DISCLAIMER
Belongs to NBC. Takes place right after they learn that Valley's kidnapped Screech. Implications of the dream world, which could refer to Fred Krueger, so that belongs to Wes Craven.
Cheryl and Deke came up to where Zack and his friends were.
"Hey, what's wrong, guys?" Cheryl questioned.
"Valley took Screech," Zack answered.
"WHAT!?" Deke and Cheryl asked together.
"Yeah. This is all my fault. I never should've started this stupid prank war," Zack said dejectedly.
"Hey Sonic, you're not giving up, are you?" Deke questioned.
"What am I gonna do, Hulk? I'm useless in the real world, just like in our dreams," Zack replied.
"That's not true," Cheryl corrected.
"Thanks, Dreamer. But it is," Zack said.
"You're just gonna give up? Leave Screech with Valley?" Deke challenged.
"Well, no, but…" Zack's voice trailed off.
"And I thought you were a master scammer," Cheryl commented.
"I am!" Zack insisted.
"So act like it!" Deke and Cheryl chorused.
"Okay. Okay," Zack nodded. "Um, well, this is a little over our heads. I don't think doing another prank will be beneficial," he continued.
"He's right," Slater agreed. Lisa, Jessie, and Kelly nodded.
"So…as much as it pains me to say it…I think we need to go to Mr. Belding," Zack told them. Everyone looked at each other.
"Yeah. Okay," they all finally agreed. They all headed out.
"Well, that wasn't quite what I was expecting," Deke muttered.
"Yeah, no kidding," Cheryl agreed. Slater walked came up beside them.
"Hey, what was that all about? You pushin' him like that?" he wondered.
"You gotta treat Sonic a certain way sometimes," Deke explained. Before Slater could ask, they reached the principal's office. Zack knocked on the door.
"Come in," Principal Richard Belding stated. With a sigh, they all did so.
