A/N: Two things. First, I'm totally starting to go out of order, so I apologize. I'll try my best to go and finish the episodes I skip. Second, I know says that Beck helped his friend Saturday, but he wasn't there the day the gang was at school, so I'm changing it to Friday and Saturday.

Tori Gets Stuck

"Oh, wait up." Beck pulled his vibrating phone out. "I gotta answer this." Alex nodded and went back inside to grab another box. "Hey."

"Are you done yet?"

"Uh," Beck looked around at all the boxes, "not yet."

"Be done." Jade demanded.

"Did something happen?" Beck ignored his friend as he loaded a box into his truck.

"No."

"Jade," Beck said as sternly as he could.

"Beck," Jade mocked.

"What happened?" Beck walked away from his truck. He didn't want Alex to overhear if Jade was actually upset.

"Whatever. Bye."

"Wait, wait!" Beck sighed and ran a hand through his hair.

"What?" Jade snarled.

"Where are you?" He understood her frustration somewhat. He hadn't really seen her in a couple days since he'd been helping his buddy move.

"Why?" Jade asked suspiciously as she looked around her surroundings.

"Come on."

"The RV." Beck paused, surprised. Was she waiting for him?

"Oh, well, do you want to come help Alex move?"

"Not particularly."

"Do you want to come stand around playing with your scissors while you watch me help Alex move?" Beck half-expected a negative, but Jade paused.

"Fine." Jade got off of Beck's unmade bed and headed for the door. "I'll be there in ten."

Beck started to walk back over to his truck. He hoped Alex wouldn't mind Jade hanging around. "Ok. I love you."

"Whatever." Then she hung up. Beck shook his head and met Alex's inquisitive eyes.

"That your girl?" He asked with a grin. He slid a box further into the truck.

"Yeah. She's gonna come over." Alex and Jade had met only a few times, but thankfully Alex found her amusing most of the time rather than upsetting.

"She's gonna help me move?" It was hard to picture the snarky girl doing him any favors.

"Not exactly." Beck laughed. "She's just coming to hang out." He grabbed an unmarked box and made his way to his truck.

"Ah, she's just gonna be here to distract you, huh?" Alex nudged Beck as they crossed paths.

"Something like that."

"Like that? Man, she's smokin'." Alex was sure the girl could get any guy with her looks.

"I know," Beck said with a small smile playing at the edge of his lips.

Jade held her hand down on the horn as she pulled into the driveway. As she parked she could see Beck jogging over to her. He leaned through her open window and kissed her cheek before opening her door. "Hey, babe."

"Yeah, hey." Jade didn't bother to wait for Beck as she started to walk towards the house. Beck grabbed her arm, pulling her to a stop before she could get inside though.

"What's going on?" He knew she had been upset about being Tori's understudy, but he thought she had come to terms with it somewhat. She had seemed happy that she had gotten to mess with Tori, even if she hadn't gotten the part.

Before she could answer Alex came out. "Hey, gothie!" Beck sighed annoyed. Now was not the time to be irritating Jade.

"Jock." Jade replied in a clipped tone. She turned away from Alex and back to her boyfriend. "So? I'm here. Go do manly things." Beck sighed unsure, but kissed her forehead and took off to grab another box. She would open up when she was ready.

Jade watched the boys for twenty minutes before Beck told her that they had to run the boxes down to the valley. She followed Beck to his truck. She got stuck sitting in the middle between Beck and Alex. Alex didn't do much to piss her off, but she still rebuffed all attempts at conversation with him. She nestled into Beck's side as much as she could without him crashing the car and Alex kept to himself most of the way. They unloaded within ten minutes and then it was back again for another load.

As Beck got out of the car he clasped his silky, pale girlfriend's hand in his and used it to slow their pace. When Alex was far enough away he tugged gently and Jade turned around. He brought his other hand up to her hair and twirled a colored streak. "You know I really love your hair." Jade didn't respond as she stared at him as if he had grown another head. "Wanna know what else I love?" His hand moved from her soft hair to her neck and he traced the black strand of string down until he was playing with the gold ring. "I love that you're wearing our necklace." Jade looked down, letting her hair fall around her face as a veil. She'd worn it the last two days without much thought, but she never expected someone to notice. Beck laughed and kissed her crown. "I missed you too," he whispered before stalking off.

Jade took a deep breath and made her way over to the boys. She watched silently for awhile only occasionally looking away to play with her scissors. Her mood gradually improved after Beck gave her some wrecked boxes to cut up. She even convinced Beck to stop for coffee. He ordered her usual, black with two sugars, on the last trip over to the valley.

Her departing words to Alex were "You have a lot of stuff. Get rid of it."
