Tori&Jades Play date

I reached my hand in the hat full of parts for the play. I wanted a lead, which was no lie.

"Nancy, loving wife of astronaut Walter Swayne." I read off the paper. I was the first person to select my role. I guess it was important. Sikowitz ran over to Tori.

"Carter, 10 year old twin of Tommy," Tori read.

"Tommy, 10 year old twin of Carter," Andre read next. Soon enough, everyone had picked until only Beck was left. No one had been given Walter yet. Maybe there was no Walter?

"Astronaut Walter, loving husband of Nancy Swayne," Beck read. I groaned loudly causing a glare from Beck and murmurs to erupt throughout the class.

"Sikowitz can I switch parts?" I asked.

"No. You get what you get," Sikowitz pouted.

"I'd rather be related to Tori," I said, crossing my arms.

"Such love filled words," Tori muttered.

"No. You get what you get and that's final," Sikowitz said. I looked over to Beck who was looking at me. We were both certainly thinking the same thing: There's no way this will be good.

After school we went for the first rehearsal.

"I love you Walter," I said in a monotone voice.

"I love you too," Beck said, almost sarcastically.

"Cut!" Sikowitz screamed. I threw my script down and glared at him.

"Tori, Andre, take 5. Beck and Jade. This is the worst acting of a married couple I've ever seen in my life and you're screwing up the play," Sikowitz said.

"It's not my fault Beck's a bad actor!" I spat, but everyone knew that wasn't true. Beck came to Hollywood Arts specifically for acting. Sikowitz groaned and spoke in a lower voice.

"I know you guys aren't on great terms, but you need to play a married couple. Meet me tonight and Nozu. 8 o'clock. If you don't show up you will fail the semester," Sikowitz said, getting up.

"I don't want to go to Nozu with you!" I screamed at both Beck and Sikowitz.

"Too bad!"

I groaned and looked at Beck, before rolling my eyes at his calm expression and walking away. I caught him smile out of the corner of my eye.

Smile.

I walked into Nozu looking my best. I had applied makeup and wasn't going to look bad and give Beck good reasons for him breaking up with me.

"Ah, Jade! You're here," Sikowitz motioned. Beck was already sitting beside him, "We thought you weren't coming!"

"Well I'm here," I muttered.

"I see. Well, I'll be on my way. You and Beck are going to stay here until midnight on a date. You will learn how to play a married couple. Buh bye!" Sikowitz said quickly.

"I'm leaving, he won't know," I muttered, but I saw Sinjin walk up and shake his head.

Spies. Fucking Spy's.

I groaned and sat next to Beck.

"I don't want to be here," I said.

Beck shrugged.

"What are you? Beckbot. Talk. At least give me something to insult," I said.

"Uh…what do you think of your character?" Beck asked.

"Awful because she's married to yours," I muttered.

"Ok..." Beck whispered.

We ordered some sushi and I stuffed it in my mouth the second I got it to prevent from the awkward silence.

"Why can't we be friends?" Beck asked.

I sighed. It was only a matter of time before he asked that.

"You dumped me," I muttered, even though it wasn't a real answer.

"So we can't be friends?"

"Nope."

"Why?"

I looked up at Beck who was staring at me with those innocent and curious brown eyes.

"Because-" I started, but nearly spit my sushi out when someone crashed into me. I whirled around to see a somewhat cute-but-dorky guy grinning at me.

"Hey hottie. How's your sushi?" he grinned, leaning a shoulder on me. Definitely dorky. And obnoxious.

I shrugged him off. "Leave."

"Aw, baby. It sounds like you have the Chad infection. But don't worry, I'm a doctor," The guy said. I felt Beck tense up beside me.

"I'll give you an infection," I muttered.

"So are you ticklish?" he asked.

"No." I deadpanned. Beck stifled a laugh. He knew I was deathly ticklish in my stomach.

"Doodldoodledo, doodladoodledo," the guy cooed, ticklish under my chin. I took in a deep breath and took a sip of my soda, but when he kept doing it, I elbowed him in the groin.

"Babe don't be like that!" the guy groaned, getting up.

"I can hurt you more." I muttered.

"So you want my number?" he asked.

"No."

"You want a lil something to remember me by?" he asked.

"N-"But he had already pressed his lips to mine. I kicked his stomach and he flew off me and into the wall.

"Jerk," I muttered when the guy slowly limped away.

I turned to Beck who had a smirk on his face.

"You're a bigger jerk though."

"How?"

"You dumped me like one."

"You dumped me!"

"I did not! You could've opened the door!" I screamed, but blushed when I realized my wild hand gestures. I set them in my lap.

"Jade. Why can't we be friends?" Beck asked slowly.

"I don't want to."

Beck sighed. "We're going to fail this play if we don't bond."

"It's hard to bond with your jerk of an ex-boyfriend."

"It's also hard to bond with a stubborn ex-girlfriend."

"I've always been stubborn, ex-girlfriend or not," I spat. "But you've just started being a jerk."

"How?"

"You act like you don't notice when you drive by my house with a car load of girls, like you're trying to make me jealous. Or when you have no problem stage kissing any girl you do a scene with. But I've talked to Cat and Tori, and you only do it when I'm there."

"Maybe I'm trying to make you jealous."

"That's why you're a jerk then," I finalized.

Beck rubbed his forehead. "I just want to repair our relationship. Just because we're not dating doesn't mean I don't love you," Beck said. "Why can't we be friends?"

"Because I can't look at you without remembering what we used to have!" I blurted, and immediately blushed and turned away from him.

"What?" Beck said shocked.

"I never wanted to break up! You happy!" I muttered.

Beck looked down at his sushi. "No."

I rolled my eyes. "Right. You're not going to be happy until I'm as friendly as Vega."

"No."

"Then what?"

"I'm not happy because I never wanted to break up either."

I stared at my food and bit my lip.

"Then what are we doing?" I asked. Beck shrugged.

"Being stupid."

"Yeah."

"I love you Walter," I said, caressing Beck's cheek.

"I love you too Nancy," Beck said. I smiled as he leaned down for the big ending kiss. His lips were on mine and sparks flew like they used to. The curtain went down and Beck reluctantly pulled away.

"See! All you two needed was a little bonding time! You can be friends," Sikowitz grinned.

Cat walked by, she was helping with lighting. She looked at me and Beck.

"You guys are going out again!" She squealed.

"Shhh!" Beck motioned, putting his hands to his lips.

Cat giggled and ran off and I wrapped my arms tightly around Beck's waist.

"I love you Beck."

"I love you too Jade."
