December 1st
"I don't know about this Tori, the four of us, it's just a bit too odd for me" says Lola
"look I can't work on my music AND make sure she feels safe, it was her idea and she's become really attached to you guys, if you can't join us in love then at least help me take care of her while I release my first album" says Tori
"we can try your way but if at any time Zoey wants out of a shared relationship then I must also back out, however we will still stay here unless Zoey wants to leave, her mom just died in surgery last week so everything she wanted here has been moved here, her and her dad don't get along that well, Dustin was forced to make a choice when her and I started going out, in fear of being thrown out of the house he sided with his dad, a decision he regrets making, Zoey feels at home here" says Lola
"that was a flip I wasn't expecting, I was expecting a hard no, as was Cat" says Tori
"it's not like I haven't seen you naked before, besides my mom isn't as closed minded or as strict as David thinks, I'm an up and coming amazing actress and even I couldn't hide something from my mom, if she wasn't spooked by that then why would she object" says Lola
"what secret are you keeping from me" asks Tori
"remember when I kissed you for three minutes" asks Lola
"yeah, you said it was the result of a dare" says Tori
"it was, at PCA after Zoey and I started dating Chase asked me if Zoey died who would I date, he stipulated no repercussions, I said if I could choose anyone and not be arrested for it, then it would be my cousin, you in fact, I've always admired you, no matter how hard Trina tried to knock you down you always came back stronger, he was the one who dared me go kiss you, what I didn't know was that he'd informed mom about the dare, I'd expected her to send me off to some far off place, instead she talked about it with me, apparently the base issue of their fight was because she had feelings for him, she knew it was wrong but he protected her from creeps so it was bound to happen, you lit a fire in my heart I never want to light again" says Lola
"so what's your rules, how's this going to work" asks Tori
"look but not touch rule, the same you have with Trina, we can be civil about this, unlike our parents" says Lola
"the only reason Trina proposed that rule is because she can't do her back in the shower, she can't clean her back so we'd shower together, she'd clean my back and I'd clean hers, that's as far as that went" says Tori
"the same can apply here, your body is beautiful Tori, as beautiful as your soul, you should know I will probably stare" says Lola
"your mom is going to freak, nobody is that open minded" says Tori
"is it wrong of me to wish they could be together" asks Lola
"no but you know they can't be, they'd be in jail" says Tori
"you know there is a line when it comes to dating, kissing is not dating, not if we don't expect more" says Lola
"you're suggesting we should be allowed to kiss Lola, I don't know about that, that would be too far, we look to similar not to be called out as being related, my dad's a cop, he'd never allow it" says Tori as they head upstairs
"hey how'd the talk go" asks Zoey
"good, we came to an agreement, I get time with you and Cat gets time with Lola, if at any time you feel like you want out your wishes will be granted and You and Lola will no longer be with us, her wishes however is that we're allowed to kiss as long as it's only kisses and I don't agree with that" says Tori
"it would be kinda cute Tor" says Cat
"yeah but Tori has a point Cat, they look too similar, if anyone found out they'd be arrested, David wouldn't have a choice" says Zoey
"not if it's a dare, you said Chase had dared Lola to kiss Tori before, maybe he could do it again" says Cat hopefully
"no he won't, he moved to new York after Lola and I started going out, changed his number, the dare wasn't about anything other than trying to be alone with me so he could try and convince me to go out with him, Logan might though, he was the only one supportive of Lola and I dating, considering he was the biggest creep at PCA by trying to get into my pants it shocked me" says Zoey
"Logan isn't as evil as he seems Zoey, he would hit on us because we were in the closet, he didn't know we were gay, he might be the only person I know who wouldn't have an issue with daring family to kiss, especially if it means he can hang with us after, he's been sleeping on friends couches for the last year and a half" says Lola
"what does he want to watch or something" asks Tori
"no, he was kicked out of his dad's mansion after he openly supported Zoey and I going out, his father believes that we are faking being gay so he was kicked out and his family credit card cancelled, while I'm sure he would love to watch he won't, he respects us" says Lola
"would he respect my privacy, I'm almost ready to launch my first album, I don't need him trying to make some sort of deal where he gets one night with me alone, that's just creepy" asks Tori
"he might ask but he won't take anything he isn't given, he's come out as ace so he's unlikely to do anything, should I invite him over" says Lola
"you can invite him yes but he doesn't enter this room without consent" says Tori
45 minutes later in the living room as Logan arrives
"hey Zoe, I'm sorry for everything I did to you at PCA before you started dating Lola, I should have known better" says Logan
"does Chase hate me" asks Zoey
"I wouldn't know, he won't talk to me either, last month I told him he should apologize for what he said back then but he won't, that's when he cut off communication with me" says Logan
"are you really Ace" asks Cat having put three layers on
