When is Jade not Jade?

Chapter 6

Jade from 2021's POV

Without even thinking I ran to Tori and pulled her into a hug squeezing her as tight as I could as tears formed in my eyes. I had Tori back, I could hardly believe it. Holding her again after 9 years in prison was almost heavenly. For a brief time as I held Tori I was completely overcome with emotion. I never wanted to let her go again.

"Cat Are you ok." Said Tori with a very puzzled expression on her face.

I suddenly remembered I look and sound exactly like cat and I needed to play my part.

"Uh…I'm sorry Tori, I missed you." I quickly blurted out.

"Cat I only saw you 3 hours ago. You're acting like you haven't seen me in years." She said as she pulled her costume out of a garment bag.

"You know me, I'm Cat, I'm almost as goofy as my brother." I said quickly realizing that I was doing a terrible job at acting like Cat.

Tori looked at me oddly. "Have you seen Jade? I can get a hold of her."

"Oh Shit…Umm. I think I saw her downstairs. I'll go find her for you." I said remembering that Sam was still locked up downstairs.

I moved to the door and just before I left.

"Hey Tori" I said.

"What Cat?"

"You are the most important thing in Jade's life. She's not perfect but she loves you more than anything in the world. Don't ever forget that."

Tori smiled. "I love her and I want to spend my life with her."

"She'll like that alot."

I left the dressing room where as I headed towards the basement I ran into Robbie.

"Hi Cat." He said with a smile.

This poor goof has it bad for Cat who ran off the last time he kissed her. I know she likes him but oddly is too shy about it. I suddenly had an idea. Maybe I could change history a bit too.

Without saying a word I walked right up to Robbie and kissed him. As much as it makes my stomach churn to kiss Robbie it was for Cat's own good.

After the kiss I just stood there as the dumb look of surprise sat fixed on his face.

"You want to go out with me don't you Robbie?"

He nodded

"Yes Cat, I would."

"Give me your phone." I said holding out my hand.

He looked at me oddly and handed me his phone. I took it and hit the record video button and turned the phone so it was taping me.

"I Caterina Cat Valentine agree to go on a date with Robbie Shapiro," I looked to Robbie, "Saturday night is good?"

He smiled and nodded.

"This Saturday night, for dinner and a movie or dancing. And if I'm having a real good time I'll even let him get to 1st base. No let's be generous" I said looking at Robbie, "2nd Base. This date offer can't be rescinded or taken back in anyway shape or form. Cross my heart hope to die poke a needle in my eye."

If Cat is very serious about something she will say that. She would never break a poke a needle in your eye oath. I hit stop on the recording and handed the phone back to a rather confused looking Robbie.

"When I claim not to remember making a date with you show me this video. I probably won't."

"Thanks" He said.

"Kay Kay" I blurted out without thinking. Oh my god, I'm starting to talk like Cat. How revolting I thought.

It could be considered rotten or down right evil to make a date for Cat when I looked like her. But it's for, her own good and must I remind people I can be pretty fucking evil.

Just ask my last cell mate, Oh you can't because I broke her neck because she insulted Tori.

I smiled and left heading down to the sub basement where Sam was locked up. I had only minutes before the bomb went off and Fawn was lurking about somewhere.

After a few minutes I found the room. The door was steel and painted in battleship grey with a faded civil defense sticker on it. It also had a new padlock on it.

"Dam" I cursed.

In the corner I saw an old fire extinguisher which I picked up and began assaulting the padlock by hammering on it.

After a few minutes of ruthlessly hammering away at the lock it finally broke off.

As I swung open the door I heard a noise behind me. I turned around just in time to see Fawn swinging a crowbar right at my head which I managed to duck.

It hit the door with a clang and I quickly punched her in the face and then in the stomach. She grimaced in pain and staggered backward. I've been in prison for 9 years so I throw a pretty mean punch.

As Fawn staggered backwards the door to the subbasement opened and I emerged. Or least Sam did who at the moment looks like me. It's all very confusing.

Seeing she was outmatched 2 to one Fawn quickly fled.

"Dr. Becket I presume."

He nodded yes.

"Listen I don't have time to explain, there is a bomb under the stage that is set to go off in minutes. You get that while I get our resident psycho."

