"Three, two, one," Ashton counted down.

"Shit!" Zack yelled from upstairs. He came running down the stairs while still getting dressed. "Shit! Shit! Shit! Gonna be late!" He said running into the kitchen and grabbed a slice of bread and put it in the toaster. "Come on, come on, come on," He said tapping his foot.

"Hey dweeb where's the fire?" Ashton asked.

"I'm gonna be late for school it's already," He looked up at the clock. "Seven-thirty?" He said in confusion before his eyes went wide in realization. "I forgot," He said turning around.

"Went back an hour." Ashton said before he kept eating. Zack sighed and sat down.

"Well, now I feel like an idiot." Zack admitted.

"That's ok bro, you are." Ashton told him.

"Ass," He said with a laugh. After they finished eating, Zack grabbed his stuff and made his way for the door.

"Aren't you forgetting something?" Ashton asked as Zack was about to leave. Zack turned around and saw his brother holding a pair of tickets in his hands.

"Right," He said taking them and leaving.


He was walking down the street with his ear buds in, listening to Journey when Freddy skated in front of him and did a little trick on his board before he jumped off. "Hey," He said taking his ear buds out.

"Hey Babe," Freddy said with a smug smile before they leaned in and kissed. "You look tired as shit." He said as they joined hands and continued to walk.

"Yeah, I was in a hurry this morning. Thought I overslept."

"You're gonna freak we jumped ahead an hour." He said with a laugh.

"Hey, you know, we haven't really gone out in awhile."

"Yeah?" Freddy asked getting excited.

"So, I was thinking, if you're not busy this weekend," He said pulling the tickets out of his pocket.

"No way!" Freddy grabbed them. "You got tickets to see the Hex Girls!? Do you have any idea how impossible these are to get?"

"So, you wanna go then?" Zack asked, with a smile.

"Are you serious? Yes!" He said jumping up and down. "This is amazing! How did you even get these?"

"You could say I know a guy."


As they arrived at the school they saw Billy walking in through the front doors. "He's back!" Zack said as he ran ahead to go see him. "Hey Billy!" He shouted, Billy turned around looking like he was in serious need of sleep, but his energy immediately changed when he saw Zack.

"Hey hey hey, how's you Romeo and Julio story playing out?"

"Uh, it's fine. Look, are you alright dude? You look tired as Hell."

"Art never rests Zack, I can't afford to let it get too ahead of me. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to get interrogated by Gordon. Catch you later." He said before walking off.


As Billy turned the corner he saw Summer walking down the hall with a worried expression on her face. "Sum? What's wrong?"

"What? Oh, nothing. I just...have alot on my mind right now." She said walking past him.

"Ok, that was weird." He said continuing toward his class.

Summer entered Chiaki's class to find she was the first one there. "Late start today?" She asked.

"You're just hear early." He told her. "But then again, you're always early." He followed up.

"It's part of what makes me perfect." She said with a chipper smile.

"Perfect?" He asked.

"Of course. I always aim to be perfect." She said with a smug grin.

"I see," He commented.

"If you have something to say, just say it." She said, getting annoyed.

"Oh, it's nothing. I just think having to be perfect all the time wouldn't be perfect on the inside." Summer's faced dropped a bit. "But what would I know?" He asked as other students bean to enter the classroom.


Zack was in his class nodding off when Leonard poked his back. He yawned and turned around. "What's up?" He asked.

"Did you see Summer this morning?" Leonard asked, a bit off-put.

"No, did something happen?" He asked.

"I'm not sure, but I feel like she's been avoiding me since the night after the Halloween concert." He confessed.

"Why? Did something happen after the concert?" Zack asked.

"Well yeah, the same thing that always happens after a victory for either of us; she comes over to my house and-"

"You really don't need to finish that sentence, I get it."

"If you see her, could you tell her I'm looking for her?"

"Definitely." Zack told him.


At lunch, Summer was sitting alone in the usual spot where Freddy and Zack sit when they want to be alone. "Ok, calm down. Breath. Just face Leo, and tell him the truth, that you're-"

"Oh hey," She turned and saw Zack and Freddy facing her. "Leonard's been looking for you." Zack told her.

