A/N: There's a genre of stories on a few other websites dealing with students who are required to be Nude-In-School, or N-I-S. Hence the title of this story. I haven't found any here on FanFiction so I thought I'd give it a shot. Most of the basics for 'The Program', as it's called, are explained in the first chapter, and so are the differences in this one compared to the other 'Program' stories out there. The others are extremely pornographic and demeaning toward the fairer sex, and I wanted to do a much tamer version for this site.

To make this story work properly, Jade and Beck are still dating at the beginning while Tori and Jade have bonded a little after the stage fighting incident and their forced 'Playdate', so they're more friendly toward each other. (Otherwise Jade would be totally OOC here.)

Victorious N-I-S

Chapter 1

"I'm bored," Jade West angrily huffed as the normal group of six teens (and one ventriloquist mannequin) sat at their usual table in the Asphalt Cafe, just outside of the Hollywood Arts High School. They were surrounded by all of the other students that went to the performance arts school so the area was a bit crowded, just like when they had a Full Moon Jam or one of the other get-togethers held there.

Rex Powers, the puppet, chided, "Jade, you're always bored, so what's different about today?"

The Goth teen glared at the puppet for only a second before she reached over, ripped off Rex's left arm and casually dropped it to the ground, saying, "I guess not much." A triumphant smirk graced her face in satisfaction.

Cat Valentine glanced around the throng of teens and innocently asked, "Does anybody know why we were all told to meet out here before classes start?"

André Harris shrugged his shoulders and answered, "No, Cat. The only thing I heard is Principal Helen wants to make an announcement concerning the school."

After Robbie Shapiro had picked up and reattached Rex's arm. he said, "I heard someone say it has something to do with a new program here at school."

The petite teen with hair the color of a red velvet cupcake turned to Tori Vega and begged, "Tori, have you heard anything about what's going on?"

Not glancing up from the notebook she was scribbling in, the half Latino crossed out a line she'd just written and muttered, "No Cat. I've been concentrating on writing this song. I got the music down but I want to make sure the lyrics are perfect and I need to get it finished by Wednesday, two days from now, when I'm supposed to preform it in class. I wanna get it done now so I have a few days to practice." She quickly returned to her writing, occasionally changing a word here or there and humming to herself.

"Don't worry about it, Cat," Beck Oliver, the six member of the group (not counting Rex) said with a condescending pat to the redhead's shoulder with his free hand. His other hand was firmly around the waist of his girlfriend, Jade. "If it has anything to do with a new program, I'm sure it has to be something to help with our futures in the entertainment industry."

"Well," André smugly said, pointing up to the balcony where Principal Helen was now standing and accepting a mic from her always present, mousy blonde assistant, "we're about to find out."

Helen looked over the student body with a stern glare as she raised the microphone to talk. "Good morning students. As you may or may not have heard on the news recently, the federal, and many of the state governments have relaxed or eliminated a few of the laws concerning female nudity in public. Because of that, we're going to implement a new program here at Hollywood Arts. You may have heard of The Program before," she emphasized the name, "since it's been running in high schools and colleges in Europe, Canada and elsewhere for a few years now."

A loud murmur arose from the gathered students causing Helen to stop for ten seconds or so before she spoke again with a sly smirk. "I see some of you have heard of it. For those of you who haven't, it's also called the Nude-In-School Program."

That brought about a louder response from the teens, which the principle didn't put up with this time. She sternly yelled, causing a bit of feedback from the sound system, "Quiet down, people! Now, you may be wondering just why Hollywood Arts was chosen to be one of the pilot schools for this program. Well, it's simple. Some of you will become actors on the stage or in films and will haveta preform a scene in the nude, so this is a good way to get comfortable with it. Others of you will be stagehands or grips and such, and will have to deal with nude actors. And we'll all haveta deal with nudity of one kind or another with the different laws that have been eliminated here in California. Now, our rules will generally be the same as the ones in Europe, but with a few minor adjustments. The teachers will go over the details of The Program in your first class today."

Just then the bell rang, signaling the students they had five minutes to get to their first class of the morning. Five teens in the group of friends started to move to the entrance before they noticed Tori was still sitting there, furiously going over the song she was writing. Cat went back to guide the totally distracted teen to Sikowitz's class.

"All right children," Sikowitz said as he held up a pile of pamphlets to his class, "I'm supposed to pass these out and tell you about The Program." He looked over the room for a second before focusing on the Goth girl and asked, "Jade, will you pass these out?"

Jade slumped back in her chair, arms crossed, and firmly grunted, "No."

Always trying to be the helpful one, Robbie jumped up and, leaving Rex sitting in the chair, said, "I'll do it."

"Of course Rob will do it," Rex chided from his seat, not moving the lower part of his mouth, or any part of his body. "He likes to kiss ass."

"Rex!" the nerdy looking boy yelped as he took the pamphlets from the teacher and started handing them out. "I'm just being helpful."

"That's not what you told me the other night," Rex countered, still not opening his mouth. "You said you wanted to get Cat or Tori or Jade alone somewhere and kiss and lick their..."

"No!"

