Author Notes: Well my dear readers, this is probably the fastest I ever updated, truth be told, I wasn't originally planning on writing anything but since today is an important day in the Jori calendar it would seem criminal not to come up with something.

You may be wondering, what's so important about today? Glad you all ask, as it turns out today marks the Anniversary of the episode " Tori & Jade's Play Date", which in canon is the first (and unfortunately only) Jori date, so I thought that knowing Tori, she would probably make a huge deal since it's technically the anniversary of when she and Jade first went out even if it was for an assignment, still I wanted to commemorate the occasion and what better way to do so than to have our favorite couple take a trip down memory lane?

Anyway read and enjoy my fellow readers/writers.

So do enjoy the silliness bellow.


"I hate you so much Tori."

"Take a number, Treen." Her younger sister said with an eye roll. "The question is why?"

"Because that psychopath you call a wife not only remembers when you two had your first date but also is taking you out to celebrate!" Trina sighed enviously as sisters sat up in the West living room. "I can't even get Gibby to remember when we first met and how we started dating! Let alone celebrate the occasion!"

"Considering that you technically assaulted him, is it really a surprise he doesn't remember?" Tori replied dryly. "I mean, you did hit his head pretty hard, you're pretty lucky that instead of suing you, he decided to ask you out… God knows why."

"Hey! He clearly has good taste in women!" Trina said as she pointed at herself. "Why else would he date me, let alone propose to me?"

"I'm going with the theory that you hit Gibby pretty hard and your future husband has permanent head damage."

"You picked up some bad habits from that psycho, you know that?" Trina growled unamused.

"Well, Jade is my wife, Treen." Tori replied in a matter of fact tone. "And I would appreciate it if you stop with the name calling."

"And that's another thing Tor, how is it that you got married before I did?!" The older woman asked annoyed "I'm the older sister here!"

"That's the thing about guys these days, sis." Tori shrugged "Marriage is usually the last thing in their minds, so consider yourself lucky Gibby loves you a bunch and decided to tie the knot rather than to run for the hills and save his poor ears from bleeding to death with your singing."

"TORI!"

"I'm just kidding." Tori snickered "But all jokes aside, you got a good one Trina and from the bottom of my heart I wish you and Gibby a long and happy marriage."

"That's better." Trina nodded. "For the record, if I wanted to talk to someone who would hit my self esteem, I would simply go talk to Jade."

"Why would you want to talk to someone who hits you when you're down?" Tori asked with a raised eyebrow.

"I wouldn't but if I ever had a choice, your wife would be my first pick."

"Funny, she says the same thing about you when she has the option of choosing someone whose 'singing' sounds like a dying giraffe." Tori shot back.

"HEY!" Trina said offended. "For your information, Gibby says I have the voice of an angel."

"Jade was right, love isn't blind but deaf too." Tori said under her breath, rolling her eyes. "Then again, who am I to judge? I felled in love with the world's most demented woman after all."

"Speaking of her, where is Jade taking you for your first date anniversary?"

"Where else but Nozu?" Tori replied with a wide smile.

"Really? Of all the restaurants in L.A, why there?" Trina asked curiously. "I mean no offense but there are plenty of other places where you two could go to have dinner."

"That may be true." The younger woman nodded in agreement. "But it's a little tradition Jade and I have, since our first date was in Nozu, we go each year and sit at the same table to remember how things started between us."

"That sounds both romantic and kinda cheesy."

"You're only saying that because you haven't had the chance to experience a first date anniversary Treen."

"Oh sure, keep rubbing it in why don't you?" Trina hissed in annoyance. "It will be fun for you to get all dressed up and have a some loving time with Jade while I have to ask myself, what do I have to do to get Gibby to give some romance! I mean I tried giving him some subtle clues and he won't take a hint!"

Tori chuckled and gave out a nostalgic sigh.

"What?" The older brunette asked confused.

"Oh nothing." Tori replied. "You just reminded me of one of the many reasons why I love my wife."

Unbeknownst to Trina, a certain song was going through her sister's mind, recalling how she and Jade performed a musical number that not only got two annoying guys to leave them alone but also ended their first date on a high note.

