Hello, this is my first story for Victorious, so sorry if the people are a bit outta character. Basically, the gang are in a play, and the roles are…interesting. Cabbie, Tandre, and Bade. Also, I may be a bit behind on character development, cuz we haven't even seen Freak The Freak Out in the UK, but I watched some of the eps on YouTube.

I DO NOT OWN VICTORIOUS OR ANY OF ITS CHARACTERS!

"Hey guys!", Cat Valentine, the over-emotional red head raced over to where her friends were sitting at the table. She skidded to a stop, a bit late, as Robbie hit the deck. "Oops. Sorry, Robbie!"

"Don't sweat it, Cat.", Robbie assured her, taking Cat's offered hand and standing up.

Rex, however, with gum stuck to his forehead, again, said "Girl, that's the fourth time this week, and it's only Tuesday!"

"I'm sorry!", Cat cried, her eyes glazing with tears slightly.

"Rex, be nice!", Robbie told him off, and Cat's tears instantly disappeared, to be replaced by laughter and a huge smile. Robbie found himself getting lost in her smile, but was brought abruptly back to earth by Tori, who cleared her throat, a smirk on her face. Andre and Beck were also smiling, but Jade sat cold and passive.

Just then, the school's rhythmic bell rang, and they departed to Sikowitz's improve lesson.

"Hear me, class!", Sikowitz called from the front, "I want to take this opportunity to say: SCHOOL PLAY! Auditions, if you want 'em, sign up!"

They were dismissed to lunch, and as they passed the door, the gang decided to take a look at the parts on offer. The sign read:

SCHOOL PLAY

"MUSIC TO MY EARS"

MAIN PARTS:

Ella- The leading lady. Lots of singing, dancing etc. Needs a talented actress and singer to play her.

Jake-Leading man. Needs to be a good actor, and play a guitar. Some singing etc.

Cassie-Mean, spiteful. Good actress needed. Some singing, dancing.

Ollie-Cool, handsome actor needed. Some singing.

Allie-Resident nice girl. Ella's best friend, some singing dancing.

Dan- Very talented musician needed. A bit of singing.

The gang were all interested in the play.

"Let's go to the auditions!", Cat pleaded, but the rest needed no convincing. Taking a snippet of the play to learn, they went to lunch, talking about how much fun this was going to be.

THREE DAYS LATER

It was the day of the auditions and everyone had learned their lines, having decided which part they were going for. After some persuasion from Tori, saying she'd hogged the spotlight for far too long (To which Jade agreed whole-heartedly), Cat was trying out for the part of Ella. Only Jade and Tori knew the full extent of her voice, but nobody knew how she'd be in the acting department. She had been great in Jade's play, but she could change moods in an instant. Tori herself was trying for Allie, Ella's best friend, so if both her and Cat got the parts, she could offer some support. Jade was going for Cassie, Beck for Ollie, Andre for Dan, and Robbie hadn't revealed to anyone who he was going for, but he'd been brave and had gone for Jake, the male lead.

The lesser roles were auditioning first. Both Andre and Tori pulled theirs off without a hitch, and came away looking very pleased, and chatting happily to one another. Beck sailed through his audition, and Jade seemed perfect for the role of Cassie. Only Cat and Robbie, along with the other students trying out for the main roles remained, and Cat, visibly shaking, was called in to the room. Robbie patted her on the back, and she felt a blush creeping up her cheeks, and she felt a bit more confident.

She walked into the audition room, her adrenalin high (which was good because her role was very high-energy) and stood on the stage. The teachers carrying out the auditions were Sikowitz, and Miles, Cat's singing teacher. She took a deep, steadying breath.

"Are you ready, Cat?" Sikowitz asked. Cat only nodded in response. With a deep breath, she began her monologue.

A while later, Robbie saw Cat come out of the room, a happy grin etched on her face. Robbie relaxed, seeing Cat happy. Catching sight of him, Cat ran over to Robbie and hugged him tightly, taking both of them by surprise. Cat had acted on impulse, like she always did when her blood was up, and she lat go of Robbie, her face almost rivalling her hair for colour.

"Good luck, Robbie!", and with that, she ran off to join the others. Robbie walked into his audition, feeling more confident than he had ever felt in his life.

Cat caught up with her friends outside.

"Hay, Cat, how'd it go?", Tori asked eagerly.

"Great!", the girl replied. She was greeted by several pats on the back and they happily exchanged audition stories. Robbie was presently among them, holding his guitar and looking pleased with himself.

"ROBBIE!" there was a general outcry, only Cat had known which role he'd gone for, him having confided in her. Cat ran and hugged him tightly again, and they swayed on the spot, earning several exchanged glances and knowing smirks from their friends. When Cat finally let go of Robbie, they were both pink in the face. There was a lot of tension, as no-one knew quite how to react to this, but Andre did his best, saying, "How 'bout a song? Robbie, play your guitar, I'll be on the keyboard? Cat, main vocals, get in some more practice, Tori sing back up. Jade-" but Andre stopped, as Jade and Beck were no longer among them. Turning their heads, they all saw Jade and Beck in a tight embrace, kissing passionately.

"Uh…maybe over there", Tori pointed to a spot about two hundred yards away, to give the couple some room. There, they sang to their joy, but also as a way to ward off the impending nerves of the next day, as then they would find out who got the parts. Jade and Beck, apparently, had found a different way to express the same feelings, and Robbie watched them enviously, they didn't have to hide their feelings for eachother. When Cat had hugged him, both times, he'd felt a huge spark of electricity in his being. When she'd kissed him, ages ago now, he'd felt, if anything, slightly less of a spark, which must mean his feelings for Cat had grown over time, and he was having more and more trouble keeping it from her, and also his other friends.

And sure enough, they'd noticed him looking at Jade and Beck, lost in thought.

Tori and Andre smiled.

Cat looked a bit confused.

THE NEXT DAY

There was a mad rush to the door of improve class to see the list of parts. Jade, by pure force, had elbowed her way to the front of the crowd, followed eagerly by Beck, Andre, Tori, Cat and Robbie. Jade, to many protests, ripped the notice off the door, and started reading the parts out loud, "The part of Dan goes to Andre…" Tori flew at him and the two shared a jubilant hug, some people left the crowd, disappointed, "The part of Allie goes to…Uhhh…Vega." Tori and Andre hugged again. Jade rolled her eyes, but continued, "The part of Ollie goes to Beck, and Cassie to…oh, me. Great, I'm done." Passing the sheet to Robbie, she and Beck walked off. Robbie spared her a look of disgust, looked at the paper and fainted.

He and Cat had got the leads.
