Hey Guys!
I'm considering re-working Beck Gets Jaded in order to stay truer to the characters, but I just couldn't keep this story out of my head...
It is the same format as BGJ - two parts - but I need some help on the ending!
Storyline: Time for the dirty secrets to come out!
Truly the episode that should've happened, but didn't!
It is HisTORI
"That was an amazing experience!" Robbie proclaimed, raising his arms in victory as he and Andre walked towards their lockers.
"What was amazing?" Tori asked trailing from her conversation with Beck as she loaded and unloaded items from her locker.
"He just used the boys new bathroom!" Andre replied straight-faced with a mocking tone, which Robbie was oblivious to as he enthusiastically continued "It was incredible! Have you tried them yet Beck?"
"No. It's, er… still on my to do list…" he mumbled, raising his brows in response.
.
"Well, I'm glad tinkle-aid was such a huge success." Tori beamed, slinging her full bag on her shoulder. A glaze formed over her eyes when she added, "It is a shame Moose couldn't make it."
"Yeah, what happened to him?" a curious Andre questioned as he threw open his own locker.
"Oh," Beck sighed running a hand casually through his floppy hair "He met a girl or something."
Andre's eyes lit up. "Anyone we know?"
"I don't think so," came the honest reply.
.
"Are you guys coming to mine tonight?" Tori asked happily, snapping out of her Moose fantasy.
"To work on the musical theatre project?" Andre confirmed, "Sure, I'm in."
"Cat called this morning to remind me, so we'll both be there." Robbie agreed.
All eyes turned to Beck. "I have Sikowitz's assignment to do with Jade tonight, but I'm sure I can get a lift with her."
"You two good now?" Tori asked.
"Yeh, I think so... Honestly, I'm still getting used to it." A shadow of a smile crossed his face.
"Cool, well I'll see you tonight." Tori affirmed before waving goodbye to them and heading for the door.
"Jaaaaaaadddeee," Cat whined.
"Look, I said if you carried on telling that joke I would cut the book up!"
"but," Cat began her bottom lip trembling, a glare from Jade silenced her briefly, "It was a really good joke." she whispered.
Jade rolled her eyes, a pang of guilt spread through her body – not that she showed it on her face. She sighed inwardly before apologising (in her own way)
"I'm sorry you tried to tell me a really stupid joke and that I cut your really stupid book up. I'll buy you a shiny new one."
Cat's face immediately lit up. "Thanks Jadey!"
"Don't call me that!" she snapped automatically.
.
Jade checked her watch. "I have to go," she said standing up and reaching for her bag "I have that project thing with Beck. I'll see you at Tori's."
"K,k," Cat replied, "Oh!" Jade turned to face the redhead "Are you meeting Beck?... Are you two…?" Cat crossed her two index fingers and tapped them together repeatedly.
Jade furrowed her brows, "What is…?" She asked mimicking the finger action, but before Cat could answer Jade impatiently continued, "Beck and I are just friends. Why do people have to be weird about it?"
Cat watched helplessly as Jade stormed off. Looking at the scattered pages of the book an idea formed.
"Thanks for giving me a lift." Beck smiled as he Jade got into her car and put their seat-belts on. "I can't believe my truck needed so much work, least I'll be able to collect it tomorrow." Jade just 'hummed' in response.
Jade began to move out of the car park. "So…" Beck drew the word out awkwardly to try and fill the intense silence.
"Soooo…" Jade mocked.
.
"It's cool. You know, that we can hang out like this."
"Yeah. I guess so." Jade replied with a genuine smile. She had missed having Beck. She had forgotten in all of the weird tension that followed their break up, that actually, she liked just hanging out with him. Beck, despite how much it irked her, was truly a good friend.
.
"Was that a smile I just saw on the face of Jade West?" he teased, feigning shock.
"Was that a smart-mouth comment from Beck Oliver that I just heard?" she shot back with a playful cynicism -"Don't make me reach for my scissors." the empty threat that followed.
