Tori checked herself in the full length mirror hearing the door open and looked to see Betty Boop setting a case of cigarettes down on the dresser. "I thought I never see you around here again." Said Betty hugging her. "I know Betty. Things have rough since Teddy's passing." Said Tori. "I know sweetie. But look around we are all here for you and Jessie and Jessica are performing after you on Jessica's request." Said Betty. "Hopefully Eddie isn't too pissed off once I had no choice but to tell him that I work here." Said Tori. "Well dont worry about him. I heard Wolfe is looking for you. I already gave Bongo a heads up." Said Betty. "Thank god. I just ran from after kneeing him in the jewels today." Said Tori. "Well since you're going on in ten minutes. What have you been up to?" Said Betty. "What's the word in Toon Town? I heard Acme handing Toon Town to us in the Will." Said Tori. "That's what I've been hearing too but no one has seen the Will in person but you know that Marvin and his niece are here for the Rabbits." Said Betty. "They Never miss a show." Tori and Betty say together before they giggled. "How's Eddie?" Said Betty. "Kinda the same but more drinking with an attitude on the side." Said Tori a s knocked brought their attention. "Mi-Mi-Miss Valiant. You're go go gonna be on in five." Said a voice on the other side of the door. "Looks like Donald Duck used the canon again." Said Betty grabbing the case of cigarettes. "Nice to you again Betty." Said Tori as she held the door open for her. She watched her leave and closes her behind her on her way to the stage. "Good luck out there Vicky." Said a woman's voice. Tori turned around seeing a red haired woman with a beautiful red sweetheart dress hugging her body. "Thanks Jessica. Looking forward to see and your brother Jessie afterwards. If my brother lets me live." Said Tori then spotted her backup girls.
She waved at Jessica before going on stage hug her friends and went to her place behind the curtains. Taking a deep breath as the the lights dimmed down a bit and began singing to a rift making everyone stop what they were doing and had eyes on her. Tori then started singing within her soul as the band started playing and her girls sang the backup vocals. She walked up the catwalk swaying her body down to a guy who was ready to get on stage but shaved him back in his seat making him backwards to the floor. Getting back up she saw Eddie looking absolutely shocked and his head ready to blow up if he was a toon. Tori danced with her girls having a great time as she sang her last note hearing the crowd cheering and saw Wolfe going insane at his table. She then walked off the stage talking and laughing her girls on her way to the dressing room. "You still got it. Why don't you join us for a drink or two?" Said one of the girls. "I'll think about. I just have a word with my brother." Said Tori looking at Eddie talking to Betty. "Oh right. Mr. Jack Daniels. You know where to find us." Said one of the girls as the men and woman got themselves ready for Jessica and Jessie. Tori walked to the audience towards Eddie's table having a seat without him. "Enjoyed my show." Tori as Eddie looked at her. "Yeah but you could've told me that you had a voice like that." Said Eddie. "You never asked but Teddy heard me a week before you know." Said Tori as Jessica started singing. She turned her head seeing her walking up on stage getting the men's attention especially Eddie who looked at her in awe. "She's married to Roger." Said Eddie. "Yeah." Said Tori. "What a lucky girl and look who is joining her." Said Betty seeing Jessie coming on stage right. He walked off stage to the audience making the girls squeal and swoon as he passed by. 'You're sittin' down and wonderin' what it's all about. If you ain't got no money they will put you out.' Jessie sang as one of the girls tried to grab him but fell on her face. Tori rolled her eyes then noticed Wolfe was a table close to her. "Oh shit." She whispered seeing him smirking at her licking his canines. Jessie walked over towards her without her knowing using his index finger to tilt her chin to look at him. 'Why don't you do right like some other women/men do? Get outta here, get me some money too.' The twins sang after another taking Tori's hand as he kneeled slowly bringing it to his lips kissing her knuckles before Eddie pulled Tori back seeing her lean forward a bit. Jessie sent Tori a quick wink before getting on stage singing with Jessica on their last note as the curtains closed.
Tori got up going to her dressing room with Eddie on her tail and slammed the door shut. "What the hell is wrong with you? Didn't you see him eyeballing you?" Said Eddie. "I'm sorry but I was being stalked by Wolfe." Said Tori. "Is that why you're dressed like that?" Said Eddie. "Did the alcohol make you deaf?! Maroon told us that he was touring in Italy when I didn't know Jessica was a twin." Said Tori. "My drinking isn't the problem. What happened to you when we told each other everything?" Said Eddie. "You shut nearly everyone out and stuck to drinking. I wanted to talk to you but I didn't because I know you and Teddy were together like Velcro." Said Tori then regret saying that name out loud. "I'm sorry. It's that you're not the kind of guy to talk. So I come here to talk to Betty or Jessica. They're like sisters to me." Said Tori. "Look Tori. You can " "Oh Jessica." Said a male voice. Tori and Eddie looked at the door knowing that voice anywhere. Marvin Acme. "We'll talk later. I some pictures to take." Said Eddie pecking her head before he left. Tori turned to the mirror taking off the photo she had hanged up by her old, chewed gum. She looked to see Eddie and Teddy with her in the middle in her graduation outfit smiling. "Gorgeous. I'm back." Said Wolfe on the other side of the door. "Kill me." Said Tori annoyed. She got up grabbing a bat from her drawer turning the knob to show Jessie. "Expecting a Toon?" Said Jessie. "Where's Wolfe?" Said Tori as they both heard screaming and something crash. "Nevermind." Said Tori. "Mind if you and I talked?" Said Jessie. "Sure." Said Tori putting her bat away as Jessie sat down on extra stool. "You were incredible up there." Said Jessie as Tori sat back on her spot near her vanity. "Right back at you Mr. Rabbit except for Eddie's behavior." Said Tori. "Like him pulling you away from me when I kissed your hand." Said Jessie. "Yeah. He's the typical overprotective brother. He's not always like that." Said Tori. "I have heard so much about you and your brothers from Jessica. I'm sorry about Teddy though. I understand why he acting that way. Im like that too when guys are making moves on Jessica but not my brother Roger." Said Jessie. "So what are you doing here? I heard from Maroon that you came from a tour in Italy." Said Tori. "Yeah. It's a very beautiful place but not nearly as what I'm seeing right now." Said Jessie checking her out. "Easy big boy. There's three problems. One which you saw Wolfe, the two weasels from Toon Patrol Smarty and Greasy. They will not stop flirting and trying to get me to date them or whatever sick fantasy they have in store for me." Said Tori. "I'm not Bad. I'm just Drawn that way Doll." Said Jessie. "Not the way my brother sees it." Said Tori then heard Eddie yelling and crash along with shouting from Bongo. "And that's my cue to go. Nice to meet you Jessie." Said Tori grabbing her coat. "Seriously. Just stay here a bit more." Said Jessie standing up. "I wish I could but you don't know my brother." Said Tori putting on her coat and walked down the hall. "Call me sometime Doll." Said Jessie from her dressing room. Tori shook her head heading out seeing Eddie brushing off garbage and looked at her. "I'm not sitting next to you." Said Tori getting in the car parked closed by. She sat in the back and felt something in her bra fishing whatever it was finding a small paper with Jessie's number.
