Chapter 1: How It Started
Author's Notes: I don't own Victorious. For VicJORIous96. Thoughts and flashbacks in italics.
Cat and Jade have been dating for a while now (much to Tori's disapproval). So long they probably don't remember how they even got together, but Tori does.
It was 3 months ago…
Cat's Sky Store obsession was back and Jade and Tori were trying to stop her, so they all three met up at Tori's house to discuss it.
"Hey Cat," Tori started.
"Why am I here again?" Cat asked. "I need to be home when they deliver the world's best recorder pillow."
"We're here," Tori continued. "For that very reason." She looked at her to make sure she was still listening. "Listen, Cat, you NEED to stop buying weird things at Sky Sto-"
"But they fit my personality!" she interrupted.
"No arguments here," Jade said.
"Hey, Jade, come here," Cat directed.
"No, I'm good," Jade replied, although Tori could see something in her eyes that said something different.
See, by now Jade had broken up with Beck and Tori was noticing signs she had a crush on Cat, but would never admit it.
"Oh, come on Jade," Cat insisted. "I just wanna show you something."
"I don't want to see what you got at Sky St- okay, fine." She walked over and looked at what Cat had bought, or at least she tried to, but instead Cat started kissing her. "W-what was that for?" She was shocked. The girl she'd been crushing on just kissed her. What else was she supposed to say?
Cat grinned. A weird beeping noise was coming from her orange bracelet with heart-shaped beads. "It's the world's greatest love-detector bracelet."
Both Jade and Tori were shocked, but they were 2 different types of shock. For Jade, it was the shock that the person who she liked liked her back. For Tori though, it was the shock that the person she loved would never like her back.
"I gotta go," Tori said and left them alone to keep kissing.
It had been 3 months since then and they were still together, but Tori knew it was a mistake. The only good thing that came out of it was, somehow, Jade had gotten Cat to quit Sky Store.
They were in the lunchroom, sitting where they usually did in their little group. Cat and Jade were kissing like there was no tomorrow, leaving Tori with an angry look on her face.
"Hot," Rex said. "Get out your camera, fool, there's some hot lesbian kissing going on."
"Rex!" Robbie yelled.
Jade stopped kissing Cat and went over to the puppet known as Rex and wrestled him out of Robbie's hand.
"You hit me, I'll sue," Rex said.
"Bring it," Jade threatened. She then started whacking him and ripping him up in every single place possible. After she was done destroying him, she gave him back to Robbie.
"Rex?" Robbie asked, hoping he was okay.
"Uh… Uh… I'll never question Jade again," he stuttered.
Jade was satisfied. Tori offered a high five, which she accepted.
Well, Tori thought. I guess high fives are the closest I'll ever get to kissing you for a while, so I'll take it if I can.
"Yay Jade," Cat clapped, then went in to kiss her again.
"Umm… this is fun and all, but can we stop kissing for a moment?" Jade asked.
"WHAT'S THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?" Cat complained, suddenly offended.
Jade sighed. This had been happening a lot lately. It felt as if every time Jade said something, Cat was suddenly offended. Like just last night…
Jade had called Cat to see if she wanted to hang out with her and Tori at Inside Out Burger. "Hi Valentine."
"Hey We…We…Hey Jade," Cat replied.
"You want to go with me and Tori to inside out Burger?" she asked, surprisingly sweet.
"WHY ARE YOU ALWAYS INVITING HER ON OUR DATES?" Cat replied angrily. "AM I A BAD GIRLFRIEND? IS THAT WHAT THIS IS ABOUT?"
"No…I…Okay, fine, I'll tell Tori she can't go," Jade sighed.
"KK," Cat responded happily. "See you tonight."
"Okay," she hung up, then turned around. "Hey, Tori, listen…"
"It just means that I have something to ask you," Jade told her back at the table.
"YOU'RE BREAKING UP WITH ME?" Cat was convinced.
"NO!" Jade replied angrily. "I just wanted to ask: what are you ding tomorrow?"
"Oh, nothing," Cat responded happily. "Wanna go see the final Harry Potter movie with me?" She smiled.
"Sure," she quickly agreed, because she knew if she said anything else, Cat would find another reason to be angry, just like she always did. That, and she kind of wanted to see it. Just then, the bell rang, much to Tori and Jade's relief.
