Tori sat slumped on the couch, her eyes on the semi-interesting baking competition on the TV and her hand idly combing through thick dark hair. Jade was using her lap as a pillow and had fallen asleep, too bored with the current show. A sudden cringe and an agitated groan came from her, causing Tori's hand to pause. She looked down at slender brows furrowing, full lips scowling, and wondered what Jade was dreaming about.

"No demon snakes…I have to save her…leave her alone!"

Jade's mumbling turned to a panicked yell and she bolted awake, almost falling off the couch in her haste to sit up. She looked around while Tori silently stared, concerned. Jade's confusion cleared and she sighed, rubbing at her face.

"Stupid dreams," she grumbled.

"What were you dreaming about?" Tori finally asked. Jade shot her a look before closing her eyes and shaking her head.

"I'm ashamed to say."

Tori frowned at that answer, trying to work out if Jade might have dreamt of her sister or a dream worthy of Cat.

"It didn't have anything to do with Tr-"

"God no! Ugh, how could you think that of me?" Jade demanded, glaring. Tori only shrugged.

"You said you were ashamed."

"I'd be more than ashamed if I ever had a dream like that. You're the only Vega romping around in my head, I can guarantee that," Jade assured. Tori blushed lightly and Jade's smirk let her know that she noticed.

"So, then what was it really about?" Tori asked, moving the conversation along.

"If you must know, I dreamt about that stupid show we've been watching non-stop. I keep putting us in the episodes, in the role of the characters, and I can't get it to stop. It's annoying." Jade explained. Tori was mildly surprised.

"We really need to take a break from it then if it's affecting you that much," she advised. Jade only nodded. Silence fell between them until Tori spoke up again.

"Wait, who were we?" she wondered, highly curious.

"What does it matter?" Jade responded, a bit defensively. Tori scrutinized her and Jade looked away. Tori let out a bark of laughter and pointed a finger at her.

"I knew it! Angel and Buffy, right? That's us, right?" she stated, a teasing tone to her voice.

"I'm not arguing with you over this," Jade warned.

"But your mind clearly thinks-"

"Well, it's wrong, okay!? Let's just stop watching it for a while until I clear my head. Now watch your stupid British baking show," Jade snapped, putting space between them. Tori giggled and scooted closer until she was snuggled up to Jade, leaning in to kiss her cheek and then tap the end of her nose.

"I still love you my grumpy vamp," she taunted playfully. Jade growled but didn't react.

"Shut up. And get your finger out of my face before this grumpy vamp bites it off," Jade threatened, arms crossed and eyes riveted to the TV.

"Now you're straying into Angelus territory or maybe even Spike," Tori commented.

"Vega!"

Okay, all out of my system now. Jade's over it and so am I, although I think I'm only halfway through all the seasons so I've got more to watch. Oh, boy. By the way, if anyone has any ideas for spooky season that they would like to see, let me know. I want to do something but I haven't had any worthy ideas. Maybe something to add to the HOOL collection.
