Cut to ten years later, present day: On Friday 18th September 2015, whilst Chase was about to propose to his girlfriend Alyssa (Jamie Snow), his BFF Michael (Chris Massey) came bursting through the door in true Michael fashion, hootin' and hollerin' at Chase. Michael explained he "flew to California, rented a shovel, went to PCA and dug" up the time capsule himself. He then proudly handed Chase Zoey's DVD...
"Zoey 101" creator Dan Schneider teased fans on Twitter on Friday, saying he had something he couldn't wait to share with everyone.
There's quite the fun little surprise coming today. I'm smiling just thinking about the reaction. Stay tuned, y'all... ;)

And now, I wanna tell you about one of the most special people I’ve ever met. His name is Chase Matthews. And he’s one of the funniest, coolest, nicest guys in the world. Sometimes, I kinda think he has a little crush on me, but other times, I kinda think he just wants to be friends. All I know for sure is, Chase is really special to me, and who knows, maybe he's even my soulmate.