The Latina smiled goofily, which had not gone unnoticed by Trina who kept waving her hands in front of her face to get her attention.

"Tori!"

"Huh… What?"

"Where did your brain go?"

"Uh… Just don't memory lane Treen."

"Ok whatever, I rather not know." Trina said with an eye roll "Anyway, shouldn't you be getting ready? Jade's getting out of work soon and she's picking you up at seven, right?"

"Yeah we got reservations at eight," Tori said. "Gotta beat the traffic after all, but no worries, it's five thirty, I've still got plenty of time."

"Um, Tori?" Trina said with a frown. "Hate to burst your bubble but it's It's six thirty!"

"Say what?!" Tori exclaimed, jumping up. "Why didn't you tell me?!"

"I tried!" Trina snapped back. "But your brain went to La La Land for like an hour!"

"AN HOUR?!" Tori parroted "I can't believe this! Ok, not to self, never to daydream about Jade before an important event! If we missed those reservations, Jade is not only going to kill me but I won't get any tonight!"

"That's a little too much information right there sis… I mean… Eww."

"Now you know how I after hearing just how much you want Gibby to give you some loving…" Tori shot back. "But right now I don't have the time to get into that type of argument, I'm on a time limit here, so I gotta improvise."

"Meaning what exactly?"

"Meaning that the moment Jade enter that door you're going to distract her for as long as possible while I get ready!"

"What? NO!" Trina shouted "I'm not going to distract your psycho wife! I don't know why but every time she sees me, Jade gives me a stare that scares me, it's like she's trying to see someone that's not here in my place!"

Trina didn't know it but she pretty much described when Jade's mother came back from the afterlife and possessed her body just to visit her daughter for one day, an event that was only kept between the married couple because they knew Trina wouldn't believe them.

Tori coughed awkwardly remembering that event.

"Who knows why Jade does that." She said lamely "But come on Treen, I need your help!"

"Then get Andre to come here and help you, I'm out!"

"If you do me a solid Treen, I'll tell you what you can do so Gibby pays more attention to you!" Tori said in desperation.

"How would you know what a man wants?" Trina asked skeptically. "Your track record with men was awful and that was before you realized you're into women, Tor."

"Ok you got me there." Tori admitted reluctantly. "Ok how about this, if you distract Jade and help me save the evening, I'll return the favor and give pay for a romantic night for you and Gibby."

"For any restaurant in town?"

"YES!"

"And you'll me a new dress to charm my man?"

"Are you seriously trying to get clothes out of me?!" Tori bellowed incredulously.

"Hey, you want my help or not?!" Trina asked.

"Ugh… Fine!" Tori relented. "But you better make sure to keep Jade in the living room and away from our bedroom while I get ready."

"You can count on me." Her sister said with determination. "Go ahead and get ready for your wife."

without another word, Tori ran towards her bedroom, all the while the clock was ticking in the back of her mind.

The moment the younger brunette was out of earshot, her phone began to ring.

ring… ring… ring.

"Who could be calling me at this hour?" Trina asked, she looked at the caller ID and raised her eyebrows in surprise "Jade? Why would she be calling me?" Without much of a choice s she answered her phone. "Hello?"

"Trina!" Jade bellowed angrily "Please tell me Tori is with you!"

"She was." Trina replied. "She's however getting ready for your date."

"FUCK!"

"Woah Jade! Language!" Trina said, admonishing her sister in law. "What crawled up your ass and died?"

"It's not what but who!" The Thespian growled.

"I'm sorry… What?!"

"Look, I don't have time to explain." Jade replied quickly. "All you need to know is that I took a very stupid decision and allowed Cat to do my make up and now I look like a fucking clown and wipe that smug smile off your face Trina before I break your teeth!"

"I'm not smiling." Trina lied as she was already wondering if Cat had taken pictures she could get a copy off.

"The a hell you're not!" Jade sneered. "Look, I don't have the damn time to kill Cat and shove her corpse into the ocean, let alone hurt you if you say anything to Tori, right now I'm trying to remove the make up without getting any of it on my dress, so against my better judgement Trina, I'm forced to ask you for a favor for a lack of better options."

