A/N: Hi! Some of you may know the story Unforgettable and I've been getting concerns that I made the characters too OOC. I had a day off of work today and found a one-act screenplay I wrote 2 years ago. The assignment was to choose a funny incident in your life and turn it into a fictional story. And if you've read my other fic, I try to base my stuff on actual events. So here's what's real and what's not: the first scene (except the balloons) was my real life incident. The rest of the scenes are fictional. I actually based this story on Victorious. The series had just started and I watched enough episodes to get a feeling of each character. I spent the last half hour updating it to make it sound more like each character now that we're three seasons in. I'm not abandoning Unforgettable. Think of this as an added bonus while you wait for the last chapters. Enjoy!
A BIRTHDAY SURPRISE – ACT 1 SCENE 1
EXT. TORI'S LIVING ROOM – 6:00 PM
CAT, BECK, and ANDRE are blowing up balloons in the living room while TORI is in the kitchen with TRINA preparing food. CAT is continuously popping all the balloons BECK and ANDRE are blowing up.
CAT
(BALLOON POPS) EEEEEP! Hehe it's a surprise every time!
BECK
CAT, can you please stop popping the balloons we just blew up? We're running out of helium.
CAT
But it's so much fun!
ANDRE
How is popping a balloon fun?
CAT
It makes a BOOM! Hehe
Meanwhile from the kitchen we hear TORI and TRINA attempting to prepare the food.
TORI
TRINA! When I said wash the carrots I didn't mean use soap! You just put it under warm water for a minute!
TRINA
Well next time you should tell me specifically! If someone tells me to wash something I use soap!
Enter ROBBIE panting wildly holding a pizza box.
CAT, ANDRE, and BECK look at him. TORI and TRINA hear the commotion and run to the living room.
TORI
ROBBIE, what happened?
BECK
Yeah and where's JADE?
ROBBIE
(PANTING) JADE and I were racing to the house. She challenged my manhood. But I won! Victory!
ROBBIE raises his hands in victory, holding the pizza box in one hand, but on it's side.
Enter JADE.
BECK
JADE, there you are!
TRINA
Wait, ROBBIE, is that the pizza?
ROBBIE notices he's holding the pizza box on its side. He sheepishly places it on the coffee table and opens the box.
ANDRE
Aw chizz, Rob, you messed up the pizza!
TORI
ROBBIE!
JADE
(SMILING DEVILISHLY) Yeah, great going, Shapiro.
ROBBIE
What? You! You tricked me! JADE did it!
JADE
I wasn't the one holding the pizza.
ROBBIE
But you challenged my manhood! I had to run fast and the box was slowing me down so I tucked it to my side.
JADE
And you still lost.
CAT
(POPS ANOTHER BALLOON) EEEEEP! Hehe they're so scary.
JADE hands CAT a spatula from the table.
JADE
CAT, go frost the cupcakes.
CAT
Yay!
CAT walks to the kitchen.
TORI
Great now what are we supposed to feed SIKOWITZ when he gets here?!
ANDRE
All right, calm your chizz. BECK and I will drop by Wings and Things.
BECK
Yeah, we'll be back in no time. Later.
BECK kisses JADE.
Exit ANDRE and BECK.
TORI
Ok, we've got about an hour and a half until SIKOWITZ comes over. JADE, ROBBIE, let's finish getting the snacks out and decorate the living room.
JADE
Don't tell me what to do, Vega. Only sissy's get told what to do.
CAT
(FROM THE KITCHEN) ROBBIE, come help me decorate these cupcakes!
ROBBIE
Gotta go!
ROBBIE goes to kitchen. TORI and JADE look at each other.
JADE
I rest my case.
END SCENE 1
A BIRTHDAY SURPRISE – ACT 1 SCENE 2
EXT. TORI'S KITCHEN – 6:40 PM
TORI, JADE, and TRINA are putting up the balloons, banner and streamers in the living room while ROBBIE and CAT are in the kitchen decorating cupcakes.
CAT
I love cupcakes.
ROBBIE
Everyone loves cupcakes, CAT.
CAT
Not kangaroos.
ROBBIE
How do you know kangaroo's don't like cupcakes?
CAT
Because one time, my brother was trying to feed a cupcake to a kangaroo and it kicked him in the face. (GIGGLES)
ROBBIE looks at CAT in utter confusion.
CAT places a hand in front of her mouth like she's telling ROBBIE a secret.
CAT
True story.
Focus shifts from kitchen to near the piano where TORI and JADE are tying balloons on the bench legs. TORI hears laughing from the kitchen and turns to see ROBBIE and CAT happily conversing (inaudibly). ROBBIE looks at CAT adoringly.
TORI
Hey JADE.
JADE
What?!
TORI
Look how cute ROBBIE and CAT look.
JADE sets her attention on CAT and ROBBIE, then looks back to TORI.
JADE
I don't know about puppet boy, but CAT looks like she's having fun.
TORI
Wouldn't it be so cute if those two started dating! Aw!
JADE
(SMIRKS) Yeah the ditz and the dork. Maybe you should follow CAT's lead and date Sinjin.
JADE walks over to TRINA to help her move the couch. TORI gags at the thought of dating Sinjin. Focus goes back to ROBBIE and CAT.
CAT
I'm done decorating my cupcakes!
ROBBIE is quickly finishing his last cupcake.
