Cat and Brooke entered the costume design classroom. "Hey everybody! This is Brooke! She's Jade's little sister!" Cat announced. A few students waved and said hi. Cat took Brooke over to her desk. "Okay! So, I've already sketched out some costume ideas!" Cat told the girl. Brooke stepped closer to look at Cat's sketchbook. Cat flipped through her designs, showing Brooke her favorite ones. "I like that one!" Brooke said, pointing at a drawing of a purple princess dress. Cat squealed. "This is one of my favorites too!" She continued showing Brooke her designs until the teacher, Mrs. Hatter came into the room and started class. "Hello guys and gals! I have some very exciting news to share with y'all! The school is having a contest. You need to choose a musical that you'd like to see performed at Hollywood Arts and design costumes for it. You will present your work. Then people will vote on the best designs. Whoever has the most votes will have their costumes used in a production of the musical they choose! You will be emailed more details. There are no repeats allowed for the musicals. Therefore, I should not see three projects with costumes for Steamboat Suzy. Once you choose a musical, write it on the board so everyone knows that it's off limits. You are allowed to have people help you as long as they are not in this class or have taken this class before," Mrs. Hatter announced. "Okay! Get to work!"
Cat turned to Brooke. She squealed happily. "This is so exciting! This is going to be so much fun!" she said. "Now what musical should I do...?" Brooke thought. "Don't do Steamboat Suzy because I bet someone else is going to design costumes for it," she said. She and Cat brainstormed. "Ah ha! I've got it! I'll do Beauty and the Beast!" Cat announced. She ran up to the board and wrote down her musical choice. "Alright! Let's start designing," she said. She looked up pictures of Belle's blue dress from different productions. Brooke drew "designs" too. She and Cat worked diligently for the next hour.
By the time costume design class had ended, Cat had a finished sketch of Belle's blue dress and Mrs. Potts' costume, as well as some unfinished sketches of other characters' costumes.
Cat and Brooke went back to Jade'a locker. "Jade! Cat is designing costumes for Beauty and the Beast and if a lot of people vote for her, her costumes will be used in a performance!" Brooke excitedly told her older sister. Focused on writing down a note to herself about the homework assignment from script writing class, Jade nodded, "Mhmmm...interesting." Once she finished the note, she put it in her bag and grabbed her textbook and note cards. "I have French class with Mrs. Dubin next. This is my last class before lunch," she told Brooke as she shut her locker. She and Brooke walked to French class. "Mrs. Dubin, this is my little sister, Brooke. Principal Helen said she could come to my classes with me," Jade explained for what felt like the thousandth time. Mrs. Dubin gave Jade a stern look, "That's Madame Dubin to you. And you know the rules. No English in the French room unless otherwise stated." Annoyed, Jade sighed and rolled her eyes. "Bonjour, MADAME Dubin. Elle est ma souer. Elle s'appelle Brooke," she said. Mrs. Dubin nodded. "Bonjour, Madame Dubin. Je mappelle Brooke. Jade est ma souer. Comment t'allez vous?" Brooke said in fluent French. Brooke was fluent in French and English. She learned some French for an audition and decided to continue taking classes. Jade, on the other hand, was fluent in English and Spanish. Mrs. Dubin stared at Brooke in astonishment. "Tu parles en français?" Brooke nodded politely. "Oui, je parle en français," she said. Mrs. Dubin and Brooke had a short conversation in French before class started. Mrs. Dubin taught for an hour. During class, she even asked Brooke to say phrases so that the class could hear how the words were pronounced. Jade and Brooke went back to Jade's locker after class ended.
It was 12:00 pm, and all the morning classes were over. Jade put her books back in her locker and took out Brooke's bag of souvenirs. "Ready for lunch? You'll get to meet some of my friends...and some people that aren't exactly my...friends," Jade said. Brooke smiled. "Yay! I've always wanted to meet your friends! From what I've heard you tell me about them on the phone, they sound awesome!" she told Jade. She and Brooke tried to make their way through the crowded hallways, but poor Brooke kept getting stepped on or hit with backpacks due to people not seeing her. Annoyed that people kept accidentally hurting Brooke, Jade and Brooke moved towards a non-crowded area by some lockers. Jade bent over and picked Brooke up. She held Brooke on her right hip, before merging back into the crowd. "Now people won't step on you or hit you with their stuff," she told Brooke.
