Disclaimer: I think it common knowledge that i don't own Victorious. But i do (kind of) own the game Jade and Beck play, but feel free to use it (its fun).

"Game recognize game Jade." That smirk, that pisses me off to no end, spread across his lips. I followed his eyes and caught sight of the beauty he was talking about. Beck is so sweet and ever since the break up he's been my best guy friend, i mean who else knows what i like in a women but the man i left for them? That's a joke between us.

"Game recognize game Jade." He repeated the phrase that initiates the game we play every time we come to the mall. Ever since we graduated high school and everyone in our little group went their own way Beck is the only on i have really seen. I see Cat every so often, but she's in a movie now so i haven't seen her in months. Beck and I make it a point to go to the mall together at least twice a month, even though we both hate that mall but we love the hot chicks that love the mall. We play this game like its a contest, we see how many girls we can pick up and point targets out for each other.

I saw the beautiful, tan, tall girl he was targeting for me. He legs didn't seem to end under a mid thigh length dark blue skirt, she had on a normal t-shirt but the collar was cut wider so it hung off one of her beautifully sculpted shoulders. Yeah i saw her, and i think she the best one Beck has picked all day.

"Game recognize game, and you lookin' kinda unfamiliar right now." He issued the challenge in our made up game speak and i smirked to myself. I wonder how far he will take this, how much does he want me to meet this girl? I stayed in my seat on the bench in front of hot topic, our usual place to chill after we eat. We both had a thing for goth girls, me mostly the girls that worked there him mostly me. I smirked at him silently issuing my own challenge. He looked at me, the challenge almost tangible in his eyes.

Things had really changed after high school. Beck and I broke up, Tori and Cat are actors and musicians, Andre is a famous music producer and musician, Beck is a world famous actor, and I am an actress who's working with her old friend Andre on her first album.

But we all look different to. I grew my hair out really long and dyed the ends crimson, i got four new piecings. Now my left eyebrow is pierced twice and i have snake bites.

Beck cut his hair like a crew cut, though he's kind of growing it out again, and is growing a goatee kind of thing.

Andre let his dreads grow out till they were so long they reached his lower back, and he dresses very fancy even as casual dress.

Cat dyed cotton candy colored streaks, both blue and pink, into her red velvet hair.

The only one i haven't seen lately is Tori, but thats because i could never get over the stupid crush i had on her in high school and be her friend. I feel bad sometimes that i was so mean to her because i couldn't handle the fact that i like her more then i loved Beck.

"I'm sorry have you seen Jade? Can i help you miss?" I sighed realizing he really wanted me to know this girl, that meant her wants me to introduce him to her later. I stood smiling as i came up with a quick game plan. I walked over to the kiosk the girl was looking at, some shity jewelry stand. I accidentally bumped into her and she muttered an apology.

"I'm sorry miss," I started. But i was cut off as i saw who i bumped into. Tori Vega. Theirs no mistake. She still has that glow in her eyes and that thousand watt smile, but at the same time i can see that annoying way she stands and the infuriating way she flicks her hair back behind her shoulder. I took a shaky breath determined more then ever to win this round.

"But umm... could you help me?" I took a more stable breath as i watched her emotions flash through her brown-hazel eyes. She smiled at me, the warm smile i remember from high school.

"Sure, what can i do?" I bit my lip softly trying to let my mind memorize the melodious sound of her voice.

"Well, i'm looking for something for this girl i like. But i', not really good at this stuff, could you help me pick something. By the way you dress you two seem to like the same stuff." She smiled and nodded. she walked around the stand staring intently at the glass boxes full of necklaces and bracelets, her black heels clicking with each step she took.

"Well i like this one, but i don't know your budget." I walked up next to her and looked in the case at the one she indicated. It was a gold necklace with black designs on it and ruby red gems placed at various parts on the necklace. I smiled and looked at the price. $2,652. I looked at the kiosk owner and signaled him over.

"I'll take that one my good man, and can you put it in a nice box with a..." i paused and looked back at my half latina company.

"Wants your favorite color?" She blinked at me like i was crazy.

"Umm... uh... blue?" I smiled happily.

"A blue ribbon?" The man swallowed

"That'll cost extra." He spoke tentatively as if those simple words would make me change my mind.

"Go on then." I smiled encouragingly at him. He rushed to the other side of the kiosk to get to work on my request i turned back to my target and smiled.

"Thanks, your a life saver. So whats your name?" She smiled her signature smile at me again.

"Victoria."

"Victoria." i tested the name on my tongue considering i have never said her full name. She nodded and gestured towards me.

"And you?" "I'm Jadelyn." She gave me this odd look, like she was trying to remember me but couldn't place it. The man came back around and handed me a small royal blue box with a light blue ribbon. I reached in my wallet and handed him the cash and a tip.

"Keep the change my good man." He smiled and looked like he wanted nothing more then to hug me. I turned back to Victoria with a small smile.

"So Victoria-"

"You can call me Tori." She said tentatively.

"Okay Tori, here." I handed her the box. She stared at it with pure confusion and shock.

"But this is for the girl you like, not some random girl you met at the mall."

"Yes your right, i like you. How would you like to have dinner tomorrow night?" She smiled and took the box lightly from my hand. She pulled a pen off the counter and grabbed my hand. The pen felt weird as it stroked across my hand but i was to busy being happy to care. I knew that this meant she was giving me her number. She pulled away with a sweet smile on her lips.

"Pick me up at 8 tomorrow night." I nodded she leaned up and kissed my cheek.

"See you then Jadelyn." I turned and took half a step before looking over my shoulder.

"Call me Jade." I continued my walk back over to Beck feeling a little more then the normal victory of our little game. No, i felt vicTORIous.

A/N:AHAHAHAHAHA Is it sad that i can't stop laughing at my own pun at the end? This has been brewing in my mind since dinner, i blame this on watching Victorious to much (Pfft to much is never enough) and my friends, and the mall kinda. Lets see what happens when Jade takes our unsuspecting Tori out for dinner.

But you have to admit Jade is hella smooth, its ok to admit you wish you were that smooth.

Its ok I'll still love you.

But if you take that to far i might need a restraining order and thats when things aren't fun anymore.

so lets keep at this love and be ok with that ok?
