3. Fair Games

Note: My first 6 stories (3 chapters each) are based on, but not limited to, Cabbie. Please read, even if you do not ship Cabbie, because it's really not the main thing. Look forward to a Bade/Tandre/Bori drama in the near future ;)

DISCLAIMER: I would only own Victorious in a dream, and sadly, this is reality. Boo for me :(

[Beck and Tori in the hallways.]

"Rock, paper, scissors, shoot!" Beck said. He chose paper, and Tori chose rock.

"Ha! I win!" Tori laughed.

Beck shook his head. "No, paper covers rock. I win."

Tori stared blankly. "But how does paper beat rock?"

Beck covered Tori's balled-up fist with his hand. "See? It's covered."

[Jade walks through the doors. She looks at them.]

She stared for a minute. "What's this?" She asked, anger bubbling up in her voice.

"It's not what you think," Beck started.

"We're playing Rock-Paper-Scissors," Tori said quickly.

Jade walked toward them quickly, reached into her purse, and pulled out scissors. "I pick scissors!" She threatened to cut Tori's arm.

"No!..." Beck reached out and pushed Jade back to his side. They looked at each other for a minute. He reached out his hand. Jade reluctantly placed the scissors in his hand.

"Okay, so now that you're NOT going to hurt me," Tori began. "Don't you agree rock totally beats paper?"

André walked up. "Of course it does. It's rock!"

"I say scissors wins all. Let's try it out," Jade tried to pry the scissors from Beck's hands, and failed.

"So, do you guys have plans tomorrow night?" Tori asked.

"Of course we do!" André answered. "You do too, don't you?"

"Don't tell her about it!" Jade moaned.

"We're telling her about it," Beck said annoyed. He looked at Tori. "The Fair is tomorrow night. The Hollywood Arts Annual Fair."

"Annual means every year," André added.

"I know!" Tori said.

"There's a bunch of games, and prizes, and music, and a whole bunch of stuff that will be less fun with you around." Jade stomped away.

[Cat and Robbie walk in very close to each other.]

"Hey guys!" Cat smiled.

"Ello-y-lo!" Robbie waved.

Tori smiled back. "Hi guys!" (She is the only one who knows they are dating.) "Are y'all going to the fair?"

"Yes! Yay!" Cat exclaimed. "Robbie's gonna win me that bear! The one that's my exact hair color!" She poked Robbie in the stomach.

"That's nice," Beck said.

"Guess what?" Cat smiled. She looked around at them. "Okay! Me and Robbie are officially dating!"

"Really?" André asked.

"How cool!" Tori said.

Sinjin walled by. "Jade looked pretty angry a second ago. Like, more angry." He said cautiously.

"More angry? Jade?" André asked.

"She's like this because of the fair," Beck sighed. "She's mad because they won't let her put up her game."

"What game?" Robbie asked.

"Zombie shooter." Beck said plainly.

"Ohh!" Cat gasped and put her hands to her mouth. Robbie put his arm around her, and she giggled. André and Beck exchanged glances.

"Anyway, I gotta go. I'm meeting this guy here that I -HEY, BARRY!" André called after a big guy.

Barry walked up to him. "What's up?"

"Barry, this is Tori, Beck, Robbie and Cat. Guys, this is Barry. I'm coaching him for the hot dog eating contest tomorrow night. We're gonna get some prizes, and give em to our girls," He laughed then cleared his throat. "That we don't have yet. We're working on that."

"We're so gonna win!" Barry high-fived André.

"Yeah, you bet! You can count on that!" André shouted as he walked away. "We're so gonna lose." He walked away.

There was silence. "So, paper covers rock?" Tori asked.

[Asphalt Café, everybody sitting together except André, who is sitting with Barry, staring at his big tray of food.]

"Barry, don't you wanna save your appetite for tonight?" André suggested. "You know, the contest. With the hot dogs."

Barry ignored him and kept eating. André put his face in his hands.

"Jade, don't be upset." Cat said. Robbie walked up behind her and put his arms around her. Cat looked up and giggled.

Jade looked around quickly. "Who said I'm upset? I'm not upset!" She snapped. "In fact, I'm not putting up with it! I'm putting up Zombie Shooter!"

"Jade, they said you can't put it up." Beck said.

"They also said she couldn't bring a gorilla into school." Robbie said.

"And that she couldn't 'pants' the principal's son." Tori added.

[Rex and Sinjin sitting at a table.]

"Yeah, man, ever since he started dating that redhead, he just dropped me," Rex said awkwardly with Sinjin's hand in his back. "And now I'm stuck with you."

"I've always wanted to do this," Sinjin said excitedly.

"So how are you gonna do it?" Tori asked.

"I'm just gonna put up my game, and cover it up when teachers get suspicious. It'll be easy," Jade said flatly.

Robbie and Cat were staring at each other. He held her hand and she giggled. Their faces grew closer together until their noses touched.

"Okay, you two," Beck laughed.

"Hey, where's André?" Tori asked.

"Barry, you gotta stop eating, or you won't be hungry for the- Barry? Barry?" André shook Barry's sleeping hand. "Barry, come on! Wake up! Barry!" He shouted.

Rex and Sinjin turned toward André.

"Oh, like you guys aren't weird?" He shouted. He stalked away angrily.
