A/N: I don't own Degrassi. I saw a screencap of Justin Kelly discussing Jatie during the Google Hangout and I was inspired. I think this is going to be a three shot. I'm not sure what's going to happen in this story… Just fun stuff, I suppose.
As for "A Chance Encounter" – if any of you are reading it, I'm a little stuck on the next chapter but I'm working on it.

December 30, 2013

Katie was the first to wake up since her internal clock was still set to school mode. She turned to her left to see Marisol's hair covering her face as she slept. On the other bed were Mo and Jake close to cuddling and she tried to suppress her laugh. She got up to use the restroom and prepared coffee for the others.

There was shuffling of bed sheets and Katie turned to see Jake stretching. They made eye contact and nodded. As he used the restroom, she tried to distract herself by looking out the window. Eventually, he joined her with a coffee cup of his own.

"This weather is nothing like Toronto, huh?" Jake mentioned.

Katie nodded, "It's nice not having to wear a million jackets when I step outside."

He laughed, "Oh man, I could definitely get used to this weather."

"I think San Francisco would suit you," she looked at him, "It's a relaxing environment, nice people, great places to eat."

"I'd only be an hour away from you," he commented.

"I wouldn't mind having a familiar face around," she said quietly.

Jake was silent for a moment and took a sip from his cup, "Maybe next year. It's kind of nice having the time off and helping my dad with the construction business. Also, I think Helen likes having me around since…"

"How… how is she?" Katie asked tentatively.

"Uh, as ok as you can get under the circumstances," he sighed, "You know, Eli took a semester off NYU to stay with Clare. Maybe they are the real deal."

She rested a hand on his arm, "She's a strong girl and she has a great support team. You're a good person, Jake."

He looked at her and smiled, "Why don't we wake those two up and get a real breakfast?"

Two hours later and the four of them settled into a cozy restaurant a few streets away from their hotel. The waitress took their orders and they started to discuss the agenda for today.

"Shopping!" Marisol spoke first.

Mo rolled his eyes, "I think you've done enough of that."

She bumped his shoulder, "Shopping for a dress for the New Year's Eve party the hotel is having tomorrow. I gotta look good for my man."

"Ooh, I'm sure you will," Mo leaned in for a kiss.

Katie and Jake rolled their eyes. He looked at his phone, "Well I want to check out the Ghirardelli shop and get some chocolates for Clare and Helen."

"Maya would probably want some too," Katie said, "Marisol, could you drop them off when you get back to Toronto?"

"Nah, I'll take them to her," Jake volunteered.

She looked at him in surprise, "Oh, thanks."

From the corner of her eye, she could see Marisol and Mo smiling widely at their interaction. The moment was interrupted as the waitress returned with their meals and they continued to discuss their plans for the day.

"Jake!" Katie's laughter could be heard along the sidewalk, "I think you we're only supposed to take one sample."

"It's not like they'll know," he tried to hide them in the Girardelli bag, "Besides, it's not all for me. It's for Mo."

She shook her head, remembering the cashier's odd look as Jake took multiple chocolate squares.

"Come on, we have to meet back up with Marisol," she led the way.

The walk started off pleasant until they started to realize that they had gotten a bit lost. Jake asked for directions and was also given the number of a man sporting a rather memorable hairdo. He tried to give Katie a look of "SOS" and she made her way to him.

"So if you and your friend are looking for an after party tomorrow night, call me," he gave Jake a flirty smile and walked away.

"Be careful, Mo might get jealous," Katie teased.

"Yep," Jake pushed his hair back, "I still got it."

"Ok, stud muffin, let's go. We were supposed to meet Marisol ten minutes ago," she took his arm.

He followed, "It's not my fault we got lost. I don't live here."

"Well it's not like I spend much time here either," she countered, "I'm usually on campus."

"Working and being a full time student," he recalled, "It must be tough."

"It helps working on campus," she responded, "They work with your schedule. Hopefully I can get a Student Assistant job next year, the pay is a little better."

"But it's all worth it, I bet," he smiled, "You seem really happy."

"I am," she smiled back, "I'm in a good place. I'm still figuring a few things out but I'm good."

"I'm proud of you, you know," he spoke candidly, "I guess a new environment was exactly what you needed."

She nodded, "I think so too, but I miss everyone. I'm worried about Maya and we barely spoke during Christmas, I feel like I don't know anything that's going on in her life."

He looked around to make sure they were going the right direction before speaking, "She's just going through teen girl stuff. You know what that's like."

She groaned, "And that's why I'm worried."

"Well maybe the chocolate delivery will help you get on her good side," Jake suggested, "It seems to work with Clare."

Katie chuckled, "You can't go wrong with chocolate."

The two of them continued on their path, arms still linked.

A/N: What did you all think? This was fun to write and I'm probably going to write the next chapter after posting this. Please review, I'd love to hear your thoughts!
