Disclaimer: I don't own Victorious

Willow is my orignial character but I use her in a lot of my stories

The Willow Centr is based off a place I used to work

Marie is based on me and she's an orginal character

It all began with a thought. It began with a whisper of a word. It was soft. It was barely noticeable. I tried to shrug it off. I tried to pay no attention to it. It meant nothing. That was what I told myself but I knew it wasn't true. Still I had not any recourse but to shrug it off. The night continued. Laughter and joy was there but for a reason or another I could not get that thought out of my head. I could not get the whisper of the word out of my thoughts. I smiled and at the same time I shuttered. But like the embers of a fire stoked by coal the whisper of the word grew into a shout. It grew into a howl that I could no more ignore then I could have if it was right in my face screaming at me.

"Hey Marie," Jade said smiling at her employee and friend, "What are you writing?"
"Oh just some thoughts," Marie said, "It's stupid really."
"Oh don't give me that; that it's stupid," Jade laughed, "I'll bet my bottom dollar that it's not stupid."
"Well I- maybe it's not stupid but I don't really know how to explain it. I might put it up on my blog later," Marie said, "I dunno."
"Yes. I love your blog. I saw the one you wrote about maybe he won the presidential award," Jade told Marie.
Marie blushed.
"You read that," she asked.
"Yes. I thought it was wonderful. I know what it was based on too. Just one problem with it. If he won the presidential award or the noble peace prize or any other of the things you suggested people would be smiling and cheering not standing around looking all serious."
"Unless they were jealous," Marie pointed out laughing.
"Well that's true," Jade said.
"Anyway I'm glad you liked the blog," Marie said changing the subject, "How's Willow during." Jade grinned.
"She's doing great," she said.
"I miss her," Marie said smiling, "Send her my love okay."
"Well that's just silly," Jade said, "You can see her any time."
"Tori said that-"
"Tori's wrong," Jade replied, "actually I have to go pick her up at school now."
"You know... I got my drivers licence last week," Marie said.
"Cool," Jade replied.
"Um... I know that you have a lot of work to do and all... I overheard you telling Cat how busy you are today," Marie said. Jade laughed.
"Are you saying you'd like to pick Willow up," she asked.
"I wouldn't mind," Marie said, "I'd love to in fact."
"Well alright," Jade said, "Let me just write a note to her school. They won't get her go unless they have a signed note from me saying it's alright for her to go with you. Drive at the speed limit. Pay attention to the road. Remember Willow is my precious child."
"I know," Marie said.
"Maybe you could take her to the playground today," Jade suggested.
"Sure," Marie said beaming, "Oh I was also wondering if Willow could be in my play. I want her to play victory."
"Sure," Jade said, "If it's okay with her anyway."
"I'm sure it will be," Marie said grinning, "By the way at 7:04 tonight you're going to hear something you will love hearing." Jade laughed.
"7:04?"
"7:04 PM."
"I'm gonna write that down," Jade said making a note of it, "I'll let you know if it does."
"Oh believe me," Marie said, "I'll know."
"Right," Jade said laughing, "I'll see you soon."
