"Hi all, and welcome to my PAD." Tori said into the phone. "It's a beautiful home, and let me tell you, the draw of this place isn't the thirty thousand square feet, or the five plus acres of land. No, the draw is this unique mix of old school Hollywood with new, up to the date technology. My very own fantasy castle in the hills, and I'm gonna take you on a tour."

With a gesture, the pop princess moved the phone to show off her home. "I have everything, including a structure around my pool, not counted in the square footage, for that odd mix of indoor living and outdoor fun. Simply put, we have a transparent roof over the pool that lets in the sun, and gives us plenty of fresh air on sunny days, but can be closed off for cold nights and foul weather. Plus, we have four hot tubs. Just the thing when your living with a grouchy goth who loves to soak."

"Next, let me show you the view… I have a great view of the valley. Not the Los Angeles part, other side of the hill, but still, beautiful." The phone showed the view, including a vast garden, including a hedge maze. "My very own private kingdom, to rule over as I please."

"I have multiple bedrooms. Let me show the master. It's functionally it's own apartment, with twin bathrooms, what I call hers and hers, cause no him in this relationship, plus two walk in closets, and enough space for us to have our own small living area near the beds. Heck, I have a huge television, watch TV from my four poster bed. See…" The video shows the large, well appointed bedroom, large enough to be it's own studio apartment.

Next, the video shifted to a large living room, where Tori was sitting, showing off her couch, and the other amenities that made the place so livable. "This is where I come to just relax. Over there, we have the converted wine cellar, which is now my recording studio. Making my music here. We also have nine other bedroom, plus we're putting in a couple of guest houses, just cause. Plenty of room for my friend and family to come by and visit… Next, let me show you the exercise room…"

A distant noise woke the sleeping Latina. Brown eyes fluttered open to look around the shoe box sized bedroom they'd been living in, the one bedroom in the small trailer Jade had been using as her home AND the office for her production company. Things had been tight for a while now. Tori sighed, and tried not to let the dream go, not yet. Pulling herself from the warm sheets, she had a momentary flash of last night, and what she and her lover had done. But the morning chill hung on the room like a curse, causing her to cover up. 'No place to raise a kid, but people do.' Her eyes took in the curvy lump on the other side of the bed. 'Should be grateful it'll take more then just her to get me preggers, cause this place, it's just to small….'

"What'd I do?" Came from the lump, Jade's voice gruff from the waking.

"Nothing, I just…" Brown eyes shut, just a moment, holding on to last nights dream. "I had that dream again. Living in my magical, fairy tale castle. It, it felt so real, so close… Guessing I just have to make due with this… For now."

"Babe, we're gonna make it." Jade cooed, pulling herself up from the bed, a sheet wrapped around her still very naked form. "Just, it's gonna take a little longer. Give it time. Just a little longer."

Tori opened the small window, looking out at the morning, and the house in the near distance, work crews moving around it like ants at a picnic. "It's been six months. How long does it take to renovate an old place like that?" Tori wondered.

Jade was standing behind her, arms around her waist. "Another six, maybe? Honestly, we should have just rented a place."

"NO!" The Latina growled. "This is my home. I refuse to let slow workers and building permit issues drive me from it. We live here, until the house is ready. THEN, we move I n, and live the fucking fantasy." Brown orbs pierced her lovers reflection. "I'm so taking you in each and every Jacuzzi. Just so you know, this IS my kingdom."

"Looking forward to it." Jade chuckled. "Now, I need to get dressed, cause I have shit to do today. Gotta pay for our money pit."

"You and your old movies." Tori smiled, thinking of the dream. 'Some day….'

Yep, I like my misdirection. So… Review, cause I may have other weirder ideas that come to me.
