A/N: This idea has been in my head for quite some time and I just haven't got round to writing it. I got this idea from a film I watched called 'My Fake Fiance' and although its's roughly the same plot I am planning on making it different. I'm not sure wheteher or not it counts as copying the film as I'm using the 'Victorious' Characters for it but I hope that it doesn't as I've tried to make it very different anyway, I really enjoyed writing this chapter and I am quite happy with the turn out so... I hope you like it...

Disclaimer: I do not own Victorious or the characters. Also I don't own the rights to 'My Fake Fiance' I'm just borrowing them for a story idea...

Chapter One:

It was heart-breaking really. Here I was at my best friend, Cat's wedding sitting at the 'Singles' table next to none other than; Jade West! Of all people my dear friend Cat had decided to seat me next to Jade. Not, Andre… Not Beck… but Jade! It was ridiculous, even Rex would have been more bearable than Jade West. I sighed and leaned back in my seat. Jade was yet again staring at me with those intense blue eyes of hers. What was her problem?

I turned to face her and she had this amused look on her face. She turned to face the dance floor where Cat was currently dancing the first dance with her new husband; Robbie.

"They took their time, right?" Jade said this being the first thing she'd said all night. I couldn't help the smile that crept on my face. She was kind of right, Robbie had held a torch for that girl for a very long time. He had even written a song for her when we were still in school but of course the red-head hadn't realised it was a song for her. It was good though that after all that time he had spent chasing her she had finally opened her eyes and noticed. They'd been together for at least three years now. Their relationship had started shortly after Cat's friend, Sam moved in with her.

"Yeah, tell me about it" I replied with an eye roll. Jade chuckled then turned her gaze over to the table that Beck and Andre were at. She caught Beck's eye for a second, then shuddered a little. I gave her a look and she blushed under my gaze.

"What was that all about?" I asked, suspiciously. She looked down at her drink and stirred it with the straw.

"I uh… kind of owe Beck some money…" She admitted, still gazing intently at her Miami Vice cocktail. I scoffed. Typical, Jade West!

"How much, do you owe him?" I asked. She looked up and faced me looking me straight in the eyes.

"You don't wanna know" Jade admitted, sadly.

"How do you even owe him money?" I asked. It might be a stupid question but it sounded right in my head.

"I um… Kind of… um… gambling…." She mumbled. I rolled my eyes. It was something that you'd expect from a girl like her. She hadn't been like this during school. She'd been very much like a gank in school, torturing me with every chance she got but she'd never had done any of the things I knew she'd been doing lately. Gambling though, that was a new low that I'd always thought Jade would steer clear of. She was better than that. I gave her a disapproving look.

"I thought you were better than that" I voiced my earlier thoughts. The girl next to me just raised her pierced eyebrow and sighed.

"You don't know me!" She protested, turning back to her alcoholic beverage. I glared at her then turned back to the dance floor which had now been occupied by the rest of the guests. I looked around for the white wedding dress and long red-hair but she wasn't anywhere to be seen.

"Hi" I heard a familiar voice shout into my ear, I turned to face the blushing bride who is now standing right next to me.

"Congrats, Cat!" Jade beams beside me before she reaches into her clutch bag for a black envelope covered in glitter. Cat looks at it curiously as the raven haired girl hands it to her. Smiling brightly the red-head opens it using her carefully manicured finger-nails. Inside the envelope is what seems to be three pieces of striped paper with the familiar handwriting of none other than Jade West.

"What is it?" Cat asks furrowing her eyebrows, Jade looks sad for a moment before opening her mouth to speak.

"It's a letter, Cat… Explaining why I haven't got you a gift yet… I will get you one!" Jade promises and Cat just shrugs her off.

"Jade, you're presence is better than any gift you could have gotten us… besides have you seen all those presents over there?" Cat says, gesturing to the table on the left side of the small stage. It was covered in white cloth and draped in tons of presents of all shapes and sizes.

"Anyway… I hope you two enjoy..." Cat started to walk away but I grab her skinny wrist so that she comes to a halt.

"Not that I don't want to spend any time with the… lovely, Jade West but… Why did you seat us two on a table next to each other… with a bunch of "Singles" We don't know?" I asked. Cat's face went red as she avoided my gaze.

"I… Umm… Robbie wants me!" She mumbled hurriedly as she ran towards her husband at the next table.

"You really think I'm lovely, Vega?" Jade asks. I roll my eyes.

"I was being sarcastic Jade" I tell her very annoyed at my former class-mate. Jade just shrugged and went back to her drink. Wow, you might as well marry it! We sit in silence for a while longer before the pale girl beside me finally breaks the silence by clearing her throat. I turn to face her giving her a curious look.

"What?" I ask.

"How much money do you think all those gifts are worth?" Jade asks.

"Probably a fortune" I admit, Jade groans.

"If I'd have known that all I needed to earn a small fortune was to get married then I'd have done that sooner!" She retorts. "It's crazy though, isn't it?" Jade asks me after another long silence.

"What is?" I ask.

"That they get rewarded for falling in love with someone and getting married while… people like you and I and you know Mr and Miss nobody on the other end of the table get nothing… I mean isn't finding someone in this impossible world reward enough?" Jade asks. I consider her words for a brief moment before I realise that although her reasoning is very… odd, she's actually right.

"I guess so" I agree.

"Is that everything?" Andre asks me as we leave my old apartment with the last remaining boxes. I nod.

"Yeah, I think so" I tell him as we get back onto the street where the moving van is parked although as we get closer I realize that it's not where we left it.

"Oh Chizz!" Andre exclaims giving me an un-easy look.

"Um... Did... you... Um... lock... the van?" I ask, looking back at him. He looks panicked for a second.

"I um... thought I did!" Andre admits. I sigh.

"It's okay... I still have three boxes left" I say, as I place the box I was holding on the ground and he does the same with the two he was holding. My box contains books and DVD's and a lamp. One of his boxes contains blankets and a duvet cover and the other pillows and cushions.

"I've got the basics" I beam as I wrap the boxes back up and head to Andre's car, as I still haven't learned to drive.

Later that day when I get to my new apartment I plug in my lamp in what was supposed to be my bedroom and set up a make-shift bed of blankets and cushions. I sigh to myself as I dial the number of none other than, Jade West!

"Vega?" Jade asks when she picks up.

"Yep" I reply. "We need to talk" I add.

"I'm listening" Jade assures me and I take a deep breath before I explain my crazy idea.

"Do you remember what you were saying at Cat's wedding the other day?" I ask.

"Yeah" She says and I can feel her voice wavering.

"Well I've got an idea... that can help both of us!" I say, my voice shaky.

"Wait... what's you're problem?" Jade asks.

"I um... lost all of my furniture" I admit reluctantly. Just as I'd suspected she laughs at that and after a while I laugh along with her.

"So what's you're idea?" She asks, all serious now in her tone.

"We pretend to be engaged to be married!" I tell her.

"How will that help?" Jade asks me, evidently confused at my idea.

"Wedding presents!" I explain and although I can't see her I know that her blue eyes just lit up.

"Good thinking, Vega!" She smirks. (Well I assume she's smirking)

A/N: Okay. So um... What did you think? Should I continue with it or is it a lost cause? Please let me know... Thanks for reading, if you did read it :)
