A/N: Wow, thank you so much to everyone who reviewed! I'm glad everyone seems to really like the story!
Dark Dreamer xXx – Thank you so much! I hope you like this chapter! Thanks for reviewing!
Slytherin Queen93 – Thanks for reviewing! I'm glad you like it!
hopefully – I know, Chase likes her so much and Zoey doesn't see any of it. And Zoey always protecting Nicole and scolding Dana and stuff is annoying, but it's in the show so I wanted to keep her in character. Thanks for reviewing!
chichicutie24 – I'm glad you're liking the story! Yeah, it's pretty long. I've never been good at writing short stories. Most chapters are about 3 pages in Microsoft Word. Thanks for reviewing!
hilda – Thanks, I'm glad you like it! And I'm a girl, by the way. I keep meaning to update the profile thing but I haven't gotten around to it yet. Thanks for reviewing!
The Tears On My Cheeks – Thanks so much! I love writing the things with Dana and Logan. They're such a great couple. Thanks for reviewing!
Disclaimer: I don't own Zoey 101 or any of the characters, except the nameless guy selling the tickets who's only in this chapter and is extremely insignificant.
Chapter 4
Zoey couldn't believe it. She smiled more in this short walk from her dorm to the movies than she had in the past year. Chase could always make her laugh. Why did I stop hanging out with him so much? But even as she asked herself that, she knew the answer. She'd practically killed her little brother. She didn't deserve to laugh and smile and be happy while he was DEAD. He was dead. The thought made Zoey want to break down and cry right there, but she held herself together. She desperately needed to think of something else. She looked around, suddenly realizing something. "Hey, where's Dana and Logan?" she asked.
Chase stopped walking and looked around too. "I thought they were with us," he replied.
"Me too," Zoey agreed.
At that Nicole and Michael caught up with them. "Why'd we stop?" Michael inquired.
"Have you seen Dana and Logan?" Zoey questioned.
"Not since we left the room. We figured they were behind us. Although, wouldn't we have heard them arguing?" Michael realized.
"Oh yeah! I didn't hear a sound," Nicole recalled.
"Do you think they're alright?" Zoey worried.
"They're fine. Well, Dana probably is. If she beat up Logan he's probably not fine," Chase pointed out.
"Chase!" Zoey exclaimed.
"Don't worry, they'll be fine. Lets go find them," Chase suggested.
"No insulting me behind my back either," Logan added as they walked down the hall.
"How would you know if I did?" Dana asked.
"I'd find out somehow," Logan told her.
"Fine, then I just won't talk about you," Dana replied.
"But if you really were my girlfriend you'd always be gushing about how hot I am," Logan explained.
"I'm not going to 'gush' about you," Dana answered firmly.
"Fine by me. Can't wait to make out with you," Logan responded with a smile.
Dana sighed. "I'll say nice stuff," she muttered.
Logan patted her on the head. "I knew you'd come around," he said, provoking her.
Dana bit her tongue to stop from saying something nasty back. This was going to suck.
Suddenly, Zoey, Chase, Nicole, and Michael appeared. "There you guys are!" Zoey exclaimed. "What happened? We were worried about you."
"You shouldn't have been," Logan replied. "We just stopped to have a good conversation." He smiled and put his arm around Dana. "Isn't that right Dana?"
Dana bit her tongue. You can't lose this bet. "Yeah. No need to be worried," she agreed.
Zoey looked at her quizzically but Dana avoided her gaze. "Ok then. Umm, I guess we should go to the movie now," Zoey suggested.
"Great. Lets go," Logan responded, keeping his arm around Dana. Boy was he loving this. Once the others turned around he leaned into Dana and whispered, "You survived a minute. You can already act better than I thought was possible for you." He was provoking her big time and he knew it. She knew it and she knew that he knew it. Logan really could care less how long the bet lasted because he'd still get to make out with her in the end. At least, that's what he told himself. Deep down, he realized he did want the bet to last. He craved the attention from Dana, and the positive attention would be even better. He didn't want to admit it though, so he wasn't going to stop taunting her.
Dana was surprised she hadn't bitten her tongue in half yet. This sucked. Logan was going to take advantage of her and this bet and there was nothing she could do about it.
Logan could tell Dana felt like she was fighting a losing battle. Just to push her further, he leaned over and kissed her on the cheek. He pulled away almost immediately though because the way he felt from even just that little peck scared the hell out of him.
Dana had the same reaction. She felt Logan's lips against her cheek and although it was only for a split-second, it sent her heart fluttering. She couldn't believe it. Logan's such a jerk. she reminded herself. He's taking advantage of you right now. As she tried to ignore her heart's fast beating, that little voice in her head argued with her thoughts, So what? You–
Dana didn't want to hear the rest of that thought. She and Logan walked the rest of the way in silence.
The group was walking along when Zoey spotted Quinn sitting off by herself. "Hey, there's Quinn! Maybe we should ask her to come with us," she suggested.
"Does Quinn like the movies?" Chase asked.
"Sure, everyone likes the movies. Come on," she persisted, dragging Chase over.
Quinn didn't notice them as they approached the table she was working at. It wasn't until Zoey said, "Hi Quinn!" that she looked up and realized they were there.
"Oh! Hi Zoey! Hi Chase!" she replied.
"Hey we were all just going to go see that new movie and we were wondering if you'd want to come with us," Zoey explained.
Quinn looked down at her experiment. It didn't seem to be working very well. A break might do her good. "Ok, sure," she agreed.
"Great, come on!" Zoey exclaimed, leading them back to the group.
"Sorry, it's sold out," the man selling the tickets told them.
"Sold out?" Nicole repeated. "Great! Instead of planning something fun, I planned a failure!"
"Nicole, it's not a failure," Zoey assured her. "We can still do something fun!"
"Yeah!" Chase agreed. "We could see another movie."
"But we've seen all the other movies!" Nicole pointed out.
"I could show you some of my new experiments," Quinn offered.
"No!" everyone shouted.
"Hey! Chase and I just rented a bunch of movies the other day! We could all go back to our dorm and have a movie marathon or something!" Michael suggested.
Everyone agreed, with the exception of Quinn who decided to go back to work on some of her experiments, so they headed back to the guys' dorm.
A/N: So, Quinn's in this chapter, for all the Quinn fans. After that though, she's kind of forgotten. Actually, I think I messed up something in the next chapter because I forgot about her. lol. Ok, I fixed that problem. Anyway, I hope everyone enjoys this chapter! I'll try to get some chapters up during the week but I don't know how much time I'll have. The more reviews I get, the faster I'll post the next chapter, though. Unless I don't get time to post it but I'll try hard to. Thanks to everyone who's been reading this story!
