Jade was waiting in front of the airport. Her excitement grew by the minute. The plane would land in a few minutes and she couldn't wait to see the others again. After fifteen more minutes that seemed like an eternity for her, she saw the gang walk towards the place she was standing. She held up a cardboard sign which read "Hollywood Arts" while the others were looking.

"I found her." Robbie said as he pointed towards Jade holding up the sign. Cat squealed as she dropped her luggage for the others to pick up and ran towards Jade, basically tackling her best friend as she crushed her in a big hug. Jade tossed away the sing as she watched Cat run towards her, hugging her back for dear life. She saw the others approach them, Andre and Robbie carrying Cat's things now. When Cat finally let go, Jade felt herself embraced again, this time by Tori. Robbie and Andre followed quickly, leaving Beck standing there, simply looking at her. She ran over towards him and wrapped her arms around his neck. He hugged her back and lifted her up from the ground. Finally, she crashed her lips onto his for a long, passionate kiss. They didn't care that the whole airport was staring now. She didn't care, she was happy. And Beck cared even less. He wasn't from the place, so screw them. After a few minutes, Jade led them outside of the airport. She watched their jaws drop as she walked them towards a black stretch limousine.

"Is that for us?" Tori asked as she stood there, seemingly cemented in the ground.

"Yup. I figured I'll give you the best possible welcome I can. So before we get to my place, how about we take a ride trough the city?" Jade asked as she looked back at them. They only nodded, at which she only chuckled. They got inside the limousine, commenting every detail as they sit down. Jade leaned over and whispered something to the chauffeur. He only nodded and began driving. She sat back down in her seat next to Beck.

"How was the flight?" She asked them.

"It was nice. I never flied first class before." Andre said.

"Yeah, but seven hours is way too long, even in first class." Robbie added.

"Well, imagine if we shot this in Europe or even Australia. How would you handle twenty-some hours of flying?" Jade joked.

"I would tuck my head into the toilet and flush it. It would rip my head right off and the suffering would be over." Beck stated, making everyone, including the driver, laugh.

"Who knows, if Jade directs another movie after this one, and they do shoot somewhere far away…" Tori began.

"Well, then you can use my beheaded body as a prop." Beck joked again as he put his arm around Jade and gave her another kiss.

They drove around for an hour, with Jade showing them the town she had been in for the past five months. After they were done, the limousine parked in front of the building where Jade's apartment was. They got out and the limousine drove off. Jade led them upstairs towards her place and opened the door. They entered, all uttering long "Wows" as they got inside. They placed their things in a corner and checked out her place. The bathroom got everyone's attention immediately. Beck, on the other hand, took a look at the bedroom.

"So that's the king sized bed you were talking about." He said with a grin as he was looking at Jade. She rolled her eyes, slapping him playfully on the arm.

"How are we going to do this? I mean, there is six of us." Cat asked as she stood in the living room.

"Wait a minute." Jade said as she walked over. She pulled the bottom of the couch, turning it into a bed for two. She did the same to the sofas, making them a bed for one person.

"I suggest you and Tori sleep on the couch while Andre and Robbie sleep on the sofas."

"And me?" Beck asked, grinning behind her.

"You can sleep outside if you don't stop with the perverted comments." She told him.

"Okay." He said with a pout, making Jade shake her head again.

"The festival begins tomorrow. It starts at six, so hot about we have dinner around two, get to my favorite café when we are done and then go to the festival?."

"Great idea, but what about tonight?" Tori asked.

"There is a nice beach bar a few minutes away. How about we go there and simply relax?" Jade suggested.

"Why not. We'll party for real once the movie becomes a success." Andre said as he took his case and began looking for some clothes. They all changed and Jade walked them towards the place. The place was empty, which was usual for that time. They placed a few tables together and sat down, each one of them ordering a cocktail.

"Nervous about the pre-premiere tomorrow?" Tori asked her. Everyone looked at Jade, waiting for her answer.

"I am. I really worked hard on this, and I had great people to work with. I can't wait for you to meet them." Jade said.

"How about you introduce us now?" Jade heard a familiar voice say it. She turned around to see Jacob, a blond woman holding his hand, Andrew and Rachel standing behind them. Jade got up and walked over to her boss and the actors. They chatted for a moment, with the others looking on.

"Guys, I want you to meet Jacob, the producer I told you about." She motioned towards him.

