It was a beautiful and cloudless day outside. The rare type of blue sky you'd see in LA, a perfect day for the beach. After announcing what plans Beck had for the day, the gang each excitedly raced to their rooms, calling who was first to use the bathroom. All but Robbie who trailed next to Beck.

"Hey Beck." Robbie called to him once everyone was a safe distance away. It was embarrassing enough to have to ask this, but ten times worse if anyone was to overhear; especially a certain dark clad girl.

"Whassup Rob?" Beck asked him grabbing a Granny-Smith apple from the table and tossing it in the air.

"Um, nothings up. Just…Need your advice on something." Robbie started casually grabbing a red apple and tossing it in the air before ducking from it and missing terribly. Beck stifled a laugh as Robbie tried to play it off by leaning on the counter. Classic Robbie.

"If its about how to pop your back pimple you're on your own." Beck raised his hands in defense. Robbie shook his head.

"Once, I only asked once."

"Four times." Beck corrected.

"Fine. Four times, but that's not the point. I need your advice on a girl. There's a girl I like. You know her." he confessed. Beck raised an eyebrow, wondering who it was. If he knew her, could it be Jade? Nah, he's terrified of her. Trina? Maybe, but that wouldn't last. Trina's…Well Trina. Then they narrowed, Tori?

"Who?" he asked taking half a step towards the curly haired boy. Robbie didn't seem to notice the sudden hostility, and Beck wasn't quite sure why his mood just suddenly changed. He took a breath and waited for Robbie to continue.

"Um, its Cat." That wasn't anything new, and Beck mentally slapped himself for getting so worked up, of course it was Cat. He nodded urging him to continue.

"Thing is, she's a really good friend. And I like her a lot. I just don't know how to tell her this. Do I buy her something?" Robbie asked eagerly taking out his credit card and began rambling about cheese.

"No, you don't need to buy her anything."

"I don't get girls." he cut Beck off. Beck sighed and ran a hand through his hair, this was going to be hard.

"You don't have to buy Cat anything. And if it makes you feel any better, I really think she likes you too. A lot. The best thing you can do is just be you." Beck shrugged at the end of his speech flashing his friend a smile. At least one of them may have a girlfriend by the end of the this trip.

"That's easy for you to say. You're Beck freaking Oliver. You have no problems getting girls." Robbie sighed dejectedly slumping in a chair by him. Beck laughed to himself softly.

"Trust me, not even I can get the girl of my dreams." he mumbled taking a bite of his apple. Robbie's eyes widened.

"What? Who is she? Is she Jade?" Robbie said excitedly obvious hearing his confession. Beck laughed nervously and ran a hand through his hair. Perhaps he said too much.

"Nothing, nothing. But I really think Cat digs you, so don't try and change who you are." Beck changed the subject and ruffled Robbie's hair on his way out the room.

Meanwhile upstairs Tori debated what swimsuit she wanted to wear. Her striped tie-dye monoki? Or her pink feather print two piece? She groaned at all the choices, why'd she have to pack so darn many? Trina sat already bikini clad on a short blue stool in front of a mirror applying her makeup.

"Trina, we're going swimming, is makeup really necessary?" she asked her older sister who glared at her in the mirror rather than turning to her.

"Its called water-proof. And you could really use something that wont make you look so…Bland." she turned to Tori eyeing her pajamas; a simple Hello Kitty pink and white striped tank with matching bottoms. Tori gasped, but before she could say anything more a knock was heard at the door. "You're getting that." Trina deadpanned.

"You're closer!" but she still went to open the door to be face to face with Cat, who wore a cute pink ribbon bikini with a matching skirt. Very Cat-like.

"Don't you look cute?" Tori complimented as Cat twirled showing off her curvaceous features.

"Meh." Trina shrugged tilting her hand.

Finally the gang was at the beach.

"Water!" Cat screamed racing towards the shore grabbing Robbie's hand and dragging him once again, not that he'd complain or anything. Beck smiled watching the potential couple.

"They are so cute together." Tori cooed resting a head on Beck's bare shoulder. He jumped in surprise slightly but not enough to stir her. Tori was oblivious to his odd behavior lately, something he couldn't quite explain himself. But Jade wasn't. She picked up on how often Beck's eyes would flicker towards Tori. How much time they spent together lately. Or how much she'd initiate physical contact, it was obvious they liked each other. She didn't know how she felt about that. Should she be angry at the fact that he wanted to move on from her? Or upset about the fact she was the one standing in their way? Should she be the bigger person and just let them be happy together?

She never noticed when Andre had sat by her as she watched Beck bury Tori in the sand.

"How's my favorite dark girl?" Andre greeted taking a water bottle from the cooler filled with ice. Jade crossed her arms and shook her head.

"I don't get it." she said.

"Well, because you wear dark clothing and you're-"

"No, I'm talking about Beck. He used to take me here, we would be playing in the sand." she admitted watching the view of them. Andre laughed and raised an eyebrow at her.

"You used to play in the sand?" he asked her incuriously not able to picture Jade West making sand castles and what not. To her dismay she laughed picturing it too.

"Okay, so I used to kick little kids sand castles over." she shrugged. They shared a laugh before he turned serious.

"Jade, do you still like Beck?" he asked. The question caught her by surprise and he saw her flinch by it.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to-"

"You didn't." she said before laughing softly to herself.

"You're brave, I'll give you that." she joked, everyone knew that was a touchy subject for her. Not much wasn't, but mostly their breakup.

"Don't push." she protested as he patted more grains of sand on her bare stomach; she chose the pink feather print two piece.

"I'm not pushing." he exclaimed pouring more sand on her. She was buried waist deep in the sand with nothing but her upper body exposed. She tried to find something, anything, to distract herself from the tingling sensation his touch was sending on her skin. A pelican flying around, dropping a fish before swooping to pick it up. Cat's squeals as the tide washed up on her feet. Nothing managed to work however, she was too aware of the feeling. Then she settled her gaze on him, his eyebrows furrowed in concentration, but a small smirk evident on his features. She distracted herself by innocently studying him, taking in his appearance. His hair slightly stuck to his forehead as the unforgiving summer sun beat down on him. The sun complimenting his olive skin tone as the sweat accentuated his muscles. She gulped as things quickly turned tainted, she was checking him out. He glanced up feeling her eyes on him, and smirked as she continued to stare.

"See something you like?" he joked. Her drifting eyes snapped back up to meet his. Heat rushed to her cheeks quickly and that really caused him to grin and wink at her confused and embarrassed expression. It was really adorable. He wasn't used to seeing the outspoken Tori Vega blush, and it really stroked his ego to know it was him that caused that. She swatted at him but unsuccessfully since she laid flat on her back and didn't want to sit up.

The sun began to turn a beautiful orange as the day was coming to a close. Tori watched in awe from her spot on Beck's truck hood. It was the most beautiful sunset she had ever seen; not even Hollywood could compare to the sight of the sun changing the hue of the large body of water. Beck watched in amazement too, it was a sight he hadn't seen in years. He would watch her from his peripheral vision as she stared out. A dazzled look on her face, her eyes shining bright from amusement and wonder as the sun made her already perfect tan glow. Without thinking he grabbed her hand that was between them. To his utter amazement she didn't pull away. She smiled and laced their fingers together.
