[Scene changes to Tori's house. Tori is sitting on the couch when she hears doorbell. It's Robbie.]
"You wanted to see me?" Robbie sighed.
"Come in!" Tori closed the door behind him. They walked into the kitchen. "Want some lemonade?"
"Sure," Robbie nodded. Tori poured him some pink lemonade. He looked at the glass. "Why is it pink?"
"Just drink it!" Tori said annoyed. She watched him take a sip, and asked, "Alright, what's wrong? Why were you so upset during school? And where's Rex?"
"He is having his foot replaced. You know, since Jade-"
"Yeah..." Tori interrupted him. "So what's wrong?"
It was quiet for a minute. He sat down at the table, and finally spoke up.
"I like a girl. I want to ask her to the Valentine's Dance, but I'm scared she'll say no. We've been friends for a while, and I don't want to end up looking bad and ruin our friendship." He sighed.
"Aw... Well, maybe I can help!" Tori decided.
"Really? How?" Robbie asked.
"I can help you, you know, practice asking her out! So you won't be nervous! Who is she?" Tori asked. Robbie looked down at his reflection in the lemonade.
"I- I can't tell you. But will you still help me?" He said quietly, his voice barely above a whisper.
Tori looked at him for a moment, then nodded. "Alright, alright. Drink your lemonade."
[Cat, André, Jade and Beck are at a restaurant. Cat and André are sitting between Beck and Jade, who are arguing]
"I thought we were already going together!" Beck said frustrated.
"What, you thought I was just yours for the taking? It's my decision, too!" Jade snapped. "I can go with somebody else!"
"I know! That's why I'm taking someone ELSE to the dance!"
"Fine! I don't care, anyway!" Jade stood furiously.
"Neither do I!"
"Then why are you here?"
"I was already here! Why are you here?" Beck stood.
"Maybe I like the food here!"
"Wow! There's a shocker! Jade actually LIKES something!" Beck said sarcastically.
(During all this, Cat and André are trying to settle them down.)
"You guys! Stop!" Cat whined.
"Seriously guys, cut it OUT!" André shouted. The table fell silent.
"You guys are lucky you have each other, so just stop fighting!" Cat said sadly.
"Stay out of this, Cat!" Jade spat. Cat ran away crying.
André looked after her, then turned to them. "You guys happy? You made sweet little Cat cry! That's not cool, people, not cool at all!" He turned and ran after Cat. "C'mon, Cat! She didn't mean it!" He called after her.
He came back. "She went home! All because of you two fighting! You gotta get a grip!" He shouted.
Jade and Beck looked at each other, then at the ground.
"I've changed my mind," Beck said. "I'm going with Jessica."
"Jessica? What does she have that I don't?" Jade snapped her head up.
"A personality!" He replied.
"I do too have personality!" She slammed her hands on the table.
"You guys!" André pushed his chair away. "Cat is really upset. She doesn't like seeing her friends fight. Could you please try not to kill each other?" They looked at each other, then looked down again.
"For Cat's sake?" André asked.
Jade gave in. "Fine! But I'm still not going with you!"
Beck nodded. "And I'm not going with you!" They both stood up and stomped away.
André looked at them, turned around, and, looking exasperated, walked away.
[Robbie and Tori are standing in the living room]
"Alright. Now, pretend I'm this 'Mystery Girl', and ask me out." Tori ordered him.
Robbie walked up to Tori. "Hi."
Tori smiled. "Hi."
Robbie looked at his feet. "So, what's up?"
"Um, nothing much?" Tori guessed.
"She wouldn't say that!"
"How would I know that? I don't know who this girl is!" Tori said. "Anyway, just keep going!"
"Well, I was wondering, um... Would you like to, um... See my male make-up set?" Robbie said nervously.
Tori stared for a minute. "No!"
"Okay, um, would you want to, you know... Borrow a scented tissue?"
"No, Robbie!" Tori crossed her arms.
Robbie took a deep breath. He heard Rex in his mind saying "Man up! Say it! Say it!" "Cat, will you go to the dance with me?" He asked. He quickly covered his mouth.
"It's Cat? You like Cat?" Tori asked.
"... Yes. It's Cat." He said quietly. He looked down shyly.
"How sweet! I'm sure she'd love to go with you!" She gushed, and pushed his shoulder.
"But what if she says no?" Robbie asked. He walked toward the kitchen and sat down sadly.
"She wouldn't say no!" Tori sat down next to him.
"She did at Prome!" He said. He blushed from embarrassment. And lied about it...
"Robbie, she already had a date! Tug!" Tori told him.
"Wait, he was real?" Robbie asked.
"Yes! Of course!" Tori laughed. Her face grew serious. "You didn't think she made him up, did you?"
"Umm..."
"Robbie! Cat wouldn't do that!" Tori told him.
"I know, I know... Do you think she likes me?" He asked.
"I don't know. Maybe," Tori said.
"Should I ask her tomorrow?"
"Yeah! Go for it!" Tori smiled, then looked at him. "Robbie?"
Robbie turned back to her. "Yes?"
"I don't think you should take Rex."
Robbie fell silent. "You know what? You're right. I'm not taking Rex. I don't need him right now." Robbie walked to the door, and turned around. "I'm gonna ask her!"
"You're gonna do it!" Tori cheered him on.
"I'm not a wimp!" Robbie said.
"No you are not! Bye!" She pushed Robbie out of the door.
Tori stared at her lemonade. "Why is it pink?"
ALMOST DONE! WILL HE WORK UP THE COURAGE? WILL BECK AND JADE MAKE UP?
