Best Friends Forever

Me: Sorry about how short the first chapter was but it was only meant to set up how Tory came to be, this chapter is a bit more important to the story line.
Tory:*yells over shoulder* Heard that!
Me: *exasperated* what now?
Tory: that dino of yours is planning something!
Me: now that I don't doubt *turns back to laptop and continues typing*
Timmy: *walks into room smirking at Tory* this update is early because Madd Madds started writing the last chapter, got excited and started this one. We all hope you enjoy it.

Age 8
A young black haired girl was cowering in the corner of the school yard as a large group of boys stood around her pointing and laughing at the shorter girl. Another girl charged up pushing the lead boy over as she moved to stand in front of the frightened girl.
"This is none of your business Williams." The boy spat as he got back to his feet. 'Williams' just glared at him. The boy snorted before leading his gang away.
"Thank you." The black haired girl stood, "I'm Jordan."
"Victoria," the taller girl smiled, "would you like to play with me?"
"Yes please!" Jordan nodded. Victoria grinned.

Age 15
"No!" a black haired girl, tall for her age, gasped as she spoke to her friend on the other side of the kitchen table. Jordan, once the shortest girl in the class, towered over her average height best friend Victoria; who now went by Tory.
"I know right!" Tory answered, blowing a strand of brown hair out of her eyes before she continued, "They lied to me!"
Jordan stood and pulled her friend into her embrace.
"I don't care if you were adopted as far as I'm concerned you're the same person you were this morning."
"Thanks."
"Don't mention it."

Age 18
"You're going to military school?" Tory stared, open mouthed at her best friend.
"I want to make a difference!" Jordan insisted as Tory lowered the envelope she had been about to gift her friend.
"But I thought…." Tory trailed off, "I guess I was wrong." She put the envelope in the back pocket of her jeans.
"I'll still be able to visit!" Jordan insisted.
"No you won't." Tory sighed sitting down on her friend bed.
"Corse I will!" Jordan tried to argue but was cut off by her friends glare.
"I'm going to Egypt." Now it was Jordan's turn to stare opened mouthed at her friend.
"Egypt?" she repeated.
"Yes, what did you think I was taking the language course for?" Tory tried to joke but it fell flat.
Jordan's knees gave out and she sat suddenly on the bed beside her tearful best friend; this would be the first time they were separated since they had met ten years ago!
"I'm gonna miss you." Jordan managed to say.
"I'll miss you more." Tory answered.
The next day Tory got on a plane. Jordan went home tears still in her eyes from the goodbye and saw the white envelope that Tory had tried to give her yesterday. She opened it slowly and burst into fresh tears when she saw a ticket for the same flight that Tory had just left on.

Age 20
Lt. Jordan Mason stared hard at the passengers flooding out of the baggage claim trying to recognise her friend. She felt someone tap her on the shoulder and turned to come face to face with,
"Tory!" she yelled happily before pulling her friend into a hug. When they separated Jordan looked her friend up and down; Tory's skin was a healthy tan colour and her brown hair had lightened a few shades due to the sun, she was wearing light blue jeans and a purple turtle neck jumper. "Welcome home!"
"Good to be back!" Tory grinned.
Three months later the two were sharing a flat in London.
Three months after that Tory was recruited to join U.N.I.T. by recommendation of one of the officers. The next day Lt. Mason and technician Williams were out in the field side-by-side.

Tory: the next chapter is where the fun begins! *manic grin*
Me: Oh stuff it! *throws a pillow at her that hits her in the face*
Timmy: *sniggers*
Tory: *throws pillow at him*
Me: Stop it you two! *mutters* honestly it's like working with two year olds!
Tory & Timmy: *share an evil smile* Dog pile! *Jump on Madd Madds
Me: why do I even bother?
