A/N: This story came about from several of my readers of my Cabbie one -shot Finally Love wanting to know more about this old bet that Beck and Jade had about their friends so it wasn't long before the thought stuck in my brain wanting to be told .

I'm not sure if there have been sequels to a one-shot before but that's what I'm calling this one and I hope you all enjoy .

Big thank you to Expressionsofawriter who helped me brainstorm this story along with the nudge to make it my first Tandre story as well . I appreciate it so much.

She's a wonderful writer and I encourage you all to rush right over and check out her Victorious Dreammakers of Hollywood , Miss You Most at Christmas , and dive right into her Icarly Idestroy .

Disclaimer ; I still don't own Victorious or it would still have a lot more seasons, be an hour long , 2hour movies , and more drama and romance than you can handle .

Andre Harris was bugging .

He might have even been bordering on the side of wonky and tripping out .

He blamed it on the fact that in their little circle of friends , Beck and Jade had just recently gotten back together and only two weeks ago, Robbie and Cat had finally admitted that they were in love with each other and were now a hand holding, kissing couple which left him and Tori in the awkward position.

Though if he were to be truthful about it , the thought of himself and Tori Vega weighed heavily on his mind and front and center .

More than usual, anyway .

He and Tori were best friends , always had been and always would be .

Most of the time Andre played it cool , hiding his feelings for Tori way down deep where she wouldn't be able to see them or in the words of a song , while other days being the best friend could be pretty much unbearable when he wasn't thinking 'only friendly 'thoughts about her .

Tori was a gorgeous girl and thinking about lame things like blue shampoo or his grandma wasn't doing much to help him with the wonk .

Which is why he was contemplating his thoughts on this typically boring afternoon at Hollywood Arts , he and Beck were sitting at their usual table at the Asphalt café debating on ordering pizza and wondering why the girls or Robbie hadn't joined them yet .

Andre swiveled his head to look at his friend ." When did you and Jade make this bet ?"

" Dude , its been two weeks since Jade brought that up ," reminded Beck, closing his book ," why do you even care ? It was a long time ago…I cant believe Jade even brought it up in the first place . I told you it was a while ago ..like a year even "

" It was after a Friday night concert and I think Jade was annoyed at Tori "

Andre chuckled ," Man, when isn't Jade annoyed at Tori "

" Good point ," replied Beck ," I was trying to talk to her about something ..important and I think jade was bored or something . Jade had theories …nothing more than that "

" Me and Tori . That's some pretty crazy chizz right there , Beck "

The laid back actor fixed him with a disbelieving look ." Is it ?"

" Of course it is " lied Andre , all the while sifting through the hundreds of pictures he had of himself and the pretty half Latina on his pear phone , his heart tripping all over the place .

" You've been into her since day one "

" I had barely met her then …really ! I was working with Trina back then for the big showcase "

" Like you didn't write Make it Shine for her " Beck wasn't fooled by his friends denial.

" You don't know what you're talking about , man " Andre put his phone away, ignoring the fixed look that his best friend was giving him , deliberately .

" I didn't even know Tori when I wrote that song ..it was just a song, dude "

Beck nodded , ever serious ." Fine so you wrote it for your dream girl who turned out to be Tori "

" You've been hanging around the girls too long , Beck," protested Andre ," you know there wasn't any girl back then and I never once said dream girl to you "

Robbie slid across the table from them and overheard there conversation .

" Hey guys ," chimed in a happy Robbie ," you know ,Andre , I seem to recall a mention of said dream girl when you were writing Tell Me that You Love Me "

Andre narrowed his eyes at his friend ." I only knew Tori for , what, like 2 months when I wrote that song which wasn't about her "

Beck and Robbie shared disbelieving looks .