"Got it" Sam said taking off.

Sam's POV

I ran up to find the room under the stage.

"This way" All said at the end of a hallway pointing to his right.

I ran down and around the corner.

"Door at the end Sam." Al said, his voice full of urgency.

I ran to the door and opened it. It was a larger room with pieces of old sets and props plus other junk. There were some trap doors onto the stage. I had to find the bomb.

Al used his hand link to scan for the bomb while started to search. Above me I could hear the announcer.

"And now Tori Vega." With that I could hear her begin her song.

"One minutes 34 seconds. Sam." Al announced.

I kept looking when a few seconds later Al Announced.

"Here Sam." He said pointing to a box that unlike everything else did not have any dust on it.

I opened the box to find a small but rather complex bomb made of plastic explosives.

I was about to yank the green wire that looked like the one from the detonator when Al Yelled.

"Don't its booby trapped."

I had 22 seconds left. "Which one?"

"Ziggy says the bomb is rigged, you need to yank both the green and red wires at the same time."

I held my breath and yanked the wires as the timer hit 7 seconds.

The bomb deactivated and I let out a sigh of relief.

Jade from 2021's POV.

Sam ran one way and I ran the other after Fawn. That bitch wasted Tori plus 7 other people and I was going to see that it never happened.

I chased after Fawn who seemed to be heading up into the rafters where the lights were.

I think she was planning on dropping a light on Tori again.

I knew the stage better than she did so I was able to take a short cut to gain ground as I was soon behind her.

Eventually I cornered her on a walkway above the stage. I heard Tori began to sing below me. Meaning I had less than 2 minutes before the bomb went off. Hopefully Dr. Becket would disarm it.

"HI Fawn." I said with my trademark smirk as I advanced on her.

"Cat?" she said uncertainly.

"ENNNT. Sorry wrong guess. Fawn believe it or not, I'm Jade."

She looked at me like I was crazy.

"Here's the real funny part. I'm a version of Jade from the future. One which you blew up Tori and sent me to prison for it. Your first victim in your little murder/frame spree."

She just backed up going down the cat walk her mouth kind of hung open in disbelief.

"Here's the best part. In about 8 years you get busted and sent to prison. The same prison I happened to be at much to my pleasant surprise. You should have seen the expression on your face as I stabbed you to death."

My smile widened. "You killed my Tori and in a few minutes I actually get to kill you a second time."

Her face distorted in rage and she pulled a rather large knife and charged me.

I quickly dodged her attack and moved to the side.

"I've been in prison nine years Fawn, you think you're the first asshole to attack me with a knife or shiv." I laughed. "That happened to me at least once a month."

She just seemed to grow more angry and me and charged me again. I punched her with an uppercut to her chin and quickly grabbed her wrist and made her drop the knife

She swung and hit me in the face but I just shrugged it off.

"You're not going to kill anyone this time, Not Tori," I punched her once in the face.

"Not Robbie." I punched her again in the face even harder.

"Nor any of those other poor bastards you wasted." I punched her a 3rd time sending her staggering backward.

A fourth and final punch to the jaw knocked her out.

I was about to kill her again when I had second thoughts.

"I've already had the satisfaction of killing you. I think prison is better for you. You can rot away in a cell like I did." I said.

By this time I heard a commotion downstairs so I picked up Fawn's unconscious form and headed back downstairs.

I emerged downstairs to see Dr. Becket handing an electronic device to Tori's Dad.

"I disarmed the bomb." Sam said.

"Thanks Jade" I'll call the bomb squad so they can dispose of this.

Before anyone could say anything else I walked out and dumped Fawn unceremoniously on to the stage.

"Here is the piece of dirt that planted the Bomb. Not to mention she hacked Jade's phone planting the pictures and texts." I proclaimed loudly.

Mr. Vega, Andre, Beck, Robbie, Sikowitz, Lane, Trina and Tori looked at me like with utter astonishment.

"Cat you took her out?" Andre asked.

"Damm Straight, Nobody fucks with Cat." I said. I got the feeling that no one would ever tease or make fun of Cat ever again after this.

Tori then went and grabbed Sam pulling him into a hug and said. "Oh my god Jade, thank you."

