Author's Note: I'm back! I love this story, and I love all the feedback. Four chapters and 14 reviews! Thank you! ScottyBgood, this story is going to focus on them growing up and maybe developing into something more. We'll see a little more of Tori and Jade in this chapter. I'm going to focus on them when they're younger a little longer, but eventually we'll get to the "terrible teens." By the way, tell me what you think of Tori's dialogue in the previous chapter. I tried to make her as much like a five-year-old as I could. Being an only child, I haven't got much experience with little kids, although I do like them a lot. I mean, come on, who doesn't? Okay, let's get to the story! Hashtag little Torade! Okay, here we go!
Year: 1999 (the same day)
Tori's P.O.V.
I walked over and sat in a big chair that was in the living room as Aunt West and Uncle Jon set the table. I offered to help, but they said no since I'm a guest. I laughed because it felt like the chair was hugging me.
"What's so funny, Tori?" It was Jadey! She was back from her friend's house! I jumped up and ran to her, wrapping my arms real tight around her.
Jade laughed, running her fingers through my hair. "Why are you so silly?" she asked me, hugging me back really hard too. I looked at her, a really big smile making me feel like my face was going to break open.
"You're not supposed to say that, Jadey! You're supposed to think I'm awesome." I was kidding. Jade laughed. I liked her laugh. It was quiet and nice, like her.
"Do your mom and dad tell you that?" I nodded my head yes. "They do. Why do adults always think we're silly?"
"No, they just think you're silly, Tori," she said, taking my hand.
I guess I should have known it would happen. It started when we were waiting for Jade's parents to cook the food.
Jade led me upstairs to her parents' room and closed the door. "Let's make a mess!" she said, this crazy smile on her face. I looked at her.
"But we'll get in trouble." Jade shook her head. "We won't tell them it was us."
Oh. That would make it different, right?
Since Jade was a little taller and stronger than me, she helped me pull a chair over so I could climb on top of it and reach the mirror over Auntie West's makeup table. I asked Jade to get me a crayon and when she did I wrote ha ha ha ha ha in big letters with Jade's help.
Jadey laughed as she helped me down off the chair.
"That's the best you can do? Really, Tori?" I looked at her, a little hurt inside.
"Yeah! I'm not as big as you are, Jade!" I heard myself almost yelling, my face going on fire. Jade reached out a hand and touched my face.
"I wasn't trying to be mean, Tor. I promise. You just looked kind of funny. Why don't I help you do something even better?"
I agreed, hugging her tightly. "I'm sorry I was a big fat meanie head, Jadey," I said, kissing her cheek.
Jade got on the chair this time after going to get her whole entire box of crayons and she drew a big scary face with vampire teeth and crazy hair and electric blue eyes (that was the crayon color, Jade told me) and green skin! It came out all blackie and weird and scary.
I laughed when I saw it. "It looks a little like you, Jadey!" I said, touching her face.
"No, it looks like you. You can kill people with your pout. I'm naming it Victoria," Jade answered me, pulling gently on my hair.
I leaned over and kissed her cheek. "You were kidding, right Jade?" "Yeah. Don't worry, I'll protect you from it."
She gave me one of her Jade hugs, the ones that made me feel all warm safe and gooey inside. "I'll protect you from it because I'm a lady knight!" she shouted, spinning me around and around, holding my hands so if I got dizzy I wouldn't fall.
I looked into her eyes. "I love you, Jadey West," I said.
"Me too, Tori. Me too."
We had finished a few minutes ago and we were spinning and talking and all in Jade's room. She has a really pretty room. It's pink and everything!
"You're room is really pretty," I told her, putting my head on her shoulder. She put her fingers in my hair, playing with it a little.
"I really hate pink, Tor-Tor. That's what I'm going to call you now," she said, laughing when I made a face.
I really didn't mind though. "Okay," I agreed. Suddenly, we heard Aunt West's voice, except she sounded really really scary. I grabbed Jade's hand.
"Jade, Victoire, get down here, now!" It sounded like she was in her room!
