A/N: Okay, I haven't paid too much attention to this story, as my other story is just getting soooo good. But, I must stray away for that for at least a chapter, and write to this story. Not too much to say, this will be Day 2 of their adventures.

Day 2

Friends Coming Together-part II

Zoey walked into the Day Care with her Dad, once again. She had a bright smile on her face, though she was still just a little nervous. Chase saw the two enter the play room. He got up and walked his way over to them. He waved to Zoey, and then lifted his head up to see her dad's face. He was a tall man. "Hello sir." Chase greeted to Zoey's dad.

"Well hello there young man." Her dad said back to him, crouching down. "Are you one of my little girl's friends?" Chase nodded at him. "Alright, well I guess I'll leave you two here then." He turned to his daughter. "I'll be back in a few hours, okay?"

"Okay...bye Daddy!" she responded, giving him a big hug.

The two watched the man leave the building, and turned back to face the room. "Where...are the others?" Zoey asked Chase.

"They aren't here yet. You got here pretty early." he told her.

"What about you? You're the only one here." Zoey pointed out.

Chase looked down at the ground. "They work a lot. I don't see them too much." Zoey felt bad now for bringing it up. "But your wrong. There's one more person here. Come on, I want you to meet her." Zoey wasn't sure, but she trusted Chase. So she grabbed his hand and he walked her over to the mysterious person.

The girl was banging on some of the toys with a small plastic hammer. She looked up when the two stopped in front of her. "Oh, hello there Chase. And... I don't think I've had the pleasure of meeting you yet." she said, referring to Zoey.

"Zoey, this is Quinn. She's really smart. She makes a lot of neat stuff. She even made something that the grown-ups don't even know about. It's "this" big!" Chase described to her, moving his arms into the air to show "just how big".

"Glad to meet you Zoey." Quinn said to her.

"Hi..." she said lightly.

"I have to get back to work, so I guess I'll see you both later then." Quinn told the both of them.

"Um...okay Quinn, bye." Chase said. "Zoey, you want to play ball?" he asked her, running over to grab a small, bouncy ball.

Zoey frowned at him. "Uh...I can't...catch very good."

"That's okay. I'll toss it easy." he assured her. He threw the ball at her, making sure it did more bounce then it did distance.

She nervously watched the ball bounce toward her. She knew she wasn't going to catch it. She never could catch anything. Zoey reached out into the air, to try and grab it. When the small object came near, she closed her hands to catch it. Unfortunately, she closed them too late, and the ball went through her arms. She looked down at the ground, and told Chase, "See, I can't catch anything..."

"That's okay, you'll get it next time." Chase told her. She looked at him, and then picked the ball up to toss it back at him. Chase caught it.

They continued to throw the small, red ball at each other. Chase purposely missed a few times, so Zoey would not get upset at him. Zoey never noticed this, as she was to focused on trying to catch it herself. After about the ninth throw, Zoey felt like crying. "It's not much fun when I can't catch it too." she said to Chase with tear filled eyes.

"Come on, I know you can get it. Just one more try?" He asked her. She wiped the tears in her eyes and agreed. He softly bounced it her way, and closed his eyes, hoping she would catch it. He was having fun with her. Chase listened to the ball's bounces. Suddenly, there was silence. He opened his eyes, and saw a shocked Zoey. She had done it! She had caught the ball!

She screamed in happiness. "I did it! I caught it! I'm so happy!" She dropped the ball and ran to hug Chase. "And it's all because of you. Thank you Chase!" He was surprised by the hug, but returned it anyway.

"Your welcome..." he said to her.

When Zoey let go of Chase, they both saw Quinn standing next to them. She was holding something. "Look! I've finally finished it!" She told them. They both looked closely at the item in her hands.

"What does it do?" Zoey asked her, still overjoyed that she caught a ball at last.

"What can't it do?" she said, correcting her. "It can clean a room, play games with you. So many things."

