The next day, Mark and Zoey were outside, holding hands and having a picnic lunch. Quinn and Chase were not far from them. Chase was in a bush, even though he doesn't like being in bushes. Quinn was in a tree on top of him.
"Science girl to funny guy," said Quinn over a walkie-talkie, "science girl to funny guy. Come in."
"Quinn, I'm Chase," said Chase, "remember?"
"I know," said Quinn, "I made code names for us. Now, funny guy, what do you see?"
"I see Mark and Zoey having lunch together and holding hands," said Chase through binoculars.
Just then, Zoey and Mark kissed each other—on the lips.
"Funny guy to science girl," said Chase, "did you see that?"
"I sure did," said Quinn, "they kissed each other. This is not good. This is not good at all. And this branch is not that thick. I'm falling."
All of a sudden, Quinn fell on Chase, breaking his arm. Zoey and Mark saw her.
"Quinn?" asked Zoey and Mark at the same time.
"Oh, hi guys," said Quinn.
"What are you doing here?" asked Zoey.
"I was just… looking for Chase," lied Quinn, "have you seen him?"
"Quinn, you're sitting on me," mumbled Chase.
"Oh," said Quinn, "sorry, Chase."
She got off Chase and Chase got up, holding his arm.
"Have you two been spying on us?" asked Mark.
"Well, sort of," said Chase.
"Why?" asked Zoey, "why can't you be happy for us?"
"We just don't want you to get hurt," said Quinn, which was sort a lie.
"I think that you're just jealous," said Mark.
"Jealous?" asked
Chase, "we're not jealous."
"Then why have you been
popping out of nowhere and have been spying on us?" asked Zoey.
Then, neither Chase nor Quinn said anything.
"Fine," said Zoey, "if you don't want to tell us why, maybe we shouldn't be friends anymore."
"Fine," said Quinn.
"Fine," said Chase.
"Bye, ex-best friends Quinn Marie Pensky and Chase Bartholomew Matthews," said Zoey as she and Mark left.
Then, Chase gasped. Zoey promised never to tell anyone his middle name.
"Well, same to you, ex-best friends Zoey Ann Brooks and Mark John Delfiggalo," said Chase as he started to leave, but Quinn grabbed his sleeve.
"Wait a minute, Chase," said Quinn, "look at Mark's neck."
Chase looked at Mark's neck and saw a scar on it.
"Yeah, so?" asked Chase.
"No wonder Mark and Zoey love each other," said Quinn, "why didn't I think of it before?"
"Think of what?" asked Chase.
"Chase, a few days ago, I made a ray called a love ray," said Quinn, "I shot it at Zoey so when she looked at you, she would fall in love with you. Zoey must have ducked and it landed on Mark."
"You're the reason our true loves are in love with each other?" asked Chase.
"It was an accident," said Quinn, "I was just trying to help."
"Remind me to kill you later," said Chase.
A few minutes later, Chase, whose arm was wrapped in a bandage, and Quinn went back to Chase's dorm to figure out how to get Mark and Zoey back to normal.
When they got in, they saw Logan and Lola kissing, on the lips.
They stopped and Logan said, "Have you ever heard of knocking?"
"Logan, it's my dorm too," said Chase, "I can see my roommate kissing his girlfriend if I want to in here."
"What happened to your arm?" asked Lola.
"Don't ask," said Chase, "you don't want to know. Trust me."
"Wait a minute," said Quinn, "I have an idea how to get Zoey and Mark back to normal. It'll be a little gross. But it's the only way we'll get them back to normal."
"What is it?" asked Chase.
Quinn whispered her idea to Chase.
"No, Quinn," said Chase, "not that. Anything but that."
"It's our only option, Chase," said Quinn.
AUTHOR'S NOTE: What's Quinn idea? I know what it is, but I want your opinions. What do you think Quinn's idea is? Review ideas. I might even change my mind and use your idea. I'll write more later.
