A/N: I'm glad you all enjoyed Michael's chips being stolen. I figured it would give a few laughs. Besides, I couldn't let Zoey find out just yet, you have to wait a few more chapters for that. Also, soon I am going to do a big update. Meaning possibly 2-4 chapters entered in at the same time. Won't that be fun? Anyway, we last left off with Zoey, crying (1 tear!) in a bathroom. Let's watch what happens next shall we?

Disclaimer: See chapter 1

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

Zoey just stood where she was, thinking about Chase, and how he had yelled at her. She went to a stall door, opening it, and went inside, forgetting the fact that she was still inside a guy's restroom. She put both lids on the toilet down after locking the stall door, and sat. (A/N: Please note, she is sitting, not going to the bathroom. Thank you) Zoey covered her face in her hands, and started to cry a little.

The Boys' Room

Chase opened the door to his room, and saw Michael was sitting on his bed.

"You better not be in here to take my chips again." Michael warned him, as Chase went to his own bed.

"Look, I'm just not in the mood right now, alright?" Chase told him.

"Now what is it?" he asked.

Chase sighed, "I just yelled at Zoey. I feel horrible about it." He punched his pillow.

Michael put aside his chips and got up. "Well what happened? That's not like you to yell, especially at Zoey."

"Well, apparently, Logan can't keep quiet. And he told Zoey that I was in the bathroom, after I asked him to not tell her. And so, she came in, and trapped me in a corner. Basically, she asked me why I have been acting "so strange", and that–" Michael cut him off.

"It's true, you have been acting weird." he told him.

"Have not!" Chase argued back.

"Yes you have!"

"I have not! Now, back to what I was saying..." Chase said, trying to end the small argument. "So anyway, I asked her if she has looked at her tekmate recently, but she said it was broken."

"Okay..." Michael said as he nodded.

"She told me Quinn is working on it right now, so it should be working again soon. I just told Zoey that when it's working again, that she can read that text message I sent her yesterday, and that it would explain everything."

"So where does you yelling come into play?" he asked, a little confused.

Chase looked down at the floor, still ashamed of what he had done. "Well, she didn't want to read it, she wanted me to tell her." Chase paused. "And I guess I got a little angry, and it got the best of me. Then I left and came here." Michael kept quiet, while Chase looked over at the clock. It wasn't even noon yet.

Later that night, at the girls' room.

Nicole entered the room. She had just gotten back from Sushi Rox. "Oh man, there were soooo many cute guys at Sushi Rox tonight. I'm soooo glad I went."

Lola looked up at her as Nicole slipped her shoes off. "Where's Zoey?"

"Isn't she in here?" Nicole questioned.

"No. I thought she was with you this whole time."

"I thought she was here!" Nicole said, starting to worry a little. "It's getting a little late. Maybe we should go look for her."

"She's a big girl, she can get back here on her own." Insisted Lola, since she did not feel like leaving the dorm.

"Okay, well I'm going to go look for her. She's not usually out so late." Nicole put her shoes back on and left the room. Except I have no idea where to look. I'll go ask the guys. Maybe they can help. With that, she headed down to the boy's dorms.

The Boys' Room

In the room, the guys were doing there usual late night activities. Chase was on his bed, lost in thought, while Michael ate his healthy chips. Logan, of course, was talking to himself in the mirror. When the door knocked, Michael got up to answer it. The door opened to see a worried looking Nicole. "Hey Nicole. Is something wrong?"

"Yes," she answered, " I haven't see Zoey all day. And she's not back at our room. And she's usually not one to be late. Have you guys seen her?"

"Maybe she's been trying to sneak into our room so that she could see me." Logan boasted proudly.

Michael threw a pillow at him. "Your so full of yourself. No, we haven't see her either."

"Maybe she got lost somewhere." Nicole said, looking sad. Michael gave Chase a look. Chase got up and went over to Nicole.

"Nicole, I'll go look for her, you go back to your room. I'll send her there when I find her."

"No! I'm coming with you. She's my friend too." But Chase wouldn't let her go. He had to go by himself.

Finally after five minutes of arguing, Nicole let Chase go alone, and she started to walk back to her dorm. But she stopped at the corner and looked back. She saw Chase walking in the opposite direction. Nicole turned around and followed him. When he arrived at the bathroom door, he stopped to take a deep breath. Nicole quietly ran up to the door and opened it a crack, so she could listen. "Zoey?" she heard him call. Why would Zoey be in the boy's restroom? But her thoughts were cut short when she heard Zoey's voice.

"What do you want Chase?" she asked slowly.

"Have you been in here all day?" Chase asked, feeling guilty.

Zoey just sniffled. Chase was carefully opening each stall door until he hit the last one, which was still locked.

"Look Zoe, I'm sorry. I really didn't mean to yell at you like that. I just, sorta...lost it. So can you come out here?"

Nicole almost gasped out loud, shocked to hear Chase yelled at Zoey, but covered her mouth in time.

"Well it's not just that," Zoey started telling Chase, "it's also the fact that you don't trust me. Why else would you hide that from me?" She unlocked the stall door and opened it.

"I told you, you can find out everything when you read that message I sent you." Chase told her.

"But what if she can't fix it, are you just going to not tell me?"

Chase held his breath for a moment, and finally let it out. "If she can't fix it, I'll tell you."

"Promise?" she asked, looking into his eyes.

"Yes." Chase assured her. And she went in to hug him. Chase could smell the shampoo off her hair. "You should head back to your dorm now, your roommates are worried about you."

Nicole took that as her cue to leave, and quickly headed to her room, thinking about what she had just overheard.

Chase walked Zoey outside, and waved goodnight. He headed back to his room and saw his roommates were both asleep. He slipped into bed, and fell asleep almost instantly.

A/N: Alright then, I had a little trouble writing this one. Couldn't think of what to write next about halfway through. Would you say I maybe made Zoey a bit too emotional in this chapter? I mean, sitting on a toilet all day... But I didn't know what to write. But it all fits into my story somehow. Also, did anyone else but me notice, that on the end of the Spring Break-Up episode, when they showed the cast of Gender Defenders, that it didn't show Nicole? Because it never did. Anyway, click that review button, and write me something! You know you want to.
