Early Saturday morning, Beck, Cat, Jade, André, Robbie, and Rex were all gathered inside Beck's trailer. Beck speaks up, "So, the reason Cat and I called everyone over is," he pauses for a second.
"Why did you call us over at this ungodly hour?" interrupts Jade.
Beck sighs, "I'm getting to that."
Rex jumps in, "Do you know when I wake up this early? Weekdays! It's Saturday and I need my beauty sleep!"
Robbie shakes Rex, "Be nice! What is it, Beck?"
Beck pulls out his phone, "We think something happened to Tori last night."
André sits up in his chair, "What do you mean? Was she actin' unusual when you all were working?"
"No, it's not that." Beck opens his phone and goes to his messages. "We got a text from her last night saying she was going on this, 'impromptu vacation' with her parents and that she couldn't help with the script."
Jade interjects again, "So, you just wanted to tell us you're sad she's gone for the weekend? It's not like she's very good at script-writing anyway." The black-haired girl glares at Beck, fully knowing he has a thing for Tori after seeing them almost kiss before the Platinum music awards.
"That's not it! Tell them what you told me, Beck," Cat says as she pulls on the sleeve of his brown leather jacket.
Beck says, "There's no way that's true. Tori told me herself that her parents were going to Las Vegas for the weekend. She couldn't be on vacation."
Cat raises her hand slightly, "I even called Tori's house to talk to Trina and she said she didn't come home last night." Cat frowns and rubs her arm.
The teens give each other confused looks. "What do you think happened to her?" Robbie asks.
Beck replies, "I don't know, but it's weird that Tori would send a text like this. It's not like her to skip out on homework. We even tried calling her phone and she didn't answer. We think everyone should check around and find some clues to what happened. Cat and I are going to Nozu and see if maybe she went there after we left school last night. Someone should go talk to Trina."
At once, everyone but Robbie puts their finger to their nose, marking that they won't have the unpleasant task of talking to Tori's big sister.
Robbie throws his arm up in defeat, "Oh, come on! Trina's awful!" Everyone nods in agreement. "Fine, but you're coming with me," he says to Rex as he gets up and leaves. From inside, the teens can hear Rex's objections to going to Trina's house.
André stands up and puts his jacket on, "I guess I'll go to Sikowitz's house to see if he's heard anything."
Jade sits with her arms crossed, causing her to show more cleavage in her low-cut black shirt, not saying anything. Beck and Cat look at her, waiting to hear something.
"So? Are you going to check somewhere?" Beck asks.
Jade groans and rolls her eyes, "Yeah, I'll check the school. It is the last place you saw her. I'll keep in touch. But if you find your girlfriend, let me know so I can get on with my day." She gets up and walks to the door.
The boy groans, having heard this accusation before. "You know we're not dating, we're just friends."
The dark-haired vixen raises an eyebrow to him, "Surrre." She opens the door and leaves while Beck runs his hand through his hair in frustration. Outside, Jade walks to her car in anger. Admittedly, Tori and she were friends, but she could only stand so much of her optimistic, nice girl personality. The last thing she wanted to do today was go running around trying to find her. Suddenly, a thought crosses her mind which brings a smile to her face. If something really has happened to her rival and she's the one to help her, she could hold it over her head forever. Jade hops in the car and heads to Hollywood Arts.
