A/N: I am so, so, so sorry about the lack of updates! But I have the story planned out now - before I was mostly going on momentum and people asking for updates - and the next chapter will be the last one. If that seems sudden, it all comes together next chapter. Oh, and I'm not going to do Dustin POV after all. Sorry! It'll be one POV both chapters. Enough of my babbling - review replies!
hayheads: Thanks a lot! The summary does kinda suck, but it'll do. I don't think I'll become a writer when I'm older, though. I don't have the willpower!
Ryan (last name deleted): You're welcome! I don't think I'll be able to fit Sandy POV in though. Sorry! I might do a Sandy/Dustin moment at the very end, though.
larabaybee: Oops, you're right, actually. Sorry about that, I'll try not to do it again in the next chapters.
Exoticariesness: Thanks! I'm definitely not going to discontinue it.
xxRadioactive Jellybeanxx: Zoey's POV is next chapter. Keep reading!

Quinn POV
As I finish dusting off my latest Quinnvention, the calorie-extracting machine, Lola and Nicole suddenly burst through the door without knocking, duck behind the bed, and shout, "If Michael asks, we're going to the cafeteria!" I am momentarily confused, but before I can interrogate them to find out why they're causing such a commotion, there's a knock on the door.
I open it and discover Michael there. He is breathing very fast, and looks like he's been chasing someone all over campus. Wait a minute... "Hey, have you seen Lola and Nicole?" Ahhh - that explains it!
"Actually, I did see them. They said something about you chasing them, though. They also said they were going to the cafeteria, I think." I pause for a moment to think. I need to get him out of here fast - Nicole will start to giggle if he stays too long! "I'm glad you're here, though. Dustin said he has a date, and I have a new Quinnvention that I wanted to test, so, if you have a few minutes..." That should send him running - I always sense fear emnating from him when I talk about my Quinnventions. Sure enough, he starts to panic slightly.
"Actually, Quinn, I really have to go. I'll see you later, ok?" With that, he practically sprints down the corridor. Lola and Nicole got up.
"Wow, way to go Quinn! I didn't know you were so good at lying!" Neither did I. I still don't know exactly what's going on here though, so I need to find out. Lola and Nicole may need my help with something.
"May I ask why you two are running away from Michael?" At this, Lola immediately sits down. "What?" I ask, perplexed.
"It's Nicole's job to tell the story. I don't think I'll get as bad a headache if I'm sitting down. It's a very long story." That explains it - I'm working on a theory that Nicole's tongue moves as fast as the sound it produces. The results so far are fairly positive, though the experiment is still in the early stages. I sit down too.
When Nicole sees this, she starts to speak. Very fast. "I went up to the dorm, and Lola was lyin' on the bed, and she said her and Chase broke up, and I was scared in case they weren't friends anymore, 'cause that would be, like, totally suckish, but she said it was cool." Please tell me the story is nearly over... "Then she said that Chase liked another girl, and she thought she went to PCA, but she wasn't sure. Then we went to Michael's, and tricked him into telling us who it was. It was Zoey!" She pauses here to let it sink in. Thank goodness. Since I am more tuned in to the emotions of others than most, I had already suspected this. But I wasn't sure - at least she's stopped talking! My relief was short lived. "Then he wanted us to promise we wouldn't meddle, but we didn't want to, so Lola pretended to feel sick, so he went to get aspirin, and we ran. He's been chasing us over campus for the past half hour." After about ten seconds, all of this sinks in.
Lola spoke up. "What we need to do is find a way to get Chase and Zoey together. Brainstorm, people!" I thought with all my considerable brain. After about forty seconds, Nicole gasped.
"I've got it! It's, like, so totally obvious! Ok, we invite Chase, Michael and Logan over once Zoey gets back from wherever she is, and then play Truth or Dare!" That just might work! It's so easy! Only Nicole could come up with something like that.
"Nicole, that's... brilliant! Trust you to think of that!" Apparently Lola shares my point of view.
"In your room?" It's best to work out all the details of a plan first. If you don't - well, look what happened to my banapples! "I don't think we'd all fit in my room, with all my stuff." Lola and Nicole nod. "What exactly should we do?"
With a smile on her face, Lola answered, "Don't worry, Quinn. I know exactly what we're going to do. Now, listen..." She tells us her plan of action. I like it - straight to the point and quite amusing to watch, I assume. We're going to have some fun!
A/N: Well, there's chapter 4! I gave you a very slight cliffie there at the end! Please review, I have over a thousand hits for this story, but only 13 reviews! Reviewers will get virtual cookies!
