Zack and Screech were fiddling with the tape recorder, setting up everything they needed for the subliminal messages, when they heard someone coming in the window.

"Hey, guys," Zack greeted, without turning around.

"Sonic, what are you doing now?" Deke demanded.

"Getting Kelly away from the muscle-bound monkey, Slater," Zack answered.

"And how do you plan on doing that?" Cheryl queried.

"Easy. Subliminal messages," Zack replied.

"Dude, did you learn nothing from when you ran against Jessie?" Deke asked.

"This is totally different," Zack protested.

"Oh, yeah? How?" Cheryl and Deke asked together.

"This is for Kelly's good. Trust me," Zack insisted.

"Zack, if you need a date, I'll be happy to go with you," Cheryl told him.

"Thanks, but that'd be like going out with my sister. I'd rather go out with Kelly," Zack answered.

"If I didn't know him better, I'd be insulted," Cheryl said to Deke. The boy just shook his head.

"I think he's really lost it this time," Deke commented. With a sigh, the two left.
