Disclaimer: As we all know, I don't know the Victorious TV show, we all know that the series belongs to Nickelodeon, but if I did own it, then it would have gotten a proper series finale and Jori would be endgame one way or another.
Author Notes: I'm going be blunt, I didn't remember about Internal Women's Day being this month but since it does technically count as a holiday, it would seem criminal not to post something for Jori, although this plot took an unexpected twist because sometimes I have no idea what my mind can sometimes come up with.
Tori was scribbling away on the couch, a black notebook her spouse had given her as a present for creative purposes was resting on her lap, sadly those creative juices were lacking and as a result, the Latina started chewing on her pencil, a look of sheer concentration were in her big brown eyes as she tried to come up with the lyrics for possibly her next big hit.
"Where's my big source of inspiration when I need it most?"
"Oh Vega!" Jade sang mischievously. "I got a surprise for you."
"Speak of the devil." Tori thought amused. "I'm in the living room Jade! And I thought we agreed no more surprises! They usually don't… End well… For me…"
The vengeful scent of bush daisies filled the atmosphere even before Tori turned around to see her wife holding a bouquet of her personal kryptonite.
"JADE!" Tori jumped scared from her spot on the couch "What the chiz is wrong with you!? Get those brush daisies out of here! You know I'm extremely allergic to them!"
"Oh, I know you are Vega." Jade said evilly. "That's why I brought them here, I have big plans for you and these flowers after all."
The Thespian began chuckling ominously, normally Tori loved hearing her wife laugh but this time, the crackle made a chill go down her spine.
"This is what I get for falling in love with a psychopath." Tori thought with an eye roll. "Maybe I really should have listened to Trina when she said that Jade was going to kill me someday."
Despite feeling as if her life was in danger, The Latina still thought of giving the Thespian the benefit of the doubt, after all it wasn't the first time that Jade pulled the scary card only for the cat to eventually come out of the not so disturbing bag.
… And no matter how many times they went through this, Tori still sensed a feeling of danger whenever Jade had a surprise for them, it was both exhilarating and concerning at the same time.
The anxiety soon grew when Jade revealed her favorite pair of scissors behind her back.
"Oh crud."
Tori tried to take a step back only to trip and fall back on the couch, the older woman then puts down both the scissors and the flowers on the coffee table before she began rubbing her hands in anticipation; evidently this only meant one thing…Jade was going to enjoy what was going to happen next.
"Oh Vega, I been waiting for this moment for years."
Next thing Tori knew, Jade sat down next to her, getting on her personal space, green eyes staring at brown ones, before the Latina could do or say anything, her wife began kissing her all over her face with one final big smooch on her lips, something Tori enjoyed despite still being on edge.
"Oh Vega, Vega, Vega, even after all these years it's still too damn easy to get under your skin." Jade said, chuckling less evilly but still mischievously. "Seriously, you acted as if I was going to murder you! Don't tell you Trina's words got to you."
"Uh… NO!" Tori denied lamely. "That thought never came to mind! Not in a million years baby! I know you love me!"
"Yeah well, it's that love I have for you Tor, that I got a perfect little gift for you and me."
"Wait… You got me… you… us… a gift?"
"Sure did." Jade nodded. "The flowers and the scissors are part of it, wait here babe, I'll go get the rest."
Just as her spouse walked away to get the remaining stuff, Tori could only scratch her head in confusion as she cautiously stared at the bush dairies, not wanting to be near them but also very curious to find out why Jade brought them in the first place.
"What are you planning Jade?"
She didn't have to wait long to find out, a few minutes later, the former Goth came back with a pair of gloves and a matching spider woman or "Spider Gwen" mask.
Tori blinked, this only added to her confusion.
"Uh… baby, not to start questioning your sanity, but what's all this?"
"Put the gloves and mask on Vega." Jade ordered gently "It will all make sense soon, I promise."
"Fine but you better have a good reason for asking me to do this." Tori said "And it better not be some kind of twisted sex game."
