"Ok, so how is this going to happen?" All seven people turned to the one who asked the question.

"I get that Rob and I are stuck here." She looked at Tori in particular. "I also get that through some strange ass fucked up reason, this world's Robbie Shapiro ended up with Vega, but what I don't get is how are we going to get passed these two weeks?" Jade asked them. "Are we forgetting that there two Robbie Shapiros now!?"

"Hey!" Robbie declared. "I'm just as screwed up here as you, Jade." He started to move forward when he felt his hand being grasped. Looking back, he noticed Tori holding his hand.

"She isn't our Jade." Tori seethed, trying to fight off her own personal feelings. "Remember. She isn't the one who has been making our lives miserable."

"Making your lives miserable!?" Jade yelled. "You're one to talk, Vega. In our world, you're the one who's making Rob and I miserable!"

"This isn't going to getting us anywhere." Quinn announced. "What we're dealing with here is a situation nobody saw coming." She looked at the broken machine. "I didn't expect my ring to blow up and get any duplicates to crossover. But we have to make this work. At least for the time being."

"So what do you suggest we do?" Jade asked. "Because this is not going to be fun."

"You think I don't know that!" Tori yelled. "You're just to blame here as anyone, Jade."

"Oh my God!" Rob yelled out as he rubbed his eyes. "This is getting us nowhere."

Robbie smirked, relaxing for the first time as he watching his double get annoyed. "Rob has a point. We need to figure out somehow to make this work without too many problems, okay? Jade, Rob, everything is gonna be fine as long as we all get along for the next two weeks."

Tori shook her head and sighed deeply. "Look, this is getting to be too much for me right now." She glanced back at her boyfriend. "I think we all need to chill. We were going to go to lunch, right?" He nodded. "Well, then let's do that. You and I and…"

She glanced at Lola. "Still up for some lunch?" Lola nodded in response. "Good. Then let's go."

"Don't think going to lunch is the way to get out of this situation, Vega." Jade argued as Rob blushed a little. "Rob and I know what you three do during your 'lunches.'"

Robbie looked at them confused. "Doing our lunches?"

Jade looked at Robbie's expression and cocked her head in realization. She had seen enough of Rob's moods to know how to read Robbie's facial expressions. Something was off again with this world. "So… wait… you three aren't dating?"

Tori's, Robbie's, and Lola's mouth hung open in shock.

"What are you talking about?" Tori asked, finally closing her mouth.

"In our world," Rob began as he motioned towards Lola and back to Jade and himself. "Lola, Jade, and I… we are sort of dating."

Lola shook her head and closed her mouth as well as she snapped out of her shock. "No! I'm not 'dating' them!" She looked at Tori and Robbie. "I… I… I'm not… I'm with Vince."

"Still?" Jade groaned and rolled her eyes. "Vince was such a chump." Jade shook her head. "The moment we met, I never liked the prick."

"He made Sinjin look like Vera Demilo." Jade smirked as both Robbies smirked as well at the name much to Tori's confusion and frustration at the fact this version of Jade knew so much about her Robbie.

Lola shook her head, "But I'm not…" She looked at Tori and Robbie again.
"We're not…"

Jade smirked when she thought about how things between Rob, her, and their Lola got so entwined, her eyes looking away for a moment.

"It all started with Andre." Tori and Robbie looked at her in shock. "I'm guessing you and Andre aren't speaking here, huh?" When they shook their head, Jade sighed, "I guess that's another wrinkle, huh?" She sighed. "Well, when Andre came and brought Rob and Sarah here, Tori decided to follow along."

Robbie snapped his head to Tori who said one word at the same time, "Cat…"

"Well, anyway. Tori came to say she was 'sorry'. She said that she wanted to try and become friends with us again." Jade smirked. "As if I would ever forgive Vega." Tori groaned at the notion. "Tori came to PCA wanting us to forgive her. Oh, she knew 'I' would never forgive her, so she tried to make it up with Rob. Hoping he would get me to accept her apology."

With everything that happened to Jade in the shed, how could she ever forgive Vega? She made her life in Yerba hell. The only good thing about her time there was how she and her Robbie got together. That was the only thing that mattered to her. Forgiving Vega would never happen, even if it was her who made the first betrayal.

"How does this have to do with me?" Lola asked. "Well, I mean the other me."

Rob answered, "When Jade first met you, she was pissed. Oh my God, she was pissed. Tori made her life hell."

"How can I ever make her life hell?" Tori demanded. "I've been nice to Jade."

"Right." Jade seethed. "'Nice.'" She edged closer with her eyes gleaming knowingly. "How did Yerba go for you, Vega?"

When Tori heard her ask that, she retreated. Not because of the question, but because of the fact that their two worlds had a lot of similarities. One in particular frightened Tori and she realized exactly what Jade meant by the question.

"Yeah, I figured you would get the point." Jade told her when Tori replied in silence. "Well, anyway, Tori went out on a date with my Beck and that happened when Rob and I went on our first date too."

