Some of my shorter stuff. The later chapters are better. Sorry about the 3rd chapter mix-up in The Puppet Thief. It's fixed now. Thanks for reading!
5. Sikowitz Gets a Date
DISCLAIMER: Guess what I don't own? (Answer: Victorious)
[Acting class, Sikowitz is teaching them.]
"Drive-by acting challenge! You're all Australian Alligator-Wranglers!" Sikowitz shouted.
"Aye, why don't you put some shrimp on the barbie while I catch meself a gator!" André yelled.
"Blimey, that croc just bit off me one good hand!" Cat exclaimed.
"I was eating when I got a bloody Lamington all over me jumper!" Tori shouted.
The whole room exploded with Aussie lingo, until the bell rang. Everyone poured out of the room except for Cat, Tori, André and Robbie.
Sikowitz walked towards the door with a sad expression on his face.
"What's wrong, Sikowitz?" Tori asked.
"Did we do something wrong?" Robbie asked.
"Other than showing up?" Rex added.
"No, children, you did fine. I guess I'm going home again. Alone." Sikowitz sighed. He walked out the door.
"Sikowitz seemed sad," André said.
"That's how my Dad acts when I come home from counseling and I'm still not normal," Cat said.
"Maybe he's lonely?" Tori suggested.
"Maybe," André agreed.
"Can we go eat now? I'm hungry!" Cat said.
"Sure, what do they have?" Tori asked.
"Baby tots! Yay!" Cat exclaimed. She grabbed Robbie's arm and ran out of the classroom.
Tori and André looked at each other, said, "Baby tots! Yay!" and took off to lunch.
[Everyone is sitting together at lunch.]
"Ugh, I hate baby tots!" Jade moaned. "Why is the menu this week all disgusting? I'm ready for some real food!"
"Then you'll be happy to know I made reservations for two at the Red Crawfish tomorrow night," Beck told her.
"I like Crawfish," Jade remarked. "They better not make me wear a bib."
"They won't make you wear a bib."
"I love bibs!" Sinjin said as he walked by.
"I don't!" Jade said.
He ran back to the table. "I know. You said so in your diary!"
"What?" Jade asked.
"Nothing!" Sinjin ran away.
"Stay away from my house!" Jade yelled.
"Hey guys," Tori walked up to the table. Cat, Robbie and André were huddled around Cat's phone. "What are you watching?" She asked.
Cat looked up. "A video!" She looked down at it again and giggled.
"What video?" Tori asked.
"The foot gets married!" André answered.
Tori looked behind their shoulders and laughed. "Oh foot... You guys! Put down the pearphone!" Tori demanded. She looked over at Beck and Jade kissing. "Guys! Stop that! We have a problem!"
"We're kinda busy here," Jade said.
"Not anymore!" Tori said and sat down. "We have to help Sikowitz!"
"With what?" André asked.
"Guys! He's lonely!" Tori said.
"And we care?" Jade asked.
"... Yes! He's our teacher! And hasn't he always helped us when we were sad?"
They all looked at each other. "No." Beck said.
"Never," André said.
"Not really," Cat said.
"Nope." Robbie added.
"Well, I say, we get Sikowitz a date!" Tori decided.
They were quiet. "How?" Beck asked.
"He's Sikowitz," André added.
"There's a reason he's lonely," Rex added.
"We can change that!" Tori said. "Maybe... Cat! Do you still do makeovers?"
Cat shook her head. "Not since that guy got mad and-"
"You're gonna makeover Sikowitz!"
"Okey-dokey!" Cat clapped.
"I can help! I'm great with male makeup!" Robbie added.
"Okay! Me and André can find him a date!" Tori declared.
"André can what now?" André asked.
[In the hallways, Tori and André run up to Sikowitz.]
"Sikowitz! Wait up!" Tori ran up and grabbed his shoulder.
"And you're touching me!" Sikowitz said. "Can I help you two?"
"No, but we can help you! You have a date tomorrow night! And we're gonna help you get ready!" Tori said.
"A date?" He asked.
"I didn't agree to this," André added.
"Neither did I," Sikowitz agreed. "Look, kids, it's nice what you're trying to do, but I-"
Suddenly a woman ran by and took his satchel.
"I love you too, mom!" Sikowitz smiled. "I gotta get a date!"
"That was your mom?" André asked.
"Who?" He asked.
"Just be at my house tomorrow!" Tori said.
"Okay!" Sikowitz walked away.
André looked at her. "We don't have a date for him!"
"But we will! We'll find one online." Tori nodded. "Tori got it all under control, baby."
P.S. I'm going to start a series of short stories about Robbie and Cat's childhood adventures together, called Growing Up with Ms. Valentine. If you want to read it, the first chapter is coming out Monday.
