"so Zoey any change in how you feel" asks Tori
"you are totally trying to sabotage a good thing aren't you" says Zoey insulted
"it's not that it's just everyone has been so kind and the surgery didn't work, not really anyway, I guess I feel like in a way I'm forcing everyone to be with me" says Tori
"how can you see, I thought your dad said you were blind now" asks Zoey
"I lost all color, I can see crisp now but I can't tell colors and the doctor said the transplant list was at minimum a year long wait and there were no guarantees the transplant would even take when my time came for it, so I just told my doctor to forget it, he had tried and failed, I wasn't going to put my life at risk again" says Tori feeling defeated
"your grades are dropping girl, you can't keep this up" says Zoey as Cat comes back from bake sale
"is tor still really depressed" asks Cat
"ya it's gotten worse, her grades are failing" says Zoey
"well when most of your test answers rely on color information it can be hard to pass anything if you can't see them" says Cat
"what do you mean" asks Nicole as she walks over from the fridge
"before the surgery she could see color it was just blurry and she took fashion this semester, which requires you to see color, we were told the surgery was a slam dunk and she'd be doing great after, but the surgery failed" says Cat as Lola walks down her ladder
"it didn't fail Cat, her latest fashion quiz results came back and she aced it, she got every single-color question right, right down to the hue" says Lola
"but I couldn't see the color, I was just guessing" says Tori
"see I don't think so, the surgery was only a week ago yet the test was two days after it and you aced it" says Lola
"what are you saying that I'm like insane now or something" questions Tori
"no no far from it, your brain can see the colours but as you say you can't see them, your body needs to adjust, I've asked your teachers to send homework and assignments over email for the next two weeks, for example what color is Cat's hair right now" says Lola
"orange" says Tori confused
"ok that's spooky because I have been talking about going purple for Halloween but landed on orange not even an hour ago while at the bake sale event thing, there is no way you'd know that I died it orange Tor, literally no way" says Cat as Dana walks down the ladder
"what color dress is Dana wearing" asks Lola getting more and more impressed
"gold, brides maid style, it looks good on her" says Tori even more confused
"ok that's impressive, I mean when Lola told me about her last fashion test results I was skeptical but Lola was right, she just can't see it" says Dana
"I spoke to your doctor Toa and he said you are to stay here, eyes covered for twelve hours a day every day for two weeks to allow the brain to recover, your girlies are to stay here as well and help you all day, in bed, with food, in any way they can for two weeks, Lola is picking up homework for you girls, if she needs you guys in bed with her do it, don't let her take it off for twelve hours a day, she's bound to get worked up down there easily being cooped up like this" says Lola
"why are you doing this Loa, I'm done taking risks, my eyes won't be the same" says Tori
"where is the risk in wearing an eye mask for a total of a hundred and sixty-eight hours spread over two weeks, no surgery, no risk Toa, just loving and calm for two weeks, Harry talked with an eye doctor on this and they believe that it could fix it completely Toa, where is the harm in trying a mask" says Lola
"I was told the surgery would fix it, what are the odds this will" says Tori as she starts crying
"near a hundred percent, if this doesn't restore the color then at least you will still be able to see, so either it gets better or it stays the same, no regression chance at all, come on Toa, take the chance, show us that fire that got you on the student council" says Lola
"fine but I want a girl in bed naked with me at all times, feeling skin calms me down, especially if I can't see for half the day " says Tori as she grabs the mask from Lola's hands
"I don't know if I can do this, that's taking it to the extreme" says Zoey
"zoe you know you want this, this is our dream, this is where you wanted it to go, she needs us now, we have a chance to change her life" says Nicole
"wait really, we can help her?????" asks Zoey
"yes why" says Lola
"I thought she was like the queen of the relationship and was therefore unchangable despite her extreme honnyness" says Zoey
"no if anything I'm a lowly princess who is actually very impressionable, you guys can take shifts if you want, don't think that just because I'm on the student council that you even have to obey my requests, you joined this thing willingly and I refuse to take away your will" says Tori
"how about Nicole and I take the first shift, we haven't had a lot of time with you and if you're taking this love further we deserve more, also don't call it a thing, love knows no bounds, love as many people as you want, don't let society determine who you can love" says Zoey
