Disclaimer: I don't own Zoey 101 or any of the characters, except Mr. Henson. I also don't own the title of this chapter. It was a title of a TV show or something. I found it on the Internet Movie Database website.


Chapter 10

Zoey glanced behind her, probably for the fifth time in the past one minute. Dana and Logan were walking behind Chase and her on their way to science. Zoey was almost certain that, given the opportunity, they'd sneak off again.

Dana rolled her eyes as she saw Zoey glance and her and Logan yet again. "Wanna sneak off?" Logan whispered.

Dana felt the chills run up her spine, but she smiled and laughed. Zoey looked at them, causing Dana to laugh harder. Logan grinned. Zoey sighed and turned back around. Dana forced herself to stop laughing. "Did Chase give you that information packet for the project?" she asked, changing the subject.

"Yeah," Logan answered.

"Did you read it?" Dana questioned.

Logan grinned. "No," he confessed.

Dana smiled and laughed slightly. She'd been expecting that. "Did you read it?" he shot back.

Dana grinned as well. "No," she told him.

Logan laughed. "Here's a better opportunity for you to prove to me you can act," he teased. "You didn't have to act like you wanted me, because you did all along."

"You wish," Dana retorted, no matter how true that statement had been.

Logan grinned. "You know it," he murmured, sending chills up Dana's spine.

"We're here!" Zoey announced suddenly, turning around as if she wanted to make sure Dana and Logan actually were still there and weren't going to bolt now. She probably did. Dana thought.

"Hooray," Dana replied dryly. Logan snickered. Dana shot him a wicked smile. The snickering stopped. "After you, Logan," she declared, in a mock innocent voice.

Logan opened his mouth to protest but Dana pushed him through the doorway into the classroom. They went up to Mr. Henson who was sitting at his desk. Logan cleared his throat. "Excuse me, uhh, Mr. Henson?" he began.

Mr. Henson looked up from his papers. "Ah, Mr. Reese. Miss Cruz. It's been so long I barely recognized you two," he remarked. "Did you–"

He was interrupted by Dana who began coughing violently. Mr. Henson looked at her nervously. "Do you need some water?" he inquired.

"No, I–" Dana stopped to cough some more. "I'll be fine. It's just left over from–" She began coughing once again. "From being sick."

Logan was surprised. He never really had doubted her acting abilities, but he'd had no idea she could act that well. "Oh, alright then. So, uhh, let's see, where was I? Oh yes. Did you two read the information packets I had Mr. Matthews and Miss Brooks give you?" Mr. Henson quizzed.

"Umm, no sir. We–" Dana coughed more. "We wanted to be able to give it our full attention but that bug was awful so we just couldn't concentrate."

"Oh, yes, that's right. Miss Brooks told me that," Mr. Henson remembered.

Dana's eyes widened. She'd forgotten that Zoey and Chase had been lying about where they'd been. Luckily, their lies hadn't conflicted with hers. "So, uhh, what should we do?" Logan wondered, adding a weak cough at the end.

Mr. Henson gave him an odd look. "He was sick first, I think I caught it from him," Dana piped up quickly. "Plus, don't boys have stronger immune systems?" she pointed out, hoping she was right.

"Yes, yes, true. Yes, that makes sense," he agreed. Dana breathed a sigh of relief. Logan made a mental note to thank her later. "I assigned the project two days ago. I assume Mr. Matthews and Miss Brooks told you two that you will be partners?"

"Yes sir," Dana and Logan responded.

"You two aren't aware what the project is though?" Mr. Henson queried. The two shook their heads no. Mr. Henson smiled. Even he liked having a little fun every once in a while. He recalled how many times he'd had to yell at Dana and Logan for yelling at each other. This would certainly be interesting. "Have a seat. You can read your information packets when everyone else starts working. I'm sure you'll catch on quickly," he assured them.

Somewhat confused at the lack of information they'd received, the two took their seats. As they sat down, Logan leaned over and whispered to Dana, "Thank you and you might've been right."

Dana let the chills run up her spine, then thought about what Logan had said. Though he hadn't directly said it, she knew he was telling her that she was a good actress. "You're welcome and thank you," she answered.

Logan smiled but before he could say anything else, Mr. Henson stood up from his desk and began speaking, "At this stage you all – with the exception of our friends Mr. Reese and Miss Cruz – know what the project is. I'll now be handing out the 'materials'."

Mr. Henson disappeared into the storage closet, reappearing shortly after with a box. "In this box is the most important part of your project," he informed them.

Dana and Logan exchanged glances. What could be so important? They watched as Mr. Henson opened the box and pulled out…

"Oh man. You have got to be kidding me," Dana heard Logan mutter.

Dana glanced at the baby doll wearily. She and Logan exchanged glances once again. "Now, each couple has to come up here and 'adopt' a baby. On your way back to your seats, take one of these 'birth certificates' and fill it out," Mr. Henson explained.

Dana slumped down in her seat. She had a bad feeling about this project. Glancing over at Logan, she could tell he wasn't happy about it either. They'd both assumed it probably would've been something simple they could finish off at the last minute and get a passing grade on.

Dana sighed. "I guess we should go get a baby," she reasoned.

Logan sighed as well, but stood up. They went to the end of the line that had formed. They were last, but they had absolutely no problem with that. "Maybe there won't be any babies left," Logan noted.

