"SO YEAH. THIS ONE IS LOOOOOONG! HEY, YOU WANTED LONG! ANYWAYS, THIS IS VERY CAKE. I SCRAPPED ALOT OF IT, BECAUSE I JUST COULDN'T GET IT RIGHT. BUT, I'M HAPPY WITH IT NOW. AND YOU BETTER BE TOO CONSIDERING I WORKED ON THIS LITERALLY FROM 4 P.M. TO 4 A.M. I MEAN, I TOOK BREAKS, BUT THE POINT IS; THE CHAPTER DIDN'T GET DONE UNTILL 4 A.M. SOOOO... READ IT!"

When Jake got out of the shower and got dressed, he headed downstairs after checking his texts, which he had none of. He went straight for the front door, not even looking at his angry father.

"Jake, you stop and listen to me right this instant!"

"I'm late for school." Is all Jake said before opening the front door and leaving in his truck.

When Jake arrived at the school, he took a deep breath, preparing to pretend like nothing had happened. Not with his parents, not with Cat. All he cared about right now was passing The Bird Scene so that he could audition for Miss Zordac, the play about the alien girl. He stepped through the doors of school and walked straight for his locker. He had missed first period, which was math, so everyone was in the halls preparing for Sikowits' class. Jake had arrived just in time. He opened up his locker and grabbed his science books. As he dumped the heavy books into his bag, he looked over to Tori's locker where he saw the whole gang hanging out. Well, everyone except for Beck and Jade, who were probably fighting... again. He checked the time on his phone before heading over to the gang. 9:42 A.M.

"Hey, guys. And girls." Jake greeted the gang as he walked up to the gang. Everyone replied with hellos, why are you lates and what's ups. Everyone except for Cat. Cat knew why he was late, and was actually really happy about it. All she said was;

"Hi, boyfriend!" As soon as the group heard that, they had their answer. They understood why they were both late, and they didn't know whether they should be happy about it, or worry about it. I mean, they only had one date. What could've happened that made them get together so quickly. The only person that knew was Tori.

"Hey, Cat! Why are you so late?" Tori asked Cat when she finally arrived at Hollywood Arts halfway through math.

"Well, I overslept because my mom didn't wake me up because Jake was over."

"Wait," Tori began shocked, "Jake slept over? Like, in the same bed?"

"Yeah, but we didn't do anything. I guess I just rolled over on him while I was asleep. He said he didn't want to wake me up. So I asked him if he would be my boyfriend and he said yes."

"Are you happy with him?"

"Well, I think so. When I woke up I was so happy that he didn't leave. And then I was sad because I saw the time and realized that I was late. But then I was happy again because I showed him my outfit and he liked it. And then I was in between happy and sad on my way here, kind of like normal."

"Well, as long as he treats you right, I don't have a problem. If you're happy, then I'm happy."

"Yay!" Cat yelled as she grabbed onto Tori and hugged her tightly.

"OK, Cat. Let me.. go!" Tori said in reply as she struggled to breath.

"kk, sorry!"

"Hey, Cat." Jake said gently in reply to Cat before she hugged him tightly, much like she did to Tori earlier. "So, I see you two are... closer." Said Andre in a slight teasing voice. "Yeah. He's my boyfriend now." Cat said giggling. "I can see that, lil' red." Andre replied jokingly. Andre didn't seem to care that they were together now. In fact, no one really did. It was kind of obvious that it was going to happen. Just then, Jade came stomping bad, seemingly angrier in than usual. Beck followed behind her. "I'm never talking to you again!" Jade yelled at Beck from a few feet in front of him. "Good." Beck shouted back.

"It scares me when they fight." Cat said nervously as she tightened her grip on Jake.

"It's fine. They fight all the time, I'm sure they'll be back to making out in the halls tommorow." Jake replied to his redheaded girlfriend confidently.

"Yeah," Tori began to agree, "I'm sure you're right, Jake."

"I just hope they don't break up again." Cat said hopefully, "They're such a good couple, like us!" Cat said giggling at what she just said.

