Disclaimer: Nope. Still not mine, even though it will be my birthday tomorrow, , I don't own it. Can someone buy it as a birthday present for me? Just kidding. :)

Author's Note: Hey! I'm back! I fixed the mix-up some people were kind enough to point out last time. Chapter 7 is now chapter 7, I think you'll really like it. Please go back and read it, because this chapter will make a lot more sense if you do. My birthday is tomorrow! Woo! I will be sixteen. Okay, on with the chapter!

Year: 1999 (the same day)

Tori's point of view

"I think you'll really like the zoo," Jade said to me as we walked out of the house and towards the car. "There's gorrillas and lions and tigers and my favorites, snakes and black bears."

I looked at Jade real scared. "But bears are big and scary, and snakes are gross and can kill you."

I knew all about them. I had seen a show where a bear attacked a little girl my age and a snake went all around a big man's throat and killed him! I know what they do.

Jadey squeezed my hand. "Not always, Tor-Tor," she said, sounding a little older than she is.

"Animals only hurt you if you hurt them first. Like if you were walking down the street and I came and pushed you, wouldn't you push me back?"

I thinked about it for a few minutes as we got in the car and started the twenty minute drive to the LA zoo. I turned to Jadey.

"Yes I guess you're right," I told her.

"Like always?" Jade answered me. I made a face. "No, not always, Jadey!"

Jade moved her head up and down.

"Yeah, no one's always right."

I looked her real long. "Not even Mama and Daddy?"

"Nope," Jade answered, making a popping sound with her mouth. That made me think of the boys who play games, which made me get a real awesome idea.

"Wanna learn a new game, Jadey?" I asked my friend. Jade thought a little, then moved her head yes.

"Okay. You have to look at stuff and say I spy with my little eye."

Jade smiled.

"I know this one! Okay, I spy with my little eye... a little girl with fangs and orange hair and a dragon made of lollipops!"

I made a mad face at her. "No, Jade, that's not how you play! It has to be real things!"

Jade shaked her head. "No. be an individual, remember?"

"I guess." I hugged her real hard,

Jade hugged back. "You know, Vega, you're all right."

I giggled. She sounded like those detectives people I saw on TV. "You too, West," I answered.

As soon as we got to the zoo, we went to see the gorrillas, which were just big, scary monkeys. Jade squeezed my hand. "You're okay. You're fine," she whispered, touching my hair.

"Are you sure you're six, Jade?" I asked her. Jade smiled. "I'm seven today. It's my birthday."

I hugged her and quick gave her my lollipop. "Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Jade, happy birthday to you!" I singed real loud.

Jade smiled and made a face at the same time. "You're singing is... different." We looked at more animals and then went to the petting zoo. I got to touch a bunny and a goat and a baby sheep-Jade told me it's name is a lamb- and Jade made me touch a real live frog! Gross but fun! Be and indivudual! Jade was right!
