This chapter takes place after 'The Great Ping-Pong Scam'. It starts with when Tori gives Jade back her dress, after they're done with eating and before they leave the restaurant.
Some of you gave me some good ideas, and I might use one or two of them. Unfortunately, the ideas for 'iParty With VicTORious' won't be used. I already have those chapters written. The idea for during 'Tori Gets Stuck', where Jade goes through Tori's medical records, will be used. Thank you to protogenxl for the medical records idea. The chapter with that idea will be coming soon, a couple of chapters or so after the 'iParty' chapters.
Thank you for the reviews, follows, and favorites.
Random observation: Does anyone realize that in 'Prom Wrecker', when Tori digs for the shrimp in her bra, she digs basically to under her breast? You can see where her fingers are searching for the shrimp, and it looks like it's under her left breast, based on how she digs and pulls it out.
Disclaimer: I don't own 'VicTORious', 'iCarly', or any of the characters.
No POV
"Give me back my dress." Jade says, standing up from the table and dragging Tori to the restrooms to change clothes again.
"You could say please, you know." Tori sighs out, being dragged along the fancy restaurant.
"I could. But I won't." Jade says, opening the women's restroom door, tossing Tori in. "Take off my dress." She demands, taking the 'ping-pong uniform' off and tossing them to Tori.
"Fine. Fine. Relax." Tori says, trying to unzip the dress. "Can you unzip it for me? I can't reach it." She asks, turning around.
"Ugh." Jade groans, dragging the zipper down. "Now give me back my dress and fishnets." She demands as Tori slides the dress off.
"Fine. Here you go." Tori says with a sigh, handing Jade the dress and slipping the fishnets off that Jade gave her to where.
"Took you long enough." Jade says as she puts the fishnets on.
As they get dressed, and Tori zips up the dress with Jade's demand to since she unzipped it for Tori, Tori's phone goes off, Tori picking it up when Jade yells at her to because she finds the Latina's ringtone annoying.
"Hello?" Tori asks as she answers her phone, zipping up the uniform shirt.
"Hey sis." Shelby says, a smile heard on her voice.
"Hey. Thought you were busy all night?" Tori asks, putting her shoes back on, ignoring Jade's questioning look.
"Rod let me out early." Shelby explains. "What are you up to? You still at that dinner thing?" She asks, Tori hearing a metal door closed.
"Yeah. Just about ready to leave." Tori answers, tying her shoes. "You leaving yourself?" She asks, keeping the question vague because of Jade being close enough to hear still.
"Yeah. Just got out of the shower." Shelby answers. "Juan's dropping me off because my car's in the shop, something about the brake line or something." She says, not knowing the full details, never being one for cars.
"Hope it gets fixed." Tori says with a laugh at the dismissive tone her twin uses. "What?" She whispers to Jade, putting her free hand over the mouth piece as she hears Shelby talking to her trainer.
"Who are you talking to?" Jade asks, her questioning gaze never leaving.
"A relative." Tori responds, not giving away gender or what kind of relative.
"Who? Your annoying sister or something?" Jade says with a scoff, leaning against the sinks.
"Something like that." Tori says, louder than she intended.
"Hey! I am not annoying." Shelby says, offended.
"Not you. We're talking about someone else." Tori says with a laugh into the phone, rolling her eyes.
"Oh. Okay. I gotta go. Juan's giving me the 'hurry-the-hell-up' look." Shelby says with a laugh.
"Okay. Talk to you later. Bye." Tori says, a laugh of her own, hanging up when Shelby says 'bye'. "Why do you keep looking at me like that?" She asks Jade as she pockets her phone.
"What kind of relative? It wasn't Trina. That wasn't her voice. Sounded like she was close to our age." Jade says, her eyes shining with curiosity.
"She's just a close relative. That's all you need to know." Tori says, leaving the restroom and heading for the table her friends are still at.
"I know you're hiding something." Jade says, annoyance in her voice. "I will find out." She says as Tori takes her seat, glaring at the Latina.
"Not easily." Tori counters, sipping her water. "Where's Sikowitz?" She asks André when Jade's about to say something.
"Getting the van. We already payed. We were just waiting on you two." André answers, giving the Goth and Latina confused looks. "What happened when you changed?" He asks, his eyes on Tori in an attempt to avoid Jade's glare.
"A relative called, and Jade wants to know who." Tori says, standing up. "We ready to go?" She asks, looking at the others as she pushes her chair in.
"I'm not done with you, Vega." Jade says, standing up and leaving her chair out, Beck pushing it in after he does his.
"Doesn't mean you'll find out who called." Tori says, walking to the door, Cat and André beside her.
"Why do you care so much?" Beck asks Jade when André holds the door open for everyone.
"Something in Vega's eyes and voice. She's hiding a secret, and I will find it out." Jade says with a smirk, following Robbie and Rex out the door.
"Again, why do you care though?" Beck asks, not knowing why his girlfriend is so focused on a call between relatives.
"I just am." Jade answers with a growl. "I'm sitting up front." She says when Robbie goes to take the passenger seat.
"But I called it on the way!" Robbie whines, giving Jade a pout.
"You made out bill too much to pay. Try me again, and you're being dragged back to Hollywood Arts." Jade says, pushing past Robbie and sitting down, ignoring Sikowitz confused look as she slams the door.
"What is her problem?" Sikowitz asks the others as they pile into the van.
"I'm sitting right here, you know?" Jade asks the teacher with a glare.
"Yes, but they're more likely to answer me." Sikowitz responds, not effected by Jade's tone and glare.
"Nothing. She's just being Jade." Tori says, laying her head on Andre's shoulder. "I'm tired." She explains when everyone but Sikowitz and Jade give her a questioning look.
"When did you two start dating?" Beck asks with a chuckle when he sees how André doesn't mind in the slightest.
"Who's dating?" Cat asks, confused.
"Vega and André." Jade says with a smirk, turning back to face the road.
"We are not a couple!" Tori exclaims loudly. "People really need to stop insinuating that." She says with a sigh, closing her eyes.
"No need to sound so insulted." André says in a fake-offended tone.
"You know I didn't mean it like that." Tori says to her best friend.
Sorry for the weird ending, and for the Tori/Shelby moment to be shorter than usual. I wanted to start more on the Jori a bit more for now.
Next chapter will be based on the episode 'Sleepover at Sikowitz'. After that, I'll do the 'iParty With VicTORious' chapters. Those chapters will be the longest so far, it'll be my attempt at keeping the 'iCarly' characters seen more, as well as build up the Tori/Shelby bond, as well as Tori/Jade friendship, then relationship when it gets there.
Thank you for reading. Hope you liked it.
Blessed Be.
