Where the Heart Is

Summary: This story is based on the episode when Zoey and her friends were going camping to Yosemite for their spring break until Coco Wexle (their chaperone) cancelled on them in the last minute due to her break up with Carl (her on/off boyfriend) who broke up with her by calling her a crazy lunatic after hurting his mom by falling on top of her when she was sitting on the tree branch when she thought Carl was cheating on her when it turns out to be his mother so she explains that she has to go to Fresco to fix their relationship and can't take them camping which left Zoey and her friends complaining and protested the whole thing that she can't just leave them by themselves for 2 ½ weeks in PCA but, instead of staying in PCA I decided to twist this story where Zoey saves the day by taking them to Lake Tahoe (as a backup plan) Her two protectors Elias and Yukiya (her body guards/protectors) since Zoey is secretly a royal princess and a fairy but, can transform into a mermaid due to her powers where nobody knows except her family, Mr. Bender and Dean Rivers so they all decided to go to Lake Tahoe instead of going camping where her family owns a cabin down there which was a perfect time to go skiing.

In their spring break instead of a week I made it 2 1/2 weeks since this is a Logan and Zoey (Zogan) story so if you're a huge fan of them as a couple here's your story... oh and I also added guest stars in here: The Troop, How to Rock, Victorious, Descendants 2015, Liv & Maddie, Harry Potter & Pretty Little Liars considering some of them are going to be Zoey and Dustin's cousins so it's going to be an interesting family reunion for almost everyone since it's been a long time since they had a get together. Lots of drama, sparks fly between the friends and some say opposite attract with a bit of (Zogan argument) as they learn new things about each other especially when Logan finds out about Zoey's secret (Dum, dum, dum, dramatically spooking music coming thru)

Prologue

The gang were heading to the PCA parking lot talking among themselves excited for their upcoming camping trip with their chaperon Coco who's their ride since Mr. Bender or Dean Rivers couldn't join them since they'll be out of town with their families, so they asked Coco as their last choice but, she didn't need to know that.

"This is great," Lola replied grinning at this.

"Can't wait," Quinn excitedly says.

"I can hardly wait it's been so long since I been camping so it's good that we're going camping again," Zoey answered.

"Really that's weird," Michael began to say turning to Zoey who turned to him "Chase just told me that you just went camping a few summers ago Zoe?" he asked causing her to freeze in her spot.

Now why would she freeze up like that…? Well...that was half of a lie when she told Chase this, so she found herself in a difficult dilemma.

"Oh...that…well that was a few years ago so..." Zoey began to say causing Logan to raise his eyebrow at her tone of voice "I was only a kid then I was talking about the camping trip a few years ago before I met you guys yeah that's it," she explained.

"Oh really?" Logan began to say noticing her tone of voice "How long has it been since you been camping Brooks?" he asked.

She bites her bottom lip pretending to think when she went camping "Well I think I was only 5 years old or something when Dustin and I went on our last camping trip...we uh used to go there all the time every other summer that was when I turned 13 years old ...it was our last camping trip together with my cousins we used to do everything together all the time since our parents are siblings in my dad's side...speaking of my brother wasn't he supposed to be—" where she was cut off by a gust of wind courteously of her brother Dustin who just came out of nowhere he used his powers to freeze since they're not aware that their best friend has powers and hiding a big secret from them (a/n: in case you're wondering Zoey and Dustin are both not human—what supernatural creature are they? Fairies to be exact and not only that they can transform into a mermaid, communicate with animals, telepathy and Zoey has Dragon Fire powers which is a rare power that she inherited from her great, great, great grandmother from her dad's side)

"Hey Zoe…sorry I'm late," Dustin announced as he noticed that everyone in the PCA campus were frozen thanks to his ice powers and completely startled his older sister since they didn't seem him pass by them (a/n: *cough* Dustin powers are speed, teleportation, ice, freeze, telekinesis and physic)

"Dustin Alekander Jacob James Orion Brooks," Zoey scolded him by using his full name which Dustin winces at this "What are you doing, are you crazy you could've expose us like that what if…we got caught by someone huh," she explained.

"Awe Zoe do you really have to use my full name...we're fine it's not like the Trix can find this place since we're all the way in Earth besides we're safe here remember. Besides no one saw me move to fast since they're all frozen see," Dustin explained.

"Unfreeze them now," Zoey scolded him.

However, Dustin didn't listen as he was too busy trying to make weird faces at Logan as he usually tends to bully him in particular not because he's Zoey's little brother but, he's a big jerk towards Zoey and their friends.

