Disclaimer: I don't own Zoey 101 or Charmed. The only thing I own are the characters you don't recognize. These include Porter MatthewsHaliwell, Maradeth, and Patience MatthewsHaliwell. But that's about it….OH! And the plot! I own the plot, so don't take it.

Chapter Two

Bonding, Jealousy, and Suspicions

When Patience finally got back to her room, (after getting lost 3 times and orbing into the wrong building) she gently opened the door, and quietly stepped in. Just as she had thought, Zoey, Dana, and Nicole were already fast asleep. It was then that Patience realized she was missing something very important: a piece of knowledge that would be needed very much for her stay at PCA: where was she supposed to sleep!

Sighing, Patience looked around, trying to spot an extra bed. She hadn't really looked around the room when she had first arrived, and now she really regretted it. The room was pitch black; there was no moon outside, and the street lamps outside had gone off at 11:30. It was now 12:30 and she couldn't see 2 inches in front of her nose if she wanted to.

Patience sighed, and sat down, with her back against the wall.

"Welcome to PCA." she said quietly to herself, and fell asleep.

Zoey stretched, yawning as she shielded her eyes from the sun that was pouring into Room 101. Nicole sat up on the top bunk, her hair a fuzzy mess. Dana too rolled over and looked at Zoey.

"Guess our new roommate never came home." Zoey mumbled. Dana shook her head with a slight laugh and pointed to the door. Zoey turned and looked to see Patience, sitting Indian style against the wall next to the door, fast asleep. Nicole climbed down from the bunk, and said,

"I think we should get dressed, and then wake her. God knows she needs all the sleep she can get who knows what time she came in last night." Nodding in agreement, Zoey and Dana got up and started in their normal routine.

20 minutes later the girls stood in front of Patience, all looking down at her with amused faces. The was a knock on the door, and Chase and Michael entered, being very loud.

"Shhhhh!" chorused the girls, pointing to their new roommate. The boys chuckled and Chase said, in a whisper,

"After you wake her up are you guys going to meet us at the beach?"

"I thought we could show her around, get her the stuff she needs, ya know?" the boys nodded and Chase piped in,

"I'm in!" Michael slapped him and said,

"Dude, I thought we were going to the beach." Chase turned to face him and said,

"Sorry dude I can't I'm showing Pay around."

"Pay?" said everyone, and Chase blushed. He had no time to retort however, because Patience stirred and looked up.

"I didn't know where I was supposed to sleep last night." Zoey laughed and said,

"You could have woken me up." She eyed Zoey through a sleepy eye and said,

"Yeah well, I have bad experiences with people who I wake up. What was everyone saying my name for?"

"We're going to show you around, starting with your bed." Dana offered her hand to Patience as she got up and then said,

"So go get dressed and meet us outside the building in 20 minutes ok?" Patience nodded and sped off in the direction of the closet.

20 minutes later Patience walked down the stairs and opened the door, squinting as the bright morning sunlight met her eyes. She was wearing a pair of jeans that was ripped at several odd places including her right knee. She had black flat flip flop and a dark blue spaghetti strap shirt. It had sparkles and sequins at the top and the bottom was trimmed with a blue, silver and green design. Her curly dark brown hair was still wet.

"Hey guys, hey Chase." she said, now fully awake. The girl said hi and Chase, smirking evilly said,

"Hey Sabrina how's it going?" Patience sneered playfully at him and said,

"Very funny." Zoey narrowed her eyes uncertainly at Patience. Sabrina? Since when are Chase and Patience all buddy-buddy?

Why? Jealous? Thought an evil voice in Zoey's head. No! Zoey pushed the thought out of her head, and instead focused on the name. Sabrina? Her name's not even close to Sabrina.

"What's your middle name?" Zoey asked, abruptly stopping all chatter. Patience cocked her head and said,

"Alodia. Why?" Zoey shrugged,

"Just wondering." Alodia's no where near Sabrina. What was with that name? She jumped, realizing that everyone had walked away. She ran forward to catch up, still trying to figure out Sabrina.


Thank you so0o much to:

MrsLoganReese- I'm glad you liked it! I'm used to writing Charmed and Harry Potter fics, and you can't really get a unique idea withthose, so it's good to know I finally found something that's original. Well, Patience can't tell anyone for the reasons that are everyone would probably not believe her including COUGHLOGANREESECOUGH lol yes. Chase always seemed like the one to be able to believe someone, and he's so trustworthy, so I thought it would be him she would tell. Thank you so much for reviewing and please keep it up! Do you watch Charmed?

Ok, what you can look forward to next chapter- we'll introduce her cousin Chris, and school will start. You'll learn more about Patience's father's death too, and her past.

A beta! If you think I could use one, review and tell me please! Now...see that enchanting little gray button? hit it! hit it!
