Disclaimer: I do not own VicTORIous. Just Carlos, Kira, and Jace, but they're not real, just based off real people and animals.

After a 20 minute drive, Carlos makes it to the Vega house with the hair dye and some extra stuff he brought with him in a small bag. Knocking on the front door, he was greeted by Cat, who seemed to have more energy than usual.

"You made it! I'm making Jade try on various outfits. She says she hates them all, but I think she'll look pretty in all of them. Fallow me! I'll take you to where the others are!"

Being led by the energetic redhead, Carlos makes his way to Tori's room. Seeing the guys outside the door, and Tori nowhere to be seen, he talks to the guys, waiting for the girls to finish.

"So, how long have you guys been out here? Please tell me someone's taking pictures before Jade can change out of them?"

"Hey Carlos. We're out here because Jade's changing in Tori's room. As funny as it would be to take pictures, she took our cameras and phones before she went inside."

"You're no fun André. Anyways, I brought the dye, and other supplies." Upon saying that, Carlos gets a wicked smile, just as Tori and Jade leave the room, the clothes Cat brought in Tori's hands, and Jade back in her usual black garb.

"Look who finally made it. No dog?"

"Ah, Jade. Kira stayed home. Besides, I didn't want your face scaring my innocent dog anymore than it already has. Now," Carlos says before Jade can counter. "are you ready for your make-over?"

"Fine. Give me the dye and I'll be back."

"To make sure you don't cheat and dump it, I think someone should go in there with you. How about Cat? You seem to trust her enough."

"Yay! Your hair is gonna be so pretty Jadey!"

Before Jade could say anything, Cat pulls her towards the bathroom, hair dye in hand. As they walk away, Jade can here the others laughing at Cat's nickname for Jade.

"We'll be downstairs Cat!" Tori calls to her friend and frienemy.

"KK!"

As the get downstairs, Beck, André, and Jace head to the couches, while Tori and Carlos go to the kitchen to chat, Carlos keeping an eye on the bag he brought with him.

"Hey, Carlos?"

"Yes cousin?"

"What's in your bag?"

"Glad you asked. Hey guys, come here. I got some stuff to show you."

As the guys walk to where Tori and Carlos are, Carlos takes the stuff out of the bag. The items are:
two bright pink hair bows, a small bell tied to a pink ribbon, and a pair of socks with pick fuzzballs on them.

"Dude, she's gonna kill you. You know that right?"

"Don't worry, André. I can handle myself. How long does it take to dye hair, anyway?"

"A while. I'd say give them a few more minutes or so. Of course, that depends on if Jade hasn't drowned Cat. I'll be back in a minute." With that, Tori gets up and heads to the bathroom that Jade and Cat went to, leaving the guys downstairs.

"I got to ask. Why do you have these things?"

"You see, André, the bows and bell were supposed to be for Kira, but I refuse to put them on her. The socks, I really don't know about them. They were in my suitcase, so I'm guessing the girl I lived with before I moved here put them in to mess with me. I decided to grab them when Jace went to drop me off."

"I have to ask, seeing as no-one else will. How long have you liked my ex?"

When Beck asked that, Carlos became silent. All he said before the girls came down was that he finds her interesting, but refuses to say anything else.

As the girls walked down the stairs, all anyone could hear were Jade's feet stomping on the floors, automatically getting everyone's attention. Turning around, the guys started to laugh, causing Jade to glare at all of them, her focus on Carlos the most.

"Go ahead and laugh. Don't forget, I will get revenge. hey Vega. Why'd you look like you were trying not to laugh when you walked in to check on me?"

"Well, you see, um, I uh..."

While Tori was stuttering, Carlos walked over and grabbed the stuff he brought with him, and handed them to Jade.

"Don't forget these. The bows are for your hair, obviously. The bell is for your ankle, so everyone can hear you coming. The socks are just extra. Enjoy. Oh. and Tori was laughing because she knew I brought these. I'll be nice. Wear the bows and bell for three days, and you won't have to worry about the rest of the week. Not including today. I'm gonna go, see you all at school."

With that, Carlos heads home, leaving a fuming Jade in the Vega's living room.

A few minutes after Carlos leaves, Jace decides to leave as well, afraid of the look in Jade's blue eyes. Beck and André leave soon after Jace, and since Robbie chose to go home instead to Tori's (with a glare from Jade before he could do anything anyways), only the girls were left.

"Come on Jade, you're staying the night with me, that way I can make sure you wear the clothes. Bye Tori, see you in the morning."

"I'll meet you at my car Cat. I need to talk to Vega real quick."

"KK. Don't hurt her Jadey."

After Cat closed the door, Jade looks at Tori, anger in her eyes, making Tori flinch.

"He-hey Jade. What's up?"

"What do you know about Hayley? I want to know why it's such a sore subject with him."

"All I can say is that he really cared for her, and he was with her longer than you and Beck. I don't know why he decided to shorten the dare, but I do know why he focuses on you. I promised him I wouldn't say anything, so that's it. Please go, you're scaring me with that look in your eyes."

With a sigh, Jade heads out, thought running through her head. Telling Cat to drive home, she wonders about why Carlos acts the way he does, and who Jace and Beck were talking about before.

At his apartment, Carlos looks t Kira, thinking about the dare he's making Jade do at school, thoughts of cancelling it crossing his mind.

"I'm gonna regret this tomorrow. Wish me luck Kira. I may have ruined it before it had a chance to start."

A/N: I will start getting some couple together over the next few chapters. To FurryFriends143, the couple you asked for will be forming in the next chapter, and that's may cause the other eventually. To Gunner3284, thank you for showing me my mistakes and I hope I fixed what was confusing you with the last chapter. Thanks to everyone that's reading and reviewing. My computer is acting up, so I won't be able to update for a while, but I'll try to.
