Thank you guys for the reviews!
Well, unfortunately I start school on Tuesday and I wanted to finish the story by then but that's probably not going to happen! So I'll try to write when I can on the weekends (cuz I probably won't be able to write on school day cuz I'm in school until 5) and I'll try to update. But I'm warning you it may be a while before I update again. I mean there are only 2-4 chapters left (I think) and maybe I'll be able to dedicate a whole day to writing but it is hard for me to write at my house because I am a closet writer!
Well just be on the look out for updates and please stay interested in the story!!
Since this may be my last chapter for a while I gave you guys a long one (it's 6 pages on my computer, which is longer than my usually 2-3 page chapters) and I hope you guys think it has a good ending!
Well here it is, part six of HOT COCO:
(Note: if people don't understand the last words of the chapter there's a "translation/explanation" at the bottom with a star next to it!)

Episode 5 (part 6): Hot Coco
Quinn closed the door behind her and put her back directly against it.
"How'd it go?" Zoey asked. She had been sitting on her bed reading a magazine before Quinn walked in.
"Ohhh," Quinn moaned as her back slid down the door so that she was now sitting.
"I'm guessing, not so good," Zoey said.
"I didn't tell him," Quinn whispered.
"What?"
"I didn't tell him," Quinn said again this time so that Zoey could hear her.
"What?!" Zoey outbursted.
Quinn moaned again. "I just couldn't."
"Why not?" Zoey asked.
"Because," Quinn said as she stood up, "because he has plans."
"Plans?"
"Yes, plans." Quinn paused for a moment as she thought about Logan's plans. "Wonderful, amazing, heart-pounding-scares-me-to-death plans."
"Like what?" Lola asked. Quinn turned around. She hadn't noticed that Lola had been sitting right behind them. Lola got up and joined Zoey and Quinn on Zoey's bed.
Quinn proceeded with what she was saying, "Well, he already designed our house, and he knows that we're going to have two kids, Matt and Jenna, unless there are more that he didn't tell me about. Plus-he knows what their hobbies are going to be, and probably more."
"Wow," Lola exclaimed.
"What?"
"Well, nothing, it's just that if Vince had planned out our lives together already, then I'd be kinda mad! I mean, I don't get a say in how many kids I'm going to have?"
"You know you can't actually predict that. I mean you may think that you're having one child but end up having quintuplets."
"No Quinn, only you would havequintuplets," Lola laughed at her own remark.
"Lola cut it out!" Zoey said, "This is serious. Although she does have a point," Zoey said to Quinn.
"What? About me
having quintuplets?" Quinn asked.
"No, about Logan planning
out your lives." Quinn thought about it. "I mean if Chase had
planned out our lives together, then I would kinda feel pressured,"
Zoey said.
"Yeah but you and Chase aren't engaged," Quinn explained.
"And you're not
supposed to be either!" Quinn sighed. "I mean, you're engaged
in high school. And Logan has already planned out the next 50 years
of your life…doesn't that scare you?"
"Oh my God you're
right," Quinn said as she began bury her face in her hands. "I
mean when he says "let's get married, let's have kids, let's
start a family softball team!""
"He wants to start a
softball team?" Lola questioned.
"No, that's not the point," Quinn sighed. "What I mean is, whatever he says always sounds so simple and unrealistically wonderful. But then when you guys say what he says it's like reality just comes crashing down upon it! And it's not simple! It's scary and stressful, and confusing and-oh my God I can't breathe," Quinn started to hyperventilate.
"Lola get a bag!" Zoey yelled.
Lola handed Quinn the bag, soon after her breathing started to go back to normal.
"I'm just so confused now-oh!" Quinn moaned, "3.1415926-"
"Uh Quinn, what are you doing?" Lola asked.
"Reciting pie, it calms me-535 897," Quinn went on reciting.
"Look, Quinn," Zoey said, "you have to promise that you're going to tell Logan that the engagement is off, otherwise you're just going to go through the rest of high school-"
"-Reciting pie," Lola interrupted.
"Exactly," Zoey agreed. "Now, do you promise that you're going to tell Logan?"
Quinn took the bag away from her face and said, "I promise…9323846."
