Another prompt. This one might actually be a multi-chap, depending on if it works well enough.
The prompt is:
On their first birthday, everyone on Earth is given a wristband that will glow brighter depending on how far away they are from their soulmate. But, yours has never even turned on.
This is Jori, with background Puckentine, though it's not a crossover, Carndre (my name for Carly/Andre), and Brina. Don't have anyone for Robbie, if I decide to give him someone.
Title subject to change.
Disclaimer: I don't own 'VicTORious' or any characters mentioned.
No POV
Sixteen years ago, Victoria Dawn 'Tori' Vega was given her band, a small plastic band that wraps around her wrist, the material a stretchy kind to grows with the wearer. Now, on her seventeenth birthday, she still wanders around, being her usual self, while keeping her pain at her wristband not glowing like everyone else's she knows.
Her best friend Andre found his other half while in Seattle, being a guest on the popular web show 'iCarly', where both his and the star/namesake's, a brunette a few inches shorter than him, Carly Shay, wristbands started to glow, the glow being brighter and more intense as they got closer to each other.
Her sister Trina found hers shortly after joining Hollywood Arts High School, a famous school for helping growing performers of various ways, such as singing, dancing, music, writing, directing, etc., be better at their chosen field. Since her first day, her wristband has been glowing faintly, occasionally growing brighter, as she goes to classes. Finally, almost a week after joining, her wristband was at it's brightest, the intensity of it equal to the wristband of a tall teen with shoulder length brunette hair named Beck Oliver, the top actor of the school.
A year ago, a few months after joining Hollywood Arts, and as she was hanging out with her best friend, her sister, their mates, and her other friend Catarina Hannah 'Cat' Valentine, Cat's wristband started glowing. Across the room, at the main door, a blonde girl Carly recognized as her best friend from back in Seattle, Samantha 'Sam' Puckett, was standing, looking at her own wristband. That day, Sam and Cat were found in Cat's house making out.
Now, here she is, just celebrating her seventeenth birthday, and her wristband has yet to glow.
"Tori, come one. Beck said some new girl is starting today." Trina yells, putting her jacket on.
"Coming." Tori yells back, grabbing her school bag and heads downstairs. "And yeah, Andre mentioned it a while ago. All he said was that she's a talented writer and director." She says, stopping at the bottom of the stairs.
"Yeah. She got in by submitting some movie she wrote, directed, produced, and starred in." Trina says, leading her sister to her car.
"Impressive." Tori says, catching up to Trina.
Ten minutes later, Trina parks her car in the school's parking lot, the two climbing out and heading for the school. What Tori doesn't notice, and neither does Trina since she was too busy looking at her boyfriend, was that her wristband was glowing, the intensity slowly growing as she makes her way into school.
Across the hallway, a pale Goth girl with dark brunette hair opens her locker to put her books in after getting them all. Looking at her wrist, she stops.
"What the hell?" She asks herself, looking at the band, not really believing in the whole band thing she was told.
"Hey, your band's glowing." Cat says, walking up to Tori, with Sam on her wrist.
"Huh?" Tori says, looking at her band. "Holy crap." She says with a growing smile.
"How come it's just now glowing?" Sam asks, staring at the band. "Think it might be the new chick?" She asks, looking around.
"But I'm not gay. I'm straight." Tori says, looking at it.
"Neither were we. Well, not until Kitty Cat here had her tongue down my throut and her hands on my tits." Sam says with a smirk, pulling Cat close to her.
"Hey, it's that new girl. Her band is glowing too." Cat says, ignoring Sam's comment about her hands activity when they met.
"Walk up to her. See if it gets brighter." Sam says, grabbing Tori by the shoulders and pushing her towards the Goth girl.
At her locker, the Goth, Jadelyn Augusta 'Jade' West, puts her morning books in her Gears of War bag and closes her locker, noticing how her band is glowing brighter. "Now what?" She says with a groan. Looking around, she sees a nerdy looking boy with and afro and glasses, with some puppet on her hand, making his way over to him, his band growing. "Son of a bitch. Are you shitting me?" She says, turning to glare at him.
"Uh, excuse me?" The boy says, staring at Jade, catching her question.
"Don't tell me that fucking band is glowing because of me." Jade says, glaring at him.
"He he, told you it wasn't her." The puppet says with an Urban accent.
"Rex!" The boy says, offended.
"Walk away." Jade says, glaring at the boy and puppet. "Glad that's over with." She says as he walks away. "Well, if it wasn't him, who is it?" She asks when it continues to glow now as the boy walks away, showing it wasn't him.
"Uh, hi." Tori says, stopping in front of the Goth.
"And you are?" Jade says, staring at the Half-Latina in front of her.
"Tori. Tori Vega. And you are?" Tori responds, using Jade's question.
"Jade. Why are you here?" Jade asks with a deadpan.
"Uh, this?" Tori says, more as a question, as she raises her hand, showing the band.
"Well, at least you're hot." Jade says, grabbing Tori by the back of the neck and pulling her into a kiss, her tongue entering Tori's mouth.
"Whoo! Go Tori!" Cat calls out, clapping and bouncing.
"Get some, Vega!" Sam calls out, laughing.
"Damn, apple?" Jade asks, pulling away from the kiss, licking her lips.
"Uh, yeah. Yeah. Apple chapstick." Tori says, standing in a daze. "Why is your hand on my butt?" She asks, feeling the hand on her left cheek.
Let me know if you'd like this to become a multi-chap. If so, it won't be for a while before I make it one. I'm going to be taking a bit of a break with 'The Vega-Marx Secret' after I upload the next chapter, which might be end of the week to mid of next week at the latest. I hope.
I ended it this way for two reasons. One: I like ending one-shots on a funny note. And two: As a lead in to this possibly being the first chapter of a multi-chap.
Thank you for reading, and please review.
Blessed Be.
