Tutoring ended and Tori got a good grade. Julie did as well. The next week was the last of school so, Tori had told the whole gang (if Andre could make it on time) she was going to make dinner to celebrate friday night and she, Beck, Jade and Cat were grocery shopping for it.

"You better do something better than spicy tuna, I heard Trina said it was really bad" said Jade, taking the special rice off Tori's hands.

"Hey! I need that! And no, I'm very good cooking now. I'm making Chinese food. Or would you like something else?" Said Tori, grabbing again the special rice.

"I want curry" said Beck, rolling the store cart.

"She asked me! Not you!... I want curry too" said Jade as Beck rolled his eyes.

"Oh, ok then we'll have to give back some things and get others" said Tori. "Where's Cat?"

"Ugh, she probably is on the candy hallway. She's running out of licorice candy" said Jade.

"She still keeps candy in her bra?"

"Yeap... I'm going to get her". Jade turned on a corner and let Tori and Beck alone picking some ingredients for the gravy.

"Why don't you buy the already made gravy?"

"Because, it's not the same at all. I want to make it right"

"Yeah, besides, you know Jade doesn't like canned food"

"Shush!"

Beck smiled at Tori's interest of doing things as Jade like them. They went ahead to find Cat and the goth, when they found them talking to the Heart twins, or at least, Cat was the one talking.

"And that's why I keep candy in my bra" said the redhead.

"Well, that comes very handy Cat. I may try it" said one of them.

"Yeah, we got to go Cat, Tori and Beck are waiting. Good to know you had a good grade , Tweedledee, see ya Tweedledum" said Jade, not caring to look to the right girl and taking Cat by the arm.

"Oh! Yeah, Tori's making dinner for us! She got a good grade too! Wanna come?"

"Cat! You can't invite people just like that!" said Jade.

"Sure, we'll be there. When?"

"No! Tori's already cooking for 6 maybe 7 people Cat, we can't invite~"

"It's ok Jade, I can cook more than enough for all of us. It would be rude to tell them not to come when they're already invited" said Tori, walking towards the four girls with Beck pushing the shop cart.

"Thank you, Tori. That's very sweet of you" said one of the twins.

"Oh, it's nothing, Lucy" said Tori smiling, making Lucy stare at her for a moment.

"Well, see you tomorrow then... What time?" Said Julie, breaking the little silence.

"Uhm.. I think at 7 p.m. dinner would be ready, then we can just talk or watch a movie or something" said the half latina.

"Good. See you then. Tori, Beck, Cat... Jade" said Lucy as parting, looking each one of them, staring at Jade a little longer than the others with a grin on her face.

The twins got out of the place and head to the parking. They jumped in the car and started to drive.

"Ok, I know I asked for help but you pushed like more than enough there" said Julie.

"Well, you weren't speaking sis, and I had to get us invited to her place so you can approach her" said Lucy, stoping on a red light.

"Lucky we found them there, other way I don't know what you'd have done for starters"

"Julie, I knew they're gonna be there. I texted Cat this morning and asked her what's she gonna do for the day. She told me about the dinner and the grocery shopping. Why else you think we left the place without buying a thing?"

"You took advantage from Cat! You're evil"

"You like that chick or what? Don't back off now, Julie" said Lucy, driving again.

"I do like her, but Cat is really sweet, it was rude of you to use her, Lucy"

"I love you, sis. And I know you really like Jade, you get wordless on her presence. We may need to do the thing... As long as we never do it on that Tori girl presence"

"I know. She easily knew you were, well, you. I think it is 'cause the time we spent together on tutoring" said Julie.

"That, and the fact, Cat told me, she likes Jade too. But don't worry Julie, we'll get Jade for you. One way or another" said Lucy, parking the car in the garage of a very big house on a very fancy zone.

"Just please don't push over limits. You always do it and I always end backing off because of it" said Julie, getting out of the car, walking to the entrance with her sister beside her.

"We'll keep it easy. Now come, let's go see what we're wearing tomorrow"

Next day, Tori was on Jade's, finishing cooking dinner.

"Smells good" said Beck, assisting Tori on the kitchen.

"I thought we were having curry" said Cat, looking over the pasta pot.

"Jade changed her mind, and being a 'thanks for tutoring me and remember I'm still fighting' dinner, Tori changed the menu too" said Beck, tasting the tomato sauce.

"Shush! It's for all of us. For the end school and maybe to thank her about tutoring but that's all" argued Tori.

"Yeah, sure" said Cat, setting the table when the door opened letting in Jade and the twins.

