"Whoa, this thing is huge." Cat says as she watches the massive party bus pull up in front of her."
"Wait til you see the inside." Robbie says as he takes Cat's hand and pulls her towards the door of the bus.
The bus driver opens the door to let the two of them in and Cat takes the chance to introduce herself.
"Hello, I'm Cat." She says as she extends her hand to the bus driver.
"Dave." The bus driver says as he shakes her hand.
"I guess we should get to know each other since we'll be together for the next four hours."
"Sounds good to me, so when does the rest of your party arrive?"
"They should be here any minute." Robbie says. "There's only six of us, so it shouldn't take too long to load up."
"Only six?" Dave says confused. "You know this bus seats fifty people."
"Yeah, but all of our friends are kinda used to fancy things... We wanted to get them a nice big bus so that they could all be comfortable." Cat says as she and Robbie walk onto the bus.
"Here's the television, the bar, the bathroom..." Robbie begins as he shows her around the bus.
"A stripper pole!" Cat gasps in disbelief.
"What?" Robbie says as he walks towards the pole.
"Robert, could you be any less classy."
"It'll be fun, everyone will love it."
"If you say so." She says as she plops down on the leather seat, looks out the window, and notices a limo pull up. She jumps up an squeals with delight.
"Someone's here!" She says running off the bus with Robbie following behind. Cat watches the limo driver get out, walk around and open the door. Anxiously, she jumps up and down waiting to see who gets out of the first limousine.
"Beeeeeck!" Cat screams when she sees Beck step out of the car.
Cat runs to Beck as he stands with his arms open, ready to greet her. When Cat gets to him she jumps into his arms and hugs him tightly around the neck as he lifts her up and swings her around.
"Oh my gosh...it's so good to see you."
"It's good to see you too!" Beck says as he gives Cat a kiss on the cheek."
"Hey, man... are you trying to put the moves on my girl!" Robbie playfully shouts as he approaches Beck.
"I would never do that to you man." Beck says as he an Robbie give each other a handshake and then a hug. "So you two are married now.. that's wild."
"Yep, happily married for two years now.!" Robbie says as he puts his arm around Cat's waist.
"That's great. I'm still upset I missed the wedding. I really tried to get them to let me come."
"It's okay. You're here now." Cat says.
The three of them continue to talk and catch up until another limousine pulls up. They all stand and wait to see who gets out.
"Stop standing there people, and come give me a hug." A voice yells from inside the limo.
"Yo Andre!" Beck yells as he, Robbie and Cat approach him.
"And I'm not alone, I have the lovely Miss Vega with me." Andre says as Tori steps out of the car.
"Heyyyy!" Cat squeals as she gives Tori a big hug.
"Hey Cat! Oh my, Robbie.. look at you. You look great." Tori says as she breaks from Cat and gives Robbie a hug. Where's Jade?" She asks as she looks around.
"She hasn't gotten here yet. We were expecting her first, but her flight was delayed."
"Here, I'll help you with your bags." Beck says as he grabs Tori's bags.
Robbie, Andre and Cat stay at the car and talk while Beck and Tori take her bags to the bus.
"So, how have you been." Beck says as he helps the bus driver load Tori's bags into the bus.
"I've been alright. Not as good as you though Mr. movie star! "
"Cut it out."
"It's good to see you, you look good." Tori says as she rubs Beck's arm.
"You look good too." He replies.
"Why don't we wait inside the bus, its kinda hot out here." Cat says as she shoos everyone to the bus.
They wait inside the bus and talk for about twenty minutes when Beck, growing tired of waiting, lays his head on the back of his seat and closes his eyes. After a few minutes he opens his eyes and looks out the window when he notices a limo pulling up. He watches intensely as he waits to catch a glimpse of the woman that he once loved. He sits up and stares out the window and sees Jade as she exits the limousine. All he can focus on is the long stream of black hair no longer streaked in different colors. Her pale skin paired with black clothing was something that always turned him on, it was just something sexy about it to him. And her walk, the sexiest most feminine walk he's ever seen. The only thing left to see were those big blue eyes.
"Is she out there?" Beck can faintly hear but it too distracted to respond.
"Beck!" Tori says as she slaps him on the leg. Are you alright?"
"Huh, oh... yeah I'm fine. Jade's here." He says looking back out the window.
"Oh yay!" Cat says as she jumps up and runs off the bus.
Beck watches as Cats runs up to Jade and jumps on her and wraps her legs around her. The two embrace for awhile until Jade gives Cat a playful pat on the behind and Cat jumps down. By then everyone is off the bus except for Beck, who is still watching Jade, just waiting to get a glimpse of those eyes he once loved to stare in. Unfortunately for him, Jade was wearing a dark pair of sunglasses and it didn't seem like she was getting ready to take them off anytime soon.
"Are you getting off?" Tori asks Beck peeping her head in the doorway of the bus.
"Yeah, here I come." Beck says as he slowly makes his way to the front of the bus. He could feel butterflies in his stomach, something he hadn't felt in a long time, but he tries to shake it off before he gets off the bus. Just as he is about to step off the last step, he looks up and realizes he is face to face with Jade.
"Hey, you." Jade says as she carefully slides her sunglasses from her face to her hair.
"Hey." Beck says softly unable to take his eyes off of hers. It was what he had been waiting for, just a glimpse of those beautiful eyes and he felt the butterflies start up again.
"So are you gonna just stand there, or are you going to give me a hug?" Jade says as she cracks a smile.
"Oh, of course." Beck laughs and reaches out to Jade for a hug.
This was a familiar feeling, a feeling Beck has missed. A feeling Jade has missed, but the two don't speak of it as their hug lingers on. As they finally pull away from each other, they can't help but to look each other in the eyes. Jade's beautiful blue eyes and Beck's deep brown eyes each has the other mesmerized.
"Hey Jade, can I talk to you for a minute?" Tori asks as she taps Jade on the shoulder.
"What?" Jade says snapping out of her trance and turning around to see who just tapped her.
"Can we talk alone for a minute." Tori says with a serious tone in her voice.
"Yeah, sure." Jade says as she walks away and follows Tori.
Beck runs his hand through his hair and watches Tori and Jade walk away with a smile on his face.
"Beck looks great, doesn't he?" Tori asks Jade once they are alone.
"Yeah, he does." Jade responds. "Is that what you wanted?"
"No, um... I don't really know how to say this. I don't want any bad blood between the two of us." Tori starts to ramble.
Jade crosses her arms over her chest and scrunches up her face, waiting for Tori to say whatever it is she was going to say. Tori looks back and sees the guys all helping Dave load Jade's luggage onto the bus and she takes Jade by the arm and pulls her to the other side of the bus.
"If its okay with you, I think I might want to...um... hook up with Beck." Tori says timidly.
"Ohhh, okay. Look Tori. Beck and I broke up a long time ago. Four years ago. If you want to try to get together with him, go ahead."
"Are you sure? If you don't want me to, I won't. I don't want there to be any bad blood between us, or any kind of awkwardness."
"Nope, go for it." Jade says.
"Okay, thanks." Tori says giving Jade a huge hug.
"You don't have to thank me, I don't own Beck. We're all adults now. We can behave like adults."
"Yeah, I guess you're right." Tori says as she walks back to the other side of the bus.
Jade watches Tori as she walks away. "I always knew she wanted him." She says to herself as she rolls her eyes and slowly walks back to be with the others.
