AN: I has been brought to my attention that scripts are not an allowed format in FF and that this story may be at risk of getting deleted. Unfortunately, I saw that after I wrote Chapter 5. I'll try to write Chapter 6 in a different format. For now, let's hope the "Fic Police" doesn't notice and I don't get in much trouble.
Chapter 5: I love you…I think
Disclaimer: I don't own Victorious.
Ok first of all I would like to thank those who were kind enough to leave a review. The more reviews I get, the more inspired I am to write new chapters faster. I have a very good idea of the direction I want this story to take. So if you feel that a chapter makes no sense and may seem like a bit of a filler, don't worry, there's a reason for that.
Second of all: I think by now this is pretty obvious, but just in case I'll clarify: Italics means a characters own thought. They're not actually saying those lines out loud.
***Beck's RV. Tuesday. 7:55pm***
Beck had asked Jade to go to his RV later that evening, to do "homework and stuff" as he calls it. Jade is always on time when it comes to "study dates" so he knew she'd be there in about 5 minutes. Just as he was getting his RV ready for Jade, he gets a call from Andre.
Beck: Hey man.
Andre: Hey, what's up?
Beck: Oh nothing, I'm just waiting for Jade to arrive.
Andre: I see. What for? Wait, I probably shouldn't ask.
Beck: Hahaha, no it's cool. I asked her to come and help me with the script I'm writing.
Andre: I'm stuck on that too, that's why I was calling you. But Jade should be able to help you, she's the best writer in the entire school.
Beck: Yes, she is. But hopefully, we won't be getting much writing done.
Andre: Ok, bye…
Beck: Andre wait, I was kidding. Work first, fun later (unconvincing).
Andre: I rather not hear about the fun.
Just then, Jade knocks on Beck's RV door.
Beck: Sorry Andre, Jade's here. I gotta go.
Andre: Bye, see you tomorrow.
(Call ends. Beck opens the door)
Beck: Come in, my lady.
Jade: Thank you, my love. So, how's your script coming along?
Beck: Yeah, um, about that. I really don't feel like doing homework right now?
Jade: Really? (raises eyebrow) So what do you want to do instead?
Beck grins and kisses her hard.
Beck: I love you. We haven't had any "fun" in a long time.
Jade: What do you mean? (confused)
Beck: Jade, you haven't lost your memory have you?
Jade: No no, I remember everything.
Beck: So then you must remember what we always do on our "study dates" before we actually study, right?
Jade: Well yes, but I feel that we should work on the script right now. You know you're not doing great in that class and if you don't get at least a B in this assignment your entire grade will be at a serious risk.
Beck: Ok, ok, I guess you're right.
Jade: Great. Now, why don't you get everything ready while I go wash my hands real quick. They're kinda dirty.
Beck: Go right ahead.
Beck: What is wrong with Jade? Normally she wouldn't refuse an opportunity for "fun" stuff even if it means having to stay up all night for homework.
Jade: I'm back
Beck: No you're not, if were really back you'd be cuddling with me in my bed and not wearing any clothes.
Jade: Ok, let me grab my laptop and my notebook…
Beck: I wish you'd be grabbing ME not those senseless objects. Oh GOD I want you so bad.
Jade: Ok, ready to work?
Beck: Yup, let's get it on*.
Jade: WHAT did you just say?
Beck: Oh great, a Freudian slip, just what I needed.
Jade: Beck?
Beck: I mean, I mean let's get ON with, you know, the script. Let's get to work, that's what I meant (nervous)
Jade: Ok, then come sit by me.
Beck: Great, so she lost all her sass but she still remembers an old slang that no one from our school ever says anymore.
Jade: Hey…Beck?
Beck: Yes, I'm right here.
Jade: Ok listen, I'll have a look at your script and then I'll tell you what I think about it and what you should change. Deal?
Beck: Works for me.
Just as Jade begins to read Beck's script, Beck gets into deep thoughts about Jade's new personality. He's so deep in thought that he's unaware of anything going on in his surroundings.
Beck: I know I have always complained about Jade being mean, over bearing, abrasive, and arrogant. But now that I think about it, I think that's exactly what I like about her. She's not like any other girls. Every day there was something new about her, every day I discovered something that I didn't know before…
Jade: Oh, hey Beck?