The older woman had an inking on what her sister in law was about to ask but still needed confirmation to quench her suspicions.

"And that would be…?"

"Distract Tori for as long as possible!" Jade said. "I'm not about to go on our anniversary date looking like a rainbow threw up on me, let alone tell her know what happened, I'll never hear the end of it!"

"What makes you think Cat just won't tell my sister?" Trina asked. "I mean we both know she can't keep a secret to save her life."

some very intense seconds flew by without hearing from the other end of the line, which worried the older brunette somewhat.

"Jade…?"

"FUCK!" The thespian cursed yet again. "Ok… I'll worry about that later, just do me the damn favor and make sure Tori doesn't look at her phone, watch or whatever and if she asks the time then freaking lie! I'll be there as soon as possible."

"And what's in it for me, Jade?" Trina asked.

"I'm not in the mood for your shit tonight, TRINA!" The former Goth hissed. "All you gotta remember is that if you help out your sister in law out of a jam then you get to keep your hair."

Trina's skin turned death white from fear, she had forgotten the very important detail that unlike her sister, Jade couldn't be so easily manipulated.

"I'll see what I can do." She replied back.

"Good." Jade said. "Remember Trina, I'm counting on you… Or else!"

the former Goth then hangs up.

"There are over two million women in L.A and my sister had to go ahead and marry the scissor loving lunatic." Trina groaned in annoyance "Why couldn't she have dated Cat instead? at least she's not threatening my very existence."


While both women were getting ready, neither knew that the other was running a bit late for their date, the moment Jade got ever ounce of make up off her face, she quickly did herself a quick job on her eyes, face and lips before bolting out of Cat's place and into her car, desperately hoping to beat traffic so she could reach the home she shared with her wife in time for their reservations.

Meanwhile after a quick shower, Tori began getting ready, picking a pink dress, doing her hair and make up, but of course under the stress they were both feeling, even the littlest of things got under the married couple's nerves.

in Tori's case she got her comb stuck on her hair while Jade got stuck in traffic.

"Oh come on!" They both said at the same time as a result of their current situation.

"Why is the universe being a bitch to me today of all days!" Jade shared in exasperation as she kept pressing the horn in her car. "MOVE IT ASSHOLES!"

"Come on, work with me here!" Tori yelled out in pain as she tried to untangle her comb out of her hair "Why does this happen to me tonight?!"

As they struggled to reach their destination/getting ready for their date, all Jade and Tori could think of was.

"Come Hell or high water I'm not letting my wife down."


After some forty five minutes, Jade finally made it to her house, getting out of the car with the speed of the road runner, she reached the front door, only to witness Trina eating some chips as she watched some mind numbing fashion show.

"I'm here! I'm here! The Thespian shouted as she slammed the door open, panting heavily as she tried to catch her breath "Vega! I'm here! Where are you? Are you ready? We're going to be late!"

"Jade? Baby? You ok?" Tori's voice came from their bedroom "You sound weird."

"I'm fine Vega!' The Thespian said. "Just ready to take the most beautiful woman in the world out for our date!"

"I hope you're talking about me." Tori replied coyly as she sensually walked into the living room, her hair put in a neatly made bun (as a last ditch attempt to appear as if she didn't lose an all out war with her hair), her pink dress showing some of the assets Jade loved and her make done almost immaculate, all in all a sight Jade loved.

Tori in turn got to see her wife in a very appealing black dress that made her want to dance the night away and after all that pent up energy was used, they could have a very loving night.

"You look beautiful baby." Tori said.

"And you don't fall behind Vega." Jade replied with a smirk. "But we can chit chat on the car, we're going to lose our reservations if we don't get out the door this instant."

"Right… Right." Tori nodded. "Lead the way, West."

Jade held her wife's hand as they went out the door and turn off the light, leaving a confused Trina behind in the darkness.

"Seriously?!" She snapped in annoyance "I'm invisible now?"


