Tori and Jade enter the rust junkyard.
Tori: Is this a race?
Jade: Keep up.
Tori: How many times are you going to get pissed at me this week?
Jade: That depends on you. And how well you do in this phase of the test...
Jade: Welcome to American Rust, my home away from hell.
Tori: Raw and rough. It suits you...
Jade: Tori, do you know how awesome this is? I get my best friend back, and she's also supersized?
Tori: We don't know for how long.
Jade: Exactly why it's time to have fun.
Jade pulls out the gun.
Tori: Are you kidding? After yesterday, I'm kinda over guns, Jade. It freaks me out that you have one.
Jade: Don't you trust me?
Tori: Yes, but not that gun.
Jade: You have more power than an army. Don't be scared of my little toy. Besides, we need it for the test...
Jade takes a sip of the beer bottle in her hand, then offers it to Tori.
Jade: Drink?
Tori: Yuck.
Jade: You are so cute. You haven't changed a bit. Okay, let's do this. Can you find five bottles while I prep the shooting range?
Tori: Beer and guns? Nice combo.
Jade: You can handle it. Now go find us five bottles? Pretty please?
Jade sets up the shooting range while Tori collects bottles.
Tori: (thinking) A lot of dead cars here, I wonder why Jade likes this place even though her dad died in a car accident.
Tori notices a shed at the end of the junkyard.
Tori: (thinking) There might be some bottles there.
Tori enters the shed.
Tori (thinking): This looks like a graffiti museum for Jade and Emma... I bet I can find out more about Emma here...
Tori notices a pemplate of the Vortex club party.
Tori: (thinking) Hmm, Emma did go to a Vortex Club party, this flyer is dated right before she disappeared.
Tori notices a graffiti on the wall,
"Emma was here
Jade was here"
Tori: (thinking) I don't wanna intrude but I was here.
Tori writes "Tori was here" beneath Jade's and Emma's names.
Tori :
Good now we are officially a trio….. we just have to find Emma.
Tori sees some pictures on the table of Jade and Emma having fun.
Tori: (thinking)They really were besties, That could have been me with Jade instead of Emma.
Tori returns to Jade and gives her the bottles.
Jade: Thanks, Tori.
Jade places the bottles on the shooting range.
Jade: Wait-one more for the road.
Jade takes a sip of beer from the bottle in her hand before placing it on the range with the others.
Tori: You're serious about this...
Jade: We're going to shoot all these bottles without wasting a single bullet. Tori, you have to help me aim. Show me the way, Tori.
Tori: I need to see you shoot first.
Jade fires the gun and misses. Tori rewinds.
Jade: Show me the way, Tori.
Tori: Aim a bit to the right.
Jade: Sir, yes, sir!
Jade fires the gun and hits the bottle.
Jade: Oh, yes! Did you see that shit, Tori?!
Tori: Duh.
Jade: That was so fucking cool! Now for the second bottle.
Jade: Now, Tori, where do I aim?
Tori: You're on target, pull the trigger.
Jade fires the gun and misses. Tori rewinds.
Jade: Now, Tori, where do I aim?
Tori: Aim slightly above.
Jade: Right between the eyes...
Jade fires the gun and hits the bottle.
Jade: Watch out, Ryder! Now, that is fun. Let's pump up the volume and find me another target. I want to get creative here...
Jade: Give me something to shoot, Tori.
Tori: Let's take out this wheel rim on your left.
Jade: Taking out the wheel rim now...
Jade shoots the wheel rim. The bullet ricochets off it and hits the third bottle.
Jade: Hella yes!
Tori: Nice shootin', Tex.
Jade: Now that's what I'm talking about!
Tori: Satisfied?
Jade: Like, never. So I want a cooler trick shot...
Tori: How about using that junker for a target now?
Mas: How about aiming for the left tire?
Jade: Adios, spinning wheel of death...
