Zack came out of the pet shop and ran into Deke and Cheryl.
"Hey, what are you guys doing here?" he wondered.
"We could ask you the same thing," Cheryl pointed out.
"Well, Slater's pet chameleon Artie died, and I figured if I got him another one, he wouldn't know the difference," Zack answered.
"He's not gonna want that chameleon, he's gonna want his chameleon," Deke retorted.
"Yeah, but how am I supposed to tell him that Artie died? It'd break his heart," Zack protested.
"And pretending this is Artie won't?" Cheryl asked.
"Well, hopefully, he won't figure it out," Zack answered.
"You're crazy," Cheryl told him.
"Look, what else am I supposed to do?" Zack wondered.
"You could always tell him the truth," Deke answered.
"Now who's being crazy?" Zack questioned.
"You know it's not going to work, Zack," Cheryl said.
"Sure it will...I hope," Zack answered. Cheryl and Deke shook their heads.
"I can almost guarantee you that this won't work," Deke told him.
"Almost doesn't count," Zack responded. "And hey, at least this way the big galoot won't be heartbroken," he continued. Cheryl and Deke looked at each other. Zack's heart was in the right place, but it wasn't the best course of action for him to be taking. However, they knew that whenever he had his mind set on something, there was usually no talking him out of it.
"Okay, if you think it'll work," Deke said, his tone saying that he felt otherwise.
"It'll work," Zack confidently stated. Then, he left. Deke and Cheryl shook their heads and walked off.
