-Day 8-

Pine trees rustled as a nice breeze flowed through them. The waters were clear and blue while the fish in them swam happily near the center. That morning seemed like the start of a great day with clouds rolling in the far distance. For Tori Vega, however, it was perfect.

She shifted a bit in the back of Jade's car, and smiled to herself when she felt Jade's bare body against her own. The blanket covered them both as the sun blanketed over the, well, blanket. Coffee brown eyes opened and adjusted to the sunlight streaming through the windows. As she gazed around, the Latina admired the moment and closed her eyes to appreciate it more.

Jade's leg fell in between Tori's while an arm wrapped around the caramel waist; the other rested beside her head which lay on Tori's bare chest. The youngest Vega's hands started to stroke the long brunette hair with a strand or two of blue. Using her free hand, Tori fumbled around the pile of abandoned clothes and found her phone. Once the blue screen was on, she looked at the time and sighed, 10:15. Dropping the phone, her hand returned towards the blanket and started scratching Jade's back. After a few minutes, the goth stirred from the pleasure and her eyes opened to see Tori smiling warmly at her. "Good morning," the Latina mumbled.

Jade grinned toothily and captured Tori's lips in a nice, soft kiss. "I can get used to that," the youngest Vega smirked.

"Don't kid yourself," Jade chortled half-heartedly. Both took a few deep breaths and enjoyed the moment while birds chirped outside. "Can we kill those pigeons, their pissing me off." The Latina laughed silently, Jade smirking a bit before her face fell, "Seriously, I need quiet with coffee or coffee."

"That's all?" Tori asked quietly. Green eyes looked into brown once their owner shifted. "No," Jade whispered softly.

Caramel hands placed themselves on the goth's short, pale back. "What else do you need?" Tori breathed, her eyes shifting in between Jade's.

"You," the goth answered before kissing the Latina's lips again. Tori felt a familiar buzz start as Jade's leg pressed against her now sensitive spot. Both deepened the kiss, which had turned from gentle to lustful. Jade ran her hands down the Latina's side. She revealed in the feeling of Tori trembling beneath her, or how Tori moaned softly as Jade's tongue played with hers, or how Tori slightly bucked when she felt a hand glide over her vagina. "You still wet from last night?" Jade murmured.

The Latina only gave a throaty noise in reply once Jade had touched her sensitive nub. Her hips grinded against a pale leg as Jade worked her faster. She didn't understand how this girl who supposedly hated her from the moment she walked in could drive her this wild within mere moments. Maybe because you just had sex, I don't know, not that long ago? Tori's thoughts snapped as she writhed in pleasure. She nodded in agreement with her thoughts and bucked suddenly into Jade. "F-fuck Jade. I-I n-ne-need more," Tori whined, her back arching as she felt lips latching on her left nipple in response.

Once Jade had detached herself from the Latina's breast, she watched as the youngest West toss her head back, stretching out her neck. Greedily, green eyes flicked over and found a spot on Tori's neck, just below her left ear. Jade licked her lips as Tori trembled violently underneath her. She kissed the spot on her neck and felt a had dig into her lower back while the over was tangled in her long, chestnut hair. Tori squeeked a bit as Jade began to suck, and once she couldn't hold it in any longer, she nearly screamed, "J-Jade, don't stop, don-"

The Latina's orgasm hit her hard, having to ride waves of spasms while Jade trembled through her own pleasure, feeling nails digging into her back and hips bucking into her own. Both girls had settled down, Tori with her eyes closed as she tried to regain her breathes while Jade smirked and played with her hair.

"I can get used to that," Tori grinned, "Sorry about your back."

Jade chuckled mischievously, "Don't worry, I liked it." Then she added, "Sorry for the bruise on your neck," as she thumbed over the mark.

"What does it look like?"

"It's already purple."

Tori sighed and laughed, "At least it's not that noticeable. So Jade?"

"Hmm?"

"Do you want to start driving back to Los Angeles? Not that I want to leave you, but... It would be nice to see the rest over summer."

Jade nodded, "Whatever. But ah, we are going to stop at everything interesting on the way there."

"Okay," Tori giggled, pulling the goth into another kiss.

~Road to the Unknown~

"So, how are we going to get this car out of here?" Jade snarled an hour later. Both had put on clothes and Tori started the car to drive them out of their little situation.

