Jade groaned as the sun peeked through her window. She rolled over and tried to block the sun with her covers but it was no use; she could not fall back sleep. She groaned as she climbed out her bed and staggered into the kitchen. Once there, she started the coffee, slightly waking up to the smell of it brewing. She looked down, realizing that she was still in her dress from last night. It made her wonder what happened. She was still pondering when she heard Cat scream. Forgetting everything, she ran towards the back of the apartment and busted into Cat's room. Cat was standing by her bed in her dress from last night, staring at Robbie who was also still in his clothes and standing on the opposite side of the bed.

"What happened?" Jade asked looking at the two then turning to Robbie. "Did you try to play pirates with her?"

"No, I swear I didn't!" Robbie defended.

"Then why did Cat scream?"

"I screamed because I woke up and Robbie was in my bed with me!" Cat cried.

"WHAT?" Jade yelled pulling her emergency scissors out of her bra. Robbie squeaked and ran out of the room and to the front door, trying to escape. Jade grabbed him and pushed him against the door, pointing the scissors at his throat. "What do you think you're playing at, Shapiro?"

"I didn't touch her, I swear! I don't even remember how I got here!"

"Likely story."

"What's going on?"

Jade and Robbie jumped and turned to the sound of the voice. Beck was picking himself off the floor and looking around. Tori was on the couch, still asleep and Andre was curled up in a chair, also asleep.

"How did I get here?" Beck asked running a hand through his head.

Jade looked at Beck confused then to the boy and girl sleeping on her furniture. "I was wondering the same thing," She said. Realizing Robbie was still there, she turned back to him, pointing her scissors again. "I'm warning you, Shapiro, if you don't tell me what happened, I will hurt you."

"Jadey, no!" Cat cried pulling Jade off of Robbie and getting in between them. "Robbie didn't do anything. See, I'm still in my dress from last night."

Jade didn't look very convinced but put her scissors back on the table. "Whatever. You got lucky, Shapiro."

Robbie gulped and looked over at Cat helplessly. She shrugged.

"Beck, what are you doing here?" Cat questioned, looking at the messy haired man.

"I'm not sure. I'm not even sure where here is," Beck said looking around again.

"You're in mine and Jade's apartment!" Cat said excitedly.

"Five more minutes, Grandma."

Everyone turned to Andre who shifted in his sleep.

"He sleep talks a lot," Beck replied.

"No, Mason, I like my look. I'm not changing it," Tori said rolling over in her sleep.

"Hehe, Tori talks in her sleep too," Cat said.

"Do you remember everybody's name?" Jade asked. "You can't remember to stop slamming doors but you can easily remember names?"

"It's a gift," Cat said twirling her dress a little.

Jade rolled her eyes. "Okay, everyone needs to get out of our apartment. I have a script that needs to be written." Jade grabbed the pillow Tori was using and yanked it out from under her, causing Tori to roll over and fall on the floor.

"OW!" Tori yelled sitting up and looking around.

Her scream was so loud that it woke Andre up who looked around, confused.

"How the hell did I get.." Andre stood up and stretched, looking around. "Where am I?"

Tori struggled to stand, her eyes darting around the room and then down at her clothes. "Where are we?"

"Welcome to mine and Jade's apartment!" Cat said in a sing-song voice.

"I need coffee," Beck said turning to Jade. "Do you have any?"

"Yeah, it should be done." Jade said going into the kitchen, Beck following.

"Why don't I remember anything after my first beer?" Tori asked sitting on the couch and putting her head in her hands.

"Girl, I don't remember either," Andre said, sitting back in the chair he had slept in.

"Robbie woke up in my bed," Cat said going to sit by Tori. Tori and Andre stared at her. "It's not what it sounds like, don't worry."

Tori and Andre nodded slowly and turned away from Cat.

"One time, my brother woke up in the trunk of a car with duck tape over his mouth," Cat said as Jade and Beck came in with coffee mugs.

"That's nice, Cat. Drink the coffee," Jade said handing her a mug.

"But I don't like coffee."

"It has sugar."

"Yay, I love sugar!" Cat exclaimed drinking her coffee.

"Here, Rob," Jade said handing Robbie a mug and sitting down on the floor in front of the couch with her mug.

Beck handed Andre and Tori a mug. "Sorry, Tori, I don't know what you like so I just put in two sugars."

"That's fine," Tori said sipping the coffee. "I just wish I could remember what happened. Oh my God, Trina!" Tori jumped up and starting looking around, throwing pillows off the couch as she did so.

"Don't you dare think about trashing my apartment," Jade said. "I have a script to write and I don't want to clean the apartment instead."

"I'm looking for my purse. I have to find my phone and call Trina," Tori said looking under the couch. "Aha! Found it and I have no messages. Wow, my sister loves me."

