Awww... Thank you guys so much for all sweet reviews! I love them 3 Sorry I wasn't able to update lately, I had to help with my older sister's: prom, graduation, graduation party and act as hostess all weekend to all my family as they came to see my sister. So today is my first free day and I rushed through this chapter so sorry if its not great. Any way I just wanted to run some ideas past everybody so please review and tell what you think:

1.) Should I make Andre and Tori get together? That was the original plan but then I started writing and Tori ended up fawning over Beck. So should I make a total boyfriend hunter bitch or have her fall for Andre?

2.) I noticed a significant lacking in the Beck and Jade areas. What up with that! They're the best couple on the show! I went the story and there are no K stories of them; only 5 K+ stories (ones in Portuguese); only 11 T stories (including this one); and no M stories! Jade and Beck shippers who are writers ( and even those who aren't) we've gotta fix this! Come its now summer, LETS GET WRITING! ;]

Please review review review!

CHAPTER 3

THIRD PERSON POINT OF VIEW

(Takes place just before Jade opens the door)

With Beck leading the way to Jade's house, the group of friends were trying run against the strong howling wind as the streets were very slowly beginning to look like a shallow stream as a couple of centimeters worth of rain water began to build up. The only thought on their minds was getting out of the cold rain.

Suddenly Beck turned around to look at friends "THIS IS JADE'S HOUSE RIGHT HERE!" he screamed over all the noise the wind was making pointing toward said house "C'MON". With an arm movement motioning for his friends to follow him, Beck started up the path that led to his girlfriend's home with his friends close behind.

Once they arrived on Jade's front porch, Cat hurriedly pushed the door bell numerous times while jumping up and down in an attempt to stay warm. After what seemed like an eternity of no answer, Beck noticed some movement coming from behind the curtains of the window right next to that front door just as Andre let out a frustrated sigh "Aw man what if she's not home! What are we going to do then?"

Beck had a pretty good hunch of who was behind the curtains and ignoring Andre's comment and shouted over the wind and through the door "Jade it's me and the guys! OPEN UP!" That did the trick, cause no less then five seconds the front door was flung open and in the door way stood a very shocked Jade.

Jade, who was very blatantly confused as to why her friends were on her porch, didn't even have time to question said friends before they were pushing her aside to get into her house. After closing and locking her front door (including reset the security alarm), Jade turned quickly and inspected each of her peers with blue eyes starting to show more and more concern at what she saw in front of her. Cat, Robbie, Andre, Beck, Tori and even Rex all stood in her foyer rubbing their arms and jumping up and down just trying to get warm, with their hair either flat against their head and in their faces or the complete opposite as some of the boy's hair was soaked yet still able to go in all different directions and all of their clothes were tight against their bodies in wrinkled heaps.

While taking in all this Jade moved over to were Beck stood and tightly gripped his arm in a mix of disbelief and concern, yet all she could say was " What were you people doing out in this weather! Don't you know those winds are going 20 miles per hour? Any faster and this storm could be classified as a weak hurricane! And more importantly...WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING IN MY HOUSE!" By that point Jade had started to yell and Beck had wrapped is arm around her to try and calm her down.

Andre was the first one to speak up "We started to walk home from the PinkBerry when the storm got really bad, luckily about two blocks away from here Beck noticed that your house was close, so here we are." Andre had started his explanation strong but it gradually became sheepish as Jade's ice blue eyes stared him down.

"I told you the weather was supposed to get worse, and why would you bring them to my house" Jade said in a know it all voice right before it turned in to a growl as she glared at her boyfriend, then suddenly she let off shiver similar to her friend's "Babe, you know I love you, but your making me cold." she exclaimed as she freed her bare shoulders from Beck's very cold and very wet embrace.

That got her friends attention. All at once, Jade had six pairs of amazed eyes staring at her up and down. No one could believe that the mean spirited, dark clothed Jade that they went to school wit was now wearing a short white night gown that had colorful piece signs on it. PEACE SIGNS! Nor could they believe that she was not wearing dark make up, her face piercings or that her hair was in natural curls.

Robbie's jaw dropped at the sight of the barely dressed hot girl in front of him. Cat let out an excited squeal that Jade was wearing bright colors and made a mental note to ask the usually dark girl to go shopping with her. Andre smirked and raised a questioning eyebrow in Jade's direction. Rex's whole body became more straight and alert. Tori huffed in jealousy when she realized Jade had way more curves then her. Beck's bulging eyes slowly roamed Jade's body from the top of her curly hair to the bottom of her long sculpted legs, resting on an area just below the shoulders for a few seconds before snapping up to look Jade in the eye to avoid any cramping in his lower regions.

Jade, who had taken in each reaction, subconsciously crossed her arms in front of her chest while looking down to avoid eye contact and to hide the slight blush that now colored her cheeks. Not even a second after Jade did this Rex whined desperately "Aw come on, don't go covering up the twins! They're the only up side to this whole night! And might I add that they're both very big up sides" Rex ended smoothly. Unfortunately Jade didn't fall for Rex's charm and as she quickly raised her head, her blue eyes, now icy with anger and a hint of embarrassment, shot both Rex and Robbie a death glare before she released a sound resembling a growl and stocked into her kitchen. Rex tried to defend himself "What? It was a compliment".