"Well, we should probably head to class. Gotta do that Bird Scene." Jake said calmly as the group started to walk off towards Sikowits' class.

When the group entered Sikowits' classroom they each took their seats. Jake had moved his up to to the left of Cat's at the front of the room. "Tori, Andre, Cat, Jake; you're late! Why?" Sikowits asked the group once they had finished sitting down. "Well," Tori began, "Jake was really late, so we were trying to figure out why and we were catching up. But, it's fine. Were all here now. Well, except for Beck or Jade." "Well, try not to be late again. Anyways, Jake; The Bird Scene, Go.

Jake stepped up on to the stage. He began his lines;

"It was 1934 when my Wife left me, alone. Living on the prairy was a..." Jake was cut-off by the sound of Beck and Jade entering the room. "Sorry were late," Beck began to explain, "we were," "They don't need to know why were late!" Jade interrupted Beck. "No, but Sikowits does!" Beck snapped back even though Jade was determined to win this one. "No, he doesn't!" "Yes," Beck began but was cut-off by Sikowits, "It's fine! Just take your seats. Now, Jake, please play the scene again.

Jake acted out the scene flawlessly. Even better than Tori, some might say. "Now, how was that?" Jake hopefully asked his teacher. "Good. Very good, Jake." Sikowits approvingly said to Jake. "So did I pass?" Jake asked nervously. "Nope," Sikowits began, "you failed. You'll have to try again." "No," Jake began angrily, "I did that good. You cannot say that I failed it! I was great so I am not doing this again. Sorry, Sike." The whole class began to clap, even Jade. "Good job," Sikowits began, "you have passed The Bird Scene." "What," Jake began in surprise, "I don't get it. You said I..." "Jake, the whole point of The Bird Scene is for the actor who is playing the part to get through the scene without asking for the approval of others. It makes the actor realize that true artists do not need the approval of others to be good. They just need the approval of themselves." Sikowits explained to a very relieved looking Jakob. "Oh. Well that's very clever. I enjoyed the challenge!" Jake said as went to go sit back down with Cat.

After that, the school day went by pretty fast. Bade fighted a lot, which made Cat scared. And when Cat got scared she would hug Jake, which made their relationship stronger. The gang got invited to play Queries For Couples the next night with Sinjin, so everyone would be attending except Andre who had to write a song for music.

It was the night of the game show and Cat was almost ready to leave when Jake arrived at her house to pick her up.

"Oh, hi Jake! Cat's in her room. Would you like to come in?" Cat's mom asked politely.

"Sure. Thanks, Mrs. Valentine." Jake replied, walking in.

"Hey, Cat?" Jake asked, knocking on Cat's bedroom door.

"Hiii!" Cat yelled from the inside, "Come in, I'm almost ready!"

When Jake walked in, Cat instantly jumped on him for a big hug. "Hey, don't hurt me before we go to the show!" Jake said teasingly, hugging Cat back, who giggled back. Cat was wearing a pink tank top with some light blue shorts while she was doing her makeup when Jake walked in. Cat walked back into her bathroom to finish doing her makeup. "Hey," Jake began, "that's queer blue sky!" "What?" Cat asked confused. "The color of your shorts. Queer blue sky!" Jake responded to Cat's question. "That's so mean." Cat said back to Jake unapprovingly. "Relax, babe. I was just kidding. They look great on you. but, don't you want to wear something a little, uhh, fancier maybe for tonight?"

Cat replied, "I'm not going to wear this. This is just my relaxed wear!" Cat giggled at the smooth way she said relaxed. "Well, I'm going to get changed. Stay here, alright?" Cat asked Jake, "Sure, babe. I'll tell Tori that we'll be there in like 30 minutes."

"kk" Cat responded as she shut the bathroom door behind her.

\Texts/

Jake: Hey, Tor. Me and lil' Red will be there in like 30 mins. kk?

Tori: You're spending way too much time with that girl. Alright, see you then.

Jake: Alright, later. And she's my GF, of course I'm going to spend time with her.