Jade smiled slightly as she drank her coffee. "I don't blame her."

Tori looked at Jade surprised then shook her head as she headed towards the door. "I'll be back. I have to call my sister."

"Please don't come back," Jade said.

"Jade, be nice," Cat begged as Robbie sat beside her.

"Hey, where are my keys?" Beck asked. "Andre, do you have them?"

"No. I don't know where they are," Andre said.

"Is everyone losing everything today?" Jade asked.

"I once lost Jade's key," Cat said.

"Cat, sweetie, you swallowed it," Robbie explained.

"Oh, yeah," Cat remembered and giggled at the memory.

Beck shook his hand then stood up, looking for his keys.

Tori came back in with her phone in one hand and two sets of keys in the other. "Some guy in mismatched clothes with no shoes gave me these and told me that we all need to drink less," She said holding out the keys.

"My keys!" Beck and Jade cried grabbing their sets of keys.

"Why did Sikowitz's have our keys?" Jade asked. Seeing everyone's confused face except Cat, she went on. "The guy in the mismatched clothes."

"He didn't say," Tori said. "But Trina is coming to pick me up after an audition. She said I should try acting but I don't know. I really like singing. Making it in Hollywood is a lot harder than I thought."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Well this has been interesting but I really need to sleep off this hangover," Beck said standing up. "You ready, Andre?"

"Yeah. I need to go finish my song," Andre said joining him.

They went to put their coffee mugs in the kitchen then came back, standing by the door.

"Do you need something?" Jade asked.

"Yeah, where are we?" Beck asked scratching his head.

"You're in Schneider's Apartment Complex, silly," Cat said. "Floor 3. Jade doesn't like even numbers."

"Wait? Schneider's floor 3?" Andre asked. "What number?"

"357."

"We live right down the hall then," Beck said smiling at the two girls. "I guess we'll be seeing you two around."

"Oh, I can't wait!" Jade replied sarcastically.

"Come visit anytime!" Cat said excitedly as the boys left.

"I'm going to walk home. I'll see you guys soon. Nice to meet you, Tori," Robbie said waving as he left.

"I guess it's just us girls," Tori said happily.

"I'm going to write," Jade said standing up and going to her room.


Tori sighed as she stepped out of the shower and wrapped a towel around her. She brushed her tangled hair and put on a pair of clean pajamas then went into the living where Trina was sitting.

"Did you enjoy your shower?" Trina asked as she flipped through a magazine.

"I did. It was nice and refreshing," Tori said sitting down next to her.

"So what happened to you last night?"

"I have no idea. I sat down with a group of people, had some beers, and the next thing I know I woke up in a random apartment," Tori explained. "None of us remember."

"What were the people like?"

"They were pretty different. We are all trying to make it and not having any luck."

"Aww, you are all losers?"

"Trina! We are not losers! I had a recording contract!" Tori cried.

"They dropped you, Tori, that makes you a loser."

Tori looked at her sister in disgust and stood up. "I'm going to watch a movie in my room."


Cat flipped through the TV, singing softly as Jade typed on her laptop.

"'And it's gonna take some time to realize,'" Cat sang. "Sing with me, Jade!"

"Not now, I'm writing," Jade answered.

"But it's Drake & Josh!"

"Not now, Cat." Jade started typing again as the doorbell rang. "Oh my God! Whoever that is will die!" She yelled taking off her reading glasses and yanking the door open. "WHAT?!"

Andre and Beck looked at each other than down at the pizza in their hands.

"Pizza?" Beck asked holding it out. "You gave us coffee and we thought we would feed you."

"Oh, pizza! I love pizza!" Cat said skipping over to them.

"Cat!"

"I hate pizza?" Cat said puzzled, looking at Jade.

"Look, I'm really busy working on my script and I honestly don't know you two," Jade said.

"We can get to know each other," Beck offered.

"It's free food," Andre sing-songed holding it up.

Jade looked between the boys, Cat who was nodding excitedly and the pizza. "Fine. Come on in."

The boys smiled as they walked in. Andre set the pizza on the table as Jade cleared off the table.

"I'll get drinks," Beck said. "What do you have?"

"Water, coke, lemonade, diet coke and juice," Jade answered putting her laptop in her bag and zipping it up.

"Anybody want anything specific?"

"I'll have coke," Andre said.

"Get Cat water," Jade said. "She got sick earlier; alcohol doesn't settle well with her. I'll get my own when I get my food."

"You aren't having pizza?" Beck asked.

"I can't have it. I'm a vegan," Jade answered motioning to the pepperonis and sausage. "I'm allergic to most meats."

"Wow, that must really suck," Andre said.

"You get used to it."

"Really?"

"No! I miss meat so bad! And don't get me started on sweets!" Jade cried looking at the pizza longingly.

