"how you doing baby" asks Zoey
"wha- ….. oh right sorry I'm still adjusting to this four girl plus me thing, ya I get about two hours of color now which has me excited in more ways than one" says Tori
"ya it is a bit odd but I love odd, I'm happy color is coming back, you seem a lot less depressed" says Zoey
"where is everyone also progress helps" says Tori
"the students requested another bake sale, I was not invited apparently" says Zoey
"why another bake sale, the baked good are selling a lot more than they did last year" says Tori
"maybe because they're supporting you" says Zoey
"they do know I'm not dying right" says Tori
"yes of course, free recovery or not the students miss you, they thought maybe if they felt like they were helping by buying baked goods it would help somehow, people are a lot nicer here than they sometimes appear" says Zoey as she kisses Tori
"you know your kisses could use some work" says Tori
"hey I'd only been with Nicole for a few months before this started, I'm a really sloppy kisser" says Zoey
"I assume Nicole likes it that way" says Tori
"I mean I guess, it's hard to tell with her, she definitely doesn't tell me to stop, she's excitable but it's what I love about her the most" says Zoey cuddling up closer to Tori
"you know you cuddle a lot" says Tori
"is that a bad thing" asks Zoey
"by all means cuddle its just my dad was almost always at work, I'm not used to people being all touchy feely, with Cat and a Jade there is no middle of the road, it's either on or off for their emotions, which I honestly enjoy a lot but it's nice to have people around who just wanna cuddle, it's a nice middle ground, not sexy time but also not leave me alone territory, it's different, is it possible that Nicole is a speccy" says Tori
"what's a speccy" asks Zoey
"unfortunately my brain decided to use slang, is it possible Nicole is on the autism spectrum, some of her behaviours seem to fit" says Tori
"ya she's in denial of that link but it has crossed my mind a few times, though the majority of her behaviours fit ADHD a lot better, you rarely see her in a focusy mood, it's gotten to the point that she needs to record her lessons so she can do the homework, her memory is terrible, she often contradicts herself" says Zoey
"I do that as well, more often than not I say something wrong or mis-state something" says Tori
"but your memory is supposed to be photographic" says Zoey shocked
"even a professional camera can be wrong on occasion, how often is a professional camera ready to go right away when you open the box, not often, there is setup and configuration to do before you can do anything, also just because my memory is sharp doesn't mean my hearing is the same way, in fact I often mishear things" says Tori
"what's an example" asks Zoey
"my dad once asked me to wash the dishes but I heard wash the tishes, I literally spent two days looking for tishes who needed a bath and because I have such a good memory and only Lola to back me up I often fought him on it when I was asked why I didn't do what I was asked, we eventually realized that wires were getting crossed so he started writing out my chores and showing them to me instead of speaking, you know as if I was deaf" says Tori
"but your hearing is doing fine now though, you seem to be able to hold a conversation ok" says Zoey as Lola walks in
"there is a lot going on in my head to accomplish that, hey Loa what's shaking" says Tori
"I just heard that a company called Strenacore has come up with some really cool color blindness glasses, you know just in case something changes" says Lola
"Strenacore is a scam company, I once bought a laptop for two grand from them and received a toy laptop, it wasn't what they advertised it as, trust me don't buy it, for all your genius and emotional stability you really get pulled in by a lot of scam deals" says Tori
"I do not" says Lola upset
"really so the real hair is what you wanted for that play or the time you borrowed dads credit card to buy a violin and got a four inch piece of string, ya dad wasn't impressed" says Tori
"you were always the golden child to him, it's not a fair comparison" says Lola
"we might as well be identical twins Loa, I got into tons of trouble, remember the time he told me to wax the floor and I bought candles and covered the floor in burning candles and almost burned the house down" says Tori
"I heard about that but I might have been at science camp" says Lola
"ya they didn't want me because I made a mistake on one flipping equation, the answer was right but they didn't care about that, I never even got a chance to explain the mistake" says Tori
"they were strict that year because people had cheated the summer prior, it wasn't anything against you, so anyway how are your eyes" says Lola
"my eyes themselves or my perception of color" asks Tori
"well your eyes look fine, maybe a bit dry but fine, I'm more concerned about color" says Lola
"it seems to vary by day, yesterday I had almost three hours, today it stopped at two but honestly I'll take this as long as I need to to get better, having my girls by my side really helps, makes me feel loved and hopeful you know" says Tori