Jade fires the gun. The car falls onto the shooting range, crushing the remaining bottles and landing upside down.
Jade: I cannot believe this is for reals! My best friend is a superhero! Now it's your turn to bust a cap.
Tori: I don't know...
Tori's nose begins to bleed.
Jade: Tori, your nose. Damn...
Tori: I...don't...feel so super...
Tori collapses in Jade's arms.
Jade: Tori!
Visions of the tornado flash through Tori's mind.
Tori and Jade sit on the hood of a rusty car. Tori's head rests on Jade's lap as Jade holds her. Tori slowly wakes up, slightly disoriented.
Jade: You freaked me out there. Do you feel any better now?
Tori: A little. Thanks for helping me, just...give me a minute.
Jade: Too much action for Arcadia?
Tori: Maybe not enough. This is kinda fun. Scary and stupid, but fun.
Jade: Let me know when you feel okay.
Tori (thinking): God, this power really messes with my head. Glad I feel normal again. I better go chat up Jade.
Jade: Okay, looks like you're ready to lock and load.
Tori: I don't know about this...
Jade: Are you afraid of getting in trouble? Oh, boohoo, Tori is afraid! I know you can handle this. And I'm here to guide you. Make me proud Vega!
Jade gives the gun to Tori. The dog owner from the diner approaches, and Tori quickly hides the gun behind her back.
Frank: Hey, it's Thelma and Louise. Or is it Bonnie and Clyde?
Jade: Excuse us, Frank.
Frank: Oh, sorry, Jade. Don't let me get in the way of your bonding. I heard the gunshots and the breaking glass. It's cute that you're playing with guns. Just like me at your age.
Jade: We're not anything alike, man.
Frank: We both need money. In fact, you need it so bad you owe me a shitload, don't ya, Jade? Huh?
Jade: You'll get your money.
Frank: Don't they all say that? Y'know, even when they're broke and acting tough...
Frank looks at Tori.
Frank: What're you hiding there, girlie? Let me see!
Frank points at Tori and Jade notices the bracelet on his wrist.
Jade: Where did you get that bracelet?
Frank: A friend. And it's none of your goddamn business. You're my business now and I-
Jade: That's Emma's bracelet! Why the fuck are you wearing her bracelet?!
Frank: Calm yourself, alright? It was a gift.
Jade: No, it wasn't! You stole that shit! Give it to me right now, asshole!
Jade reaches for the bracelet. Frank pulls out a knife.
Frank: You better step back before you regret it, girl. I mean it. You want me to cut you, bitch?
Frank and Jade look over at Tori, who is pointing the gun at Frank.
Tori: Please...please step back.
Frank: You're kidding. Put that down.
Tori pulls the trigger, but the gun is out of bullets.
Frank: That is hilarious! Oh, man... I'll remember you, kid. I'll remember you almost shot me. And you'll wish I had no memory, because I never forget. You have until Friday to pay me. Don't ever pull crap like this again. It'll be the last time you do. Try bullets next time, brainiacs.
Frank puts the knife back in his pocket and leaves.
Tori: Sorry.
Jade hugs Tori.
Jade: You were awesome. Thanks for standing up for me...Let's blow. My secret lair didn't feel secret today. At least Frank is gone; he won't fuck with us again. He just wants his money.
Tori (thinking): Jesus, I almost shot this guy and now he'll be more dangerous to Jade and me.
Tori and Jade leave the junkyard.
Jade: I still can't believe you pulled a gun on Frank. That was epic.
Tori: It felt awful... I'm glad there was no bullets in there-
Jade: You can just rewind time in your hand and stick that barrel right up Frank's ass! You have the power!
Tori: You're gross. Don't fall.
Tori and Jade briefly hold hands, then let go.
Jade: I'm just glad you were here.
Tori: Me too...I think. Jade, why the hell are you hanging around scary losers like Frank? It's weird.
Jade: Let's take a break and I'll talk.