"Yeah, we can talk about it after diner" said Jade with a very interested tone on her voice.

"Sure, and I can think on something to thank you for tutoring too" said, apparently, Julie. Both girls were dressed exactly the same and was more difficult for Tori to know who was who.

"Hi guys, sorry about the outfits. Sometimes we do modelling and today we had a call. We just finished and couldn't change but, we'll keep our places so you recognize us" said Lucy, standing on the right side of her sister. "The one on your left is me, Lucy and the one on your right is Julie"

"Ok, that fixed... Vega, you need help?"

"Uh?.. No, Jade, we already finished with the food. You can help Cat to set the table?"

"Yes! We can do it together Jadey!"

"Ugh... No, I don't want to" said Jade. A few minutes later the doorbell rang.

"Pass!" said Beck, Cat and Tori.

"What? Ugh, fine!... Mary Kate or Ashley, go get the door" said Jade, getting a 'no no' look from Beck and Tori. "Fine, I'll get it."

"Whats up people! I made it!" said a smiling Andre, hugging Jade for being the closer one and then everybody else. Robbie and Trina were behind him.

"I went pick him up to the station, and we found Trina downstairs" said Robbie.

Diner happened and after it, the gang and the twins were chatting. Tori got up to get some water from the kitchen when Julie (apparently) came in.

"Hey Tori? Diner was really good! You are an amazing chef" she said.

"Oh, thanks! I don't really do it often but well, school year is over and my friends are here so, I really wanted to cook for them" said Tori.

"For Jade specially, right?" said Julie, making Tori blush and smile nervously. "Oh, it's ok. I could see on tutoring how you looked at her. Anyhow, I think Lucy and I are going now, we have things to attend. Thanks for inviting us. See you in class"

"Yeah, uhm sure. You're welcome" Tori just smiled to her and was on her way out when she saw Jade and Lucy getting out of the study room, Lucy smiling shyly. Julie passed beside her and said goodbye to everyone else.

"Thanks guys for having us, you are really cool! Jade, thanks again for tutoring and I hope you accept my invitation when I think on something" said Julie.

"We'll see. See you tomorrow then, and thanks" said Jade, looking at Lucy. Somehow, something was out of place for Tori but she said nothing.

"You know, it would be cool to do something together. Like old times. What if we go to Coney Island? Just to hang out" said Andre.

"I'm on!" said Robbie.

"Yeah, let's do that! Tomorrow I just have to deliver a thing for my last class and I'm game" said Beck.

"Yay! Let's go to the fair!"

"Don't you have to go to the office, Cat?" asked Tori.

"No, they gave me free time thanks to Lucy. Her mom is the boss" said Cat.

"Oh, ok then. I'm in too, it's been a while since we did something together" said Tori.

"Well, since the last time Andre came, was the day of that party remember? You and Jade left early" said Trina. Making Jade and Tori look each other, for a second. "I'm in too. I have nothing else to do since the place I work is remodelling. Good thing they're paying us anyway"

"Who said you're invited?" said Jade.

"I'm part of this group! Like it or not so shush!" argued Trina, making everybody laugh.

"Grrr!... Anyway. I have an appointment with one of the twins tomorrow but after that I'm in" said Jade.

"A date?" asked Beck, making Tori feel uncomfortable hearing that word. "Cause let me tell you, that girl Lucy couldn't stop looking at you"

"It's not my fault to be this pretty and it's not a date, it's an appointment for, maybe, a job" said Jade, not caring to look in Tori's direction.

They settled an hour to meet on the subway station, helped to clean and then left. Trina gave Andre and (against her will) Robbie a ride to their places. Andre was staying with Robbie.

"Am I going to take you to your dorm too, sis?" Trina asked.

"Yeah, just give me a sec, I'm almost done picking up some things" Tori answered.

"Leave it Tori, we'll do it" said Beck, putting some things back in the fridge.

"You mean you'll do it, Cat is already sleeping in the couch and I'm not doing it" said Jade, waving her goodbyes and going straight to her room.

"Well, I'll do it. It's late so you better go and be careful" said Beck, holding the door for his friends. "See you tomorrow guys"

Next day. The absence of Jade's voice at the other side of the line was maddening for Tori. She had called her since half an hour before the hour they had agreed to met on the sub station.

"Did you have luck?" asked Beck, checking his own phone for the fifth time in two minutes.

