The next morning, Carlos decides not to check TheSlap like he usually does. Instead, he takes a shower and gets ready for the day. At 6:00, he texts Tori to let her know he's on his way to get her. Twenty minutes later, he's outside her door, waiting for her, texting her to let her know he's there..

I'm outside when you're ready. -Carlos

I'll be there in a minute.. -Tori

A few moments later, she finally leaves her house and walks to Carlos's car, climbing in the passenger seat. As they pull away, Tori decides to start the conversation.

"Nice car."

"Thanks. I assume you want to ask me some questions?"

"Yeah. How did you know Beck was the one who asked me out?"

"Simple. I saw him glance at you a few times during lunch, and his eyes showed that he liked you as more than a friend."

"Really? I never noticed. What happened outside of Nozu last night? Jade came in and was really quiet. It scared me more than when she glares at me."

"Of course you never noticed how he looked at you. Guys always look away from their crush so as not to be obvious. All that happened was we talked. I explained to her why Hayley is such a sore subject, and she told me something private. I won't say anything about what either of us said. You and Beck have a date night set yet?"

"Yes we do." She says with a smile in her voice. "This saturday, he says he's taking me somewhere secret. He told me to dress nicely though. I'm enlisting Cat's help with the make up so I can look nice. You should ask out Jade. Maybe we can double date."

"Whoa whoa whoa. What do you mean ask out Jade? Care to explain yourself cousin?"

"I can tell you like her. You glance at her every once in a while and you look away when she looks at you. You said it yourself, a guy always looks a way when his crush looks at him."

As Tori finishes her sentence, they pull in to the Hollywood Arts parking lot.

"Oh, look. Hollywood Arts. We'll talk later, Tori. Tell no-one anything we talked about here, ok?"

"Okay. I'll see you later."

With that, Carlos and Tori go there separate ways. Tori to her locker, and Carlos to his.

Getting to his locker, he's surprised to see Jace standing in front of his locker. (quick A/NJace's locker is of a cross with light around it, and it is located close to Jade's locker. Carlos' locker has a crescent moon with blue flames engulfing it, and is located by Beck's and Andre's lockers.)

"Long time no see Carlos."

"Catching up with family and what-not. How about you? Same thing i expect?"

"Yep. Haven't seen Beck since he was last in Canada. Anyway, to why I'm here. You need to get over her."

"You're the second to say that today. Well, first. Tori told me ask out..."

"Give it up. I know you Jade. Go for it. Nothing ventured nothing gained, right?"

"Last time I tried that was with Hayley, remember? I will not repeat that." After closing his locker, Carlos looks to Jace. "I appreciate the help, but I'm not ready to move on yet. I'm heading to class. Talk to ya at lunch."

With that, Carlos walks away, not looking at anyone. That is, until he accidentally bumps into a certain dark-haired goth.

"Watch where you're walking!"

"So sorry your highness. Won't happen again."

Before Jade could respond, Carlos just keeps walking, while everyone else in the hallway just stares at them, trying to figure out what's going on, leaving Jade in a stunned silence, before she regained her composure and went to her locker.

Getting to Sikowitz's class a few minutes earlier than the other's, he sits in the back, far left.

A few minutes later, everyone else starts to pile in, not surprisingly, Tori sits beside Beck. A few minutes after the bell rings, Sikowitz walks in and sees Tori and Beck.

"When do you tow start sitting so close to each other? Did I miss something?"

"Yeah, Beck and I are kind of a couple now."

"Oh. OK. Now class. Today, we are going to do some Improv. André, give us a location."

"The park."

"Interesting. Now, Cat, give us a situation."

"Good news."

"Good. Tori, you will captain the team. Choose your actors."

"Okay. Beck, Cat, André, Jade, Jace, and Carlos."

"Now, Action!"

Tori: It's so nice to be out in the park, enjoying the sunshine.

Jade: I think I'm gonna hurl.

Carlos: Trash can's over there. Knock yourself out.

Jace, No killing, please.

Cat: I agree. Let's go play with the ducks.

Jade: NO DUCKS!

Beck: Don't yell at her. You don't have to play with them you know?

André: I'll go play with ya Little Red. We'll just make sure Jade doesn't go near them.

Cat: KK!

Beck: I have good news.

Tori: What is it?

Beck: I got the promotion.

Tori: Congratulations. I know you tried so hard for it.

Jace: Congrats Beck. You deserve it.

Jade: Like I care. Can I go now?

Carlos: I agree with cranky pants. Congrats, none-the-less, but i don't like parks that much.

Jade: Why not?

Carlos: None of your concern.

Beck: You're an odd one, aren't you?

Carlos: Yep. I'm gonna go play with the ducks.

Jace: Leave them there. Kira doesn't need any pets of her own.

Carlos: No promises.

"That's enough. It went a completely different direction than I hoped, but at least there was good news. Sit down." After everyone sat in their seats, Sikowitz speaks back up. "Now, Everyone is going to get paired with a partner of my choosing. You and your partner will write a script that should be no more than 5 minutes. Extra credit for costumes. Now, Jace and Cat. Beck and Tori, "

"Of course."

"Not now, Jade. André and Robbie, and Jade and Carlos. Think of some ideas and let me know by the end of class what your ideas are. Now, does anyone have any questions about their partners?" Before anyone could say anything, Sikowitz stops them. "Good. You all have 45 more minutes. Use the time wisely."

With that, everyone goes to separate parts of the room to talk about the scripts. Carlos walks over to Jade, who hasn't moved, and sits down in the seat that Cat was sitting in a minute ago. Waiting for Jade to speak first, but her not speaking, Carlos finally speaks.

"So, any ideas? You're the screenwriter. Anything you want will be fine by me. I got nothing."

"I thought you were angry with me."

"What gave you that idea?"

"Our talk last night didn't exactly end well."

"I was in a bad mood last night. I'm better now. We doing this or what?"

"Yeah, fine. YOu have anything?"

"Nope. My ideas are songs and poems, never scripts or anything."

"You write songs and poems?"

"Yeah. Anyways, how do we want to do this?"

Forty minutes later, everyone tells Sikowitz their ideas, leaving the coconut loving teacher impressed with the variety of ideas.

"I will see you all tomorrow. Have fun."

With that, the bell rang, signaling the students to go to the next class.