"I'll go get him," Freddy said running off.

"Wait don't," She said before Freddy got a chance to leave.

"I don't know if I can talk to him yet." She admitted.

"Why not?" Zack asked.

"Because...because….Freddy, could you…?" She asked nudging her head back the way they came.

"Uh, sure." He said walking back.

"*Grab Leonard,*" Zack whispered to him.

"*Right,*" Freddy said walking away.

"So what's wrong?" Zack asked, sitting down.

"Well, after the Halloween concert, Leonard and I-"

"He told me this morning, you don't need to elaborate. In fact, don't." Zack told her.

"Well, we ran into a sort of a problem." She said looking down.

"What's that?"

"Zack, I'm late."

"Huh?"

"You know…late…"

"I live in a house with one woman, you're gonna have to be more obvious." He told her.

"My period Zack! I'm late! I think...Leonard may have...gotten me pregnant." She muttered.

"Oh…oh man," He said with his eyes wide.

"What am I gonna do? I'm only fourteen, and what if my parents find out? Then what'll I do? How am I going to tell them that their perfect daughter got pregnant before she graduated college?"

"Well hey, they'll be made at first sure, but I'm sure they'll still love you."

"Zack, that isn't the problem. I need to be perfect, everything I do has to be perfect!"

"Summer hey, calm down. You need to relax. Just breath."

"You're right. I just gotta breath." She took a deep breath. "Just gotta relax and-"

"Summer! There you are! I've been looking all over for you. What happened?" Leonard asked coming around the corner.

"Zack!" She yelled.

"You're welcome," He said, leaving the scene.

"Summer, are you ok? Did I do something wrong? Come on, please talk to me." Leonard said, holding her hands.

"Leonard, I think we've had too much fun together."

"W-what do you mean?" He said getting worried. This sounds like a breakup speech. Please let it be anything else.

"Leonard, I think I'm pregnant." She said quietly. Anything but that!

"Are you sure?" He asked, moving one of his hands to her shoulder.

"Definitely a possibility." She said resting her head on his shoulder. "How am I going tell my mom and dad?" She asked.

"Don't," He told her. She looked up at him confused. "I'll do it."

"Are you sure Baby?"

"It's my fault mostly, I'll take full responsibility for this."

"Alright. Let me take pregnancy test first. I don't want you to say anything before we know for sure."


"So, what's up with them?" Freddy asked.

"I'm not sure if Summer would want me to tell." Zack replied.

"Oh," Freddy sighed. "That's alright. If she doesn't want it to spread around, then it's a good idea that I don't know what's going on. I hope everything works out though." He said with a smile.

"Hey, she's our manager. If she can handle all of us, she can handle anything." Zack said with a laugh.


Later after school, Leonard was at his house waiting outside his bathroom for Summer to come out. Hoping. Praying to every God he could think of that Summer wasn't carrying a child. He heard the door open and Summer walk out, her face hard to read. "So, are you...?"

"Not pregnant," She said with a smile. Leonard let out a long sigh of relief.

"Thank God! I was so worried." He said.

"I can't even imagine what my parent's reactions would've been." She said as the two embraced in a hug.

"Hey, Sum?" Leonard asked.

"Yeah, Baby?"

"Let's not have sex for awhile." He said.

"Deal." She said leaning up to kiss him.


"Wow, so Summer thought she was pregnant?" Katie asked as their group sat together at lunch the next day.

"Yeah, her and Leonard have been at it for awhile, but this was the first time they've had a pregnancy scare." Zack explained.

"Well, that'll teach I guess." Gordon commented.

"Are you ever not an asshole?" Tomika asked.

"Why mess with the status quo?" He asked sarcastically.

"Well, I for one am glad it's over." Frankie said to which everyone agreed.

"Are you ready for tonight?" Zack asked Freddy, who was resting his head on his shoulder.

"So ready, Babe." Freddy said looking up as he and Zack began to kiss.

"You guys are so happy, it's gross." Lawrence said.

"Don't be jealous." Zack sang, mocking him.

"Don't worry, I'm not. I'm not really looking for a relationship anyways." He told them. Tomika looked slightly disappointed and kept eating slowly fading out of the conversation.
