A/N: Wow, people actually like it. This kinda comes as a shock to me. Haha.

Jude is on her way to becoming an interior designer and Speed is a business management graduate. You'll need to know that for this part. Oh, and Mason is part of SME now because they needed another member. It'll make more sense why later on.

"My head's in a jam
Can't take you off my mind
From the time we met
I've been beset by thoughts of you"

"And the more that I ignore this feeling
The more I find myself believing
That I just have to see you again"

"I can't let you pass me by
I just can't let you go
But I know that I am much too shy
To let you know
Afraid that I might say the wrong words
And displease you
Afraid for love to fade
Before it can come true"

It was their song. They always sang it together. Jude, Speed, and then together. They were young and in love.

"We'll work in California for six months, and if we're lucky we'll get another six," said Speed as they were lying on top of a mountain. They always spent their free time there when they needed to get away. It was relaxing.

"And then we can get married."

"Psh of course." Jude looked at her ring when she said this. It was beautiful, and very large too. "And then we'll build a house. Right here, on top of this mountain with this same view."

"I want our house to be made out of wood. I can imagine it now. Our living room, dining room, our bedroom," she smiled. "And of course our children's bedrooms. Oh, and by children I don't mean Wally, Kyle, and Mason." They both laughed. "I want a house that is beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, but still simple at the same time."

"Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. Sounds expensive. Dude's trying to make me broke."

"I promise to make you a lovely home with the least cost."

"And I'll be the only one to make our furniture. Every single one of them."

"But they have to match my designs."

"Yes Major Dude." He gave her a quick peck on the lips. With that, they sat on the blanket on the grass. Jude noticed Speed kept staring at her.

"What?"

"I promise you, I will fulfill all your dreams."

"No, we will fulfill them together."

When Jude and Speed got back, they had dinner with Jude's family.

"I cooked this especially for you two. You'll love it," said Victoria Harrison. Jude opened the dish to see a letter.

"Talents International? Looks intriguing." She read aloud, "We are pleased to inform you that your singing group and/or band has been accepted to work in California. California? California! We got it!" Speed got up and spun Jude around the room. They were getting what they always dreamed of. They couldn't be happier.

"Stop your foolishness Vincent."

"Come on Dad, please? It's only six months. What's six months? You won't even know I'm gone."

"I need you here. Jamie and Kat are migrating to the States. You need to take over his duties. It's about time you got involved with the family business anyways." Vin rolled his eyes at this, and his dad noticed. "Who's getting all these crazy ideas in your head? That Jude girl again? The answer is no."

While the rest of the band was celebrating, Jude and Speed were across the room, upset.

"If they really need you here, there's always a next time. Right?"

"No."

"Speed-"

"This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for us. I can't believe they're doing this to us."

"Speed-"

"I knew that they were never really joyful about the band or anything, but this is a low blow, even for-"

"Speed!" He looked taken aback at this tone. "Let's not leave for California just yet," she said calmly. Speed didn't say anything. "Haven't I ever told you that my only dream is for us to be together? Wherever you're going, I'm going." Vin could hear Wally, Kyle, and Mason drunkenly yelling to them from across the room.

"No. We've forever for this. We're going through with it."

"Speedy! It's the 1, 2 Step!" Kyle was drunk.

"Come on Vin. I love it when you 1, 2 step," laughed Jude. The band had an insider that whenever 1, 2 Step would come on, they would clear the dance floor for Vin. It was tradition.

"Come on Juderman. Join the party!" Mason was drunk too. That only meant that Wally was drunk as well.

"Goodies make the boys jump on it." He slapped his butt at her then ran to the dance floor.

Speed was at the airport with the band laughing and watching Kyle and Wally pull on Jude's ponytail with Mason when he got a phone call from his mom.

"Hey Mom! What's up?"

"Vin…" He could hear crying on the other end.

"Mom?"

"Vin, your dad…"

"My father had a heart attack. He needs me."

"I'll stay with you. We can always follow the guys to California later."

"Red," he stopped. "Jude, I don't know how long I'll have to stay." They were both in tears by now. She put her hand on his cheek to make him stop crying but it only caused them to both break down. "Go on, the dudes are waiting for you."

Jude gave him a long hug and made sure to make it last. She didn't know the next time she'd be able to do so.