Rex was interrupted by Jade's yell after hearing her name, and also having a good idea exactly what Robbie wanted to do to her and her girl friends. She quickly stood up from her seat, stomped over to the puppet, swiftly picked it up and not so gently tossed Rex out the window. As she returned to her seat, she arrogantly brushed her hands off in satisfaction.

"Rex," Robbie yelled, shoved the rest of the pamphlets to one of the Shruggers to hand out and dashed over to the window. After retrieving his 'friend', Robbie chided, "I told you that in strictest confidence."

"Never-the-less," Sikowitz quickly stepped in before things got more out of hand. "You can read all about the program described in the pamphlet at your leisure, but I'll tell you the basics right now. Sixteen female students, four from each grade, will have to attend school for one week, naked." He chagrinly noted, "Well, not totally naked. The girls will be allowed to wear shoes or sandals of some sort."

Cat raised her hand and innocently asked, "Aren't you naked even if you're only wearing shoes and the rest of your body is bare?"

"No Cat," Jade spoke up. "The definition of naked is being without garments of any kind. Shoes are considered to be a garment, so if you're wearing 'em, you're technically not naked." At the confused look she received from a lot of the students in the room, she explained, "You know I like to write scripts and plays and such, so I'm a bit of a wordsmith. I like to be precise with my words." When she still got a few questioning looks, she barked, "Look it up in the dictionary."

"Precisely," Sikowitz stepped in. "But for this program, footwear is allowed. We wouldn't want any of the girls to injure themselves by stepping on a rock or shard of glass or something sharp. Therefore, the definition of naked will be without clothes, but wearing some kind of footwear. Anyway, the students will also have to use a towel whenever they sit down. Again, this is for health and safety reasons.

"Now, the only thing the nude students will have to do between classes is present themselves for any reasonably asked request. What is a reasonable request, you may ask? It means they must pose however they are requested if anyone asks them nicely. That'll start tomorrow so the girls will have time getting used to being nude in school."

Beck spoke up, querying, "What about touching? My cousin up in Canada is in the program there and they have to allow people to touch them if asked."

Sikowitz answered, "Only if the program participant agrees to be touched; And then there's to be absolutely no penetration at all."

Jade had finally received one of the pamphlets and was skimming through it when she laughed and said, "This is a lot different than the program in Europe. I've read all about it and their program normally leads to the students masturbating and having sex in the hallways, or outside on the school lawn."

"Yes it does," Sikowitz lightly laughed before becoming seriously again. "But that because we're not as liberal with nudity and sex as a lot of the European countries are. In the future, it's hoped that the U.S. will ease up its puritanical ways and become more in line with world views on nudity and sex. This program is designed to begin that process, but it's also being implemented to prove a point: That being naked does not automatically lead to having sex."

Cat innocently asked, "But if that's the case, why are there only girls in the program?"

Before the teacher could answer, Jade said with an evil smirk, "I bet it's because when a guy gets aroused, he shows it more than us girl do; And that's not fair. Don't we girls deserve to actually see what a potential boyfriend has for us to play with?"

"You're partially right, Jade," Sikowitz agreed. "Boys do show their excitement more than girls do and that's why they're exempt from the program and not allowed to go nude in public; At least for now. The government decided that only women of your species should be able to go nude so things don't get out of hand, so to speak. They want to gradually work up to having overt erections in public and at school."

Jade groused, "Well that sucks."

Beck leaned over to his girlfriend and whispered, "Yeah, that's probably the reason us guys won't be showing a hard-on soon; So you don't get a chance to suck, except in private." That brought a light snorting laugh from the raven-haired beauty. She and the handsome aspiring actor hadn't gone that far in their relationship just yet. Hands had wandered a bit during their regular, fully clothed make-out sessions, but neither was comfortable enough to take that next step.

André looked up from the brochure in his hand and asked, "What's this about participants getting relief at the beginning of a class?"

"Oh that," Sikowitz said, quickly skimming through his own pamphlet in hand. "It only means that if a participant is sexually aroused, they're allowed to head to the restroom and masturbate during the first five minutes of class to relieve themselves of the sexual pressures that have built while showing themselves off." He looked directly at Jade who'd opened her mouth to say something and, anticipating her question, added, "And no, Jade. They're not allowed to ask anyone, male or female, to help relieve themselves. And they won't be required to use the boys restrooms like in Europe."

Cat raised her hand and, not waiting to be called on, asked, "What are the new laws that Principal Helen mentioned earlier. I haven't heard about any laws being passed."

Before the teacher could answer, a tall, thin, messy-haired blonde teen stuck his head in the doorway nearest the stage and said, "Excuse me."

Miffed by the interruption, Sikowitz turned to glare at the boy and barked, "What is it, Sinjin?"

Unfazed by the stare and tone of the teacher, the mop-haired boy announced, "Principal Helen want to see Jade, Cat and Tori in her office."

Author's Note: Yes, I know that the other stories never mention exactly where their cities are located and that some of the tales may be situated in the United States. I had them all located outside the U.S. in this story to set it apart from the others.

If you want to read any of the other tales, search for NIS and you should get quite a few hits. My favorite series is the Donna and Crysta stories located on two different sites. If you get the original site, you'll find it very had to navigate, but well worth it.
