Alice: I did say it was a one-shot…

Emily: But everyone was like, "update soon please!"

Alice: So I decided to write it as a three or four-shot.

Emily: This is what I hope will happen on this week's episode Opposite date.

Alice: Enjoy! The next chapter, which I will post tomorrow, will be either Opposite Date part one or Tori Saves Beck and Jade. Oh a bit of Jandre in this story and a lot in this chapter. Oh, and did you hear? Three Girls and a Mouse will be after Opposite date and before Tori Saves Beck and Jade! Dan! Why?!

Emily: We are just going to ignore that fact, so yeah. I'll try to make it as long as the first one, but I'm not too sure I can.

Opposite Date

Part 1

The next day, Tori walked into school with a smile. Her plan had already been formed in her head, so all she needed to do was earn Beck's approval. Skipping up to him, she glanced around before grabbing his arm and pulling him into the janitor's closet. Gasping in surprise as he was pulled in, he thought back to how Jade must have felt when he pulled her into the closet while they were fighting. Both in, Tori smiled brightly at the confused Beck. Tori grinned. "Let's go on a date!"

"A date?" Beck raised an eyebrow. "Tori… I know I tried to kiss you that one time but… it was a mistake. I… I like, love Jade, and I thought I told you that yesterday?"

"You did," Tori nodded with a smile. "And then you said it was a lost cause. Well, today, you're going to get her back. Before you ask how, I've already developed a plan. We," she gestured to herself and Beck, "are going to pretend to go on a date. Then Jade will get jealous and take you back! That's when you can say it was a misunderstanding and that we weren't really on a date. It'll be perfect!"

Beck looked at her like she was crazy. "Um… Jade doesn't get jealous anymore. Trina sat on my lap and nothing happened. Other girls are with me and still she doesn't do anything. What would make her react in jealousy?"

"Well," Tori paused for a moment. "She always gets this funny face when you're with other girls, so we'll have to try really hard to make it seem like we're really coupley. Besides she hates the idea of you and me together so that will motivate her!"

"And how are we going to get her to know about this?" Beck sighed. Tori beamed; glad he was going to go along with the plan.

"I'll tell Cat to keep it a secret." Tori giggled.

"Um… Cat does keep secrets," Beck raised an eyebrow.

Tori shook her head. "No, she keeps Jade's secrets. She makes sure that none of them slip through. She'll try to keep my secret but she'll accidently let something slip. Jade will find out because she's so persistent and then spy on our date! It'll be perfect!"

"Cat does have a hard time lying to Jade," Beck sighed before nodding. "Okay, I'll try this thing out."

Tori grinned as she grabbed his hand and walked out of the closet only to gasp when she saw Cat standing there giggling. "Hiya Tori! Why are you and Beck in a closet? My brother once went into a closet but then he-"

"Beck and I are going on a date," Tori quickly blurted out but gasped like she was pretending to keep it in. Beck went along with it and faked a glared at her. Cat easily fell for this. "Oh no! I'm sorry Beck. I wasn't supposed to tell anyone!"

"It's okay," Beck grinned. "We can just make sure Cat will promise not to tell."

"I won't tell," Cat bobbled her head up and down. Though Beck could clearly see the betrayal and hurt in Cat's eyes. She had always been a fan of Beck and Jade together.

"Beck and I are going on a date this Friday, and we don't want anyone to know. We especially don't want Jade to know," Tori said slowly and surely, saying Jade slightly louder than the rest of the words in her sentence. Cat continued to nod as Tori smiled. "Thanks Cat! Well, we have to get to class. Bye!"

"Bye!" Cat chirped before waving off. This Friday? Now that she thought about it, she didn't really have anything to do Friday. Smiling, she skipped off to Jade's locker, grinning when Jade turned around to see her. Cat giggled. "Hi! Wanna do something fun this Friday?"

Jade shrugged, knowing she had nothing else to do so why not spend it with her best friend. "Sure. What do you want to do?"

"I figured you'd pick," Cat shrugged. "Because you're bossy."

"Don't say I'm bossy!" Jade screeched, bossing her on what not to say. Cat gasped in surprise that Jade yelled.