Tori and Jade lie down on the train tracks.
Jade: Feels like a different world, huh? I wish we could stay forever...
Tori: Can we build another pirate fort and keep the world out?
Jade: We need a new secret hangout... At least Frank wouldn't find us... Are you okay, Tori?
Tori: I'm still freaked out about what happened... That was awful, Jade.
Jade: I'm sorry. But Frank isn't as hardcore as he fronts. All he cares about is his cash, stash, and mangy dog.
Tori: Jade, did you see what just happened? I almost shot him! I know I could rewind, but, Jade, this is not playtime. No more guns.
Jade: Tori, I know. Crazy shit is the new normal for me. That's why I planned to leave Arcadia Bay without paying Frank off...
Tori: Now, tell me exactly what's going on between you and Frank-does he have a last name?
Jade: Frank Bowers. He's just a dealer. Where I get my weed. The one in your joint, remember? Anyway, Frank and I kind of hung out.
Tori: Hung out? You don't mean you...
Jade: No, we didn't have sex. Gross, man. He never even tried. I just made the mistake of borrowing money so Emma and I could bail outta here...
Tori: That's it?
Jade: No. I want to know how Frank got Emma's bracelet... What do you think?
Tori: I think we have to be careful. And keep an eye on this guy. Without him eyeballing us, okay?
Jade: It's so weird talking to you about this insane crap. We haven't hung out this much since we were tweens...and it's like no time has passed. I wish Emma was here to meet you.
Tori: Do you think that Emma and I would have been friends?
Jade: You're not that different. She had-has a great eye for images and for art. Plus, she's a smartass like you. We would all be hella best friends forever.
Tori: I know she must be as cool as you are. I have no doubt we'll meet soon.
Jade: Railroad tracks always make me feel better...I have no idea why...
Tori: Kerouac knew. It's the romance of travel and movement...the sound of the train whistle at night...
Jade: Look at the beat poet here.
Tori: I'd rather be a good photographer...
Jade: You are. You just have to stop being afraid...
Tori gets up to take a picture of the mid-morning sun framed by the structure of a nearby water tower.
Tori (thinking): Perfect...
Tori holds her head in her hand as the flashing visions of the tornado return. The vision ends with Jade calling for help.
Jade: Tori!
We see Tori holding her head in pain as she comes out of the vision to discover Jade is actually calling for help.
Jade: Tori? Help! I'm stuck!
Tori: Hold on, Jade!
Tori grabs Jade's hands and tries to pull her up from the tracks but it doesn't work. She tries to free Jade's boot, but it is caught in the track switch, which had moved at some point during the vision. Tori hears a train horn in the distance.
Tori (thinking): What's that noise? The train...oh, shit!
Jade: Please get me outta here!
The train gets to the point where the person at the controls sees Jade, and activates the emergency brakes. The steel-on-steel grinding grows louder as the train approaches.
Tori is forced to rewind as the train reaches Jade
Tori sees an equipment shed but it's locked, She finds a crowbar near and uses it to open the equipment shed door with it. She takes the pliers from the shed and comes back to Jade.
The train is getting close again so she uses her rewind powers again.
Jade: Please get me outta here!
Tori opened the fuse box and cuts the red wire, this unlocks the switching lever, which Tori pulls and frees Jade.
Tori and Jade wait for the train to pass, as they are on opposite sides of the track. After the train passes, Jade hugs Tori.
Tori: You okay?
Jade: You saved me again! Crazy. Now we're totally bonded for life!
Tori: Damn, that was close.
Jade: Aren't you glad I took you away to a nice quiet, desolate spot?
Jade and Tori hug as they walk back along the tracks.
Tori: It was cool to spend time in your lair, but...I have to get back to school before my next class...
Jade: Since you're the mysterious superhero, I'll be your faithful chauffeur and companion.
Tori: My powers might not last, Jade...
Jade: That's okay—we will. Forever.
