A/N: In which Tori and Jade come up with dramatic soap opera narratives for the lobsters in the lobster tank at the grocery store;


"I'm not doing this." Jade was adamant, standing her ground with her arms crossed and facing away from Tori.

"Come on Jade, please? It'll be fun," Tori pleaded. "There's no one even around here, so it's not like anyone will hear us."

Jade finally turned around, glaring as Tori met her with a smile. She was still standing by the lobster tank. She had no idea where Tori had come up with such a ridiculous idea , but she grudgingly had to admit it did sound like fun at the same time. She finally sighed, and nodded.

"Fine, but just for a little while," she said, turning around and leaning down. She looked among the lobsters in the tank before pointing to one that was by itself in the corner.

"He's pining after that one," she said, pointing to a lobster that was more in the group, "but she's never even noticed him because he's such a loser."

"It's because she's got her eyes on him," Tori continued, pointing to another lobster, "but he's got a girlfriend. And doesn't know she's cheating on him."

"She's seeing this one," Jade pointed. "She's a lesbian but has to be quiet about it so they won't get caught."

"And this lobster knows, but was sworn to secrecy because she's got her own dirty laundry," Tori said, pointing to another lobster. "She's pregnant with this one's baby, and the only other one who knows is—"

"What are you two doing?" Trina's frantic voice cut Tori off. "I told you to go find the ingredients, not talk to the lobsters!"

"We're not talking to them, we're making up soap opera narratives for them," Tori corrected. "And we have a whole storyline going already. Like—"

"Tori, I'm sorry, but I just don't care. Please, go find these things so we can leave and I can get ready for my dinner date," Trina said, before turning and hastily walking to another aisle.

"How did we get stuck with going to the store with her again?" Jade asked, her grumpiness returning.

"She said she'll give us $20 to help her, so..." Tori said with a shrug. "I guess maybe we should get on that and not risk losing the money."

She and Jade both gave the lobster tank one more look, their confusing narrative already mostly forgotten, but nevertheless hilarious. Then they left to help Trina with the groceries.
