Author's Note: Obviously I don't own Victorious or Spider-man/Spider-girl. I have been thinking about doing this story for a while, it will be the start of a trilogy. This here will be a quick chapter to kind of establish things a little bit. Hope you enjoy, please give me feedback.

Continuity Note: This story takes place during season 1.

Chapter 1:

Tori Vega never had any trouble getting herself up in the morning ever since she began going to Hollywood Arts a few months ago; she always sprang out of bed, took a shower, got all ready, and ran down the stairs to eat breakfast with her family before going to school with her sister, Trina, who drove the two of them every morning. In addition to Trina, Tori had her father, David, who was a captain in the LAPD's anti-crime unit and her mother, Holly, who was a geneticist who worked at a lab downtown. After a quick breakfast, Tori and Trina went on their way to school.

Once at school, Tori went into her acting class where see ran into her best friend, Andre, who looked at her and said, "Did you hear?"

"Here What?"

"Norman Osborn," Andre explained, "Head of Osborn Pictures, the biggest movie studio in Hollywood is holding auditions for his next movie that happens to star his son, mega-superstar Harry Osborn."

"So," Tori didn't get the significance, "Doesn't he do that kind of thing for most of his big films."

Another one of Tori's friends, Beck, came up to them and said, "He does, but this audition is for people at Hollywood Arts only."

"Why," Tori asked.

"Because his son graduated from this school," Jade said in a tone implying that Tori was stupid for not knowing that. Tori didn't even realize that she was behind her, Beck's gothic girlfriend always had a talent for creeping up on people.

"You see," Beck explained to Tori, "Norman Osborn just gave the green-light on the next part of the Trinity series, a sure-fire box office. By giving Hollywood Arts exclusive auditions he's raising the prestige of the school."

Tori began to see the point, "To thank the school for teaching his son."

"Oh look at that," Jade said sarcastically, "The girl can think."

Tori didn't respond to Jade's remarks, she knew that to do so would play right into her hands; she didn't understand why Jade didn't like her so much, but she had gotten used to it. So, instead, she just continued on with the conversation, "What role is it for?"

"No one knows," Andre answered, "There's no script yet, but the audition is for a major role."

"Basically," Beck added, "people from Hollywood Arts go in and do any scene they want and if Mr. Osborn is impressed with the performance he'll cast him or her in the next installment of one of the biggest franchises in history."

It was at this time that Cat came walking into the classroom with Robbie who carried the puppet, Rex. Cat took notice to a man in glasses who sitting in a chair at the front of the classroom, "Who is that?"

Beck turned and looked at the man, "I have no idea."

"Dude," Andre said looking at the man, "I've been here for 10 minutes and didn't even notice he was there."

Sikowitz then entered the classroom through the window as usual and gave the word for everyone to take their seats, "Okay class, I would discuss the announcement by Osborn Pictures but I'm sure that all of you with your smart-phones and other gizmos know much more about it than I do, so let's proceed. Today we have a guest, special effects extraordinaire, Quentin Beck."

Sikowitz was referring to the man in glasses who stood up and was about to speak when Cat suddenly started to laugh, "Hey, his last name is Beck and Beck's first name is Beck...their both Becks, that's hilarious."

Cat sat there laughing as everyone else in the room just stared at her blankly until Jade said, "Cat, the air in your head could fill a hundred balloons."

"Thank You," Cat replied apparently believing the remark to be a genuine compliment.

"Anyway," Quentin Beck said beginning his presentation to the class; the man was awkward, a nerd who obviously didn't spend a lot of time talking to large groups of people. He tried to speak when he was interrupted by Andre, "Hey, do you do those big computer effects in action films."

"No," Quentin answered, "I-I do th-the practical effects."

"Like Make-up," Cat asked to which Jade answered, "No, he plays with puppets and robots."

"W-W-Well," Quentin smiled, "there's more to it than that."

"Hasn't computer effects made practical effects obsolete," Tori asked.

"Not necessarily," Robbie said before Quentin had any chance to answer, "sometimes practical effects are more realistic than computer effects, so they are still very important. It's actually my best course."

Rex laughed, "A fact that shows just how unimportant practical effects are."

Quentin Beck stared at Robbie and began to ask, "D-Did that puppet-"

"Don't," Tori interrupted, "just go with it."

"Right," Quentin Beck said before trying to go on with his presentation only to again be interrupted again, this time by Sikowitz who suddenly declared, "Class is over."

Everybody in the room where struck silent by Sikowitz's statement before Tori pointed out, "Class just started."

"True," Sikowitz made his way to the window, "but I have a dentist appointment."

Sikowitz then proceeded to fall out of the window backwards and into the bushes outside. Robbie smiled, "You know, he is my favorite teacher."

Some of the students began to make their way out of the classroom but were shoved out of the way by Jade who just stormed out; Taking note of this, Andre looked at Beck and asked, "Man, what is her problem?"

"Yeah," Tori added, "She seems particularly nasty today."

Beck sighed, "I'll be sure to find out."

Beck followed Jade as all the other students emptied the classroom; Quentin Beck then stood there alone and said, "Hope you learned something."

...After school, Tori and Trina decided they wanted to go out and get a bite to eat before going home but, unfortunately, had no money. Trina came up with the idea to go get money from their mom at the lab that she worked, Tori wasn't in favor of that but she wasn't the one driving...plus, Tori really wanted to go out and eat. Once they pulled into the parking lot outside the lab, Trina turned to Tori and said, "Okay, go in and ask her."

"Why do I have to do it?"

"Because," Trina answered, "she and I had a fight last night."

"By fight," Tori remarked, "You mean you threw a fit about not being allowed to get a tattoo."

Trina groaned, "Would you just go?"

"Fine," Tori got out of the car and went into the lab.

Holly Vega was looking around the lab for something when Tori came in, "Hey Mom."

"Hey sweetie," Holly kept her focus on her search which led Tori to ask, "What are you looking for?"

Her mother was slow to answer, "I would tell you but it would just freak you out."

"Fair enough. But hey, could I have a some cash to get a bite with Trina?"

"Sure," Holly was more than willing to help Tori and Trina spend time together, "just don't touch anything."

Tori stood still as her mother went into her office to get cash from her purse; as Tori stood there, a spider came down from the ceiling on a web and landed on Tori's shoulder. A few moments later, Tori felt the bite around her neck; she didn't really scream out in pain, the spider wasn't really that big. She did shake it off quickly but didn't see where the thing landed. Her mother then came back into the room and gave Tori some cash, Tori thanked her and left not giving any thought to the spider bite.

After Tori left, Holly saw the spider on the and proceeded to big it up with tweezers, "There you are you little trouble maker."

She put the spider back in it's cage and said, "Can't have you biting anyone now can we."