"No, she does not ans- Jade? When you hear this can you call me? Anyone of us, just to know you're okay even if you don't show up..." said Tori, before turning to the others, "I got the voice mail again. Let's get going, it's obvious she's not coming"

The way to their destiny was pretty normal for them. Laughing, singing, taking pictures and having fun but at least Beck couldn't help but notice Tori was lightly dissapointed. "What's wrong kiddo?" he asked while Robbie was taking pictures of Trina and Cat with Andre.

"Huh? Nothing, I just... I'm still hoping for Jade to be ok and her absence is due to her getting the job with Mrs. Heart" said Tori on a rush.

"Jealous?" Beck asked again.

"What!? No! I just... I don't know. I've tried to get close to her enough for ask her out but she always tell me to stop and shut up, like I annoy her and Lucy likes her and now they're maybe together and... I don't trust her, not when she's with her sister"

"You're forgetting some things... Important things" said Beck, taking Tori by her shoulder, the girl looking at him waiting for him to keep talking. Beck smiled and counted with his free hand "they're twins, they're ginger and last but not least, Jade likes you"

Tori smiled and gave Beck a quick hug when they arrived to their station. On their way out, Tori was hanging from Beck's arm, laughing with him and the rest of the gang, but for the gothic chick waiting for her friends outside the train, it was just Tori and Beck laughing.

"Jade! You made it!" Said Cat in excitement running straight to Jade and stopping just remembering she is not allowed to hug her.

"Yeah, my phone died and couldn't tell any of you that I was going to be late" she said.

"Why didn't you borrow Julie's or Lucy's? Julie has my number and Lucy has Cat's" asked Tori, smiling for seeing Jade there, but she only received a glare and her arm hanging on Beck's received one more, making the Latina to let go of him.

"Well I was late, that wasn't going to change with a message. Anyhow, one of them insisted on getting a cab for me and whatever, here I am... Shall we go?"

The trip was ok, they laughed and had fun but Jade was avoiding Tori and Beck. After two hours of walking and riding the games they were buying cotton candy when, surprisingly, they found someone, or well, someone found them.

"Cat, you want the pink one then?" Robbie asked.

"I dunno, I want to try the purple one but what if I don't like it?" Cat answered.

"Then you throw it away and make Robbie buy you a pink one" said Jade.

"Well that's not fair for Robbie, don't you think?" said a voice behind them, a voice Tori was not pleased to hear at all. "Hey guys, didn't think we would find you here. Hey Cat, why don't you get two small ones? One pink and one purple, it's even better isn't it?"

"Are you following us?" said Tori, realizing the words had left her mouth before even thinking. Everybody else stared at her.

One of the twins put on a smile, one close to a smirk. "Why would we do that? We were bored, and were close to the fair so we decided to come. After Jade left, we went out for a coffee and ended up here, right Lucy?"

The other girl looked at her similar and answered with a nod and a shy smile. "Jade didn't even tell where she was going, we just called her a cab and they charged it to the family account. Anyhow, it was good to see you guys! See you on monday, Jade. Mom is very pleased with you and your ideas" and so they left.

The gang made their way back to the sub station and kept talking about how much fun they had when Trina reached Tori. "What was that about, sis?" the older Vega asked.

"It was nothing. I just... Julie is a nice person you know? But lately they're always together and when they're together... I don't like them" said Tori.

"Well, I think is just jealousy. You feel threatened by whoever is the one that likes Jade. Make your move, Tor" Trina said and then dragged Tori to reach the others.

Passing through the parking lot, inside a white Porsche Cayman, the heart twins were watching them go.

"You are taking this too far again, Lucy"

"I am not, Juls. I'm just gathering some info. Looks like Jade just has these friends, what makes it easier. Next week she'll be working on the opening show and you'll be the one there, she won't have much time for her friends and that includes Tori."

"I knew it was a bad idea to tell you. What if I wanted to try things by myself?" said Julie.

"You didn't. You can't approach a person you like without me. That's why you always tell me and even knowing I would do anything for you to be happy Julie. Don't back off and we'll get you Jade~"

"One way or another" interrupted Julie. "As it always is with you, Lucy"


One way or another - Blondie

This song has always seemed kind of creepy to me. Awesomely creepy! Anyhow. I'm back! All the problems were solved and I hope this does not happen again. As I said my computer died somehow and the guy who was going to save it just made it back to fabric state or whatever so, deleted everything. I lost pictures and music and ugh... I hope you're still with me guys! Leave a review and I have still your songs in a notebook so I'll work with those ones but you still can give me some. I don't think this will be much longer tho. See ya guys.
