A/N: The main cast and my 4 OC's are 17, except Trina, who's 18. I have 2 story idea's I'd like to start after I finish this. A sequel to 'In The End', a one-shot I did a while ago, and the Jori supernatural story. Let me know which you'd like to see more. I put the other 2 ideas aside for now. I don't know how to do them yet, and I may scrap them, in all honesty. Anyway, Unexpected is nearing it's end. The next chapter is going to be the couples in Slap videos. Each couple has their own, so there will be 5, and it will all be one chapter.

A few weeks later

Sitting in Sikowitz's class, everyone is sitting and chatting like usual, waiting for Sikowitz. Looking around, Jade notices that there a couple of students missing.

"I'm not complaining, but where are Cris and Hayley?"

"Don't know. I haven't seen either of them since the concert last month. You think something happened?" Carlos asks his goth girlfriend.

"No. If so, I wasn't involved."

"You worry me Jade. It sounded like you wanted something to happen to them."

"Relax, Tori. I don't. Where's Sikowitz? He's later than usual."

"Don't know. One time my brother was late for a meeting with his 'special' doctor one time. They sent guys to find him. They eventually found him in a tree. He fell when the tried to get him."

"Is he ok?"

"Is who ok, Jace?"

"You're brother."

"No. He's messed up."

"Don't bother, Jace. Trust me."

"I'll take your word for it, Beck."

Talking to each other again, no one notices Sikowitz until he yells.

"Silence! Now that I got your attention, I have news. Cristopher and Hayley have moved out of L.A. Apparently they were only here temporarily. Well, Cristopher was anyway. His father was here for business, and they moved to Pittsburgh a couple of weeks ago. As for Hayley, I don't know. Helen just told me she moved. Anyway. Alphabet improv. We haven't done that in a while. Beck, choose three actors."

"Ok? Tori, Cat, and Jace."

Heading up to the stage, the four students look to Sikowitz, waiting for him to continue.

"Ok, Jade, give us a letter."

"S."

"Good. Beck. S. It can be about anything you want. Start."

Beck- "So, how was everybody's weekend?"

Tori "Tiresome. Trina wanted help shopping."

Jace- "Unfortunate. Mine was pretty good. I spent it with Cat."

Cat- "Very fun. We went baby golfing. I won."

Beck- "What fun. I did nothing fun. Tori was busy, so I relaxed."

Tori- "X-citement was far from mine. How about this weekend, we all get together and hang out?"

Jace- "Yeah, sounds like a plan. We haven't hung out as a group in a while."

Cat- "Zoo has new animal exhibit. How about there?"

Beck- "Awesome. How about we talk with everyone later to get their input?"

Tori- "Better to wait. I think Jade's unhappy."

Jace- "She hates zoos?"

Sikowtiz- "Jace, sit. You're letter was 'C'. Cat, continue with 'C'."

Cat- "Can have a sleepover at Tori's friday night?"

Beck- "Does that sound good babe?"

Tori- "Sure. Dang it!"

Sikowitz- "Tori, your letter was 'E'. Cat and Beck, continue. 'E'."

Cat- "Elephants are afraid of mice."

Beck- "I don't know how to respond to that."

"Beck, you lose. Cat, you win. Now, Jade, Carlos, André, Talia. To the stage. Cat, a letter."

"C!"

"Ok. Jade. 'C'. Go."

Jade- "Carlos, what do you think of the zoo idea?"

Carlos- "Don't see a problem. I haven't been there since the day I auditioned for Hollywood Arts."

Talia- "Easy enough. How much is it for a day pass per person?"

Andre- "Fifteen fifty, I think."

Jade- "Get ready to hear Carlos here talk a lot. He's like a walking animal encyclopedia."

Carlos- "You say that like I bore you with information all day. Wait."

Sikowitz- "Carlos. Wrong letter. Talia, 'H'."

Talia- "How's the weather saturday looking? Anyone know?"

Andre- "I wish. Supposed to be nice from what I hear though."

