"Hey guys," Chase said smoothly, as his friends came up and hugged their friend. "You guys look...uh..different."

Chase mostly meant Nicole, seeing as she cut her hair to her shoulders, and had light blonde highlights. "Thanks Chase...I think." said Nicole, putting her happy face into confusion.

"How are you guys going? I miss anything?" Chase said as Logan and Dana moved closer together, linking hands. Chase's eyes widened. "I guess I did."

Logan gave out a laugh, "Yeah you did dude."

They started to walk outside. They got to Logan's car, and Chase's rental car. "So Zoey knows nothing about this right?" He was mostly again, talking to/about Nicole. She was the one mostly keeping in contact with Chase. "I need everything to be a surprise. Even the surprise I haven't told."

"Yeah she doesn't know, but she was happy after reading her email. Something Dustin sent her." Nicole said with a suspesious expression on her face.

"Wait..dude, there's MORE? And you didn't tell us?" Logan said, going balistic.

"My love life has nothing to do with you." Chase said, laughing. "And yes there is more."

Dana finally stepped in, "Good for you Chase, I'm sure she'll love it."

Chase smiled, "Thanks Dana, anyway the plan is for you and Nicole to get her down to the school office at 6:30. Make sure she closes her eyes. Just tell her Dustin's here and he's got something for her. And then I'll grab her arms thinking it's still me, you guys leave and watch from somewhere."

"Why do we have to leave?" Logan said.

"Well if you want to see my other surprise you have to go somewhere else."

Logan groaned, "ugh, whatever man."

They all got in there cars and drove off. Chase was staying at the Brook's house, yup they knew too. But they knew the other surprise too. While Logan, Michael, Dana, and Nicole were going back to the school to see what Zoey was doing.

Meanwhile….

Zoey was up in her dorm reading the latest issue of Teen People she flipped through the pages, looking. She finally found something when Dana and Nicole came in the room. "Hey guys." Zoey said, standing up walking to the desk.

"Hey Zoe, what's up?" Dana and Nicole said.

Zoey turned around and smiled, "Nothin' really, but I went out and shopped today." That was the first real smile they all saw. Zoey turned around and showed off her new outfit. New jeans; lightish blue with holes at the knees, and a hot pink tee-shirt.

"You look great Zoey," Dana said walking over and gave her a hug.

Zoey returned the hug and then looked at Dana, "What was that for?"

"Oh nothing, come on close your eyes." Nicole walked up to Dana and made sure Zoey closed her eyes.

They led Zoey out of the dorm room, down the stairs to the front office of the building. Chase was there with a bouquet of roses. He didn't look "fancy," but he looked nice. When Dana and Nicole finally let go, they ran out of sight before Zoey noticed anything. "Open your eyes," Chase said in a whisper as Zoey pulled her hands from her face.

Zoey was shocked, she couldn't believe it; Chase did come back, he still loved her. "Chase," Zoey said in a whisper back. "You're back." Tears started to form as she walked over and gave him a hug he missed. He slowly picked her up and twirled her around, giving her the first real kiss she's had for the last three months.

"I missed you so much Zoe."

"I missed you too." Zoey said wiping tears.

"There's one more thing."

Chase put his hand in his pocket and out came...