Zoey looked at it with a puzzled look on her face. She didn't believe that the small device could do all that. It was just made out of some play-doh, building blocks, and other random items. Chase noticed the disbelieving look on Zoey's face, and knew what she was thinking. "Remember when I told you Quinn always makes stuff?" he asked Zoey. She nodded at him. "Well, trust me, this thing will probably do what she said it will do."

Quinn was about to demonstrate it, when one of the adult caretakers tapped on her shoulder. "Quinn dear, your mother is here to pick you up."

"Okay..." she said to the lady. She gave the toy-device to Chase. "You know where to put this."

Chase nodded to her as she walked outside. When she was out of view, he motioned for Zoey to follow her, which she did, and walked to the playhouse, and entered it. "Why are we in here?" she asked him, confused.

"I have to put this in Quinn's closet." he told her, bending down to push a button under the chair of the playhouse.

"What do you– ?" She started to ask, but was cut off when the floor started sinking. She was scared, and took a hold onto Chase.

"Don't be scared. This is what I told you about earlier. What Quinn made, that the grown-ups don't know about. She made a whole room underneath us. And there's a lot of neat stuff we can play with down there. But you have to remember one rule. You can't tell anyone. Not even your dad. Can you do that?" He asked her.

When the ground stopped lowering, she saw a huge room, with lots of lights and switches. She nodded at him. Chase walked over to a door, which had a small sign on the front that read, 'Closet'. When he placed Quinn's item where she wanted it, he turned back to Zoey, who was still staring in awe. Chase got a quick idea, and walked over to a small panel, and asked Zoey, "Here, I'll show you something. Come stand over here." he told her, pointing over to where he was standing. Chase had an idea that he knew Zoey would love. He was glad me managed to memorize how it works from watching Quinn do it in the past. "Do you like flowers?" he asked her.

She smiled at him, "I love flowers, they always smell so nice." He nodded, and pushed a few buttons on the panel, and rotated a knob, which cycled through some pictures on it's screen. Zoey watched him in amazement. Finally Chase pushed the green button, and it got dark. Zoey grabbed onto his arm. "What's happening Chase?" she asked, with a little fear in her voice.

"Just wait a little longer," he assured her. Soon, the darkness left, and both Zoey and Chase were standing in the middle of a huge field of flowers. She let go of Chase's arm, and walked forward, looking around. She could see random wildlife around her. Deer, cute little bunnies, birds flying through the air, and your random squirrel. Up in the sky, in the distance, Zoey saw a huge rainbow that stretched across it. She looked back at Chase, her eyes sparkling.

"Wow! I've never seen anything like this. It's so pretty! But, how did we get here?" She asked him, with a smile still on her face.

"Quinn made it," he told her. "She calls it...Virtual Reality. Everything looks, feels, smells real. But it's not really there." Zoey turned back around and picked up a flower. She placed it near her nose and took a small sniff.

Wow, it smells really nice. She thought. But suddenly it went black again. When the light returned, they were back in the metal room. She looked at Chase.

"We should get back up to the room." He told her. Zoey was disappointed, but figured it was for the best. They went back to the piece of floor that lowered to get to the room, and it rose back up into the playhouse above. When they had both exited the small house, Zoey gave her friend another hug.

"That was the bestest thing ever!" As soon as she let go, she noticed her dad by the door. "Daddy!" she yelled, running over to him, giving him a hug. Chase watched her talk to him for a moment, and then saw her turn around and wave goodbye at him. He waved back at her, and watched as she and her father left. Chase turned around and saw that his other friends had arrived while they were down below. He walked over to them, and sat.

-------------------------------------------------

A/N: I'd like to now say, when I wrote the description to the flower field during Chase and Zoey's virtual reality trip, I busted up laughing. As soon as I hit the rainbow part, I couldn't keep it inside. I was imagining it as I wrote it. Couldn't help it.. Heh.. Yep.. So this is adventure number 2. I'm sure most of the readers are going to want me to post more to my first story, and not to this one. Since it's at such a huge cliffie spot. Well tough monkeys. I didn't feel like doing that story, I wanted this one. So, go on... Review now!