"yes, my dad hates me for it, I appreciate you guys letting me stay here" says Logan
"I'm about to release my first album, my dad can't be here all the time, when people find out I released music he fears the house will be swarmed, could you help with that, like be our security guard" says Tori
"would I get paid" asks Logan
"I only need the security if my album takes off, but I'm sure I could scrape up enough money to pay you if it doesn't" says Tori
"I'm with Quinn if you can't pay its not a problem, her inventions are making her rich" says Logan
"Quinn isn't the type to let you sleep on friends couches, not if you are dating" says Zoey
"her family doesn't approve of me, I have no money now and she's making tons, I'm only allowed to see her once a month and I'm supposed to pay for the date, which I can't afford" says Logan
"then how have you been dating then" asks Lola as Jade and Trina head out on a date
"she pays and lies to them about it, she's hyper-sexual, being away from me does more harm to her than good and before you ask no I'm not dating her for the money, it was my idea for her to patent and sell her scientific stuff, back before I was basically disowned, she was struggling to pay bills, now she help others" says Logan
"what about Dana and Nicole" asks Zoey missing her friends
"all I know is they're together, they took Michael with them to Alaska for summer vacation, Michael returned to PCA for this school year and Dana and Nicole chose not to return, he said it had to do with escaping a bully at PCA" says Logan
"yeah they fought too much not to have been in love, being gay at PCA is basically a death sentence, they went from openly accepting us girls there to just tolerating our presence, that's why Lola and I left PCA" says Zoey
"yeah tons of people left, they don't have enough students to fill one dorm now, I think they got the message loud and clear because this is the last year anyone will be spending at PCA, they're closing down and selling the property, nobody on campus knows if they'll even make it till June, I was removed from campus because my dad refused to pay for my application for a dorm room so I have to do everything online, so as your security Tori would I get a room here" says Logan
"yes but it's not very big, I hope you don't mind, it used to be Trina's walk in closet, which was accessible from the hall and her room, now only open from the hall" says Tori
"so just big enough for a bed, I can live with that" says Logan
"bed and dresser, is Quinn coming to visit" asks Tori
"tomorrow yeah, she's excited to see you guys" says Logan
"but she doesn't know Tori or I" says Cat
"her cousin Cassie is a friend of the Vega's, specifically Trina, she knows about you guys" says Logan
"ohhh Cassie Pensky, yes the Pensky's are a great friend to the Vegas, she was my friend growing up, then she almost died in a car accident when we were twelve and she was constantly afraid people would come to kill her and I so I had to offload her onto Trina, it would explain why Trina's always so crabby" says Tori as Trina and Jade walk back in
"stupid rain, ruined my date plans" growls Jade
"Trina what's your Impression of Cassie Pensky" asks Tori
"I was always under the assumption she had a crush on us, being the only survivor in a crash where she had friends in the car, Tori it changed her, she won't admit to anything, but she has tells that tell the truth, which is why I believe she has crushes on us" says Trina
"that actually explains a lot, I had a crush on her till she got paranoid about people being out to kill us, was I wrong to hand her off to you Trina" says Tori
"no not wrong, maybe a bit insensitive but not wrong, you have a tendency to be easily spooked" says Trina
"do you guys love her" asks Cat
"I mean that was what the date plan was, to get to know her but she's afraid of the rain, it's actually kinda cute" says Jade
"wait seriously, Trina I thought you didn't want a trio" asks Tori
"I lied, I didn't know how you felt about poly, I know dad isn't fond of it so I lied, I almost began to believe it, it's hard feeling something in your heart that you know could get you arrested" says Trina
"he's not as against it as you think, his personal life is separate from his professional life, he's already talked to the chief about my situation involving Zoey and Lola, the chief said that as long as it's not malicious or hurting anyone dad doesn't have to report it, the look don't touch rule is in place" says Tori
"oh well then Cassie is in the car, can I bring her in" asks Trina
"if you can get her out of the car yes, she's always been afraid of the rain, mainly because of the Thunder and lightning, if you can get her out of the car take her to your room immediately, it's the farthest from the storm and where she will feel safest" says Tori as Trina goes to get Cassie
"you seem to care about her wellbeing" says Jade
"she was my first friend and first crush Jade, so yes of course I care, she will always hold a special place in my heart but I had to move on, she refuses to get help for her C-PTSD Jade, even though my dad offered to cover the cost, she is like cat in many ways, the difference is Cat acknowledges she has issues she can't understand or fix by herself, Cassie is unwilling to admit that her trauma is beyond what she is capable of fixing, had things been different, had she not let her C-PTSD control her life I would have been ecstatic to have her by my side, I had to accept that I can't fix her and you guys need to understand that you can't fix her either, I failed the final test, if you can love her for who she is then you will pass the test" says Tori
