A/N: From an original idea by Invader Johnny. This is without doubt the strangest fic I have ever written.
I originally envisioned it to be a big one-shot but it would probably work best as like a mini-series (about 10 chapters or less). The action is meant to take place in a very short length of time.
Read and review, please!
Curious as to how you're gonna like this one. Let me know because I have always preferred dramas, so this is my first real attempt to knock out a genuine comedy.
;-)
Jade was sitting across from the most beautiful girl in the world as far as she was concerned. Tori Vega was that rare breed that emitted gorgeousness from within to match her outer good looks. She was sweet, compassionate, patient as well as smoking hot. Jade felt she won the lottery with this one.
But, nothing is free as they say.
Date Tori Vega, and inherit her older sister Trina. Jade has been up against some ganks and grunches in her life but hardly any were as abrasive as Trina. She is loud, obnoxious, intrusive, inappropriate and to this day she confounds people as to how she was admitted to Hollywood Arts in the first place.
While Jade was enjoying the good company sitting before her, it was difficult to enjoy with the disaster going on on her left. Trina pleaded with Tori to have them all go on a double date. There was this cute guy Trina was interested in from Northridge and he only conceded when it was established they were going out as a group.
Suffice to say, Jade was no where near pleased with the new arrangement.
It wasn't about being pissed about their night being butted into, but this night out was going to be very, very special. Jade had an old costume ring she held on as one of her few keepsakes for years, ever since she was a little girl. Her grandmother told her she got it from Doris Day. She wanted to give it to Tori and have it be the symbol of their first year anniversary. It was supposed to be just the two of them.
Jade put on her best face and was readying herself to make the big (to her) reveal when Little Miss "She-cago" herself ambled between their faces.
"Tori!" she shout-whispered.
"What do you want?" Jade hissed.
Tori waved her hand "It's okay, Jade." She turned to Trina. "What's up?"
"Do you think it's going well?" she asked her younger sister.
A strand of jet black hair was tossed when Jade puffed in frustration. She sat there with her arms folded, waiting for the yammering to cease until one thing she said made her blood boil.
"Maybe you could ask Andre or Beck to pretend to be your date, so he wouldn't be surrounded by too many pretty girls," Trina nodded. "No offense, Jade but you're throwing off my mojo here."
Jade stood up, shaking the table violently. "You," she pointed at Trina. "Bathroom. Now." She marched away from the table and Trina followed, knowing that if she didn't, the goth would've just dragged her.
"Where do you come off?" Jade shouted at Trina, backing her into the bright white wall.
"What?" Trina asked.
Jade was genuinely surprised by Trina's genuine surprise.
"In case you're completely in the dark, I was on a date with my girlfriend..."
"Who happens to be my sister and she agreed to this double date." Trina point into Jade's shoulder for emphasis.
Jade violently pushed aside Trina's arm. She fingers the ring in her pocket, trying to calm herself down. "Why did it have to be tonight? Why?"
"What is the big deal?" Trina pressed.
"It's just..."
A clacking sound on the floor stops the conversation dead. The two girls look down and shining in the flourescent light was the ring Jade was going to give Tori.
"What's this?" Trina asked, bending down to pick it up before Jade could stop her. "A ring," she mused. Trina then looked at Jade. "What is this?"
"Nothing," Jade said through grinding teeth. "Now give it back."
Neither of them paid much attention to the faint sound of the swinging door opening.
"Hold on," Trina held her closed hand back from Jade's grasp. She narrowed her eyes and grinned. "Were you...were you going to give this to Tori?"
"None of your business," Jade bit back folding her arms.
They both turned and there stood Tori, smiling awkwardly.
Tori pointed to the ring, "Is that for me?"
Jade shot Trina a look of absolute death. But she bit her lip and looked at Tori, while snatching the ring from Trina.
"I was...going to give this to you tonight but...I was waiting for..."
Jade let out a yell and dropped the ring onto the floor.
Jade was sitting outside the restaurant when Trina came out behind her.
"Hey, what was that all about?" Trina asked.
Jade stood up and got in her face. "You ruined everything, Trina! I FUCKING HATE YOU!"
She marched past Trina and stormed back inside.
"Okay," a tuxedo-wearing man announced on stage. "My name is Renaldo Svenning, master of mind-reading and hypnosis."
