Disclaimer: I do not own Zoey 101)

"Ok, James. We'll be there in a bit." Zoey spoke into her phone. She flipped it shut and turned her head to Chase as he started to speak.

"We'll be where, when?" He asked confusedly as they walked into the elevator.

Zoey and Chase were at the Tipton, and had gathered the last of their things. Chase led them towards the front desk and checked them out and they continued their conversation as they twirled through the revolving door.

"We're going away where that Drew guy can't find us." Zoey explained.

"And that would be...where?"

"To Nicole's. Ellsworth, Kansas." Zoey stated, proudly.

"Errmm...cool... I guess." Chase agreed uncertainly.

Walking down the sidewalk, (beer in hand) plotting his revenge, he heard two familiar voices talking.

"We're going away where that Drew guy can't find us."

"And that would be...where?"

"To Nicole's. Ellsworth, Kansas." That was all he needed to hear. A smirk formed on the man's face; this was going to be easier than he thought.

"Are you sure about this, Zoey? I think you're blowing this way out of proportion." The teens had just stepped out of a taxi, and were walking through the airport, towards the terminal that led to the Reese's private jet.

"I am NOT," Zoey paused, trying to think up an excuse. "I was planning to visit Nicole during the summer, anyways." Chase responded to this with a sigh.

"Can't you just rethink this? I mean, think about it. As long as we STAY in PCA, we can warn everybody and they'll be able to spot Drew before he gets to us." Zoey thought about it for a bit, then finally, shook her head.

"First of all, like I said before, I was going to visit Nicole anyways. Second of all, not even a quarter of PCA is staying here for the summer. Even a few of the teachers are leaving. Nobody can be on watch 24/7."

"Come on, Zoe. What's the worst he can do?" Zoey put her finger to her chin in mock thought.

"He almost choked you to death." She pointed out bluntly as they stepped through the doorway of the aircraft.

"Gimme one ticket to Ellsworth, Kansas. The soonest flight you got."
Zoey and Chase exited the jet, and began walking through the airport. Zoey, as a look of excitement and realization dawned on her face, fumbled around for her cellphone and quickly dialed seven digits(A/N: Is it seven? I'm not sure if you guys have an area code in the USA like Canada does...)within seconds, a high pitched screech was heard coming from Zoey's five day old Motorola PEBL (Her and Chase had gone and bought her a new phone, seeing as her old RAZR had unfortunately collided with the wall).

"-SCREECH- Oh my god, Zoey, I haven't talked to you in like FOREVER! It's SO boring here, my sister-she doesn't go to PCA with us because she didn't want to be away from home or something like that, but seriously, she's like crazy, I mean, who wouldn't want to go to PCA, it's like the coolest school ever! It's got so many cute boys and like that awesome beach, and like so many cool stores on campus and so many cute boys- anyways, my sister, she's like SUPER depressed because her boyfriend broke up with her a couple of days ago, and you know, I don't do good with depressed people, they make me all depressed. If I get too depressed, I'll start being getting distracted from school because I'll be too busy like cutting myself or something and then I'll like fail all my classes and end up a hobo! Anyways, what's up?"

"Hey Nic. You wanna come to the airport? Me and Chase came to visit you!"

"-SCREECH...again- Oh my god, you're here in Kansas? Right now? Ok, Zoe! I'll be there in like fifteen! See ya!" Dial tone...Zoey closed her phone.

"Ok, so she said--" Zoey proceeded to repeat what Nicole said to Chase, but was cut off.

"Yea, I heard what she said," He stated, (mock) wincing as he brought his hand to his ear for effect. "How can you keep the phone to your ear the WHOLE time she's talking?"

"Ehh...You get used to it." There was a silence, and during that silence, Chase's 'inner Michael' came out.

Come on, Chase. This is the perfect time to tell Zoey.

I know. Shut up.

Do it now.

-Blinks-

NOW!

Alright, alright.

"Chase, are you ok?" During that mental debate, Chase was looking pretty...well, he didn't look like a normal person.

"Uh, yea. I'm fine." Silence. "Iloveyou!" Chase blurted out, and immediately after, mentally cursed himself.

"Huh?" It wasn't so much that she didn't understand what he said, far from it actually-a year of living with Nicole completely changes your life- she just wasn't sure she heard him correctly.

"Uh...I love you. You know, you're like my best friend...and...yea." He explained awkwardly as he rubbed the back of his neck.

"Ermm...Ok. I...love you too?" At this point, Zoey's face just SCREAMED confusion. (A/N: Then, there was the most awkward silence ever. You could cut the tension with a butter kni--

WILL YOU SHUT UP?

YOU SHUT UP!

Your mom.

Your face.

Your mom's face.

Damn you, shut the heck up!

-mutters- fine fine.

lol, ok. Sorry. I'm just a little hyper. Back to the story.)

For about the third time in five minutes, there was an awkward silence.

"Zoey, I--"

"Chase, I--" They both chuckled lightly.

"Zoe, you go."

"Nah, my thing isn't all that important. You go."

"You sure?" Zoey nodded.

"Ok. Well...it's occured...to me, that...I...I've never actually asked...you to, you know..." Zoey gave Chase a 'go on' look. "Wouldlyouliketobemygirlfriend?"

Zoey bit her lip. "Umm...Actually, Chase..."

(A/N: Ahahaha...Don't you just love when I do that? That was a fun chapter to write! But when I read it over it DID seem a little rushed. But I don't know how to fix that:P What do you think?

Ok, well back on topic; big, virtual chewy cookies and rubber duckies to all who review;)!!)