"Dustin hello are you even listening to me unfreeze them now," Zoey scolded him with her hands on her hips as she's being serious.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah...after I do this..." Dustin began to say where he made a mustache on Logan's face which I had to admit it was kind of funny using a black marker "Hey look Zoe isn't this funny," he explained snickering at this.

"Dustin give me that marker," Zoey began to say where her brother Dustin gave her his scared horror look where she used her motherly tone "Now DUSTIN," she scolded him causing him to sigh in defeat passing her the marker.

"Fine, fine you're no fun..." Dustin mumbled under his breath.

"There's no fun in this Dustin even you know that," Zoey began to say who gave a sly grin "Not after I give him a little make over for being a jerk," she explained giving her brother a playfully wink causing him to laugh out loud.

"Ha, ha I knew it I knew you were had it in you Zoe. You always told me that he's always been a jerk to you," Dustin pointed out.

"Yeah well this is just my little revenge for being a jerk to me yesterday he ruined my date," Zoey replied.

Dustin blinked his eyes owlish "What date?"

"What do you mean what date. My date with Leo obviously,"

"How did Logan ruin it?"

"He pretty much stated that I was cheating on Chase with Leo when Chase and I aren't even dating..."

Dustin blankly stared at his sister for a long moment "Aren't you two dating though?"

"Who me and Chase no we're not dating,"

"But, I thought he—"

"No Dustin we're not dating,"

"But, I heard that Chase-"

"I know you did but, it's a false rumor since it's not true,"

"So what are you and Chase then if not a couple?"

"We're just best friends nothing more nothing less that's it,"

"So you don't have any feelings for him?"

"...No I don't,"

"Are you sure?"

"I'm quite positive I think I would know my own feelings if I had feelings for Chase you'd be the first person to tell,"

"I thought Lola and Quinn would be the first ones to tell though?"

"Not always…they don't even know my secret that I'm a royal princess or that I'm a fairy now do they?"

"You mean none of your friends know?"

"No we're not allowed to tell anyone remember,"

"Not even Jack?"

"Not even your best friend Jack,"

"But, he won't tell anyone?"

"Now how would he know—" Zoey paused for a moment looking at her brother "Dustin what did you do?"

"I didn't do anything in particular but, Jack may've saw me ...use my powers and transform into a male merman (mermaid form for guys) the other day..."

"...HE DID WHAT?!"

"Calm down Zoe, Jack knows the situation at hand and he hasn't said anything. He's the first person that I told, and I trust him. I even told mom and dad they agreed to let him know about it even our grandparents and our guards know this,"

"...and their okay with this?"

"Well yeah he's the only person who I told and he hasn't told anyone I promise,"

"And you can trust him with our secret,"

"Yes I trust him with my life Zoe please don't be upset it's not like I meant too but, Jack got curious and he got a bit suspicious whenever I make excuses from hanging out with him and he followed me one day and well...there you go,"

Zoey sighed at this "Well okay if you're sure and just for the record I'm not upset I was just surprised that's all. I mean none of my friends know about my secret not even Chase and I usually tell him everything but, with our situation we can't tell anyone else only our family and Jack knows okay that's it," she explained.

"What if your friends find out?"

"They won't..." Zoey began to say looking at her friends with a conflict look "Now unfreeze them before anyone sees okay," she explained.

"On it," Dustin replied.

Once he unfreeze everyone neither of them notice that Dustin just came out of nowhere they nearly jumped as Lola made a startled scream.

"Ahhhhh" Lola screamed.

"What's the matter?" Quinn worriedly says as she nearly jumped.

"Dustin where did you come from" Lola exclaimed dramatically where Dustin made a secret smile but, played it off.

"Eh I've been around..." Dustin answered.

Zoey who followed the conversation making it seem it was a normal between them "Dustin there you are I was just about to call you" she began to say as she gave a playfully glare 'That was a close one you do realize we're not supposed to expose ourselves with our powers like that kiddo what if someone really saw you or my friends for that long,' she thought to herself in telepathy causing Dustin to give a confuse look 'Just go along with it so they won't get suspicious,' which Dustin followed to nod without Logan's knowledge the mysterious fake mustache disappeared thanks to Zoey since she knew that how obsessive he can be when it comes with his look "You're supposed to meet us here 10 minutes ago where were you?" she explained.

