"Jake! We've got your schedule!" Dan Schneider walked up to the young man in the hallway, his camera rolling as always.

Jake Belanger was a young man at only sixteen years of age, and was the newest cast member of the two Nickelodeon hit shows, iCarly and Victorious. His short light brown hair was spiked up, and his blue eyes were friendly. He wore jeans and a T-shirt with the Victorious logo on the chest.

"Thanks Dan." He responded with a smile, taking the stack of papers out of the producer's hands.

"I want you to look over that and make sure your schedule is fine. We expect you in the Victorious meeting room in ten minutes." Dan told him, before striding down the hall in search of another cast or crew member.

Jake nodded and began to read the first page.

Tuesday, April 4th

12:00 PM - Victorious episode briefing - Season 2 Episode 1

2:30 PM - Victorious table reading #1 - Season 2 Episode 1

6:00 PM - iCarly episode briefing - Season 2 Episode 1

He had three meetings to attend, with the first starting in less than ten minutes. He began to run down the hall toward the Victorious meeting room.

Ariana Grande, his girlfriend, looked up abruptly as he burst into the room. He'd only been dating her for two weeks, but she was the one who'd introduced him to Dan and landed him his roles in the two shows.

"You're here!" She smiled, and gestured to the chair next to her.

Most of the cast were already seated around the large table, with papers, snacks, and drinks in front of them. The massive television that covered an entire wall was turned on, and displaying a large picture of the Victorious logo.

Jake took his seat next to Ariana, and glanced down at the place marker in front of him. It read Jacob Belanger - "Everett Beitel".

Everett would be Jake's character for Victorious. He was the newest member of the gang, and in addition to being extremely talented at sports, he was one of the more popular students at Hollywood Arts.

"Good, you're all here?" Dan called, walking into the room with a group of writers, production crew members, and directors behind him. "First off I want to welcome all of you back for another season of Victorious."

Everyone began to clap, and Jake ran a hand through his hair.

"I'd also like to welcome our newest cast member, Jake! As you all know, he will be filling the role of Everett Beitel." Dan continued, and Jake nodded.

"Now, over the next two hours we will be briefing you about episode one, which we will start production on today!" Dan smiled, and pushed a button on the remote.

The television changed to an image of the Hollywood Arts logo, with the words THE RAP GAME written in bold across the logo.

"The Rap Game?" Avan Jogia questioned, gesturing toward the screen.

"Episode one of our brand new season!" Dan said proudly, producing a massive stack of papers. "We've got the scripts!"

He passed them out, giving one to each actor or actress at the table, and then sat in his chair at the end of the table.

"Awesome." Jake said with a grin. "I'm stoked."

Ariana nodded, and Dan began to tell the cast about the episode. Jake zoned out just enough that he still got the idea, but didn't hear the ramble that Dan kept producing.

Before he knew it, the meeting was over, and he was absently led out of the room by Ariana.

"We've got a half hour!" She said cheerily. "Let's go get lunch!"

He nodded and followed her down the hall. Lunch couldn't come fast enough.
