"I can't believe he's doing this." Tori says, sitting in Jade's room with her as they work on homework, the most recent episode of 'Robarazzi', Robbie's web show on The Slap ending on Jade's laptop.
"It's all your fault." Jade says, working on her History homework. "You should've just let them kick him off The Slap, but no, you just had to put the idea in his head." She says, staring at the PearBook screen where the 'Robarazzi'logo on it from the video. "Now he's obsessing over Cat and her SkyStore obsession, Andre's ketchup addiction, which is stupid, mine and Beck's break up, and the two of us getting closer." She says, closing the laptop. "Oh, and your giant zit." She adds on with a hidden smirk.
"Okay, it is not giant." Tori says, hiding the spot where the zit is with her hand, staring at the Goth.
"So why are you trying to hide it?" Jade asks, closing her book. "I was hoping everyone would forget the break up, but Robbie and his stupid show think keeps bringing it up." She says with a sigh. "You need to put a stop to it." She tells the half-Latina.
"We tried, remember?" Tori asks, staring at the Goth in return. "He wouldn't listen."
"Then you try. You alone caused this. So you alone stop it." Jade says simply, turning back around and grabbing her Science book to start that homework.
With a sigh and an eyeroll, Tori goes back to her homework, Jade's words about the two of them seeming closer running through her head. As she works, she thinks back to the episode of 'Robarazzi'.
"Welcome to 'Robarazzi', starring Robbie Shapiro." Robbie says as the announcer.
"On this episode, Beck and Jade continue to ignore each other in the halls, and Jade and Tori seem to be getting closer, their 'frienemy' status possibly gone for good."
On the screen, it shows Tori and Jade sitting at their usual table at lunch, sitting side by side instead of across from each other, and seem to be talking to each other comfortably. Until Beck sat down across from them at least.
'What was he trying to imply?' Tori asks herself as she works on her songwriting assignment. 'I mean, yeah, we sit beside each other a lot, and we work on homeword and stuff at each other's house almost every day.' She says, tapping the tip of her pencil on the blank page.
"Vega!" Jade yells, scaring the tanned girl.
"Huh?" Tori asks, jumping and staring at Jade.
"Your tapping is annoying." Jade says, glancing at where the pencil taps against the notebook.
"Oh, sorry." Tori says, stopping the tapping.
"What were you stressing over?" Jade asks, going back to her work.
"What makes you think I was stressing over something?" I ask, staring at the back of her head.
"Because we've spent damn near every day together since the break up. I've learned." Jade says, working. "Just like I know you're staring at the back of my head instead of working on your assignment." She says, looking over her shoulder with a smirk at Tori. "So, what's on your mind? I don't want to hear your annoying tapping again." She says, closing the book and turning to face Tori again.
"What do you think Robbie was trying to say about us being closer?" Tori asks, setting the notebook on Jade's bed.
"Don't know. Why?" Jade asks, standing up and heading for the small mini-fridge she has in her room, stocked full of water bottles and cans of various soda.
"Do you think he was trying to say I was your rebound?" Tori asks, thinking about how after the break up a few weeks ago, she and Jade see each other at least six hours a day on average, not counting school.
"Doubt it." Jade says, handing Tori a can of Mountain Dew as she drinks a Starbucks Cappuccino for herself. "Why? Do you?" She asks, unscrewing the cap and taking a sip of the cold beverage.
"No, but it's Robbie. He's like those magazines who make up stories just to sell or be seen." Tori says, rolling her eyes again.
"Which is why 'Robarazzi' needs to die." Jade says, sitting back on her chair and turning her back to Tori.
The next day, after lunch, Tori walks up to Jade's locker as the Goth collects her stuff for the afternoon.
"I have a plan to end 'Robarazzi'." Tori says in a whisper.
"And?" Jade asks, closing her locker.
"Well, he's embarrassing us and telling the stories online, right?" Tori asks, looking around like she expects Robbie to appear like a ninja.
"Which is why we hate it so much." Jade says, shrugging her Gears of War bag onto her shoulder.
"Well, how about we embarrass him and post the pics and vid online unless he kills 'Robarazzi'?" Tori asks, a small smile forming on her face.
"How?" Jade asks, intrigued by the idea.
"Well, I got the idea after getting home last night. My mom asked me to try some depilatory cream, and those photographers of his took some pics, and I thought, if we embarrass him and post it online, it might make him want to stop." Tori says, shrugging her shoulders. "We can get Andre and Beck to help, since they have gym with him at the end of the day, they can grab his clothes and make Robbie chase them. They lead him to here, and one of us records him while the other snaps some pics." She says, staring at Jade.
"Sure. I'll take the pics, since I know you'll delete them as soon as he agrees, and we can use them as blackmail if he tries it again." Jade says, nodding in agreement, as the bell rings for the next class. "I'll tell Andre. We'll meet by your locker after their gym class." She says, heading for her class.
"So I take it I got Beck?" Tori asks, following, regretting the question with how it sounded.
"Yes, and you're lucky I know what you meant." Jade says, looking down at the mention of Beck's name, letting it slide the first time.
"Got it." Tori says, jogging to her next class so she's not late.
"Patience." Jade says, later in the day, after Tori complains about it taking them so long to get back, the camera she borrowed from the school around her neck. "It takes time to get here from the gym." She assures, pacing herself. "Hey, did that it cream work?" She asks, remembering that clip from the recent episode, curious.
"Yes, and never speak of it again." Tori says, pointing at Jade, the camera Jade got for her when the Goth grabbed the camera for photos earlier in hand.
"Here he comes." Andre says, trying not to laugh, as he and Beck come running up, Beck stepping around Jade with at least three feet between them.
"Give me back my clothes." Robbie says, jogging up to them, a towel wrapped around his waist, not noticing the cameras until the girls start snapping pics and recording the video.
"Not until you kill 'Robarazzi'." Tori counters, keeping the camera aimed at him.
"No. My show's a hit." Robbie says, keeping a grip on the towel to prevent it from dropping.
"Alright then. I'll just zoom in here…" Tori says as Jade jakes photos, zooming into Robbie's embarrassed face.
"No no no no." Robbie says, raising his free hand to try to block the camera lense, the flashes from Jade's camera flashing in his face.
"Will you kill the show?" Tori asks, slightly lowering the camera as Jade continues to snap.
"What will I do?" Robbie asks with a hint of a whine.
"Don't know. Don't care." Jade says, not stopping her onslaught of photos.
The next evening, as Tori and Jade work on homework at the Vega house, Tori and Jade smirk when 'Robarazzi' became 'Low Carb-A-Robbie', a cooking show about healthy cooking.
"We make a good team." Jade admits as she works on her screen writing assignment and watches Robbie and his team talk about recipes they found.
"We do." Tori says, nodding in agreement. "I want a blueberry muffin now." I say as Robbie talks about the 'BB Muff', as he calls it, which I can't help but stare at Jade with that.
That's it for this chapter.
To the first person who notices why I have Tori look at Jade with the 'BB Muff' comment, that person will get to give me a one-shot idea. All I ask is that it's Jori, Puckentine, or a crossover of the two. I want to take a break from doing anything 'iCarly' for a while, since I tend to get stuck on them for now.
Updates will be slow. I'm working on this and 'Hunted: Version 1' right now, with everything else on the sidelines. I'm still writing chapters, but since ideas for them aren't forming as easy as some others, I'm taking a temporary break.
There will be the occasional one-shot though while I work through my writer's block.
Hope this chapter was good. Thank you for reading and please review.
Blessed Be.