"Trust me Tor, if it was a sex game, I wouldn't be beating around the bush." The brunette said with an eye roll. "I would go straight to the point."
"There's nothing straight about us, baby." Tori replied as she finished putting on the mask. "Well, at least I can still see under this thing, Gwen Stacy didn't have spider vision, that for sure."
"Stop being a dork and put on the gloves Vega." Jade grunted. "The sooner you're ready, the sooner the fun will begin."
"You and I have very different definitions of fun Jade." The Latina said as she put on her gloves. "Ok, I'm ready, now what?"
Jade didn't say anything for a while, she only eyed the younger woman meticulously, making sure she was protected for what was going to happen next, once she was satisfied, she gave Tori her favorite pair of scissors and moved the bush daisies so they would be in front of her wife.
Tori's only goal was to be far away from the flowers as possible and just as she was about to get up, Jade grabbed her by the arm.
"Vega, don't even try to run away." The former Goth said. "These orange menaces aren't going to hurt you, I promise but I can't say the same for them."
"I'm sorry… what?"
"Tori, sit down." Jade ordered gently. "I promised I would explain everything and that's what I'm going to do."
The Latina reluctantly sat next to her wife.
"Vega, you remember the first time I gave you flowers?"
"Is that a trick question?" Tori questioned sarcastically. "You nearly killed me remember?"
"Don't exaggerate." Jade said with an eye roll. "I only wanted to make your face puffy."
"Oh yeah, that makes it so much better."
"Sarcasm aside Tor, there are many things I regret about our relationship." The pale woman admitted. "And trust me, getting you those bush daisies is of my top five on the list."
"And yet, my spider sense is tingling."
"Really Vega?" Jade asked unimpressed. "A superhero reference?"
"Seemed appropriate." Tori teased. "Bush Daisies are my kryptonite after all."
"Spider woman isn't vulnerable to…." Jade stopped mid sentence. "Seriously, I married the biggest dork in the world and yet she can't tell the difference between Marvel and DC."
"We're getting off topic babe."
"You're right." The Thespian sighed. "Look Tor, bottom line? I brought these Bush Daisies as a form of therapy, I never did get punished for my actions and while you eventually forgave me, for a very long time I felt guilty for what I did to you and after much thinking I came up with a solution that might make you feel as if you're not only kicking my ass without you actually kicking my ass and at the same time give telling the Bush daisies to go to Hell."
"Ok, let's hear it." Tori said. "Truth be told, I'm very curious now."
"I gave you my scissors so you can chop off all these bush daisies as you see fit and the gloves and mask are for your protection." Jade explained "And after you feel satisfied, I'll prepare you a bath so you can decompress."
"Aww Jade, that's sweet of you but you didn't need to do this." Tori said, touched by her wife's actions. "Like you said, I already forgave you."
"Vega, while that may be the case, just do it as a favor to me." Jade grunted. "Come on, don't deny there were times when you wanted to get back at me, this is your chance, picture the bush daisies as my younger gankier self and go nuts!"
"And what if I can't?"
"Then picture them as someone you really hate, like that Bitch Karen from next door."
"Oh THAT I can do!" Tori said as she began chopping away those bush daisies with such hatred and vengeance.
"This feels very cathartic."
As Tori continued ripping apart the flowers, Jade happily watched her silently.
"How I love that woman." The Thespian thoughts satisfied by what she was witnessing. "Best way to spent International Women's Day with the woman I love, she can be a dork but she's my badass dork."
Happy International Women's day to all, my female readers, I'm aware that the holiday is meant to be about the accomplishment for Women fighting the good fight against the world and I hope I did that Justice here (no pun intended) as Jade not only protected Tori here but also gave her the means to fight against what can hurt her as the bush daisies symbolized here.
The chapter is meant to be taking with some fun with also points out that women can make a difference in the world as long as they stick together and make the change in the world.
Anyway, what do you guys think? As always constructive criticism is always appreciated.
