Author Notes: Well, To all my American readers, have a Happy 4th of July, here to celebrate with you are Jade and Tori, who like everyone in the USA else are celebrating the holiday that brought upon the birth of a nation.

Nothing else to say but read an enjoy.


Jade and Tori were in their backyard, enjoying some meat that the Latina was cooking on their grill.

"How is your hot dog, Jade?"

"I hard worst, Vega."

"Oh, ha ha." Tori replied sarcastically. "I'll have you know I'm a pretty awesome cook!"

"I think you mean hot cook."

"You're just saying that because you want to kiss the cook." The Latina teased. "You know, like my apron says."

"Although that sounds like something I would my mouth to be tasting, I do mean it literally Tor." Jade said. "You're on fire."

Tori turned around and much to her surprise, she saw that the grill somehow had flames, the size of a bonfire.

"EEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKKK!"

Tori tried to turn off the fire using her apron but Jade having foreseen this, calmly grabbed a fire extinguisher from bellow the table and put the fire out on the grill, unfortunately leaving their crispy food in less than edible conditions.

"This Vega, is why we often have to eat out." The Thespian said with an eye roll. "You suck at cooking."

"Hey!" Her wife replied offended. "I do not!"

Jade silently pointed at the grill.

"Ok… Fine…" Tori relented. "I'm not the best."

Having known her spouse since high school, Jade had a sixth sense when it came to Tori's emotions and right now the thespian had the inkling that the Latina was feeling down.

Jade wrapped her arms around Tori's waist, to try and give the younger woman some comfort, Tori turned her head to look into the blue-green eyes of her wife who stared back with the equal amount of love.

"Don't worry about the cookout Vega." The brunette said. "You suck at cooking that's no shocker."

"You should be a motivational speaker Jade." The Latina said sarcastically. "You have such a way with words.

"But…" Jade said. "I suck at cooking too."

"What's this?" Tori smirked. "THE Jade West admitting she can't do something?"

"You say a word and I'll deny it till hell freezes over and then I'll file for divorce."

"My lips are sealed."

"You can keep those lips of yours close." Jade commented nonchalantly. "Or you can do something a lot better with them."

"What do you have in mind?"

The Thespian simply smirked seductively.

"Oh, I know that look." Tori said happily. "You want to go to the Park!"

"Now you're just toying with me Vega!"

"Why would I do that?" She replied. "Think of it, you and I under a tree getting cozy under a blanket where we'll see the fireworks and maybe we'll be making some of our own."

The former Goth understood the not so subtle meaning.

"You're a dork Vega." Jade said. "But you're my dork, who somehow can be devious when she wants to be."

"I learned from the best."

Without another word, Jade grabbed Tori's wrist, going to her car and towards their destination for the rest of the day.


A few hours later the sun has set in and people all around were waiting for the fireworks to get started.

The married couple were sitting under a tree, the two of them had bought some burgers and some soda, cozily resting on top of the picnic blanket.

"These burgers are so good!"

"Better than your hot dogs Vega."

"That's going to cost you Jade." Tori said annoyed.

"You're bark but no bite Tor."

"Oh yeah?" She challenged. "Wanna bet?"

The Latina then got into her spouse's personal space and bit down hard on her neck.

"YEOWWW!" Jade bellowed "Vega! WHAT THE HELL?!"

"Who says I'm not bite now?"

"Oh, you wanna play that game?" The Thespian growled. "It is on!"

She jumped towards her wife, they unfortunately lost their balance which resulted in both women rolling down the hill all the while Jade and Tori kept holding onto each other until they finally stopped with Tori ending on top.

"Oh my." The Latina teased. "Look who isn't on top for once."

"Don't be so cocky Vega." Jade said with narrowed eyes. "This won't happen again."

"Says the one who is on the bottom."

The thespian then grabbed her wife by her arms and used them to roll over which resulted in them switching places.

"Oh look." Jade taunted. "I'm on top now."

"Jade!" Tori whined. "That's cheating."

"On the contrary." She grinned. "I'd like to think of it as a victory for us."

"Don't you mean victory for you?"

"Oh no my dear Vega." Jade whispered in her hear. "For us."

Thee pale woman then kissed her wife lovingly, something Tori returned in kind as they closed their eyes making their own fireworks.

After who knows how long they parted lips.

"Happy fourth of July, Jade." Tori said breathlessly. "I love you."

"The feeling is mutual Vega."

The two women got back up to the hill, ready to watch the fireworks which were quite a sight to behold.

All the while holding hands.


This is probably not the best Jori chapter I written for this story but I just wanted to write some moments that were a perfect mixture of teasing and affection between Jade and Tori because as we know they're not like any other married couple.

All in all, what did you guys think of this one? Good? Bad? Or in between?

Constructive criticism is always accepted.

See you all on July 26, which according to the Victorious wiki, its Jade's birthday, the same as Liz Gillies who portrays her.