There was scattered laughter and scoffs as Jade walked past the crowd, finding her way back to their table.
"Now," Renaldo continued. "I would need some volunteers to demonstrate my skills. How about a little hypnotism? That always seems to get the crowd relaxed. Have a little fun, eh?"
Jade didn't pay the obnoxious performer any mind. She was more stressed whether Tori was still here. She was relieved when she saw her sitting at the table, looking around.
"Jade," Tori called out worried.
She sat down and took her hands. "I'm so sorry I ran off, Tori. I was just...upset."
"I understand," Tori said showing the ring on her hand. "I love it; it's beautiful. Where's Trina?"
"Oh. My. God." Jade's jaw dropped.
Trina was on the stage with Renaldo. "So, tell me young lady. Tell the nice people your name."
"Trina Vega," she beamed.
"Always the attention whore," Jade murmured to herself.
"Well, Trina Vega" Renaldo smiled. "You are about to undergo a transformation and you won't be able to get out of it."
"We'll see," Trina told the audience. They laughed at her doubts.
"It's a common misconception," Renaldo began. "That intelligence hinders the ability to be placed under hypnosis."
So she must be safe, Jade thought to herself.
"Now look at me and focus on this silver pendant," he instructed to Trina. She sighed and begun tracking the swinging necklace with her eyes. "Remember," he said. "Don't move your head."
Tori was watching with interest but Jade was rather bored with the whole charade.
Renaldo held Trina's head, looking into her eyes. "Now, when I snap my fingers you will become an obedient dog."
The showman snapped and Trina stood with her eyes wide open.
"Now...sit"
Trina went down on all fours and looked around nervously at the crowd.
"I want you to find your master. Lock eyes with someone in this audience and that person will be your owner You are to love and protect them."
Trina scanned the room and suddenly stopped when Renaldo clapped his hands.
"There," he said. "If this person snaps their fingers, you will become a faithful dog. Now, I will bring you out of the trance and return you to your human state."
Renaldo snapped his fingers and Trina blinked. Her face was wrought with confusion as she brought herself to her feet.
"What just happened," she asked. The audience laughed hard. Trina raised her eyebrow. "Why are they laughing?" she asked Renaldo.
"Oh, nothing" he scoffed. "I tried to hypnotize you and it didn't work."
"Well I told you," Trina smugly put her hands on her hips. She whipped her head around at the giggling observers.
"That's fine," Renaldo patted Trina on the back. "You were a real good sport. You can step down now." He waved as Trina left the stage. "Good girl." Yuks and murmers permeated through the crowd.
Tori looked at Jade who was playing with the ice in her drink.
"Wasn't that amazing?" she asked.
"What?" Jade looked up.
"Jade," Tori admonished her. "Did you see Trina up there?"
"Trina on a stage and the sound of people laughing. Used to it."
"Jade," Tori trying to supress a chuckle. "Hey, welcome back."
Jade looked up and saw Trina reluctantly sit back down.
"Hey, Tori" Trina said, not paying Jade any regard. "You ready to go?" she asked.
Tori checked the time on her phone and shrugged.
"Guess it is getting late. You ready to go, Jade?"
Jade sighed. "Yeah, sure. I guess."
Jade stopped the car in front of the Vega residence.
She looked at Tori. "I'll call you tomorrow."
"Okay, babe" Tori responded and leaned in to give her a loving peck.
Trina rolled her eyes in the back seat. "Alright, that's enough."
Tori got out of the car and as soon as her door shut, Jade pointed to Trina in the back.
"Listen well, you get between me and Tori again and I will jack you up...like that" Jade snapped her fingers on those last two words.
Suddenly, a jolt went through Trina and she sat stoic in her seat.
"Well, Vega?" Jade asked the older sister. "The fuck you waiting for?"
Trina then started sniffing Jade in a furious fashion.
"Okay," she sighed. "Just what the hell are you doing? You like me perfume that much? Keep acting like that, you'll be sending more guys away like that Northridge dick."
Trina made a whimpering sound and gave Jade an enthusiastic look.
"What is going on with you?" she asked.
Trina didn't answer but instead started gnawing on the seatbelt.
"Hey," Jade shouted, raising her hand. "Stop that!" But she recoiled when Trina growled when the hand got too close to her mouth.
Jade tapped the steering wheel, puzzled.
"What the flying fuck is going on right now?"
