Jade's POV.

We'd just finished the show, and it went better than the first one did surprisingly.

The five of us stood on stage holding hands, taking our bow when Tori seemed to freeze up and look into the audience.

I glanced at her, and she must have sensed it because she pointed into the back of the black box theatre with the same look she had just last year for the first play in these characters.

"Is that-" she paused as we saw those same two boys that tried to get our attention.

"Run, Walter!" I said and pushed her off the side of the stage, both of us laughing as we took off towards the dressing rooms.

"How did they even find us again? It's been over a year," Tori said with a pout, making a move to pull her fake moustache off, but I stopped her.

"We need a photo," I said at her confused expression just as Cat came into the room and I pulled Tori close, handing my phone to Cat without an explanation, but she knew what to do.

We took two photos, Tori holding me from behind like a typical couple, and one with us kissing.

"Thanks, Cat," Tori said before pulling her wig and moustache off with a sigh of relief.

I pulled my wig off also and ran my fingers through my hair a few times, thankful to have it free after the two hours of it being contained by the wig.

"Oh! I almost forgot. Andre and Beck were talking about heading over to Karaoke Dokie with everyone after we've changed," Cat said, remembering why she came into the room in the first place.

"Sounds good, I could really go for those Buffalo Wings right about now," I said and patted my stomach before stepping behind the small screen so that I could change.

"Yeah, I really feel like singing to let some energy go," I heard Tori say from the other side of the screen.

"What are you gonna sing?" Cat asked.

"I don't know yet," Tori said, and there was a soft chuckle that followed.

Stepping out from behind the screen as I pulled my tank-top on I smiled at Tori who just seemed to stare.

"What?" I asked, feeling a little self-conscious under her gaze. Strange, I know, but still.

"You are just wonderful, beautiful, and amazing," she said softly and stepped closer to me, my back now pressed against the make-up desk as she stepped between my legs and lifted me to sit on the counter. "And you have great boobs," she whispered into my ear, placing a brief kiss below my ear.

God, I love her.

"I love you," I said, pressing my lips to hers as she held onto my waist.

"I love you too." She smiled into the kiss, our teeth clashing lightly, making her laugh a little and pull from the embrace before she started unbuttoning the blazer and shirt that belonged to her costume.

"Hey, someone?" Cat called from the other side of the screen. "M-My zippers stuck," she said with a hint of pain in her voice, and I eased Tori out of the way quickly, stepping over to see what was going on.

"Hold on, Cat, your hair is stuck," I said and carefully untangled her long hair from the zip before unzipping it the rest of the way and moving back around to see Tori had already changed back into the skinny jeans she was wearing before the show and a purple tank-top.

Pouting at Cat having distracted me from Tori's body, I picked up our bags and looked at my phone as it chimed.

"Andre, Beck and Robbie are heading over to Karaoke Dokie now," I said, and Tori giggled a little, taking her bag from my hand, slipping it onto her shoulder. "What?" I asked.

"Say 'Dokie' again," she said and grinned brightly.

"No," I said with a light pout before muttering in her ear, "Dokie."

Which made her laugh and hug me tight while we waited for Cat to hurry up.


Stepping into Karaoke Dokie with Tori's hand in mine, we caught the end of Tara and Hayley's song thankfully.

They seemed to get few applause, and that was from the owner who was one of their fathers, I don't know, I never cared.

Cat ran over and sat between Robbie and Andre at one of the two tables the boys reserved for us, so Tori and I moved through the tables and sat with Beck who had already ordered us some drinks and was playing on his phone.

"Hey, some guys were asking for you after the play," Beck said and sipped on his drink when he noticed us.

Tori's eyes widened, and she looked at him expectantly. "What did you say?"

"I told them to back off because you two weren't interested. Why were they looking for you?" He asked.

"They were there from the first play we did as Nancy and Walter, they saw us at Nozu when Sikowitz forced that fake date on us and just couldn't... Take a hint," I said smirking at the irony.

