So this is my first story ever on fanfiction! Please don't be mean if I mess some stuff up in it! But I'll be fine if you tell me :) PS if you want to beta for me, I would really appreciate it :)
So this is Make it in America (and, obviously, I got the idea from the song)… so yeah.
Tori POV
I pulled out my camera and Cat, Jade, and I smiled, squishing together, as Robbie took a picture of us. Andre and Beck were loading all of our suitcases into the RV. I saw them grimace when they opened the back of my SUV to see six matching pink bags, all Cat's. Jade refused to even put her things in the back, she was afraid they would get infected with the pink disease. She instead opted to keep them in her lap for the five minute ride to Beck's house.
I snatched my camera out of Robbie's hands and quickly snapped a photo of Andre, struggling to carry Cat's bag full of shoes into the RV. After I placed it in my purse, I raced over to help him get the suitcase up the stairs. It was surprisingly heavy, and I was amazed that Andre could even lift it, let alone lug it the twenty feet between my car and the RV. "Thanks Tor," he said, flashing me a smile.
I smiled back. "I can't wait!"
"It's gonna be good," he replied.
We brought the suitcase to one of the closets and high-fived after it was on the floor and out of our hands. Feeling way too accomplished for that small feat, I skipped out of the RV feeling stronger than I should have. Oh well, a little bit of over-happiness never hurt anyone.
Andre, however, came out rubbing his arms. "Cat! How many shoes do you need?" he asked, sounding annoyed, but everyone knew he was just acting.
"All of them," she laughed.
Andre and I shared an eye roll behind her head. "Wow Cat, just wow," I groaned.
Suddenly Andre looked shocked. "Wait a second, how did you even get that bag into Tori's trunk?"
Her eyebrows furrowed together like they always do when she's confused. "What do you mean how? I carried it."
I could tell he was trying to keep his jaw from dropping. "Unbelievable!" he shouted. I heard him muttering something unintelligible as he walked back to my car to keep putting bags in the RV.
Cat pulled a wax bag out of her purse and held it out to Jade and me. "Want some bibble?"
"Cat!" I shrieked.
"I thought you curbed your bibble addiction?" Jade asked.
Cat sounded ashamed. "I had a relapse."
Jade slapped the bag onto the ground and all of the bibble spilled out onto the hot pavement. A gust of wind hit, and it blew all over Beck's lawn. Cat looked about ready to cry. I hugged her. "This is good for you," I stated, trying to calm her down.
She straightened up. "You know what? I think I'll be fine without bibble."
Jade patted her head. "Good Cat."
Beck honked his horn. "Everything's packed up and we're ready to blow this joint! All aboard la casa de Beck! Move it or lose it!"
Andre, Robbie, Jade, Cat, and I all piled into the RV while Beck sat in the driver's seat, ready to get started on our road trip.
Robbie grinned. "Across the country in twenty days. This is gonna be good!"
I heard Cat squeal in excitement as I pulled out one of my suitcases and rummaged through it. Finally, I pulled out what I was looking for. A framed picture of the six of us tossing our caps in the air at graduation two weeks ago. Cat looked over my shoulder and smiled sadly. She, for once, was speechless, and I knew she missed Hollywood Arts as much as I did.
I set the picture down on Beck's bedside table and taped it down so it wouldn't fall over.
The PA that Beck's parents bought for this trip crackled on. "Hey guys!" Beck shouted, "Does this sound familiar?"
"-and I'm driving, straight through America."
We all looked at each other, and Andre busted out, "I wanna taste the sun!"
"Cause baby I'm born to run," Robbie added.
"I've got a feeling, that I'm not the only one and I-" Jade sang.
Cat opened her mouth. "I I wanna show some skin!"
"Yeah baby I need the ocean," I joined in.
"You can't stop me now I've got my heart in motion, I wanna make it in America, make it in America," we all sang in unison.
We finished the song and were all beaming by the end, even Jade. I collapsed onto Beck's bed and giggled like an idiot for at least ten minutes. There was a certain rush that came with hearing a song you wrote and sang on the radio. It's an amazing feeling.
Eventually I calmed down and was able to sit up. Jade was looking into a mirror and reapplying her eyeliner, Robbie was strumming lightly on his guitar, Andre was bobbing his head to a song playing on his iPod, and Cat was digging in one of her pink bags. I thought nothing of it until I realized five minutes had gone by and her head still hadn't come out. And I heard crunching noises.
I snuck over and grabbed her hair. "Come out or I pull you out," I whispered in her ear threateningly.
"Tori!" she gasped. I yanked lightly and she came out with a more angry, "TORI!"
A powdery substance came out of her mouth and she quickly covered it. When I reached for her bag she grabbed my arm. "What are you doing Tori?"
Jade was watching us with interest, like we were animals at the zoo. I tried to ignore her. "I just want to see what you brought in one of your many, many bags," I said, and grabbed it. There was only one thing in the bag. "Cat!" I screamed, and Andre and Robbie started paying attention as well.
"Whaty?" she asked, trying to sound innocent.
"What is this?" I held up the innards of the bag to her face.
She fidgeted. "What is what?"
I groaned and asked, "why do you have bibble?"
"That's not mine," she stated quickly.
"Then I guess you won't mind this," I said, walking over to the PA's call button. "Hey Beck?"
"You're go for Beck."
"Can you pull over?"
"Sure, give me a sec," he said, and I felt the RV move and hit the grass.
As soon as it stopped I ran outside with Cat chasing close behind me and dumped it as I was running. A whole ten pound bag of bibble! It was soon all gone and I circled back to the RV, throwing the bag on Cat's sleeping bag and locking myself in the bathroom so she couldn't kill me.
The door slammed and I heard Andre tell Beck that he could get back to driving.
"And we're back on course," Beck stated, sounding like the captain of a plane. "First stop: Vegas! We should be there in about three and a half hours… as long as there aren't any more bibble scares. And this is your chauffer, Beck, signing off for now."
So that was the introductory paragraph :) If you didn't catch on, they just graduated and are going on a twenty day road trip! Hope you liked it. And also, seriously, someone please offer to be my beta. Thanks! Please comment and subscribe, it'll make my day.
P.s. I'm trying not to set up any couples so you can tell me who you want with who. Please just leave a comment or vote on the poll on my profile for whatever couples you want to be together (I dont write yaoi or yuri).
Ta-ta for now!
