Andre finally let go of Tori and the two of them walked up to the house. Andre as always was all smiles.
Andre: hey Beck, what's the deal, you couldn't wait for me before you started lunch?
Beck: Well I thought we picked you up in plenty of time, what did you do stop off for a drink or something?
Andre: The pilot said we picked up a headwind.
Beck: It's always something.
Andre: Really cool house dude, are you sure it is big enough?
Beck: For Now. Grab some food, I would offer to take you on a tour but Tori knows it well and I am sure you would rather spend the time with her. I had her pick out the furniture for the guest rooms so you guys would be comfortable if you stayed with us. Tori why don't you bring his stuff up to one of them and get him settled.
Tori: Ok, I want to hear all about the tour, too.
Beck: We all want to hear about that, save that discussion for when you come back down. There must be something else you can talk about or do in the meantime.
Tori smiled at Beck and took Andre by the hand and half dragged him up to the guest room. She opened the door to the one she particularly liked and they stepped inside.
Andre: This is nicer than my hotel room, any of them so far.
Tori: Well you can thank the decorator for that; I worked hard on this one. I thought it was the nicest one so I kind of picked it as ours, if we were staying with Beck.
Andre: It even has its own bathroom!
Tori: All of the bedrooms except one have an attached bathroom. Don't ask me what the logic was to that.
Andre: I have been traveling since early this morning. I think I will take a quick shower to get rid of the grunge.
Tori: Ok, I will unpack your suitcase and hang up your stuff for you.
Andre: Ok I will be right out.
Andre jumped into the shower and Tori raced around the room unpacking and organizing his stuff for him. She finished quickly and then began to prepare her own surprise for Andre. Most of that surprise involved her clothing neatly stacked on a chair and her nude form laid out on the bed, the next part was all enthusiasm.
Andre finished his shower and dried himself off. He then wrapped a towel around himself and came out to change.
Andre: Hey Tori nice unpacking job everything looks…
Andre's voice trailed off in wonder as his eyes traveled the length of the bed and took in the vision of his pretty friend, displayed as she was.
Andre: Girl with a little bit of garnish you would look good enough to eat.
Tori: Oh I just have this outfit for special occasions, like when my boyfriend is home from a tour.
Andre: We probably should not stay away from the others for too long, lucky for you I have not seen you in a while and I miss you so much.
Tori: This will just take the edge off, we have all night too.
Andre took little convincing. Within seconds his towel was on the floor and he and Tori were ravenously exploring each other's bodies. Reluctantly the satisfied themselves with one orgasm and then quickly got dressed again and went back to join the party.
On their way outside they passed Trina in the house.
Trina: What do you think of the guest rooms Andre; didn't Tori do a great job setting them up?
Andre: I only really saw one of them but it was very nice. Much better than the hotel rooms I have been staying in.
Trina: Oh that is right; you will have to tell us all about the joys of being on tour later. Oh while you are in here the twins are still awake, do you want to take a quick look before they fall asleep?
Andre: Oh you bet! Let's see the little guys.
Trina led Andre to the nursery and he poked his head into the door. The twins were still awake, but fading fast so he did not want to disturb them. He pulled his head back quietly.
Trina: Aren't they adorable?
Andre: Yes and it amazing, Marie looks just like you and David looks just like Sinjin, how about that?
Trina faked taking a swing at Andre and he ducked.
Trina: Oh you….
Andre: Seriously Trina the twins are beautiful, you and Beck are very lucky.
Trina: Thanks, any idea when you and Tori might start thinking about it?
Andre: Well right now I am on tour so this is a bad time. We may wait for a while. Don't you think your poor mom and dad need a little break?
Trina: I suppose this was a bit of a surprise for them. I don't know what would have happened if Beck's uncle hadn't come through like he did. You probably should try to wait as long as you can.
Tori: We are just going to try to be careful and then, well, what happens happens.
Andre: I see Beck is waving to us; we better head out and join him.
Beck was standing next to Lane and Sikowitz.
Beck: Andre you remember these two guys?
Andre: It has not been that long Beck, Hi Lane, Hey Sikowitz!
Lane: Andre, Sikowitz was just pointing out that Jade and Andre are the only two students making a living in the field we trained them for.
Beck: Well, that is not completely true; Robbie and Cat did have that show for one season.
Sikowitz: That is true, I had forgotten that.
Cat: Sikowitz! You forgot me!
Sikowitz: No Cat, I could never forget you. I just had a memory slip about that delightful little children's show you and Robbie had.
Cat: I think the network had the same problem.
Sikowitz: Well don't worry Cat, with your talent and abilities you will find something again.
Cat: I hope so, I don't know what I would do if I had to get a real job, I have no experience in anything but music and dance.