Once the married couple drove to Nozu, they spend the next few minutes looking for a parking spot, which unfortunately was another moment of frustration for the two women as the lot was full and out of options, Jade had to drive her car a block away.

"Come on!" Jade thought exasperatedly "Our luck can't be this bad!"

"What time is it?" Tori panted as she and Jade raced into the Sushi restaurant.

"Eight twenty," The Thespian replied as she looked at her phone. "We're late. But maybe there's a chance we can still our table saved."

The couple hurried over to the server at the front of the restaurant.

"Table for two," Jade said breathlessly. "Name's under West."

"Ah yes," Mrs. Lee sneered "I remember you two, the reservation you had was at 8 o' Clock. You're twenty minutes late."

"Yeah, we know, long story short, traffic was a pain." Jade said. "But we're here now, so think you can give us a table?"

"No I will not." Mrs. Lee said smugly. "I had to give your table away."

"But we're only twenty minutes late!" Tori exclaimed.

"Yes, however we have a strict reservation policy." The older woman said evenly "If you had been at the exact time then I would have given you a table but seeing as you didn't respect the restaurant policy I had no choice but to give it away."

"Now that's bull and you know it!" Jade snapped. "You just have it our for us and just want time petty revenge! News flash lady, it's been over twelve years since that play, will you let it go?!"

"I have no idea what you're talking about." Mrs. Lee said with narrowed eyes. "Now unless you want to still get in, you can wait for when a table is available, if not then I'm going to have to ask yo to leave!"

"Well, um, how long would it be to just wait for a table?" Tori asked.

"For you?" She sneered "I would say four hours."

"Four hours?!" Jade bellowed. "You gotta be kidding me!"

"Come on, baby," Tori sighed dejectedly, taking her hand. "Let's just go. We can't sit around all night waiting."

"Yeah…alright," Jade agreed, All the while glaring at Mrs. Lee who waved goodbye arrogantly before she walked into her restaurant.

"Good, she's gone." Tori said.

"Lucky for her." Jade snarled, "I was ready to stab her with my scissors for being such a gank and to think we came all this way just for nothing!"

"I wouldn't say nothing." The Latina said. "At least we got to see the outside of where we got our first date."

"Always the optimistic, huh Vega?" The Thespian retorted. "That's why I love… Vega… What are you doing with that rock?"

"Oh this?" Tori pointed at the hard object in her hand. "Oh nothing, I mean I just noticed that Mrs. Lee's parking spot is right there."

Jade noticed that indeed the gank's car wasn't too far, the fact that the spot had the woman's name in big bold letters was a dead giveaway as to who owned the vehicle.

"Yeah I see it." The former Goth said. "So what? It's not as if…"

Before she could say anything else, Tori threw the rock at the windshield, breaking it, the alarm going off.

"CHEESE IT!" Tori yelled out as she ran as quickly as she could, which was quiet a feast seeing as she was wearing high heels.

The Thespian on her part, blinked perplexed by what she just witnessed.

"I am becoming a bad influence on my wife." Jade said before she started running "WAIT FOR ME VEGA!"


As the married couple walked back to the car, holding hands, they

"Well Vega, seeing you vandalized that bitch's car was well worth the drive here." Jade snickered "Truth be told, if you hadn't done that I sure as hell would have."

"Well, I'm sorry but I snapped!" Tori said. "Who on Earth is petty enough to give your table away for someone that happened years ago?"

"Mrs. Lee that's who." Jade replied "Honestly part of me isn't really that surprised but it still ruined our night."

"You know, that doesn't have to be the case."

"what do you mean, Vega?"

"Well… I know that we have the tradition in which to spend the anniversary of our first date on Nozu," Tori said "But I'm thinking that maybe we can break that routine and go celebrate somewhere else? I mean as long as it's just us having a good time then we can still technically say, hey look remember when we this and that and so on during our first date? Like when I told you to look into that twisted bitter soul of yours to see if you could say anything nice about me."

"I remember I told you that your singing wasn't awful." Jade replied with a smile "And from there the conversation went to the point you called me pretty."

"And I stand by that." Tori said. "You are pretty."

"So are you Vega."