Robbie groaned, knowing the moments that were being listed here. "So instead of you and Beck being at Maestro's, it was…"

"Beck and Tori." Rob finished for him, knowing what most likely happened in this world with Robbie and Tori. "Our Tori felt guilty about what happened. But as much as she wanted to apologize…"

"I could never accept her apology." Jade told them before looking at "But when Vega came to PCA and she tried to talk to us, Lola saw how we were at odds. So, she became the friend that Rob and I needed. She was everything you weren't, Vega. She just was being nice to me, trying to be my friend even though I was a bitch to her at first. I suddenly saw our Lola in a new light and things sort of went from there."

"I tried to do the same thing to you, Jade." Tori called out. "When I first came to Hollywood Arts…"

"And look how that turned out!" Jade snapped. "You still ended up with Beck. It took me getting trapped in Yerba to finally get you two together, but it happened, didn't it?" When Tori didn't answer, she looked back at Lola. "Then when Robbie and I saw the way Vince was treating you...our Lola, we spoke up."

Lola just listened as Jade explained how things progressed in their worlds and then she looked at Jade and Rob. She started to truly see the differences between the two worlds. And seeing as how Jade was the one who spoke up about Vince, she began to realize that her Tori would never speak that way about a boy, especially one that was dating her. She looked at Tori with questioning, curious eyes.

"You never liked him, did you?"

Tori sighed. She shrugged. "He's not dependable. He's not the most respectful…"

"We just didn't want to see you hurt, Lola." Robbie told her. "Yeah, Vince may be a jerk, but as long as he wasn't really 'hurting' you…but he's definitely not on the Ryder Daniels side of things."

Jade nodded. "I'll give Vega that. Ryder was a damn creep."

Lola shook her head. "So you two and 'the other me' are dating and you and Rob are okay with? I thought you two would be unbreakable."

Rob shrugged, "Doesn't mean we can't share." He turned to Tori. "If you're anything like Jade and seeing as how you and Robbie went through Yerba, we know you two are so involved. We know that you love each other and we know that you two would never break up." He looked back at Lola and smiled.

"Lola is worth bringing into your world."

Tori took a step back. She never thought she would ever be involved with another person other than Robbie. Let alone another girl, but to be involved with her and Robbie? That was just unheard of. She looked at Robbie and wondered if he even found Lola attractive. Yeah, she knew they looked alike, and she knew that he was attracted to her, but would that mean he would date Lola as well?

Robbie took a look at Lola that moment. He did find her attractive, but would he ever try and do anything? His heart belonged to Tori. He knew that. Tori knew that. And he was sure Lola knew that, but would they ever try anything together? That, he didn't know.

No one spoke for a few moments. Each of the four non-PCA initial students said anything. It was actually at that moment when Chase decided to say something… "Well, I guess this is pretty much awkward."

Zoey looked at her boyfriend and Quinn, then back at the four of them. "Why don't we go get Logan and Michael and start making arrangements for Jade and Rob."

"We know that the Hill twins went back home for a couple weeks. Zoey has to pet-sit their goldfish anyway. We can easily set the room up for them." When no one said anything else, the three of them excused themselves and left the room.

The remaining members of the group of friends just looked at one another. It was actually Rob who started to speak again. "Why don't Jade and I go for a walk?" When Robbie looked at him, Rob pointed out. "They can just see me as you. No one outside of us knows about us. As far anyone else knows, Rob and you are the same person." Robbie nodded. "Besides, we want to see just how different our two worlds are."

Jade smirked. "Don't worry, Vega. I won't do anything physical to Rob. We'll keep your life as lovebirds intact." Rob pouted. Jade grinned, "Don't worry, 'Daddy,' we'll make time up later." That said, the two of them left, leaving Tori groaning at the name.

Tori, Robbie, and Lola looked at one another. Tori approached her, "If you want, we can go grab some lunch. We got some food in the dorm."

Lola looked at them, and let out a sigh. "Rain check? I just need to think things through."

"Ok…" Tori told her. "And about what Jade said about us…"

"I need to think about this, Tori." Lola told her. "We can talk about this later." Tori was about to say something, but Robbie wrapped an arm around her shoulders. Tori looked up at him and knew that he was thinking at that moment.

"We can talk later, Lola." Tori told her. They turned around and left her alone.

Lola Martinez just slumped down on the beanbag chair. This was overwhelming. She never through she would ever be in a position where her double was in a three-way with another couple. One that had a relationship so close that she never thought they would ever allow anything to come between them. Not to mention it was worth breaking up a relationship with Vince over.

This was beyond anything she thought she would ever take part in. Well, her double would take part in. And coincidentally, that meat would she ever see herself in a relationship with two other people. Lola Martinez never considered herself to be bi. She always felt of her as straight, she always was raised that way, and she never felt she could be attracted to another woman. Let alone a woman that looked exactly like her? She knew she thought Robbie was attractive. He did seem like a guy that would be lucky to be in a relationship with. But to be one with him and with another woman? That just didn't seem likely.

Lola didn't know what to do.

This was way more confusing than she ever thought she would be in, so far out of bounds and not only she didn't know what to do...

She wasn't so sure how she felt about it either.
