Caitlin x Jen

Caitlin x Jen is the femslash ship between Caitlin Cooke and Jen Masterson from the 6teen fandom.

Canon
Jen was the first person to become close to Caitlin as soon as she joined the original 6teen gang. While everyone in the group used to make fun of Caitlin for being a "rich spoiled kid", Jen actually took the time to get to know her at first. The first time they met, Jen was very dissatisfied with her job at the lemonade stand, so she was looking for someone to replace her. And right then, she saw Caitlin crying because she got her credit card cut. Instead of mocking her, Jen offered her a tissue and listened to her.

However, since Caitlin needed a job, when she joined Jen in the lemonade stand, Jen started getting annoyed at her because she didn't work, overworking her instead. Completely frustrated with the situation, Jen tells her how mad at Caitlin she is. And this, Jen's soon-to-be-boss comes and reprimands her for not being working, telling Jen how disappointed he is in her. Caitlin steps forward and says "Jen is the most patient person I've ever met. I've been screwing up royally all day and she's been nothing but nice to me. [...] Jen's right, I am irresponsible, but she's helping me become more like her. You'd be lucky to have her."

After this, the two of them get really close. They develop a very strong bond, and become very loyal to each other, being there for each other when one feels low. Whether it be big moments like them playing a crime show duo in “The List” or Jen helping Caitlin through a break-up and letting her cry into her chest in “Waiting to Ex-Sale”. Or simple small moments like Jen telling Caitlin she's “beautiful and perfect” the way she is in “Whoa, Baby!”, or holding hands while squealing all the time.

Fanon
Caitlin x Jen is a rare ship in the 6teen fandom. Since fans of the show ship the two characters with other friends of the group, like Wyatt or Nikki, this ship is often overshadowed. However, the fans of this ship are very passionate and appreciate the dynamic these two share. Fans love how despite how contrasting the two are in some aspects (like Caitlin being a "girly girl" who lives day by day, and Jen being more of a "tomboy" who is very orderly and work-focused), love how much they also have in common, creating this deep bond they have. Fans of the ship also mention how if there were to be a reboot of 6teen, the romantic couple who would make the most sense would be between Caitlin and Jen.
