Josie-Blink 182
Jade sat quietly in the room staring at the wall. She and the others had graduated from Hollywood Arts five years ago. The group had, surprisingly enough, managed to stay fairly close even after graduation and going their separate ways. Andre and Tori worked together almost constantly on Tori's booming music career, as well as writing the scores for most of Jade's plays. He'd even agreed to write the score for the Sleepaway Camp reboot Jade was working on, when it got green lighted. Cat and Robbie had gotten married, and both had very respectable careers, with Cat being a popular Broadway actress, while Robbie mainly worked as a writer, with his own plays growing in popularity. Jade and Beck were both growing in popularity and fame as actors for Hollywood. Beck had achieved fame playing Hercules in the live action remake of the movie Disney had made a year ago, and Jade had gotten to play one of her dream roles-Raven in the Twisted Metal movie.
None of those things were the reason for Jade sitting in this room though. No, the reason why Jade was sitting here had nothing to do with their careers, though it did have plenty to do with Hollywood Arts. After graduation, Tori and Jade had stayed together, in every sense of the word together. The first thing they'd bought after getting their first paychecks (Tori's for her first album and Jade's for the rights to Well Wishes) was a penthouse apartment that they were still living in together. And now here Jade was, waiting for Cat to come and tell her everything was ready for Jade to come to alter and wait for Tori to come up, escorted by Mr. Vega while Cat waited with the rings.
Growing impatient, Jade got up and walked over to the mirror, giving herself one last check. She'd removed the green streaks from her hair and had put it up in a ponytail to keep it out her face. She'd made up for the lack of color in her hair by wearing a dark green tie instead. Jade smiled at the irony. Tori was the one who'd proposed, but Jade was the one in the suit, as well as the one who'd be at the altar when the music began. Tori had asked Jade why she wasn't wearing a dress. It was a fair and simple question, and Jade had a simple answer-she liked the color black. If there was one area that she envied men in, it was their ability to wear formal clothes that were black for reasons besides mourning. If she'd worn a black dress, everyone would have asked her why she was dressed for a funeral, and several people would have made jokes about Jade's supposed opinions on getting married to Tori that they thought were hilarious, but that really weren't. It was better for everyone involved if Jade just wore a suit.
"I wish you'd have let me plan the wedding." Cat whined, walking into the room. Jade rolled her eyes.
"Cat, you wanted a My Little Pony theme." She reminded the bubbly redhead, adjusting her tie. Tori had actually agreed to let Cat plan the wedding…up until they realized her plans, at which point they'd removed her from the planning process and started over.
"Just for the reception!" Cat protested. "You'd have had a beautiful ceremony."
"I don't care! My Little Pony isn't cool! It will never be cool, no matter what you do with it!" Jade snapped, turning to face her.
"Beck and Andre like the show." Cat reminded her.
"Why'd you have to remind her?" Jade's best man demanded, walking into the room. The fact that Beck and Andre liked My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic had come up the last time they'd had this argument. Jade's response had been to hit both men on the head with a frying pan.
"Relax." Jade said. "I don't have any heavy objects right now." Jade told Beck, smirking.
"What about that chair?" Cat asked, making Beck wince. Jade gave it a considering look.
"Nah, it's plastic. Not heavy enough. Besides," She turned to face Beck. "I assume you're here to tell me that everything's ready for me to take my place at the altar?" Beck nodded quickly, eager to move on.
"Yeah, it's all in place." He told her. "Once you get there, we'll just be waiting on Tori." Jade walked past him out the door.
"Then what are we doing waiting around here for? Let's get this show on the road." Beck rolled his eyes and Cat squealed with excitement before for following her out of the room.
An hour later, the newly christened Mrs. And Mrs. West were dancing in the center of the reception hall, which featured a distinctive lack of ponies. "I'm impressed." Jade admitted grudgingly. "I didn't think that Trina would do such a good job. I just figured she'd be better than Cat." Tori smiled up at her.
"I think that's the first time you've said something nice about Trina."
"Can you blame me?" Jade asked, pulling Tori closer as the song they were dancing to drew to a close.
"…No." Tori admitted. As the song ended, Tori nodded to a nearby empty table. "You want to sit down for a while?" Jade smiled, and Tori had flashbacks of their first date and the smile Jade had when she announced that they'd be watching Saw.
"Nah, let's do one more song." She said, nodding to where Andre was taking a place at the piano while the band pulled out new sheet music.
"Jade, what are you doing?" Tori asked warily
"You'll see." Jade said, still smiling. The band and Andre began the introduction of the song, and Tori's eyes widened in horror.
"You didn't." Jade just smiled and continued to dance as the singer began his part.
You're such a beautiful freak
I wish there were more just like you
You're not like all of the others
"You are evil!" Tori moaned. The song had become hugely popular, much to Tori's chagrin, and Jade never failed to tease Tori about its origins whenever it played on the radio. "I want a divorce." She said pouting, ruining the effect of her words by leaning her head against Jade's shoulder. Jade just laughed.
"I still don't understand your issue with this song." She told Tori, kissing the top of her head. "It got us together."
"Yeah, but…you keep teasing me about being so obvious when I thought it was subtle."
"You actually thought you were being subtle?" Jade exclaimed in disbelief. "Have you read the lyrics? The My Little Pony theme is subtler about what it's about!"
"Shut up." Tori said, pouting. Jade just laughed. "You're really good at making me want to break up with you." The brunette observed. Jade shrugged.
"That just means that we have a lot of make-up sex." She said, making Tori blush. "And you know what they say about make-up sex." Tori pulled her head away from Jade's shoulder and punched said shoulder.
"Jade! My parents are here!" Jade rolled her eyes.
"Tori, we've been living together for five years now. Six if you count the time I spent living in your guest bedroom. I think your parents know that we've had sex."
"That doesn't matter! You still don't talk about it in public!" Jade rolled her eyes again.
"Tori, all I did was say that we have sex. It's not like I talked about you like it when I…" Tori's eyes bugged out and her face was redder than Cat's hair, making Jade laugh. "Jeez Tori, I'm just joking. Chill out."
"You're as bad a Rex." Tori complained, her face still red. Jade raised an eyebrow and leaned in close to whisper in Tori's ear.
"Oh, you are so paying for that tonight." Tori gulped, and Jade laughed. "I love you Tori."
"I love you too." Tori said, kissing Jade. "Even if you're a pervert."
"Nah, I just like making you blush. You're adorable when you get embarrassed." Tori rolled her eyes, the band continued to play, and Tori and Jade continued to dance. Everything was fine.
