"So," Cat started, sitting down in the chair next to her best friend. "Have you came up with a song to sing at the Full Moon Jam?"
                          
Jade leaned back in her seat, crossing her legs as she looked at Cat. "Yeah, I have. And I actually like it."
                          
"Yay! Did you write it?"
                          
"I did."
                          
"Cool!" Cat giggled softly. "I heard Beck is back at school today."
                          
Jade nodded, picking at her nails. "Mhm."
                          
Before Cat could say anything more, Beck walked into the classroom, which was Sikowitz's.
                          
Tori, Andre, and Robbie all trailed in behind him, sitting in the front together, while Beck sat in the chair on the left side of Jade, but not before scooting it away from her a little.
                          
Which made Jade roll her eyes.
                          
"Okay!" Sikowitz's exclaimed, startling everyone as he hopped in through the window beside the stage. "Acting time! Tori, Andre, Cat, Beck, Jade! Up on the stage!"
                          
The five of them stood up and walked to the stage, waiting to hear what scene Sikowitz would tell them to perform.
                          
"Alright!" The man took a sip of his coconut that he had in his hand. "Tori, you are a private investigator for a crime that Andre committed, who is the son of Beck and Jade. Cat, you are the young woman that Andre has killed. Beck and Jade, you two are obviously husband and wife, and Andre is your son. Now, action!"
                          
Tori immediately got into character, turning to face Andre and his "parents." 
                          
"Excuse me, but may I take a look at the inside of your basement?" Tori asked Beck and Jade. "I have been informed that your son has committed a murder."
                          
Jade raised an eyebrow, also getting in character. "I'm sorry, but I can assure you that our son is not a murderer. You have the wrong boy."
                          
"I can promise you that I have the right person, Mrs," Tori replied. "Now, please step aside so I can take a look around."
                          
Beck placed his arm around Jade's shoulders, causing her to shiver under his touch. "My wife is telling the truth. Our son has not done anything wrong."
                          
Tori sighed. "I'm sorry, but if you could just please leave it to me to investigate. If you are being truthful, then there should be no problem with me taking a look."
                          
Beck and Jade shared a look, then stepped aside.
                          
Andre stood there, hovering over Cat's "lifeless" body, and Tori gasped in mock-surprise.
                          
"You are under arrest for the murder of Courtney Grayson," Tori announced, coming up with the random name at the last minute.
                          
Andre frowned. "Aw man."
                          
"And scene!" Sikowitz exclaimed, clasping his hands together. "Excellent! You five may go take your seats."
                          
They all headed back to their seats, and Beck walked back with Jade, his hand subconsciously brushing against hers.
