L is for Lost

"Whoa, those boats are both for us?"

Andre, Jade, Beck, Tori, Cat, Robbie, and Trina were out in the LA sunshine, at a harbor. Andre's uncle had offered to lend Andre and his friends a few boats so they could go sailing.

"Yep," said Andre. "I figured we could split up…Beck knows how to sail and so do I. Who wants to go with who?"

"I call Andre," Jade said, purposely trying to make Beck a little jealous. She walked over to him and slipped her porcelain arms around one of his, and he looked at her a little awkwardly.

"I want to go with Andre too," Cat said, jumping up and down.

"I think I'll go with Beck," Tori said, twisting a lock of hair as though this one simple decision would affect her life.

"Yeah, I'll go with Beck too," Trina said, batting her eyelashes.

"Yeah, Beck's cool," Robbie said, also joining "Team Beck".

"Lucky Beck," Beck whispered under his breath. "Okay, Andre, we'll follow you guys out…"

"Right," Andre said, walking to the edge of the dock. "Come over here, girls, and get on the boat."

On one side of the dock, Andre helped Jade and Cat onto the boat by holding their waists as they climbed onto the ladder of the sailboat. On the other, Trina nearly fell in and pulled Robbie and Tori with her. Tori steadied herself and friends at last minute, and do damage was done.

"Okay, see you guys in a few," Andre called, setting his sail up to catch the wind. Jade sat on the top of the boat near the sail and stared out to sea while Andre tried to teach Cat to sail.

They coasted out onto the open sea, salt on their lips and wind in their hair. Beck's boat made it out eventually. They caught a few strangled cries, and Andre was about to turn the boat around when Beck caught up to them.

"All I want is everything, too much is not enough!"

It became clear that the strangled cries belonged to Trina, and she was singing, not dying.

"Oh my god," muttered Jade, smirking. "Lucky them…They get to listen to that."

The boat coasted closer, Trina's voice becoming louder.

"Okay, want to anchor now?" Beck called desperately.

"Sure," Andre called back over the wind and "As long as it feels right, at least we'll know that we're alive".

"Trina, please stop," Beck said, staring into the ocean as if seriously considering drowning himself.

"Anything for you, Becky Poo," Trina giggled, and the dark haired boy shuddered.

"Trina, you're embarrassing me," Tori hit her sister in the shoulder.

"Oh, don't hit me!"

Trina punched Tori back.

"Okay, it's not time for a Vega family argument," Jade called out. "Can we stop?"

"Yeah, don't fight," Cat called over to their boat. "Andre, can we go swimming?"

"Yeah, okay," Andre agreed.

He pulled of his shirt, and Cat took off her cover-up. They jumped into the ocean. Jade did the same, and was quickly followed by Beck once Trina started a second performance.

Soon they were all swimming but Robbie, because he was scared.

Well, that was why according to Rex. And Jade.

"Come swim Rob," Cat called up to Robbie.

"No thanks," Robbie called.

"What's wrong Princess?" Jade yelled. "Don't want to take off your shirt?"

"N-No, that's not it…Where did you ever get such an id-Rex, have you been tweeting again?"

"A little," the puppet spoke.

"It's getting a little cold," Cat said, from where she was sitting on Beck's shirtless back as he steered her around the water.

"Yeah, maybe we better head back soon," Andre said.

"Kay," Tori floated on her back. "Do you hear that Trina? We're leaving."

Trina was hovering around Beck as though waiting for her turn to get on his back, but poor Beck was clinging to Cat for dear life.

"Great idea," Beck said. "And I have another one. How about on the way back we switch Cat for Trina? Wouldn't that be a crazy way to-"

"Absolutely not," Andre and Jade said simultaneously, and Jade pulled the little redhead from Beck.

"I feel loved," Cat chirped from Jade's arms as Jade tugged her to the boat. They all crowded up the ladder as the air turned even cooler against their wet skin. Jade tugged one of Andre's oversized t shirts on over her bikini, and shivered.

Cat got back into her cover-up, and was combing out her hair as Andre started to sling up the anchor.

On the other boat, Beck set the sail back into place, and then self consciously put his shirt back on since Trina was staring at him. Tori was focused on drinking from a bottle of lemonade. Robbie and Rex were in a heated debate about Northridge Girls. Trina was getting ready for song number three.

As the teenagers prepared for their voyage back inland, fog started to roll in.

"Um, Beck? Why's it so foggy all of a sudden?"

"I'm not sure," Beck called. "Andre?"

"I dunno," Andre shrugged. "I think we should get going though, before it gets worse…"

"Right," Beck called back.

"Okay," Andre set the sail, and Jade padded up the deck to where he was standing.

"Guys, do you know where we're going?" Tori called fretfully.

"Sure, it's that way," Beck and Jade both answered, but pointed in opposite directions.

"I think Jade's right," Cat said.

"No, Beck's always right," Trina commented. "It's that way…"

"I agree," Robbie put in, even though it wasn't necessary.

"No guys, we actually came up over there," Andre said. "Jade's right on this one."

"No she's not," Beck glared at his ex-girlfriend.

"Yes she is," Jade replied. "But you know what? How about you four go that way and we'll go this way and see who's right?"

"Sounds like a plan," Beck said, his eyes narrowed.

"No wait," Tori said. "What if they're right, Beck?"

"They're not," he answered shortly. He took the boat in the left direction, and Andre shrugged his shoulders. He sailed the boat in their direction.

The fog became denser and denser as they sailed.

"This way's right," Andre said, but now there was a hint of uncertainty in his voice. "Don't get worried…"

They sailed for another solid fifteen minutes, until the fog was so thick they could barely se three feet in front of them in any direction.

"Are we lost?" Cat asked, unsurely.

"No baby," Andre replied, but he sounded nervous also.

"We're not," Jade said. "We should be at the dock in a couple minutes…"

And she was right. Andre nearly crashed into the dock, but they made it. They anchored the boat down, and then all ran to the Marina parking lot. They crowded into Andre's car, and he blasted the heat.

When they were nearly dry, Jade spoke.

"So what do you think happened to the others?"

And then Andre's cell phone rang.

"It's Beck…I'll put it on speaker."

Andre hit answer, and the sound of a dying animal filled the air.

"Beck! Man, are you alright?"

"Yes, Trina's on her fourteenth song," Beck moaned. "I know where we are, though. We went the wrong way, and the fog's too dense to see through. I don't think I can make it back until tomorrow."'

Jade cackled in laughter, Trina's singing still clearly audible.

"Enjoy your night," she called to Beck.

"I wanna be stranded on this island for you! I wanna be stranded on this island for two! And I hope it's somewhere far where only we are, stranded on your heart! I love you Beck!" Trina screamed right before the line went dead.

Jade laughed out loud.

It was nice to be right.

Random Quote Of The Day: Beck: I guess we're twins…

Andre: That momma's got some explaining to do.

Note: That was so fun to write! Oh, Hunger Games. Who saw it? I loved it, but think they could've done a better job with the whole Rue thing and then the dogs at the end. But yeah, it was good. Okay, the song Trina was singing at the end was a Greyson Chance one. I thought it fit perfectly. Oh! And I named my turtle Boo! I don't think she deserves to be Rue, since she's just a turtle, but yeah. Chances are you don't care. So anyway, review buddies? Ha, I'm from Yerba! 143, Buddies!

Sshaw101: That's pretty cool! And I tried to make you Jell-O, but i…uh…kind of got hungry. Yeah, sorry about that…

ThePhantomFox: lol. Congrats on your "win."

Anonymous: Haha, I love it! My new favorite joke!

VictoriousForever10: Yes, I'd love one!
