I also want to thank Maybewolf and Vegakeep for their help on this one. Believe me, this was not an easy conversation to straighten out. I hope you all it, and I hope you don't mind the short length.
"Alright, so tell me again." Tori told her friend from the couch. "How is this supposed to work?"
Tori and Beck recently came back to the Vega house after school ended. While they wanted to stay with to the others and hang out, they had to get back and plan this out accordingly.
Beck came out of the kitchen, carrying two cans of Peppy Cola. Passing one to his friend, he took a seat beside her and opened the can. He took his hand and ran it briefly through his hair and took a sip from his beverage.
"What we're going to do is basically what Cory and Shawn did. The only difference though is that I'm going to take your place when you're on your date with Robbie."
Tori looked at him strangely, "Take my place?" He nodded. "You do know I'm a girl, right?"
"That, I do know." Beck answered simply.
"So, how is this going to work?" Tori asked, confused.
Beck was about to answer when a sudden knock was heard. "I think you might want to answer that."
Tori looked at him, confused. She got to her feet and went to the door. Using her hand, she opened the door and was greeted to see a young redheaded woman known only to them only as their friend…
"Cat…"
Cat grinned happily, "Hi Tori!"
"Hi…" Tori greeted her friend. "What are you doing here?"
"I told her to come." Beck said, as he took a sip of his soda and then joined the two of them. After placing the can upon the near desk. "We could use her."
"How?" Tori asked, still not grasping the idea.
"Remember when you did that stunt?" He asked.
And that was when Tori got what Beck was talking about. "You really think dressing like me will work? Beck, you're a guy. You're not exactly of the right gender…" She said to him honestly.
"I know that." Beck said. "And so does Cat and you, but Jade won't…" He told her.
"Do you really think Jade would see you as me?" Tori asked.
"I'm only going to be you when you're not around." Beck reasoned. "I'll keep in the background. Enough to 'blend' in. And when you come back, I'll go to Robbie."
Tori looked at him, dumbfounded. "I dunno Beck. I mean, this whole thing seems a little…"
"Then what are we going to do?" He asked. "The only reason why it failed in 'Boy Meets World' is because Cory couldn't break away from Frankie's dad." He approached her. "Cory didn't have the back-up. Which is me…"
Tori glanced back at him, "It failed because it was a sitcom. A show that used to run on TGIF."
"Ok…" He said slowly.
"Meaning life isn't like that." She told him. Tori glanced at Cat, "I'll admit. You're make-up, your costumes, it's all top notch." She looked at Beck, "This is also Robbie's first date. I don't want him to think that I'm trying to get away from him." She let out a breath. "Do you have any idea on how that would make him feel?"
"Then what do you want to do?" Beck asked. "You said it yourself. You have to be with Jade and Sikowitz tonight. And you have to be with Robbie. You can't do this by yourself."
Tori sighed, "I know…"
"Then what do you suggest we do about it?" Beck questioned.
Tori looked at her friend and then walked slowly to the couch. Dropping down into the cushions, she looked at them. "You promise you'd stay in the background…"
"Of course I will…" He told her certainly. "And we'll make sure we'll match. Cat makes…"
Tori sighed, "I remember…" She looked at Cat, "You also did freak Sikowitz out."
She giggled, "That was fun..."
Tori glanced at her, "So then… I guess we need to get the clothing right..."
"Yay!" Cat grinned happily.
"I can't believe we're getting you to dress as me again." She said to Beck. Looking at him, her eyes widened, "You may be able to look like me. But do you know how to act like me?"
Beck actually chuckled, "I think we better go watch 'Chick Like Me.'"
"Huh?" Tori asked, confused.
"I loved that episode!" Cat beamed happily.
TBC in Chapter 4
Sorry this is a little short. But when you think about the pacing, and what's going to come up, I think this is a good ending point.
Again, sorry this is somewhat short. I just hope you all liked it. And I'll try to keep this fic current more. Sorry for the long wait everybody.