" Where's Cat, Rob ? " inquired Beck ," you and Cat are usually attached at the hip these days "

" My girlfriend is working on finishing up her last project for her Advanced Costume Designs 2 at the moment ," explained Robbie ," Jade and Tori are with her "

He noticed how restless Andre seemed and was intrigued ," Why are we talking about Andre's songs for Tori ? "

" Andre is finally losing it " expressed Beck ,matter of fact ," he's in denial about his feelings for Tori "

" You need to stop doing this Zen crap, dude ," accused Andre," girls do that chizz . Look I guess I'm just curious about this so call bet that you and Jade made about all of us . Face it , Beck, that just isn't the kind of thing you and Jade do "

" What bet is that ?" inquired Robbie, who had been getting together with Cat and missed out on this juicy little tidbit at the Cow Wow about the aforementioned bet .

" Oh right , you were sweeping Cat off of her feet so you didn't here about it ," explained Andre ," Turns out that last year , Beck and Jade made this bet about all of us getting together "

" You mean, about me and Cat too ?"

Beck dragged a hand through his dark hair and knew they wouldn't let up on this until he told them about the stupid bet .

He wished that Jade were here to tell them about the damn thing since she had dredged it up in the first place .

He heaved a resigned sigh and turned calmly to his curly haired friend," Yes, Rob, you and Cat were included in the bet as well as Andre and Tori "

Andre leaned forward on his arms ," We're listening "

Silently cursing his girlfriend under his breath, Beck began," It was a year ago after the Friday Night Jam …"

A Year earlier

" Andre's song was amazing " announced Jade as she stepped into his Rv and plopped down on the bed, getting comfortable ," that was even better than the one we worked on together "

Beck knitted his brows together in confusion ." The song was good ," agreed Beck, casually ," but don't you think its weird that 365 Days wasn't the song that you helped him with Jade ?"

He knew Andre and there was just something about the song that had struck a chord within him that hinted that this new song had something to do with Jade .

A twinge of uncertainty and jealousy rattled around inside of him and he tried not to give them merit . Andre was his best friend and Jade was his girlfriend.

It was crazy to think that there was anything between them .

Jade rolled her eyes upwards ." No, " dismissed his girlfriend ," you know how Andre gets about his music . Vega is so clueless- yay ! "

Beck joined her on the bed and wrapped his arms around her ." Jade , you promised me you would at least try to be a little nicer to Tori "

She covered his lips with hers ." I have been being nice to her "

Before they could get more involved , Jade's cell went off alerting her of a text .

" Who texted you?" inquired Beck, lifting his eyes to her as he nuzzled her neck.

" Cat wants to know if we want to hang out with her and Robbie ," Jade quickly typed a response ," he's taking her for ice cream and no, we're not hanging with them "

" Talk about hopeless and clueless " Jade was in a thoughtful mood and wasn't to be derailed ," Cat sure got over being mad at Robbie over those stupid cutouts of her that he has …I don't actually think she was mad about them in the first place "

" I told Robbie that those make him creepy and scare off girls " sighed Beck, working on the buttons of her blouse ," why are we talking about them ?"

" Don't you think its interesting that Robbie and Cat came together tonight ?"

" They are good friends , Jade , and they hang out . Nothing interesting about that "

" You know , Robbie's in love with her but Cat just doesn't get it " decided Jade, who had analyzed them during the concert this evening ," do you remember that time that Rob thought he was in love with Trina ? Cat kissed him "

Beck groaned ," Babe , you don't like talking about our friends so I don't get why we're talking about them instead of making love ?"

She bent her head to tease her lips over his ." Andre's song got me thinking about things …..humor me, Beck "

" Fine so what is your point ? It was a stage kiss that made Rob decide he was madly in love with Cat ," Beck sat back to stare at her ," that was a long time ago. Robbie is my friend but I just don't think his thing for her is going to happen "

" You want to make a bet on that ?" Her blue green eyes danced with seriousness and seduction and he was a goner .

