A/N- Thanks so much to those who reviewed! As always, my faithful reader, ToMmYandJuDe-ISlover, has been super supportive and wonderful in her reviews! Oh, and my new favorite author, LovesMeSomeJommy, had better be reading! So, I'm just gonna give ya'll a background on the story so you're not confused. Okay, well G-Major closed at the end of season 3, so Pegan and Jamie opened another one, and everyone has the same jobs they had at G-Major, and Jude doesn't have to work cause her producer was away, but know he's back, so now they're working, too. And Darius didn't go to jail or anything cause I like Darius, and he's needed for the story, like in this chapter! So, I hope everyone knows what's going on! Oh, and I don't own anything Instant Star related, but I do own the new character(s) used (hehehe OverRated6) so, on with the story!

Chapter 2: New Arrivals

The last few weeks had been the best in Jude's life in a while. Even though things between her and Jamie were still going on, she kept up the flirtation with Tommy. But for Tommy, these last few weeks were filled with sexual tension and more flirting than usual. Not that he was complaining. No, not in the least, but he had to admit it was a little weird the way Jude was acting. But he would have to put Jude's behavior aside for the moment as a new revelation came. It came a few weeks after the Epic Cheek Kiss and Jude and Tommy had brought their chemistry to at least an eight on the Jude+Tommy Chemistry Scale. It, or more precisely she, came into P.S. with one goal in mind: to find Darius Mills. She walked in and immediately took the room by storm. All activity ceased in P.S. as she walked through the large double doors. To say she was attractive would be the understatement of the year. She had an obvious beauty about her. Her skin was light, but obvious that she was an exotic beauty of some sort. Her hair was raven black, straight like a new piece of paper, and pulled into a very attractive ponytail with a part on the side. Her skin was blemish free and covered with a decent amount of make-up, but not enough to cake her face, just enough to define her skin tone. She had on bright pink lip gloss that was just right for her. She wore a simple dark colored tee with a denim jacket over it. Her jeans were tight, but in all the right ways. She didn't look like she was suffocating, but she didn't like they were about to fall off of her butt every time she walked. She topped off her look with sleek, black heels. They weren't skyscrapers, but they had just the right amount of length. So, she walked into the halls of P.S. and said one statement, "Where is Darius Mills?" Everyone pointed to the doors at the end of the hall. She replied with a simple, "Thank you," and was on her way. Once she was in D's office, Jude chimed in. "Who was that?"

"Dunno. Friend of D's, I guess. She was pretty fine, whoever she was," Tommy said with a shrug and a smirk. Jude turned around, her mouth agape, and hit Tommy in the arm. Hard. "Ow, Harrison! What was that for?"

"I think you know what it was for," Jude said as she glared at Tommy evilly. Tommy, picking up on Jude's jealousy, started to laugh. "What's so funny, Quincy?"

"You, Harrison! Aw, you think that girl, whoever she is, is more important than you? Never in a million years will a girl ever be more important to me than you. EVER." He said that last little line so only she could hear. She blushed and looked up at him. "Really, Tommy? You mean that?"

"Really, Jude. I do." He smiled down at her and she smiled back up at him. The moment is interrupted by Darius and M.C. (Mystery Chick as Spied had secretly dubbed her) stepped out. Darius had his arm around her and both were smiling widely. "Everyone," Darius said in his naturally loud voice, "I'd like you all to meet a close personal friend of mine. Everyone, Tessa. Tessa, Everyone." People politely said hello to Tessa while Jude made her way to the front of the crowd. Once in the front, Jude quickly introduced herself. "Hi, I'm Jude. Jude Harrison." She extended her arm out to Tessa. "Oh, it's very nice to meet you. I'm Tessa Fennely." She met Jude's arm, and shook it firmly and gently at the same time. Jude decided that for now, this girl could be trusted, but if she turned out to be like Karma it was game over. She started to make her way towards Tommy when she noticed Jamie. She looked over at Tommy and gave him a sorry-but-I-gotta-go-play-girlfriend look. He nodded, understanding her look, as she made her way towards Jamie. 'I need to go be a girlfriend,' Jude thought. 'Even though my heart is with someone else. I need to do this, so I don't get hurt…again.' She leaned against the wall beside Jamie. "So, you finished the "business" you had to take care of last night?" Jude put up little finger quotes when she said business. "No, not yet. But everything will come together soon enough."