"But you are!" Cat insisted. Receiving a glare from Jade, she shrunk a bit, holding out her fingers to show a small inch. "A little…"

"Whatever," Jade sighed, calming down. She could never stay mad at Cat that long anyway. Besides the girl came over here to ask her to hang out, not to call her bossy. "Sure, let's hangout this Friday."

Cat nodded but then gasped. What if Jade wanted to invite Tori? She would have to tell Jade not to! They were even starting to get along a bit. And yet, some part of her knew Jade would never mention Tori. Cat knew she just wanted to tell Jade because she didn't like keeping secrets from her. Before she could stop herself, she blurted out. "Okay, but we can't invite Tori because-"

That's when it hit her. She couldn't tell Jade because Tori would be betrayed! She specifically said to not tell Jade. Cat smiled and decided to make something up. Maybe that Tori was just going on a date. She didn't even have to mention Beck. It wasn't a lie. She immediately zipped her lips and smiled brightly at Jade, who frowned. "What's Tori doing on Friday?" Jade narrowed her eyes. Cat pouted but continued to seal her lips.

"She told me not to tell you," Cat mumbled, all of her confidence disappearing. She really could never lie to Jade. Oh well, Cat thought brightly, at least she isn't doing the countdown.

Jade rolled her eyes, deciding to do what she did best. "Five."

"Oh God!" Cat shouted in horror. Why did she have to jinx it! "Not the counting!"

"Four." Jade replied calmly. She didn't know why but the counting always intimidated Cat. Jade assumed Cat knew nothing was going to happen to her by the time Jade reached one. Why was she acting so afraid then?

"I really can't tell you," Cat cried out. Jade nearly gave up until she saw a slight yearning in Cat's eyes to continue with the counting. Jade frowned. It was almost like Cat wanted to say something.

"Three."

"Oh I love that number!" Cat immediately perked up. Jade sighed, remembering that's exactly what Cat implied the day that Beck broke up with her.

"Two," Jade continued.

"Did you hear about the new pearpad with the better screen?" Cat tried to avoid the subject but even she knew Jade wouldn't fall for that. Jade narrowed her eyes.

"One."

"Okay!" Cat pouted. "Okay I'll tell you."

Jade raised an eyebrow, waiting for her response.

"Beck and Tori are going on a date."

Beck flinched when he saw Cat run into the room and grab Robbie, sitting next to him and holding his hand. She stared at him with sad eyes as he rubbed her head a bit, a little confused. Beck wondered where Jade was and by the look in Tori's eyes, she was wondering too. Both had a pretty good guess at what had happened though. She found out about their… "date". Andre was the first to speak though. "I'll go find Jade."

"It's fine," Beck reassured him. He was used to finding and comforting Jade. "I'll look for her."

"Nah man," Andre shook his head. "She'll only get more upset seeing her ex-boyfriend. I'll go. We are really good friends."

Andre pretended not to notice the flash of hurt in Beck and Tori's eyes though both for different reasons. He walked out as Beck sighed and turned around to see Tori looking down sadly. Beck blinked as he sat down. He whispered to her. "You like Andre?"

"A little…" Tori mumbled.

"You don't to worry though," Beck smiled but still kept his voice low. "I'm sure he likes you back."

"No…" Tori smiled fondly at the memory of dressing up like Jade. "He nearly kissed me once but only because I was dressed as someone else."

"Who?" Beck asked curiously. Tori actually dressed like someone else to get Andre? They didn't seem probable.

"I can't tell you," Tori smiled sadly. "Unlike Cat, I can keep a secret."

Beck nodded but the unsettling feeling in his stomach wouldn't go away.

"Jade?" Andre walked into the janitor's closet to see the dark girl cutting up a cardboard box. He approached her cautiously and sat next to her. "Jade, what's wrong?"

Jade frowned, dried up tear trails on her cheeks. "Beck and Tori are going on a date."

