A Kiss From A Rose
Zoey spent the next few days in a daze. She was constantly lost in deep thought, she even had Dana, Nicole, and Quinn worried. Every time they questioned her, she would reply nothing was wrong. Chase had kept his distance, even thought he enjoyed the kiss he was still very embarrassed that he had kissed his best friend. Everyone noticed the strange gap that now existed between Chase and Zoey though no one could put their finger on what it was. Finally Quinn couldn't take Zoey zombie like state anymore.
"I say we give her one more chance to tell us what's wrong and if she doesn't I'll feed her my truth serum." Quinn stated plainly. Nicole agreed while Dana seemed a bit unsure.
"I don't know Quinn what if it's personal? I mean Zoey must have a reason for not telling us." Dana argued.
"Would you rather have her walking around in such a daze that she hurts herself and we could have prevented it?" Quinn questioned.
"Yeah Dana we don't want Zoey getting hurt besides I really want to know what's going on." Nicole giggled in anticipation.
"It's two against one Dana."
"Ok fine" Dana reluctantly agreed. "How do we do this? Tie her to a chair or something?"
"Well that not the approach I was going to take but great idea we'll use that instead." Quinn remarked while making her way to room 101. Dana mentally slapped herself, but then realized maybe it was better than something Quinn could come up with, some of the stuff she came up with was a little scary sometimes. Through the hall Quinn had her truth serum in tow with Dana and Nicole in pursuit. Quinn instructed Nicole to begin the questioning since among the three she and Zoey were closest.
"Uhh hey Zoey"
"Hey" Zoey's tone was far from her normal cheerful self, she seemed so lost in her head. A feeling Nicole knew all too well.
"Wanna tell me what's wrong?"
"I already told you guys, nothing is wrong" Zoey said a little steamed that her friends didn't believe the lie she was throwing right at their faces. Nicole looked at Dana and Quinn and gave her 'Well I tried look'.
"Zoey we didn't want to have to do this, but you leave us no choice" Dana choked out, seeming upset.
"Leave you no choice for what?"
Right then Nicole, Dana, and Quinn forced Zoey into a chair and fastened her to it with some belts form the closet.
"What are you guys doing? Are you insane or something? Let me GO!! GET OFF!!" Zoey's protests grew louder, but were quckly silence by Quinn pinching her nose and pouring a funny tasting blue liquid down her throat. (AN: I know the whole pinching the nose thing seems childish but I have seen my sister do it with her kids and it seems a whole lot easier to get their medicine down.)
"Yuck, Quinn what the hell was that?" Zoey choked.
"Truth serum" Nicole interjected for her.
"TRUTH SER…." Was all Zoey could manage to get out before her zombie like state reappeared, but this time she looked a little different. Her zombie state looked more like she was in a trance.
"Quinn?" Dana said worried.
"It's ok she's supposed to look like that, she's fine it's perfectly harmless. Ok now let's get down to business." Quinn began, "Zoey what's wrong?"
"Honestly I do not know" Zoey stated trance like. The faces on the three girls fall maybe she was telling the truth and didn't know what was wrong with her.
"But…" Zoey continued, "I think I'm in love with him"
Nicole's eyes popped, "In love with who?" She asked eagerly.
"Chase"
"CHASE?!" the three girls roared.
"Yeah, I mean I never thought of him as anything more than a friend, but what he kissed me."
"He kissed you?!" Quinn was in shock.
"Yeah and it was so, perfect, magical almost."
Nicole and Dana just sat their, their mouths hanging open.
"I think I love him, no I DO love him"
"Does he know you feel that way?" Quinn questioned.
"I don't know how to tell him"
"Be honest" Quinn smiled, "Guys I think we should let her out of this"
Dana and Nicole, still in shock, nodded in agreement. Quinn pulled a small bottle of red liquid out of her pocket and drained it down Zoey's throat. Zoey shook her head and she blinked back into reality.
"Truth serum Quinn?"
"Sorry but we needed to know what was wrong, we just wanted to help Zoey"
"Yeah Zoey we didn't want you getting hurt" Nicole chirped in.
"Yeah well somebody's going to be hurting in a minute if they don't untie me"
"Oh of course" Dana jumped up and began unfastening the belts that held Zoey to the chair. "So you really like Chase?"
"Yeah I do. Just be honest?" Zoey looked at her three friends for support. Yeah she was a little angry at them for feeding her truth serum but hey what good were friends if they don't force you to spill your guts every once in a while?
"Yes" Quinn smiled at her friend.

A familiar beep sounded and Chase realized he had a text message. Pulling out his phone he saw it was from Zoey, flipping it open to reveal a message that said: 'Meet me on the bridge 2nite 7, I need 2 talk 2 U'- Zoey.
