May 14th
"hey Juka Ari, why did we decide to participate in Kristen's science experiment again" says Beck
"it's not an experiment it's a state wide study to see if students that thrive in a normal school environment can still succeed in an online environment, I wanted to do it because it's fun" says Julia
"right, fun not because you hate school" says Beck
"hey, Tori, Cat, Jade and Erika are all participating as well, it's not my fault I'm smarter than my teacher in science, I have a high IQ like Erika or Tori" says Julia
"intelligence doesn't give you a free pass for everything, I'm not required to keep dating you, you know I have an issue with entitled people" says Beck
"ok, ok I'm sorry I'm just scared that if I didn't put up an act the bullying would start again now that I was more myself because of you" says Julia
"explain" says Beck
"it's embarrassing ok" says Julia
"why are scared, I've been through hell with you to get here" says Beck
"it all started with the nose thing Beck, I had my dads' nose" says Julia
"ok keep going, I need to understand" says Beck
"I've always been easily excitable, I was on the swings in grade five, I saw people hugging, I wanted a hug so I jumped off the swing, it was high in the air, the doctor said I was lucky I'm flexible because I should have broke my neck, I broke my nose, he had to fix it, it hasn't been the same since" says Julia
"that sounds like spectrum behaviour" says Beck
"indeed, Jason diagnosed me the next month but I didn't want it publicly known because I was already being made fun of because of my nose" says Julia
"so your afraid of people making fun of you" says Beck
"I've never really had friends Beck, everyone always thought I was weird, they still made fun of me after you got here beck, they just didn't do it to my face, they made sure I could still hear them" says Julia
"what kind of things did they say" says Beck concerned now
"how did that freak show win Beck over, they say she's smart but she just looks so stupid with that nose…, do you see why I wanted so bad to leave beck, you and tori can only do so much" says Julia
"wow, why didn't you tell the principal any of this" says Beck
"they'd just deny it we both know that unless I recorded it they'd get away with it, besides they could always say that I'm hearing things" says Julia as Natasha walks by
"hey Dana can we talk for minute" says Beck
"yeah sure" says Natasha as Julia runs out of room
"did you have any idea that Julia was still being bullied" says Beck
"no I had no idea" says Natasha
"they don't do it to her face, she just told me they call her a freak show and made fun of her nose, she said that was why she signed us up for the state study that Kristen is helping with" says Beck
"if that's true it's only half of the reason she signed up for the online school study" says Natasha
"what's the other reason" says Beck
"you give it to her straight and you make her feel good about herself and she loves being around you, it stands that she'd do anything to remove the negative feelings from the equation, Kristen said her IQ test just came back, other than Talia at two thirty she's the highest the state has seen in years" says Natasha
"she said she's on the spectrum, what was her score" says Beck
"than her score makes sense, she's rated at one ninety, the study is highly interested in her schooling, they want to make sure she is ok because she finished the test in record time, with high intelligence comes bullying, if the bullying is as bad as she says she could dive into depression, if she joined the study to get away from it, I'll ask Cally because they are friends" says Natasha
5 minutes later
"hey Calcite did you know that Julia was still being bullied, has it always been bad" says Natasha
"yes I knew, yes it's always been bad, ever since fifth grade and that swing incident, they used to push her around until Tori got involved, the group of fifty kids that Carter had once been apart of is the only group that kept getting physical after Tori got involved they were the popular kids, Julia never stood a chance against them" says Cally
"why didn't she report it" says Natasha
"did you with Joe, no you didn't, she was scared of them, she was afraid that if she said anything that the abuse would get worse" says Cally
"the remark about Joe was low even for you" says Natasha
"it's the same situation mentally, she toyed with choking herself, I saw the bruises myself, Beck has no idea how he makes her happy, she hasn't been this happy since she saw those people hugging in public and she wanted a hug and jumped off the swing" says Cally
"he makes her that happy" says Natasha
"you clearly haven't seen her stare at him, she basically freezes" says Cally
"what about the look in her eyes" says Natasha
"you know how you look at Jade right, double it" says Cally
"she has seen him naked" says Natasha
"no she's always looked at him like that, when Carter got her out of the situation and Beck confronted that group she was still within earshot, I saw the look in her eyes it hasn't changed one bit since she first saw him, honestly I'm surprised she can talk to him at all" says Cally
"what was her reaction when she first saw him" says Natasha