Jade- "Just as long as we don't take the RV like our trip to the ocean a few years ago, I'll deal."

Talia- "What trip and what RV?"

Sikowitz- "Talia, you missed some letters. André, 'K'."

Andre- "K. I'll explain later, Talia."

Jade- "Let's talk about something interesting."

Andre- "Like?"

"Jade wins. I know these aren't competitions, but some of you lose focus easily." Sikowtiz says before André catches his mistake.

"Not my fault Jade tricked me."

"How did I trick you, André?"

"Your idea of interesting is intimidating sometimes."

"Baby. So, are we seriously considering going to the L.A. zoo this weekend?"

"Jade, why are you talking about weekend plans during my class?" Sikowtiz asks.

"Cause I can. Bell's gonna ring in a bit anyway."

"What do you mean? We have plenty of time."

"You were twenty minutes late, Sikowitz."

"Well, you see, I ..."

Before Sikowtiz could finish, the bell rings, causing Jade to give Sikowitz a knowing look as she grabs her stuff and heads out with the group.

Heading to their usual seat after they all grab lunch, Jade looks to the rest of the group.

"So. Are we seriously planning on going to the zoo?"

"Can't. They're closed for maintenance for the next few weeks." Carlos says, before taking a drink of his water.

"And you didn't say anything before? And how do you know this?" Beck asks, confused at Carlos.

"I know the owner. He called me a few days ago. I wanted to see Nailah too, though."

"Who is Nailah?"

"Calm, Jade. Nailah's a gray wolf I befriended while I was in Pitt for a few years. She came from the Pittsburgh Zoo a few months ago, and I haven't had a chance to visit her."

"Oh. You're lucky I believe you. So, any plan ideas for this weekend then?"

"Me and Beck are going on a date. We talked about it in line at the Grub Truck."

"Ooh, yay Tori. Can Jace and I double with you?"

"Uh, I guess. You guys okay with that?"

"Sure." "Why not. Sounds fun." The two Oliver cousins state at the same time, after glancing at their girlfriends.

"That's taken care of. I know Trina says that her and Robbie are going on a date as well. So that leaves you four." Tori says, looking ant André, Talia, Jade, and Carlos at the end of her sentence.

"I don't know about those three," Carlos starts, looking down as he speaks. "But I need to look for a new place. The owner of the apartment complex I live in sold the building. There aren't too many people that live there, but we all have until the end of the month to move out. So I only have a couple of weeks."

"Well, my dad actually likes you, which surprises me. Maybe I can convince him to let you move in. He's rarely there, anyway."

"I can't ask you to do that Jade. I know you two are rocky as it is."

"Don't care. I'll be back."

Walking away before anyone could stop her, Jade heads towards the parking lot, taking her phone out as she walks away.

"How much stuff do you have?" Tori asks her cousin, who is looking at Jade, worry on his face.

"Not too much. Clothes, some books, my laptop, some other essential stuff, and Kira's stuff."

"That's it? No t.v., bed? Nothing else?"

"Well, bed's a given. That was an 'essential stuff', but I don't blame you for not knowing. No t.v. A coffee maker, which I bought for Jade during the assignment. Not much else."

"My father's fine with it. He knows about Kira too. I'll help you pack throughout the week and we can have you moved in saturday." Jade announces, taking everyone by surprise by her sudden reappearance.

"Wow. Thanks. Some of it's already packed. Just clothes and some other stuff. Thanks, really, Jade. How'd you convince him to let your boyfriend move in with you?"

"I told him you and Kira were moving in. He moved in with his new girlfriend anyway. Because I'm not 18 yet, he's paying the rent for me still. He doesn't really care about you moving in. As long as you don't cause any problems, he won't mind."

"Cool, thanks again."

"Don't mention it. And stop thanking me. I'm not used to it and it's weird."

Chatting until the bell rings, no one notices the smile that Jade and Carlos have, except Cat, but she looks to the others and talks about the dates on saturday, which André and Talia have decided that they're going on one as well.