Andre's eyes went wide. Beck and Tori were going on a… what? Jade sighed, leaning her head back so it hit the wall softly. Andre's mouth was opened just a bit as he continued to stare at Jade. Beck and Tori? That didn't seem right. It should be Beck and…

He sighed, knowing he couldn't finish that sentence. Yes, it should be Beck and Jade. He was just selfish and wanted it to be Andre and Jade. So Jade was still in love with Beck? Just like how Andre was in love with Jade? He glanced over at her as she closed her eyes, tears probably piling up. Acting on impulse, he wrapped his arms around her and pulled her into a hug. Jade's eyes went wide as he pulled her to his chest, holding her tightly. Jade's tears finally were released again as she cried. Andre could only hold her tighter. "Shhh," Andre whispered softly. Jade just continued to cry.

Andre didn't know what made him do it, but it came out before he could stop it.

"Monday, well baby I fell for you," he sang softly. Jade sniffed and glanced up as Andre stared down at her with a smile. "Tuesday I wrote you this song. Wednesday I wait outside your door, even though I know it's wrong."

And he kept singing to her. She stopped crying long ago yet Andre couldn't stop. The first song he wrote for her came out slower and softer then he'd ever intend. He continued to sing as Jade placed her shaking hands over Andre's, closing her eyes and leaning into his chest, listening to his heartbeat and his voice. It soothed her.

Andre soothed her.

Beck swallowed nervously as he walked to lunch to find Andre and Jade already there, laughing and smile. Slowly sitting down next to Tori, he smiled at the two. Tori seemed to as well. "Are you feeling better, Jade? You didn't show up to class. We were worried," Tori stared at her in actual concern. She had forgotten that Jade might not have taken the news that well. Then again, if the idea came up, she thought Beck would rush to her side. She didn't think Andre would stop Beck and go to her himself.

Jade smirked. "I just decided to skip class, Vega. Nothing was wrong. And I just want to tell you two something."

Tori and Beck braced for it. Beck's heart pounded in his chest. Was she going to say she didn't approve? That she wanted Beck back? Tori was hoping the same thing as well. That way they wouldn't have to go on the pretend date. Jade smiled a geniune smile. "If you two ever started dating, I'd support you."

Beck's world felt like it just crashed in on him.

"Why don't you want to sit with everyone else?" Robbie questioned Cat. Cat shrugged, dangling her legs off the stage as she ate her lunch. Robbie sighed, going back to his food. Cat curiously glanced at Robbie's arms.

"How come you never carry around Rex anymore?" Cat asked curiously. Robbie shrugged. It had been a while since he brought Rex to school or to any public event. After a moment of silence, she decided that Robbie wasn't going to give her an answer. "I was scared," she answered his first question. "You see, two of my friends are going on a date. But they don't know that my other friend will be hurt by it. I guess I just wasn't thinking when I told my other friend."

"I don't think Jade is mad at you," Robbie answered honestly. Cat's head whipped around, her eyes wide with shock. "I figured you were talking about Jade," Robbie confessed. "Beck and Tori are going on a date, right? I guessed that's what happened when Jade didn't show up in class. Well that it had something to do with Beck. After you told me that, I kind of put the pieces together."

Cat nodded slowly. "I'm scared for them."

Robbie smiled. "Do you know about Japan?"

"Japan?" Cat asked curiously.

"In Japan, they have this legend," Robbie explained, "that if you were meant for each other, you had a red string tied around your pinkie and at the other side of the string it would be tied around another person's pinkie. They say that if the red string connects them, it means they were always meant for each other and no matter what they'll live a good life together."

"That's cool," Cat brightened up before frowning sadly. "But they don't have a red string…"

Robbie chuckled. "No, the red string is invisible. No one can see it."

Cat nodded thoughtfully. "That's probably why I can't see red strings on my parents." Robbie laughed again. Cat smiled softly at him. "Do Beck and Jade have the red string?"

"You know what, Cat," Robbie grinned, placing his arm around her and squeezing her shoulder, "I'll bet they do."

Cat smiled brightly and leaned towards him, kissing his cheek. "Thanks!"

"You're welcome," Robbie blushed. Cat giggled and went back to her food, as did Robbie. Their conversations then became more light hearted and random. Just like the way it should be.