"ok but unless we're doing things I'd prefer just panties and bra and not totally naked" says Nicole
"as long as I can feel skin that's all I ask, I'm not going to be able to see anything but if you want you can always play with me, I'm not going to stop you, in fact I'd encourage it because it gives me things to look forward to while I have the mask on" says Tori as tries on the eye mask
"that works" says Nicole
"can you see anything, like are there air gaps, I've never measured your face so I can always make another one if it's too small" says Lola
"no actually it's perfect, I can't see a thing, it's soft and cushiony too, I could totally see myself wearing this to bed on a regular basis" says Tori
"comfort was my goal, our faces only differ slightly so I tried to model it on mine first" says Lola as Tori takes off the mask
"you do have beautiful eyes loa, Dana should be proud of you, you stepped up and helped me even though I didn't think I deserved it, also when I took it off just now I saw a split second of color, this might just work" says Tori
"ooh yay, go take Nicole and Zoey to your bed and keep it on over night ok" says Lola
"you really do care sis, I'm proud, ya I am kinda tired, also would the whole eye color thing explain the headaches I've been having" says Tori
"yup, now don't be alarmed but they also said the colour would return slowly, so like tomorrow you might have only half an hour of color but the next day you should get about fifteen minutes extra per day, this is based on research they did and your experience might be different" says Lola
"as long as I get color back I don't care if it comes in short bursts" says Tori as she puts the mask back on
"ok so I'll lead you to the bed, then we'll strip down to our undergarments and cuddle ok" says Zoey
"kay" says Tori suddenly more excited about her eyes
15 minutes later
"ooh your skin is so soft Zoe" says Tori
"how'd you know you were feeling me, you can't see with the eye mask on" asks Zoey
"you prefer silk with frills on your bras and panties, Nicole prefers silk without frills" says Tori
"oh Hehe I forgot about that, you want us to do anything with you or just cuddle" asks Zoey
"you can if you want, I'm kinda tired" says Tori
"but you'd be asleep, isn't that wrong" asks Nicole
"Cat likes it and honestly it helps me sleep, if it makes you uncomfortable you don't have to" says Tori
"no I'm open to the idea it's just I wanted consent first" says Nicole as they play with Tori
With Cat
"ooh I can't wait to not see her depressed" says Cat
" I know, I miss that" says Lola
"so you played with her place back then" asks Cat
"what…………….., why would you say that" asks Lola
"because she mentioned how good your hands were" says Cat
"yes ok ok you gonna kill me because I have feelings for my sister" says Lola
"no, I'm not like that, I was just curious, besides you love Dana now too" says Cat
"I really do, she's one of a kind, smart, beautiful and kind, it's a rare combo, she once told me it eats at her when she's rude, sure the rest of you girls are also on that list but Jade has anger issues, you're insecure, Nicole is shy and Zoey is sometimes forgetful, Tori has none of that, the closest she gets is being overly cautious but that's mostly because of what uncle Ronald did to us, he basically wired us up to be scared to trust anyone, in reality Tori has almost zero flaws" says Lola
"she's never said his name before" says Cat
"ya we don't like to talk about him period so I didn't just tell you that" says Lola
"you're scared of Tori huh" asks Jade
"I'm cautious yes, while she had therapy she can lash out at times, she has a hard time with stress and mentioning stressful times brings up memories" says Lola
"ahh photographic memories" says Jade
"exactly, which when I tested her eyes i asked for current information, not past information, I asked what color your hair was and what dress Dana was wearing, it forced her to focus on now and not guess" says Lola
"I have to admit, Lola is really smart" says Dana as she kisses Lola
"I was just doing what her doctor told me to do, I'm not really that smart" says Lola
"yes you are baby, you came up with this idea all by yourself, I was in the room when you called her doctor, he was just as surprised as I was, your idea your solution, you love her, sister or not, wrong or not it forced you to find a solution, a doctor would have given her meds for the depression and left it at that, you found a no med solution and based on her split second of color comment it might actually work" says Dana
"science has always been a strong point for me, I once solved the cancer problem for my mom, unfortunately because I was a child the doctors didn't trust me or believe me she died, I showed the equation and math to Tori's doctor last year when we had our physical and he was really impressed with my work, so I get paid for consultation, fifty per consult but hey it pays for my food so I can't complain" says Lola
"the science thing explains your baking prowess, you understand how things interact so you make amazing food" says Cat
"I do don't I" says Lola
