Robbie watched in horror as Jade tripped and launched her punch all over his dates dress. He hurried over to the scene.

"What's happened?" he asked urgently.

"It's OK, just an accident" said his date. "But I have to go clean up." And with that, she marched off in the direction of the bathrooms.

"Yeah, sorry" Jade called after her. But Robbie had a feeling that something was up.

"What was that?" he asked angrily, rounding on Jade, "What, it's not enough for me to have just ONE moment of happiness? Must you sabotage my every chance at-"

"Oh, pipe down, puppet-boy. That wasn't about you. I just tripped" she said, rolling her eyes. But Robbie wasn't convinced. "Anyway, while I've got you here, can you go check on Cat? Vega and Andre took off somewhere and she's on her own, looking all upset"

"Cat's upset?" Robbie asked, looking confused. Why was Cat upset? That made no sense.

"Look, your date will be in there for a while, just go check on her. I have to get back to Beck." And with that she took off. Robbie walked through the throng of dancer's on the dance floor, until he spotted Cat sat on her own on a table. Robbie noted how, even though she looked sad right now, she was still the most beautiful girl he had ever seen. How did she do that?

"Hey, cutie, what's up?" asked Robbie, smiling at her. He pulled out the chair opposite her, and sat down across the table.

"Do you really think that?" she asked, looking up at him with those big brown eyes that made him lose focus.

"What?"

"That I'm cute" she explained.

"Oh, well sure I do" he said gently. He pulled his chair out and moved it so that he was just opposite her. She kept her face down, so it was difficult to see her expression.

"Well then, why are you here with another girl?" she demanded, looking up at him accusingly.

"What? Cat, I wanted to go with you first, remember? But you didn't want to go with me." What was going on? Was she upset that Robbie had a date? And if so, why was that?

"I know" she said, "But that was before you came up to me and said all those really sweet things."

"So...are you saying that you...like me now?" Robbie said in disbelief. No way. Cat's rejection had been a wake-up call. A girl as perfect as her would never go for a nerdy guy like him.

"Maybe" she said, unable to meet his eyes, "Do you still like me?"

This was it. His one answer now would decide the fate of their entire relationship. But was there any point? What if he said yes? Sure, maybe they would have a few good months, but eventually some other guy, with big muscles and no nerdy glasses would turn her head, and that would be that. Robbie didn't think he could handle that...But what if it didn't happen that way? What if he got everything he ever wanted since the first time he'd seen that gorgeous face? What if, by some senseless twist of fate, Cat had decided that Robbie was the one for her? Was it worth the risk? He looked at Cat. At her big brown eyes that were so easy to get lost in. At her face so often filled with the brightest smile he had ever seen. At her lips-the lips he had dreamed about kissing for years now. The lips from which the wonderful sound he had ever heard came from. He couldn't imagine a more angelic sound than Cat's singing. In fact, he was sure that angels themselves would lay down their instruments to listen to her.

And that was it. Of course it was worth the risk. She was worth everything.

"Of course I do" smiled Robbie, "I never stopped. You are...the most beautiful girl in the world to me. You're kind and sweet, and you have such an amazing personality. There's no one else like you in this world, Cat. You're one of kind. You're special. And I know that I'd kick myself forever if...I didn't give us a chance." By the time he was finished, Cat eyes were shining with tears.

"Oh, Robbie" she exclaimed, and she grabbed his shoulders and pulled him in close. She pressed her lips to his enthusiastically, and Robbie kissed her back. It was a kiss better than he could have ever hoped for, better than the sweetest he had ever dreamt. When both of them broke apart they laughed together, totally in disbelief that the other was now theirs.

"Yeah" Andre nodded, watching from a distance.

"Looks like a job well done" said Beck, putting out his cup to Andre. Andre touched it with his own cup.

"Please. None of this would have worked with you lame plan. This one's all me" smirked Jade.

"That's true. You just did something nice for two of our best friends, Jade. Well done" said Tori, grinning broadly at her. Jade's eyes widened as she realised the truth in Tori's words.

"See? I told you were always were a softie" teased Beck. And when Jade glared at him, he laughed, pulled her in close, and kissed her, "I love that about you" he said. She rolled her eyes, and settled in Beck's arms.