When Jake and Cat entered Jake's truck, which had been re-sprayed a mettalic graphite black, Cat looked over at Jake as he started the engine.

"What is it, babe?" Jake asked Cat, a bit concerned.

"Nothing. I just love you."

"I love you, too."

"kk." Cat said giggling.

When Jake and Cat arrived at the office building, they instantly noticed their friends who waved them over to sit with them. As usual, Beck and Jade were text fighting. Cat sat down next to Tori, and Jake sat down next to Cat. As Jake put his arm over Cat's shoulder, she grabbed his hand and giggled while Tori just tried to hide her disgusted look, to which Cat laughed at.

"Hey, can you plug in my phone? Tori asked desperately.

"Sure. A little help please. Help my friend Tori plug in her phone." Cat said to the people down the rows that received the long cable.

"Thanks, guys!" Tori thanked the nice people.

A little later, the game show was starting, but had been stopped by Harvey Goobenstein because the contestants looked to ugly, and so Sinjin was now requesting help from the gang.

"But the only ones dating here are Cat, Jake, beck and Jade." Tori replied to Sinjin's odd question.

"That's okay, will you do it?"

"Sure, I guess but..." Tori was cut-off by Sinjin.

"Great, come on!"

The first question was for Jake and Cat.

"Jake, Cat has bad breath..." Sinjin was cut-off by Cat's gasp.

"Let's just pretend!" Jake said, calming Cat down.

"Jake, do you A; tell Cat she has bad breath, B; ignore it because you love her, or C; dump her? Cat, please lock in what answer you think Jake is going to choose."

"B!" Cat yelled excitedly. "Cat, you're not supposed to say what you chose!" Jade scorned Cat.

"It's OK," Sinjin began, "this is just rehearsal. Jake, what do you pick?"

"Well, I was going to pick B anyways, so B." Jake replied to the game show host.

"Yay!" Cat giggled as she jumped on to Jake.

"Easy now, not in public!" Jake calmed Cat down as she giggled at his innuendo.

The rest of the night went OK up until Beck and Jade's fight, which really scared Cat. Luckily Jake was there for her.

Jake decided to spend the night at Cat's. Half because they needed to get up on time for school, and half because Jake wanted to avoid his father. Which, Cat found out about because Jake couldn't keep secrets from his little Cat.

"Hey," Cat said to Jake when she came out of the bathroom from changing and showering, "I was looking over the script for the play that we're going to be in tommorow, and guess what? It says that in the final scene, my character, Zordac kisses your character, Adam." Jake looked up at Cat, who was smiling nervously. "Yeah, I noticed that, too." Jake replied to Cat, waiting to see what was on her crazy mind.

"So, I was thinking..." Cat giggled, thinking about what she was thinking about.

"Yeah?" Jake pushed Cat on a little.

"Maybe we could practice that kiss now?" Cat giggled nervously after hearing out loud what she was thinking about during her entire shower.

"That works for me." Jake answered, smiling.

Cat walked closer to Jake and put her hands on the back of his head as he stood up and leaned over Cat's face. The kiss was awkward at first. Neither one of them knew how the other liked to be kissed, or how they should lean or move. They eventually gave up trying to French because they kept biting each other's tongue, but when they finally found a good position, the kiss was magical. Cat had kissed boys before, but never had she felt more emotionally attached to one of them like she had with Jake. And since Cat didn't know how to express this attachment, she just embraced it. She kept holding on to Jake all day the next day and was extra cuddly the night before. Which, since Cat is a very cuddly person as is, there was ALOT of cuddling that night.

"SO, I HOPE I DIDN'T OFFEND ANYONE WITH THE WHOLE QUEER BLUE SKY THING. I WAS JUST JOKING, DON'T GET YOU KNICKERS IN A TWIST. I FEEL AS THOUGH I SPELLED KNICKERS WRONG. BRITISH PEOPLE, DID I?! ANYWAYS, LOVE YOU GUYS AND PLEASE SUSTAIN MY LIFE BY LEAVING A REVIEW!"