Dana stifled a laugh. Logan grinned. He went to put his arm around her but Dana shot him a look of death, stopping him in his tracks. He looked away. Dana sighed and let her hand brush gently against his. Logan knew better than to glance down at their hands first. Instead, he just smiled at her and she smiled back.

"Ah, Mr. Reese, Miss Cruz, what are you thinking of the project so far?" Mr. Henson almost bubbled.

Dana and Logan shrugged in response. Mr. Henson laughed. "Go ahead, choose a baby," he instructed.

They peered into the box. There were three dolls left. "They all look the same to me," Logan muttered.

"Which one should we pick?" Dana wondered.

"Whichever one's going to be easiest to take care of," Logan joked.

Dana stifled a laugh yet again. "How about…that one," she stated, pointing to the baby that was buried beneath another one.

"We definitely have to pick one?" Logan confirmed.

Dana let out a small laugh. "Yes, we do," she settled the matter, pulling out the baby.

Mr. Henson watched Dana holding the baby by the arm wearily. "Miss Cruz, you can't hold a baby like that," he put in.

"It's not real," Logan mumbled.

Mr. Henson heard him and frowned. "Mr. Reese, this is a very important and helpful project. One day you may have a child and you can look back and think, 'Thank goodness I did that project in Mr. Henson's class.'," he chirped.

Dana and Logan exchanged glances. "So, uhh, what do we do now?" she asked.

"For homework last night, I had everyone plan out their budgets along with who would watch the baby, when, and for how long. Ideally, you two should spend time together with your baby but sometimes the couple's schedules are just too conflicted," Mr. Henson rambled.

"Are you talking about real life or the project?" Logan questioned.

"I was referring to the project. You and Dana should spend as much time together with your baby as possible," Mr. Henson told them.

Logan held back a grin, as did Dana. "Ok, so what do we do right now?" she quizzed.

"Fill out a 'birth certificate' then read your information packets until I give the class further instructions," Mr. Henson instructed.


"I think it should be a boy," Logan announced.

"You can't just pick whether or not your kid's a boy or a girl," Dana pointed out.

"It's just a project," Logan countered.

Dana sighed and flipped open her information packet. She was used to making the other person do the majority of the work. This was going to be a challenge. After reading the first sentence, she concluded it would be easier to just ask Mr. Henson. But she'd done enough work already. "Logan, go ask Mr. Henson how we figure out if it's a boy or a girl," she ordered.

"Why me?" he asked.

"Because you're just sitting on your ass. Now get up and go ask him," she repeated.

"No!" Logan argued.

Dana glared at him. "Logan, just go and ask him already!" she exclaimed.

Logan smirked. "Make me," he taunted.

Dana glared again. Logan continued to smirk. Dana stood up and lunged at him. Logan grabbed the baby off the desk and threw it at her. She caught it and slammed it down onto the desk. She grabbed his arm and twisted it. "Hey! Let go!" Logan shouted.

"MISS CRUZ! MR. REESE!"

Dana and Logan froze. Dana dropped Logan's arm. "Shit," she muttered, glancing at the baby they'd just tossed around.

"The two of you! In my office! NOW!" Mr. Henson barked.

"This is all your fault," Logan muttered as they followed Mr. Henson.

Dana turned to face him, the fire dancing in her eyes. "My fault?" she hissed. "If you'd just stopped being a lazy, arrogant, jerk and just gotten up off your ass, we wouldn't be in trouble right now! And why the hell did you throw the baby? We weren't even out of the classroom yet!"

"You're the one who slammed it into the table!" he shot back.

"Sit!" Mr. Henson commanded.

They obeyed. "I've had to tell you two to stop arguing before, but this…this was unbelievable! Are you two even aware of what you were doing?" Mr. Henson yelled.

"Logan was being lazy," Dana declared, glaring at Logan.

"Dana was being bossy. And she tried to attack me," Logan growled.

"You chucked the baby at me," Dana snarled.

"You threw it into the table," Logan snapped, "AND twisted my arm."

"You told me to make you get up," Dana retorted.

"You were being lazy by not getting up too!" Logan remarked.

"I'd been doing everything else!" Dana hollered.

"Yeah right! You didn't do anything!" Logan screamed.

"I did a hell of a lot more than you did!" Dana bellowed.

"You did not! You just sat there on your ass as much as I did so don't you try to blame all this shit on me!" Logan roared.

Dana stood up. "Logan Reese, you are the most conceded, arrogant, and lazy asshole I have ever met!" she screeched.

Logan stood up as well. "Well you're the bossiest, most stuck up, and lazy bitch I've ever met!" he screamed.

With that, Dana slapped him and stormed out of the room. She went back to her desk, grabbed her things, stuffed them in her bag, grabbed her bag, and stalked out of the room, slamming the door shut behind her. Logan was in complete shock, as was Mr. Henson and the rest of the class.

Before Mr. Henson even had a chance to try to regain control of the situation, Logan grabbed his stuff as well and stormed off to go find Dana.


A/N: Wow! Dramatic changes with Dana and Logan this chapter. She slapped him! Again, sorry for the extreme wait for this chapter! Next chapter is a big chapter! Everyone's there. There's aftermath to this chapter with Dana, Logan, Zoey, and Chase. Also there's some happier Nicole and Michael bits. And there's something that adds to the conflicts. I feel terrible for making you guys wait so long so I'll post the next chapter after just 5 reviews. It should be able to be up some time Sunday afternoon. Thank you so much for your patience and I apologize again for the wait! Bye!
