Tori POV
Today is the day. Jade has been nominated for the 'best supporting actress' Academy Award and tonight we are going to the Oscar! I can't wait! She left early this morning to go and do some rehearsal and stuff for the show, I'm so proud of her. Ok, what time is it? 9:30. Let's wake up the little monster. Hopefully today she'll feel better.

Aww, look at her! She is so beautiful when she sleeps, with her teddy bear under one arm and Scissor at her feet (Blade usually sleep with us, and I mean between us).

"Wakey-wakey, baby girl. it's time to get up"

"I'm up, I'm up! Came on, I don't wanna be late for school" and she runs for the door. Fortunately, I'm ready to catch her and scoop her in the air in order to don't let her go away before she is too far.

"Where do you think you are going?"

"I wanna go to school! I'm tired to be stuck in here, it's like to be in jail" she squirms in my arms traying to make me drop her.

"Whoa whoa! Stop moving or you are going to fall, brake a leg and then you won't go to school for sure"

"So, am I going?" she looks at me with her beautiful green eyes full of hope. What an angel. I look at her and answer: "Nope!"

"But I'm fine I promise, I swear, pinky promise"

"Ok let's make a deal: now we control your temperature and if it's good you are coming with me to the grocery store 'cause we need food and tomorrow you can go back to school; if it isn't good you are staying here with Cat and you will not see that school of yours for at least another day. Ok?"

"Which grocery store?"

"The big one"

"Mmh…and if I come with you can I get something?" I ponder the situation.

"You could"

"And could I come with you tonight?" Ok, this is the millionth time she asks to come. She is five! She can't come; she need to stay at home, rest and go to sleep at her bedtime and not past midnight, for say the least.

"You know you can't and we have been over this before: you are too young. Maybe when you are older and you aren't sick. So, we have a deal?"

"Deal!" Thanks. I pick her up and we made our way in the living room, Scissor on my heels. I put Emmie on the couch and give her the thermometer.

"ok, you stay here, sitting still for two minutes. I'm going to be in the kitchen making toricakes. Do not move I'm serious!"

"Toriiiiii, the thing is beeping"

"Are you sure baby?" I'm only asking because I know she doesn't like to stay still.

"Positive"

"Ok come here" I hear her bare feet running on the floor all the way to where I am, which is at the cockers making pancakes.

"Let me see" 97. Yes! She is finally fine!

"I'm good? I'm good? It says that I'm good, right? Because I feel good" Yeah, she's definitely herself again.

"You're good"

"Can we go now?" I've missed her hyperactivity. And no, I'm not kidding.

"Eat your breakfast and then we'll go".

"Ok, toys section, here we are" I say as I push the cart behind an extremely excited Emmie. She is literally jumping up and down. "Choose one thing and bring it to me".

"Anything?" well, we have enough money for practically everything and we don't really spoil her, so…

"Sure, we had a deal, remember?" She sprints to the stuffed animals island happily laughing and starts to look closely to each one of them.

After ten minutes let's say that it'll be funny to do something else, like, I don't know, get out of here! "Emmie, are you sure you can't make it any quicker?"

"But I can't choose" she exclaims dramatically.

"Between which ones?" I know that I'm getting in trouble with Jade by myself, but what can I do if she is the most adorable little sister in love in the entire world?

"The bear and the owl. The bear is beautiful, I love bears, it's so soft and look, it makes you smile. The owl it's funny how it looks at you and it's white like the one in Harry Potter" She looks at me with her big puppy eyes. Oh, not the puppy eyes, I should have expected it. I can't say no to them…Fine! I'll deal with Jade later.

"You know what Emmie? You behaved very well the entire morning in here, so I don't see why we can't take both" She screams in delight and jumps at my neck almost nocking me off. If this is what I get I'm very happy to do it another time.

"Thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou!"

"You are very welcome baby. Come on let's pay and go home"

We walk in our living room and I see Jade getting up from the couch probably to help me with the bags, when Emerald decide to get rid of me yelling

"Jadey, look! Look! Look what Tori bought me!" Why Emmie? It was really necessary pointing the fact that it was me, while showing in her face both the plushies, which, by the way you can't even pick up because they are almost tall as you?

