A/N: Bet you're all thinking, "Yay! He updated really fast!" Well, yeah.. But I have a reason for doing it today. I just saw the commercial for the 2nd episode of Zoey 101 yesterday, and I felt the need to rant about it, so I figured I'd do an update as I rant.
First off, the volume wasn't up too loud, so some things seemed kind of mumbled on it, but I did manage to hear the one sentence come out of Chase at the end. Though I'd really like too, this time I'm not going to spoil it for people, even if as you read this, you've seen it already. But really, THAT CAN'T HAPPEN! That's something that happened in my own story, you should know what I mean if you saw it, but they can't have it happen during the show! o.O I already know what's going to happen in the episode overall, but still... AAAHH!
To larabaybee: Yes.
To GinnyAndDracoForever: Yes, I know that, I stated it in beginning A/N last chapter. And for the site, I already joined the first time you told me about it. I think that was you. It was you wasn't it? Anyway... Yeah, I'm there. And... If it's true, yay, 26 episodes!
To MuSiC iS LyFe 101: YAY! You picked mine:) And yes, evil.
To GUCIGIRL: Hehe.. You'll be surprised. Keep on reading.

Chase was taken back. "Fight? What do you mean, 'fight'?" Chase asked, thinking Zoey was going a little insane.
"Do you remember what Nicole just told us?" Zoey questioned.
"Yeah. She said that Logan and them were going to try to 'get us back together'." He answered to her.
"And what have we been trying to do?" Zoey continued.
"Uh... make them feel bad?" Chase half-guessed.
"Exactly. So tomorrow, when they try to make us talk, we can just get into an argument. That should make them feel even worse." She said, trying to smile. I can't fight with Chase. I love him... I don't know how we're going to pull this off.
Chase was thinking the same thing. "And... what exactly are we going to be fighting about then?" He asked.
Zoey's expression was empty. "I don't know. Maybe we can try to wing it. Remember, it has to look real. So don't mess it up."
Chase just stared at her. How could he actually have an argument with her? His thoughts were interrupted when Zoey spoke again.
"Maybe we shouldn't hang out for awhile. At least not anymore today, and until tomorrow. We don't want anyone else to find out like Nicole." Zoey told him, starting to walk away. "I just hope Nicole doesn't blab."
The rest of the day seemed to have gone by rather easily for the two teens. Neither Logan, Michael, or Lola bothered them for the remainder of it. They also showed no signs of knowing what Nicole now knew. She had managed to keep the secret quiet.
The guys even left Chase alone that night while they were in their room getting ready for bed. Lola and Nicole did the same with Zoey.
The Next Morning
Both Chase and Zoey woke up to find their room's empty. Michael, Logan, Lola, and Nicole all left early to make sure they knew what they were doing when it came time for the plan.
Eventually, the clock ticked down, and students started to trail outside for lunchtime. Logan, Lola, Michael, and Nicole sat down together at a table between where Chase and Zoey were separated. Neither Chase or Zoey would sit with the small group.
Chase made sure to sit at a table by himself, but at a location where he could see both Zoey's table and his other friend's table.
Zoey did the same thing that Chase had done. She kept her distance from her friends, and waited for them to move. If Nicole was right, then they would be making their move at any moment. She silently prayed that Chase could handle this, but then prayed for herself as this got her nervous.
"Guys... I don't think we should do this." Nice said, worried. She knew more then the other three did, so she wasn't sure what Chase and Zoey had planned. Who knows what could happen...
"Well, we have to try something. If this doesn't work, then I guess it's just no use. Maybe they just weren't meant to be." Lola acknowledged sadly.
But they are meant to be! Nicole shouted in her mind. She was dying to tell them the secret, but she promised Zoey to keep it hushed.
Lola noticed that something seemed wrong with Nicole, as she was being unusually quiet. "Nicole, is something the matter? You look like something's on your mind, and usually you go right ahead and talk about it."
This brought Michael and Logan's attention onto her. She diverted her eyes between each of them, keeping quiet. She wasn't sure what to say. She didn't want to talk, otherwise she might accidentally blab. "No, it's nothing, really."
Neither Lola, Michael, or Logan believed that, but they weren't going to question her. Not yet at least. According the Michael's watch, it was time to test out Logan's idea. "This is it. You guys know what to do. Let's hope this works." Michael and Logan sat up and made their way to Chase's table.
"Come on Nicole." Lola stated, lifting Nicole off the seat, and they walked toward Zoey's table.
Both Zoey and Chase had been watching their friends from the corner of their eye. When they all stood up at the same time, they assumed that it was time.
