AN: This is the last one-shot because the holiday season is pretty much over. Thanks for reading. And a HUGE thank you for those of you that reviewed or favorite/followed to let me know what you thought or that you liked it. I had fun writing these and I hope you liked reading them (at some level). One question, should I keep writing one-shots (not holiday related) or do you think they are too cliché and there are way too much of those out there?

AN2: Happy 2013 everyone.

"Your stupid phone is vibrating again" yelled an annoyed Jade.

"Can you pick it up?" Beck yelled back.

Jade reached over to his phone and answered it.

"Why the heck are you calling?" Jade said in a disgusted tone, making Beck hope it wasn't his grandparents, or any of his other relatives.

She rolled her eyes at whatever the person on the other end said before commenting, "And you decided it was a good idea to ask Beck to be your date?"

Beck was relieved to hear the word "date." It meant it wasn't a family member.

"We're not interested." And with that Jade hung up.

"Who was it?" Beck asked as he walked up to Jade.

"Stupid Vega."

Beck exhaled an exaggerated sigh of relief.

"What was THAT for?" Jade glared at her boyfriend.

"I'm just relieved that it was Tori. She's use to your verbal abuse," he teased.

"I don't verbally abuse Tori. And what I just said wasn't even mean," she protested.

"That's true." Beck agreed, making Jade smirk. "But only the second part," he continued.

"What?"

"I still think you verbally abuse Tori."

"Whatever." Jade brushed it off and typed away on her phone.

"So what did she want?"

"She wanted you to love her."

"Jade…" Beck warned.

"She wanted to see if we were going to that party."

"The one at Mark's house?"

"The huge party at Mark's house that everyone at Hollywood Arts is at right now," Jade replied in her Tori voice.

"I already told her that we weren't going."

"I did too, but she wanted to make sure we didn't want to go because it was just so much fun and so crazy right now," Jade went back to her Tori voice.

"You don't right?" Beck questioned, wanting to make sure.

"Not really."

"You sure?"

"We went through this conversation already."

"I just wanted to make sure."

"Why? Do you want to?" Jade looked up from her phone.

"No. I'm the one who suggested this, remember?" The couple had decided to stay in Beck's RV for New Year's Eve. They had just gotten back together and Beck wanted to spend a holiday together, just the two of them. Christmas had been taken over by Beck's relatives and Jade's father's company stuff, so they couldn't spend Christmas together, which made Beck insistent on spending New Year's with Jade, just the two of them.

"Yeah, but you sounded like you changed your mind."

"I would never change my mind about spending New Year's with my lovely girlfriend," Beck said, reaching out to hug Jade.

But he was pushed off and told, "Get off of me you sap."

"I'm sad. Do you see how sad I am right now? I'm crying," Beck replied.

"Cat's coming over later." Jade ignored Beck's pouting.

"Why?"

"Why can't she?"

"I didn't mean it like that."

"She's bringing tea."

"Wait what?" Beck was completely confused now.

"She's bringing New Year's tea….and Robbie." Jade said as if that explained everything.

"I'm really confused."

"Cat has a New Year's tea party every year. I don't think I can explain it any better."

Beck nodded. Cat was hard to understand sometimes.

"I'm not sure I want her to come," Beck admitted.

"Why not? I thought Cat was your friend," Jade was surprised Beck, Mr. Please-Jade-you-have-to-learn-to-love-everyone, would say that.

"We were supposed to spend New Year's Eve alone." Beck's brow furrowed.

"She won't be here all night. Besides, if you don't let her come, she might cry for week. Or beat you up." Jade warned.

"Speaking of that, why is Cat so good at…violence?"

"Long story," Jade brushed the question off.

"Fine, she can come."

"I wasn't asking for your approval. I was telling you."

"I know. It's always that way."

Jade just glared at him and didn't reply.

"So why kind of tea is Cat bringing?" Beck asked, trying to see if Jade was actually angry.

"Just ask what you want to ask." Jade was good at telling what people were thinking. She often chose to ignore it, but she knew. And Jade was especially good at reading Beck.

"Why would Cat cry if you don't let her come?"

Jade just sighed and rolled her eyes. But Beck looked at her expectedly.

So Jade answered, "Cat and I always spend New Year's Eve together. We've been together on New Year's Eve for the past 10…11…12…years. 12 years."

"That's a long time."

"And we've had New Year's tea every single year."

"Oh. Sorry." Beck looked a little sheepish.

"Why are you sorry?"

"I didn't know that it was a tradition."

"I really don't care."

"Cat cares."

"Cat isn't here right now, is she?" Jade raised her eyebrows as she said this.

"Can I try the New Year's tea?"

"I guess."

"Jadeeeeeeeee" Beck started poking her.

"What?"

"It's New Year's Eve."

"You just realize that? I'm so glad you found a calendar." Jade was definitely known for her sarcasm.

"Jadeeeeeeee" Beck started again.

"Fine. What?"

"You know what happens at midnight?"

Jade looked up from her phone and raised her eyebrow.

Beck continued, "We should practice."

"We've had plenty of practice. Stupid." Jade said before leaning towards her boyfriend.

Fin.
