Zoey dyed her hair red right before TDROTI because she didn’t want everyone to think she was some sheltered suburb kid. When Mike complimented her hair, she decided to keep it dyed.~
YES IT HELPS
After TDAS, Mike and Zoey decided they’d go to college together. The hard part was deciding where they would go. Mike was undecided on what he wanted to do. As they began the process of finding a school for them, Mike asked Zoey if she knew what she wanted to do.
She sheepishly confessed that she wanted to study psychology. Curious, Mike asked why. “Well, you’ve really opened my eyes, Mike. I mean, there’s a lot I don’t understand, especially when it comes to people. I never really thought about how so much can be going on behind the scenes with someone, like how you have multiple personalities. I want to learn more about psychological trends… I want to help people as best as I can. I want to be aware of what’s going on so I can be there for people.” she admitted, blushing all the while.
Mike and Zoey then looked high and low for the perfect school. They went to college fairs and spent hours together researching.
One night, Zoey stayed over at Mike’s house to fill out applications with her. She ended up falling asleep beside him on the couch. The next morning, Mike woke up before her, and wanted to surprise her. He attempted to make breakfast for them. Never being much of a cook, he tried his best to follow a simple waffle recipe. His mom wasn’t home to help, and somehow all he ended up making was a mess, and a stack of burnt crisps.
Zoey woke up when the smell of smoke filled the air. She rushed to the kitchen, worried that something bad had happened, only to find Mike cleaning up the mess, flustered and frustrated. Mike confessed that he had been trying to make them breakfast, but he kind of messed everything up. Touched by his effort, she then takes over, and teaches him how to make waffles like her mother taught her. They finish their college apps over a delicious breakfast.
A couple of months later, they’re in the same kitchen, but now Zoey is trying to show Mike how to make spaghetti. It’s become their Friday night date to make dinner together and watch movies at Mike’s house. Mike’s mom comes in with the mail, and an acceptance letter has arrived for Mike! Ecstatic, he quickly has Zoey call home, and sure enough, she got the same letter.