"I missed this." Beck breathed seriously. It was in a hushed tone, but Jade heard it. Before she could respond, Beck had already begun teasing again.
.
"God Jade, you should learn to clean your car out!" he exclaimed as he began rummaging through the rubbish in her foot well. He found an empty bottle of 'lima lima juice' and held it up to show her. "You told me you'd never drink this again after you found out it was Sinjin's favourite soda?"
"Yeah, well, I changed my mind." She replied flippantly.
"I wonder what other Jade West secrets this foot well holds." He joked mischievously.
.
Beck continued to bat round the trash until he noticed something familiar. There staring up at him was a logo he recognised. A 'Cathy's Canadian Snack Bar' business card was lying amongst the litter. "Wow!" he exclaimed, rescuing the rare card from the foot well. "Where did you get this?" he asked showing Jade who briefly glanced away from the road to look.
"Oh. I'm not sure." She replied inexpressively, returning her attention to the traffic.
"Moose and I used to go there as kids." Beck started…
.
There was a deafening silence at his pause. Jade already knew what was coming. Beck turned the card over in his fingers and staring back at him in black and white was a number he recognised from his contacts list. Realisation.
.
"You're the girl that Moose was with on the night of the tinkle-aid?" there was a quiver of rage to his tone. Jade remained stoically calm and replied casually,
"What does it matter…"
"What does it matter?" his voice was raised; the term 'spitting feathers' was now applicable. "The night you were supposed to be singing back up and supporting me! And you were here, with him. God Jade, you're supposed to be my… my…"
"You're what?" it was her turn to lash out now, and Jade West doesn't take prisoners. "I didn't see you running to support me at the platinum awards?"
"That was different!"
"Was it?"
They began to shout over each other.
"Yeah! I wasn't making out with your best friend, getting his number and…"
"No you were just trying to make out with my enemy!"
Shock. Hurt. Silence.
"And that… is so much worse." Jade whispered.
"So…Ideas?" Tori asked the threesome already assembled in their living room, Cat surrounded by a sea of paper boats.
"Well, actually, Andre and I have been working on something." Robbie beamed.
"Yeh." Andre agreed, "We thought we could do a musical scene set around a dinner party."
Cat and Tori gave a quick glance at each other, before nodding for the boys to continue.
"Move to the table," Robbie suggested. "To y'know, set the scene!"
"Watch my boats!" Cat uncharacteristically growled as Robbie almost crushed one under his shoe as the group moved to the Kitchen.
"Wait!" Andre called out "Tori, put this on" He passed her a chef hat and an apron before sitting on her left, leaving Robbie the seat on the right, between her and Cat.
.
"Oh my god, this is incredible!" Robbie sung out, motioning to an imaginary plate of food.
"Although it is slightly inedible…" Andre chorused, with a disgusted expression. The boys continued their duet singing opposing views.
"Your food should go down in History! I want you to cook everything I eat."
"Whatever meat you've used is a mystery! Why does the sauce smell of feet."
.
"That is all we have. What do you think?" Tori felt awful looking at Robbie's hopeful face. "Well…" she said, searching for the right words. "Its not… really… emotional enough…"
"Didn't they say we could use songs already written, wouldn't it be easier to pick from songs we know?" Cat interrupted.
Tori nodded, relieved that the topic of conversation was going to move on from mystery feet meat. "She's right. Aaaaand! Do you know what would be fun?"
"This is going to be a rhetorical question…" Andre stated, struggling to retain a groan. Tori ignored him and continued brightly, "If we made a rule. No more talking. We are going to sing everything we want to say until we have our piece sorted."
.
"Are we starting now? I need to peeeeeeeeeeee!" Cat belted out in song.
"TMiiiiiiiiiii!" Andre sung back in response.
I need help with the ending! Do you think that Beck and Jade should get back together or let them agree to be friends? (leaving them to get back together in Tori Fixes Beck and Jade - so it fits in with the series)
I'd love to know what you all think! Thanks for Reading! ^.^
