A/N: Well it's been a week. The year changed and it's Saturday and it's time for another update. But, with the way this story is going, I have a lot of chapters planned. I'm sure you the reader wouldn't want to wait a week every week to read one chapter. So as author and controller of the story, I'll be updating twice a week, once on Saturday and once on Wednesday. There's gonna be a lot of chapters. I have eight written. If we waited a week for every chapter that'd be two months and not even at the food stuff. I know you're thanking me.

Rated T for language and some slight sexual references. Biweekly updates! All non-canon Zombies have been named by unusual-ly!

It wasn't just shamelessly flirting with every person he encountered anymore. Bucky had to be into him. Zach was convinced there was something there—no matter how small. And even if it was small, he could turn the spark into a full out blaze. Metaphorically, of course. Fire and Zombies do not mix.

Zach brought up a tray of breakfast which made Bucky stir awake. It was mostly Zombie food but he was pretty sure could eat their food. Luckily, Bucky was hungry enough that he ate it without question. And another good thing was that the house was empty so no one could pester Bucky.

Before Zach could strike up a conversation or anything, there was a knocking at his door. When he opened it, Zed and his human girlfriend (he already forgot her name) were standing on the other side.

"Hey Zach," Zed greeted. "Is Bucky still here?"

Zach nodded with a grin. "He's just finishing up breakfast. I was actually—"

Zed's girlfriend shook her head. "Sorry, his mom has been texting me all morning and if I get one more text from this woman I will literally punch the closest person in the throat," she stated.

"She's not joking," Zed said. "Someone lost their marbles after we realized we had lost Bucky last night."

Zach nodded. "Yeah okay. Just…I'll go get him."

He leaned the door closed and moved back to the kitchen, where Bucky was on his phone scowling at the screen. He looked up when Zach came in. "My cheerleaders are literally the dumbest people on the planet," he said with an eye roll. "They do stupid shit all the time and now I've got six out of commission and I need to redo my whole routine again!"

"Your cousin is waiting for you," Zach stated. He sighed and leaned against the chair. "She's a little feisty and wants you there now. Shame you must go."

"What a shame," Bucky said uncaringly. He stood up and moved to the door. "I have to do a whole routine. See you around, man."

"Oh, okay."

Zach walked Bucky to the door. He had to fight the urge to prolong the cheerleader's stay with questions or maybe just grabbing him and looking the door.

"Thanks for keeping him from dying," Bucky's cousin said once she saw him. "See ya."

"Yeah, see you," Zach said.

After leaving Zach's and then Zed's, Bucky made sure to take his cousin out to some lunch before they made their way to the school gym. He bought her McDonald's, because both of them were hungover and exhausted and in need of a little comfort food.

"So you and Zach."

Bucky groaned and shoved more fries into his mouth. "So nothing," he said around his food. "Nothing happened."

Addison raised an eyebrow. "You were in his house. Hell, I bet you were in his room too? You were in his bed too, huh?"

"Shut up," Bucky groaned. "I didn't do anything with him!"

Addison grinned and said, "I saw you guys making out last night."

Bucky blushed a bright red. Still, he wasn't going to give into Addison's teasing. "When did you see that? Before or after you finished screwing your boyfriend in public?"

"Har har," Addison said with an eye roll. "I'm just happy you're finally finding romance, cuz."

"I was drunk and I made out with a guy, that means nothing." Bucky stated. "I'm not you. I don't go around hooking up with Zombies. Gross."

"Drive the car before I punch you."

"Let me finish my lunch you dweeb!"

"You're literally five years old," Addison stated. "You have a crush and you called me a dweeb, like a baby!"

"I don't have a crush!" Bucky snapped. "If I had a crush I wouldn't have left! I would've…would've drawn out hanging with him. Zombies are disgusting, dead-eyed freaks."

Addison gave him a look and he shrugged. "Just because I'm fine with them doesn't mean I like them," he said.

"And yet, I seem to remember a Zombie with his hands under your shirt," Addison said. She stroked her chin and pretended to think. "Or was it his hands in your pants?"

Bucky turned on the engine and put the volume on blast, promptly ending the conversation. She would have to tell Zed about this, see what he thought of everything.

Band practice after a gig meant spending a third of the time actually practicing and the rest hanging out. Alonzo was only cool with it because they had just crushed the gig the day before. They were all just chilling, laying around the room having casually pointless conversations.

"So…" Alonzo drew out. "Zach."

"Yes?"

"Any new developments? In life, or maybe, I dunno, romance?"

Zach chuckled. "Same answer as everyday. Why do you ask?"

"Because we all saw you making out with Bucky last night," Zeph stated. "Very slick, might I add. Openly groping each other at a huge party and expecting no one to know who you were."

"He's very toned," Zach said cheekily. "A very cute drunk."

"What does that even mean?"

"He's very cute when he's drunk," Zach said. "And also when he's sober. Not so much when he's vomiting though."

"Aw! Zach's gotta crush!"

Zach couldn't help but roll his eyes. "So what if I do? Bucky hates Zombies."

"That's impossible," Zeph stated. "He was all over you—"

"He was drunk. So drop it guys." Zach wasn't usually serious, so his friends knew when it mattered. Like now, his friends could tell he was serious and a little upset.

They weren't gonna push it. Well, except Al, who just had one more question. "What would even attract you to Bucky? I mean, he's so mean and so…perfect."

"I'll have you know he's just my type," Zach said defensively.

