A.N. Yes, there will be ships but I will take my time with them. No, none is getting pregnant, shot or stabbed. IMHO you have to be extra stupid to get pregnant in high school in this day and age. By the way don't pay too much attention to the actors I've cast as the stars of the show. Their role in the story will be minimal.

Audition II

Beck stepped into the room. It looked like any other audition room. There was an empty space at the front for the candidate and a row of chairs for the casting director and his assistants. This time however there were much more people there. He could see Sikowitz's friend - the producer of the show, next to him were two of the writers and various people involved with the show. His attention however was attracted by two of the show's stars sitting by the producer. He remembered the guy from a show he used to watch on Nick in his early teens, obviously he was trying to make a comeback. Next to him was a short pretty blonde who Beck definitely remembered from her previous shows on TV and from one horror move Jade had dragged him to – Britt Robertson.

"Alright Beck, you'll two read troughs with Matthew and with Britt to see if you are right for the role of the surfing buddy of Matthew's character." Beck nodded and took his place. He knew they were considering him for the part. The scene with Matthew went easily. Beck's laid back attitude meshed well with Matthew's character's cocky one. At the end of the scene both the producer and the writers seemed pleased. Next was a scene with Britt. Beck scanned the script quickly and took his place. Britt made a few brisk steps and plowed right into him with enough force to make him stumble.

"Watch where you go!" Her angry outburst came. Beck steadied himself and gave her a lazy, amused smile.

"Hey girl you are the one who crashed into me." She looked back at him as if seeing him just now.

"Oh right, I'm sorry." She apologized smiling embarrassed. Her head turned back off stage as she continued. "I was trying to get away from that ass."

"Oh him, that's just the way he is." Beck told her with an easy shrug after he followed her gaze.

"Does he really think this is the way to impress a girl?" She asked him incredulously, her eyes never wavering.

"I don't know. You tell me." Beck replied with amusement. "You are the one who can't take her eyes off of him." Her blond head whipped back to face him; expression of outrage was clear on her face.

"And scene." The producer called out. The producer and the writers spoke with each other in hushed whispers for a few minutes that seemed like hours to Beck. Than the producer congratulated him and told him that he got the role. Beck was so happy that latter for the life of him he couldn't remember how he got from thanking the producer and the casting director to being outside, telling the good news to Tori and Jade.

"Congratulations Beck, you did it." Tori greeted his news with a hug. "We all did it." She gave him a nice big kiss on the cheek. That earned her a mild death glare from Jade. She relented after Tori pulled her in a group hug.

"Vega, you are such a sap." Jade grumbled but Beck observed that she wasn't trying too hard to get out of it.