Both women stopped walking as they faced each other, now they held both hands and looked into each other's eyes before they shared a kiss in the middle of the street.

After they broke apart they smiles at each other before they continued their walk toward the car, hand in hand.

"I guess we can just try to find someplace else to get dinner," Tori said. "Though I'm not sure what's around here."

"It's L.A Vega," Jade replied. "We're bound to find at least one restaurant that's open and not in ownership of a stuck up bitch."

"Fair point."


The two got back in the car and began driving down the road. About five minutes later, The Latina glanced out her window.

"Hey, there's something up there," she said. "That little place up ahead…Deelishus Weenie…"

"You wanna just stop there?" Jade asked with a raised eyebrow. "I dunno if I trust a hot dog place that misspelled the word delicious."

"For all we know it's just a typo meant to appear more friendly towards costumers, baby." Tori shrugged. "Come on, what you got to lose?"

"Eh.., Why not?" Jade agreed. "Anything is better than Nozu at this point."

Jade pulled into the parking lot and the couple stepped inside.

Both women could certainly agree that this place was far less deluxe than the Japanese restaurant. There was a strong scent of meat in the air, and there weren't even any waiters around, just one man behind the counter.

"Deelishus Weenies!" The Weenie Clerk shouted.

"Well, this is far from the romantic night I had planned for us, Vega." Jade said dryly. "How the hell we went from a night eating sushi and karaoke to this…. I swear, it's as if the universe is playing a sick joke on us and I'm not laughing!"

"Well cursing our luck isn't going to change our outcome, baby." Tori pointed out. "Come on, I don't know about you but I'm starving, let's eat!"

"Yeah, okay," Jade relented, stepping up to the counter.

"Hi, what can I get for you?" The Weenie Clerk asked. "If you want, we got chili beans!"

"Uh… No thanks." Jade said. "Can we just get two Hot Dogs, two fries and a two drinks?"

"Anything else?" The Weenie Clerk asked. "Like I said we got Chilli Beans!"

"And like I said, no thanks." Jade replied. "Just what we ordered will do for now."

"Your loss." The Weenie Clerk said. "That will be twenty bucks."

"Well at least this is cheaper than Nozu." Tori said "Now let's see how good the food here is."

After a few minutes the man came back with their order.

"Here's your food," The Weenie Clerk said, sliding out a large tray. "You can take a seat anywhere you'd like and tell your friends about Deelishus Weenies!"

"Why do you keep screaming the restaurant's name?" Tori asked with a raised eyebrow.

"corporation's orders." The man shrugged.

The couple took their food and sat down at their table and unwrapped the tinfoil from their hot dogs.

"Vega, for what it's worth, I promise you that next time I'll take you out on a more romantic place." Jade said. "I know hot dogs and fries don't scream glamour but.."

"It's fine, Jade." Tori replied with a smile. "Not every date is going to go smoothly but hey, actions speak louder than words and from what I seen ever since we been together? I know you don't let anything stop you, so instead of thinking of any future plans, how about we enjoy the time we have now."

"I said it before and I'll say it again. "You're quite the optimist Vega."

"That I am." The Latina agreed "Now come on and let's have our dinner."

"Your wish my command Vega."

Jade and Tori spend the rest of their date talking under the stars.


And done! Let me just say that I had a completely different idea in mind with Jade and Tori having missed the reservation and instead spending it trapped in the car due to "bad weather" but then I thought that seem as "Lazy writing" and instead went with a more normal approach, at least normal for Jade and Tori.

I figured that Tori indeed has picked up some bad habits from Jade, otherwise she wouldn't have gotten angry and caused some damage to Mrs. Lee's car as revenge?

For those of you who might not remember, Gibby and Trina are a couple in my Jori universe and I just thought it would drive Trina crazy that Tori got married before she did.

For those of you not in the know "Deelishus Weenie" is actually a restaurant in the Invader Zim universe and at this point I think it became a running gag that I make reference to IZ in my Victorious fics.

Anyway thank you all for reading and as always I gotta ask, what did you guys thought of this chapter? Good? Bad or in Between? Constructive criticism is greatly appreciated!
