jori songfic/music video idea

i was too lazy to write this into a full songfic but it's been sitting, collecting dust in my writing archives, so i figured i'd share

A description of a music video featuring the HA 6 Set to: "Firebird" by Galantis

Beck is driving his newly restored 1978 Pontiac Firebird. His dad had gotten it for him as a graduation present, and he’d been working on restoring it all summer. Now, with college looming over all their heads, and the hourglass of their shared time running lower than ever, the six friends enjoy a midnight joyride to the beach.

Top down, 4 are squished in the back seat, Beck and Robbie hold hands across the gearshift in the front 2 seats. Tori is in the middle between Jade and Andre, and Cat is laying across all their laps.

The ones in the back alternate standing on the seats/sitting up on the T-roof to dance in the wind and just have their arms up as they zoom down the PCH.

Andre and Tori yell karaoke into the wind. Tori and Jade nuzzle noses, until they eventually share a kiss, under the stars. Cat and Jade simply scream carefree like they haven’t since middle school.

It all started because Beck didn’t feel tired after the movie they all went to see together. Tori, Andre, and Cat carpooled because Jade was just getting off her shift and planning to give Tori a ride home (and probably sleep over). Andre and Jade left their cars at the theater parking lot, and everyone piled into Beck’s Firebird.

Now, Robbie is sitting up in the passenger seat, standing almost, as he raises both his linked and his free hands up to the wind, also yelling carefree. He presses a kiss to Beck’s knuckles with a smile.

Eventually, they make it to a beach, close to a beachside boarding school called PCA. Tori smiles wryly at her past life but doesn’t dwell on the memories. She’s pulled back into the moment by Jade who wraps her arms around Tori into a bear hug from behind. Jade rests her chin on Tori’s shoulder.

Cat and Robbie eventually get a roaring bonfire going on this quiet stretch of beach, and they’re off. Drinking, dancing, singing, being obnoxious little teens for one last night.

Montage of them laughing, getting into hijinks, maybe going for a small dip (just enough to wet their feet, maybe up to their knees).

End with dying embers crackling their last, and Beck announcing sleepily that he needs to get his old man boyfriend home (Robbie is passed out leaning on Beck’s shoulder.) Jade is similarly passed out, as is Cat. Tori, Andre, and Beck urge their partners to get up and head back to the car.

This time, Cat is curled onto Andre’s lap, and Jade is all but curled into Tori completely.

In a sleepy mumble, Jade says, “I love you, Tori.”

Tori strokes Jade’s hair and whispers back, “I love you too.”
