I was a good day for an oddly happy Jade West as she was walking down the halls in Hollywood Arts towards Sikowitz's class. The reason she was having a good day was that she was finally over her break up with a certain Canadian and now she was emotionally free to pursue whoever she wanted now. Walking past the janitor closet she stopped when she swore she heard the sound of someone crying, and not just any someone, Tori Vega. Oh yeah she knew what Tori sounded like when she cried, she memorized it so that if she ever cried Jade would be able to poke fun at her while, in her own way, try to help the half Latina. Opening the door quietly Jade saw that Tori had yet to realize that she found her and decided that it was best to make her presence known.

"What you crying about Vega?" Jade asked in her tough girl voice.

Hiccupping, Tori looked up and let out a little yelp seeing the Goth girl standing in front of her with a glare. Wiping her eyes quickly Tori shook her head and gave Jade a weak smile before standing up and attempting to leave only to be stopped by said other girl. Sitting her down Jade started to pace the length of the closet before turning on the smaller girl with a look that she they weren't leaving until she got some answers.

"Alright Vega spill it now what was making you cry not that I really care," Jade said as Tori looked at the floor.

"I really don't want to talk about it Jade so please just let me go," Tori said standing up again only to be sat down yet again.

"We're not leaving until I get a reason to beat the crap out of someone Tori," Jade hissed glaring at the singer, "I was having a good day until I heard you crying and now I won't be able to continue my good day until I figure out why you are."

"You sound like you actually care," Tori muttered looking Jade in the eyes.

"Don't get use to it, like I said I was having a good day so I'm feeling generous," the play writer said taking a step back.

Tori sighed and began to think about how she was going to explain what she just remembered that made her so upset. Earlier that morning Tori was walking down the hallway when a memory that she had all but forgotten about resurfaced and brought back old feelings with it. Said memory was of a past friend that she uses to have that moved to the opposite side of the city and the two of them left off on a bad note. It wasn't until that day that she realized that her old friend went to Hollywood Arts with her and now all she wanted to do was talk to her and try to heal their friendship.

"It's just that…well I just remembered a past friend that I had and realized that she went to this school," Tori said catching Jade's attention, "I want to see if we can be friends again but I'm afraid to talk to her."

"Well what's her name?" Jade asked leaning against the door.

"You actually know her," Tori whispered barely loud enough for Jade to hear her.

"Vega just tell me," Jade said walking over to her, "I'm sure it's not that bad that…"

"It's you Jade," Tori said cutting Jade off and surprising her.

Jade sat there in shock taking in what the youngest Vega girl had just told her. The two of them use to be friends? True she use to live near the Vega household from what she could remember but where they really friends? Shaking her head Jade was barely able to see that Tori was running out the door when she ran after her and grabbed her wrist stopping the half Latina. Jade pulled Tori to a stop and turned her around so that they could be face to face and talk.

"Okay wait, we use to be friends?" Jade asked as some tears ran down Tori's cheek.

"Yeah we use to hang out and have a lot of fun together but then you were moving and we got into a big argument that pretty much ruined our friendship," Tori said as some of Jade's memories started to resurface as well, "I wanted to see if we could be friends again but I started to get afraid because let's face it you scare a lot of people."

Jade bit down on her lower lip as she started to remember some of the good times that she had with the Vega girl, playing house, hide and go seek, tag , everything. She remembered visiting Tori when she was sick and making her get well cards hoping that her friend wouldn't be bed ridden for long. She remembered playing in the park and protecting Tori from the older kids who would bully her. But most of all she remembered leaving her old house and having an argument with her before leaving the house for the final time.

"I…what did we argue about anyway?" Jade asked rubbing her temples.

"I believe it was because I told you that when we were older that we were going to get married and you said that we couldn't because we were both girls then you called me stupid and it just worked its way from there," Tori replied rubbing her wrist where Jade had held her.

Jade stood there in complete and total shock just trying to work out everything that was going through her mind at the time. The memory of their argument came back in full and caused her to stumble back a little bit concerning Tori slightly. Helping her sit down Tori and Jade just sat there not sure really what to say to each other. Finally Jade grasped Tori's hand and gave it a squeeze trying to gain her attention.

"You said that…you wanted to try to be friends again," she muttered not looking at the Vega girl, "did you mean that?"

"I did," Tori replied looking over at Jade, "I miss what we had Jade, even if I only remembered it today, I miss us playing around and having fun, I miss you not being an complete ass."

At this Jade started laughing catching Tori off guard and making said girl glare at the future play writer. She had no idea what she said that was so funny but here she was trying to be serious and Jade had the audacity to laugh at her. Letting out a soft growl Tori only managed to make Jade laugh even more and decided that it was best to just stop.

"We did have a lot of fun didn't we?" Jade asked smiling.

"Yeah…" Tori mumbled smiling at her memories.

The two sat there when Jade remembered that they would be late for class if they didn't get out of there. Taking a hold of Tori's hand, Jade lifted her up and pulled the girl toward Sikowitz's class. When they reached it instead of letting Tori sit in her normal spot Jade pulled her over to a corner next to the door where two seats were and sat her down. Sikowitz walked in not five minutes later and gave the two girls a confused look before shrugging it off and continued on with his lesson plan. After class ended Jade and Tori walked out and headed over to get a drink from the vending machine.

"So we left off on a bad note just because you said that we were going to get married?" Jade asked taking a drink from her soda.

"Yeah, it's kind of stupid thinking back on it," Tori said with a slight laugh.

"Not that stupid," Jade muttered blushing slightly, "if memory serves me then we use to talk a lot about being together forever."

Tori nodded and the two sat down on a bench just outside the school and sipped on her drink. Jade could tell that Tori was feeling a bit uncomfortable and decided to draw this out so that she could embarrass her a little bit more.

"You know I've heard that some people thought we were going out when they saw us at Nozu," Jade joked making Tori blush and spit out her drink.

"Wh-what?" Tori stuttered looking at Jade.

Jade just started laughing seeing Tori's reaction and knowing that the half Latina was all but wrapped around her finger. After calming down a little bit Jade wiped some tears from her eyes and took a drink from her soda again. Tori could help at this time to notice how close they were sitting together and that Jade hadn't even made that much fun of her like she normally would. It was then that she felt some old feelings starting to resurface and she remembered why she wanted to be Jade's friend so much when she came to Hollywood Arts.

'Could I really like Jade that way?' Tori thought biting down on her lower lip, 'I mean she doesn't even like me at least I think she doesn't like me I'm not so sure anymore.'

"Yo Vega you okay?" Jade asked snapping her fingers in front of her

"Huh? Oh yeah I'm fine…hey Jade?"

"That's my name," Jade replied smirking.

"You um…you doing anything this Friday?" Tori asked blushing.

"…Yep," Jade said shattering Tori's plans.

"Oh…well then," Tori said standing up only to feel Jade's hand on her wrist again.

"I plan on spending it at a certain singer's house," Jade said standing up.

Leaning in Jade kissed Tori's cheek and started to walk off leaving a very confused Vega girl behind wondering what just happened. Turning back around Jade smiled at her and gave her a wink before walking over to her truck and saying…

"Your house and we'll be cooking something to eat don't worry about the ingredients I'll be bringing them."
