Happy Birthday to Jude.

"Speed, what are you doing?" Jude asked.

"Finishing off the slice of cake your mom sent over," Speed said.

"Alright well hurry up and come outside. You have to see what my parents got me," Jude said. She hung up her phone and dialed Jamie's number.

"Jamie, what are you doing?" Jude asked.

"I was getting ready to call you to see what time we were going to play Laser Tag," Jamie said.

"Well my dad just got here, and wow, I must say this is the best birthday ever. You need to get over here, ASAP," Jude said, smiling. She couldn't wait to show her friends what her parents, Tommy, and Sadie got her for her birthday.

When Speed and Jamie got there, the first thing they both said was "whose sweet ride is that in the front?"

"That would be mine," Jude said.

"No way, really?" Speed asked.

"Yep, thanks to my mom and dad. They may hate each other but they love me," Jude said.

"That's awesome," Jamie said.

"And then Tommy got me this kick-ass new iPOD with everything ever already on it," Jude said, showing it to them.

"Gotta hand it to you Quincy, this is pretty sweet," Speed said.

"And then Sadie got me this thing, which I hook the iPOD up to in the car, so we can listen to it all the time," Jude said.

"Is there more?" Jamie asked.

"Yep, she got me new speakers, and this really cute case," Jude said.

"Well I think my gift comes in a close second, after the car," Speed said, smiling.

"What'd you get her?" Tommy asked.

"I'll give it to her later. Now come on, let's bring on the games," Speed said.

"Yeah! Tommy, Sadie, are you guys coming?" Jude asked.

"Sure, why not," Sadie said.

"Sweet, I'm gonna go pick up Kyle and Wally, Jamie you can follow, cause I gotta go get Mason and Patsy as well," Jude said.

"And Amelia?" Jamie asked.

"What about her?" Jude asked.

"Didn't you invite her too?" Jamie asked.

"Not really," Jude mumbled.

"Awh come on Jude, Amelia's great," Speed said. Jude glared at him before agreeing to invite the girl she hated to spend her birthday with her friends.

Jude had a horrible time. Amelia loved being the center of attention, and everyone gave her that, even though it was Jude's birthday. It was even worse when Jude walked in on Amelia kissing Speed. She didn't even wanna drive him home.

"Jude, you like Speed, and you need to tell him," Kyle said on the way back.

"Yes, I do, but I don't want to lose our friendship," Jude said, finally admitting it.

"Well you're going to have to figure out what's worse, always wondering what if, or finding out," Mason said.

"Well doesn't look like I really have a chance right now," Jude said.

"This is just a minor setback. She's just a distraction for him," Wally said.

"Yeah, we know Speed. We know that he's pretty much in love with you, and he's just with her because she's there. He only likes her as a friend," Kyle said.

"They looked a little more than friendly earlier," Jude said.

"And we talked to him about that. She kissed him. He doesn't even know that you saw that," Kyle said.

"Yeah, well I think I should just get over it. I guess I just have bad timing," Jude said.

"You want us to come over?" Kyle asked.

"And stay the night?" Jude asked.

"Yeah, we'll be like your, Speed away from Speed," Wally said. Jude and Mason chuckled.

"I'll go home," Mason said.

"Okay Mase, I'll see you tomorrow then," Jude said, when she dropped him off.

"What's going on tomorrow?" Kyle and Wally asked.

"He always comes to see me at the studio," Jude said.

Kyle, Wally, and Jude were watching a scary movie in her room when her phone rang.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" they screamed. She picked up her phone and answered it.

"Don't ever do that again," she said.

"About that, I'm sorry, I should've told you," Speed said.

"Told me what?" Jude asked.

"That me and Amelia were together, instead of letting you find out on your own," Speed said.

"Wait, you two were together before I saw you making out with her?" Jude asked.

"You saw that?" Speed asked.

"You were going out longer than that?" Jude asked.

"No, no, after that she decided I was her boyfriend," Speed said.

"She decided that you were her boyfriend? Must I remind you of a certain person who had a boyfriend like that?" Jude asked.

"No its not like that, I mean when she started telling people, I didn't have the heart to tell them it wasn't true. And it's not like I hate her or anything," Speed said.