"Jade's also has a gluten allergy," Cat explained to the boys. "So no sweets. She misses cookies."

"That really sucks," Andre said.

Beck nodded in agreement. "What can you eat?"

"I have a vegetarian burrito in the fridge that I'll heat up. Cat, go get the plates," Jade said going into the kitchen shortly followed by Cat and Beck.

Cat got out four cups for Beck then got out paper plates and napkins as Jade started fixing her burrito.

"We don't like washing dishing that much so we use paper plates even though they are bad for the environment," Cat explained as Beck poured the drinks. "One time my brother started a recycling program at a school but got arrested because he didn't go there."

Beck's eyes grew at Cat's story and looked at Jade who mouthed 'ignore it'. "Okay, let's go get some pizza, okay, Cat?"

"Yay, pizza!"

The two went out and sat down with Andre and started eating. Jade came out a few minutes later with her burrito and juice.

"So, what's you girls' story?" Andre asked.

"Jade and I've been best friends since kindergarten! We graduated from a performing arts school then we went to New York and went broke so we moved back here!" Cat explained.

"Cool. Did you do anything in New York?"

"We were in one show but it shut down," Jade said. "Vegan food is expensive."

"That's really cool!" Andre said. "Well besides you know the whole going broke thing."

"Did you go to a performing arts school here in L.A.?" Beck asked.

"Yeah, it was fun," Jade said. "We both got in on acting but we also sing and I write."

"Andre and I went to a performing arts school. Andre was one of the best songwriters," Beck said.

"Dude, you're embarrassing me but I did get the highest grades. Beck was the best actor. He also was one of the best writers," Andre said.

"No man, I wasn't. There was always this girl that would beat me out. She was incredible. She had this obsession with scissors and horror stories but they were always the best."

Jade and Cat looked at each other as Cat giggled and said, "Jade was the best at our school. Weren't you, Jade?" Cat poked Jade and grinned like she knew something. Jade grinned back. "She won tons of awards and her plays were always put on. Were any of your plays put on, Beck?"

"Only one. That girl who beat me always had more though. She deserved it, though."

"Where did you go?" Jade asked raising her eyebrows at Cat who giggled.

"Hollywood Arts." Beck responded. "Why? Where did you two go?"

"Hollywood Arts," Cat said.

The boys looked at her confused. "Really?" They said.

"Yeah, Jade was the one that beat you out, Beck," Cat said giggling.

Beck looked at Jade. "You? You're Jade West?"

Jade nodded. "That's my name."

"Wow, I can't believe we all went to the same school and didn't know it," Andre said. "Do you guys remember the improv teacher? What was his name?"

"Sikowitz," Cat said giggling. "He lives in this apartment building."

"Really? That guy who found out keys?" Andre asked.

"We told you that was him," Jade said.

"We were hung over, leave us alone," Andre told her. "Man, I like him. Do you remember the alphabet improv game?"

"Oh my God! Yes! We should do it!" Cat said setting her plate aside. "Can I choose the letter? Please?"

"Go for it."

"Let's start with P! Jade, go!"

Jade looked startled then said "Pizza is the food I miss the most."

"Quite good," Beck said in a British accent holding up the pizza.

"Right you are," Andre said.

"Too bad you are missing out," Cat said. The three made a buzzer sound indicating that Cat was out. "No!"

"Sorry, Cat. Beck, your letter is T," Jade said continuing the game.

"Tangerine's are my favorite fruit!" Beck stated.

"Unfortunately, I hate tangerines," Andre declared.

"Very wrong of you. Tangerines are awesome," Jade said

"Why are we talking about tangerines?" Beck questioned.

"X chromosomes are the only people who like tangerines," Andre said randomly.

"Yes, that makes Beck a girl," Jade said smirking.

"Zero is what you are," Beck replied.

"Awful thing to say to Jade," Andre said astonished.

"But of course Andre is right," Jade agreed.

"Can't you see I was kidding?" Beck told her.

"Do go on," Andre said motioning his hand towards Beck.

"For, I did not realize you were kidding, " Jade said in her British accent.

"Great choice of words. Very proper," Beck said.

"Hay is for horses!" Andre exclaimed.

"I believe Andre blurts out random phrases," Jade stated.

"Just so you know, you're right," Beck said.

"Hey!" Beck and Jade made the buzzer noise as Andre slumped in his chair.

"Kites are annoying," Jade continued.

"Like okay," Beck said in a valley girl accent.

"Man, you sound like a valley girl,"

"Never going to happen,"

"Of course not," Jade said smirking, leaning in.

"Perhaps not," Beck responded leaning in as well.

"Quite hilariously."

"Right you are."

"Say, how long will you last?" Jade asked.

"Till the end." Beck replied.

"Unbelievable."