"I'd kill to be with him but there is no way a popular boy would ever like me" says Cally as Beck walks up
"she actually said that, she called me a popular boy" says Beck
"yes, she wasn't wrong it didn't take long for you to be popular, she doesn't exactly have a good track record with popular people" says Cally
"she does have a tendency to call Tori mama bear" says Beck
"she got that from me, the way Tori helps us is very motherly, it's endearing and makes tense situations calm" says Cally
"especially after the new pill kicked in her anxiety is basically non-existent, I heard that her students are calling her that now too, she's enjoying it" says Natasha
"thanks for the information guys, I think I'm gonna go talk to her about it later on, I think I'm going to cuddle for a bit" says Beck
"she'll enjoy that" says Jade
45 minutes later with Julia
"I love you beck" says Julia
"you were stressed not even half an hour ago, how much of an effect do I have on you" says Beck
"more than you'll ever understand, the way you hugged me when you walked in was like all the stress melted away" says Julia
"that's a good thing right" says Beck
"very good, it's a rare trait, not even Tori can do it that well" says Julia
"you also don't have feelings for her" says Beck
"now don't go and say that, before I knew she was family I did have a crush on her, her being my cousin doesn't change anything, your empathy explains why she liked you, you were always there for her no matter what Jade said, Tori will never admit it to you but it means everything to her that you did that so she could be here today" says Julia
"again I was just helping someone I didn't want to see hurt" says Beck
"you underestimate the effects your actions have on Tori and I, not only are we both on the spectrum but we are also both bi, people in our neck of the woods don't tend to see kindness like that often, a lot of people think it's a game to get attention" says Julia
"why didn't she tell me this herself" says Beck
"because most people are just passing moments in our life, the kind people are outnumbered by the idiots so we don't normally register that someone was kind to us until its too late" says Julia as Tori knocks
"may I come in please" says Tori
"sure what for" says Beck
"I have so much money, I don't need it all, for everything you've done for me, I wanted to give you a portion of it" says Tori
"how much is a portion, like ten grand" says Beck
"try a million, look I know it's a lot but you've done more than most people would ever do for me, more than Trina has ever tried to do in her life, without you there would be no Purple hearted girl" says Tori
"that's very generous, did you guys plan this or something because we were just talking about this kind of thing" says Beck
"the Cortez family holds a few secrets, mental abilities are but one, the Spanish Circus is another, Julia and Rebecca are like hope, future predictors, Julia knew I was going to do it before I did didn't you" says Tori
"I did, I can't tell the timing until just before it happens though" says Julia
"that explains your well timed contortions tricks, as well as my inability to trip ya up" says Beck
"indeed, however boy you can still surprise me" says Julia
"indeed he can, his connection to you is stronger than my connection to him" says Tori
"that surprises you, also Beck accepts the money" says Julia
"can't I say it for once Juka queen, or is that just your thing" says Beck
"it's most definitely my thing, so we going to the bank now" says Julia
"dang Josi stop please for ten minutes, let's got going" says Tori
At the bank
"so what's the occasion, you getting married or something" says the Teller
"no he's dating my cousin but he kept me going for over a decade, I'm the Jazz Princess, whenever I was depressed he'd pull me out, I figured it was time for me to pay up" says Tori
"a million and a half for a decade of support, he must be one hell of a friend" says the Teller
"not the way you're implying lady, here's my ID and insurance just process the check please" says Tori
"ok I'm sorry it's just you seem like you'd be a good couple, you seem impatient" says the Teller
"I happen to have a lot of patience, it's your implications that are getting on my nerves, he's gone above and beyond the call of a friend to help me" says Tori
"Victoria calm down, you don't need to make a scene" says Beck
"ok, I'm sorry, can you deal with this, I need to breath" says Tori as she walks away
"ok I see what she means, the cheque is so large that you will get it in segments of a hundred grand starting in two days, does she also go by another name or something" says the Teller
"yes her original name was the Purple hearted girl, why" says Beck
"oh my God, my daughter is a huge fan, she calls her the Purple princess, she was at her last concert here but couldn't get any merch or an autograph, they sold out too quickly, she saved up for months to get tickets and a shirt, she's been crying for days because she's upset that she probably won't get another chance, that's why I was pushy, I didn't recognize the name and I couldn't figure it out" says the Teller
"hey Vic can I have a word please" says Beck