"I see. So are you gonna tell me what you're up to?"

"Nope."

"You're not going to tell your own girlfriend what you're doing?" She batted her eyelashes at him, obviously flirting with him. Tommy noticed this immediately and his eyes became narrow slits of jealousy. It took everything he had not to run up to him and punch him square in the face. Jude noticed a pair of eyes burning holes into her. She automatically knew it was Tommy. She decided to tone down her flirtation with Jamie. "Well, Jamie, I guess I'll talk to you later. Bye."

"See ya." She walked away from him, took one final look at Tommy, and walked towards Studio A.

A few hours later:

Sadie was sitting at her receptionist's desk when Tessa walked up to her. "Um, you're Sadie, right?"

"Yeah. Is there something I can help you with?"

"Well, sort of. What's the deal with everyone around here?"

"What do you mean?"

"Well, I mean, what's everyone's story?"

"I still don't know what you mean."

"How is everyone…connected with each other? Like with relationships, friendships, whatever."

"Oh, I see. How much time do you have?"

"The rest of the day."

"Good, you might need it." Sadie put down her pen and pad and shut down her station. "Okay, let's start with Jude. Jude won Instant Star and got Tommy as a producer. There was an obviously instant attraction between them, but they couldn't be together because of the age difference. Here enters Shay."

"You mean Shay as in Darius's nephew, Shay?"

"Yeah. The one and only. So anyways, Shay comes to have Tommy produce a single and it ends up being a mash-up with Jude. Next thing you know, they're dating. Soon after that, he breaks up with Jude on her sixteenth birthday."

"Wow, that's brutal."

"Tell me about it. She was totally heartbroken about the whole thing. Sometime after this, I started to like Tommy and we became we."

"What about Jude?"

"We didn't tell her. I mean I didn't want to hurt her. I knew she still had feelings for him."

"Yeah, that's understandable."

"Well, anyways, after Shay dumped her and she figured out about me and Tommy, she hooked up with her best friend, Jamie."

"You mean the same-"

"Yeah. Him."

"Oh."

"So yeah they started to date and me and Tommy were still together."

"What happened?"

"Jamie broke up with her because he accused her of being fake and she couldn't get his job back."

"Ouch."

"Soon after that she hooked up with her lead guitarist, Spiederman."

"That was quick. And you and Tommy?"

"We're still dating, but not for long. I caught him cheating on me, well sort of."

"How so?"

"Kwest, Tommy's best friend, had brought all these models to G-Major to crash and I saw one come out of Tommy's studio, but it never proved he was cheating."

"How did Jude take it?"

"She took his side. She tried to put us back together and it worked until something changed, and she shoved him in a hot tub."

"No way!"

"Totally way. For a while, they went at it like wild dogs. And then Jude's Epic Seventeenth Birthday came around."

"Oh dear."

"See, Jude wanted a nice, non-G-Major drama birthday with her family, so me, Mom, Spiederman, and Jamie went to the totally barbaric Caveman Days. But there was one problem; there was no Jude to be found."

"Where was she?"

"Trapped in a building with Tommy."

"How'd she manage that?"

"The door knob fell out. So after that night, they weren't angry anymore. A few days after that, her and Spied were no more. So she and Tommy have been dancing around a relationship since. Until they hooked up around her eighteenth birthday. I kissed Tommy,"

"What?! Why?"

"I thought I still had feelings for him, so I kissed him to make sure. It turns out I didn't but Jude saw us and ended things with Tommy."

"That's gotta suck."

"So, they haven't been on the best of terms, or at least they weren't. Jamie and Tommy both proclaimed their love for her and they each gave her a choice. Guess who she chose?"

"Jamie. But why? I mean, I can tell by the way they act that they still have felings for each other."

"Yeah. I dunno why either."

"You know what we should do?"

"What?"

"Get them together."

"And how would you pull that off?"

"Oh, don't worry. I've got a plan."

"Okay. I'm in." Sadie and Tessa shook hands to seal their agreement, a wide smile playing across both girls' faces.