" You cant be serious , Jade ? Now I know that you have been hanging around Cat too long because this is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard of except for the time you sabotaged the prom for all of our friends "

" No, that was for Tori's benefit " stated Jade, wrapping her legs around his waist ," it'll be a really good bet , Beck "

He was intrigued and she was dangerous ." Cat's a sweet girl but I just cant see her and Robbie happening anytime soon . "

" Oh, it wont be soon ," scoffed Jade , ticking off facts on her fingers ," those two are super slow in the romance department . Cat doesn't know what she wants yet which is why she still dates wazbags who don't see her for who she is and Rob has no clue "

" Cat dates jocks. " pointed out Beck as this was obvious ," Rob is a nerd "

" Cat likes nerds and Rob gets her ," conceded Jade , matter of fact," she understands him too which is why she flirts with him like crazy. It'll take them at least a good year before they both get it together and before Cat admits to herself she has feelings for him …"

" You do know you're being ridiculous "

" You need some examples , oh wise Beck ?" Jade wove her fingers through his dark hair , her smile teasing ," how about the fact that I happen to know that the so called stage kiss meant something to Cat. She didn't talk about it except to bitch and moan over how silly Robbie was being at Trina and how annoyed she was …the girl is into him "

" If I agree with you , can we stop talking and have sex ?"

Jade arched a brow ," That's no fun , Beck, and I thought we could have a little fun with the bet …unless your not game ?"

" What did you have in mind ?"

" Hmmmm," Jade began working on his shirt ," I was thinking the loser gets to be my sex slave for a month …"

Present

" Wait ," interrupted Robbie , mildly offended ," you didn't think I stood a chance with Cat ? Beck, dude , I thought we are friends …I'm sort of hurt .."

Andre shot him a perturbed look," Shut up, Rob, we all had doubts about you and Cat at one time or another . Heck, I thought something might actually happen between you two when you guys were singing those bad news song and nothing , nada , no chizz . None of this is telling me how me and Tori fit into this stupid bet , Beck ?"

Beck heaved another sigh and sent Jade another text, willing her to fix this damn thing .

" Calm down, Robbie ," replied Beck, casually ," once I actually paid attention to you and Cat, I did see what Jade saw and I'm happy things have worked out with you and Cat . "

" Cat and Robbie are in love . We're all happy now what exactly do you mean about me and Tori ? " Andre was anxious and curious and idly wondering what would happen if he made his own romantic feelings known to Tori .

Would she freak out ?

Would she laugh ?

Was there ay chances , slim or otherwise , that she maybe felt the sparks between them ?

" That was complicated , man , and I don't think its something …I just think it couldn't hurt if you maybe told Tori how you feel about her " suggested Beck, not wanting to drag them accidentally into an argument and take any chances with their friendship .

" So, you lost the bet about Cat and Robbie ," deducted Andre , suspiciously ," and you don't want to give me a straight answer about this bet about me and Tori "

" Yes and I just think Jade should be the one to explain it to

you, Andre " stated Beck, feeling as if he was walking on that broken glass that Robbie was so fond of singing about ," its her bet, after all. I lost and really I'm cool with it "

" What do you have to do ?" interjected Robbie , curiously .

A slow grin found its way across his face ," Whatever Jade wants me to do "

" Man, you guys just don't get how this could complicate things with Tori " Andre put his head down on his arms ," the girl is smart but she has no clue about us and I thought my songs were pretty obvious "

" It would be cool if things worked out with you and Tori ," replied a serious Robbie ," then we could all hang out and go on dates together . Cat would love a triple date ! "

" That is just one of the many reasons why you and Cat are perfect for each other , Rob. I'm really sorry I had any doubts …"

" I need to know more about the bet , bro, or I'm gonna go force it outta Jade "

" She's backstage at the Black Box theater " encouraged Beck, helpfully ," have fun "

" Come on, dude , you're supposed to be my best friend ! You're my boy, my bro! "

" Which is why I think you should follow after mine and Robbie's example ," decided Beck, trying a new approach," man up and be honest with Tori about your feelings "

" I am more confident with Cat now and I feel really good about it "

" I needed to be honest with myself and Jade before her and I were able to start again "

" You guys are no help ! I'm gonna find Jade and make her tell me about the rest of this chizzin bet and …and I don't know what I'm going to do about Tori "

Having made up his mind once and for all and fighting his wonky , Andre headed towards the Black Box and hoped maybe the bet would give him the courage to risk his friendship with Tori and maybe , just maybe take a chance on love .