"Ehmm, Tori?" See? I told you.

"Surprise?"

"Tori, why is my sister holding two gigantic stuffed animals?"

"Ok, I know what you are thinking. First of all, they are not gigantic, it's her that is small…"

"Hey!"

"Shh, let the grown ups talk. trust me. Second, we made a deal: she hadn't a fever and she got a treat for not going to school for so long. And before you ask, she couldn't decide which one pick so I let her take both because she was very good at the mall." She still looks pretty upset so I continue "But on the way back we had a talk and remebered that what really matters is the love that we have for each other, not material things. Infact now Emmie is goning to hug you really tight…" I practically push the girl on Jade "and I'm going to kiss you while I say to you that for me, this is not a big deal, right J?" Just adding the 'J' trick for safety.

"Fine" HA! "But this is the last time you bring her to the store alone. I don't wanna her to be a spoiled brat and I can't always be the bad cop here" Yeah sure, I don't think so. Give me one week and two good nights and we'll be back at the mall by ourselves.

Emerald POV

I'm at home with this new babysitter. She seems fine, but I'm not completely sure. We are watching the tv because I wanna see Jadey and Tor-Tor, they said that they are gonna say hi to me during the carpet thing. I really don't get it. I mean we have a lot of carpet in here, why it's so special walking on that one? Carpets are just fine, nothing more.

"We see them and then I'll put you to bed, all right?"

"Yeah, yeah" I know! Uff I'm five, not dumb. I can remember things, you don't need to talk to me like to a two years old. Five, not two. There is difference. Three.

"And here she comes. Actress and writer Jade West, nominee for 'best supporting actress', with her partner Tori Vega, singer and music producer" the reporter's voice comes from the tv.

"Look that's them, that's them!" Wow. They are super duper pretty and there are a lot of flash around them. They look like princesses, shining all the way to the reporter.

"It's good to see you! So, Jade, how are you feeling tonight?"

"It's good to see you too. I'm really great"

"Fabulous" who she thinks she is, Sharpey? "And tell me, you two have a really good and promising career, but I know that this is a result of a very well-oiled machine, is that right?" Hey! I'm not a machine, I'm a human being and a cute one.

"Well, yes. I had to take care of my sister since I was eighteen. At the beginning it was not simple, but I could count on my beautiful Tori here, who have never left our side. So, it's actually thanks to her if we are here tonight"

"Oh, that was so sweet. And where is your little sister?"

"She is too young to be with us, but we know that she is watching now from home and I think that Tori have something to tell her, if it's possible"

"Sure! Go on"

"We have a deal, remeber?" See? this is the way you say it

"We love you, goodnight!"

"Goodnight sis"

"Well, thanks for your time and good luck!" the tv switches off. The pie is over. I just follow Linsey in my bedroom a go to bed. At least Tori and Jade promised to wake me up when they return home to tell me how it was.

"Emmie, wake up little one"

"Jadey?" I'm so tired right now. Oh, but they are back! I slowly rub the sleep away from my eyes "Did you win?" They both chuckle.

"I did" I'm so happy! But I'm so tired. I lift my arms to make her pick me up so I can hug her.

"I knew it… and I'm so proud of you" I say while snuggling into her.

"Thanks sleepy head" she gives me a kiss on the cheek and then I feel Tor-Tor rubbing it, I think she's traying to take off Jadey's lipstick. They still are in their long and soft dresses. Jade's is blue and Tori's is red.

"Jadey?"

"Yes?"

"I didn't say it before an-a-a-n" I yawn "and I'm sorry, but you two are really pretty. Like Disney princesses. When I grow up I wanna be like you". Then I fall asleep. I don't really understand what they are saying, but I feel Jadey re-tucking me in bed and kiss me goodnight. The last things I fell are some lips pressed against my forehead, then I'm back in dreamland.
