Summary: With Zoey and her friends 9th Grade year starting, they're all very excited. But then a strange new girl comes to PCA. She seems nice enough, but the secrets she harbors and the burdens she carries is enough to make their 8th Grade year more interesting than the last.

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.

The Mall

Part Two

Patience, Zoey, Nicole and Dana laughed as they sped around the corner.

"I live for life in the fast lane!" Patience said, and they all laughed. A beeping from behind told them the boys were right behind them. Dana turned around and looked as the boys came racing around the corner after them.

"They're on our tail!" Dana shrieked. She looked back on the boy and stuck her tongue out childishly at them. Chris, who was driving, leaned forward (closer to the steering wheel) and returned the favor.

"What do we do?" Nicole asked. They went flying past an intersection and Patience reared to a halt. Chris and the boys went flying past them, and a squeal of brakes told them that the boys had stopped too.

"Go Pay go!" Zoey hollered and Patience whammed her foot on the gas and went flying around the missed corner.

"There it is!" Patience skidded to a halt and the girls went running into the store.

"Come here!" Patience grabbed Zoey's hand and they went running into the boys' section of the store.

"Patience, where are we going?"

"Shh!" Patience said. They were hiding in a rack of jeans. There was a moment of silence before they heard Chase's voice say,

"Where'd they go?"

"With Patience, they're probably at the dot stand. Patience's is such an ass." Patience scowled at Chris.

"Whatever. They'll come back, come on there's a sale, 3 jeans for 20 bucks." Patience, Zoey, Nicole and Dana stifled laughter as the boys walked over to the wall that the rack they were hiding in was near. Nicole placed her fingers to her lips in a motion to be quiet before reaching down and grabbing one of the boys' ankle.

"What the-" Nicole's other hand flew to the boy's mouth and she yanked him into the rack with them. It turned out to be Michael.

"Shh!" the girls hissed together. Michael grinned at them. With a mischievous wink Patience peeked out through the pants. With a swift kick she made Chase stumble and sent him tumbling to the ground, knocking over a rack of shirts.

"Ah hahahahaha!" Chris laughed, walking over and helping Chase up.

"No man that wasn't funny! Something tripped me man I swear! It was in there!" Patience motion for everyone to follow her quietly. They slipped out of the rack as Chris opened it to look at the inside.

"Nothing's there dude. You probably just tripped on your feet. Chill." said Chris shrugging with a smirk on his face. Chase scowled before following Chris to look at the pants. Patience was having more trouble keeping her laughter to no sound. She was doubled over, laughing silently. She regained control, before peeking out again. They all watched as Chris bent over to pick up some jeans from the rack. With one swift yank Patience pulled down Chris' pants. As Chris whirled all around, Patience, Zoey, Nicole, Dana and Michael laughed as they darted over to the rack of jeans they had been in before. Dana then reached out an yanked down Chase's pants too.

"Dude this isn't funny this place is haunted!" Chase said, coming over to join Chris. They were both pulling up their pants. There was a silence as they both pondered this.

"AHHHH!" Patience yelled, jumping out of the rack.

"AHHHH!" Nicole yelled.

"AHHHH!" Zoey yelled.

"AHHHH!" Dana yelled.

"AHHHH!" Michael yelled.

"AHHHH!" Chris yelled, jumping a foot in the air as the five of them came jumping out of the rack of jeans.

"AHHHH!" Chase toppled into a display as he stumbled backwards. The five erupted into laughter.

"PATIENCE MATTHEWS THAT WAS NOT FUNNY!" Chris yelled sternly. Patience's usual laughter turned into a maniotic cackle for a moment, before returning to normal.

"Yes, yes it was." Patience said, nodding.

"No, it wasn't." Chase argued.

"Yes, it was Chase. But that's ok. We'll break you in sooner or later." Zoey said, patting him on the chest as she walked over to the girls' side. "And by the way, nice boxers!" she called, before giggling. Nicole and Dana laughed and followed after their friend.

"Come on Chase! Just asked her already!" Patience pleaded.

"Patience!" Chase muttered, glancing at Chris. Patience scoffed and said,

"Oh please! He's an empath too he probably already knows!" Chase only relaxed a little. Patience rolled her eyes and said,

"Fine. I've got a new wardrobe to buy. So, if you'll excuse me," Patience waved cockily before walking away.

"Do you like the brown shirt or the white one better?" Zoey asked, holding both up to her chest.

"Both." Patience answered.

"I don't want to spend all of your money!" Zoey said sternly, shaking her head. Patience made a nasally noise of disbelief.

"Look, I'm the one with the credit card, I'm the one who can says what you can or can not buy. So, you're going to buy those 6 shirts, those 3 skirts, and those 4 pair of pants. Nicole, you're buy those 9 shirts, the 5 skirts, and that one pair of pants, and Dana, you're buying those 3 shirt, and the 5 jeans. Now, get the stuff so we can meet the boys." the girls glanced at each other with grins on their faces and followed them out.

"Hey guys, what's up?" Patience asked as they saw the boys approach the register.

"Nothing. Here Pay, hope it's not too over your limit." Chris joked, handing a motherload of clothes to Patience. She piled all of it on the checkout counter. The lady, a teenage girl about 18 with an annoying chewing habit, looked up with a raised eyebrow.

"YO DONNY! WE NEED YOU OUT HERE!" A man, in his late 30s, came out and smiled at them.

"I'll need to see your payment type and ID." With a coy smile Patience handed him a credit card. He looked at it, before looking up at her with a smile.

"Ms. Matthews! What a pleasure it is to finally meet you! Ring this up and take off 80 percent." the girl's eyebrows shot up and said,

"80 percent! Donny isn't that-"

"Just do it." Donny snapped, then turned back to the group.

"Did you find everything to your liking Ms. Matthews?"

"Yes. We were particularly fond of the boy's jeans' racks. Those two right there." Patience said, as the girls giggled as she pointed out the racks to the Manager. Chris and Chase scowled at them.

"221.89" the girl said, finally through with ringing up the lot. The girl rang the credit card through before handing it back to Patience. She bagged the clothes as she waited for the receipt to print. Zoey pointed out which clothes went into which bags, and Donny handed Patience the receipt and said,

"Have a wonderful day. Come back anytime." Patience waved at them and they walked out of the store.

"Where to next?"Chase asked as they loaded their bags into the carts.

"The Dippin' Dots Stand, eh, duhh?" Patience said, sticking her tongue out at the boys and crossing her eyes. Chris rolled his eyes as the girls climbed in the cart.

"Christopher Penis Haliwell! Don't be so childish!" Patience admonished before cackling evilly and they sped away.

"Penis? Heh. Hehe. Heheheh." Chase said.

"Oh shut up!" Chris snapped and drove after them.

When the group got back it was nearly 9 at night and they had spent well over a thousand dollars.

"Bye Chris!" the girls hollered at once.

"Later!" said Michael and Chase.

"Bye! Call me anytime!" laughing, he drove away.
