CHAPTER 2: NOT SO FAST

A/N: wow, I never thought I'd write that much and especially 'cuz I wrote that entire first chappie in one day. This one, chapter 2, is being done in the same day as the first one. I'm on a roll, but one day I will end up with writer's block, probably. If finals don't come first. I get out at the end of June I know for some people in the country that seems late.

Ignore the thing that said don't review until chapter whatever. That was a mistake. Also, I'd like to say that this story came out better than I thought it would, which shows you the low standards I set for myself. (No, I don't need a psychiatrist) lol. Right, I'll stop talking now and here's the story, although I have the disclaimer first  Oh, and don't worry, they will go on the field trip-look for it in chapter three.

DISCLAIMER: If I owned Zoey 101, which I don't, or any thing involved with it, which I also don't, I wouldn't be sitting here typing what I wish would happen on the show. I'd be making an episode or movie (hey, nickelodeon-make a Zoey movie!) and making money. I wish I got paid to write this, but I like writing it anyway. Right-better get back on track. I don't own Zoey, blah blah blah, and here's the story:

A/N: we had left off with "Suddenly she sprang up and rushed out of the room." Like I told you before, Dana is getting payback and she's not getting out of it by running away after pretending to lose her energy. (Sorry Dana fans-I Am a Dana fan, too. She's cool) Actually, I'm an everyone fan.

"Don't worry-I got this set up while you were holding her. She's not getting away.", Quinn said.Logan smiled-this was what Dana got for messing with him. Nobody messes with Logan and gets away with it. (There you go Logan fans) "Now, with this new invention of mine, she will come walking in this room and shake my hand", Quinn said. Quinn typed stuff on her computer, did something with the remote, and frowned. She typed more stuff in and fiddled around with more buttons on the remote. A couple minutes went by. Logan was about to ask if this was going to work, when Dana walked into the lounge, across the room to where the two were standing, and shook Quinn's hand. Quinn and Logan smiled. "Good this works!", said Quinn. "Now, Logan, keep in mind that she won't remember anything when I take her off my mind control system. The last thing she'll remember is running out of the room after you let her go. And also, I could make her do anything that she's already capable of doing, but for example, if she couldn't do a back flip before, I can't make her do one with this invention."

"That's okay", said Logan. "As long as this works, I'm not worried." "Umm, one thing, Logan. I've never tried this on anyone else, so if something goes wrong, it'll be hard to fix." "Good" said Logan, "because she is not getting off easy." Dana walked over to Logan and took his books off the table next to him. She opened a notebook and started writing something. Logan looked over her shoulder and saw that she was finishing the essay that the little twerp hadn't finished.

"Well, Logan, there you go. So far the mind controller is working. Now, I must try to get her off it, which I can't remember exactly how to do. I left the manual I wrote for this in my dorm. I'll be right back. Whatever you do, however, don't touch the remote or my computer." With that, Quinn left the room to get the manual. Logan sat down next to Dana as she continued writing.

Zoey came back into the room and walked over to the two of them. "Why didn't you guys leave?", she asked. "Dana wanted to help me with my essay" Logan said.
Zoey looked at them suspiciously. Dana was still writing. "Why would she want to help you? And she's not helping you, it's more like doing it for you! Logan, what is going on?" Logan shrugged. "Hey, she is finally coming to her senses. I am perfectly fine with her helping me. She probably feels bad for…um, you know, for this morning." Logan still had a problem with the fact that Dana had showed him up. "That or you are controlling her mind" Zoey said, not realizing what she had said. "Wait a sec.. Quinn's stuff is here still…where is she?"

At that time, Quinn came back into the room. She didn't realize Zoey was there. "Logan, one of my rats escaped and ate the manual for my mind controller! I don't know how to get Dana back to herself!" Logan looked at Zoey, who had her hands over her mouth. "You used Quinn's invention on Dana? I can't believe you, or you either, Quinn! You have to figure out how to bring her out of your experiment!" Zoey looked angrily at Logan and Quinn. Chase, Nicole and Michael all came in then. They heard Zoey yelling at Logan. Nicole went over to Dana and pulled Logan's notebook out of her hands. She looked at what he had written. "No wonder she always gets good English grades…" she murmured to herself. Suddenly she snapped back to reality. "How could you do this to her?" she screamed at Quinn. Logan was looking angry now, too. "I can't believe I did this" he said. "It's a little late for that, isn't it! You know, you need to use the tiny portion of a brain that you have more often, Logan!" Michael told him. "Lay off me" said Logan. "I was not the one who invented this" he said, looking at Quinn. Quinn looked like she was going to cry.