"Uhh, there's the lake bed, we can drive along that."

"My car will get wet!" the goth snapped, "And you haven't even mentioned how you're going to fix my headlight and scratches!" The Latina sighed in defeat and drove through the small clearing that led down to the water. "So that's your plan? Dive along here and see if there is a road?"

"...Yep," Tori answered, popping the 'p'. With a low groan, Jade cursed her luck as the Latina led the car along the shore. After about a minute, the girls stopped in front a group of teens. "Do you think your car will fit between those trees?"

"Yeah," Jade concluded, wanting to leave the camp and get coffee. The left window was rolled down and the Latina waved one of the confused boys over. He smirked at the others and strode over, hand through his hair with his chest puffed out.

He leaned against the car and grinned, "Hey hot stuffs, want to join us? We can have fun later, if you know what I mean."

"No, we just-"

"You see," he cut off Tori, who cringed sourly, "I want you to show me that ass of yours while I-"

"WE KNOW WHAT THE FUCK YOU MEAN YOU ASS!" Jade bellowed before adding, "We just want to get through those trees over their so I can get coffee and eventually eat her out on a bed instead of the back of my car!" The Latina felt heat surge off of the girl beside her and blushed angrily at the outburst.

"So, can you show me what you did?" the boy smirked.

Before both the girls could answer, a blonde girl walked over, yelling, "KEVIN! What the hell are you doing?" The apparent Kevin raised his ands and walked off to the side, joining his buddies. "I'm so sorry about him, my friends and I were just here to celebrate a semester at law school and his friends joined us."

"It's fine," Tori said, raising her eye bows at the group of boys climbing in garbage bins a foot from the water.

"They are a bunch of idiots, I know," the blonde mumbled after glancing at them, earning a rather colorful agreement from Jade. "So, how did you get this car down here?"

"Yeah blondie, ask Vega here how she drove my car off a cliff, " the goth growled, causing the girl to giggle a bit.

"Never mind, I don't think I want to know...So what do you need, a crane?" All of the girls laughed a bit, even Jade gave a chuckle or two.

"Yeah, can we go and drive between those two trees over there?" Tori asked, gesturing towards the two tall pines.

The blonde nodded, "Sure. We came her through there, other than a few rough spots it should be fine for this car. which, by the way, is nice other than the missing headlight. What type?"

"Rover TC 2000," Jade grinned proudly. "Well, until this came off," she added while holding the headlight in her hands.

"Nice," the blonde said, jogging back towards her friends up near the opening.

"I'm sorry Jade, I'll fix it," Tori muttered, feeling warmth across her cheeks as she drove up around tents.

"You better Vega." The Rover continued to drive up towards the trees, and as the girls waved at the blonde, something hit the back of the car. The blonde beside the opening covered her mouth with one hand and the Latina cringed as she looked back. "YOU FUCKING BASTARDS!" Jade bellowed as she watched some of the mud slide mockingly down the tinted window..

"Don't worry Jade," Tori sighed as she held on to the goth's wrist before passenger door opened, "I'll take care of this. Might want to hang on though." Before doing anything, however, the youngest Vega rolled down the window and hollered at the blonde, "You may want to take out your phone." She did so eagerly with a smirk on her face as the car backed up slightly.

"So, what are you doing?" Jade asked anxiously as the mirror was being adjusted.

"Just aiming," Tori answered before winking. The goth smirked devilishly before howling with a crazed laughter as the Rover shot furiously down the small nature-made ramp. As soon as the trunk made contact with the two garbage bins with boys in each, they flew off into the water. Jade grinned as she watched the blonde holding her phone while the girls around her collapsed in fits of laughter.

The window was rolled down again and Kevin stood, paralyzed with shock. "So give us $300 dollars and we'll let it slide," the Vega said bluntly.

"Wha- no! I'm not gonna-"

"Do it or I'll run over you. Worse, I'll let my friend here see you to it." He looked over and nodded hurriedly, rushing over to his tent and sprinting back with a fistful of thirty '10's. "That's the headlight paid," she chuckled as her thumb ran through the money. The Latina nodded and drove her way up to the clearing and stopped to meet the blonde once again.

"Posting it on the Slap?"

