I'm really bored and I'm watching one of my fave films, Sweeney Todd, and and idea popped into my head, yeah that's right you read me, popped! What would Sweeney Todd be like if it was filmed with victorious characters? This will be a lot like the film but with the names changed... hope you like it.

By the way, the characters have been given their role for a specific reason, it took me a while to figure each one out because, like the film, many of the victorious people have certain links with each other and André was especially difficult to place because of the racism that would have been going on during that time period so I hope that he fits his character and others just fit with some roles but will be OOC (especially Sikowitz)

Disclaimer: *posh voice* I do not own the rights to Nickelodeon's hit television show Victorious and I also do not own the rights to the (supposedly scary yet I find it absolutely hilarious) film Sweeney Todd: The demon barber of Fleet Street. Now if you will excuse me I will go home and dream of Ariana Grande being my lesbian lover (not kidding. I had that dream once... now regretting my sister being the lesbian of the family).

The ship sailed through the mist into the Thames and under the bridge as the young man, no older than 17, practically a boy, with long, dark curly hair walked towards the bow of the large boat and started his song.

"I have sailed the world,

beheld its wonders

from the Dardanelles

to the mountains of Peru.

But there's no place like London.

The boy did not notice that a dark shadow had walked up beside him looking out to sea and was quite shocked when it joined his song.

"No, there's no place like London."

"Mr. Todd?" the boy spoke in a tone which almost sounded scared.

"You are young,

life has been kind to you.

You will learn." The man sped up his singing and kept his eyes on the deep water while the boy watched the bridge draw up to let the ship through.

"There's a hole in the world like a great black pit,

and the vermin of the world inhabit it,

and its morals aren't worth what a pig could spit

and it goes by the name of London.

At the top of the hole sit a privileged few,

making mock of the vermin in the lower zoo,

turning beauty into filth and greed." his voice changed once again and he started singing the original tune that the young man beside him had sung.

"I too have sailed the world,

and seen its wonders.

For the cruelty of men,

is as wondrous as Peru.

But there's no place like London."

The ship docked at the side of the river and the two men walked away from the large boat. Once again the sailor attempted to talk to the dark man. "is everything all right Mr. Todd?" his curious eyes stared at the older man waiting to see if he would get a reply.

Mr. Todd, with his back turned to the young man, replied with emotion in his voice for the first time since they had met. "I beg your indulgence, Robbie. My mind is far from easy. In these once-familiar streets, I feel shadows...everywhere"

"shadows?" questioned Robbie.

Now speaking with more emotion than before Mr. Todd spoke again, "Ghosts." The older man started walking only to be followed by Robbie who is still waiting for the answer to help his curiosity.

Singing once again, Mr. Todd stopped walking and changed to a softer tune.

"There was a barber and his wife,

and she was beautiful.

A foolish barber and his wife,

she was his reason and his life,

and she was beautiful."

Mr. Todd's mind had cleared of all thoughts except one, 15years earlier, he and his beautiful wife were walking through a small market with their tiny daughter in her white dress.

"And she was virtuous,

and he was naive"

A strange looking middle aged man in posh clothing walked through the market staring at the woman then turns to his older accomplice and whispers something in his ear.

"There was another man who saw,

that she was beautiful.

A pious vulture of the law,

who, with a gesture of his claw,

removed the barber from his plate,

then there was nothing but to wait."

Two members of the police force walked swiftly towards the younger version of Mr. Todd and dragged him away leaving the wife and child alone in the street, confused and scared.

"And she would fall,

so soft,

so young,

so lost,

and, oh, so beautiful."

The man was pulled back to reality when he heard a voice, "And the lady, sir," Robbie "Did she succumb?"

Mr. Todd, still singing his soft tune, answered the boy but still did not turn to him.

"Oh, that was many years ago,

I doubt if anyone would know."

He finally turns to look at the boy but cant look him in the eyes. "I would like to thank you Robbie. If you hadn't spotted me, I'd be lost on the ocean still."

Still curious about the strange man, Robbie wanted to know more. "Will I ever see you again?"

"You might find me if you like." Mr. Todd turned his head away from the sailor once again. "Around fleet street, I wouldn't wonder."

Robbie held out his hand for the older man to shake it, "Until then, my friend."

The hand was left out and unshaken as Mr. Todd walked away towards the dark streets of London. His voice had changed back to the fast tune that he had once had on the ship.

"There's a hole in the world,

like a great black pit,

and it's filled with people,

who are filled with shit,

and the vermin of the world inhabit it."

I know it's not very long but I just wanted to get the first couple of songs finished. So, can you guess who is Sweeney Todd is? Or even the judge? Please review and let me know what you think and remember that all characters are linked with the characters on victorious.

I also don't know if I should continue with my other story 'secrets' so please let me know about that.

XD - big smiley because I'm super happy :) because the guy I really like asked me out and my 'friend' Jess has finally stopped being my friend... what a great day!

Thanks for reading.

Ariana fan XD (Sarah/ Gertrude lol)
