I don't own Cat or Jade
I don't own Hollywood Arts
I don't own Victirous
I DO own Willow
Cat came up to Jade almost breathless.
"Hey Jade, can we talk?"
"Sure"
"By talk I mean have a conversation. It's like I say something and then you say something and then I say something and then-"
"Cat?"
"Yeah
"I know what talk means."
"Oh… right," she giggled.
Cat was a giggler. Jade was too, although she would NEVER admit it.
"So here's the thing-"
"What are you, Tori's Uncle Adrian? Just say what you have to say."
"Okay so like I ran into um... Beck in the hallway and he happened to mentioned that you guys were talking about like um... who gets Willow if anything happens to you"
"Yeah," Jade said knowing that Cat would get to her point at some point.
Cat closed her eyes.
"So anyway," Cat said, "I have a personality"
"Congratulations?"
"So you agree," Cat asked excitedly.
"That you have a personality? Yes I agree that you have a personality," Jade said chuckling.
"Yay!"
"So keep talking," Jade said
"I also have red hair," Cat continued.
Jade stared at Cat.
"Um... Cat," Jade said, "I can see that"
"Oh right," Cat laughed, "I'm also really fun."
"Great
"I'm smart too. I know it's hard for people to see but I am smart"
"Cat?"
"Yeah?"
"I've known that for years"
"REALLY?"
"Yeah. I've know that since I met you"
"I'm also full of love," Cat said
"Oh THAT I know"
"And I listen. I may or may not agree with what someone says or how they do things but I listen and respect them"
"Yes I know," Jade said
"So, I think I would be perfect"
"Whoa there girl," Jade said
"I figured," Cat replied.
"Figured what," Jade asked, "You're not making any sense"
"I was hoping maybe you might pick me."
"Let's add some detail into your statement," Jade said patiently
"Okay," Cat said, "I was kind of hoping you'd pick me to take care of Willow in case anything happened to you guys."
Jade rubbed the back of her neck.
"First of all," she said, "What does you having red hair have to do with you taking care of Willow?"
"I thought I'd accentuate my positive traits"
Jade didn't point out that red hair was a neutral trait.
"I think," Jade said, "You would be a great choice. But I have one concern."
Cat looked a little blue
"You've never been alone with Willow before," Jade continued
"Well that's true but I still know how to take care of her"
"Yes I know. You're great with her and she loves you. It's still not the same thing as being her mother."
"I understand-"
"Great. Beck and I want to go out tonight. Can you baby-sit for Willow?"
"Yay," Cat said, "I love babysitting"
