It takes everything in Jade not to just rip her wig off right there at the bar in Nozu.
It’s ridiculous, really, the notion that Tori thinks it would be fun for the three of them should go to the bar with their blonde wigs from the movie. But Jade complies because she’s Tori and she kind of has a stupid crush on the singer, even if she won’t say it out loud.
But Tori is excited the whole drive there, and Jade lets her, even if she does make a snarky remark or two in the process.
“This is so cool,” Tori muses to Cat while they wait for their food. “We’re blondes! Woo!”
Jade turns to them, giving Tori a once over. Yeah, she’s cute for a blonde, but personally, Jade prefers brunettes.
Tori gasps, a realization hitting her. “We’re like princesses.”
Jade inwardly groans. This is the idiot she decided to have a crush on?
“Can you be the princess that gets poisoned?” Jade asks with a tilt of her head and a smile.
Tori scoffs at her comment.
“Why are you so excited to be blonde?” Cat finally asks Tori.
“Cause guys love blonde girls, especially with blue eyes,” Tori explains, motioning to Cat’s blue contacts she had in for filming. “You watch. Tonight we’re going to get extra special treatment.”
Jade works her jaw, looking straight forward rather than at Tori. She tries to keep her expression bored or even judgmental the best she can. Of course Tori’s trying to get a guy’s attention - really, Jade shouldn’t be surprised. Tori has been single for a while now.
Jade really shouldn’t even be mad about it because it’s just Tori being Tori, but she hates the way her stomach twists at a thought of any guy having Tori’s attention tonight, dumb wig or not.
“My brother gets special treatment from special doctors,” Cat tells them. “It’s court ordered.”
Neither Tori or Jade respond, deciding to let that one sit as it is. The waiter brings them water - like any waiter would for any customer - but Tori is insistent that it’s because they have their stupid blonde wigs on. Jade just rolls her eyes.
“Cha-ching, yeah-uh!” Tori exclaims before taking a sip of her water.
Jade resists an eye roll, but deadpans, “It’s a magical night.”
