I'm trying out a new fandom here! This one is a show that I've loved since I was a kid, it's CYBERCHASE! One of my first OTPs was Matt and Inez and it feels so good to finally write something for these two cyber-detectives! Actually...it'll be a bunch of shorts for these two! I always thought that they'd make a great couple. As always, this is just the work of a fan here! ROLL IT!


It had been about six months since the Cybersquad took down Hacker's Transformatron. With an assist from Slider's dad, Coop, Hacker's biggest plan to take over Cyberspace had been foiled. Thanks to his contributions, Slider had been named the 4th member of the Cybersquad. Not only that, but Coop had actually worked with Motherboard to get Slider into the same school that Matt, Jackie and Inez were in so that he wouldn't be separated from his friends.


We now see Slider and Matt at Matt's locker...where the 12 year old leader of the Cybersquad is dealing with some 'guy issues'.

"Chill, Matt!" Slider implored, putting a hand on Matt's shoulder. "Now...what's the sitch, dude?"

"Let's see...I finally realized that I'm in love with Inez, I want to ask her out but I'm afraid that I'll totally blow it!" Matt told Slider.

Slider chuckled "Don't freak out, dude. Remember that 'Ned's Declassified' episode on asking someone out?"

"I think I skipped that one."

"Well, I didn't. In it, Ned tries to get up the courage to ask out Suzie Crabgrass. One of the tips in that episode is to practice what you're gonna say and find a good place to say it. You're bound to get nervous if you fly blind and when you get nervous, you freeze up. Trust me on this one, Matt. I know first-hand. I got nervous myself when I asked out Jackie."

Matt chuckled "I know...now look at you two! You've been dating half a year now..."

"Take it from me, Matt...don't get nervous, stay calm...you got this," Slider assured his friend.

Matt smiled "Thanks, Sly. Come on, we better get to gym class pronto or Coach Halder will have a cow!"

"And I don't want to relive any of that!"


Later that day, in the schoolyard...

We see Slider preparing Matt for the task at hand - asking out Inez.

"Ready, Matt?"

"As I'll ever be, Sly. I just have this to ask..."

"Shoot, Matt."

"Why am I getting the feeling I've been dragged into an episode of 'Andi Mack'?"

"Probably because you've been watching it with Inez. Also, I've heard her say that she thinks you look like the guy who plays Jonah Beck - Asher Angel."

Hearing this caused Matt to slap his head in disbelief. "Can't believe she said that, Sly..."

"Dude, she wants you! Now go out there and get the girl!"

After flashing a thumbs up at Slider, Matt charged out in search of his girlfriend-to-be.


Meanwhile, with Jackie and Inez...

"Are you absolutely sure that Matt's gonna ask me out?" Inez asked her best friend.

"Girl, it's all but a foregone conclusion. Matt's had a thing for you since we first got sucked into Cyberspace! I even caught him practicing what he was going to say so he wouldn't freeze up," Jackie told Inez.

"Gosh, Matt was really buggin' out..."

"More so than Andi when Jonah asked her out. You've always said that Matt looks like Asher Angel, the guy who plays Jonah Beck on 'Andi Mack'...which, by the way, is our favorite show!"

Inez scoffed "Don't remind me...just makes it all the more nerve-racking."

"Don't freak out, Inez...just be the kind, sweet, smart girl that we know Matt loves."

Inez hugged Jackie "Thanks, Jax!" She then spotted Matt on the vacant soccer field "There he is! MATT!"


That voice...Matt would know it anywhere. "Nezzie!" he called out, hugging Inez.

"Aw, Matt! You know what I've said about calling me that..."

Matt giggled, blushing hard "Sorry about that. Anyway..."

"So...Jackie told me you wanted to ask me something..." Inez cut him off.

Matt smiled, taking Inez's hand. "I do. Throughout our adventures, we've had our share of highs and lows. But through all of it, there's been one person that's been there for me...and that's you, Inez. If anything happened to you, I wouldn't know what to do, I wouldn't be able to forgive myself if the unthinkable happened. What I'm trying to say is...Inez Maria Garcia, will you be my girlfriend?"

Inez giggled then pounced on Matt, kissing him hard on the lips "You have no idea how long I've waited for you to ask me that, Matthew Ryan Quinlan," she whispered in his ear.

"I love you so much, Nezzie…"

"I love you too, Mattster…only you and Slider can call me 'Nezzie' now."

Little did the new couple know, Slider and Jackie were watching the whole thing.

"Well, it's about time!" Jackie cheered.

"We always knew that they'd be a great couple..." Slider said as Matt and Inez walked behind them, still in mid-makeout.


Well now...first 'Cyberchase' short, first Matt/Inez short...and I've got plenty more to come, so STAY TUNED!