Sikowitz: The important thing is to never give up. You have to keep pursuing your dream. Things always work out. Just sometimes not the way we expect. Look at Beck and Trina; they are married, have two children a beautiful home and Beck has a great job. He is not acting, but by all other counts he is a great success, and you never know, he still may act someday.
Beck: Hey Andre, Cat is feeling a little down, what to share with her the joys of following your career?
Andre: Well I love my music. I love writing songs and performing songs. I could live without the red-eye flights and the all night rehearsals living out of a suitcase and checking in and out of hotels daily and of course the most important thing, having to spend time away from the people I care about.
A big Aww went up from the group at that and everyone looked at Tori.
Andre: Yes, some days I just don't know how my grandma is going to get along.
Tori: Grandma, why you!
Tori leaped at Andre pretending to be infuriated by his response, but then end up kissing and laughing about it.
Jade: You know Cat, a good agent is a big help in finding jobs, maybe you should consider trying to sign on with my agency.
Cat: You think they would take me Jade, I mean I am nothing like you.
Jade: Cat, you are everything like me, you are a singer and a dancer and you can act. You can even juggle and I can't do that. I will set up a meeting with you and my agent for Monday and you can talk to him.
Cat: Kay, Kay, oh thanks Jadey
Cat gave her friend a big hug
Holly: Tori you should start thinking about that too.
Tori: Well I wanted to be around to help Trina.
Holly: You did, now Trina and the babies are home and I can come over and help out. You should think about looking for something you would enjoy doing.
Cat: Jadey why don't you ask your agent about Tori too.
Jade: Why not, maybe if I bring him two new clients I get a toaster-oven or something.
Tori: Beck would that leave you short at work though?
Beck: Not really, Robbie is there now and Claire my other secretary is still there. I can always hire someone if I need them; you were more than a little overqualified for the job.
Tori: Well if you are sure….
Cat: Yay, it's going to almost like old times again, the three of us together.
Jade: Yes, this should be fun.
Soon the party began to wind down and people started leaving.
Jade was first to make one final last round saying goodbye and promising to keep in touch, especially with Tori and Cat., then Holly and David finally Cat and Robbie as Tori and Andre were planning on making use of Beck's guest room for the remainder of Andre's visit.
Tori and Andre then helped Beck and Trina pick up and clean up. After all that, they crashed in the living room for awhile.
Trina: So, Beck, our first party.
Beck: Yay!
Trina: Think it was a success?
Beck: Well everybody seemed happy, How about Jade volunteering to hook up Cat and Tori with her agent, that was something.
Tori: That was amazing I guess the old Jade really has gone. I kind of like this version. By the way Beck, thank you so much for getting Andre here, that was a great surprise...
Beck: Glad to help out. How long can you stay Andre?
Andre: Actually I have to fly out tomorrow again. You caught me on the way to the Chicago Show.
Tori: Well there go my plans.
Andre: Sorry baby, the joys of the touring musician.
Tori: Beck are you sure you don't have a brother?
Andre: Wow, see how fast they turn on you?
Tori hugs Andre.
Tori: I was only teasing. Too bad I made that appointment with Jade to see her agent tomorrow. I could have flown out and joined the tour.
Andre: Joining a tour in the middle is tough. Better you get the agent and get something from the beginning.
Beck: Ok so let's get a handle on tomorrow. The first thing is to get Andre back on tour. The limo is scheduled for 8 am to get him to LAX and then he is off to O'Hare and done. For the rest of us the shop opens at 9:00am, Cat will be coming in with Robbie and then Jade will swing by and pick up Tori and Cat to see her agent. I imagine you guys will be with Jade for lunch. Robbie and I will get lunch at work and then onward until whatever time you get back. Depending on what time it is maybe we can order in for dinner or something. I don't want to put too much pressure on Trina, since she will be with the babies all day.
Tori: Somehow I think she will have some help from mom, but you are great to worry about her.
Beck: Hey before she only had one whiny baby to care for, now she has three, I understand that.
Trina: Oh you weren't that whiny. Actually pretty much the same thing that quiets down the twins used to keep you happy too.
Trina made a strange face, as if she just realized what she said, Andre laughed and sprayed out his drink and Beck turned a very deep shade of red. Tori just put her head down and chuckled quietly.
Trina finally looked up sheepishly: I think I am going to turn in now.
Beck: Me too, Andre, great seeing you again buddy, hopefully next time we will have more time.
Andre: Ok, thanks for everything man, in case I don't see you in the morning.
Beck and Trina went off to bed.
Tori: We should probably turn in; too, you have a big day tomorrow.
Andre: Right behind you.