"yes what is it, is the cheque done" says Tori
"my daughter is a huge fan, she calls you the Purple princess, I didn't connect the name to the outfit, she was at your last concert that she saved up for months to get tickets to and she wanted a shirt but they sold out as she got to the counter, her name is Ariel she's about your cousins age" says the Teller
"purple wig, lace dress" asks Tori
"yes, she's been crying for days, I couldn't get her to stop" says the Teller
"I've been very popular, I can't seem to keep any stock at all, right now everything is back ordered with the company I partnered with, where do you live, maybe I can surprise her" says Tori
"over by Clear-View, would you really do that for her" says the Teller
"I do it all the time, she must be a long time viewer is she knows me by that name" says Tori
"seven years, the cheque is being processed now, if I get her to sit out front right now could you pick her up" says the Teller
"yeah I'll head over there right now, we can watch a movie and swim in my pool" says Tori
"she loves both of those" says the Teller
"I do contortion, is she a fan of that" says Julia feeling left out
"Juka Ari, wow never thought I'd see you in person yes, she loves your streams, when you guys stream at the same time she hates picking" says the Teller
30 minutes later by Clear-view
"purple princess is that really you" says Ariel
"yes, you surprised or something" says Tori
"yes, Oh my God Juka Ari, please tell me I'm not dreaming" says Ariel
"no we are really here, pool and a movie and maybe our special guest on our streams tonight" says Julia
"for real" says Ariel
"yes darlin, I've had a hard time keeping my merch in stock, I have a few limited edition items that I haven't out up yet if you wanted one" says Tori
"can we play RTA on stream, I love that game" says Ariel
"I bought RTA when it first went into beta, I'm sure you wouldn't mind playing it on both streams would you" says Julia
"… wait really so did I" says Ariel
Back at home during Tori's stream
"ok so Beck I want you to put half o-" says Julia as Beck cuts her off
"not this again Julia, you can't control my money" says Beck
"fine if you don't want to turn your half a million in to ten then go live your own life, get out of my room" says Julia angrily
"fine" says Beck as he leaves
20 minutes later with Beck
"what happened she just broke her door" says Jade
"she wanted to control my money" says Beck
"no she didn't, she had me invest in a small company and my ten grand is now fifty grand, the company is an economic wood chip company that wanted to tear condemned buildings down for wood chips, a ten pound bag is ten dollars, if she wanted you to do something with your money it was probably something like that" says Jade as Natasha walks up
"so how did the investing go" says Natasha
"what investing" says Beck
"so you didn't invest in one of her start ups, she said you were getting money, she only wanted a third of it for investing, she just started a gym and gymnastics company a few weeks ago, it's already got amazing coaches, it takes her stretches to a whole new personal level, wall street already has it pegged as one of the biggest companies of the decade, stocks are already at fifty dollars, she rented a building and everything, it was her dream to have you as co-owner, let's hope she doesn't tear the whole thing up" says Natasha
"she didn't say that" says Beck as Jill walks up
"you didn't let her finish boy, at the rate the stocks are rising a half a million dollars stake in the company would be worth ten by December, you had her so happy earlier, she had a ring, now her room is basically destroyed, her stream page is gone, a search for Juka Ari streams brings up nothing now at all, when I left her room she was getting ready to destroy her knife collection so I took it with me and locked it up" says Jill
"sometimes I forget how touchy she can be, she won't want to see me now" says Beck
"in the last year she's created some of the most successful companies in the world, you're right you need to run, she's QinTar remember, she doesn't need a gun or knife to kill" says Natasha
4 days later
"he hates me, I wanted to marry him and now it's all gone" says Julia
"Hun, you can't run a relationship like a business" says Andrea
"I wasn't trying to, it doesn't matter anymore anyway, I sold off all my businesses, gave everything to charity" says Julia
"even your gym" asks Andrea
"I started it so it could be our business, without him there is no point, I started it and was going to use the money I got from it to pay for a ring and the wedding" bawls Julia
"first thing, he doesn't hate you, Dana made the mistake of reminding him you are part of the QinTar and don't need a weapon to kill, secondly I'm pretty sure he was buying a ring yesterday" says Andrea
"I don't deserve him, I never did, I never understood how someone like him could ever love me, I'm trash who can make money in the blink of an eye" says Julia as Beck shows up
"Beck not right now, give her some space" says Andrea