"Sorry Zoe I would've been here sooner but, uh Jack's family bailed on him in the last minute so I invited him to join us I hope that's okay," Dustin explained turning to his best friend/roommate (a/n: Jack is the only person and human who knows about Zoey's & Dustin's secret since he was completely startled when Dustin transported into his room without using a door the old fashion way; it took a couple of weeks for Dustin to tell Jack the truth when they had a conversation by themselves alone where no one can see or hear them; at first Jack didn't believe Dustin for a second until Dustin told him what he was thinking after a few thoughts here and there—Jack then believed his best friend Dustin and believes him after telling him that their family secret is safe with him since he's pretty much good on keeping secrets much to Zoey's protest but, knew deep, deep down that Jack is trust worthy since he's pretty cool with her)

"Hey guys I hope you guys don't mind adding another person for the camping trip," Jack asked.

"Of course we don't mind Jack the more the merrier. You're welcome to come along and speaking of our camping trip we should get going like now or else we're going to miss Coco," Zoey answered grabbing her little brother by the arm with Jack following not far behind as she always babying her little brother, however Logan chuckled at the scene not noticing that Michael was staring at him weirdly then shrugged it off thinking it wasn't serious.

That's when Michael and Logan started to goof around by punching each other playfully on the shoulder where Stacy saw the group— who's a friend of Zoey's and the guys minus Logan who doesn't like her at all due to being obsessive love for him. It's a bit disturbing and creepy for most people but, wouldn't admit that out loud.

"What's up my peeps," Stacy greeted Zoey and her friends.

"Oh hey Stacy what's up," Zoey gave a smile trying to be nice but, Stacy interrupted her train of thought by cutting her off.

"Where are you guys heading too for semester break?" Stacy curiously asked.

"Well we—" Zoey began to say where she was cut off by Stacy once more.

"My parents are taking my sisters and I skiing to Steamboat Springs isn't that so cool," Stacy says despite how her speech is a bit …blur.

"Oh that's great," Quinn told her.

"Cool," Lola replied.

"Who cares what you do," Logan sarcastically says.

"Sounds like fun," Michael replied.

"Exciting," Mark replied.

"We're going camping," Zoey answered despite how Stacy interrupted her twice she wasn't going to let Stacy ruin her day to go camping with a small smile.

"Yeah Coco's taking us," Quinn replied.

"Up to Yosemite," Lola quickly added.

"Yikes...be careful out there guys Yosemite has a lot of wild bears," Stacy replied.

Michael however interrupted her by saying "Ah ha" turning to his friends where he continued to face them "See I told you there's a lot of wild bears in Yosemite and what ya'll say" as he made a girly voice "Oh no Michael there's no wild bears in Yosemite that's just crazy talk," then quickly added "We're going to be just fine safe inside our tents as long as we don't bring our food outside in the open since bears can smell food from a hundred miles," then added Logan's cocky voice "Dude there's no way bears would be in Yosemite since we're going to be near the lake by the time we get there," he explained as his friends blankly stare at him.

Before anyone can answer who winced slightly not believing him until they were interrupted by someone crying (a/n: *cough* hmm I wonder who that could be—Coco—who's currently crying due to the fact she's been doing that a lot whenever she and her boyfriend Carl got into a huge fight or break up) so they turned around from the sound of her wailing.

"Um...I think that's Coco," Zoey answered squinting her eyes in a distance.

Quinn who also squinted noticing Coco crying "Uh oh," she says as the girls know that their dorm advisor as Coco continued to cry passing Zoey and her friends plus Stacy but, of course neither Zoey nor her friends aren't close with her but, they're sort of friends.

"Coco why are you—" Zoey began to say as they were about to go after their chaperone Coco to check on her who's currently crying then turned to Stacy "See you later Stacy…we uh— kind of have to go now have fun with your semester break through with your family okay," she explained giving a small wave.

"I will and be careful with the bears in Yosemite," Stacy hollered after her waiting by the curb to wait for her parents and her sisters who are going to accompany her.

"Uh sure whatever," Zoey replied running after Coco with her friends followed not far behind "Um Coco," once again she gets interrupted by someone.

"I can't go camping with you guys...leave me alone," Coco explained closing the van doors even though it wasn't closed all the way because she kept banging the door wrong.

"Okay what do you mean you can't go camping with us you're our ride and our chaperone," Lola dramatically replied.

"Lola," Quinn scolded her quietly who in return rolled her eyes.

"So...what's the problem?" Zoey asked ignoring her two roommates and best friends.

"I thought Carl my boyfriend might be cheating on me?" Cocoa explained leaving Zoey and her friends groaned minus Mark who has no emotion baggage. He's pretty much non emotional (a/n: I still don't understand why or how Quinn can be attractive to him though...oh well)…

"Ugh!?"

"Awe man...not this again," Everyone answered grumbling under their breaths.

"So what happen?"