Eventually, they made to the Asphalt Cafe. Jade, still carrying Brooke headed towards the table that she and her friends sit at everyday. André, Tori, and Beck were already sitting down. She placed Brooke down next to Beck, who was on her left side, before sitting down next to Brooke's right side. Tori and André stopped mid conversation when they both saw Brooke. Jade noticed them staring. "What?!" she snapped. André leaned over to Tori. "You see the fun sized Jade too, right?" he whispered in her ear. Tori nodded. "Who's your friend?" she asked. "Ugh. She's my little sister," Jade responded. Tori raised an eyebrow, "YOU have a little sister?" Jade rolled her eyes. "Yes, Vega. I do in fact have a little sister, but she's been in New York for the last year and a half." André chuckled. "It looks like someone put Jade in the dryer for too long!" he joked. Jade gave him an annoyed glance. "Ha. Ha. Very funny," she said sarcastically. Before anyone else could say anything, Robbie and Cat joined everyone at the table. "Heyyy!" Cat greeted as she sat down. "Whoa! There are two Jades!" Robbie exclaimed, noticing Brooke. Brooke waved at everyone. "Guys, this is Jade's younger sister, Brooke. She's been in New York for the last year and a half because she was performing on Broadway and filming part of a movie," Beck explained. "Well, it is very nice to meet you, Sweetie," Tori said. Brooke smiled at Tori. "Thank you!" Brooke whispered something in her sister's ear. Jade then put Bookie's souvenir bag in the middle of the table. "Everybody! I have an announcement to make!" Brooke began. Everyone looked at the little girl. "I got you all soup and deers from New York!" Confused, everybody looked at each other. "She means souvenirs," Jade explained, before Brooke continued speaking. "Even though I just met some of you, I still wanted to get you something. Jade talked about you all a lot on the phone, and you all sounded super cool," Brooke said. She reached into the bag and took out a wrapped large rectangular box. She looked at the name she wrote on it. The name said 'Tori.' "This is for you, Tori," she said, handing the box to Tori. "Aww thank you!" Tori said. Brooke reached back into the bag and pulled out a flat rectangular box wrapped in metallic blue paper. She looked at the name, which read 'Robbie.' She handed Robbie his gift, "Here, Robbie. This is for you." She took another gift out and looked at the name. 'André' was written down. She handed André a small square box wrapped in musical note paper. She gave Cat a large box wrapped in cupcake printed paper. She gave Beck a small square box wrapped in rainbow paper. Finally, she handed Jade a large rectangular box wrapped in metallic purple paper.
"Ok! Open your presents!" Brooke said excitedly. Everyone began unwrapping their boxes. Tori held up her gift. "No way! The SingIt 3000?! Thank you so much!" she exclaimed. The SingIt 3000 was a device that could be hooked up to a television, computer, or even a cellphone. It trained helped singer work on their pitch, breathing, and other techniques. Brooke nodded happily. "There are over three hundred new songs and features! Plus it's the limited edition New York themed edition! Only 1000 were made!" she said. André held up his gift next. "Sweet! A Make Some Noise gift card! Now I can buy that new guitar I've had my eye on! Thanks, Baby Jade!" he said. Make Some Noise was André's favourite music store. It sold top quality instruments, sheet music, and other neat things. Next, Robbie showed everyone his gift. It was a picture of bicycle and a custom design receipt. "A new bike?! Thanks!" he exclaimed. Brooke grinned. "I couldn't fit it in the bag, so it's being sent to your house. It's just like the one principal Helen ran over, but like 20 times cooler! I had it custom made for you!" she told him. Cat held up her gift and squealed loudly. "LOOK! A red velvet cupcake scented elephant! I'm gonna name him Cream Cheese — like the frosting!" Cat looked into her gift box and gasped. "And a scented charm bracelet! There's a hamburger and a donut...AND red velvet cupcake too!" she added. She reached into the bag on last time and pulled out a pillow with a picture of the Empire State Building on it. "Flip the pillow and look at the back!" Brooke told Cat. Cat turned the pillow over and almost fainted when she saw what was on the back. "MONA PATTERSON'S AUTOGRAPH?!" she joyously screeched as she continued reading the back of the pillow. "She even wrote me a message! It says: Dear Caterina, Thanks for being my biggest fan! Stay sweet and follow your dreams!" she squealed. She gave Brooke a big hug. "Thanks!" she said. Beck showed everyone his gift. "Aww! She got me..." Beck read the rest of the piece of paper in his hand, "A PICK UP TRUCK?!" He picked Brooke up and hugged her tightly. "How did you know I wanted a pick up truck?" he asked. Brooke smiled. "Jade told me that you've been wanting one so you can hook it up to your RV. It's a bill of sale. You can pick it up anytime, just call the phone number on the notecard that I included first," she answered. Beck sat back down, and Brooke crawled onto his lap. Brooke picked up a cucumber slice from Beck's salad and munched on it. Jade opened her present last. She looked it and took out a red PearPhone XT Plus, a red PearPad 4, and a red PearBook 5. "A PearPhone XT Plus?! And the new PearPad and PearBook! These aren't going to be available in stores for another six and a half weeks! How?!" she exclaimed. "The owner and creator of the Pear Company saw me on Broadway, and then he met me backstage. Then he asked me to be a spokesperson for Pear Products, and he showed me a bunch of unreleased new devices! He even gave me a PearPhone XT Plus and PearPad 4! I asked him if he had any new red Pear Products, and he gave me these to give to you!" she replied. Jade hugged her little sister, touched by her kindness. "Wow, Jade...you're being really nice. Maybe you should take your sister everywhere with you," Tori joked. Jade shot Tori a look. "Ha. Ha. Very funny," she replied sarcastically. Jade began getting up from the table. "Jadey! Where are you going?" Brooke asked. "I'm gonna get something to eat from the Grub Truck," Jade answered. "Want to come with me?" Brooke shook her head. "No, it's okay! I want to talk to your friends more!" she replied. "Alright, kiddo," Jade said. She patted Brooke on the head and headed towards the Grub Truck.
When Jade came back with her food, Brooke and the group were talking about the movie that Brooke was starring in. "No way! The director said we could visit the set?!" exclaimed Tori. "Yeah! He said you guys could visit whenever you want...as long you don't disrupt the cast and crew," Brooke said. Jade sat back down next to Beck and started eating. Brooke looked at Jade's plate. "Ooh! French fries!" she exclaimed, taking a fry from her sister's plate. The gang continued talking and eating until their next classes started.
