"We start filming today!" Cat squealed as she ran into the kitchen.

Jade groaned at the high pitched squeal and glared at her roommate. "Can you wait until a decent hour to squeal? Or at least wait until I finish my coffee?"

Cat giggled and covered her mouth with her hands. "Sorry, Jade," She mumbled though her hands.

Jade rolled her eyes and pushed a plate of waffles with strawberries and bacon on the side towards her best friend. "Here, eat up. You have to be at the studio by six."

"Waffles with strawberries and bacon on the side! Thanks, Jade!" Cat sat down and immediately started eating her breakfast as fast as she could.

Jade rolled her eyes again, continuing to sip her coffee when the door opened.

"Hey, ho!" Robbie called.

"We're in the kitchen, Rob," Jade called back.

Robbie entered the kitchen, smiling at the girls. "Yum, that looks like a big breakfast, Cat."

Cat nodded as she swallowed a big bite. "Jade made it for me!"

Robbie eyed the girl in confusion. Jade shrugged like it was no big deal and finished her coffee.

"Do you want something, Robbie? I have a few waffles left," Jade asked as she stood up and went to rinse her coffee mug.

"Nah, I ate at home but thanks, Jade. That's oddly nice of you," Robbie said.

"I've been up since three and this is my third cup of coffee; you caught me in a good mood," Jade explained.

Robbie started to ask why she was up so early but decided he didn't want to ruin her good mood. Instead, he stood watching Cat finish her breakfast in silent.

"That was delicious, Jade!" Cat exclaimed, standing up and putting her plate in the sink.

"Yeah, whatever. Now, go put on your shoes so you and Robbie can head out," Jade commanded.

"KK." Cat skipped off to her room, slipping on her yellow flower print flats to match her blue flouncy ruffle skirt, floral bustier camisole and yellow cardigan. She pulled her hair back in a perfect ponytail and added a pearl bracelet to complete her look. She skipped out to the living room where Robbie was waiting by the door. "Bye, Jade!"

Jade mumbled a bye from her spot on the couch as the two left.

The whole way to the studio, Robbie listened to Cat tell him about her phone call with her brother the night before. Apparently, her brother almost got arrested again but ended up not due to…well, Robbie wasn't sure. He got really confused after Cat's explanation. Robbie shook his head as he pulled into the studio.

"You ready, Cat?" Robbie asked.

Cat nodded excitedly as Robbie got out to open her door for her. "What a gentleman," Cat said smiling at him then skipping off into the studio.

Once they made it to the door, they immediately got whisked off their new trailers outside of the studio. Trina and Zoey were waiting for Cat in hers when Cat entered.

"Trina, I have my own trailer! How cool is this!" Cat squealed, spinning around to look around the trailer.

"Yes, so cool. You can look at it later. Zoey here is going to take us to the hair and makeup trailer," Trina said, handing Cat her schedule for today. "Let's go."

"KK." Cat followed Trina and Zoey across the parking lot to the hair and makeup trailer. Zoey led them inside then left to go to the wardrobe trailer. Cat was introduced to her hair and makeup artist, Katie, and started getting her makeup done right away. Trina stood nearby, clicking her tongue disapprovingly. Soon, she got fed up and left the trailer and returned with the head of the makeup department.

"She's doing Cat's makeup all wrong!" Trina told the head.

"What do you mean?" The head of the department, Abby, asked.

"Cat's character Courtney, is supposed to be a cheerleader! Not a goth! Cat's eyes are way too dark," Trina explained. "Move over, Kate."

Trina pushed the poor girl out of the way and started removing Cat's makeup. The girl mumbled about her name being Katie but was ignored by both Trina and Abby. A few minutes later, Trina finished one of Cat's eyes and showed Abby.

"Yes, I see what you are saying. Katie, why don't you go help Michael while Trina does Cat," Abby said, motioning for Katie to leave. "Carry on, Trina."

Trina grinned and continued to do Cat's makeup while Katie walking off, mumbled incoherently. Once Trina finished Cat's makeup, she started curling the ends of Cat's ponytail. She finished everything within thirty minutes while Katie was still helping Michael with another girl. The two went to wardrobe where Cat went to change into her black and green cheerleading uniform.

"So, I hear you're Cat's hair and makeup artist now," Zoey said glancing at Trina.

"Already? News travels fast here."

