A/N: Another anon prompt I've been putting off for a while, but since I got writer's block on both other stories I'm writing, this one was born. This one was very fun to write, as I absolutely love when bad things happen to Beck. In the humorous aspect anyway, I'm not that sadistic...
Prompt: Jade and Beck make a bet that that they can each propose to their respective girlfriends before the other. The stakes are; if Jade loses, she can't have the Scissoring wedding she wanted, if Beck loses, he has to wear a dress for his wedding and take the Vega name.
"Mommy!" Trina suddenly heard her youngest trot into the kitchen calling for her attention.
Trina turned around and saw her son Jack holding a photograph of her and Beck's wedding day, "Mommy why is Mom in a dress? I thought only girls wore dresses?"
She berated Jade once more in her mind as she sighed and knelt down to her son's level, "Because Jack, Aunt Jade is an evil bi- witch."
He tilted his head to the side in confusion, "Aunt Tori said it was your fault."
Silently cursing her sister, Trina took the picture from her son, "Come on into the living room and I'll tell you that oh-so-wonderful story."
"Yay! Story time!"
With her son settled in her lap, she began the depressing tale of her 'wife' Beck.
Flashback
Jade and Beck were in the midst of their fourth read-through of the script they were paired to perform for their acting class. At three in the morning and through six cups of coffee, only counting Jade's, the two were about to pass out from exhaustion.
"Ugh, no more!" Jade grumbled, leaning her head back against the wall and nearly falling asleep.
Though he was about out himself, Beck was still standing, "Come on, Jade. We got to get this done."
Jade reluctantly got up and went to go get herself another cup of coffee, "You know, you act as if you can stay awake longer than I can. I'm exhausted but I'm not dead, cut me some slack, man."
"Then let's go Wonderwoman. Get this done and you can go back to your apartment and sleep."
"That's Batwoman to you, bucko."
Beck rolled his eyes, "I truly feel bad for Tori."
"Oh?" Jade said, raising an eyebrow.
"To think she might marry you someday, then she'll have to deal with you all the time."
"Might?"
He shrugged, "I don't know where you two stand."
Jade laughed, "We're stood in a better place than you and Trina."
"Oh really?"
"Yes, really."
Beck rubbed his chin and thought for a moment, "Want to make a bet?"
"Depends, how much money are you interested in losing?" Jade replied with her signature smirk.
He crossed his arms over his chest, "No money."
Jade took on a confused expression, "Why would I want to then?"
"How about you hear me out, then judge?"
"Go for it," Jade said, sitting down in his desk chair and spinning around, having too much fun.
"I bet I can propose to Trina and get her to say yes, before you can propose to Tori and get her to say yes."
She gave Beck her best icy glare, "That's cute, 'cause you know I have NO MONEY!"
"You don't need any."
Jade gave him an 'are you stupid?' face, "On what planet can you propose without a goddamn ring?!"
Beck gave her a challenging look back, "Did your grandmother not give you her engagement ring?"
"Would she even like that?"
He rolled his eyes, "Come on, Jade, you're her girlfriend, you should know about her love for all kinds of old stuff."
"Ugh, my brain shut off hours ago."
"So is it a bet or what?"
Jade sighed, "What're the stakes?"
He thought for a while, "If you lose, you can't have a Scissoring wedding."
"You're just plain sadistic. If we're playing that way, then if you lose, you're wearing a dress at your wedding."
"And you say I'm sadistic."
Jade took on an evil grin, "Oh, you have no idea. You'll also be changing your last name to Vega, instead of Trina changing hers to Oliver."
Beck sighed, "Note to self, don't make bets with Jade West when she's tired and cranky."
End of Flashback
Jack had his hands folded under his chin as he listened with rapt attention.
"You see, Aunt Jade and…Mom," Trina cringed every time she had to say that, "had to stay up pretty much all night working on rehearsing that script, and in their sleep deprived minds, they thought that bet would be a brilliant idea. Well, it was, but only for Aunt Jade. I know it was for Aunt Tori, but she won't admit that."
"So how did Mom lose?" Jack asked.
"Well…"
Flashback
"So how are we gonna do this?" Jade asked as she sipped her coffee and continued to proofread her script.
"Trust, I guess. Just say the time you proposed and if she said yes, and see who got it first."
Without looking up, Jade replied, "Cool, so where're you going?"
"Out to dinner, that Italian place over on South Grand," Beck replied before he shoveled another spoonful of pudding into his mouth.
"Fancy."
Beck looked back to her, "What're your plans?"
She shrugged, "Staying home, not into the whole public thing when it comes to that."
"Too late to add another rule?"
"What's on your mind?"
"Bet doesn't start at least until we get to the restaurant."
Jade thought for a moment, "Fair enough."
End of Flashback
"But that sounds fair… How could he lose?"
Trina sighed, "Mommy didn't have the best attention span back then."
Flashback
18:25
Beck and Trina arrived at the restaurant, and were soon ushered to their reserved table in the back. As Trina was busy looking through the menu, Beck took out his phone and sent a text to Jade.
18:27 - Just seated. Bet starts now.
Beck knew he had to hurry, knowing Jade; she was gonna immediately go balls to the wall and beat him. This in mind, soon after they ordered, Beck looked to Trina, "Hey, Trina, can I ask you something?"
"Hold that thought! I think my mascara is running!" Trina said before hauling ass to the bathroom.
He facepalmed, knowing he was doomed now.
Back at Jade and Tori's apartment
18:27
"You know, I really hate 'The Notebook'," Jade said, just as her phone buzzed from a text.