Beck gave Robbie a look that clearly said 'What the hell' and Robbie retaliated by shaking his head and pointing an accusing finger at Rex while Cat said in a scandalized voice "Rex!" Shaking his head in frustration Beck started to walk quickly toward the kitchen to make sure Jade was alright, only to be followed by his friends who were not keen on being left in Jade's foyer when they still didn't know if they were welcome in her house.

Once in the extravagant kitchen the group was met with the sight of Jade sitting on her dark marble counter biting her bottom lip and staring intently at the small flat screen tv that came out of the wall. Fox 5 news was on and the weather man was explaining in a very stern voice "With rising winds of 23mph and streets starting to flood we are experiencing a surprise miniature hurricane and nobody should go out in this freak storm by any means. Stay put where ever you may be and prepare for any chance of flooding and or electricity going out." With that the camera went back to the anchor man informing the watchers that they'd be on all night to keep the viewers updated on the storm. Right after hearing this Jade sighed and turned off the tv and looked at her peers (who by that time had moved to stand next to where Jade sat on the counter) with an unreadable look.

As if reading Jade's mind Tori asked in a shocked and scared voice "Uh, not to be negative or anything like that but... HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO GET HOME!" As Andre wrapped his moist arm around Tori's damp shoulder's Jade jumped off the counter (being very careful to hold her dress down so she wouldn't flash anyone) and as she made her way to one of house's many land line phones, Tori over heard muttering about 'parents', 'skipping the opera' and 'probably at the hotel'. "Hey I thought your parents were going out to dinner, but you just said they're going to the opera" Tori exclaimed in a confused and almost accusing voice.

Jade, who had just asked the receptionist at the Weston to connect with her parents room (having a strong feeling she could find her preventive parents there), turned and glared at Tori "Yes Tori my parents went out to see the opera and have dinner. That's usually what people do when they go out on a date, they have dinner and see a show. Or has it been so long that you-OH HI DADDY!" as soon Jade heard her father's voice her tone turned sweet and innocent as she started to explain the situation to her father.

Suddenly Cat gasped and she shrieked "Oh my goodness! I really need to call my parents, they must be worried sick!" and two seconds later her phone was up to her ear and she was talking to her mom.

"That's not a bad idea I completely forgot about my parents" Beck said as he dialed into his phone his parents number.

"I thought that you didn't follow your parent's rules anymore" Robbie questioned as he waited for his parents to pick up.

"I don't have to but in a storm like this my parents would want to know where I am," Beck answered "Hi mom. Yes I'm all right. Hey do you know if Dad put my RV into the garage?"

"Mom, mom please tell Grandma to stop bugging out and let her know I wasn't kidnapped by rabbis" Andre pleaded into his phone.

"Dad I'm fine, but you'll never guess where I am...Jade's house!" Tori laughed in to the phone with a hint of hysteria "Wait. What do you mean you can't come and get me! Your a cop, use your siren or something!" About the same time Tori found out her parents couldn't come and get her, the others were finding out the same thing. Lowering their phones the friends just stared at each other "What are we going to do?" Tori asked what everyone was thinking, all of them (even Beck a little bit) were worried Jade wouldn't let them stay .

Suddenly Jade turned to look at friends with the phone pressed to her shoulder and with a gruff relaid the message her father just told her "My parents would like to let you and your parents know that you guys are more than welcome to stay the night on the condition that your parents are aware that we would be with out parental supervision. My father's exact words are that this weather's not fit for man or beast." With much relief that they weren't going to be left in the rain, everyone retold their parents Mr. West message and explained that Mr. and Mrs. West were out of town. Their parents, though not thrilled about the lack of a parental eye, had no other choice but to let their children stay the night at the old mansion.

"Looks like I'm staying here tonight" Andre sighed hanging up the phone.

"Well then it's nice to know I won't be here alone" Tori said as she offered her friends a half smile.

"Oh my gosh a sleep over! This is going to be so much fun!" Cat, who was always looking on the bright side, squealed in delight before she sneezed.

"I just got the okay from my parents" Beck announced as he put away his phone.

"I did too" Robbie replied right before Rex groaned " Oh man, I don't want to be stuck at the wicked witch of the West's house," he made sure to stress Jade's last name West "although maybe we can push her in the rain and see if she melts." Rex nodded pointedly at Jade who was still on the phone on the phone with her parents. Robbie quickly covered Rex's mouth and looked over at Jade to see if she was about to kill him, only to find she wasn't paying attention.

"Yes, Daddy I know where all the candles are in case the electricity goes out. All the important papers are in the indestructible safe. Dad, we live in an old brick hollywood mansion thats on a hill, these houses were made for storms like this and the hill means runoff, which means no flooding, which means you can stop worrying and bugging me," looking over at Jade as they listened to her talk to her father, the group could tell all his precautions were getting on Jade's nerves "Dad you bought this house because it's almost indestructible. Okay. Good night Daddy. I love you too. Can you put Mom on the phone, thank you. Hi Mommy. Yeah. I'm a big girl, I'll be fine. Good night, I'll see you soon. I love you Mommy." Hanging up the phone Jade turned to face her new guests, glaring at them as if daring someone to make fun of what she calls her parents "Are you all staying over?" After receiving nods from everyone Jade ran a hand through her hair and sighed "This is going a long night."
