So this is set during/after "Wi-Fi In the Sky," which is by far one of my favorite episodes just because it's so funny. (Literally – I laughed so hard when Sinjin was in Jade's house. And at the cheerleader). It's written, as always, in third person, but the omniscient character shifts between Beck and Jade.

Also, just an FYI – this is by far one of the longer chapters I'll write. There was a lot of material here, so I just wrote what I felt like, but in general, chapters are going to be a lot shorter than this. Regardless – enjoy!

The first thing Beck noticed was that Jade looked hot even over video chat. Unfortunately, there were two things wrong: one, he had a project to and couldn't afford to be distracted, and two, she was also in a bad mood which, unbeknownst to both of them, was about to get worse.

"His neighbor, the cheerleader." Andre's gleeful voice cut through their video chat.

"Cheerleader?" Jade asked icily, without a trace of humor.

Beck closed his eyes in exasperation. "Why? Why would you say that?"

Andre muttered an apology, but it was too late. Despite Cat's cheerful attempts to diffuse the tension ("You know what cheerleaders have? Pep." "Pep?" "Did she say pep?"), Beck watched Jade's eyes narrow and knew that she wasn't going to let this new piece of information slide. He had known that she would be grumpy after he hadn't returned her call, but now that the "cheerleader" had been mentioned, her obvious jealousy was only going to make it worse.

"Why are you doing favors for a cheerleader, and what is she doing for you?" Jade's cutting voice killed any response that Cat might have had.

Beck sighed inwardly. "It's not what you think, she's just—" he began, but Jade cut him off.

"I'm coming over there." And despite Beck's attempts to placate her, she tossed her head and cut out of the chat.

Beck restrained himself from groaning, but closed his eyes once again in annoyance, turning his head slightly. This was going to be a long night.

He had known the minute he'd heard the knocking. As Jade's shrill voice rang out, he didn't even flinch, only sighed in frustration. This so was not the time.

"Open the door!" Beck saw Tori's eyes widen in surprise as Jade's voice pierced the air.

"Is that Jade?" Tori asked incredulously.

Beck sighed. "Yeah." In a louder, slightly irritated voice, he called, "I'm busy working on a project!" At least the door was locked. Normally he would have been mildly amused by the scenario, but they really had to get this script written and he wasn't about to sacrifice his grade just because Jade was in another one of her jealous rages.

"I need to talk to you!"

He shrugged. "Sorry," he responded nonchalantly. "Door's locked." He almost grinned to himself, imagining her reaction. He wasn't going to let her in unless she agreed to calm down.

The words had barely left his mouth when he heard a crunching of metal. The door to his RV swung open and Beck rolled his eyes. Of course she had managed to open the door. She was Jade West.

He paused a moment, trying to figure out an appropriate response. "And now it's not locked," he continued, his voice betraying his annoyance.

"She has a key?" asked Tori, and Beck almost laughed at the surprised look on her face. Oh, Tori. Like Jade needed a key to get where she wanted.

"No, she has a foot," he answered. Truthfully, he wasn't particularly angry that Jade had broken down the door, nor was he surprised. But it would have been nice if, for once, Jade could have kept her cool and let him explain, instead of flying off the handle. Like always.

He heard Jade stomp up behind him. "What is going on?" she demanded, hands on her hips.

He responded indignantly. "You just kicked my door open!"

She ignored him. "Put the dog down and tell me about this cheerleader chick who lives next door."

"I'm not gonna put the dog down!" he responded defensively. At her snide response – "oh, aren't you?" – an idea crept into his mind. Fine. He would show her how ridiculous she was being.

Clutching the dog to his body, he responded. "If you want to meet the cheerleader, she'll be back any minute to pick up her dog." There. That ought to placate her.

"Then I'll wait for her!" Jade threw herself onto the bed behind him, crossing her arms. Beck, for his part, pretended to be irate, rolling his eyes. He loved messing with Jade, but she completely deserved this one.

"Whatever you want."

This was going to be good.

Jade tossed her hair angrily, leaning against the footboard of Beck's bed. This cheerleader chick, whoever she was, was going to get a nice dose of reality when Jade's foot came into contact with her sorry ass.

