~~~As Time Goes By~~~

Everyone continued on in Hollywood Arts and graduated. Tori and Jade graduated at the top of the class together as co-valedictorians. Beck, Andre, Robbie, and Cat all finished in the top ten. The top ten did a performance at the commencement exercises and blew the audience away, signifying they were starting out at their new life.

Tori went to Julliard on a full scholarship in music. It was there where she ran into Andre who was there on a full scholarship in classical music. Some sparks flew and they were wed in their junior year.

Jade and Beck decided to go to Brown University together. Jade had to drop out when she became pregnant with Beck's baby. She gave birth to a daughter named Cecily, nicknamed "Cily". Beck asked Jade to marry him but she turned him down. Soon, she left and took Cily with her. It was a harrowing experience for Beck because he loved Jade and Cily. But then, something else happened. Jade showed back up and left Cily with him. She told him that Cily was his.

Cat and Robbie remained the closest of friends. They opened up a kids' center together where troubled kids could go and learn things like ventriloquism. Robbie finally said goodbye to Rex after his 25th birthday, knowing it was time. Cat supported him through it. She also stood up for him when he married Jackie Davis, one of the teachers at the center.

~~~OOO~~~

Tori was so happy for all of her friends that they were working out well in their lives. But, it wasn't so perfect in her and Andre's life. They had had a son named Andrew. Tori's life was put on hold so she could care for their son but Andre kept going with his career. Finally, it was too much. Tori threw Andre out. He wasn't there for her at all. He didn't care anymore. Neither did she.

It happened early one morning. Tori was taking a now five year old Andrew for a walk in the park when a tall, dark haired man caught her eye. This man had a a little girl with him that had the same skin tone and dark hair. She had a feeling that when they turned around, they would have the same eyes as well.

"Beck?"

~~~ooo~~~

Please don't hate me for making Jade and Andre evil. It is the only way to lead up to this Tori/Beck fic.