"This is amazing, of course!" the girl laughed. Before Tori could roll up her window, once of the boys who was flown away into the water yelled, "DO IT AGAIN!" as he walked on the grass. Instead, the horn was honked noisily and the car disappeared into the trees.

As Tori led the trustful car through the terrain, both laughed and once it was settled, Jade said admiringly, "You're really something, you know that Vega?"

"Really?" the youngest Vega asked, stopping the car near the road. The goth nodded and tugged Tori's small jacket into a fiery kiss, then answered, "Really."

All Tori could do was beam all the way to the small town, this day was great.

~Road to the Unknown~

The car drove on the highway, Jade humming to Johnny Cash while Tori fiddled with her phone. She jumped a little in her seat once it rang. "Who's interrupting Cash?" the goth grumbled sourly.

"Andre. Now would you turn that down," Tori muttered as she answered the phone. Jade groaned miserably and turned the dial for the volume. While her eyes were still watching the road, the youngest West strained her ears to listen in on the conversation.

"Hey chica, you have explaining to do."

"What Andre?" Tori asked, worried.

"Have you gone on the Slap lately and watched some, ah, recent videos?"

"On my spare time..."

"And when was the last time you did?"

"Last night," the Latina answered confused, adding, "What are you going on about?"

"Did you, by chance, send two guys flying into a lake?"

"...How would you assume it was me?" Tori asked with a smirk on her face. She could almost feel Andre shaking his head with a grin matching hers as he answered, "Tori, I can recognize Jade's car even with the headlight missing."

"Yeah Vega, the headlight that is on your lap!" Jade teased load enough for Andre to hear.

"Oh, so you are with Jade, how come?"

"She asked me to join her on this road trip a week or so ago and we left the next day."

"A week?" the musician repeated.

"Yep," Tori agreed, popping the 'p'.

"So, you two cool now?"

"You could say that," the Latina muttered as she winked at Jade, who in turn smirked.

"Cool, cool," Andre muttered before adding, "So, what did you two do?"

"Last night we went camping."

"And did you set up any tents?" the musician mused, remembering Tori's luck with his tents for a scene.

"No, we just slept in Jade's car," the Vega answered stubbornly.

"That's not how I remembered it," Jade put in, a grin spreading across her face. Tori turned into a beet red and whacked the goth across the shoulder while she heard Andre sputter out a "What does she mean by that" on the phone. The Latina stuttered and looked at Jade for some help, who mouthed 'You can tell him'.

The youngest Vega practically heard her best friend sigh, expecting an answer when mumbled, "We might have done other things too in the car..."

"Like what? Tell ghost stories? Tori did you scream?"

"Oh she did some screaming alright," Jade laughed, receiving another whack.

"Tori, were they really that bad?"

"No, Andre, she means a different type of screaming," the Latina sighed while the goth howled with laughter.

"Wha-" he began, thoroughly confused, as anyone would.

"We had sex... there, you happy?" Tori hissed, muting the other side. For a few moments, neither side of the line spoke, which worried the two girls. All anxiety vanished when Andre eventually answered with, "So you two are really cool then. When did it start?"

"What do you mean?" Tori asked once she was done with her relieved fit of laughter.

"I'm assuming you two didn't start pouncing on each other. So uh... where did you have your first kiss?" Andre asked, finding a way to continue the conversation.

"It was kind of at a sex motel," the Latina blushed.

"WHAT?" Andre yelled over the phone. After a few seconds, Tori put the call on speaker and made Jade explain. She reluctantly agreed to explain and started the long story with, "Well... it began when Vega's parents showed up and...

~Road to the Unknown~

After a long call, Jade hung up the phone since the car had been sitting at their destination for about five minutes. "Bye Andre," she had said before pressing roughly on the screen.

"Hey! I was in the middle of telling him a story," Tori pouted.

"And we were in the middle of getting to that abandoned mine which, by the way, is right in front of us," the goth retorted. The Latina looked outside the window and grinned; a small town stood before her just like how Hollywood would create it. Well, except for the fact these all have four walls and the other sets have one, Tori thought to herself.

Both girls climbed out of the car and stretched before walking towards the 'ghost town'. The sun hung over the town and the Vega realized just how hot Arizona can be. "Jade, how hot is it today?"

"112 degrees, but it'll rain later today," the goth reported as she looked at her phone. "Wow, that's a lot of rain...Yeah, we are going to have to find some place tonight to sleep."

