Author Notes: Welcome back my dear readers and prepare to celebrate Tori's birthday ala Jori style.
"Vega... WAKE UP!"
"AHHH!" Tori yells out, jumping out of bed in the process. "Jade? What the hell?!"
"Good morning sweet Sally Peaches." Her wife teased. "Slept well?"
"Good morning?" Tori parroted confused. "Did I sleep well? Jade first of all, it's midnight!"
"Yeah."
"Which means we only went to bed two hours ago!"
"Your math skills are amazing Vega." The thespian taunted. "And you can tell time, aren't you a smart woman?"
"Ok, now that I been insulted by my wife, can I go back to bed now?" Tori asked with a yawn. "I got a long day ahead and I would like to have my eight hours of sleep."
"Nope, sorry, not gonna happen." Jade smirked. "And don't worry about today, your schedule just opened up."
"Say what?" The Latina asked confused. "Jade... What did you do?"
"Wouldn't you like to know?"
"Actually, I would!"
"Well, you're going to have to wait and see." Jade said. "In about eight hours."
"JADE!" Tori bellowed "You can't just wake up in the middle of the night and then tell me to wait, you know I don't like it when you mess with my head like that!"
"It's all part of the fun Vega." The thespian said giving her wife a kiss afterwards. "Now go back to sleep... If you can."
"If I can?" That last part sent chills down Tori's spine. "Oh I so don't like the sound of that."
"You'll like it when you wake up." Jade replied evilly. "Trust me on that."
She turned off the lights, satisfied that she now had her wife curious and you know what they say about curiosity.
... It killed the cat.
"I'm going to like what? She thought paranoid "What is she planning?"
As the clock kept ticking and Jade snored lightly, Tori watched suspiciously at her wife sleeping face.
"If I go to bed, I'm vulnerable to whatever she planning." Tori though frustrated. "If I don't go to sleep, I'll be tired in the morning and I'll still be under her mercy... Jade, you're an evil genius... Damn it... If she does use her mind for evil the world would be screwed, but right now, I'm the one who is... But not for long."
With sheer determination, the Latina took some precautions and grabbed some handcuffs from a nearby drawer, it was a pair she and Jade had used during their "night activities" and now it looks like she was going to use them for a far more serious precaution.
So as Jade slept, her wife slowly grabbed one of her arms and puts a handcuff on her wrist and the other to the bed's headboard.
"There, now I know she can't go anywhere." Tori said satisfied. "And more importantly, can't do anything while I'm asleep."
She yawned tiredly, content that her fears had been laid to rest, she was looking forward for a good night's sleep, so Tori gently got back to her side of the bed and closed her eyes.
Jade opened one eye, grinning proudly. "Good try Vega." She thought before freeing herself by squeezing her hand out of the handcuffs, massaging her wrist afterwards but savouring the pain she felt as well. "But not good enough."
She grabbed her phone to send someone a test.
J- I got under her skin... Vega took a step in trying to stop me.
Someone wrote back.
And how did that go?"
J- I'm still free, so everything is still going forward, everything ready on your side?"
The mysterious person replied with "Yeah... Just get Tori on the location we agreed on at ten."
J- Don't worry I will, the fun is going to start when she wakes up.
And with that, the thespian turned off her phone, giving her sleeping spouse a quick glance. "Ah Vega, you don't know what's coming your way."
Jade gave her a quick kiss on the back of her head before getting out of bed, taking a pillow with her, she hated not being able to sleep with her wife but it was all part of the plan.
"Sleep well Vega."
She gently closed the bedroom door.
Chip.. Chip... Chip... Chip...
Tori groaned putting a pillow over her head to try to muffled the sound of the chirping bird, when that didn't work, she reluctantly got out of her comfy bed, opened the window and threw a boot at it.
The chirping stopped.
"That's better." She muttered. "I need more sleep."
No sooner that Tori sat on her bed, the chirping began again, making her groan yet again.
"I really hate that bird." She said. "I already have a scary wife that mocks me every day, I don't need a mockingbird to well... Mock me every morning!"
Tori took a quick glance at Jade's side of the bed expecting to see her still sleeping and handcuffed, her eyes widened in shock, the handcuffs were there but not her spouse.
"How did she get free?!"
Tori, grabbed her phone, just about ready to call Jade, only to stop when she saw the time.
"9 o'clock!" She yelled out. "Holy chiz, I'm late for work!"
The Latina got out of bed, put on the first thing she gout out of her closet and ran to the kitchen, ready to grab a muffin and make it to the studio, only to stop in her tracks when he saw a note in the refrigerator.
Tori immediately recognised it as Jade's handwriting.
"Good Morning Vega;
Don't worry going to work today, I made sure you got the day off.
All you need to know is that I can a be very persuasive speaker.
That being said, we're going to have fun today, I bet you were scared to see that I wasn't there to wish you a good day, truth be told? I wish I could've seen your face Vega, but sacrifices needed to be made on this very special occasion, so here's what you're going to happen, I left u a little riddle in your car, answer it and you'll know where to go.
Meet me there at 10 o'clock.
Tick tock my dear wife, the clock's ticking.
Love Jade."
"What are you planning Jade?" Tori wondered. "Whatever it is, guess I'm about to find out."
The Latina went out to her car and true to Jade's words, there was an envelope on the windshield, she grabbed it, tearing it open.