Ever since that day Zoey and Lola had only experienced Déjà vu of Quinn saying "I promise." She always came in the same way saying how she couldn't tell Logan, and the conversation always ended with her saying "I promise." Day after day this went on for two weeks, until finally it reached the day if Coco's wedding.
'Knock knock' Michael and Chase knocked on the girls' door.
"Come on in," Lola said.
"Whoa-ho-ho! Somebody looks pretty in their bridesmaid dress," Michael exclaimed.
"Why thank you," Lola said happily, "You don't look to bad yourself," she teased Michael who was wearing a tux. Coco's wedding was in just a few short hours and the gang was getting ready for the big event.
Zoey then walked out from the bathroom wearing her bridesmaid dress.
"Gawuh…" Chase muttered. He was astounded by Zoey's beauty in her dress.
"What was that Chase?" Zoey asked
"I believe that was Gawuh," Michael said, "In Chase language that means 'I can't believe my girlfriend is Zoey Brooks." Michael turned towards Chase and jokingly bat his eyelashes at him and said in his highest voice, "My girlfriend is so dreamy!"
Chase pushed Michael aside and walk towards Zoey. "You look," but Chase couldn't finish his sentence, he couldn't think of the right word.
"Gawuh," Zoey suggested.
"Exactly," he said. They then shared a small kiss, which was unfortunately ruined by Michael "ooh-ing" in the background.
Then Quinn walked into the room wearing her bridesmaids dress.
"Hey guys," she said.
"Wheet-woo" Michael said.
"What's that?" Zoey asked.
"That's me whistling," he explained.
"That's not whistling," Chase said, "That sounds like an electric toy dying."
Michael's lower lip started quivering as he got all upset. "Oh!" Michael cried, "You know I can't whistle!" Michael said in an upset tone. "Hold me," he said upsetly as he went to go hug Lola.
Quinn smiled slightly as she rolled her eyes. "You know Logan would kill you for "whistling"," she said, "By the way, where is Logan?" Quinn asked.
"Oh, he's looking in his mirror," Chase explained.
"You mean he's checking if he needs to change or something?"
"No, I mean that he's physically examining his face in the mirror."
Zoey then pulled Quinn to the side. "So, um, did you talk to him yet?"
"No, um, not yet," Quinn said shyly.
"Quinn!"
"I know, I know, I said I would, but I absolutely promise that I'm going to tell him tomorrow."
"Tomorrow?!"
"Well I can't tell him today! He's going to be surrounded by the festivities of the wedding which is only going to make him think of our wedding."
"Yeah but the longer you put off telling him, the more he thinks about your wedding and starts dreaming about your life together, and that will just make it harder to tell him cuz the bigger his dreams get, the harder it is to say no."
Quinn sighed. "…Yeah, you're right," she agreed. "Alright I absolutely promise that I will tell Logan today."
A few minutes before Coco's wedding
Quinn all of a sudden grew very nervous. She hadn't seen Logan all day, she knew that if she didn't see him soon she would chicken out of telling him that their engagement was off. 'Oh! Who would have thought that being with Logan would make life more complicated!' Quinn thought. She was standing in the hall just waiting for the music to play so that she could walk down the aisle. She knew that Logan was at the other end of the aisle, standing next to Carl, being one of his groomsmen…Carl didn't have a lot of friends. She knew that once she saw his face she'd remember the promise that she made. The music began to play.
"Bridesmaids go!" the wedding coordinator said.
Quinn got behind Zoey and began to walk.
'I promise. I promise.' Quinn kept saying in her head to remind herself. 'I promise. I promise. I promise.' The corner to the other end of the aisle where Logan was standing was getting closer. 'I promise. I promise. I promise.' She was just a few steps away from it. 'I promise. I promise.' And then, she turned the corner, and saw his. Once she saw his face all she could think of was the promise she made to Logan, to marry him. And how she promised to love him forever. And all of a sudden she was ready. Just as Quinn approached Logan, both of them had a gleaming smile on, she whispered to herself, "I promise."

Tada! I hope you guys liked it!
Please Read & Review!
(The last "I Promise" is Quinn stating that she's keeping her promise to Logan. It's not her promise to Zoey. It's her promising/saying that she's ready to get married! Yay!)
