This is just a quick one-shot I decided to make after watching 'Helen Back Again'. It may end up being more, if anyone wants it to be. I'm quoting the lines word for word from the episode, from the scene at Tori's locker to the end of the conversation with Helen. Enjoy.
Disclaimer: I own nothing in this story but the idea. Dan Schneider owns VicTORIous and it's characters.
Standing in front of her locker, stands Tori Vega and her friends. Upon hearing that she's getting kicked out of Hollywood Arts, she slowly takes out her notebooks and pictures that she put up throughout the year. After she closes it and turns off the 'Make It Shine' lights she had installed, she turns slowly, a frown evident on her face.
"I made it dim."
"I don't get it." Robbie speaks up after Tori. "They can't just kick Tori out of school."
"Yeah they can." André says, lack of his usual happiness.
"Ok. Well, I'm going home now." The young half-latina says, slowly walking away from her old locker. "Forever."
Grabbing her forearm, Beck speaks up. "No. You're not leaving this school."
Upset over how her boyfriend acted with stopping Tori, Jade speaks her mind. "She has to. I mean, I'd feel really bad about it, seriously. But, you know, bye."
Looking in Jade's eyes, and a hint of sadness, Tori looks to Jade. "I think I'll miss you least of all."
"Wait, what do you mean, she's not leaving?" André asks Beck.
"I mean, we're all going to talk to Helen about this right now."
"Yeah, lets." The young puppeteer agrees with Beck. While André agrees as well.
"Well, what are you guys gonna say?"
"That if you have to leave Hollywood Arts, then I'm leaving too." Cat says, answering Tori.
"You would do that for me?"
"No, I really love this school." Cat says, this time acting a little shy that she said she'd leave.
"Well," Jade chimes in, bored of the conversation. "I'm gonna get some gum."
"Wait, Jade."
"What do you want Beck?"
"You're really that ok with Tori leaving, that you don't even react?"
"Why should I? We've never been friends."
"Really? How often do you mess with her?"
"Everyday. Why?"
"How often does she not fight you on it? How often does she challenge you?"
"Almost every time. She makes it fun."
"So, you would rather she leave, and everyone just runs from you, not giving you a challenge?"
"Why do you ask?"
"Because as much as you say you don't like her, you do. You're glad someone doesn't just roll over to your insults."
"Ok, fine!" Jade yells, knowing where Beck is going. "I admit, I will miss her. Happy. I'll help her stay, just because she entertains me. Nothing else."
Not letting anyone answer her, Jade walks towards the front entrance of the school, where Helen and her assistant walked in.
Stopping short of bumping into the new principle, they all take a small step back.
"Hey." Tori says shyly.
Seeing the small group stop, Helen looks to them, curious. "Did you all want something?"
Pushing Beck to the front, where Helen is, everyone somewhat hides behind him. Jade is the only one not.
"We don't think Tori should get kicked out of this school." He says, mustering up enough courage for his voice not to falter.
"Uh, Tori?" Helen asks, unsure of who they're talking about.
Raising her hand slightly, Tori steps up. "Vega?"
"Oh yeah. Tori Vega." Helen says, grabbing her PearPad from her assistant. "My notes here say she was kicked out because she's untalented and irritating."
"Excuse me, but a lot of people think that I am talented."
"Oh, you are. And pretty as a pickle." With a slight pause, Helen continues. "Now why are you children asking me about Tori Vega?"
"I'm Tori Vega." Tori says, raising her hand again.
"No, no no no. This," Helen says, turning her PearPad around, showing the gang a picture of Trina from her re-audition. "is Tori Vega."
After Rex says 'Dun dun dun' somewhat dramatically, Tori looks at Helen.
"No, that's my older sister, Trina Vega."
"Oh. You mixed up the names."
"I have personal problems." Helen's assistant says, turning her head away.
"I knew it was a mistake."
"You get to stay." Cat and André say to Tori.
"Good, my fun's not over yet then. Now that Vega's staying, I'm gonna go get some gum. Like I wanted to earlier."
I'm gonna end it here for now. If anyone wants it to continue, let me know. I'll see what I can do.
