AN: Of course, I own nothing except ma, daddio, Waffle, and Tori Maria (who, by the way, is not Tori Vega It's actually me. Yes, that's right, I inserted myself in a fanfic. Deal with it).

Pairings include: Cat/Jade, Tori/André, Trina/OC, and, oddly enough, Sinjin/OC.

Also, sorry for the lame title... Suggestions are "not necessary, but much appreciated," as are reviews. :)

And apparently (most noticeable in chapter 2) I lost a lot of question marks when transferring the story from one computer to the other... A lot of them inexplicably became exclamation points.*sigh*

I'll let you get on with reading now...

So get this... I woke up this morning in a completely different bedroom. And that's not all! When I turned on the morning news, I realized I was in a completely different city, in a totally different state! And... my name's Tabby now? That's what the big man downstairs (who's apparently my dad, by the way) called me. Not Tori Maria, but Tabitha Jane- he got frustrated when I didn't answer the first couple times and evidently busted out the full name. Now I'm in the kitchen with my "mom," "dad," and "sister," who's name I have yet to figure out. I think for now, I'll refer to her as Waffle. Cause she's eating waffles. I'm so creative. Anyway, Waffle has a bunch of papers on the table, and is reading them while she's eating. Daddio is drinking coffee, staring into the distance (weirdo) and ma is cooking something- bacon, judging by the smell.

"So, Tabby." Waffle's staring at me.

"Um... what?" I'm not really sure how to interact with this stranger. Do we get along? Do we hate each other?

"Nervous?" She's smiling. I guess that's a good sign.

"Um..." About what! "Not really..." Her eyebrows disappear into her brunette bangs.

"Really?" She looks back to the papers. "I know I was practically having seizures the morning of my first day at Hollywood Arts. Remember?" No, I don't remember. Did she say Hollywood Arts? Like on Victorious? Don't mess with my head, Waffle. Is this for real?

"Oh, well... maybe I am a little nervous..." Darn right I am, now that I know what I'm supposed to be nervous about! So what's my talent? What can Tabby Jane do? I know Tori Maria couldn't sing for crap, but maybe Tabby Jane can. Tori Maria could play piano pretty well, maybe Tabby Jane can, too. Or maybe acting? Either way, Waffle laughs and ruffles my hair. It's weird seeing brown hair falling on my shoulders instead of blonde. And it's so short...

"That's ok baby sister, it's ok to be nervous." Baby sister, eh? How much older is she? And what's this chick's name!

"Hey Lucy-" Thanks for clearing up the name issue, ma. "Do you want some bacon?"

"No thanks," Waffle...Lucy finishes off her waffles. "I'm full already."

"How about you, Tabby?" Ma's looking at me expectantly. Me, bacon? But I've been a vegetarian for 4 years...

"Um...no." Everyone's staring at me. Do I have something on my face?

"No breakfast?" Waf-LUCY's eyebrows are raised at me. "At all?"

"I'm...too nervous." Well, it's a decent lie, and half true. W-Lucy shrugs.

"Well, go get dressed, then we'll leave. I'll drive today." It sounds weird to hear her say that... Tori Maria wasn't old enough to drive, but Tabby Jane apparently is... Just who am I?

"Welcome to Hollywood Arts." Lucy holds the door for me. Is this for real? This looks exactly like on Victorious, except it's an actual solid, full school instead of a set in some studio. There's people standing around with guitars and other various instruments, and there's two boys down the hall locked in what looks like a very intense foam sword fight. A teacher nearby is yelling at them to "fight with more passion, more anger! Remember you hate each other, your family has been feuding for centuries!" And oh my God, there's goes Sinjin. I can't help but watch him walk away down the hall, muttering to himself.

"Don't talk to him." Lucy's watching him too. "He's... a little strange..."

"Hey Lucy!" That voice sounds really familiar... And yes, there is the red hair and radiating enthusiasm known as Cat. But I'm not supposed to know that... Lucy looks a little unhappy... Does she not like Cat?

"Oh... hey Cat..." Lucy's arms are crossed. Definite negative body language. "This is my little sister, Tabby."

"Hi Tabby! I'm Cat. Oh, Lucy, Lucy, Lucy!" Cat's practically jumping up and down. What's she so excited about? "Oh my gosh, I just heard that Sikowitz has big news, and he's going to tell us during Improv today! Do you have improv Tabby?" There's why she's so excited... And yeah, Tabby... Do you have Improv?

"Yeah, 3rd period. And she also has him for homeroom." Phew... thanks Lucy. Wait, why do you have my schedule? May I have it? Cat lets out a ridiculously loud squeal and grabs my wrists.

"That's when I have Improv! And he's my homeroom teacher!" Wait... So I have two classes with Tori, Beck, Jade, Robbie, Andre, Cat and Rex!

"Oh, cool." I try to reclaim my arms, but Cat has a death grip. As little as she is, she has a lot of upper body strength...

"Come on, let's go!" She starts to pull me down the hall, but Lucy grabs my free hand.

"Hold up baby sis." She does not look happy. "Cat, can I talk to her for a minute?"

"Oh, sure." But she doesn't walk away. She stands, right in the same spot, looking around dreamily.

"I meant alone." Lucy looks very unhappy now. "Like, without you."

"What's that supposed to mean!" But she obliges, and runs away down the hall. I'll have to apologize later... Or maybe I should just not bring it up. Knowing her, she'll probably forget by the time homeroom starts...

"Lucy!" I just realized that this girl, my "sister" just chased away Cat freakin Valentine! "What'd you do that for!"

"I don't want you hanging out with her."

"Why not?"

"A lot of people think she's into drugs, and... honestly, I wouldn't doubt it." She's leaning in confidentially.

"Give me my schedule, Waffle, I'm gonna be late." I take the paper from her, and she stares, looking amused and astonished simultaneously. Oops. I just called her-

"Did you just call me-?"

"Yes, I called you Waffle."