"Very likely."

"Well, aren't you the charmer?"

"X marks the spot that you are right."

"You think you can beat me."

"Zero chances is what you have."

"A word cannot be used twice," Jade declared.

"But that is not in the rules," Beck told her.

"Canadian."

"Don't even go there."

"Even more entertaining is insulting you."

"Forget you."

"Good job, you know the clean version!"

"Ha! Very sarcastic of you."

"It's one of my many charms," Jade said.

"Jade, a charmer?" Beck said baffled.

"Karma will come back and get you."

"Like totally?"

"My God! Are you secretly a girl?" Jade asked laughing.

"Nah."

"Possibly the shortest sentence."

"Quite possibly the longest game."

"Right?"

"So, we are still going?"

"To continue or not to continue? That is the question," Jade quoted.

"Unreal," Beck said laughing.

"Very rude!"

"Why was that rude?"

"X rays hurt and that comment did too."

"You know, x-rays don't hurt."

"Zebras can!"

"This is the longest game in the world!" Cat cried interrupting the two.

The two look at Cat then shrugged.

"A draw?" Jade asked holding out her hand for Beck to shake.

"A draw," Beck replied shaking her hand. "You were good."

"I know," Jade said flipping her hair over her shoulder.

"Hey, do you guys remember that weird play Sikowitz made us put on?" Andre asked. "The one with the alien?"

"Oh my God! That play was so weird!" Cat cried. "Jade wrote a different version of it, didn't you?"

"Yeah, but it's horrible. I wrote it to make fun of it," Jade answered. "Actually, I think I still have a printed version. Let me go see." Jade got up and went to her room while Beck and Andre helped Cat clean up.

After they cleaned up, they moved to the couch, waiting for Jade. Jade came back a few minutes later with a folder.

"Is that it?" Beck asked taking the folder away from Jade.

Jade snatched it back and said, "Hey! I didn't say you could read it!"

"And why not?" Beck asked. "Why don't we all act it out?"

"I don't think so," Jade said sitting next to Cat and putting it on her lap. "It's not very good. It is a satire and not my best work."

"Well, I want to read it," Beck said leaning over Cat and grabbing the folder as quickly as he could and leaned back to where he was. "Come on, Jade, let's act it out."

Jade didn't look convinced but reluctantly agreed. "I need a drink before we start. Who wants one?"

"Can we have wine?" Cat asked.

Jade nodded and went into the kitchen. She grabbed four wine glasses and proceeded to pour white wine in all the glasses. She came back out and handed each person a glass. Beck took a sip then opened the script.

An hour later, all four of them were laughing uncontrollably. Jade reached over to grab the wine bottle on the coffee table and poured more in her glass, immediately swallowing it. Cat covered her face with her hands as she laughed and laid her head in Jade's lap. Andre tossed Beck the script from his spot on the chair. Beck caught it with a laugh.

"Dude, what was that?" Beck asked still laughing at line Andre just said. He leaned against the wall as he looked at his line. "Jade, what the heck?"

Jade laughed, knowing what line came next. She handed him the wine bottle and grinned. "Here you go. You might need this."

Beck gladly accepted the bottle and took a sip straight from the bottle then looked at the script. "'This is the end, Zor. We can never be together. You are too green.'"

Cat laughed, if possible, even harder as Beck finished his line and tossed the script to Jade to finish.

"'You are a jerk! I can't I believe I ever came to this planet! See ya!'" Jade said closing the script with a laugh.

"That was so funny!" Cat said sitting up and taking the bottle from Beck.

Jade immediately took the bottle back. "I think you had a bit too much, Cat," She said putting the cork back on the bottle.

Cat giggled. "No, I haven't."

The boys and Jade laughed as Cat started giggling uncontrollably again.

"You know that wasn't bad, Jade," Beck said. "It could be a really good script."

Jade rolled her eyes. "It's okay. It's not my best work."

"You definitely have potential," Beck said smiling at her. "You always have."

"If this is your attempt at flirting with me, it's not working, pretty boy," Jade said standing up, going to the door and opening it. "Now, this was fun but get out of my apartment."

The two boys looked hurt by her bluntness but stood up and headed to the door.

"We should do this again," Andre said.

"Yeah, I don't think so. Leave," Jade said pointing to the hallway.

"She doesn't mean it. Stop by anytime. Thanks for the pizza!" Cat said standing up and hugging the boys.

"Bye, Cat."

"See ya, Lil Red."

"What part of leave do you not understand?"

Andre and Beck looked at each then walked out of the apartment, waving to Jade as they left.

"Yay, we made friends!" Cat said happily once Jade shut the door.

"No," Jade said grabbing her laptop then heading to the room. "Clean up the mess!"

Cat looked after her then at the living room and dining room table. "Phooey."
