It's the first day back to Hollywood Arts from winter break, and Robbie and Rex are running late.

Robbie blames Rex for hitting the snooze button over and over way too many times, but it's okay. It was his fault for keeping them up so late, fawning over every single one of Cat's videos on The Slap—again.

"Hey!" Rex yells as Robbie picks him up from the kitchen counter and starts for the door. "I wasn't finished eating my oatmeal!"

"There's no time!" Robbie snaps back, opening the door and kicking it shut with his foot.

"Aw, man! Now I won't function properly without my nutritional breakfast!"

"Tough luck!"

Robbie unlocks his mom's car and throws his bag in the backseat. He places Rex on the passenger seat, buckling him up. He then buckles his own seatbelt and begins the drive to school. If he doesn't hit any red lights, they'll only be five minutes late.

Of course he hits every red light on the way, so classes are already fifteen minutes in.

"Robbie and Rex! How lovely for you two to join us!" Sikowitz says, his voice boisterous as usual. He hops off the stage, leaving Beck and Tori to fend for themselves in front of the class. "Go on and have a seat, for we are about to view these two fine student performers execute an improv scene. So exciting!"

Robbie drops his bag next to his chair and plops down, sitting Rex on his lap.

"Robbie, give us a setting!"

"Football game," Rex says.

"Hey!" Robbie pouts. "I was going to say football game."

"Tough nuts," Rex replies.

"Okay, football game!" Sikowitz turns to Jade. "Jade, give Tori and Beck an identity."

"Friends," Jade says, stressing on the word. "Just friends."

Tori rolls her eyes.

"Okay, we have friends at a football game. Let's have a conflict!" Sikowitz bounces around before pointing to Cat. "Miss Valentine! If you will?"

Cat blinks. "Will what?"

"Give our peformers a conflict."

"Oh!" Cat smiles before it turns to a frown. "Unrequited love."

"I said just friends!" Jade yells.

"Hence why it'd be unrequited romance, Jade," Sikowitz says with a sigh. He looks to Beck and Tori. "All right my little sunshines, you two are friends at a football game, but one of you is in love with the other. But there's a twist I want to add! Tori you're the boy! And Beck! You are the lovely girl! Ha! So exciting!"

"May we start?" Tori asks, raising an eyebrow.

Sikowitz nods. "And action!"

Beck and Tori step closer to each other.

"I have to say," Tori starts gruffly, voice low, intently staring at the wall as if spectating, "I really appreciate you inviting me to this game."

"Yeah, well, I know how much you love the visiting team," Beck says in a high voice, smiling a little. It drops into a frown, a moment later. He turns to Tori. "I'm surprised you came actually."

"Oh, come on!" Tori yells at the wall, arms in the air. "How can you drop that pass! He practically handed it to you, man!"

Beck purses his lips. "Ooookay."

Tori glances at Beck for a second and then continues to keep her eyes on the wall. "I'm sorry, what were you saying?"

"I said that I was surprised you came."

"What? Why?" Tori asks, still not looking at Beck.

"Well, the kiss..."

Tori slaps a hand to her forehead, her shoulders hunching. "Oh, jeez."

"I'm sorry if it still upsets you, but I really need to talk to you about this. It's been bugging me-"

"No, it's not that," Tori interrupts, lifting her head. She points to the wall. "The quarterback just got sacked."

Beck's gaze follow to where Tori's finger is pointing. "Oh, is that bad?"

"Uh huh. They're on defense now." Tori straightens up and finally turns to Beck. "So, you were saying?"

"The kiss," Beck repeats. He nibbles his bottom lip before continuing. "I haven't stopped thinking about it."

Tori's eyes widen. "I thought we weren't going to talk about it?"

"I know, but I can't hide how I feel anymore," Becks confesses, placing a hand on Tori's arm. "Somewhere a long the way I realized that I love-"

Robbie jumps as Cat abruptly gets up from her chair with a whimper and runs out of the classroom. Everyone stares at the door, when Tori jumps off the the stage and runs after Cat.

"What in the name of Nancy?" Rex asks, looking at Robbie.

"Shapiro!" Sikowitz calls out.

"Sir?"

"Can you please go retrieve Tori and Cat, please? There's still half the period left in class."

"I'm surprised you know or even care about this," Jade says, "since it's usually us that's telling you something along those lines."

"Ah, Jade. Always a gank, aren't you?"

Jade scowls.

Robbie gets up and begins to walk out, when Sikowitz shouts his name.

"Yes?"

"Leave Rex. I think he'll really benefit from the next exercise: Silent Acting."

"Don't leave me!" Rex begs.

Robbie hesitates, but places Rex on the chair. "I'll be right back."

As he leaves, Robbie looks around the hallway for any sign of his two friends. He begins to walk, heading for the main hall. He hears them before he turns a corner. He halts, listening.

"Cat!"

"No!"

"Would you just listen!"

"Leave me alone, Tori!"

"Hey, don't make me drag you into the janitor's closet again!"

"I don't want to talk to you!"

Robbie tiptoes to the corner where the hallway branches off to all the first floor lockers. He pokes his head out, seeing Cat against Tori's locker, her head tuck into a shoulder as if she just wants to disappear.

"Cat," Tori says a bit more calmly, standing in front of the other girl. "Cat, please."

"I said I don't want to talk to you!" Cat yells, straightening up to her height. She steps to the left, which Tori copies. Cat steps to the right, which Tori matches again. Cat shifts to the left, which Tori moves for, but Cat quickly pivots to the right, catching the brunette off guard. Cat starts to walk away.

"Okay, fine! You don't want to talk?"

Robbie leans out further, watching Tori sprint over to Cat and spin her around, pulling her into a kiss. The redhead slips her arms behind Tori's neck, bringing the two closer as Cat reciprocates the lip lock wholeheartedly if her gasps are anything to go by.

And then it hits Robbie, his jaw dropping and his glasses fogging up.

Tori and Cat are kissing.

His crush, Cat. Kissing. Oh, God!

"No!" Robbie mouths. He steps away from his hiding spot to interrupt, but the next words stop him.

"I really do love you, Tori," Cat says between breaks of her lips against Tori's. "I know this wasn't our deal, but—"

"Cat," Tori cuts her off, pressing another heated kiss to Cat. She pulls back and grins. "It's okay. I mean, I'm not quite there yet, but if you can be patient—I want this. I want this more than I think I've ever wanted anything."

And then, Robbie sees Cat's smile, the one that always springs up when the sun is perfect or when her favorite song plays on the radio. The one that always knocks the air out of his lungs. The one that he's always wanted directed at him for once. He spins around and heads back to class with the intent on lying to Sikowitz that he couldn't find the two girls.

It's their problem if they miss anything.
