Disclaimer: I do not own VicTORIous. Just Jace and Carlos.
At the end of the day, Beck decided to change the plans a little.
"Hey, how about we have a camping trip tonight instead? Talk to your parents to see if they're okay with it first, then call me. We can take my RV, that way we can all go in one vehicle. I can just attach my truck to the RV, and we're set."
"I don't mind, but if we're camping, mind if I bring my dog? She won't cause problems, as long as no one gets too close to her at first. It takes her a bit to get used to people, and I've never let her meet more than two at a time." Carlos asks, a curious look on his face.
"I see no problem. Al long as she doesn't pee in my RV, I'm good."
"Sure." "I see no problem." Everyone seemed okay with it, except for Jade, who didn't say anything at first.
"She better not jump on me or anything. I won't be held accountable for what I do if she does." Jade finally answered, after a few looks between her and Cat.
"Trust me, Kira doesn't even jump on me, so you're good. And in a way, you will be held accountable, seeing as how it's you whose acting."
"Whatever. We going or what? I'll take Cat home to get her stuff, then I'm going home to get mine. Where are we meeting?"
"How about my place?" Beck decides afer thinking for a few seconds. "What we can do is have Jace pick up André, Robbie, and Carlos. Jade, you pick up Tori after you and Cat get your stuff, then drive to my place."
"Why am I picking up Vega? She can walk."
"Fine, how about this then. You can pick up André, and Jace will pick up Tori. Everybody okay with that?" Beck says to his ex, a little annoyance showing in his voice.
"Fine. Be ready at 4:30 André, I won't wait any longer."
"Fine by me. Let's go home and get our stuff then." André says, giving Jade an annoyed look.
Around 3:45, Jace decides to call Carlos.
"Hey, I'll be there in about 15 minutes. Make sure you got everything you need, for you and your dog. I hope she doesn't pee in my car, by the way. I just got the interior done last week."
"What kind of car do you have anyway? You never showed me."
"You'll find out when I get there. I'm serious about her in my car though."
"I'll be outside with Kira, and don't worry, she won't pee in your car."
After they hung up, Carlos makes sure everything is ready. He looks at Kira, his German Shepherd/Collie mix, rubs the top of her head, and grabs his stuff to leave. Looking back, he tells Kira to come, causing her to immediately fallow him out the door, getting a chuckle out of Carlos as he closes and locks his door.
Meanwhile, after everyone else informs their parents about the plans and get the okay, they all get ready. Around 4:15, Tori collects her things and calls Jace to let hem know she's ready, and he informs her that he's on his way. As André gets into Jade's car, shortly after she yells at him to hurry up, even though she was a little early than she told him she'd be.
Thirty minutes later, everyone is outside Beck's RV, getting everything planned. The decide that André and Robbie will sit with Beck and Jace in the truck. Carlos, having his dog with him, is in the RV with the girls, making him noticeably uncomfortable.
"Why so uncomfortable, Carlos? I thought you'd be happy to ride with us girls." Jade says, amused by how out-of-place Carlos looked as the get into the RV.
"None of your business, little West. My comfort is of no concern to you."
"Little West? Is that what you just called me? Oh," she says, adding a little laugh at the end. "How am I 'Little'? Care to explain that?"
"Not really. Don't mind me as I listen to my PearPod. If anyone other than Tori and Cat try to disrupt me, Kira will let me know, understood? Good." He says before anyone can say anything, as he puts his ear buds in and turns up the volume, keeping a hand on Kira for comfort.
Almost an hour later, they finally reach the campgrounds. Not knowing what to do, the girls left Carlos alone with Kira. Outside, André notices someone missing.
"Jade, what did you do to Carlos?"
"What did I do? I didn't do anything. He's listening t music, he wouldn't say anything and his stupid dog just looked at me the entire time, like I was lunch."
"Maybe she know you were planning something. You did look like you wanted to hit him or something every once in a while."
"Shut up Vega. Go get your cousin and his dumb dog. I'm looking around."
"Gank." As Tori whispered that to Jade, she goes back into the RV to get Carlos, but jumps when he's sitting by the door, no ear buds in, just petting Kira.
"Oh, hey. I was just coming to get you. Ready to go?"
"Yeah, lead the way T."
A few minutes later, after a failed attempt by Robbie, Carlos lights the bonfire, cheating, with some matches he brought with him. "You never know when you'll need fire." was his only defense.
As Jade walks back to the campsite, she hears Jace and Beck talking to each other, after excusing themselves from the group momentarily.
"Look, Jace, out of everyone else here, you know him a best. Ask him why he rarely looks at her."
"Trust me, I already know. Things ended poorly with his last girlfriend, and many similarities between the two girls. His ex, Hayley, really messed him up with the breakup. He sees the similarities, and that's why he won't look at her."
"That sort of makes sense, I guess. But she's bound to notice sooner or later."
"I'm surprised she hasn't already. Anyway, let's get back to camp. I'll talk to Carlos later. Maybe I can get him to talk a little more."
As the guys walk back to camp, Jade stays behind the tree she used as cover for a little longer, mulling over what she just heard.
"Carlos is still not over his last girlfriend? I can kind of relate because of Beck, but we're friends now, but that's us. What girl reminds him of his ex? One way to find out." With a grin, she makes her way back to camp as well, a plan coming together to find out what she wants to know.
"Let's play a game. Truth or Dare." Jade says from the trees, causing everyone to jump, and Kira to bark at her.
"I don't see why we would. Isn't that game just used to embarrass people anymore?"
"Oh relax, Jace. It's just a little game. Unless you're all afraid to play?"
"Screw it, I'm in. Might be fun. Kira, stay close to me girl." Carlos says, getting his dog to almost sit on his lap.
"Fine. Let's play."
"I may regret this, but fine. Tori, truth or dare?"
"André, why did you pick me first?"
"Something to do."
After everyone laughs at Tori, she finally decides. "Truth."
"Do you remember anything about your cousin?"
"Not really. I haven't seen him in almost 13 years or so. My turn to pick. Jade, truth or dare?"
"Dare, Vega. I can't wait to see what you come up with."
"I dare you to..."
A/N: Sorry for the cliffhanger. Please review, and if you have any ideas for what Tori can dare Jade, let me know. Again, thank you to FurryFriends143 and Gunner3284 for the help. Until next time.
