This story is SO sweet! Cori is the best X3 For your first fanfic, you did really, really good! This deserves way more than just 12 reviews! Cat is so adorable!

I love this story:D One of my favorite Cat/Tori fanfics!

I know it's finished but I love it too much. I wish you'd continue.

Well done.

I just found out this story was chosen for the Topaz 2012 Awards. I'm flattered to have been nominated, even if I didn't know this was a thing to begin with. I doubt I'll wind due to the horrid way I put this together, but it feels nice that someone liked it enough to think it's worthy. I have a big smile on my face right now, and for anyone wondering what's up with California Girl... I'm sorry. No computer at the moment, but IT WILL BE FINISHED.

Damn, that was excellent. Love it

Holly swiss cheese that was long, but it was incredibly awesome at the same time

Kim, my dear - this is lovely!

Cat can easily be overdone, but you've caught a good medium path here. Trina and Tori seem accurate, and Jade's as annoying as I'd imagine her to be. Good job on the characterization.

I'm not sure if you're aiming to have your dialog run-together to simulate Cat's consciousness or not, but the one real criticism I might have is that it is distracting from your story to have to sort out who's talking. In most other fiction, there's a paragraph stop when dialog comes from different people. For example:

"What's'a matter, Lil' Red?" Andre asked, nudging me in the arm with his shoulder, "Why so down today?"

"Oh! Hi Andre!" I squeaked out.

"Cat," he said, rolling his eyes just a bit, "I've been here this whole time."

This practice was settled on so that there's a clear demarcation of who's talking and to show the flow of the dialog passing among the characters in the scene. If you're mimicking Cat's mercurial thoughts and consciousness, that's your choice.

I just wanted to let you know that I was having to pick out specific people and trace back who could / should have been talking instead of soaking up your awesome descriptions and mood!

And those descriptions! I've suspected that Cat's much more grounded in her senses than the other characters from the show. Your descriptions of flavors and smells is awesome - I could completely see how Cat becomes distracted and seem left-field.

Getting the subtle cues from Tori that she's thinking of her friend in new and interesting ways is alluring! Delicious!

Altogether, thank you for sharing your story! You rock, and I am looking forward to more from you. Keep up the writing habit. Not enough people have your level of skill and imagery.

Such a good story! It's so easy for writers to go over the top with Cat, but I think you captured her perfectly. This is one of my new favorite Cori fics, so thanks for posting.

Wow...I really enjoyed this. I liked how you wrote for Cat. And i really liked the usage of "Colors and Lights" consistantly going through her head.

Wow! This is an extremely good fic. I loved that it wasn't angsty or full of purple prose. Seriously it was excellent. I hope you have more hours to kill and either make a sequel to this one or write another one with Cat. You did it so very well. I'm really shocked this is your first fic. You're ridiculously good at writing. I hope to read more from you very soon!

Honestly, I cried. You are amazing! Never have I felt so a tone with Cat's thoughts! Please continue or write more Cori!

GREAT story! only suggestion is to split it into chapters but that's not even that important. I couldn't stop reading anyway and it would waste time to click. loved it! keep up with the great work!
