Disclaimer: I don't own Zoey 101 or any of the characters, except Adam Mason. I don't own any of the dresses Dana tries on. The idea or the dress itself. I found them online.

Chapter 21

Dana looked in the mirror. She was trying on dresses that wouldn't surprise her if they cost as much as a car. She'd already tried on two beautiful dresses – a layered black Giorgio Armani dress with a V-neckline and cap sleeves, and a black Versace spaghetti strap dress – but Logan had turned them down. She looked at her reflection, now wearing a black Raffaello evening halter dress with a V-neckline and sequins embroidered along the bra line. It really was a beautiful dress.

Logan looked up as Dana stepped out of the dressing room. "Wow," was all he could manage.

Dana smiled, pleased, but tried not to let it show. "What do you think?" she asked.

"Wow," Logan repeated. He blinked and tried to regain his senses. "You look…great. Beautiful. Fantastic. Really sexy."

Dana laughed a little. "So?" she prompted.

"Do you like the dress?" Logan questioned.

"Of course! It's amazing," Dana exclaimed.

Logan nodded in agreement. "Then it's yours," he declared.

Dana smiled. "Really?" she inquired.

Logan smiled and nodded. "Of course baby. When you're with me, you always have to look your best," he remarked.

Dana rolled her eyes. "I'll go change," she announced, heading back into the changing room.

As she was hanging the dress back on the hanger, she saw the price tag. She looked at the cost and did a double take. "$1,650?" she whispered. "For a dress?"

Dana hesitantly came out of the dressing rooms. "Maybe I should get a different dress," she suggested.

"Why? That dress was perfect. You loved it, I loved it," Logan commented. "What's wrong?"

"It's so expensive," she confessed.

"Good," Logan replied. "I wouldn't want you wearing some cheap dress."

Dana was shocked. "It's over $1,000!" she explained.

Logan took Dana's hand. "Money is not a problem, Dana," he told her.

Dana bit her lip. "Are you sure? Isn't that a bit much for a dress?" she wondered.

"Of course not," he assured her. "Now don't worry about it."

"I don't get it," Nicole sobbed. "I was sure he liked me."

"I know Nicole. I'm sorry. I guess things didn't turn out the way we thought they would," she comforted her.

"You…knew…all along…how stupid I was…being," Nicole sniffed.

"Nicole–" Zoey began.

"Everyone but me…knew he didn't…like me," Nicole cried.

Zoey sighed. "Nicole–" she tried again.

"You don't…have to sit…here and…try to make me feel…better. It was all…my…fault," Nicole choked.

Zoey handed Nicole a box of tissues. "I'm staying, unless you really want me to leave," she told her.

Nicole gave a small smile. "Thanks Zo," she mumbled, taking a tissue.

They hugged. This was going to be a long day.

Poor Zoey. She's a mess. She thinks Dustin died because of her. I want so bad to help her…but what can I do?

Chase sighed, causing Michael to look at him. "Man, what's up with you?" he asked.

"Nothing. I'm just…I'm worried about Zoey," he confessed.

"Still? Dude, she's been acting like this for a while now," Michael pointed out.

"Even more reason to worry. And…" Chase hesitated. How much could he and should he tell Michael? "And she told me what's been bothering her."

"She did? Well what is it?" Michael questioned.

Chase paused. He thought about it. "I don't know if I should say," he concluded finally. "She's trusting me. I don't think I'm supposed to tell anyone. She said…nevermind."

"Oh come on," Michael pressed.

"Sorry man. I don't want to betray Zoey," Chase told him.

Michael sighed and returned to watching TV, leaving Chase with his thoughts. Should I tell someone? It's normal for her to miss Dustin, but she feels responsible for killing him. Should I get her some help? I could handle this on my own…couldn't I? I have to help her.

"Do people actually walk in these shoes?" Dana asked, wearily putting her foot in the shoe (which had an enormous heel) and looking up at Logan.

Logan laughed. "All the time," he told her, helping her up.

Dana got her balance, then attempted to walk. She started to wobble and grabbed onto Logan. "Please don't make me wear these," she begged, still holding on to him.

Logan smiled wickedly. It would be fun to watch her attempt to even stand in those shoes. And she'd probably always want him near her incase she started to fall…but no. He couldn't do that to her. "Of course I won't," he assured her.

Dana smiled, relieved. "Help me back to the chair?" she questioned.

Logan helped Dana stand up straight and put his arm around her. He took her hand, led her the two steps back to the chair, and helped her sit down. Dana pulled the shoes off quickly and stood up. "I never realized how much I enjoy walking," she remarked.

Logan laughed. "Ready to try the next pair of shoes?" he asked.

Dana sighed and sat down. "As long as they're not like those," Dana replied, shooting a glare at the discarded shoes.

Logan smothered a laugh. Dana smiled and opened the next shoebox. She pulled out another set of large heeled shoes. She and Logan exchanged glances, then began to laugh. "10 bucks the next box has shoes like these too," Dana challenged.

"Lets make it 50," he countered.

Dana paused. She knew she didn't have $50 that she could waste on a stupid bet. "Deal," she decided. She could get out of it if she needed to.

They both watched as Dana opened the next box. "Yes! I win!" she exclaimed.

"Double or nothing," Logan suggested. "$100. Winner takes all."

Dana bit her lip. "You're on," she agreed. She opened the next box. "Damn!"

"Yes!" Logan shouted, pumping his fist into the air. "Pay up babe."

Dana bit her lip, making sure Logan saw, and hoping it looked sexy. "Logan…" she began. "I don't have $100."

"Then why'd you bet it?" Logan inquired.

"I thought I'd win," she explained. She glanced at the ground and then looked back up at him with her best puppy dog face. "Can we just forget about it?" she pleaded.

Logan was so close to doing anything she told him to but he held on. "Lets make a little trade," he declared.

Dana sighed. So close. "Ok, fine. I'll make out with you," she announced.

Logan smiled. "I know you want me baby, but that wasn't what I was going to say," he commented.

"Then what's the deal?" she quizzed.

"You have to work off your debt. At any given time, I can give you a task and we'll assign it a dollar value. You have to keep that up until you've done $100 worth of tasks," Logan revealed.

Dana was weary. Stop betting with Logan! she chided herself. "It's not like I have any other choice," she reasoned.

Logan smiled. "Nope," he informed her. "Now try on these shoes."

A/N: Another bet. lol. I like when Dana tries on the giant heels. lol. The first time I wore heels with a big slope up, I always felt like I was walking weird. lol. And I was wearing them for the play I was in, so that was nerve wracking. I kept asking my friends, "Does it look like I'm walking weird?" because I felt tipped forward and stuff. lol. Next chapter doesn't have any Dana and Logan in it. Sorry guys! I write them too much – I have to save some stuff! lol. There's some good Nicole stuff though. And there's more with Zoey and Chase too. Michael's there too, but as sideline stuff. I'll post the next chapter after I get at least 5 reviews! Thanks! Bye!
