A/N: Hey guys, here's the next chapter! Thank you so much for the amazing reviews, they always make me so happy! Someone mentioned that Jade was a bit OOC in the previous chapter? I agree with that, I just felt like I needed to portray her in that way for the chapter. She's a bit OOC in this chapter too. Regardless, I'm happy that a Bori fan liked my story! Also, this chapter definitely isn't my best, I'm actually kind of disappointed. Hopefully you'll like it though, tell me what you think in a review! :)
"Beck?"
"Yeah?"
"I'm bored."
"Well, what do you want to do?" Jade climbed on top of Beck's lap. She looked into Beck's eyes and smiled mischievously."
"I think you know." Jade leaned in to kiss Beck softly. Beck returned the kiss, and then pulled away reluctantly. Jade frowned slightly. "What?"
"Babe, as much as I want to, Consuela's gonna be here any second to tidy up." Jade growled softly, making Beck chuckle. He pulled Jade closer to him, and wrapped his arms around her waist, tracing circles on her back. "Let's think of something else to do."
Jade sighed. "Nothing's more fun than sex." Beck smiled.
"I know," he said, tickling her sides lightly, causing her to smile. "But I'm afraid we don't really have a choice." They sat in thought. Beck looked up. "Hey, I've got an idea."
"Jade looked up. "What?"
"Why don't we go on a date?" Jade cocked an eyebrow.
"A date? When was the last time we went on date?"
"That's exactly my point. It would be nice to spend some time together, you know, outside the RV."
"But we've been to all the places worth going in LA. I don't want to go to the same place twice."
"Well, maybe we won't have to." Jade looked at Beck curiously.
"What do you mean?"
"Well, a carnival just opened downtown and-" Jade put her hand over his mouth. Beck licked it. Jade sighed.
"You are so disgusting."
"You wouldn't let me finish explaining about the carnival! What was I supposed to do?"
"Beck, carnivals are cliché. I hate clichés." Beck sighed.
"I know, but it's worth a try! I used to go to carnivals all the time with my family, and what else are we gonna do? Sit here watching Criminal Minds? We do that all the time. Let's do something special," he said, kissing Jade on the nose. Jade sighed. She didn't really want to go to the carnival, but it would make Beck happy. He always did things for her; it was about time she did something for him. She smiled and looked up at Beck. "Okay, let's go." Beck's eyes lit up. "Really?"
"Yeah. Don't make me regret this." She kissed Beck on the lips and got up to get dressed.
Beck pulled up into the makeshift car park. The carnival had been set up in a large field just outside LA. There were tons of people there already, and it had just opened for the night. He got out of the car and went to open Jade's door for her. "Here we are." He wrapped an arm around Jade's shoulders, and she intertwined her fingers with his. Together they walked into the carnival. Beck picked up a map from one of the ticket vendors. "So, where should we go first? There are loads of different stalls to visit, a Strength Test, a Ferris wheel, and oh look," Beck pointed at a particular attraction on the map. "a Tunnel of Love." Beck wiggled his eyebrows, causing Jade to laugh. Maybe the night wouldn't be so bad after all. "So, where should we go first?"
"The Strength Test." Jade smiled and took the map from Beck's hands. "Come on, let's go."
"You sure?" Beck was kinda worried. What if he failed it miserably? He'd seen it happen to guys in the movies. They'd take the hammer and hit the thing, hoping to impress some girl. It hadn't ended well. He didn't want Jade to think he was weak.
"I'm sure." They reached the Strength Test. They had to wait for a minute because a guy was doing exactly what Beck had seen in the movies. His date was watching intently, seeing whether or not he'd be able to hit the bell at the top. Beck prayed silently that he wouldn't.
Ding! "Damn." Beck thought.
"Congratulations! Pick a prize." The guy working the machine showed them an assortment of plush toys. The guy seemed pretty smug and his date was obviously happy. Beck gulped. Jade heard and turned around to face Beck.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing." Jade smiled and wrapped her arms around his waist.
"Don't worry, I'll still love you if you don't hit the bell." Beck smiled down at her and wrapped his arms around her waist.
"I love you." He leant down and kissed her on the lips. She smiled and turned around.
"Looks like you're up." Beck walked up and picked up the hammer.
