The prom date

Disclaimer: I do not own Victorious or any other related characters, otherwise Robbie would already date Trina, Jade or Cat.

"Dude, you have been lied to. Cat doesn't have a date to the prome."

"She said she does."

"Man, no one is named Tug...And what football player would work at 'Bad, Bath and Beyond' to sell pillow cases and fruit soap? She just doesn't want to go with you."

"..."

"Accept it ."

"She lied to me. Why is she doing that to me. That little...that little..."

He couldn't find the right words, but one thing was for sure, he was hurt and incredible depressed. Robbie had to muster up all of his courage to ask her out and all she was doing was lying. Was he really that repellant?

The very first Hollywood Arts Prom was on its way. Only a few more days and there would be an enormous party. A lot of couples would have fun and spent some quality time together and of course there would be a prom king and a prom queen. And who else would be more qualified to be the queen than Trina Vega? She knows full well that she would win, after all she was the prettiest girl at the HA. But some extra help would certainly not be that bad.

The votes for the election will be given via internet and when it comes down to the evaluation there could only be one person in charge. Sinjin. So all she had to do was to go to him and convince him to help her out by manipulating the results a bit. Of course Trina does it only to be on the safe side for it was completely unnecessary, but, heh, why not. After a briefly search she finally found him in the main hallway and it would have been easy to just cross the room, but out of the corner of her eyes she noticed something which made her lose track of her initially plans. It was the sight of Robbie who was sitting on the stairs at the entrance and looked disheartened.

"Hey Robbie, are you okay? What's the matter?"

"Oh, hi Trina. It's nothing."

As if she was going to accept that answer. He had a sad look on his face and it pretty much seemed like he was loosing his live power. It was confusing that it is even possible to look that way, but it just made that impression.

"I don't believe you."

She sits down right next to him on the steps.

"And now spill, what's up?"

It sure is odd how things chanced over the course of the last few month. At first Robbie was just a friend of her little sister, a real weirdo on top of that and if she was honest to herself she had to say that she just didn't had a thing for her gang back then. They were friends of her little sister and no one was an A-lister, therefore they were way out of her league. Well, they still are, but after all what happend, all they have been through together and what they experienced, Trina started to befriend them one after the other. Not with all of them of course, she really couldn't be friends with that Jade-gal, she is just creepy. But Robbie was a nice and funny guy. It was pleasing to hang out with him occasionally. She liked him and she even offered him a special treatment for his feet by some exotic fish. I think that says it all.

"Speak up, I am waiting. And take the damn puppet away." She snapped Rex and tossed him away. He didn't care.

"I really don't think that is something that you would find interesting."

"I do have asked you for it, right?"

"Ok, I've asked Cat to be my date for the prom."

"Hey, great, you are both crazy, I think that's a perfect match."

"She said 'no'."

"Oh."

"Yeah, that's not all to it. She even lied to me that she already has a date. Tug. As if somebody would be named like that."

She really could sympathize with him. It never felt nice to be lied to. That's why she told all those nerds who asked her out that she has absolutely no interest in them at all. Sure it may hurt, but it would be a lot worse when they find out that she lied to them. Those poor boys would suffer and that wasn't in her interest. She is no Jade West.

"I'm sorry, Robbie."

"Am I really that repellant?"

"..."

"Say nothing."

"Oh Robbie, of course you're not repellant. Rex, sure, but not you."

She had to smile at that thought. Sometimes Rex really was a nasty little puppet and look even Robbies lips moved a bit.

"Maybe she has her reasons. But she really shouldn't have lied to you, she should know that other people might get hurt by it."

"I feel so stupid, what made me think that she would actually go out with me?"

"You really like her, huh?"

"She is cool and I don't have any chances by the other girls. Most of them didn't even reacted when I asked them. Or they laughed at me."

"Oh, come on."

"Do you know Miranda?"

"Yes."

"She was laughing so hard that she had to hold her sides and got hardly any breath."

"Uhh."

"Let's get serious, I'm a laughing stock."

"Hey, I won't let you talk like that over a friend of mine."

"Did you say friend?"

"What's with that surprised look? Yes, you are my friend, why else would I be sitting here and talk to you?"

"You've got a point there."

Trina couldn't help but to feel sorry for him while seeing him like that. She liked him to much to bear with it.

"Incidentally I, too, don't have a date for the prome."

"But I am sure that someone will ask you."

"And how about when we go to the prom together."

Robbie was a bit surprised and shocked to say the least. Well, he was totally shocked and his eyes got wide. That was something he really didn't expected.

"What do you mean by that, Trina?"

"Is there more than just one way to interpret that question?"

"But I am way out of your league."

"With whom I'm going to the prom and having fun with is something I still decide for myself. So, what about?"

"Shouldn't I be the one asking you?"

"Yeah, but you did not."

"It would be a pleasure to go to the ball with you."

"Great, so then it is a date."

"Yes."

"But leave the puppet home."

A/N: At first I was just a Cabbie fan, I mean they are just so cute together and they are both weird. But then I started reading something on a Victorious Wiki about other pairings like Rade and Tribbie and somehow I felt instantaniously in love with them. It was just shortly before this episode got aired and when I saw Trina walking by after Robbie asked Cat the very first thought I got was: 'Wouldn't it be great if she would go after Robbie?' It was just the perfect timing, but instead she looked for Sinjin out of all people. Anyway I thought this episode could need some more Tribbie and drama and I'm really looking forward to finish this story. Oh and I have to say sorry to all the guys out there whose names are Tug.

Now fame me, flame me, just give me some reviews. I really like to know your thoughts about it.