"I wasn't planning on saying anything, but I bought the business Juka, you tried to sell it and I bought it, it is I who doesn't deserve you, I didn't let you explain and I was wrong, I went to see Trina for advice and I was met with a sword to my throat, she yelled at me for two hours straight in German, she was more than ready for me when I arrived" says Beck
"she defended me…" says Julia confused
"yes at great length, she called me a impulsive moron in German, she was ready to break my arm ten minutes in, she had already bought a gym membership while it was in your control and made me promise that it would carry over" says Beck
"do you really still love me" says Julia
"I never stopped, I can be over-confident and cocky sometimes, I need to earn your trust back" says Beck
"ask me now" says Julia
"no I need to earn your trust back first" says Beck as Trina shows up
"boy if she's asking you to ask her for her hand do it unless you want to see the tip of my newly sharpened sword again" says Trina
"and her perception skills are back again, you knew Trina was coming didn't you Babe" says Beck
"I could hear her sword as she walked up the steps, so are you going to make Trina force you or what" says Julia
"was this some huge test or something" says Beck dropping the ring box
"only partially, I was really upset at first and before you showed up here, when Trina got word of your mistake she set you up not me, she wanted to see who you'd run to, choices were Andrea, Michelle or Jason, Michelle and Jason were ready to destroy you" says Julia
"I just love to intimate boy, you know that, you may be impulsive but you aren't a moron, Tor wouldn't tolerate you if you were" says Trina
"will you marry me Julia Oslo Cortez" says Beck
"that's not my middle name Beckaroni" says Julia
"forgive me goddess Juka Ari it was meant as a nod to Olivia" says Beck as he kneels with a ring in hand
"that's not a diamond is it" asks Trina
"no it's a fake diamond, where is the real ring Beckaroni" says Julia
"check your left pocket" says Beck
"whoa but how" says Julia as Erika walks up
"you forget who's house you're in girl, I owed him a favour, I forgot Andrea and I took a cab to the airport for Norway last week and neither of us had enough to pay for a cab" says Erika
"so you helped with his proposal" says Julia
"I'll only confirm if you say yes" says Erika
"fine yes Beck, you're such a suck up babe" says Julia
"yes Erika helped me, she's a sucker for love stories, besides this was the last relationship that Hope 'shipped' before she died" says Beck
"when cat heard what happened she cried, she was doing dishes and she heard a cackle and a nasty scratch appeared on her shoulder, if hope wants to punish someone it should be me not cat" says Andrea
"why, it was my mistake" says Beck
"because I didn't stop the escalation sooner, Julia was speeding up the relationship, issues were bound to happen when a relationship speeds up that quickly" says Andrea
"since when is it your fault for my actions Andrae, I was too comfortable, I realized I needed a reset button" says Julia
"you are taking the relationship too fast, going too far too soon, I don't understand how Tori can just let you do whatever you want" says Andrea
"so what it's my love life, be thankful we were being safe in bed, maybe I should make the risky choice just to spite you for thinking you can control my love life" says Julia getting angry
"I'd back away if I were you Andi" says Trina
"why she won't hurt me" says Andrea
"says who, you don't see Tori butting in your love life, you are going anything but slow darling, someone will get hurt mark my words, Trina give me your sword Now" says Julia really angry now
"as if I'd deny you when your angry" says Trina handing Julia her sword
"Back down there baby girl, I've stayed out of your rivalry with Andrea till now, don't make me use my magic darling" says Erika
"you're a peaceful pixie not an angry one, you wouldn't dare" says Julia as Tori arrives
"back down Julia Josi Cortez before I make you" says Erika
"I dare you" says Julia
"what an aggressive little kitty, stand down Julia Josi Lola Cortez, yes Andrea went too far but that doesn't mean you can threaten her with a sword that doesn't even belong to you" says Tori firmly
"but she…." Says Julia
"hope never liked Andrea, she's stoking the fire, hand the sword back to Trina right now" says Tori
"yes mama bear" says Julia quietly
"you sure know how to stop a storm don't you Tori" says Beck
"no but I know when a spirit is meddling, Julia is never this aggressive, Andrea apologize right now, you had no right trying to control her love life" says Tori
"do you not agree she's moving the relationship too fast" says Andrea
"you're one to talk there Andraea, she talked to me before they went forward past making out into the next phase, I set guidelines and rules, you know this, yes she wants kids but not at the risk of disobeying my guidelines, she is not yet twenty years old" says Tori
"do you have an issue with my actions with Erika or something" says Andrea
"plenty, but you are your own person, Albert tasked me with her well-being not yours, the deal was she inform me at every stage or I have to send her to live with aunt Alice back in Spain, you missed the big one hun" says Tori
"does that mean I have to go live with Aunt Alice now…., I didn't mean to I swear" says Julia crying now