"I promise I will fix this. Until then, I will have Dana live in my dorm so I can work on getting her out of this. When I do, I will never use this stupid invention again, and I will safely dispose of it so I don't ever have to see it again." Quinn typed on her computer and worked with the remote. Dana stood up and walked over to Quinn.

"Uhh, Quinn, I don't know about you, but Dana is signed up for the field trip." Chase said.

"So am I" said Quinn, "but hopefully I can fix her before then." Chase looked at her disbelievingly and told her, "in case you've forgotten, the field trip is tomorrow! You think you can fix her before then?" Quinn said "I'll try, and I'll stay up all night with her, working. I will do this." "You'd better" said Zoey.

Quinn and Dana went to Quinn's room, Nicole and Zoey went to room 101, and Logan and Michael went to their dorm. (I can't remember their dorm #, although I did know it- if u know, put it in your review)

Later, after everyone else had gone to bed, Quinn was still working with Dana. Quinn was running out of ideas.

In room 101, Zoey and Nicole could not sleep. At the same time, they both decided to sneak out of the room to go to the beach, which was their favorite thinking place. When they each saw the other get up, they said at the same time, "I can't sleep and I was going to the beach to think." They giggled. "Zoey, I am really worried about Dana." "So am I" replied Zoey. They put on their robes and flip-flops, grabbed a few blankets, and left for the beach. It was about 1:30 in the morning. In the boys' dorm, Logan fell into shallow, fitful sleep and woke up after about 10 minutes. He was restless and decided to go to the beach, too. When he was almost out the door, he realized that the two other boys weren't in their beds either.

AT THE BEACH:

Zoey and Nicole reached the beach and saw Chase and Michael sitting on the sand at the other end. The two girls headed over there. "Hey Chase, hey Mike" the girls said together. Chase didn't answer. Michael said "We couldn't sleep, so we came here to think. We were both worried about Dana, right Chase?" Chase didn't answer him either. "Chase?" Zoey said. She sat next to him and looked at him. "Aww, he's asleep" she said. He was shivering in his sleep, so she sat close to him and wrapped a blanket around both of their shoulders. She let him lean against her. Nicole and Michael each took a blanket, too. Everyone was quiet, and the ones who were awake looked out over the ocean, thinking. Soon Nicole noticed Logan coming their way. He sat down next to Mike, who told him to take a blanket. Nobody talked, they just sat there on the beach, listening to the ocean.

THE NEXT MORNING:

The next morning, Zoey woke up to her cell phone ringing. Everyone had fallen asleep on the beach. Zoey wriggled out of the blanket she had been sharing with Chase and walked ten feet away to take her call. It was Quinn.

Q:I went to your dorm, Zoey, and knocked but nobody answered. Where are you? It's 7:30 and the buses leave at nine sharp.

Z:Sorry-everyone went to the beach last night 'cuz we couldn't think, and we fell asleep. Did you get Dana back to normal or are you still controlling her?

Q:Umm…sorry, but I kinda fell asleep and she did too.

Z:Wait…you didn't control her to go to sleep, did you?

(Quinn suddenly realized that she had, and she vaguely remembered writing in her manual that if she used her controller to make the person sleep, the mind controller would shut off.)

Q:I DID control her to go to sleep, because I was tired and just wanted to see if it worked! I remember now, if you make the person sleep, the controller shuts off and when the person wakes up, you have to reset the controller if you want to control them! I gotta wake her up! Then she'll be normal!

Z:Well, we'll meet you by the buses at the front entrance at 8:45 so we have time to get checked in on the list and we can board the buses. We've already packed our stuff, so Nicole and I will just bring Dana's stuff down with our stuff. Bye, Quinn!

Q:Bye, Zoey! Gotta wake her up!

The girls hung up and Zoey went back to where everyone else was lying. She bent down and gently shook them each awake. Then she explained about the conversation she had just had with Quinn. They were all relieved that Dana was going to be okay. Nicole looked at her cell. It was ten to eight. "You guys!" she said. "We don't have much time to go back to our dorms, shower, eat, and meet the buses. Let's get a move on!" The girls picked up their blankets and everyone returned to their dorms.
