Author Notes: Well my dear readers this is it… The final chapter of Jori Holidays, I want to thank Lady Anaconda for helping with this idea, you rock my friend!

"You sure you are okay Tori?" Andre asked.

"I'm fine."

"That doll was important to you-"

"I said that I'm okay!" Tori snapped impatiently. She sighed. "Besides, I'm a bit too old to still have some headless doll in my closet, anyway."

"I still can't believe you actually parted with it." Andre said. "I remember you once made a fuss when your sister held it for ransom back in high school."

"Like I said, I'm too old for that stuff." Tori replied, looking down at the wrapped gift box in her hand. "Besides, I think it was worth it."

"Honestly, I didn't really think anyone other than Jade would want a doll without a head." Robbie pointed out. "And with that 'replacement head' it looked more like a mutant baby alien than a girls' doll! What sort of creep would actually want that! No offense, Tori."

Tori merely rolled her eyes. She too had doubted anyone would want a beheaded Kuddle Me Kathy doll, no matter how rare it was, but fortunately the collector didn't really care about that. He liked collecting beheaded toys for some strange reason. Some people have bizarre hobbies after all, just ask her wife.

Once the boys dropped her home, Tori looked down at the gift box. "Would Jade like it? She better, because she just parted with an old childhood memento!"

Tori shook the thought out of her head, repeating to herself that it was just a dumb headless doll.

The living room lights were all on. Most of the lights were on, and there was a pizza box alongside their favorite soft drinks on the tea table. Tori felt her mouth watering just as her stomach growled faintly, remembering that, in her hurry, she didn't get to have lunch.

Jade was on the couch, seemingly taking a nap or so the Latina thought as she got a scare from her wife.

"About time, I was about to eat the whole pizza myself." She suddenly jumped. Her voice sounded serious, but there was the faintest hint of a smile in the corner of her lips.

"Very funny," Tori replied, sitting down next to Jade as she sat up on the couch. "Don't tell me you spent all day sleeping!"

"I would have if Trina's off-key singing hadn't woke me up." Jade growled. "When is she leaving?"

"She said it's only for a few days."

"Right, and two months ago she said the same thing. Are you sure I can't sneak into her room and cut her hair?"

"Don't even think about it!" Tori chided. "The last thing we need in my sister staying longer because someone made her bald."

Jade huffed, disappointed. "Point take ." She smirked, and before Tori knew it, her wife's arm was wrapped around her in a half-crushing-embrace. "Happy anniversary."

"Happy... Anniversary!" Tori managed to speak in-between breaths. "Um… Can you let go of me now?"

"Aw, but you're so cute when you're helpless."

Tori managed to hold up her gift box and wave it. "Unless you want me to die from air deprivation you won't be getting your present!" Thankfully, this was enough for Jade to let her go. Tori took in deep breaths of precious oxygen. "What do you eat to be so strong?"

"wouldn't you like to know." Jade teased. "So, can I have my gift now?"

Tori frowned, moving her box away. "Hey, I don't see anything for me. What? Did you forget to get your dear wife a present?"

Jade rolled her eyes.

"It's our first anniversary Vega." Jade huffed. "There's no way I was going to forget that a year ago today we got married."

With that being said, the Thespian walked up to the wardrobe, grabbed the present she had gotten for her spouse and returned to the couch. She gently hurled the item into Tori's lap. It was a medium-sized gift box wrapped in yellow paper with a red ribbon. "Happy?"

Tori smiled, satisfied, and held out her present. "There! Doesn't it feel good to give gifts?"

"Whatever you say you dork." Jade said with an eye roll, as she grabbed her present.

Curious, Tori brought the box to her ear and shook it. It wasn't very heavy. As she heard Jade ripping her gift box open, she followed suit and crumpled the wrapping paper into balls, throwing them to the ground and eagerly opening her box.

The grin on her face disappeared as she saw a head. With a frightened yell, she dropped her box to the ground and jumped unto the couch.

It took her a moment to realize that there was no blood splattered around the floor or her pants. Warily, Tori sat again and picked up the box to take a peek inside. It was a head, alright, but it not from a human "Thank God" It was a doll's head with blonde hair, bright blue eyes and red lips. It looked kind of familiar…

Her stomach dropped.

"T-This is a… It's a… Kuddle Me Kathy doll's head…" She thought in amazement. "Why did Jade give her this? She's always made fun of my 'obsession with an old doll' ever since their high school days, so why?"

"This is kinde creepy."

"You keep a headless doll and you say I'm the macabre one?" Jade teased.

"It's not just any doll! It's from Kuddle Me Kathy, my favorite childhood toy!"

"More like the Headless Me Kathy Doll."

"For your information, it used to be the prettiest doll ever!..." Tori shot back "That is until Trina held it hostage and accidentally sat on her head and crush it! That ass of her is a menace!"

Jade knew how much Tori loved that toy doll and must have bought her the head just so she could have it complete once more. But she had no idea that she'd just…

Tori managed to cover her mouth before a sob escaped her.

"Oh, Jade… It's…"

She didn't hear the usual snicker or solid burn. In fact, Jade hadn't made any sound at all. Jade was just staring down at her now-open gift box with an unreadable expression.

"What is this?"

"Um… It's a new polishing kit for your one-of-a-kind scissors." Tori said. "It even comes with a limited edition case."

"It's… nice."

"You don't sound so happy."

"Sorry, but…" Jade rubbed her temple. "I don't have the scissors anymore."

Tori blinked once, then twice. "Did I just heard what I think I heard."

"What?"

"I… I spent most of my money from my last project and didn't have enough to buy you the doll's head… So I exchanged it at the pawn shop to get enough for your present."

Tori turned to her wife, agape. "She had…?" She sold her diamond blade scissors, perhaps the only think she loved more than her, to buy her a present?

Tori felt terrible.

"Oh, Jade…" she sniffled. "It's so… It's so nice of you! B-But…" Tori closed her eyes shut. "Trina spent all of my savings on a purse, and I didn't have… I had to… I sold my Kuddle Me Kathy doll so I could buy your kit."

She felt Jade's eyes on top of her.

"You sold it?"

"Yes."

"You sold the creepy headless doll you were so obsessed with?"

"I did."

"To buy me a present?"

"Yes, I did!" Tori snapped unintentionally but quickly regained composure.

There was a long, tense silence.

"Wow."

"Wow what?" Tori asked, turning to her wife with a quizzical expression. Jade's usually emotionless expression had a mild hint of surprise.

"Honestly, I thought I'd have to see that doll in the wardrobe for the rest of my life. I never imagined you'd… part with it... Not gonna lie, I'm going to miss it."

"It was just a doll… I mean, you were right, I'm a bit too old to be playing around with dolls." Tori looked down at the doll head. "But what about you? You sold your very rare, very sharp scissors. It must have been hard for you too."

"Nah. I didn't use them that much anymore." Jade said "Besides, you were worth it."

"So were you."

Just a little something that shows that in the end Jade and Tori love each other more than material things, I think it goes to show how much they're willing to do to make the other happy.

like I said above, this is the final chapter, thank you all for joining me in this Jori ride, see you on my next story! Oh and I just posted a prequel where we see Jade and Tori getting married titled "The Big Jori Day."