Beck: …I mean I should be happy she changed and now is nice and sweet, but I'm starting to miss the old Jade, MY Jade. At first I was so happy about her new personality I didn't consider that this change might affect our relationship. What if a change in personality means her taste in men will also change…
Jade: Beck? Can you hear me?
Beck: …it could very well happen, I mean now that she's nice what if other guys become interested in her and want to date her? What if she finds someone who is perfect and leaves me for him? I haven't exactly been a perfect boyfriend to her. I mean, I've done a lot of things that make me a jerk, so what if she doesn't want to date a jerk?
Jade: Earth to Beck!
Beck: Well then, all I have to do is change MY personality to match hers. But that would be so fake. She won't like me if I'm fake. But I'm an actor, I can pretend to be Prince Charming, but I can't do that for the rest of my life.
Jade: BECK! I'm starting to worry, what is happening? SAY SOMETHING!
Beck: Now I'm really worried, I can't lose Jade again. If I lose her again, she won't take me back a third time. I just can't imagine my life without her. Without her my life is so empty and boring. I need her more than anything….
Before Beck could finish his last thought, he was interrupted by something very cold and very WET.
(Splash)
Beck: AHHH! Jade? What did you do?
Jade: I'm sorry honey, but that's the only way I could grab your attention.
Beck: Cold water? Not bad, normally she have thrown her scissors at me or break something or hit me very hard with a something not soft. Cold water is not that bad actually.
Jade: BECK!
Beck: Oh sorry, I'm ok now. So, did you read my script?
Jade: Yes, I did. And I think it's very good.
Beck: You what? You always say how my script writing is terrible.
Jade: But I mean terrible in the best possible way (smiles)
Beck: How sweet. So, anything I should change about it?
Jade: I corrected some spelling mistakes, but other than that I think it's great.
Beck: That's awesome. Soooo, now that homework is done…
Jade: Oh oh.
Beck: Oh oh what?
Jade: I know what you're gonna say.
Beck: Oh yes I'm gonna (smirks)
Jade: Look Beck, don't take this the wrong way but I'm really not in the mood.
Beck: Can we talk about this (sad)
Jade: Oh you look sad. What do you want to talk about?
Beck: Jade, do you love me?
Jade: Of course I love you silly.
Beck: Yes, but, do you love me like you used to?
Jade: What do you mean? (confused)
Beck: Look, you have changed, a LOT. And to be honest with you, I fear that your feelings towards me may also change.
Jade: I don't get it.
Beck: I just thought that now that you're sweet, nice, caring, and friendly, that perhaps you may want to be with a "Prince Charming" type of guy.
Jade: I already found Prince Charming.
Beck: Jade, you know I'm no Prince Charming. I'm not the perfect boyfriend and sometimes I have been a bit of a jerk.
Jade: Listen to me Beck. You may not be the perfect boyfriend and you may not be Prince Charming, but you're MY perfect boyfriend and most importantly you're MY Prince Charming. And I love you…I think.
Beck: You THINK (panics)
Jade: I'm kidding. Of course I love you.
Bade: Don't scare me like that. Please don't ever do that EVER again.
Jade: I won't, I promise.
Beck: Ok then, it's getting late. I know you're not in the mood for "fun" stuff, and I for once will be a gentleman and respect that.
Jade: Thank you.
Beck: So how about we just lay down and cuddle.
Jade: That sounds nice.
Beck and Jade cuddle in Beck's bed. And after a while they both fall asleep at almost the same time.
At this point Beck is still afraid that this change in Jade will affect their relationship. He likes that she's nice to other people, but he's wondering if he'll ever get tired of her, but most importantly if SHE will ever get tired of him. As a matter of fact, he's beginning to question whether he likes this Jade better than the old Jade (or as Sikowitz described her: the ONLY Jade).
End of Chapter 5.
*Note: "Let's get it on" it's old urban slang for sex – just in case you didn't know. It was a very common Freudian slip in the 80-90's, but not so much anymore.
Coming up on "I Fall To Pieces": Jade's friends start to realize that they miss the old Jade. And later, they try to come up with ideas as to how to get the old Jade back.
