A/N: Can't think of anything to say... I started school yesterday. So...you know how that works.
To DramaQueen94: Um...I think it was another story. But I also said it was a 'supply closet', not just a 'closet'. Although...originally, that wasn't how it was going to end up. But some stuff changed, which meant the ending did too. And if you must know...it involved Zoey doing a lot of lying. :)

Silence. That's all that there was. Chase was speechless. He wasn't quite sure if his ears heard correctly. "W– what?" he asked in disbelief.
Zoey's face turned a light shade of red, though Chase could not see it, as it was still dark inside the supply room they were held captive in. (A/N: Incase your confused, it's been dark the whole time. Whenever it referred to one looking at the other, it was just enough light that their eyes could see, that they saw the figure of the other in front of them) "Yeah...I guess it's true. I've been thinking a lot in the past week, since I...uh... found out. I guess...I've always known how I felt... I just never really thought about it, as I've always just referred to you as my best guy friend. Didn't really think about anything more then that... But then...when I found out the truth...it opened my eyes to it. And it scared me a little, which is why I had run off..." Zoey admitted to him.
Chase's smile grew with each passing word. He was about to speak, but Zoey continued talking.
"Chase...I love everything about you. I like how you can always make me laugh. I can always come to you for anything. You can always turn something bad into something good. All of your wild antics... And I wouldn't have your bushy hair any other way."
"That's the exact same way I've felt for almost two years now. Well...you know. Except for that bushy hair part. You don't have bushy hair...I do." Zoey laughed a little at that. "The only reason...that you found out...was because Michael thought I had kept it a secret for too long, so he pretty much forced me, and that's when we gave you back your tekmate..."
"Wait! That's it! Chase, you're a genius!" Zoey shouted.
"I am? I mean... I am!" Chase said proudly, though confused. "What was my idea?"
"The tekmates! We can use it to get help out of this closet."
"Oh yeah...I don't have mine on me though... Do you have yours on?" he asked.
"Yes" she answered, moving her hand down to the small pouch hooked onto her belt, and then bring it back up, with tekmate in hand. "But who can we call? I doubt our friends would come to help. They're the ones who put us in here...although I am kind of glad they did..." Both teen's faces turned red slightly.
"Oh, I know. Let's call you brother, Dustin. I don't think he had any help in putting us in here."
"Good idea Chase." she said, calling Dustin.
Dustin's Room
Dustin was laying on his bed, doing his English homework. He didn't like that class too much. He greatly preferred his science class over English. He was the best student in that classroom. Dustin let out a small sigh, and flipped over onto his back, looking at the ceiling. He wished something could come along to distract him from the dreadful homework. Suddenly, he heard the ring of a phone. But it wasn't a phone. It was his tekmate. He immediately got up, and looked around for it. It's ring seemed to echo, so he couldn't find it by ear. Dustin started to frantically scramble around the room in search for the device. This was the answer to his distraction, so he had to take it.
The Closet
"Come on Dustin...pick up!" Zoey said to the phone.
Chase was watching her in the darkness. Man...I can't believe what's happened in the past five minutes. Just...unbelievable. Maybe I'm dreaming again. He thinks, pinching his arm. Ow! Okay, defiantly not a dream. Yes! Zoey actually loves me!
Meanwhile, Dustin had finally found his own tekmate, and answered to the caller. "Hello?"
Finally... "Dustin! It's me, Zoey. Look... I need your help. Chase and I are stuck in a supply closet, and we can't get out. Can you come down to the girl's lounge and open up the door?" she asked her brother.
"Sure thing! I'm on the way." He replied, leaving the room. "Good-bye English!"
While Dustin ran to go help them, Zoey put her tekmate away. Both Chase and her remained silent the rest of the time. Occasionally one of them would take a quick glance at the other, but that was all. Eventually, a bright light filled their eyes, as the door next to them opened, revealing Dustin. "Why are you guys on the ground?" he asked him.
Neither of them answered that question, as they got up and out of the small room. Zoey gave his brother a small hug. "Thanks a lot Dustin. We really needed to get out of there."
"Yeah, we appreciate it." Chase added.
"Oh no...really... I should be thanking you." Dustin said, correcting them.
Zoey was a little confused. "Okay..."
"So do you need help with anything else? Really! I don't mind at all."
"No...that was all we needed." Zoey told him."
"Are you sure?" he asked again.
"Dustin..."
"Fine...I'll do my homework." he said sadly, turning back around to run toward his dorm.
"So...what do we do now?" Chase asked curiously.
Zoey didn't respond right away. She was thinking. "Well..."
"Ooh...that sounds like your 'I've got a plan' voice. What are you thinking?" he wondered.
"I'll tell you a little later. I want you to go and find Michael, Logan, Nicole, and Lola. But don't let them see you. Just go and find them. Then meet up with me at the beach. Then I will tell you. Just remember... 'Do not let them see you'."
Chase nodded and left the building.
Meanwhile at Sushi Rox
"So Michael..." Lola started, "Do you think that plan of yours will really work? What if it just makes it worse?"
"I'm positive it will. They had to be put together, and not be able to run away. It's like when your afraid of something. To get over your fear of it, you have to face it head-on."
"What are you, a fortune cookie?"Logan asked him with a smirk.
Michael just glared at him.
"I don't know...I just think maybe we shouldn't have left them like that. I think they're gonna be mad at us." Lola said. Nicole nodded.
"Yeah...and I can't have people being mad at me. When people are mad at me, I'm unhappy. And when I'm unhappy, then I just can't get through the day. I don't like being unhappy. It's just so...suckish." She added quickly.
As the four teens were talking, outside the window a certain bushy-haired teen was looking inside. I knew it! They did come here after they locked us up. Well...I guess I should go back to Zoey now, since I've done what she wanted me too. Chase thought, turning around. Wish I knew what her plan was. Why does she have to be so mysterious? Oh well...just another thing I love about her.
Chase arrived at the beach, where Zoey had wanted him to meet her, but she wasn't there. Chase was the only one in the vicinity. Maybe I'm a little early. Guess I'll wait. He sat down and looked towards the ocean horizon. It wasn't long before he felt a small tap on his shoulder. He looked up to see Zoey.
"Hey." he greeted, with a smile.
-------------------------------------------------
A/N: So...wonder what her plan could be. I don't! I already know, but you all don't. So HA! Well, I may not have said a lot up top, but down here...boy do I have a lot to say. First off, this chapter is a little short, due to the fact that I am suffering from first week of junior year exhaustion. I came home today, and I was practically DEAD. But, I love you all so much, I managed to finish writing it for you. But of course, when I come home, computer gives us issues for a few hours. Now...I should have finished this last night, but stuff came up, and I was only half done. And...I don't know if this is old news or not, but last night, while I was on the internet searching for some information to help me with this story, I found out something...that isn't nice! I found out that Alexa Nikolas, the actor who plays Nicole Bristow, may not appear in the 3rd season of Zoey101. Apparently she and Jamie had some sort of fight... And I don't know if this has been resolved or not...but, you know...just letting you all know, if you didn't know.