All his friends stopped and have him odd looks. "You have a type?" Roz asked.

'I do now.' Zach thought. Instead of saying anything, he just shook his head and said, "We dropped this topic already. Let's get back to work."

After cheer practice had ended, Addison and Bree drove back to Zombietown. They were going to meet up with Zed, Eliza, and Bonzo and grab dinner in Seabrook. While Bree was driving, she asked Addison, "What took you and Bucky so long today?"

"Bucky was with this Zombie last night," Addison explained. "Though he keeps denying anything happened."

"Bucky was with a Zombie?"

Addison nodded. "They we're together at the Mash last night too," she added. "And Zach—the Zombie he was with—took him home and took care of him until I got there this morning."

Bree gasped excitedly. "Aw! Bucky deserves to be happy!"

"I agree. Except he's Bucky and refuses to acknowledge Zach or any of the stuff that happened."

"So I guess it's up to us to get him and Zach together?"

Addison nodded. "We should probably consult Zach's friends."

"Zach's the one in the band, right? Because if he's who I think he is then he and Bucky would be so cute together! And we could probably get Roz to help us. She's dating Kiera."

Addison grinned. "I love scheming with you, Bree."

Luckily for Addison, there was minimal scheming needed.

Addison found out that Zephyr—who plays guitar in Bowling for Zoup—also plays football with Zed. She got his number through Zed and Roz's number from Kiera the only other person she knew who was constantly around Zach was Alonzo, whose number she got from Bonzo.

Addison: Hi! This is Addison! I'm texting you guys on important business that I think you'd like to be apart of!

Roz: Hi Addison what's this important business?

Addison: I don't know if you guys saw but your friend Zach was making out with my cousin. And I don't know about Zach but I know that Bucky is a stubborn baby and won't admit to ever having any feelings for anyone, especially not a Zombie. Which is why he needs me to set him up, and I think that Zach will be a good match. If you guys disagree, just let me know and I'll drop it. If you guys are free right now, we could meet up to talk in person.

Alonzo: We're not to far. You can come to us since we're all at my place. z124a. Street behind Zed's

Addison: Okay I'm on my way!

Zed walked Addison to Alonzo's house. When she asked why he said he didn't want her walking around Zombietown alone, and that he was certain she would get lost. He was right, considering she nearly made several wrong turns even with him at her side. He also wanted to know why she was meeting with three out of the four members of Bowling for Zoup, which she wouldn't tell him until she was with them.

To her surprise, all four of them were there. They were practicing and could be heard from outside. Addison had to call Alonzo to open the door when they got there.

"So you guys were texting about me?" Zach asked.

Addison nodded. She couldn't help but smile at the thought of him with Bucky. "I personally think you and Bucky are a perfect match."

Zed furrowed his brows and looked at his girlfriend with a confused look. "You want to set up Zach and Bucky?"

Zephyr pointed at Zed and asked, "You didn't know? I thought you on top of all of Addison's schemes?"

"I don't scheme," Addison argued.

"You definitely scheme," Zed stated.

Addison rolled her eyes at them. "I don't and if I do it's to set up perfect matches! I haven't failed yet! Remember Christmas?"

Zed gaped at her. "What the hell? That was me, not you."

"Sweetie, we've reached the stage where all your schemes are mine and all my schemes are yours."

"You are insane."

"You love me," Addison said with a grin. She then turned her attention back BFZ. "But aside from Christmas, I've also set up a bunch of cheerleaders with other cheerleaders or their crushes who aren't cheerleaders. Every couple I've set up has been a near perfect match."

"Near perfect?" Alonzo asked.

"Someone's toeing the line," she said pointedly, shooting a look at Zed. "But anyway, you should trust that I know a good couple when I see one. Like Alonzo and Zephyr. Not something I set up but hell you guys are as cute as—as something. And Roz, you and Kiera!"

"Don't lose your train of thought," Zed warned her.

"I won't," Addison said. "I wanna set you guys up! What do you think of that, Zach?"

All eyes were on the Zombie in question. Zach glanced around, suddenly feeling intimidated (which he usually wasn't). He laughed nervously. "I'm all for romance and all, but Bucky—"

"Bucky's stubborn and stupid and doesn't know what he wants in life," Addison interrupted. Everyone jumped slightly at her aggression. Addison groaned and shook her head. "If you want this, I'm on your side. But…I won't force you into something you don't want."

"I…I need to think about this," Zach said.

Addison held her hands up and stepped back. "Okay. Fair enough. I just think instead of flirting with every person that you see you could settle with someone—Bucky."

"I don't flirt with everyone."

Zach was shut down immediately by everyone in the room. "Yes you do."

"Dude, she's offering to set you up," Alonzo said. "This is a golden opportunity."

"When have you been afraid to put yourself out there anyway?" Roz asked.

Zach frowned and slouched back against his chair. Alonzo leaned forward and said to him, "What's the worst that could happen? Rejection? You've faced that before."

"If you guys are trying to make me feel happy it's not working."

"That's definitely not what we're doing," Zephyr stated with a laugh. "We want you to consider her offer because you're not getting many others."

"I think you mean any."

"You guys!"

His friends laughed at his expense. "We tease you because we love you," Alonzo told him.

Zach just folded his arms and pouted. Everyone stayed quiet while he thought over Addison's offer. He raised an eyebrow and asked, "You really think he's into me?"

Addison nodded. "Then, yeah. Yeah that sounds awesome."
