A/N: Hi, I'm usually an SIU reader, not a writer. I have a bunch of Victorious fics though, but I do love Shake it Up. I had this holiday episode in my head about Shake it Up while I was watching the Victorious Christmas episode (Secret Santa) and thought Rocky and CeCe should have one too. So here it is. I thought of it a while back and wrote it, but never intended to publish it. But when Zendaya and Kenton re-tweeted my tweets this week out of the blue, I guess it was a good enough sign for me to share it. So, hope you enjoy!
"Hey, let's have a Secret Santa!" Rocky suggested to the group of six students during study hall one cold December morning.
"Why would we hide Santa? Is he not a big deal in America?" Tinka asked.
"No, Tinka, Secret Santa is like white elephant," Ty tried to explain.
"But are not elephants grey?" Gunther was confused.
"No you dummy, white elephant and Secret Santa is a Christmas tradition in America," Cece explained. "You put your names in a hat and we each pick out a name. Then we get a gift for them but keep it a secret."
"Why?"
"Because it's fun. It gets you in the Christmas spirit," Rocky said.
"Oh, I guess we'll participate in your American traditional holiday extravaganza," Tinka agreed.
"Yay! Ok let me get some paper and we'll all write our names ok? Ty let me borrow your fedora!" Rocky snatched the fedora off of her older brother's head and he dodged her.
"Hey sis, watch the hair! It takes time to look fine like me," Ty argued
"Oh please, get over yourself!" Rocky rolled her eyes.
"Yeah Ty, no matter how long you work on yourself, you're still going to look like that," Deuce laughed.
"And no matter how much mercy you beg, I'm still gonna whack you over the head with a vase," Ty said before getting up and chasing after the Latino boy.
Once Ty and Deuce returned to the circle, Rocky had just finished collecting names and gave each person a turn to pick a name out of the hat. Everyone had mixed reactions.
"Ooooh!"
"Nice!"
"Eh."
"Ok."
"What?!"
"Can we do a do over?"
"No do over's!" Rocky claimed. "We need to get into the Christmas spirit you guys. I mean, this year was pretty crazy. We fought a lot…"
*flashback*
"Gunther! Tinka! Those are our costumes for tonight's dance!"
"Well, you showed up late and Gary needed replacements." Gunther said.
"Well we wouldn't be late if you guys didn't take our cab over here!" Cece shot back
"Oh well, as you say in America, you shnooze you lose," Tinka winked and the twins walked off.
*end flashback*
"…we've had heartbreak…" Rocky continued.
*flashback*
"What's the matter Deucey boy?" Gunther asked when he and Ty noticed him sulking at the lockers.
"Dina broke up with me…"
"Duh, why would you be the one breaking it up. And it's about time too!" Ty exclaimed.
"Come on Ty, I'm not in the mood," Deuce brushed him off.
Ty and Gunther had a change of heart.
"Sorry, man. What's up?" Ty consoled him.
"I told her that I wasn't feeling a spark anymore," he started.
"So you were the one who was going to do the breaking?" Gunther asked.
"Sort of. I was trying to talk it out, and she got overdramatic, hit me over the head with a magazine and ran off crying."
"But isn't this what you wanted, man?" Ty tried to point out.
"Well yeah, but I just feel bad for hurting her."
"There's nothing wrong with telling the truth, Deucey. Now you can pursue Ty's sister," Gunther winked.
"My what?!" Ty's eyes grew.
*end flashback*
"… but most importantly, we've always had each other's backs in one way or another…"
*flashback*
"But why would you help me? We are enemies, no?" Tinka asked Rocky and CeCe after they helped Tinka last minute with a performance she was presenting to the children's hospital. Tinka's two dancers came down with the flu and Tinka did not want to cancel on the children. Rocky and CeCe just happened to be at the same hospital with Rocky's dad and they two girls spotted a dejected Tinka. When it was time for the performance, both girls walked on stage, surprising Tinka, and performed with her to please the boys and girls.
"Tinka, we're frenemies," CeCe corrected her.
"Yes, but that still has the word 'enemies' in it."
"True, but it also has the word 'friend.' and that's the first part of being a frenemy," Rocky stated.
"…Thank you, this really means a lot to the boys and girls," Tinka softly smiled.
"Awwww" Both CeCe and Rocky cooed and sandwiched her into a hug. Tinka at first struggled, but gave in and hugged her 'frenemies' back.
*end flashback*
"Come on you guys, Rocky's right. Let's put our differences aside and get into some holiday spirit!" CeCe supported her friend.
"Ok so Saturday night we'll host a Christmas party at our apartment and throughout the night we'll give our secret Santa gifts to each other. Sound good?" Rocky asked the group.
"Yeah yeah."
"Ok."
"Sure."
"Whatever."
"Anyone still wanna trade?"
"No trading either!"
Each person had 4 days to find a gift for his or her Secret Santa. Though it was exciting, no one really knew how the night would turn out. And no one would expect the truth to come out either.
