AN: Okay so I wasn't a hundred percent on this chapter given the style I employ at the beginning, but I'll let you guys tell me what you think.


Before the sun can grace the sky Tori begins shifting in her cocoon of white Egyptian cotton sheets. Despite the overwhelming comfort her mind forces her awake. Lazily she turns over and faces the ceiling in complete darkness.

After another few minutes of silently staring she sits up stretching her arms. Tossing aside her covers she stands and begins stretching her legs, enjoying the light tingle the stretched muscles leave in their wake.

Without retrieving her pants or shoes she makes her way down the stairs and to the kitchen. After a brief search she discovers a box of cereal and pours herself a bowl. To be honest the entire feeling of waking up in the penthouse was a bit surreal, almost to the point where she thought she might have actually been dreaming. But the feeling began to quickly dissipate as the cold of the room started to sink in, especially the cool floor beneath her dangling feet.

Swiftly finishing her cold breakfast she heads back up the stairs for the rest of her clothes. However as she was about to enter she noticed Jade's door… then a devious smile broke across her face…'Should I?'

Answering her own question she steps over to Jade's door and opens it gently. Once open she rapidly slips over to the bed and with as much care as physically possible gets in. During Tori's careful maneuvering Jade remains motionless, snoring lightly. Tori had expected Jade to awaken soon after, finding herself wrapped around Tori and inciting comedic gold... What she did not expect was falling sleep…


About an hour later, as the sun finally begins to rise Jade begins to stir. As she rolls her head on her pillow it comes to rest on something hard resting on her chest. Blinking with still closed eyes she begins nudging the object with her head in an attempt to discover what it is. A soft groan is produced by the object when she increases pressure. The noise causes her eyes to open as she tries to bring up her left hand only to have a much larger and softer object holding it by her side. The second object forced her to notice the warmth being generated all along her left side, including on the left side of her chest.

Realizing that the two objects were attached and then reasoning that it was most likely a person her mind first thinks of Beck, she smiles…then frowns, for he has never done this before, furthermore he wasn't here at night.

Then like a bolt of lightning it hits her, 'Vega… But why is she sleeping on me? If this is a joke it would be funnier if she wasn't on my boob…okay so that makes it funnier.' Jade shifts her body slightly and notices the feeling of two soft fleshy mounds pressing in her side, 'Are those her boobs?' Jade brings up her free hand and pokes one of the mounds through Tori's shirt, then squeezes it once to confirm her guess, 'Yep…and I just fondled her…'

Laying there for another ten minutes wondering how exactly she should precede Jade cracks a grin. Jade takes her right hand and begins slowly running her index finger down Tori's exposed arm, from shoulder to hand. The finger barely makes contact as it slides down then back up. On the second time down Tori shivers and a low moan escapes her. Jade continues but frowns, 'Maybe this was a bad idea… Should I stop before…something happens…?'

Despite herself she continues until Tori nuzzles into Jade's chest, this stops her dead. But Tori continues to stir, until she throws her left arm across Jade's chest grasping her shoulder gently then turning so that even more of her body is in contact with Jade's. Jade's cheeks are a bright red as she shallows a lump in her throat, 'Yeah, way too far…How the hell do I get out of this? …Maybe let her wakeup first, just pretend to sleep until then. Yeah, that'll work.'

Unfortunately, Tori was rather happy where she was, and in her state of unbelievable comfort did not wish for it to end anytime soon. Jade had to simply lie there as Tori occasionally snuggled closer; decreasing the distance between them… though there wasn't much to start with.


Finally near one o'clock Tori awoke, slowly. With a mighty yawn she opened her eyes into the dimly lit room. Though once she felt the warm body almost completely beneath her, she swiftly fixed her gaze on the sleeping soul. Taking a rapid notice of the fact that she was cuddling with Jade, instead of the other way 'round, 'This was a REALLY bad idea!...how the hell did this happen? Okay, Tori, we can fix this…She isn't awake yet, all we have to do is get up and leave before she does wakeup..."

Tori begins moving, carefully… Until she finds her right arm very secure underneath Jade, 'Crap!'

Taking a deep breath she puts pressure on her trapped arm, forcing it further into the mattress and away from Jade's scorching back. Then she slides it free and lies on her back with a sigh of relief. As she's about to exit the bed, Jade in a seemingly unconscious state, lays over on Tori in much the same way as Tori was just laying on her. Jade winks,

"Gotcha'." Jade remains on Tori's chest for a second before rolling over and lying beside her. Tori can't believe it,

"…How long have you been awake?" She had the exact same idea as her, 'Damn you, Jade!' Jade turns on her side and props herself up on her left arm,

"Long enough to know you were trying something, and then chickened out." She smirks. Tori scratches her head,

"…yeah, I thought I could make you think you were spooning me." She looks up at Jade with a grimace. Jade stares,

"In my bed?"

"Okay so there were holes in my plan." Tori really wishes she had thought this through before the miserable attempt. Jade grins,

"So may I ask which one of these holes caused you to try and retreat?" Tori closes her eyes and meekly releases her answer,

"I fell asleep." Jade chuckles,

"You would. Oh, and there's nothing gay about slipping into bed with another girl and then falling asleep in her arms…and nuzzling her boob." Jade's sarcasm incites the most glorious look of fear and confusion on Tori's face as she rapidly sits up and turns to face her,

"I did what now?"

"Oh yeah, you were using my boob as a pillow…" She points at the 'pillow' in question then proceeds with another juicy little nugget,

"And rubbing yours allover me." She then points at the 'weapons'. During her moment of shock Tori is completely silent, but when she finally speaks,

"…So that was your boob then? I was wondering where you got the super comfy pillow." She recovers the best way she knows how as she smiles. Shaking her head lightly Jade speaks flatly,

"God, gave them to me."