"So I went to his house and climbed onto his tree in his front yard to wait for him to come home right," Coco began to say explaining the situation at hand ignoring their comments.

"Of course,"

"Makes sense," Zoey and her friends nodding at this listening to her story once more.

"And I thought he was going to bring another girl which he did—but, it-it wasn't just another girl, it was his mother," Coco cried continued her story.

"Okay...well that's—that's good isn't it now you know that Carl isn't cheating on you" Logan pointed out which he made it worst instead of calming her down which Zoey smacked him on the head "Ow what was that for,"

"For being an insensitive jerk can't you see she's still upset honestly," Zoey scolding him causing Logan to stare at her with a blank look "You really need to be more sensitive towards girls feelings that includes Coco's" she explain.

Logan was about to open his mouth but, Michael covered his mouth not wanting them to argue again. There was enough arguing between those two and wasn't going to have them ruin their mini vacation.

"Ignore him so what happen after?" Zoey asked Coco gently.

"Nooo it didn't because it made things worse because the tree branch that I was sitting on broke and I fell on top of Carl's mother," Coco answered.

"Oh my gosh," Lola gasp at Cocoa.

"Was she hurt?" Zoey asked.

"Is she going to be okay?" Quinn worriedly asked.

"I don't know Carl says she has a fractured neck with three broken ribs in her left side and a broken leg or something," Cocoa answered as she shrugged her shoulders almost like she didn't care about that.

"Okay…." Michael slowly nods at this.

"So what happen afterwards," Mark spoke up in his boredom talk.

"He called me a crazy lunatic and broke up with me so I have to go to Fresco to fix things so he would be able to forgive me so I can't take you guys camping," Cocoa explained when she finally shut the door went to the driver's seat and drove away where one of her luggage dropped full of ravioli and chicken with her undergarments.

"You can't just leave us here in PCA!" Quinn yelled after Cocoa.

"It's our semester break we're supposed to be having fun after taking those hard exams in PCA! COCOA GET BACK HERE!" Lola exclaimed.

"So now what do we do? This is before Logan and I get a new roommate next semester," Michael complained.

"Ugh don't remind me! We just lost our ride and now thanks to Cocoa we're stuck here in PCA!" Logan complained back.

"Well...at least we don't have to go camping," Mark spoke up causing everyone to glare at him.

Quinn shook her head shushing her boyfriend "Baby just...don't talk okay," she says as Mark shrug his shoulders.

Zoey's P.O.V.

I bit my bottom lip looking at my brother and Jack when he answered me thru our thoughts.

*telepathy*

"Do you want me to grab Eli and Yukiya if they can take us camping Zoe?" Dustin asked.

"Nah there's no need to do that we have a change of plans kiddo we're going to Lake Tahoe instead just give them the heads up and I'll take care of the guys from here okay," I told him.

"But, I thought we're going to camping not Lake Tahoe," Dustin asked all confuse.

"We were but, thanks to Coco it got cancelled which is why I got us a backup plan in case this were going to happen. It just happen to be last minute anyway thanks to Coco so you might as well tell them that we're going to South Lake Tahoe where our cousins and their friend should be over there waiting for us at the cabin," I explained.

"I thought you told Hanna who told Hayley, Liv, Maddie and Mio that we're not going to the family reunion Zoe?" Dustin asked.

"Like I said change of plans thanks to Coco we can go to Lake Tahoe," I told him.

Dustin got so confuse and then realized that the plan came from confusion into excitement less than 5 seconds.

"How come I didn't know about this plan until now I mean we didn't have time to repack everything since it's last-minute Zoe," Dustin asked.

"Don't worry about us repacking. I already told Elias and Yukiya to pack for us in case our ride cancelled on us," I explained.

"Really does that mean you knew this would happen?" Dustin began to say as I nodded at this "How did you managed to do that quickly though I mean did you know that Coco was gonna cancel and bail on us Zoe?" he explained.

"Well no that wasn't part of the plan kiddo but, with Coco I wouldn't be surprised her relationship with Carl happens more than I can count that I lost track on how many times they broke up and make up all the time it tends to get really tiring," I explained.

"But, you don't have the keys to Logan and Michael's dorm room it's only for the guys Zoe?" Dustin asked.

"You let me take care of that okay while you and Jack pack quickly and don't let anyone see you okay," I winked at my brother Dustin who grinned as he grabbed Jack by the arm "We'll meet you guys in 20 minutes," he explained.

~*~End of Prologue~*~

Whoooooooo I finally finished the introduction. I know it's been a long time since I wrote this story but, this is just the beginning of Zogan love journey.