"Nice to meet you all." He said as he shook each of their hands. "I heard a lot about you."

"This is Andrew, he plays the killer in the movie, and this is Rachel, she is one of the main heroines." She introduced them. "Hello, nice to meet you." They both said as the others introduced themselves.

"And… I'm sorry, you are?" Jade looked at the blonde woman standing in front of her.

"Jade, this is Monica, the date I told you about the first time you came here." Jacob told her.

"Nice to meet you. You got yourself a good guy there." She said as she looked towards Jacob.

"I know." Monica told her.

"So, what are you guys doing her?" Jade finally asked them.

"Well, I really love this place because of the view and the atmosphere, so I called Andrew and Rachel and asked them if they are up for a double date. I didn't expect to find you here." Jacob explained.

"Come on, sit down with us." Jade invited them. They gladly accepted and they added even more tables to the spot. After getting their drinks, they talked about a lot off things, with one common topic amongst each one of them. Jade.

"So, what do you guys do? Acting? Singing?" Andrew asked as he looked at the group.

"We mostly do both." Cat answered.

"I don't sing. My singing is as bad as it can be." Beck said.

"Oh trust me, you haven't heard Jacob sing." Andrew laughed as the other man turned towards him with a "what the hell" face.

"My singing isn't that bad." Jacob protested.

"Come on. They banned us from all the karaoke bars in the area. They even threw us out when we were in Malibu bar." Andrew said.

"But they don't have karaoke there." Rachel stated, looking confused.

"My point exactly." Andrew stated, making everyone but Jacob laugh. Monica patted her boyfriend on the back as he mumbled something under his breath.

They talked for quite some time. Once they noticed it was actually 2 AM, Jade paid the check and they all separated. Once at Jade's place, everyone went to sleep. Everyone but Jade.

She hadn't caught any sleep for a few days now. She was too nervous. She got out of bed and Beck's arms and slowly walked trough the living room so she didn't wake up anyone else. She stood on the balcony and leaned on the guardrail. She enjoyed the view from there. It calmed her down a bit. She was glad that her friends were here with her. She was glad they all came. It wasn't a small trip, but they did it for her.

"Can't sleep, huh?" Jade jumped a bit when she heard someone. She turned around to see Tori standing behind her.

"Wow, you scared me." Jade said as she tried to calm down.

"Payback for the trailer. But why are you awake at 4 AM?" Tori asked her, leaning on the guardrail next to Jade.

"I haven't really slept well in the past few days. I'm just nervous about tomorrow. Or today, technically." She sighed.

"Jade, stop being like that. The whole time at the bar everyone praised your work. Have some confidence in your skills."

"But what if it fails?"

"What if it succeeds? What if tomorrow you scare the hell out of the audience and the movie becomes a success?"

"I don't know…" Jade sighed. Tori placed her hand on Jade's back and gently rubbed it.

"Jade, you did your best. No one can expect more from you. Try to get some sleep. If you can't, I can keep you company here."

"You really are too nice Tori." Jade said as a small smile formed on her face.

"Yeah, I hear that a lot." She said with a smirk.

"Go to bed. I'll be fine."

"You sure?"

"Yeah, I'm sure. Thank you again." Jade said and Tori nodded, walking back inside. She wasn't alone for long tough.

"You know, last time we stood on a balcony like this, you were leaving." Jade heard Cat say as she walked towards her.

"I remember it like it was yesterday. You didn't take it well."

"I didn't. Hearing you would leave was among the worst news in my life."

"I'm sorry."

"You have nothing to apologize for." Cat said as she walked next to Jade and leaned her head on the taller girls shoulder. "We already talked about it. It's okay. We both did stupid things. We both did mistakes. And guess what? You are still my best friend." Cat felt Jade's arm move as she placed it around her shoulder.

"And you are mine." Jade said softly.

"Now, go to sleep. You have a big day coming." Cat told her.

"I can't sleep. I'm…"

"Nervous, I know. But it's only going to become worse if you are tired. Trust me, I know." Cat said as she took Jades' hand and lead her inside. Jade followed her without resistance. Cat stopped in front of the bedroom door and motioned Jade to walk in.

"Get some sleep." Cat said as she gave Jade a quick hug.

"You too." Jade said as she got inside. She lied down next to Beck again. He immediately wrapped his arms around her and pulled her closer. She fell asleep in his arms, finally resting after quite some time.