Tori rolled her eyes playfully and leaned into me as I put an arm around her shoulder.

"What do you want to eat?" I asked Tori over the music as the next song started playing.

"I'm not hungry," she said as she took a sip of her soda, resting her head on my shoulder as she watched Cat perform.

I didn't know what she was singing along to, but Tori seemed to, softly singing along. More worried due to whenever I usually mention food, Tori's stomach rumbles like an earthquake.


We'd been here for almost an hour, all of us had had something to eat except Tori, I kept offering her bites of mine, but she refused, sticking to her drink which she'd switched for water after her she'd finished the soda Beck had brought us.

Now that I'd thought about it, Tori hadn't eaten anything all day whenever she was around me.

She got up to head to the bathroom, so I took the chance to lean across the table and gain Beck's attention from whatever he'd been doing on his phone all night long.

"What's up?" He asked, smiling at me.

"Have you seen Tori eat anything today?" I asked, frowning a little and he looked like he was very deep in thought for a moment before he shook his head.

"No, I haven't, why? Do you think she hasn't eaten? Didn't she have breakfast?"

I tried to think back to this morning, I remember waking up to Tori bringing me pancakes in bed, I remember her having a coffee with me, claiming she'd eaten something while she was cooking, but her kiss didn't taste like pancakes, or anything other than coffee.

"I don't think so," I said, shrugging a little.

"Cat was with her at lunch, they were running lines, ask her," he said before calling Cat over.

"Hi, hi, hi!" Cat said, bouncing over to our table.

"Did Tori eat anything at lunch today?" I asked, getting straight to the point.

Cat frowned a little and shook her head. "She said she had a huge breakfast with you and wasn't hungry," she said and smiled and waved at someone behind me. "Hi, Tori!"

"Cat," Tori said with a nod and a smile, sitting back between Beck and me. "Good song choice earlier," she said softly.

"Thank you, are you going to sing soon?" Cat asked Tori.

"Nah, I think I changed my mind. I'm getting tired," Tori said, and as if on cue, yawned.

"Alright, it's almost time for this place to close anyway, let's go home, babe," I said, kissing Tori's temple.

"We'll see you guys at school on Monday," Tori said, smiling softly.

"It's supposed to get really hot tomorrow," Beck said as we stood. "Planning on going to the beach and not getting locked in the RV this time, do you want to come?"

I smiled and nodded and looked at Tori. "Up to you, Vega," I said when she looked at me.

"Sounds fun, meet at your place around nine?" Tori asked Beck, and he nodded.

"Yeah, most of the traffic should be cleared out by then."

"Great, we'll bring drinks and snacks, make sure you pack ice for the drinks," I said, looking at Beck who smiled and nodded.

"It can stay in the RV this time, just in case," he said, and we laughed softly before Tori, and I looked over at Cat who was deep in conversation with Robbie.

"I'll take her home," Beck said, smiling softly.

"Thanks," Tori said, grabbing my hand after making sure we had both our bags, phones and the keys.


Sitting on the bed with a heavy sigh, I looked up at the ceiling while I listened to Tori running the hot-tub that was in the bathroom.

I'm so glad we moved to this bigger room, this bathroom is so much bigger, with a bath that's like a fucking hot-tub, the room is bigger, and so is the closet.

Hello, walk-in!

Tori pulled open the bathroom door, her hair now up in a bun with a band keeping it pushed entirely out of her face, standing naked in the doorway.

"Want to join me for a soak?" She asked, smirking.

"You know I love pretending I'm in a witches stew," I said, pushing myself up off the bed. "I'm going to go get those strawberries, I'm feeling peckish," I said and kissed her gently when I got close enough. "Then I'll come right in and join you."

Tori nodded, turning to test the water and activate the jets, and I took a moment, appreciating her body before making my way downstairs to grab the fruit. I was going to make Tori eat today, even if that meant teasing her sexually to make her do so.
