A/N: Wow... Been awhile hasn't it? About 2 weeks, more or less. Yeah.. Stuff's been happening. We all know that stuff can keep you busy. First off, about me.. I got my haircut today, last Friday my action replay for the GameCube arrived, YAY! And uh... my Spanish class sucks, as usual. Now, let's talk about the new episode for the latest season of Zoey 101 that was shown yesterday. WOW! About time it aired! But man, what the heck? They left us with a big enough cliffhanger at the end of Spring Break-Up, now they go ahead and leave us with another one! I mean, who in the right mind will go "Yeah uh... this is my girlfriend Zoey." and immediately end it there! Yes, I know that's not what Chase actually said, but you get my point. JUST PLAIN EVIL I TELL YOU!
And the entire episode in general... Just plain odd. What they all did to race to the single bed and what not. Michael and Logan eat hot peppers and get into a boxing fight... The whole bee thing with Coco... And of course the ending, where Zoey marches off to find out (finally!) to see if it's true, and Chase really does love her, only to barge into his room to find Chase with his lips locked onto what's her name. I don't have it memorized yet...
And this just leaves so many questions left unanswered. Spring Break-Up happened during Spring Break, so that means there was still about 2 months or so until the end of the school year. And this newest episode starts on the first day of the latest year. So what happened during the remaining 2 months? What happened to Zoey's tekmate? What about everyone else's tekmates, how come they don't have them anymore? I'm sure Zoey would have asked Chase again what that message said right after they finished watching Gender Defenders, so what happened there? And now that I can't think of any more questions, I ask you this. How in the world can Zoey be that oblivious about how Chase feels? o.O
One last thing. What did you guys think their excuse would be for having Nicole not there? I figured it would be some sort of family emergency. But they made it so she has OMGD. (Gasp) She's gonna die at that school.. :P And...if you are reading this, and didn't see the episode because you missed it, and don't like that I spoiled it for you... well, too bad. Sorry is all I can say I guess.
Okay, enough of me...I gotta shut up... I'm sure your sick of me already. But really, I had to get that all off my chest.. Onto the story!
To MuSiC iS LyFe 101: Good job, you guessed it. It seems like you're the only one who did. I know, it's not too much, but I couldn't think of anything for them to do.
To Everyone else: If you still can't figure out where I'm going with this, and want to know ahead before I get to the point, go to this story's reviews, and look for MuSiC iS LyFe 101's review for chapter 14.

"Well..." Zoey started. "I guess, for now, we do nothing."
"Nothing? Why nothing?" Chase asked, bewildered.
"Haven't you figured out what we're doing yet?" Zoey asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Uh..." Chase stalled. He looked away from her and crossed his arms together, his face scrunched together in a thinking position. Zoey let out a small sigh as she let him do his thinking. The minutes passed as Chase's brain worked. After a good five minutes, Chase finally let out, "No."
"You took that long just to say no?" Zoey asked him.
Chase, yet again, crossed his arms and scrunched up his face.
"Chase..." Zoey warned him, with an annoyed look on her own face.
Chase laughed a little at this. "Yes I did."
Zoey couldn't help but laugh along with him. She loved how he could do that to her so much.
Chase smiled at Zoey, who did to same back to him.
At the Beach's Edge
A person appeared off in the distance. The mysterious figure watched the two teens laugh together, but was shocked to see what happened next.
Chase leaned in closer to Zoey. Chase had finally decided to do what he's been wanting to do for awhile. Chase's lips met onto Zoey's, who gave into it. They shared a deep, passionate kiss. This was cut off short, unfortunately, when Zoey pulled back, after hearing a familiar voice call to them, leaving Chase in a daze. He quickly snapped out of it and looked in the direction that Zoey was.
"Hey! What's the big idea here Zoey?" It was Nicole. "I thought you said you couldn't be around Chase anymore. And now, when I come looking for you, I find you kissing him."
Zoey had a nervous look on her face now. "Uh... well..." But she couldn't think of anything to cover this up. She finally decided to go with the truth. "I lied..." Zoey told her, looking down slightly.
"What? What do you mean?" Nicole asked, growling a little worried.
"It was all a lie. None of what I told you really happened." Zoey told to Nicole. "Chase and I came up with it so we could get you guys back."
"So...what did happen?" Nicole wondered.
Zoey glanced at Chase. All he did was shrug. Chase wasn't sure what to say, since all this had been Zoey's plan, and nothing from himself.
"Well..." Zoey said, starting to tell Nicole the events that actually took place when Chase and herself were inside the supply closet.
Meanwhile on top of the Boy's Dorm Roof
Lola ran to the boy's dorm to find Michael and Logan, and to tell them what Nicole had just told her. Before leaving, Lola sent Nicole to go find Zoey. Nicole managed to tell her exactly what Zoey had told her extremely quick, since she was naturally a fast talker, so Lola sent her to go find her since she couldn't have gone far at that point in time.
