Thought I'd leave this before I leave for a mini vacation. Going to the beach tonight! Enjoy!

They still aren't mine :( This hasn't been seen by anyone so all mistakes are mine.

Beck's POV

Tori wasn't sure of the little pizza joint when we first pulled in but then again, I wasn't either the first time Jade brought me here. The outside looked very run down but the moment we stepped inside it was like we were transported to another world. Or at least to another country.

Each wall was painted to show a different side of Italy. One showing the coastline with tons of little fishing boats in the water and the sun rising behind them. The next showing a mountain with a village on it. Opposite the water, shows a bustling city, Milan or Florence maybe in the evening. With the moon resting full above one of the shops. The last wall, looked like the Colosseum. The left side of the ceiling was painted a light blue with fluffy clouds and it slowly fades into a darker blue, stars replacing the clouds.

The attention to detail is amazing. On one of the boats a man is waving. On another you can see an old man with a big container of fish beside him. The mountain village shows wet clothes hanging on a line and if you look close enough inside the windows you might spy a romantic dinner or a passionate embrace of couples.

After our salad, while we were waiting for our pizza, I stand pulling Tori up with me. "What? Beck, let me go," Her hands go straight for the jacket she threw over her tank top. I know she's really uncomfortable about being undressed but I'm sure she'll forget about it once she gets into the paintings. I was the same way when Jade first brought me here. I pause when I realize I wore sleep pants and a tank the first time I came here too. Shaking the thought away, I pull Tori away from the boats she'd been looking at and towards the village.

"I love that they put little shutters up over the windows" Tori fingers one.

"They open you know." She looks over at me and I nod. She opens the one she's been admiring to reveal a dog laying at the bottom of a child's bed. Watching a little boy play with blocks.

"Aw" Quickly she moves to another one and pulls it open. A couple tangled together on their dinning room table. She blushes and closes it, quickly. I laugh and point to one hiding a little girl playing dress up in her mothers clothes.

"Salute!" I turn to see Manny setting down our pizza.

"Come on, foods up." I take Tori's hand and we head back to the table.

Tori's POV

"That was amazing."

"You've said that already." Jade joins me on the bed.

"Hey, its almost Halloween!"

"So it is." Beck says as he lays down on my other side.

"Big deal."

"What?" I sit up and look at her. "I would have thought you love Halloween."

"Why would I love a bunch of snot nose kids running around and ringing my doorbell all night?"

I pout at her, "We should do something."

"Normally we spend the night at the beach house and have a scary movie marathon." Beck informs me as he reaches over to move some of Jade's hair.

'Scary movies. Fun.' "We should go trick-or-treating."

"Your joking right?"

"Oh come on. I was five the last time I got to go."

"Why?"

"My parents always dragged me to a party when I was younger and the past few years, I've been passing out candy." I lay back down, this time on my stomach.

"I am not trick-or-treating."

"Aw, come on Jade."

"It could be fun." Beck adds causing Jade to glare at him.

"Move." Jade tugs on the sheet that is caught under me.

"Your going to sleep? Now? It's only nine."

"Wanna be on time tomorrow don't you?"

"Yeah but-"

"Then I need my beauty sleep."

"Miss Vega, nice to see you in class today." I nod to Mr. Gradstein as I head out of class. Spotting Beck waiting I head over to him with a smile.

"So how are we going to convince Jade to trick-or-treating?"

He shakes his head, "I have no idea," After a quick stop at my locker we head to our next class.

"Hey," I smile at Andre as I slide into the desk next to him.

"Andre, what are you doing for Halloween?"

"Trying to keep Grandma calm and pass out candy. You?"

"I don't know, I was thinking about trick-or-treating."

"Man, I wish I could go."

"Really?" I'm surprised he isn't making fun, like Jade.

"Who would pass up free candy?"

"Jade." I answer without thinking.

"You asked Jade?"

"Huh? Oh!" I realize what I let slip. "Beck and I were talking about it. Jade let us know her feeling about snot nosed kids" I look over seeing the teacher writing on the board. Sitting back I get ready to start taking notes.

"What are you doing?" I jump and quickly minimize the screen before looking up at Jade.

"Nothing. Homework."

"Liar. Show me."

"No!"

"Tori."

"Jade." I mimic.

"Cat!" we both turn to see Cat slide in the spot on my other side. "Did you find a costume yet?"

"Homework?" Jade smirks.

"It could be." I pout.

Rolling her eyes at me Jade reaches past me and clicks on the window I just closed. "Pirate, witch."

"Oh look, your already on there."

"Cheerleader, nurse." she continues as she glares at me. "These are all boring." Moving to the top of the screen she clicks around finally comes to the 'sexy halloween costumes'. "Hmm, that one isn't to bad. Just without those stupid horns." We look at a few before she opens up another, "How about that, Tori?"

I look at the can can costume. I like it, other then the top. Although, it might not look so bad with a shirt under it.

"Did you know," Cat lowers her voice and leans closer, "They don't wear underwear? That's why they wear so many layers underneath. Then they kick up and give a little peak." She giggles and leans back.

Jade smirks at me eyebrow raised. "They use to, now they wear underwear." I say as I take the mouse back and keep scrolling. "I like this one." I pull up the Mardi Gras Maiden. The skirt is real short but I can always wear some leggings under and I really like the fact it has a jacket.

"Maybe without the jacket." I keep looking ignoring Jade's comment.

"Oh," Jade grabs the mouse from me and leans in. Making it look like she getting a closer look she whispers in my ear, "Beck would freak." I turn my head slightly to catch her lick her lips, eyes glued to the screen. Turning back I smile. I just figured out how to get Jade to agree to go out.

Taking the mouse back I click off the costume. "Too bad your having a movie night." Moving down a few I click on the Steampunk Lady Costume one. "What do you think?"

"That would look great on you!" Cat gushes. I sneak a peek at Jade and see her glaring. Cat's phone buzzes and we all jump. "Oops, gotta go. I forgot I was meeting up with Robbie. Bye!" She's gone before we can even say anything.

"We should get going too." I click off the site and start gathering my things.

"So did you decide on one?"

"Hmm? Oh, I'm not getting one. I was just looking. Scary movie night. Remember? Unless, you wanted it to just be you and Beck."

"No, I want you there." She grabs my hand and pulls me towards the door, only letting go when the door is open.

Thank you all for sticking with me..you are still here right?