She hadn't really been that angry at Beck when she'd requested a video chat. Sure, she'd been bossy, but she was always bossy, and she knew Beck didn't care. The message she'd left had been important, for crying out loud – her Dad had actually been willing to talk about a play she was interested in – and she was annoyed that Beck couldn't be bothered to call her back. Obviously, she hadn't really thought that he wanted to break up with her. But it irritated her that Beck had prioritized something like homework over something so obviously important to her.

Finding out about the cheerleader hadn't been in her plans, of course, but it certainly all made sense. Beck hadn't called her back because he knew she would have wanted to come over to talk, and he hadn't wanted her to know about the cheerleader. Who was obviously trying to get with him. Seriously – who asked their ridiculously hot next-door neighbor to watch their puppy while they were at practice? Nobody, unless they were trying to hit on him. It was a good thing that Jade was coming over – she clearly needed to establish better boundaries around her territory. Maybe breaking down Beck's door had been a little bit unnecessary, but he shouldn't have had the gall to lock her out once he knew she was on her way over.

Jade sighed impatiently, jiggling her foot. She could hear Vega's annoying voice in the background as she, Beck, and Andre worked on their dumb script. Beck was still cuddling that stupid puppy. When was this skank going to get here already?

Suddenly, she heard a new voice, one that sounded suspiciously like Sinjin's. She looked up as the sound, and noticed that an image of Sinjin's head had indeed joined the other chat windows on Beck's computer screen. As Tori and Sinjin argued about airplane windows, however. Jade suddenly noticed something strange.

"Hey, wait a minute." Jade kept her voice calm and composed, but she had a sinking feeling in her stomach as she walked over get a better look at the screen. "Sinjin?"

His face his entire chat window as he leaned in close to his computer screen. "Hi Jade," he said eagerly. Next to her, she saw Beck tense, knitting his eyebrows together. Either he was annoyed by Sinjin's very obvious crush on her (possible), or he was anticipating that she would berate Sinjin and make the situation uncomfortable (also possible).

"Where did you get that lamp?" she asked, forcing herself to keep her voice calm. Next to her, Beck blinked in surprise, but he still looked suspicious.

Sinjin suddenly looked uncomfortable. "Um…at…the lamp store," he answered, his voice wavering. He shifted nervously.

"It looks exactly like the lamp I have in my den at home." It couldn't be, she reassured herself. Even Sinjin wouldn't be creepy enough to steal furniture from her house. In the other chat windows, Andre and Tori both looked confused. They clearly hadn't had a lot of experience with Sinjin's bizarre fixation with her.

"Oh…weird." Sinjin had leaned back now, anxiously biting his lip, and Jade noticed the wallpaper behind him: familiar black leaves on a white background. The fireplace and chair, she realized with horror, were also recognizable.

She had been wrong. Sinjin was way creepier than she had given him credit for.

"Are you in my house?" she shrieked. Next to her, Beck closed his eyes, looking surprised and uncomfortable. Tori and Andre simply looked stunned.

Sinjin was quiet for a minute. Then suddenly, he bolted, leaving them staring at Jade's empty living room chair.

"Take our computer with you!" she burst out angrily. Beck hadn't said anything, but she could tell by his expression that he was just as weirded out as she was. Sinjin yelped something – it sounded like "please don't tell my mother!" – but she was so angry she didn't care what he said. What the hell?

For a second they were all silent. Then Tori said something about resuming their project, and Jade debated with herself for a bit: should she go home and make sure the little dweeb was out of her house, or stay to meet "the cheerleader?" After a moment, she decided that her relationship with Beck was more important than the possibility that that little weirdo was hiding out somewhere else in her house. As Beck and Andre resumed their project, Jade went back to the end of his bed, crossing her legs sullenly.

Beck and Tori were getting desperate. Andre had already been kicked off the computer by his grandmother, leaving only the two of them ("and me!" said Jade) to write the script.

"Let's just get an F and be done with this," groaned Tori.

"Aww, come on," Beck said reassuringly. "We can finish the script ourselves."

"You really want to?"

Beck nodded. "Sure. Why don't we just try—"

There was a knocking at the door again, and Tori rolled her eyes. "Now what. Is that your cheerleader friend?"