"so it's in the two to three hour range, that's good to see in such a short period of time, I'll let the eye doctor know so she can give me an estimate on how long this might take" says Lola taking out her phone and walking up the ladder to her unit
"shouldn't it be longer by now" asks Zoey
"a stable two to three hours Zoe, I'll get flashes of color for the rest of the day, like ten minutes ago, I could see your beautiful eyes, your well kept hair and your beautiful skin in all its colourful glory" says Tori
"but it's gone now isn't it" asks Zoey as she nuzzles Tori
"honestly yes but I don't mind it coming and going because I know I'll get it back again, and honestly even if it ends up failing and I lose all color I know now I can count on you guys to stand by me….., you and Nicole won't leave me right" says Tori
"we love you too much to just walk away, it would take a lot to tear us away from you now, we've committed, Nicole may be skiddish but she's loyal to the extreme, not even pronny can convince her we aren't loyal to her" says Zoey
"pronny" asks Tori confused
"you know those online video things that you touch yourself to" says Zoey
"ooooohhhhh those things, ya I promised my dad I wouldn't watch those" says Tori
"crap he's a lawyer isn't he, does he know about our arrangement" asks Zoey nervously playing with Tori's hair
"yes he's a multiple wives person himself, only three…. well two now given Lola and I's mom is gone, bless her soul but he only had kids with our mom, Gina and Jaclyn always said it was a mutual agreement, quite similar to ours actually, as for my dad he always says love is love and as long as nobody breaks any laws to make that agreement then nobody can stop it" says Tori
"is that why you didn't hint at all that we should join this lovely relationship" asks Zoey
"exactly why, while technically it wouldn't be wrong or illegal for me to bribe or coerce you to join because we are the same age but my dad also has a saying about morality, he'd say that just because something is legal doesn't mean it's moral, besides as a student council member I am in a position of power, so all I did was give you a motivation to move in, if you remember I never said anything about kissing as a requirement for living here, when I told my dad that he proudly said that's my lawyer daughter" says Tori
"I thought you wanted to be in fashion not legal" asks Zoey intrigued
"I'm a lawyer's daughter, I'll always have legal speak in my head however that just means you won't see me committing any crimes, at least not unless I'm hopelessly desperate of which I'd hope I'd be stopped before I get there" says Tori
"did your dad teach you law stuff growing up" asks Zoey
"not like real law stuff but I have a strong sense of right and wrong, also I don't feel right taking donations most of the time so I usually offer food or something of value in return, to me it just feels wrong to take someone's money without giving something back, maybe it's a character flaw, maybe it's nothing but it just feels wrong" says Tori
"you dance don't you" asks Zoey
"you know that's my dirty little secret right, I was hoping nobody would know, I love to dance, how do you even know about that" says Tori
"you dance and sing in the shower, apparently I'm your diamond, Cat is your dress, Jade is your hair and Nicole is your cute hat" says Zoey as Tori hides her face
"I was really hoping nobody heard that, I love love music but I can't write good lyrics to save my life" says Tori
"this new girl Alexis seems to write good music, she can't sing, maybe she could write you some music, the music teacher is impressed with her ability to write music" says Zoey
"I don't know I don't usually get along with new people" says Tori
"you got along with me perfectly fine" says Zoey
"I have a bit of an active imagination, I was imagining you naked, for some reason it calms me down imagining people naked, I'm a bit of a freak that way" says Tori
"hey if it keeps you calm why stop, also never call yourself a freak, screw social norms, do what makes you happy" says Zoey as Tori starts looking at her and running her fingers along her body
"if you say so baby girl" says Tori as she pins Zoey down
With Cat
"ok this bake sale is insane Catarina, who makes all this food, how much did you make today" asks Alexis
"they're Tori Vega's recipes, she makes some pretty good food" says Jade
"we don't disclose how much on the same day as the sale, though it's more than we could have made in a month last year" says Dana
"well we can't help but feel sorry and hopeful that she gets better, my dad had a similar situation with me, lost color in my eyes and he did everything he could to try and get it back so I could live a normal life, only to later learn that he destroyed Tori's vision to try and magically get mine back" says Alexis
"wait you're Tori's cousin you look nothing like her" says Cat
"I hate how people always say that, I'm a Martinez not a Vega, I'm her third cousin, my dad was nuts but I loved him, I didn't know he'd do that to Victoria, my name is Alexis Vera Martinez, trust me Lola and Tori will go nuts when they hear my name, they thought I was dead, my mom kept me hidden, for my own safety" says Alexis