I smiled knowing I would leap back to my time in a few moments. Where I knew Tori would be waiting for me instead of a prison cell. I walked up to Dr. Becket and pulled him into a hug.

"Thank you for giving my Tori back to me." I whispered. "I can never repay you."

He smiled. "Just live happily ever after with her."

"I will"

No One's POV.

Sam Becket said thanks to Jade and looked to see Al standing there.

Al looked at his hand link.

"You and Jade changed history. Tori Vega eventually marries Jade and becomes a big pop star. Jade west eventually becomes a best selling horror novelist. They have 3 children, a pair of twin girls and a boy. Fawn Lebowitz is sent to prison for life for attempting to kill Tori. Oddly she ends up in the very same cell that Jade once occupied. "

Al's hand link made a noise and he hit it. "I don't know why but in the original history Cat and Robbie marry other people, now they are happily married with 2 children. Both of them very successful in their chosen fields."

Jade just made a Cat like giggle which unnerved her again. But since Jade was about to leap out she decided to really seal the deal between Cat and Robbie.

"Don't be offended if I slap you after this kiss" Jade said to Robbie as she kissed him

In an instant both Sam Becket and the Jade West from 2021 both leapt out returning Cat and Jade to their proper bodies.

Cat suddenly realized she was in the middle of a very passionate kiss with Robbie much to her total surprise.

She didn't slap Robbie but looked very surprised, almost pleasantly so.

"What just happened?" Jade said suddenly very confused not remembering much of anything of her time in the future. "I think I was abducted by a UFO" She mumbled.

"Me Too?" Said an equally confused Cat.

"Are you Ok, Baby? You just save me when you disarmed that bomb." Tori said to Jade with a kiss. "My hero! I love you so much Jade."

Jade wasn't sure what had happened. The last thing she clearly remembered was being in Sikowitz's class when Tori was still mad at her.

"I disarmed a bomb?" Said Jade looking extremely confused.

"A very complex one by the look of it." Said Tori's dad as he looked at the now disarmed bomb.

"Yeah the one Fawn over there planted. Not to mention she was the one that made me think you were cheating on me. Apparently Cat knocked her out." Tori explained to Jade.

Jade looked at the badly beaten form of Fawn Libewitz lying unconscious on the stage with utter amazement as Mr. Vega put handcuffs on her.

Cat looked at her fist and smiled. "I didn't know I had it in me."

Not only did Cat not remember her time in the future she didn't remember Sam or Al either. Her memory of the last day was oddly Swiss cheesed.

Tori took Jade's hand. "Come on Baby, you look like you've had enough for one day I think you or I mean we need to get to bed."

Jade still having little idea what was going on was just happy to have Tori back and let the Latina lead her away.

Robbie looked at Cat. "I'll pick you up at 6 on Saturday."

Cat looked confused. "What?"

"You agreed to go on a date with me." Robbie happily announced.

"I did not!" She protested.

Robbie smiled. "Oh yes you did." He pulled out his phone and played back the video of her agreeing to go on a date with Robbie and the offer couldn't be rescinded."

Cat confusedly shook her head and desperately tried to remember saying those things.

"2nd Base huh, I better have a pretty good time then. Make it 7" Cat announced with a big smile.

Later the next day Jade returned to her home after spending the night at Tori's. She didn't remember anything about what had happened during that day but when in her room she suddenly had a thought.

She reached in her dresser and pulled out the phone number she had gotten from that girl at the record store a few weeks ago.

For a brief instant she had an image of an older version of her self, her eyes full of sadness, pain and regret. It was a version of her who had lost Tori.

Jade suddenly felt the uncontrollable urge to burn the phone number as a feeling of revulsion came over her that she ever accepted it in the first place.

She burned it and vowed to never again to do that. She also vowed to cherish and love Tori until the day she died.

That is exactly what Jade did.

Sam Becket continued leaping into other peoples lives, setting right once went wrong….

The End.

A fun little story. I like to thank every one for reading my little crossover story. I just wanted to indulge my Sci-FI side a bit.

Kudos to you if you caught the Drake and Josh reference in the previous chapter.

So Jade from 2021 not only saved Tori and Sam she played Cupid and got Cat and Robbie together.