Beck didn't say anything, but he certainly hoped so. He couldn't wait to see the look on Jade's face. "Come in," he called innocently.

"Yeah, COME IN," snarled his girlfriend, smoothing her hair defensively. Beck looked down at the puppy in his lap so she wouldn't see the amusement on his face.

His nine-year-old neighbor climbed into the trailer, smiling sunnily. "Hi, Beck!" she exclaimed happily, walking over to him.

"Hi, Ally," he answered, enunciating the word so that Jade could make out the slight smugness in his tone. He Jade's jaw drop as she took in the site of his tiny blonde neighbor in her cheerleading uniform.

"Jade, this is my next-door neighbor, Ally," he said pleasantly, trying hard not to laugh at the expression on his girlfriend's face. Jade's eyebrows were knitted together – whether in anger or shock, he couldn't tell – and as hard as he tried, Beck was unable to stop the amused smile from crossing his face. "Ally, this is my girlfriend Jade." His tone was playful, but he couldn't keep a hint of I-told-you-so out of his voice. Behind him, Tori snickered.

"Nice to meet you!" said Ally sweetly.

Jade's tone was deliberately polite. "Hello, Ally," she said, forcing a smile. She looked as if she had swallowed a lemon, and Beck turned around so that she wouldn't see how much he was relishing this moment.

"Thanks for taking care of Sparkles!" Ally said. Beck handed the puppy back carefully. He was slightly relieved to have it gone—it had peed on his bed, for crying out loud—but he wasn't about to give Jade the satisfaction of knowing that he didn't like dog-sitting. "Anytime, kiddo!" he answered.

As she took the puppy back, Ally leaned in towards him mischeviously. "Your girlfriend's pretty," she whispered, just loud enough for Jade to hear. Beck almost choked on his laughter. This just kept getting better.

Beck snuck a look at Jade and forced himself to keep a straight face. "I know," he whispered conspiratorially. Out of the corner of his eye, he watched Jade's lips purse.

"See ya," he called as Ally walked away. Then he leaned back on the pillows and waited for Jade's inevitable reaction. As she walked up to him, his mouth twitched; he couldn't hold in his laughter for much longer. This entire incident had been priceless. And necessary, he reminded himself. She had completely overreacted about the "cheerleader" comment, and he felt slightly satisfied that she would, for once, see that she didn't need to be so jealous all the time.

Jade sat down irately, clearly embarrassed but unable to admit it. "Wow, Jade, looks like you got some competition there," said Tori mockingly from the computer.

Beck nudged her arm playfully. "You gonna say you're sorry?" he teased.

"You didn't tell me she was nine!" protested Jade angrily, throwing her hands up in the air. Beck had known that she would react defensively instead of apologizing, but he was still satisfied at her obvious embarrassment.

"You didn't give me the chance," he responded, eyebrows raised.

"Oh, don't try to turn this around on me!" Jade's voice was indignant now, and Beck nearly threw his hands up in exasperation.

"Hey!" interrupted Tori, but neither of them was really listening.

Beck and Jade both spoke at once. "You love making me jealous," Jade exclaimed, just as Beck said "Why would I start to do that?" And just like that, they were full-on bickering, although Beck was enjoying himself more than usual. He loved watching Jade struggle to defend herself when she knew she was wrong.

They continued to argue, although Beck had a hard time containing his laughter. Jade tiraded right through his mild protests: "Why do you push my buttons? You could have said she was nine and I wouldn't have gotten upset but you had to go and—"

"Could you guys fight later?" interrupted Tori desperately.

"Stay out of this, Tori!" Jade snapped shrilly. Beck looked away so that he wouldn't feel so guilty over blatantly ignoring their project, but it didn't really matter; Jade had turned off his webcam and slammed his laptop shut.

"Hey! My computer!"

"Maybe if you weren't so focused on your stupid project in the first place we wouldn't be having this argument!"

Beck responded, but his words were half-hearted; they both knew that Jade was going to lose this argument. He could tell, however, that she was determined to continue on anyway. At last, she paused to take a breath, narrowing her eyes angrily, and Beck took advantage of the momentary lapse. "I just wanted you to understand that your jealousy is a little bit ridiculous sometimes!" he said quickly.