"Yeah, Abby came and told me after she told the producer. And you did a good job, too. Cat looks great."

"Thanks," Trina smiled as Cat came out. She went over and helped Cat with the uniform, fluffing the skirt.


Beck stirred sugar into his coffee, trying to wake up. He wanted to finish his coffee fast and head over to Jade and Cat's before Andre woke up. Ever since Andre's 'advice,' Beck has been avoiding Andre like the plague. Before Beck could even take his first sip of his coffee, Andre walked into the kitchen. The best friends looked at each before turning away.

"You're up early," Beck said, breaking the silence.

"Yeah, I couldn't sleep."

Beck nodded and took a sip out of his coffee, his mind buzzing with all the things that made him mad at his best friend.

Andre sighed at the silence, deciding to break it. "Listen, dude, about the other night, I'm sorry for what I said. It's your life and I shouldn't judge who you like."

"That's right, you shouldn't," Beck started, his anger building up. "Especially with all the ganks you date."

"Excuse me?"

"Andre, you've dated more girls than I could count! You go through a new girl once a week and all of them are horrible! Then you have the nerve to tell me that Jade is horrible. Remember Hope? That gank changed your whole look! Jade is nothing compared to Hope."

Andre bowed his head, ashamed of himself. "Man, you're right. Hope was way worse than Jade. But I don't go through a new girl every week."

"Oh, really? Where were you after your performance Friday night?"

"I was out with Keeko."

"And last Friday night?"

"With Sherry. Oh," Andre realized the truth. "You're right."

Beck smirked at his best friend and drank his coffee while Andre sat down.

"And now I feel like a gank. Beck, dude, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have judged you or Jade. If you like Jade, you should go for it but I wish you luck," Andre apologized.

"Thanks, man."

Andre held out his fist for a fist bump. Beck chuckled and returned his fist bump. He stood up, taking his mug to the sink. "Well, I'm heading to Jade and Cat's. Jade is supposed to hear something about her script today."

"Do you think someone would want to buy it?" Andre asked.

"If not, I'm going to help her."

"Wow, either you are whipped or her script is that good," Andre joked, laughing a little until Beck glared at him. "Right, sorry."

"I'll see you later, man." Beck waved and left the apartment, walking down the hallway to Jade's apartment. Once there, he let himself in to see Jade pacing in front of the couch again. "Jade?"

Jade stopped and turned to face him. "Hey."

"The mail hasn't ran yet, why are you pacing?" Beck asked walking over towards her.

"Because I can't handle this, Beck. I have a bad feeling about this," Jade answered, starting to pace again.

"Jade, you need to calm down. Why don't we sit and watch The Scissoring?" Beck suggested, getting out the DVD and putting it in the DVD player. He sat down on the couch, patting the spot beside him. Jade sighed and sat beside him as Beck pressed play.


"Robbie, look at me! I'm a cheerleader!" Cat exclaimed as she ran up to Robbie.

Robbie looked Cat up and down, smiling at her cute cheerleading uniform. "Well look at you, cutie!"

Cat giggled, twirling her skirt. "I like your new glasses."

Robbie pushed the new, nerdier glasses up his nose. Instead of his old square ones, his character wore rounder glasses. "Really?"

"No, I think you look silly. Why can't you wear your square glasses?" Cat wondered.

"Because my character is a big nerd and wears round glasses."

"Oh," Cat answered. "I still like your other glasses better."

"Cat, Robbie, we need you on set," The director told them.

"Shall we?" Robbie asked offering Cat his arm.

Cat giggled and put her arm through his. "We shall."


Jade turned off the TV as soon as the end credits started rolling. "Can you go check the mail? I don't think I can."

Beck nodded, standing up. "Of course. I'll be right back."

Jade watched Beck leave then went to the kitchen, immediately pouring a glass of wine. She drowned the wine in one sip and poured more. She was working on drowning this glass when Beck came with an envelope in his hand. Jade finished her wine and snatched the envelope from him. With her hand shaking, she opened the envelope and read the letter. Beck stood by her, waiting patiently. Jade crumbled up the letter and threw it on the other side, sinking into the stool by the island.

"It was rejected," Jade cried.

