In which Jade gets frustrated with the Roomba,,

Tori looked up from her phone as soon as the rapid beeping had started; she knew what was coming next. A moment later just as predicted, Jade's shout came from the bedroom of their apartment.

"God, where is the fucking Roomba now?"

She almost got up to go help Jade locate their little robot vacuum in its third moment of distress from being stuck somewhere that day, but instead stayed in place on the couch, listening to Jade mutter (and swear once or twice) more to herself as she presumably searched around their bedroom.

A few long seconds later, Jade's search seemed to end as the beeping suddenly stopped, and Tori couldn't help but smile to herself as she heard Jade's next words.

"Aw, poor Roomba, how'd you get stuck there?"

She was still beaming when Jade came into the living room a few moments later.

"What?" she asked, making a face as she sat across from Tori in the easy chair.

"You love the Roomba," Tori said in a sing song voice.

Jade snorted. "I do not. I was just rescuing it again because it somehow got stuck under the bed this time and you know the beeping drives me crazy."

"Yeah, but you still talk to it like it's a pet or something and I love it."

Jade snorted again. "I talk nice to it because it vacuums for us. That's all."

"Okay, Jade," Tori said, going back to her phone, as Jade picked her own up to continue what she'd been doing. It didn't last long, as the beeping began from somewhere else in the apartment, and Jade groaned as she got up to once again go locate their little Roomba, mumbling to herself how difficult it was being today.

Tori couldn't help but smile again as she heard Jade's voice go sweet a moment later as she once again rescued it from wherever it had gotten stuck this time.

Tori Vega: I just heard Jade shout, "God, where is the fucking Roomba now?" and then two minutes later, more quietly, "Aw, poor Roomba, how'd you get stuck there?" This time it was 'stuck' under the bed.

A/N: Double post today because the inspiration for this came because my Roomba was having a hard time a bit ago and I felt like Jade would relate to the struggle. Thanks for reading!