"So you embarrass me in front of Vega?"

"No, I just wanted you to see firsthand that it was completely unnecessary to freak out!"

"I think you just love making me jealous!"

Beck paused at that one. Although he could have defended his own actions to the death, it was true that he enjoyed messing with Jade, if only because he knew that she would usually overreact. He knew that she knew that, as well. So he tried a different approach.

"Do you really think you ever need to be jealous?"

He could tell that the question had caught Jade off-guard. "What?" she asked, her voice coming down a few octaves.

A smile flitted across his face as he watched her try to mentally shift gears. "I said, do you really think you need to be jealous all of the time?"

"Well," said Jade defensively, and then paused. Beck watched her triumphantly; he loved when she didn't know what to say. "Girls are always hitting on you," she said finally.

"Really," said Beck, raising his eyebrows.

"Yes, really! And you're really good-looking, and you have great hair, and a lot of girls want in on that and I know what girls are like, Beck, they'll all think that they can get with you if I don't stop them! And I know you know it bothers me that girls hit on you all the time, but you still love using them to push my buttons!" She was talking quickly again, gaining momentum.

"Jade." He cut her off. "You seem to be missing something important."

"What?" she demanded.

"Do you really think I would let any other girl get with me?"

"That's not what I meant! They all think they can and—"

"That wasn't the question." Jade stopped, looking at him. "Do you really think I would let anyone else even think that they had a chance to be with me when I'm already with you?" When she didn't respond, he lightened his tone. "Don't you trust me?"

"Of course I trust you," she said quickly, and Beck could tell that she was struggling to re-build an argument against him. "It's them I don't trust! Because, you know—uh—you're really hot and stuff…" She trailed off.

"Oh, really?" he raised an eyebrow and she swatted his arm.

"Don't flatter yourself," she said, although her bossiness was half-hearted at best. She crossed her arms again and leaned back sullenly. Beck tried not to look too triumphant at his victory. He leaned in closer to her, enjoying the way her expression softened despite her best efforts to look bitter.

"Do you really think I want any other girl? That I would actually let a cheerleader take your place?"

Jade was silent for a minute, but he could see her relaxing. He was about to say something else when she looked up and caught his eye, an innocent look on his face. "No," she said in that sweet, innocent voice that she saved only for him. Damn it, Beck thought, but it was too late; he could already see the victory written all over her face as his words died in his throat. One look into her eyes and all he could think about was—well, her.

As if pulled by an invisible hand, Beck leaned forward and caught her lips with his. She responded eagerly, almost frantically, and they fell backwards onto the bed.

After a few long minutes, it was Jade who broke the kiss, though hesitantly. "You know, you don't need to make me jealous," she said breathlessly. "Stuff like this works fine for me, too." She smirked.

"Nah," Beck said. She stiffened slightly, but relaxed as he kissed her forehead. "You have to be jealous sometimes. Otherwise I'd be the only jealous one in our relationship."

Jade looked confused. "Who would you ever be jealous of?"

He looked over at the computer in mock concern. "Well, if Sinjin keeps sneaking over to your house in the middle of the night…"

"Stop it!" she snapped fiercely. "Never make that joke again." She glared at Beck, then groaned. "Oh god, he was in my house! What the hell? What if he's still there?"

"I'm sure he's gone," said Beck. Truthfully, he hadn't been honest; it would be a long time until he was jealous of Sinjin. But he was still more than a little weirded out by the thought of dude sneaking into his girlfriend's house at night, and he could tell that Jade felt the same. A thought occurred to him.

"If you're worried that he's still there…you could always stay here," he teased. Jade looked mollified.

"Okay," she said with a shrug.

And with that, she caught his lips again and they resumed their activities on the bed.

…..

So I know the part with Sinjin wasn't necessary, but I really wanted to include it because it's so funny – I almost spit out soda the first time I saw that part of the episode. Again, this is probably the longest piece I'll write in a while, but I enjoyed getting inside the characters' heads.

I have a few more ideas for other chapters (one that's almost finished), but if anyone has any "missing" or extended scenes from the show that they want to see explored, let me know using the pretty button below. Thanks for reading!
