Happy birthday to Five Pies To The Face.
I mention that Tori, and Shelby, don't like snakes. I bring this up because I guess it'd be wrong, since I saw a pic of Victoria Justice, around the time she was a part of 'Zoey 101' where she had a snake on her shoulders and she was making a kissy face with the snake. Am I the only one that would probably freak out if there was a snake on me? I never liked snakes.
Sorry, random fact.
Thank you for the follows, faves, and reviews.
This takes place where the last one ended and is entirely in Jade's point of view.

Jade POV
"I won't tell Tori you like her." Shelby says, opening the door with a small smirk and walks in, acting like Tori again.
"What? I don't..." I say, following her in. "What the hell are you talking about M...Vega?" I say, correcting myself from calling her by the last name she's known to the world to have.
"We'll talk later." Shelby says as Sikowitz walks in.
"Good evening, class." Sikowitz says, tossing his bag aside.
"It's morning." Shelby says, sounding close to Tori. Apparently, no one else noted the slight difference between Tori's and Shelby's voices.
"Oh. Then good morning, class." Sikowitz says with a smile. "How is the play coming along?" He asks us, staring at us.
"What play?" Shelby asks, and I can tell her confused voice isn't fake.
"The play I had you all come up with a while ago?" Sikowitz asks, looking around the class, particularly at our little group.
"Didn't you say you were going to edit the script we turned in and get everything ready? We did our part." Andre says from behind Shelby.
"No I didn't." Sikowitz says, shaking his head side to side.
"Uh, yeah. You did." Beck says with a nervous chuckle. "You interrupted us practicing one day and we got it on video." He says, staring at the balding teacher.
"Prove it." Sikowitz says, not believing us.
"Show him the video." I demand Andre, reminded of when we did the same thing, showing someone a video to prove what we were saying to them, during the whole Dale Squires thing.
"Oh, so I did." Sikowitz says once Andre is done showing him the video of him interrupting us in the Black Box Theater. "I should probably get started on the script then since Helen wants us to put it on at the end of next month." He says to himself, making his way back to the stage. "Okay, improv. Tori, Jade, Cat, Beck. To the stage." He says, stepping aside to where he tossed his bag.
"If you forgot what improv is, I'll make you regret it." I threaten Shelby as we head to the stage.
"Give us a location." Sikowitz calls out, sipping from his coconut.
"The zoo." Cat says with a giggle.
"Someone who's not performing the scene." I tell Cat, speaker to her like she's a child.
"Can we go to the zoo later then?" Cat asks, staring at me.
"Maybe." I say as I hear Robbie say from his seat 'zoo', earning a clap and giggle from Cat from Robbie agreeing with her.
"Now, a situation." Sikowitz says, writing 'Zoo' on the white board with his coconutless hand.
"Escaped animals." Andre calls out.
"Good. Good." Sikowitz says, writing it on the board. "And, action." He says, moving to sit on the chair Cat was sitting on a moment ago.
"What are we going to do about all of these animals?" I say, acting like we're hiding in a guard shack or something.
"I don't know." Beck says, keeping a safe distance from me since the break up. "How did they even get out?" He asks, acting like he's freaking out.
"Where are your keys?" Shelby asks Cat, pretending to pat Cat's waist and pretending not to find her key ring.
"Uh, I lost them?" Cat says, more like a question, as she hides her face.
"Dangit, the snakes are out." I say, glancing up.
"Ooh, I hate snakes." Shelby says, shivering.
'Guess she's either pretending to act the way Tori would, or she shares that with Tori.' I think to myself.
"Me too. They're so creepy." Cat says, basing her character on herself I guess.
"We'll be fine. They can't get in here. All the doors are closed and locked, same with the windows." Beck says, assuring Cat.
"Uh, then why is the window open and a Python is slipping through?" Shelby asks, eyes widening in fear as she stares at the window where she's picturing a snake in the window.
"Aaaah!" Cat says, jumping up and tackling Beck. "Protect me, Beck." She says, hiding her face in his shoulder.
"Cut." Sikowitz says, cutting me off. "Cat, screaming in fear will only attract the animals. They say snakes can smell fear." He says, nodding us off the stage.
"Hey, so can Jade." Rex says from Robbie's lap.
As I pass Sikowitz on my way to my seat, I glare at Robbie and Rex, smirking when Robbie lets out a fearful gasp and Rex groans out 'Oh man, you peed on me again'.
"Okay, okay. Andre, Robbie, Sasha, Aria." Sikowitz says, sipping his coconut on the stage. "To the stage."
As the four do their scene, a family at a picnic that gets attacked by bees, I lean over and talk to Shelby.
"I'm impressed." I whisper to her as the scene plays out.
"What do you mean?" Shelby asks with a whisper, looking at me.
"Your acting. I'm impressed you didn't make a fool of yourself." I whisper back, smirking.
"Tori's been teaching me." Shelby says with a blush. "You coming over after school?" She asks, eyes on the scene as Andre pretends to get stung by a bee.
"Yeah. We need to talk, Marx." I tell her, growling a bit.
"Technically, my last name is 'Vega'. I just used our mother's maiden name when I fight." Shelby tells me as the scene ends with Aria, a girl with curly brunette hair trips and Andre catches her.
"Good. Now, do whatever until class ends while I go over the script." Sikowitz says, grabbing his bag and leaving the classroom.
"Five. Four. Three. Two." I countdown, pointing at the door instead of saying one.
"Who stole my coconut?" Sikowitz says, pushing the door open and staring accusingly at me.
"You left it on the stage." Shelby says, pointing at the coconut.
"Oh. Bye." Sikowitz says, grabbing his coconut and climbing out the window.
"He's weird." Shelby tells me in a whisper as the rest of the gang make their way over to us.
"So, any plans for after school?" Beck asks us, a little awkward around me, but otherwise okay.
"I'm helping Vega with her acting. She wasn't supposed to play herself on that skit." I say, smirking at Shelby.
"Hey!" Shelby says, staring at me.
"Don't kill her, Jade." Beck tells me, patting my shoulder.
"Five. Four. Three." I start counting down again, this time because of Beck touching me.
"Yeah." Beck says, removing his hand at 'three'.
"I'm not gonna kill her." I say with a roll of my eyes. "I just don't want to be embarrassed by her hanging out with us all the time." I say with a shrug.
"You're taking this easier than I expected." Andre says, staring at me and Beck.
"What?" I ask, staring at him.
"The break up. The first time you two broke u, you were acting kinda crazy. The second time, you acted like he was trash to you. Now? Not bad." Andre says, staring between Beck and me.
"And why are any of my relationships so important to you?" I ask, staring at him.
"Because, as you kinda stated with Tori, we hang out all the time. We're friends. Or acquantences, in some cases." Andre says, shrugging his shoulders.
"Well, it's none of you business. If our past break ups were still so okay, then why should this break up be any different?" I ask him, glaring at him.
"I still want to go to the zoo." Cat says, breaking the tension.
"Maybe this weekend." Shelby tells her, pulling her into a hug, one that makes me feel slightly jealous.
Okay, so I do have a thing for Tori.
Now how the hell did Shelby Marx figure that out?
Any spelling mistakes are mine alone.
I don't know exactly how many chapters will be a part of the Body Swap arc. I was originally planning for three to five, but it might be more than that now, might be the same. Don't know.
Updates will be sporadic. I'm in the process of finding a new job and possibly a new place to live, so I don't know how often I'll be able to update.
Thank you for reading, and again, happy birthday to Five Pies To The Face. Hope this was a nice birthday present.
Blessed Be.