"The rules are simple. Pick up the hammer and hit the platform as hard as you can. If you hit the bell, you win a prize. You can go when you're ready." The machine worker finished explaining and watched expectantly. Beck exhaled.
"Okay." He walked up and picked the hammer. He glanced up at Jade who was smiling slightly. He prayed he wouldn't make a fool of himself. He closed his eyes and lifted the hammer, bringing it down on the platform as hard as he could.
Ding! Beck opened his eyes. "Congratulations! Pick a prize." He grinned at Jade, who smiled just as widely back at him. They walked over to the stand with all the toys. Beck pointed to a black and purple butterfly. He took it and held it out to Jade. "For you." Jade smiled and took the butterfly from Beck.
"Thank you." She leaned up and kissed Beck gently. She pulled back and took his hand. "Come on, there's another game I want to try with you." Beck happily let him lead her, feeling a bit more confident after his first success. They stopped at a typical carnival game, where darts had to be thrown at glass bottles. Jade turned to face Beck. "You up for this?"
"I'm up for anything." Beck said confidently. He'd obviously let his previous win get to his head. Jade smiled and shook her head. He walked up to the stall worker and picked up 3 darts.
"All you have to do is hit one of the glass bottles. You hit one, you get a prize."
"Sounds easy enough." Beck said, smiling at Jade. Jade smirked.
"We'll see." She said. Beck took aim and through the first dart. It skimmed over a bottle.
"Oh well. Still 2 darts left." Beck didn't seem fazed. He took aim again and threw the second dart. The dart hit one of the bottles, but didn't break it. "Come on!" Beck said, obviously irritated. He took his last dart and took aim. He threw the dart. It missed by a long shot.
"Sorry, no prize for you." The stall worker smirked at Beck. Beck glared back. He walked over to Jade.
"This game's rigged. That second bottle should've broken." He grumbled darkly. Jade tried to hide her smile.
"I think I'm gonna have a go." Jade walked up to the stall. Beck walked behind her.
"Don't worry if you don't manage to hit one, it's a pretty hard game." Beck rested his hand on the small of her back. Jade took one of the darts and took a second to aim. She threw the dart. It hit one of the bottles right in the middle, splitting it in half. Beck stood there, expressionless. Jade clapped happily and went up to receive her prize. She took her time choosing and then walked up to Beck, holding out her prize to him. "For you." She said, with a smile.
Beck chuckled when she saw what she was holding out to him. A plush Rottweiler. "Wow, I didn't even know they made these."
"I know, Pretty appropriate, don't you think? Seeing as how I failed trying to get you a real one." Beck wrapped an arm around her shoulders. They started walking through the carnival. "I'm gonna be nice and not gloat about the fact that I just beat you in a carnival game." She said, smirking slightly. Beck shook his head.
"You didn't beat me. It was just beginner's luck, that's all." Beck replied, nodding as if to convince himself. Jade sighed and shook her head.
"Okay, you believe what you want to believe, Beck. It's not my fault I bruised your ego." She smiled up at him. Beck frowned slightly.
"You didn't beat me Jade."
"Whatever you say." She grinned and carried on walking, until she realised where they'd reached. "Tunnel of Love." She took Beck's hand in hers and walked over to one of the tackily painted carriages. Soon enough their carriage entered the tunnel, which was painted a disgusting pink and decorated with red hearts and stupid, unimaginative quotes. In Jade's opinion anyway. Jade sighed happily and leaned against Beck's shoulder. "I guess this date hasn't been half bad after all."
"Yeah, I guess." Beck looked off to one side. Jade sighed again and climbed onto Beck's lap. She turned his head so he was looking straight at her.
"Are you mad at me for beating you?" Beck sighed and smiled, wrapping his arms around Jade's waist.
"No. When am I ever mad at you? I guess I'm mad at myself." He frowned and looked down.
"It's just a game Beck. Who cares whether you won or not? You won the Strength Test, remember? That's impressive enough." Beck looked up at Jade curiously.
"I thought you said you'd still love me even if I lost the Strength Test?
"I lied. I couldn't date a guy that was weaker than me! That would be bad for my reputation." Jade said, smiling softly. Beck laughed and leaned his head against hers. He took her hands in his and looked deep into her eyes, brown meeting blue.
"I love you Jade."
"I love you too."