"Riddle me this Vega... I'm bright but not clever, I burn but I'm not a bonfire, I sound like I'm a celebrity but I'm not famous, I twinkle but I'm not an eye, I can see at night but I'm not the moon.
What's am I?"
Tori pondered this for a few minutes.
"Twinkle." She muttered. "Why was that word underlined? Doesn't make much sense, I know Jade hates that words just as much as she hates... Twinkle, twinkle little... STAR! Of course, the answer is a star! Very clever baby... But where can I find a star?"
She read the riddle a few more times.
"The Hollywood Walk of fame?" She pondered. "Nope, that would be too obvious, specially if it says I'm like a celebrity but not famous, so that's out... So where else can I find a star?
The answer was not hard to figure out.
"The Observatory!" Tori squealed. "Jade, you're sneaky but not sneaky enough!"
The Latina got in her car and began her ride to the Griffith Observatory.
After half an hour drive, Tori made it to her destination, she parked her car, taking in the sight of the imposing structure.
"I made it and with time to spare." She grinned, looking at her watch. "Now let's see what's this all about."
She made it to the front desk, ready to buy a ticket, only for the man behind the counter to stop her.
"No worries miss." The ticket holder said. "Your entry has already been paid for, Victoria West, right?"
"Yup."
"I saw you on that show Eye Candy, you were awesome!" He praised. "Can I have an autograph?"
"Sure, why not?" She replied politely."
"Thank you." He said. "Oh by the way, I got a message from your wife to go to the planetarium, just go upstairs to the second floor and into the third door on the right.
Following his directions, Tori makes it to the room marked "Planetarium" in big bold letters, she swings the door open, expecting Jade to be there only to be met with an empty room.
"What the?" Tori said confused. "Jade?... Baby?... Are you here?"
"SURPRISE!"
"AHHH!"
Tori jumped after her wife sneaked behind her to scare her.
"This was worth the wait." Jade snickered. "You should've seen your face, Vega."
"Jade! Don't do that!" Tori admonished her. "You almost gave me a heart attack!"
"Almost?" She teased. "Then I must be doing something right."
"JADE!"
"Ok everybody, you can come out now!"
Soon enough Tori saw her family and friends coming out of their hiding places.
"Dad!" She said happily. "Trina! Andre! Cat! Robbie! Gibby! So good to see you!"
"Likewise sweetheart!" Her father said lovingly giving her a hug. "I wouldn't miss this day for the world."
"Totally." Trina agreed. "I wasn't about to miss my little sister's birthday."
"That's right! Tori's eyes widened "Today's my birthday! I can't believe I forgot!"
"Guess making sure I wasn't about to do anything illegal made you forget about your special day Tor." Jade said mischievously. "I had my fun teasing you about that, now it's time to have your fun for that, I know you been wanting to come and see the new exhibition of the new stars and planets that have been discovered so I thought, what better what to spend your birthday than to look at the stars."
"Aww Jade." The Latina cooed. "Thank you, that's so sweet of you."
"Only the best for you love of my life." The Thespian smirked. " And when the night comes, I'll give you my present."
"JADE!" Tori yells embarrassed. "Not in front of my dad!"
"Keep your mind out of the gutter Vega!" She said. "I meant an actual present you can unwrap and before you say it, no, it's not my clothes u can unwrap."
"Ohhh" Tori blushed, giggling sheepishly. "My bad."
After spending the whole day with her family and friends, watching the constellations, planets and what not, the evening came, so Jade took the opportunity to take her to a telescope visitors could use.
"Vega... I'm not very good expressing myself." Jade said reluctantly. "You better than anyone knows this... But I want to let you know that I love you and I believe in you that someday you'll be a star, in the meantime, I want to give you something."
"Oh?" Tori asked curiously. "What is it baby?"
"Look at the telescope and tell me what you see."
The Latina complied and look at the night sky. "It's beautiful, just think, billions of stars out there, really makes you wonder about our place in the universe."
"Yeah, ok Vega, now I want you to enter these coordinates into the telescope." Jade ordered. "After that, I really want you to tell me what you see."
After getting the coordinator her wife, Tori saw a big shinning star.
"That's a bright star." She joked.
"It's yours."
"Say what?"
"Open up your present Vega." Jade said, giving her a wrapped box. "I'm sure you'll like it."
Tori took the box and opened it, inside there was a certificate saying that there was a star named after her.
"Oh Jade." She said in awe. "You went and named a star after me?"
"Just my way of saying that I believe in you Vega." She said sincerely. "Every time you look at that star, it will be a reminder that I love you and you will make it shine someday."
Tori's lips began to tremble, a few tears running down her cheeks, she suddenly jumped into her wife's waiting arms and kissed her all over her face.
"This is the sweetest present you ever given me Jade." Tori said lovingly. "I love it!"
"Glad you do Vega." The thespian smirked. "Speaking of which, I couldn't name the name after your last name since it was already taken so, I gave it your name instead... Victoria."
"That's ok baby." Tori said. "It makes it all the more special."
"Happy birthday Tor."
Happy Birthday to Victoria Justice.
Jade was telling Tori the truth, there really is a star named Vega in the northern constellation of Lyra.
This was one of my favourite chapters to write since I enjoy to look at the night sky and watch the stars, in my head canon, I think it's something Tori would also like doing.
See you all on March 27, it's when Victorious first premiered ten years ago and I figured it would be the perfect date to set up as Jade and Tori's anniversary.