"Can't we just drive through the rain?" Tori asked curiously.

"Noooo, first of all, you're not driving until my car is fixed and flash floods."

"They can't be that bad..." the Latina muttered, fingers intertwining with Jade's as she was led to the small town. While there, the two girls enjoyed the four hours spent observing the place. First, they went to the mine were Jade had proceeded to scare Tori half to death while creeping in the shadows. After receiving a playful punch, the goth continued to stay by the nervous Latina's side. Once all the mine that had been open to the public had been explored, the jails were where two pairs of feet practically ran to. Minutes pass while Jade is in the cell with a crazed smile that may or may not have scared a couple of children. Tori rolled her eyes as they were kicked out of the jail and indulged herself in a mint ice cream while Jade chocolate. The Latina smiled at the pale mint eyes, identical to her dessert, before giving Jade a nice, long kiss. As she felt a comforting warmth rush through her, one thing sped through her mind and hung there for a while.

I need this girl...forever.

~Road to the Unknown~

Lightening flashed as Jade walked into the motel bedroom, eyes immediately falling on the Latina in bed, reading with her glasses. She lingered by the entryway, arm on the wall as she leaned against it, watching Tori in wonder. Deciding that standing there wasn't entertaining, the goth strode over the bed and got under the covers with her partner making little to no noise.

"Look who is interested in the book now," Tori muttered playfully as she flipped to page 85.

"I'm not interested in the damn book Vega," Jade snapped, "I'm interested in the person reading it." Coffee brown eyes strayed over to find a victorious smirk spread across the youngest West's face and shook her head with a slight grin. After a few more page turns, Jade asked impatiently, "So what's it about?"

"Like you'd want to know."

"I don't..." the goth tried to rebut, before giving in with a sigh. "Just what is it about?"

Tori marked her page and turned her head over to the demanding girl, and gave a sigh of her own. "It's based on the legends around the area we visited. Basically, two girls were outlaws and they went around all of the South really, and then some in the Southwest. The two where always chased after by this group which no one really knows the name of. The book didn't tell me anyway.

"Anyway, they became kind of like antiheros, helping the hurt and beating the ones who opposed them. Sometimes the girls would kill, but it didn't happen often..."

Jade, who actually found this interesting, asked curiously, "Were they in that town we were in?"

The Latina shook her head, "No one knows where one of them came from but rumors have it that one of them used to be the sheriff of a town that burned decades later."

"What where they called?"

"Uhhh, the book gave a bunch of names actually, the main one is the 'Bullet Duet'."

"That's a stupid name." Tori rolled her eyes, expecting that answer.

"Well, the first name the book said was the 'Bullet Rangers'."

"That's better," Jade smiled, pleased. "What is with them and bullets?"

"Well, I would know if you didn't interrupt my reading," Tori replied, "Now excuse me, but I'll go back to reading." As she reached for the book she had laid on her lap, a pale hand whipped out and tossed it over to her side table, "I've had enough of that book."

"You barely read any of it," the Latina hummed as she felt Jade put her cold hand under her shirt.

"Like I said, I am interested in the reader," the goth murmured before placing her lips on Tori's. Her skin prickled as she felt hands reach around her, pulling them closer together. Jade moaned slightly as Tori brushed against her nipples through the shirt she wore, giving the Vega a chance to stick her tongue in Jade's mouth which she gladly took. Minutes pass and neither of them knew how Tori got on top or how both where in just their underwear. Though neither complained as their kisses slowed and passion continued. Once a few pecks were given, Tori looked deeply into Jade's eyes, and smiled, "Can we cuddle?"

Jade chuckled at how adorable the youngest Vega just sounded and cupped her cheek. "Sure, just I think we would like these off," she muttered as the glasses were slid off and Jade placed them gently on the semi-forgotten book. Tori grinned and kissed the goth one last time before resting her head on the pale shoulder and closed her eyes.

"Goodnight Jade."

"Goodnight Tori," Jade mumbled, giving Tori a peck on her fore head, smiling when she felt a slight grin against her shoulder blade. Deciding she needed to listen to the rain for a little while, the goth laid on the bed, holding the Latina in gentle arms, hands in long, brunette hair. After a bit, however, Jade felt her eyes grow heavy and submitted to slumber as well, a small smirk staying behind as she slept.