"that's a little harsh isn't it" says Erika
"that was the deal she signed with Albert, it's a legal agreement Erika, Albert is in Washington getting things set up so he can get his own house here in San-Francisco, Julia knew the rules, one being I had to know where she was at all times if she left the house, she forgot her phone" says Tori
"would I at least get to move with her to Spain" says Beck
"no, unfortunately not, she broke two rules that her father set up and she agreed to and signed a paper saying so" says Tori
"I hate dad for writing that, I'm running away, have fun finding me" says Julia as she runs out the door
"Tori cousin, what did you just do" says Andrea
"I had to, I signed a paper saying I'd follow every rule as well" says Tori
"Albert isn't going to be happy" says Andrea
"and you think Julia is, she finds out in her late teens who her real father is and he sets up a bunch of stupid rules that she has to follow" says Trina
"that's called being a father" says Beck
"right so she's just supposed to live with a father who does stuff like that and isn't there to help her understand anything, no Albert messed up, he didn't set the same rules for Rebecca, he did not set any rules for Rebecca actually, only Julia" says Tori
"well we're right back where we started, she has some amazing hiding places in the city, it took me three days as it is to find her the first time" says Andrea
"not good" says Trina
2 days later
"where's Julia, I got something from Washington for her" says Albert
"she broke two rules, the first time it was a genuine mistake on Beck's part, the second involved those stupid rules you set up for her, she ran away, she verbally said she hates you for making those rules, Beck had just proposed to her and everything, she's fast and hard to catch" says Tori
"I'm an old fool, I thought she liked structure, what rule do you think really set her off" says Albert
"probably the send her to Spain to live with Alice, not only does she hate planes but she barely knows Aunt Alice, she only signed them so she could make love to Beck you have to know that, he gave her full control over what they did and they were always safe" says Tori
"he gave her complete control over everything they did in bed, wow he really loves her doesn't he" says Albert as Beck walks in
"yes and I just saw her running down Market towards Montgomery, she hasn't eaten much by the looks of it, I know she knew I was there but she looked at me for two seconds then looked away like she was mad at me or something" says Beck
"she's going to starve herself or get someone to choke her" says Cat frustrated
"how do you know" says Albert
"she's angry, at you specifically Albert and Hope is helping her hide from us" says Cat
"that's not good" says Ally as she walks in
"why" says Albert
"because Hope was beyond frustrated at the world for their complete idiocy, ignorance and refusal to help her" says Ally as Michelle walks in
"I got her, she's asleep, she must have hit something at some point, she may attack you Albert, be careful, she will wake up in a few hours" says Michelle
"how did you find her" says Albert confused
"oh naïve old man Albert, you should be lucky she's alive, she was headed for the Freeway, she was getting tired and you should know better than to question Jason's precautions with her, both her necklace and earrings have trackers in them" says Michelle
"Jason was always thorough, thank you dear" says Albert
3 hours later as Julia wakes up
"you can be a real jerk sometimes Mishy" says Julia
"yeah but I'd rather you be mad at me than dead" says Michelle
"fine, I don't want to see dad" says Julia
"too late" says Albert
"I'm angry at you, you make a set of rules for me but not Becca, that's not fair" says Julia
"I know and I'm sorry, Becca isn't a contortionist, I was afraid that if you got married that I'd never see you again and it'd be your mother all over again" says Albert
"it was still uncalled for, that's what conversations are for, I love Beck, I didn't want you to take him away from me" says Julia
"and running into a freeway full of traffic isn't taking you from Beck" says Michelle
"he'd have understood Mishy, maybe not right away but he'd have understood" says Julia
"suicide is never the answer" says Tori
"I wanted some sort of control over my own life, even if it meant ending it, Beck understood that, why do you think he gave me control over what we did in bed, it was so I didn't resent him for doing something I didn't like or want to do with my body, some structure is good ya but not how you did it dad" says Julia
"so I went too far, I started controlling what you could and couldn't do with your own body, is that it" says Albert
"yes dad, way too far, I liked talking to Tori about where Beck and I were going, she made sure we were being safe, I liked that, it was her motherly instinct, she set guidelines but no solid borders, I followed the guidelines she set because I understood why she set them, your rules are irrational and controlling, there comes a point where you have to believe I can make good choices on my own, Jason was a good dad to me, protective but not controlling" says Julia