"She tricked you into being her boyfriend," Jude said.

"No, I guess she thought that because of the kiss, we were together," Speed said.

"Then you need to set her straight. This is gonna end badly if you continue to go through with it," Jude said.

"But she's a great friend, I don't want her to hate me," Speed said.

"Then stay with her Speed. And by the way, that's not what I was talking about when I first answered the phone. You called and scared the crap out of us," Jude said.

"I'm sorry. Wait, us?" Speed asked.

"Yes, well I figured you would want to spend some time with your girlfriend so I didn't bother inviting you. Besides, now that you have a girlfriend, you can't keep sleeping over," Jude said.

"Why not?" Speed asked.

"One, she hates me, two, that looks really bad, sleeping in the same bed with a girl that's not your girlfriend, and three, she wouldn't approve," Jude said.

"She doesn't control me," Speed said.

"Speed, you have a girlfriend now. I wouldn't feel right sleeping in the same bed as you anyway," Jude said.

"Alright, fine. I guess I'll see you in the morning," Speed said.

"I need you to record the piano for How I Feel, and then Darius wants me to re-record Fade To Black, with all of you guys playing for it," Jude said.

"Okay. So I can't come over and then leave?" Speed asked.

"You won't leave and you know it. So why did you call," Jude said.

"I don't even remember anymore," Speed lied. He knew exactly why he called. It was to give her her present.

"Well, then I guess this conversation was pointless," Jude said.

"No, none of our conversations are pointless," Speed said.

"Goodnight Vin," Jude said, hanging up.

"We can get him back for you," Kyle said.

"Yeah, you two need each other," Wally said.

"No, I can do this on my own. But thanks anyway guys," Jude said. They continued watching the movie until they fell asleep.

The next day, they pushed through the two songs, making Tommy, Liam, and Darius proud.

"I think this deserves a Kwest-wich," Kwest said.

"I think this deserves a party at Tommy's!" Jude exclaimed.

"As much as I love the parties we have when you offer my house up, I'm gonna have to say no to this one. Sadie is coming over, and we've been together for almost been five months, so we're spending the night alone," Tommy said.

"Gross," Jude said.

"I didn't say that we were doing anything. I'm going to wait until your sister's birthday, thank you very much," Tommy said.

"T-M-I Quincy," Jude said.

"Yeah, even I didn't wanna hear that," Wally said.

"Well, we can go over to Amelia'," Speed said.

"Or not," Jude said.

"Yeah dude, who wants to go to your girlfriend's house and watch you two make kissy-face with each other," Kyle said.

"We're not," Speed said.

"No, its okay Speed, you can go to your girlfriend's. Kyle, Wally, Jamie, Patsy, Mason, and I will go over to my house and party it up there," Jude said.

"Where is Patsy anyway?" Mason asked.

"She went over to Jamie's this morning. I think someone's in love," Jude said, laughing.

"Awh how cute," Mason said.

"Yeah I know," Jude said, smiling.

"Oh, so its okay for Patsy and Jamie to make kissy faces at each other?" Speed asked.

"They won't. Patsy's not that kind of girl. Amelia, will do whatever she can to remind me that she's your girlfriend, and I'm not," Jude said.

"No she won't," Speed said.

"Thank what you want. I know how this is gonna turn out. Fine, bring her over. If she gets on my nerves, I will kick her out. And you're gonna have to go with her," Jude said.

"I don't know why you two don't like each other," Speed said.

"Because she is a –," Jude started to say before Tommy cut her off.

"Alright, kiddos. See ya later," he said.

"Later Tommy," Jude said, hugging her producer.

"Alright, I'm taking Kyle, Wally, and Mason, Speed, you're on your own. I'll see you at my house," Jude said.

"Wait, I'm going alone?" Speed asked.

"You have to pick up your girlfriend," Jude said.

"Fine, fine, I'll see you when I get there," Speed said, getting into his car.

"Wait, I thought you two were friends with Amelia," Mason said.

"She hates Jude. We hate her," Kyle said.

"I knew it!" Jude said.

"Wow, good job at figuring that out Jude," Mason said. They all got into Jude's car and made their way to her house.