"Yeah, and sorry about the rubbing…" As Tori's trying to apologize further something hits her and she starts giggling so hard she falls over onto her side. Jade is now the one in shock as she has no idea what caused this outburst,

"And what is so amusing?" Her voice is a bit snippy. Tori stops laughing, sits up, and smiles,

"Remember when I was rubbing your boyfriend?" Jade releases the somewhat stern expression on her face and cracks a grin,

"…And now you were rubbing me… with your boobs." But the grin is replaced with a scowl.

"I said I was sorry, plus you could have said something instead of lying there and enjoying it." Tori releases a teasing smirk. Jade is quick to respond,

"I didn't. But I did feel kind of weird about waking you up in such a…compromising position." Jade is smirking, but that is only a fraction of the happy she has for getting to say those last two words. Tori frowns,

"It's not my fault you're comfy and warm…" Beginning to hear how…'gay' that might sound she hurries on with,

"…Any person on Earth would have fallen asleep beside you." Jade however ignores the second part,

"Awe, does Tori have a fem crush?" All in a sickeningly sweet voice. Tori scowls,

"Like I said, 'anyone'. Okay?" Then softens it a little. Jade rolls her eyes,

"Fine, I believe you…" Then smiles kindly,

"And nice try. It could have been hilarious… but I don't think this is one we should share with the others." Her face hardens again, not exactly sure about how Beck would react to them sleeping in the same bed in such a position. However Tori grins,

"Remember yesterday when you said I would have a portable space heater?" It takes Jade a second to recall that particular tease session, since there have been so many of late. But when she does she laughs before smirking,

"We could invite Sunny up." Tori slides of the bed with her arms in the air,

"Forget I said anything!" She's headed for the door when Jade speaks with fake hurt,

"Leaving so soon." Tori dead stops, smiles, and turns around,

"Unless you want me to stay." Jade shrugs,

"Since we just missed another day of school, why not." Then lies back down with her hands behind her head. Tori's eyes widen,

"We did what? What time is it?" She begins frantically searching for a clock. Jade casually castes her eyes to the small clock on the nightstand,

"One-ten." With fiery determination Tori speaks,

"We can still make it."

"In the clothes we wore yesterday. And we'll be arriving together…again. So, unless you want the school talking about lezzy Tori I would advise against this." Jade never even lifts her head as she speaks.

"…So what, we just stay here?"

"We could go fetch some clothes from home and leave a few sets here for when we do this again."

"This?" Now Tori grins as she motions to the two of them in the same bedroom. The 'do this again' part of Jade's statement negates and overrides the fact that they could go home and change before going to school, and the fact it was unlikely that anyone would actually think her and Jade were together anyway.

"If you want. I'm comfortable enough in my sexuality to sleep in the same bed as a girl." Sure and her dreams are not a manifestation of her deep rooted subconscious desires to be in a romantic relationship with Tori…er, uhm…eh.


Four hours later when the others arrive at the building wondering where their friends were all day…missing school yet again, with each other no doubt. Beck leans on the counter as he asks,

"Hey, Mr. Cole. Have you seen Tori or Jade?" James shakes his head,

"Not since last night…" He then glances down at the notations of the night guard,

"…but apparently they never left. My guess is they stayed in the guest rooms in the penthouse." Pointing upward with his thumb James leans back in his chair.

"Why would they do that?" Beck castes his gaze to his friends then back at James. But before anyone else can say anything a man speaks from behind them,

"My guess is sex." He nods at his own answer as everyone turns to face him.

"What? Who are you?" Andre points at the man.

"Dan." Dan smiles. James sighs before delivering a much better introduction,

"Daniel Gyphson, Weston's tactical field specialist."

"I prefer spy, it makes me feel cooler." Dan strikes a Bond pose as he runs his hand through his hair. The teens are left in somewhat of a daze by his antics, so he stops and speaks,

"So, what were we saying about the teenage lovers?"

"Jade's my girlfriend!" Beck maybe a wee bit angry; it's one thing when Jade does her teasing, it's another when it's some guy he just met. Rolling his eyes and speaking in a blasé tone Dan begins to walk toward the lift,

"Sure if you want to keep telling yourself that." Dan may have pushed Beck a tad too far, as he grabs his shoulder and turns him around,

"Hey, pun-aaahhhhh." Unfortunately Dan is significantly stronger than he appears and easily lifts Beck by the collar with one hand. Then Dan's tone becomes grave,

"Kid, I killed packs of were-bears in the Arden. So if you think a human can scare me you're dead wrong, or maybe…just dead." He bares his twin curved fangs as he hisses at the boy. James interjects sternly,

"Dan, let the boy go." Closing his mouth and slightly resetting his jaw before he obeys and sets him down,

"Fine." The serpent man then castes a steel glare at the Canadian,

"You're lucky James is here, because I don't take kindly to threats." James sighs,

"Now, Dan, I'm fairly certain Jade is dating this young man and has no feeling for Tori." Interesting how he's only 'fairly certain'.

"You and Justin are just alike then. Fine, live in your fantasy world. I'm here for the report on the Vandersine anyway." Dan begins walking away with a disregarding wave.

"File it with Jesic!" James's tone marks his displeasure with Dan's normal filing method…a heap on his own desk.

"Well, you guys know the way, and sorry about Dan. He has a tendency to follow his wild fantasies over reality." James motions to the lift doors as they close, not paying heed to the surprised expressions on their faces.


AN: Now for those of you wandering what Jade and Tori did for those four hours, well that will be covered in the next chapter.

I decided I wanted to break up the flow a bit and add a little of the others...because you won't be seeing them for a while.

And my poll will stay up till I get a few more answers… Come on, you actually get to decide the fate of a character, that isn't interesting?
