Valentine's Day rolled around and Tori was going crazy. She had called Cat to help her pick out an outfit earlier that morning-It was now one hour till the date. "Why are you so worked up? It's only Jade." Cat said from the bed. The truth was, she didn't know. Ever since their play date when Jade had said she was pretty, she found her thoughts going to Jade more and more often. She found that she couldn't help but look at Jade whenever her mind wandered, following the girl with her eyes as she walked. "Look, I don't want to dress in something and Jade doesn't like it and ends up insulted." She rationalized. "Now seriously, help me!"
"'Kay 'kay." Cat said subserviently. "You should wear the green dress; it's really pretty and Jade loves green." She suggested. Tori picked out the dress in question-a simple, leaf green dress with a ruffled skirt and a black belt in the middle-and had to agree with her, it was really pretty. "Thanks Cat, you're right, this'll be perfect." The red head got up and gave her best friend a hug. "I'll go home. I want some cookies. Have fun on your date!" and Cat hopped out of the room before Tori could correct her. She held the dress up to her body and looked in the mirror, trying not to smile at her delight at the thought of her and Jade on a date.
Jade was in her room going as crazy as Tori, only without a Cat to help her. Half the contents of her closet and drawers were on the floor around her. She rifled through the rest of her clothes until she found a perfect dress. It was the dress Tori had taken when she sang at the restaurant to get them out of the bill Robbie had built up-honestly, who orders a soup bowl full of caviar? but Tori had said she liked the dress so she decided that this would be the best outfit for the day. After she put it on, she went to her desk and picked up an elegant, white-leather bound notebook and put it in her handbag. She took a deep breath and walked out to her car to pick up Tori. She looked at herself in the rearview mirror and said to herself, "okay west, today's the day. You're gonna tell Tori how you feel even if it kills you." And with that, she drove off.
Tori was waiting at the door when Jade got there. The pale girl was at a loss for words when she saw the Latina in her green dress. She stared for a few moments until she remembered she was supposed to talk. "Uh, hey Tori. You look… really nice." Tori blushed at the compliment and the look in Jade's eyes. "Thanks, so do you," Tori answered as she got into the car next to Jade. "So, shall we go?" Jade grinned at Tori, feeling a little more confident, "yeah, go we shall." And with that they drove off on their date.