Beck stared at the paper that Jade threw then sat down beside her. "Jade, wow. I-I just can't believe it. Nobody wanted it?" Jade shook her head. Beck nodded, looking again at the paper then clapped his hands together. "Okay, well you know what this means?" Jade shook her head, looking at him like he was crazy. "This means I'm going to help you. We're going to make this movie ourselves."

"Beck, are you crazy? That requires money! Money we don't have," Jade reminded him.

"We don't but you know someone who does," Beck said.

"You want to ask my mom and stepdad, don't you?"

"Look, I know you don't want their help and you want to get there on your own but sometimes you need some help. Especially when it comes to money."

Jade sighed, unsure what to do. "Do you really want to help me?" Beck nodded. "Alright. I guess we're doing this."

"Hey, maybe it's a good thing it was rejected. This way you have all the control and can do whatever you want," Beck assured her as she gathered a notebook.

Jade shrugged, smiling slightly. "Maybe you're right."


"TORI!" Trina yelled as soon as she opened the door. "TORI!"

Tori poked her head out of the kitchen. "Trina, you don't have to yell. I'm right here."

"Tori, the most amazing happened today on set!" Trina exclaimed, running over to Tori and pulling on her arm.

"Ow! Trina, that's my arm. Stop pulling it!" Tori cried, yanking her arm away from her sister's grasp. "Why are you so excited?"

"You know how I'm Cat's costume designer?"

"Yes, Trina, I know."

"Well, now I'm Cat's hair and makeup artist!"

"Really? That is so cool! How did that happen?" Tori asked.

"Cat's original makeup artist was putting on way too dark makeup on her! She plays a cheerleader! Not a goth! So, I pushed the girl out of the way and did her makeup. Abby, the head of the makeup and hair, loved it and hired me for Cat!"

"Trina, that's amazing!" Tori congratulated, hugging her sister. "I'm so happy for you!"

"Thanks, Tori. I can't wait for this! This could be my big break!"

"Then we must celebrate!" Tori squealed, shaking her shoulders in a little dance. "I'll get the wine."


"Thanks for dropping me off, Robbie. Are you sure you don't want to stay for dinner?" Cat asked.

Robbie shook his head. "No, thanks. I'm going to eat dinner with my grandparents tonight. See you tomorrow." Robbie waved and left.

"Bye!" Cat yelled after him then closed the door, humming as she went into the kitchen. Jade was sitting on a stool at the island, writing down in her notebook. Beck stood across from her punching things into a calculator. "Hi!"

Jade and Beck looked up in surprised.

"Cat, hey. How was filming?" Jade asked, setting her pen down and stretching her arms out.

"It was great! We did some really cool scenes. Robbie and I had a few together and I had to yell at him!" Cat giggled. "Whatcha you doing?"

Jade looked at Beck and sighed. "Beck and I are working on something. We don't know if it's going to happen for sure though."

"KK. Do we have any waffles left?" Cat went out to the fridge and started digging.

"You aren't having waffles for dinner. There's some mac and cheese under the counter and maybe some chicken," Jade told her.

Cat sighed, sadly but went to search for the mac and cheese.

"Well, I better head back. I'll be back around one tomorrow, okay? I have an audition tomorrow morning," Beck said, standing up straight and stretching. "What time are you heading over?"

"I'll probably go over tomorrow night. I'm not sure when he goes into work," Jade replied, straightening all her papers.

"Cool. Do you want me to come with you?"

"Nah, I can handle. I appreciate it though."

Beck nodded. "Bye, Cat."

Cat stood up from looking for the mac and cheese and waved to Beck. "Bye, Beck!"

"Bye, Jade."

"See ya."

Once Beck left, Cat immediately went over to Jade. "What were you two talking about?"

"It's nothing. He's just helping me with something," Jade told her.

"But you never want help. It has to be something," Cat wondered. "Oh, do you like him?"

"What? No! Beck is just helping me with my script. That's all!" Jade denied.

"Aww, that's too bad. You two would make a cute couple," Cat observed, going back to find something to eat.

Jade watched her best friend, deep in thought. She didn't like Beck, did she? No, of course not. He is just trying to help her make a movie. That's it. No feelings there. Unless, he had feelings? He did offer his help. Oh God, what if Beck liked her? Jade shook her head of those thoughts. She was being stupid. Beck just liked her script and was being a good friend. She gathered her notebook and headed to her room to prepare for her talk with her mom and stepdad tomorrow night.
