AN: There is no author's note, so HA! Made you look! lol :o)

Disclaimer: I don't own Instant Star or any of the characters. If I did, Jude and Tommy would be together already. But since they're not, obviously I don't. Duh.

Note: This is in Jamie's perspective, and takes place in Unsweet Sixteen, right after Tommy makes Jude promise that it never happened. I know, it's been way overdone by a lot of other people, but I just wanted to get it out of my system anyway. So please review, even if you hate it.

The Best Laid Plans:

"You'll see," I said, as I grabbed Kat's hand and dragged her out the door.

I drove to G Major, with Kat constantly bugging me about what I was doing, and didn't say anything until I got there.

"I know how to make you talk," Kat said, a sly smile slowly spreading on her face.

"Hmm?" I said distractedly, then realized what Kat was doing, "Hey, stop it!" I started laughing, a little too late.

"Sorry, Andrews. Not until you spill the beans." Kat loved having the upper hand.

"All right, all right," I said, putting my hands up in mock surrender. "We ask Tommy where a good place would be to have a secret meeting, and then when he asks why, we tell him no reason. You know, play it cool, until he's dying to know why, then we tell him Jude wanted to know. Then, when he's interested, we'll say something about how she wanted to meet him there, because there's something she wanted to talk to him about that she couldn't on the phone, in the studio, you get the picture."

"OK, I guess that would work," Kat lied, knowing Tommy would see right through it.

"What? You're actually agreeing with me?" I said, not picking up on her sarcasm.

"Yeah, Andrews, you're absolutely right," Kat said, smiling at me. I knew I had it in me all along. "But what about Jude?"

I was still hung up on Kat's statement that I was 100 right. Me, Jamie Andrews, had had a great idea. One that was absolutely foolproof. I felt a slap across my face, and instantly felt the burn.

"Ow! What didja do that for?" I said, rubbing my face where it hurt.

"Oh, sorry," Kat said, not meaning it at all. "I was trying to get your attention, but since I didn't have a glass of water to throw at you…"

"Ha, ha. So what was it you were asking me earlier?" I ignored Kat's smirk.

"I said, 'But what about Jude?'" Kat repeated, a little annoyed.

"Oh, that," I waved it off. "We'll just tell her what we tell Tommy, and she'll fall for it. She'll think he wants to make up with her, and we'll trap them in there so that they'll either kill each other, which they won't, since their jobs depend on each other, or they'll make up and be closer than ever."

"Wow, Jamie," Kat said, her mouth hanging slightly open. "That was…That's actually a good idea. You know, now that I think about it, I think this could actually work." She paused for a moment, then whacked me on the arm as I coiled back in pain. "So what are you waiting for? GO!" she roared. I took off flying.

I ran into G Major, almost knocking over Tommy in my haste. "Whoa, watch where you're going, Andrews," Tommy said, a menacing look on his face. That guy scares me sometimes, the way he can make you want to crawl under a rock and hide until he goes away.

"Sorry, Tommy," I said quickly, hoping he wouldn't be mad that I almost mowed him over. "Can we talk?"

"This'd better be good," Tommy said, leading me into a small studio space. "So, what'd you want to talk about?"

"Uh…" I stuttered, trying to remember what Kat's and my plan was. Tommy looked slightly annoyed, when I remembered. "Oh yeah, do you know where someone could go to have a private conversation?"

"Duh," Tommy said, motioning with his arm the room we were in.

"What I meant was, someplace where people couldn't overhear you," I said.

"That depends, what kind of place are you looking for?" Good. I had Tommy fooled. At least I hope I did.

"Someplace a little out of the way, where no one could disturb you," I said without thinking.

Tommy looked at me, quirking an eyebrow up. "You mean you, don't you? Wait, are you planning something with Kat?"

"Uh, yeah, that's it. I want to tell her that I'm over Jude and I'm all about her. I just hope she'll take me back," I said. I hope I sounded convincing. Now, to get Tommy to meet me there. Suddenly, I had this great idea. "Do you think you could help me find the right words to say to her?"

"Yeah, sure, why not?" Tommy said, a smile tugging at his lips. "Even better, why don't we go there so that you can get a feel for it?"

"Yeah, sounds great," I lied. I gave Tommy the time and place, and he said he'd be there, ready to help.

I walked back out, where Kat stood by my car, tapping her foot impatiently.

"What took you so long?" were the first words out of her mouth.

"It doesn't matter, he's coming." I announced proudly to her.

"Yeah, great, no big deal. So's Jude." Kat looked bored now.

"Yeah, OK, great," I tried to sound cheerful, but the words I'd spoken just moments before echoed loudly in my head. "I'm over Jude…" Was I? Would I ever be? Who was I kidding? I'd been in love with Jude ever since we were kids. Ever since she chased me around the neighborhood for getting her all muddy. So how could I give her a chance with the one guy I knew she'd always wanted, if it meant that I'd never get a chance with her?