ROBBIE
Just one sec... Done! What do you think?
CAT looks over at ROBBIE's cupcakes. He decorated the cupcakes with the words "Hi Cutie". CAT looks over at ROBBIE and giggles. He slightly blushes.
CAT
So who's the cutie?
ROBBIE
(BASHFUL SMILE) You're the cutie, Kitty-CAT.
CAT beams at the compliment.
CAT
Aw ROBBIE you're so sweet.
ROBBIE and CAT share a quick moment. TORI, JADE, and TRINA interrupt it as they walk into the kitchen.
TRINA
Where are BECK and ANDRE?! Shouldn't they be here by now?
TORI
I know! SIKOWITZ will be here in (LOOKS AT WATCH) 46 minutes! Ugh TRINA can you call them?
TRINA
Why don't you do it?
TORI
Because… I dropped my phone in the toilet.
TRINA
Oh fine, be right back.
Exit TRINA.
JADE looks at CAT and ROBBIE. CAT is smiling and ROBBIE is quiet. JADE notices the cupcakes.
JADE
Who decorated these cupcakes?
CAT
ROBBIE did.
JADE
Oh yeah? What does it say?
ROBBIE
Nothing! It says Nothing!
ROBBIE hovers over the cupcakes. TORI attempts to move him.
TORI
Oh, come on, ROBBIE, what does it say?!
TORI is now wrestling with ROBBIE and he gets away from her grip. All three girls are looking at him. JADE and TORI have a devious grin while CAT looks oblivious. He then jumps onto the counter and smashes all the cupcakes.
Enter BECK and ANDRE.
BECK, ANDRE, and TRINA enter kitchen.
BECK
We're back!
ANDRE
And we've got chicken wings!
TORI
ROBBIE!
ANDRE, BECK, and TRINA see what ROBBIE's done and stand there in shock.
ANDRE
Uh, ROBBIE, I think you got a little frosting on your shirt. (LAUGHS)
BECK
What happened? (LAUGHS)
ROBBIE
I fell…?
ANDRE
What, and the cupcakes broke your fall? (LAUGHS)
TORI
ANDRE!
TORI glares at BECK and ANDRE. They stop laughing.
TORI
What are we going to do now?! We can't make two dozen cupcakes in (LOOKS AT WATCH) 42 minutes!
CAT steps in wearing an apron and throws everyone aprons.
CAT
Then let's make a really big cake!
JADE
I'd rather poke my eyes out with scissors.
CAT
Come on JADE! It'll be fun!
JADE and the rest of the gang reluctantly take aprons and they all get to work making a birthday cake for SIKOWITZ.
END SCENE 2
A BIRTHDAY SURPRISE – ACT 1 SCENE 3
EXT. TORI'S LIVING ROOM – 7:25 PM
TORI, JADE, CAT and ROBBIE are in the kitchen putting final touches to the cake. ANDRE and TRINA are sitting in the living room. BECK is setting the apple pie and cut vegetables on the coffee table and sits with ANDRE and TRINA.
TORI
I-T-Z. Done!
CAT
Yay! We finished SIKOWITZ's cake!
ROBBIE
Yep, and we have a few minutes to spare!
JADE
We'd have more time if you didn't sit on the cupcakes, Shapiro.
ROBBIE
I said I was sorry already!
JADE
No, what's sorry is how much of a sissy you look wearing that apron!
Everyone looks at ROBBIE. He's wearing a pink apron.
ROBBIE
This is salmon! It's a neutral color!
TORI
Actually, that's supposed to be pink.
TRINA
And it's our mom's apron.
CAT
One time my brother saw a pink-
JADE
CAT, why don't you go play with the balloons?
CAT
Kk!
CAT walks to living room. JADE follows shortly to sit on the couch next to BECK, ANDRE and TRINA. TORI walks to the living room, ROBBIE follows holding the cake.
JADE
Vega, don't let ROBBIE hold the cake. Haven't you learned anything from tonight's disasters?
TORI turns around and tries to take the cake from ROBBIE.
TORI
JADE's right, give it to me just in case, Rob.
ROBBIE
(DEFENSIVELY) Relax, TORI, I can handle it.
TORI
No, give it me.
TORI and ROBBIE are fighting over the cake, both holding the sides unsteadily. Suddenly…
CAT
(POPS BALLOON) EEEEEP! Balloons!
This scares both TORI and ROBBIE. ROBBIE, having more grip of the cake, jumps at the sound. TORI let's go and ROBBIE accidently tosses it, sending it across the room and splatters on the floor. Everyone looks at ROBBIE angrily except CAT.
ROBBIE
TORI!
TORI
ROBBIE!
ROBBIE
CAT!
CAT
What-y?
TRINA
Why'd you pop the balloon?!
ANDRE and BECK speak up sarcastically.
BECK
Because…
ANDRE
She thinks it's fun…
BECK
It makes a BOOM sound…
CAT
Heh. It's so scary.
At this rate, everyone starts yelling at each other because of the cake and all the incidents from tonight. All the while, CAT is sitting there popping more balloons.
Enter SIKOWITZ.
SIKOWITZ
I'm here, children!
SIKOWITZ sees the mess of a cake and the teenagers arguing and a silly CAT popping balloons. He sees the apple pie on the table and grabs it.
SIKOWITZ
Bye, children!
Exit SIKOWITZ.
