A/N: In which Tori and Jade do an experiment,,

"This is so dumb," Jade sighed, watching as Tori sat on the ground on a towel, staring at the frying pan in front of her on the ground. "And not to mention gross."

"You know you're curious. Or at least were as a kid," Tori said, not looking up from the frying pan.

"You know how I feel about eggs. And as for the stupid saying, nope. It's just a dumb thing people say to complain about the heat."

"Well, since it's been in triple digits this last week and a half, don't you think it's a valid thing to be complaining about?" Tori asked. "And a perfect reason to try this?"

Jade sighed. Tori had her about the temperature, but the fact that she was trying to fry an egg on the sidewalk due to those high temperatures was still something she barely wanted a part of.

"I think you're supposed to actually do it on the sidewalk, like how the saying goes," Jade said.

"I didn't think my parents would like that, so I improvised," Tori said, finally looking away from her cooking experiment up to Jade, still scowling down at her. "Easier clean up, even if I have to wash a pan afterwards."

"That's literally not— okay, whatever," Jade said. "Not gonna argue with you. Just satisfy your urges with the stupid egg already so we can go back inside. It's so fucking hot out here."

"If you didn't wear all black..." Tori began, but bit her tongue as Jade's scowl intensified. She looked back down at the frying pan, and saw a little progress had happened.

While the egg never really got 'fried', it still looked slightly cooked, which was enough for Tori. She nodded to Jade, who uncrossed her arms as Tori grabbed the handle of the pan to stand up and go back inside where it was cool.

"I guess it's not hot enough to fry an egg on the sidewalk, but it's still hotter than it has the right to be," she said.