Getting up to leave Chase was stopped by Michael and Logan who asked where he was going. He told them nowhere, of course Logan having the curiosity of a cat didn't buy it for one second, while Michael returned to a video game. Chase closing the door behind him, Logan began.
"Come on man"
"Where?"
"See what Chase is up to"
"He said nothing."
"He gets a text message and then leaves with out a word? Something's up come on let's go find out."
"No man come on just leave it be" Michael began getting annoyed that his video game was being interrupted.
"Come one Man" Logan snapped while grabbing Michael by his shirt and pulling him out the door. Spotting Chase about 200 yards away they kept quiet and their distance, crouching behind a bush.
"Where's he going?" Logan questioned.
"Looks like to the bridge, wait somebody else is there too." Michael replied now getting as curious as Logan. "Hey wait a second isn't that?"
"Zoey!" Logan said a little louder then he meant to.
"Shhh they're talking. I can't hear anything they're saying"
"Hey I guess you got my text message?" Zoey sounded nervous and Chase picked up on it.
"Yeah I did, something on your mind?"
"Sorta"
Chase raised an eyebrow as if urging her to continue and she did.
"The other night when we, you know, kissed"
"Yeah about that, Zoey I'm really sorry that was selfish of me, I shouldn't have forced you into that"
"You didn't! I agreed and…. Well"
"Well what?" His eyes working a mile a minute trying to decipher the hidden codes in her face.
"I liked it" Chase's eyes lit up at this, "A lot, it's all I could think about over the last few days and I needed to tell you, because if I don't I think I'll burst or die or something"
"Tell me what Zoey?" even though he had a pretty good idea of what she was saying, for some reason he needed to hear the words come out of her mouth. And then she said it those three magical words that made his heart stop dead in his chest, his stomach flutter, and that dumb goofy looking smile to spread across his face.
"I love you"
They both stared into each other's eyes for a minute, not realizing that space between them depleting.
(AN: Ok now imagine that this is a real episode of Zoey 101, what
is it missing? Background music of course, cue music. Song: A Kiss
From A Rose. I don't know how many people have heard of it, but if
you ever watch Batman: Forever, it's played in there, at least I
think it's that Batman movie.)
There
used to be a greying tower alone on the sea.
You became the light
on the dark side of me.
Love remained a drug that's the high and
not the pill.
But did you know,
That when it snows,
My eyes
become large and
The light that you shine can be seen.
Baby,
I
compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grey.
Ooh,
The more I
get of you,
Stranger it feels, yeah.
And now that your rose is
in bloom.
A light hits the gloom on the grave.
There is so
much a man can tell you,
So much he can say.
You remain,
My
power, my pleasure, my pain, baby
To me you're like a growing
addiction that I can't deny.
Won't you tell me is that healthy,
baby?
But did you know,
That when it snows,
My eyes become
large and the light that you shine can be seen.
Baby,
I
compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grey.
Ooh, the more I get
of you
Stranger it feels, yeah
Now that your rose is in bloom.
A light hits the gloom on the grave,
It was at that moment their lips touched and the whole world seemed to come to a complete halt. The kiss continued to deepen.
I've been kissed by a
rose on the grave,
I've been kissed by a rose
I've been kissed
by a rose on the grave,
...And if I should fall along the way
I've
been kissed by a rose
...been kissed by a rose on the
grave.
There is so much a man can tell you,
So much he can
say.
You remain
My power, my pleasure, my pain.
To me
you're like a growing addiction that I can't deny, yeah
Won't you
tell me is that healthy, baby.
But did you know,
That when it
snows,
My eyes become large and the light that you shine can be
seen.
Baby,
I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the
grey.
Ooh, the more I get of you
Stranger it feels, yeah
Now
that your rose is in bloom;
A light hits the gloom on the grave.
Yes I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grey
Ooh, the
more I get of you
Stranger it feels, yeah
And now that your
rose is in bloom
A light hits the gloom on the grave
Now that
your rose is in bloom,
A light hits the gloom on the grave.
A short distance away Logan and Michael could be seen with their mouths hanging open.
"Oh this is too good to pass up" Logan immediately pulled out his camera phone and began recording the 'historic' sight.
"What are you doing?"
"Just a little something to tease Chase with, when I'm in the mood"
Zoey and Chase were too wrapped up (literally) in each other to even notice that they were being watched. And little did Michael and Logan know that besides the four of them who else was watching, which happened to be ……
Ha Ha Cliff hanger, I love to be mean. Ok now this right here this part of the story the whole bridge thing is sort of a fantasy of mine. To have a guy tell me he loves me and then kiss me right there on the bridge under a full moon. Kinda silly right? Oh well a girl can dream can't she?
Besides my writing out my fantasies to share with you, I hope you enjoyed this little tid bit concocted from my sick twisted imagination, that just might one day get me into trouble as my mother so delicately puts it from time to time.
Enjoy,