Tori rolled her eyes at the all too familiar statement, looking back at the TV and not noticing the devilish smirk on Jade's face.
Jade put her phone away and looked to Tori, poking her side, "Hey, Tori. Tori, hey."
"Can I help you?"
"Yes, actually. Wanna make out?" Jade asked with an amused grin.
Tori raised an eyebrow in confusion, "What?"
"Did I stutter?"
"You really will do anything to get out of watching 'The Notebook', won't you?" Tori said as she pushed Jade down, climbing on top of her and kissing her.
Jade gave her best innocent look, "If that's what you want to believe."
Tori opted not to answer, just continuing the passionate kiss as Jade wrapped her arms around her. As Tori shifted slightly, she felt something protruding from Jade's pocket, and looked at her in confusion, "What in the hell is in your pocket?"
"Beats me."
"Yeah, cause it's not like it's your pocket," Tori muttered as she reached down into Jade's pocket to see what it was, her confusion level increasing dramatically as she pulled out a little box.
"…Why?"
Jade just shrugged, barely suppressing a smirk. Tori rolled her eyes and opened it, gasping at the intricate diamond ring, "Oh my god, this is beautiful."
"Yeah, I figured you'd like it."
Tori was confused again, "It looks like an engagement ring though."
"I know."
"Good god, Jade, you're going to decimate my brain if you keep giving me these mixed signals."
Jade had to grin now, "I mean if you want it…"
She frowned at Jade and Jade laughed, giving her a kiss, "Yes, it's for you. Yes, it's an engagement ring. And I really hope you like it, 'cause I'd be pretty stoked if you'd marry me."
"Damn, even your proposal is just like you. Of course I'll marry you," Tori said before leaning down to kiss Jade again.
Jade couldn't help but smile, glancing over at the clock on the TV, seeing it was 18:36, she looked back to Tori, "Hey, can I get a picture of that?"
"Why?" Tori asked as she admired the new ring on her finger.
"Just cause."
Tori was skeptical, but let her anyway, after that she didn't have enough time to send it to Beck, as she quickly found herself laying back down on the couch with Tori on top of her. About 15 minutes later her phone went off again. She took it out of her pocket and put it on the table, ignoring it until later.
A few hours later when Tori had fallen asleep, Jade checked her phone and saw a picture message from Beck. Along with a picture of Trina's engagement ring was his text.
18:55 - 18:52, She had to go fix her makeup first…
Jade had to laugh as she typed her reply along with the picture of Tori's ring.
22:42 - 18:36, we'll go pick out your dress tomorrow.
End of Flashback
"To be fair, my mascara was running!" Trina hopelessly defended herself to her son, who didn't understand in the slightest.
Just then the front door opened and the one person who caused it all walked in, followed by the one who acts as if she doesn't think the first one's actions are amusing.
Jack hopped off of Trina's lap and ran over to Jade, jumping at her and hugging her. "Hey, Trina, I think your kid likes me."
"You love Jack, don't even try to deny it," Tori said.
"Aunt Tori!" A high pitched voice emanated from the hallway as a little girl ran out and hugged Tori. Jade just put her hands over her ears, "Oh god that kid sounds just like Trina."
Gracie, Beck and Trina's daughter, pulled away from her hug with Tori, "Where are Chris and Amelia?"
Jade groaned, "Taking forever and a half to get here! Probably still in the car screwing around."
"You are such a loving mother," Trina said to Jade.
She smiled back at Trina, "So is your wife."
Chris and Amelia finally walked in, looking rather hostile towards each other. Jade rolled her eyes and stepped in before anyone got hurt, "You're both wrong, so chill down and let it go!"
Amelia took refuge in Tori's embrace as Chris just sulked near Jade. They had their favorites when it came to comfort and parents.
Beck finally came out from his office, and Jade gave him the usual greeting, "Hey Becky."
He just sighed and shook his head, looking back to his wife, "What're you up to?"
Jack answered for her, "Mommy was telling me about how you lost a bet!"
Beck cringed at that and Jade laughed, while Tori barely suppressed a grin.
"Did you tell him about how beautiful Becky boy was on his special day?" Jade asked, looking back to Trina.
"Jade, don't you dare!" Jade put up her hands in a surrender fashion, and when Trina looked away, Jade mouthed "Later" to Jack.
Sure enough, later on when Trina and Beck were out on a date for their anniversary, Jade retrieved the little boy for one of her favorite stories.
Flashback
"Oh please tell me you're kidding."
"It fits you so well!"
"Men are not supposed to have curves!" Beck continued to protest.
Jade smirked, "Ah, but for today you're to appear womanly."
"I hate you so much."
Jade just grinned as she looked back at Beck in the mirror, kitted out with his wedding dress, corset, earrings, lipstick, heels, and his very own veil. "You so purty."
"I will curse mascara until the day I die," Beck mumbled as he walked out.
End of Flashback
"Your mom was so good lookin' that day." Jade said with a huge amused grin.
Tori shook her head, "This is why they don't invite us over, Jade."
"And this is also why the kids love me!"
A/N: Sucks to suck eh Beck? Jori always prevails, this is what you get for doubting that.
So yeah, message to all girls; if your boyfriend or girlfriend says he/she needs to ask you something during dinner, don't go and bolt to the bathroom to fix your makeup, because this might happen.
Honestly though, this was a good one. I enjoyed it, hope you guys did too. Leave a review and let me know your thoughts!
Also, the 'Italian place over on South Grand' is real, took me about all of 2 minutes to figure that out, so creds there.