"he is the wisest of the three remaining brothers when it comes to raising kids, no offense Andrea" says Albert
"no offence taken, dad took quite the laid back approach to parenting, after his sister died when we were little, I think he was afraid to say the wrong thing" says Andrea
"and that approach led to you and Lexie, your sister is quite the leader" says Albert
"yes but Tori needs to change the code we follow when it comes to relationships" says Andrea
"why" says Albert
"dad get with it, her girlfriend is Swiss, she's afraid she's going to lose her because they barely see each other" says Julia
"that change is coming trust me, uncle Harry is blocking the vote on the basis of tradition" says Tori
"Harry is a stickler for traditional law, his daughter however isn't, apparently she was recently appointed internal dispute handler, as Queen with a bride to be you could force it through" says Albert
"could you contact Jackie then please uncle" says Tori
"I will, any message with it" says Albert
"how's the threat of a civil war to remove him from a position of power in the family, he was also against the free trade agreement and just about every other idea Lexie had that was better than mine" says Tori
"is he that bad" says Beck
"yes, Lexie is the sitting princess currently in the Royal family thanks to Tori, opposing her or Tori is dangerous it could allow for foreign powers to get involved, specifically Cassandra" says Albert
"trust me I've thought about it, but it's immoral and I can't ask Cat to have Cassie do something immoral just so I can get something passed to help my cousin with love" says Tori
"I will let her know right away" says Albert
"daddy I'm sorry for my actions, can you forgive me" says Julia
"you have nothing to be sorry for bud, I drove you to that, your actions were a result of my inability to help you" says Albert
"so you're not mad at me" says Julia
"me mad at you no, I made the mistake that led you there, I'm the adult, I should have known better" says Albert
"ok everyone out, I need to talk to her" says Beck
"yes boy, you should be honoured to have her say yes" says Albert as everyone leaves
"I am trust me, I was certain she'd say no" says Beck
"ok Beck what's up" says Julia
"did you really mean it when you said yes, I need to know" says Beck
"Beck stop second guessing my words, I say what I mean, I was mad at dad not you" says Julia
"so when you said yes, what was going through your head" says Beck
"you really wanna know, I was thinking he's finally mine, I'm finally popular, I finally found someone who understands me better than anyone else, that's what I was thinking" says Julia
"I barely understand you but I'm willing to try if it makes you happy" says Beck
"that's why I love you, not many people are willing to try, what do you know about me, list five things boy" says Julia
"you dance, you're a contortionist, pretty, funny, oh and you're bi" says Beck
"I didn't start out thinking I liked guys at all, girls fascinated me to no end, I thought boys were gross and evil" says Julia
"so why, or who changed your mind about guys" says Beck
"Carter started the process but you changed every notion I had of guys, you're not evil, gross, mean or rude" says Julia
"I honestly don't know how guys haven't just fallen all over you" says Beck
"they think I'm creepy, they try and talk to me because they know I have no friends besides Cally, I get one sentence out and they immediately walk away, they never give me a chance to adapt so I only talk about one subject, if they don't make an effort to the conversation why should I, I absolutely love puppies, I see a puppy and I immediately grin, they are sooooo soft, oh my god I want one so bad, your hair looks soo soft….., why did you just let me go on for five minutes" says Julia as she looks at her clock
"I wanted to see how long you could ramble on for, I like to see how your mind works, literally everything you just said was linked, it flowed so nicely" says Beck
"that was a coincidence I assure you" says Julia
"no it wasn't, it's happened before, three times to be exact, to a normal person they aren't linked but to someone who had to deal with Jade who tried to separate every single thought to remove possible links I see it, you like to talk about puppies don't you" says Beck
"yes I do, you are good" says Julia
"the links are why I love you on top of all the other reasons, your mind works differently than most people's, I love it, I'd have you no other way" says Beck
"so I'm not a freak show to you" says Julia
"no you are a beautiful young woman, a smart beautiful woman, it's a rare combo in a world of ego driven people who only care about looks" says Beck
"what about Tori, Dana and Cat" says Julia
"Tori does have a slight ego but she doesn't let it completely control her, Dana is the polar opposite of Tori she has no ego and is really easily hurt, Cat is in a totally different category because of her canola allergy, her demand for food to be cooked in olive oil can seem like ego but it isn't" says Beck
"I can sing you know, Tor says I'm pretty good" says Julia
"does she say who you sound like" says Beck
"yeah, Miley, she compares me to Miley" says Julia
"that's a feat and a half" says Beck
