A/N: I am SO sorry for not updating. I just didn't really have any inspiration—hopefully I can fix that. ALSO, not sure about the pairings anymore. You'll just have to see what happens in the end! (;

Jade's POV

I stormed out of Beck's dump RV and started running to my car. I didn't look back once, but I knew if I did no one would come after me, anyway. I pulled out my keys, jabbed them in the car door and started to open it when I saw Tori standing on the sidewalk with her arms crossed.

"Why are you following me?" I growled. I closed the door and stood next to my car, crossing my arms too. Tori shifted her weight to her left foot and eyed me suspiciously, like I was going to attack her. Thinking about that made me mad, and I took my eyes off of Tori and focused on getting into my car.

"Because I'm coming with you," Tori said quietly. Her arms dropped to her sides as she waited for me to respond. She was coming with me? Wow. What the heck?

"Why?" I asked, easing my tone a bit. Maybe she was being serious. Hey, if she wanted to come along with me when I was feeling violent, why not let her? And not like I'd tell her, but her company was kind of nice (and needed) right now.

Tori opened her mouth, closed it, then opened it again and closed it again. Finally, she said, "Because I want to. I feel really bad for what happened in there."

I sighed. "All right. Get in the car."

Tori smiled a small smile and opened the passenger door. Crap, I forgot to lock the car when I went to Beck's. Oh, well, at least no one broke in. But then again…who would want to break into my car?

I got into the driver's seat and was about to put my key in the ignition when Tori asked, "Is something bothering you?"

"Well, I just got into a big fight with my ex-boyfriend who I'm still in love with, and he and all of my other friends think I'm crazy. And he'll probably start dating the girl I hate, so―"

"No," Tori interrupted me, "not that. Before we went there today."

I sighed again. Might as well tell Tori what happened last night. "Madeline called me last night," I muttered. "She said some rude things to me. It was just annoying." That was the truth. She had called me when I was in André's car. I was surprised he hadn't brought that up earlier…

Tori's eyes widened. "What did she say to you?"

"It doesn't matter," I snapped. "Look, it's 2:36. I don't want to talk about…Beck or Madeline, so what do you say we go do something else?"

"Like?"

"Well…" I said, feeling nice, "what do you consider 'fun'?" I turned to look at Tori and her face had lit up at the mention of the word 'fun'. For a brief second, she reminded me of Cat.

"The mall," Tori replied dreamily. She saw the look I gave her and added, "it doesn't just have clothes, you know. Come on, let's go there! At least it'll take your mind off things."

"Whatever," I said, defeated. "Which mall?"

"Onkello?"

"Fine."

"Oh yeah! Let's drive it up!"

I almost laughed at her enthusiasm—but laughing wasn't something I wanted to do right now. I finally started the car and began driving down Beck's street. When I passed his house, he, André, Robbie, Cat and Evil Incarnate were standing outside, talking and laughing. Madeline kept wiping her eyes and Cat appeared to be comforting her. I honked my horn really loud and watched, pleased, as they all jumped at the sound. Then I sped up so they wouldn't suspect me. I never looked back.

"Jade!" Tori scolded. I could tell she was trying not to laugh. "Not nice. Did you see Madeline scream?"

"I wish I had," I admitted, returning to normal speed as we turned the corner. I checked the gas—I had a half-tank—and then turned on the radio. My old clunker only got a couple radio stations, and unfortunately the crap playing now was a Ginger Fox song.

"I LOVE THIS SONG," Tori yelled suddenly, causing me to swerve the car.

I gave her another look.

"Well, Ginger Fox was pretty awesome before she turned trashy," Tori said quietly.

"I can't agree with that," I replied, "partly because it's your opinion and partly because she's always been annoying. Have you ever heard real music?"

"I have!" Tori defended. "I like Cuttlefish, Blue Month…and…yeah."

I snorted. "You have so much to learn, Tori."

She didn't answer me, and I kept driving toward the mall. Obviously I'd been there before—I'm a girl—and I knew it'd be about twenty minutes from Beck's street. I prepared myself for the long-ish ride, opening the windows and sunroof. I kept expecting Vega to make some comment about my driving or say something pitiful about Beck, but she never did. She stayed silent until we reached Onkello Mall. (Yeah, weird name. So is "Beck", am I right?)

After five minutes of looking for a parking spot, I finally drove into a little spot very close to the entrance. I pulled out my keys and Tori and I both got out of the car simultaneously.

She was still quiet as we walked to the entrance, but once we walked inside she was back to her usual annoying self.

"Dude," she said, stopping and grabbing my arm. I swatted it away. "They got an Unlimited."

"What the hell is an unlimited?" I asked, not really caring and already annoyed.

"It's the best store ever!" Tori exclaimed, sounding annoyed herself. "I can't believe you've never heard of it. They have all sorts of stuff. Cat and I go there all the time at Westview…" Tori sounded excited again, but her happy tone died down when she said "Cat and I". Like she thought I'd be jealous or something. "Let's go in," she said quickly, and she headed right into the store.

I reluctantly followed, because I sort of had to. As soon as I walked in, I liked it. A cool sounding song was playing and it was dimly lit. It wasn't anything like what I usually shopped at, but I could tell at first glance they had some pretty decent clothes. Like—

"Those are pretty cool," I said, trying to hide my excitement as I noticed a stack of dark grey skinny jeans sitting on a table. Tori turned around and smirked as I walked over to the table and looked for my size.

"You like this store, Jade," Tori said smugly, slowly approaching me with her arms crossed. "Admit it."

"I like these jeans," I insisted, grabbing a pair my size and searching for the fitting room. At last, I spotted one, and I started walking over. I didn't tell Tori where I was going, but I saw her smirk change into a real smile.

"Have fun," she said.

A/N: Another filler chapter. Sorry! I just really wanted to add another one! Don't worry, the next chapter will be a continuation of this one (big surprise there) and will have some more Tori/Jade friendship, and of course some surprises (HOPEFULLY). I know this one was pretty OOC, but Jade's hard to write! D: And yeah, Unlimited is a parody of The Limited. xD Just the name, though. Obviously the stores are very different. Well, I'm done babbling. Hope you guys liked it!
