A/N: Wow, 5th chapter already. Not bad, eh? I'm almost at the point of my big update, probably 1 or 2 more chapters and I will.

To Frog Disease: Yeah, I guess I do update a lot. I like writing in it. It's fun to see what you guys all think too.

To GUCIGIRL: Yes, that's what I do. Except the part about writing them on small cards. I just think it out through my head before I start typing.

To Stargazing Maiden: I'm not entirely sure what your asking. "How did I start writing?" Could you explain what you mean? And yeah, I'm a guy. I guess, if what you said is true, then most, maybe all, of my reviewers are girls then?

To MuSiC-iS-LyFe-101: Yeah, she doesn't seem like the type to do that. But it's my story, so she does. :P

To Lulu Guinness: I know, I'm making them long. And just so you know, it's not 1 scroll of the mouse. It's more like, 5...or 4(unless your screen resolution is pretty big, then that changes it) I don't like the small no scroll chapters either. :)

Nicole rushed through the halls to quickly get to her room. When she finally reached the door she went inside. "Zoey's coming. Pretend like I've been here the whole time." She told Lola.

Lola was really confused. "Why?"

Nicole was slightly out of breath. "I'll tell you later. That is, if Zoey doesn't tell us when she gets here." Just as she finished the sentence, the door opened, and Zoey walked inside. "Oh, hey Zoe!" Nicole greeted her, trying to sound perky.

"Where have you been all day?" Lola asked her, as Zoey walked from the door to her bed.

"Uh..." Zoey started, but paused to think. Should I really do it...? "Sorry, I was just taking a long walk. And I lost track of the time." Zoey didn't look at either of them as she said this. She felt a knot in her stomach.

Nicole frowned at her. I can't believe Zoey just lied. Zoey hopped into bed and didn't say another word.

The Next Afternoon

Quinn heard a knock on her door. She opened it and saw Zoey standing there. "Hello Zoey. Can I help you with something?"

"Hi Quinn. I was just wondering...if you managed to fix my tekmate yet. There's something I need it for." She asked her, walking inside Quinn's laboratory of a room.

"Well, I have good news, and bad news." Quinn told her. "The bad news is it's not done just yet. The good news is, it shouldn't take that much longer to fix it. I found one of my old quinnventions, and it's speeding up the process to repair it. It should be ready by tomorrow, maybe even tonight, I'm not sure."

"But it was just water. How could it take so long?" Zoey asked, just wanting to get her hands on the tekmate.

"You'd be surprised at what water can do." Quinn said, returning to her work.

Zoey sighed, and left the room.

The Boys' Room

"Michael..." Chase started, after Logan left to take a shower. "Look, Zoey is going to find out I love her really soon. So– so could you not tell her?"

"Alright, I'll trust you for that. But she has till next week to find out, or I WILL tell her myself." Michael answered, with a sly smile on his face.

"Gee, thanks." Chase said, rolling his eyes.

The Girls' Room

"So..." Lola said to Nicole, while Zoey was still at Quinn's. "What exactly was up last night? I went along with what you wanted me to do, but I don't get it."

"Well...you remember where Zoey 'said' she was?" Nicole asked her, not really sure herself.

"Yeah, she said she was walking." answered Lola.

"Well she wasn't. That was a lie." Lola's jaw dropped slightly. "She was in the bathroom at the boy's dorm all day."

"Okay, eww!" Lola shouted. Nicole agreed with her. "Why was she there?"

"Well, I followed Chase to the bathroom, and that's where she was. I kept the door open a crack to listen. I found out that Chase yelled at her, so she locked herself up in the bathroom all day." Nicole thought if she should tell Lola what she heard about the tekmate, but decided against it. "And that was it..."

Lola wasn't sure if she believed her, but agreed anyway.

In Dustin's room, few hours later

Dustin was knocked out cold after the extra energy given to him by Quinn's new energy drink, 'Frazz' wore out. He had been out for over 24 hours. But now, he has woken up. He opened his eyes and saw it was dark, really dark.. He wondered where he was. As he sat upright, he saw the light return, and found the darkness was just his bed covers over his head. He got up and changed and went to go find Zoey, his big sister.

He found Zoey sitting at a table with Nicole and Lola, with Nicole chattering about some guy she saw awhile ago. He noticed Zoey was being unusually quiet, and walked over.

"Hey kiddo, your finally up now." Zoey said, seeing Dustin up now.

"Yeah little guy, you were out pretty good." Nicole said quickly.

"Yep, you've been asleep for 6 months." Lola smiled.

Dustin's eyes went wide, "6 months?"

"Lola! Don't scare the boy. Dustin, you were only out for a day." Zoey assured him.

"I'm sorry, I couldn't resist. It was another chance for me to act." she said told her, laughing.

"So have I missed anything?" Dustin asked his sister.

"No...you haven't missed anything." Zoey told him.

As Dustin walked away, Nicole's tekmate beeped. She opened it up and looked at it. "Zoey...Quinn wants to see you." Zoey immediately got up and ran off to Quinn's.

Quinn's door knocked and she went to open it. "Hey Zoey. I finally fixed it for you. Sorry it took so long."

"That's alright," Zoey thanked her, "Thanks a lot Quinn. I'm glad it's fixed now."

"No problem. You know, I actually would have called you sooner. I sent you a text message to come pick it up, but about 10 minutes later, I realized that weren't coming. Since I still had the tekmate, you couldn't have gotten the message. So I sent another one to Nicole. So you'll probably have a message on there from me. You can just ignore it."

"Alright. Thanks again Quinn. I'll see you later." Zoey said as she waved good bye. She was eager to read the message Chase told her about, and finally see what all this craziness had been about. She ran to room where she knew she would have some privacy. When she reached the room, she went over to her bed and sat. She took a deep breath and turned it on. It works! She thought with a smile. When it loaded she saw she had 2 new messages. She first opened the one from Quinn and erased it.

The next message said it was from Chase. She looked at it for a moment, took another breath, and opened it.

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

A/N: Ooooh! Cliffhanger! Am I evil or what:) So, wonder what's going to happen next. Is Zoey going to finally read the message? And what about Nicole, she knows more then everyone else thinks. I would have written more, but it was too good of a spot to keep going. You know the drill, click that review button. I command you! And I'm sure some of you will think, "Wow! Two updates in one day! He's good!" But I'll just tell you now, the chapter 4 update, I did at about 2 AM, so, it says 8-14. :)