Lola thrust the door open and found Michael and Logan talking to each other in the lounge. "Guys, come with me to the rooftop. We need to talk." She told them as she continued walking to the staircase leading to the roof.
Logan and Michael exchanged glances for a moment, and followed suite. Lola was sitting down on one of the fold out chairs already as the two boys appeared in view. "So what happened?" Michael asked curiously.
Lola hesitated for a moment, then told them everything that Zoey had described. "And... I don't know what we should do now... This is all our fault."
"Yeah, Chase told us the same thing before he left the room. We really screwed up." Michael stated. "We have to try and fix this... but how?"
Lola remained quiet as Logan just shrugged.
Back at the Beach
"...And that's when I called Dustin on my tekmate to come and open the door so that we could get out of that supply room." Zoey was finishing up her tale to Nicole. "So, your plan really did, kind of work. We got to talking and now we're together." Chase smiled. "But we were still kind of miffed that you locked us up inside a closet. So we came up with a plan to get you all... sort of... feeling guilty."
"Well it worked!" Nicole shouted sadly. "I'm really sorry Zoey."
"But you can't tell Lola, Michael, or Logan any of this, Nicole. You weren't supposed to find out yet anyway. Can you keep it a secret? Chase and I want to teach them a lesson for locking us up like that. Even if it did help us, like they wanted it too, it wasn't a nice thing to do."
"Okay Zoey, I'll try to keep it quiet." Nicole said quietly. "But what do I do now? Lola wanted me to go find you. So what do I tell her when I go back?"
"Well..." Zoey started saying, but then came up with an idea. "Actually, this could be helpful. You knowing could really come in handy. Just go back to Lola and tell her you couldn't find me at all."
Nicole nodded, and started walking away. But she quickly turned back around and ran to her friend. "Zoey..."
"Yeah?" she responded.
Nicole gave her a hug. "Congratulations! I'm so happy for you! Don't I look happy for you? Because I'm really happy for you."
Zoey figured she was talking about Chase. "Th– Thanks." Nicole let go, and went to go find Lola.
Zoey turned to face Chase. "She's happy for us." She stated.
"So happy." Chase nodded.
Zoey looked away from him and out towards the water as a thought popped into her head. Maybe it wasn't such a good idea after all. And I think I know what Chase and I have to do...
"Zoey? Are you alright?" Chase wondered.
Zoey moved her gaze back toward Chase, but remained silent.
Boy's Rooftop
All three of them were silent as they were trying to think of plans to get Chase and Zoey on good terms again. Nicole popped her head into view and broke the silence. "Hi guys!"
"Nicole! So, did you find her?" Lola asked.
"Well..." Nicole tried to say, but she then remembered the promise she made to Zoey. To not her or the boys know what was really going on. She also remembered that Zoey asked her to tell them she had not found them. "No. I didn't."
Lola frowned. "Well where could she have run off too?" But just then, Logan spoke up.
"Wait, I got an idea!" He announced.
Everyone else gasped in fake shock at this news.
"Ha ha... anyway, why don't we just grab them the next time we see them, and push them to each other and force them to settle it. Just, this time no closets. That didn't work out so well last time." Logan told them.
"Logan, that's gotta be the stu– wait... actually, that could work." Lola said, lifting her head in thought.
Nicole started to walk back down the stairs as the other three planned out Logan's idea. The last thing Nicole heard was 'So we'll do it tomorrow at lunch. Remember, don't let them leave.'
Nicole walked around campus. She was thinking over what Zoey had told her awhile back. She wanted me to help her... Maybe I should go tell her what they're gonna do. Nicole finally decided to go inform Zoey of what the other three had planned. She reached the beach, and what she saw made her laugh lightly.
The two of them were rolled in the sand. Zoey was on top of Chase, their lips together. Nicole let the two have their fun for a bit longer, and finally let out a small cough to let them know she was there. Both Chase and Zoey looked up at her. "Uh... Hi." Chase said lightly.
Nicole rubbed the back of her neck, as if to get ready to tell Zoey the news she heard. "Zoey... They're going to try to get you guys back together tomorrow."
"What do you mean?" Zoey asked.
Nicole told her of everything that was talked about up on the rooftop. "And I figured you'd want to know, so I came back here to tell you."
"Thanks a lot Nicole. So it's tomorrow at lunch?" Zoey questioned. Nicole just nodded, and walked off.
Zoey looked at Chase with sadness in her eyes. "Chase..."
"What is it Zoe?" Chase asked with concern.
"We're... going to have to fight." Zoey said, her head drooping.