Guess this is it. Hope we can pull this off okay. Zoey thought to herself watching Nicole and Lola come toward her to the right.
Chase, unfortunately, was not feeling as confident. Aw man, it's time. I hope I don't mess up, Zoey probably won't be happy if I do. He though, watching the approaching Logan and Michael from his left.
(A/N: Before I continue, I must let you all know, I will be typing 2 conversations at the same time. Zoey, with Lola and Nicole. And Chase, with Logan and Michael. They are at different tables, so even though I may be typing them at the same time, they can not hear the other group. Try not to get confused. :P)
"Hi Zoey." Lola greeted. Nicole kept silent.
"Hi..." Zoey replied lightly.
"Hey man, how are ya?" Michael asked his friend.
"Just dandy," Chase said, hoping to sound sarcastic.
"So... Zoey..." Lola continued.
"So?" Zoey let out.
"Chase, could I ask you a question?" Michael wondered.
"You just did." He responded dully.
Both Michael and Logan rolled their eyes at this. "Okay fine, can I ask you two questions then?" He asked again.
"That was your second question." Chase told them, grinning on the inside.
Logan was really annoyed at this point. "Oh for... Alright, then can I ask you four questions?" Michael asked furiously, doing the small math needed in his head to say it correctly.
"I guess so..." Chase answered.
"Zoey, we want you to go see Chase. We don't like you being apart and stuff now." Lola stated, not sure how to say what she had just said exactly.
"I already told you why. I just can't see Chase anymore. It'd be too weird." Zoey said to Lola, giving Nicole a stare.
Nicole felt really uncomfortable. It was weird to listen to the conversation when she knew what Zoey was saying was untrue.
"Dude, why can't you just go talk to Zoey?" Michael questioned Chase.
"I've already said why. She– she doesn't want to see me. And I can respect that, even if it does make me unhappy."
"And that's why we're here to help." Logan told him. He somehow appeared right behind Chase, and grabbed a hold onto his shoulders.
"But Zoey!" Lola whined.
"'But' nothing. I just wouldn't be able to handle it. Now, if you don't mind, I'd like to finish eating." Zoey said in a stern voice. She looked down at her food, and no longer at the two girls. She knew what was going to happen next, if what Nicole said was true, so that was why she wasn't looking at them any longer.
Lola glanced at Nicole, and lightly hit her on the arm. Nicole, who was still slightly out of it, looked at her and mouthed 'What?' to her. Lola gestured toward Zoey. Nicole's mind was racing, she didn't know what to do. It was all just too confusing. Finally, she broke down. "I can't do it." she said lightly.
Zoey looked back up from her food and glanced at Nicole again, trying to visually communicate with her. But she looked back down again before Lola faced her again. She sighed, and moved around the table to behind where Zoey sat, and took a hold onto her shoulders.
The next thing Chase and Zoey know, they're dragged off their seats and are now standing up and staring at each other between the many tables in the area. Lola, Nicole, Michael, and Logan had formed a small circle around Chase and Zoey so they couldn't try to run away. Chase started to smile to see Zoey, but remembered he was supposed to be faking, so he quickly wiped it off.
Everyone was quiet. But then someone finally spoke...
"Is there a reason why I'm here?" Zoey asked, trying to sound annoyed.
"Yes, you're going to fix your relationship with Chase, and your not going anywhere until you do." Lola told her.
Chase slightly gulped. I guess this will be where Zoey said she and I argue. How will I be able to fake that?
-------------------------------------------------
A/N: You know, typing this was weird. For some reason, the software I use to type all these kept telling me the word "is" was misspelled. Heck, if even says it right there too. Odd... So.. I just got a physical today, and I'm healthy. YAY! So uh.. bowling intermurals are soon, so I won't be home as often, maybe meaning less updates...as soon. Maybe, not sure. Hmm.. What else to say...?
Oh, by the way, GUCIGIRL, what I said up top, don't worry, I haven't reached that part yet, it's still coming. You'll all be surprised I'm sure. The way I want to do it, will not happen though, so I have to edit it slightly. If I do the next chapter how I want to... well, I'm positive I'd get dozens of hate messages. And I can't have that... So I gotta change it slightly.
For those of you who saw commercial for episode 2 of S3, did you notice the similarity between it and my story? One person did, but they put the review up before I could post this update. LOL. I say Nick stole it from me, I had it in my story first. Even if it was a different character... So :P
Now, go review. Right now. Or you're fired! (watch explodes) Forever! 50,000 bonus points if you can guess where that's from. Hehe..
