So err...hi guys?

Yes, yes I know.

WE HATE YOU AND YOUR STUPID MONTHS-LONG BREAKS. WE WANT MORE CROSSOVER STUFF! AAAHHHHH *RAISES PITCHFORKS*

And I'm sorry. I just sort of needed a break to work on my writing. And it turned out longer than I expected. A lot of stuff's happened. LIKE THE FACT THAT VICTORIOUS HAS ENDED! WHAT?

And I learnt how to do those line thingies. Yay :)

Anyway, here's that long awaited chapter. Hopefully the next wait won't be so soon.

Oh, and before I forget, there is now a poll on my profile where you can choose who you want next to be claimed. Make sure to vote.

Disclaimer: I don't own Victorious or Percy Jackson.

Chapter Five

Beck's POV

"Nice moves 21," Jake patted me on the back as we walked up the path from the sword arena to the cabins. "Just try to pay attention when you block the opponent."

"Thanks Jake," I shrugged. "I'll see you in Archery?"

"Yep. See ya," Jake waved, before heading towards the Hephaestus cabin. I trudged along the windy path up to Cabin 21, brushing a hand through my hair. Was it weird that I sort of missed wind? It was never windy here, since the weather was manipulated for the strawberries.

The calm solace of the lazy afternoon was nice. Until it was broken by yelling and screaming from Cabin 21. I sighed, and pushed the cabin door open. Just like in Hollywood Arts, I was once again the peace-maker of the group. I guess some things never change.

Inside the cabin, Jade was having a shouting match with Cat and Robbie. Cat looked close to tears, while Robbie was holding onto her with one arm and pointing at Jade with the other. "Guys?"

They carried on shouting. Jade was livid. "I CAN DO WHATEVER I WANT! I DON'T NEED YOU TWO TO DECIDE FOR ME!"

"GUYS!" I raised my voice, and three heads turned to face me. I looked at Jade, and noticed her half-packed bag on her bed. Putting two and two together, I turned to Robbie and Cat. "Why don't you two go down to the Big Tree. I think Tori's down there with Annabeth."

They both nodded, Cat trying to hold back her tears as they both hurried out of the cabin. As soon as the door closed, I walked slowly towards Jade. She still had that angry look on her face. "Now, why don't you tell me what's wrong?"

"I can't take this anymore, Beck!" Jade hissed. "All this...this half-blood talking, and monsters, and Greek. I was supposed to be an actress or a singer, not some dorky-looking Greek warrior. This-this isn't what I-I'm supposed to be," her voice started breaking, and I enveloped her in a big hug.

"Hey, calm down," I soothed, rubbing her back. She pressed her face into my shoulder. "I know this is hard Jade. I spent three years getting into Hollywood Arts, remember? And do you remember what you said when I got in?"

"Looks like Hollywood does have a brain after all," Jade sniffed, reminiscing. I smiled at the memory, and pulled her slightly closer.

"And do you remember when you wanted to leave, because no-one wanted to direct your play and you were scared you couldn't be an actress?" I continued. "What did I say?"

"Live for the now, Jade. Because futures change but right now is permanent," Jade muttered, knowing what I was getting at. And hating it.

"Exactly. And then your play was directed by Sikowitz, we met Cat when she played Victim #8 and things got better. Don't you realise that you can't just leave? We'd miss you all. I'd miss you."

"I wasn't going to go alone," Jade argued. "I was going to wait for you. I'd never leave without you. I love you."

"I love you too," I smiled. "Now, do you think you can possibly bear to stay here with us? You never know what might happen."

Jade pouted slightly, but sighed. "I guess it wouldn't hurt."

I carefully kissed her protruding bottom lip. "Thank you."

Tori's POV

"Hey guys," I smiled as I spotted Cat and Robbie walking towards us.

Cat sniffed. I looked at her, worried. Robbie was holding onto her arm, and didn't exactly look too happy. Cat sat down next to me, and sighed. "Jade wants to leave the camp."

Annabeth's eyes widened slightly. "She can't. She'd get killed before she got five miles away from here."

"She won't listen," Cat pouted.

"But Beck's talking to her," Robbie added, sitting down next to her. "She'll come around."

"Why does she want to leave?" I asked, confused. I would have thought Jade would love it here. All the violence, and the maiming, and the lava. This is like Heaven for Jade. Or Hell. Whichever one she prefers.

"She wants to go home. She doesn't want to be a demi-god," Robbie supplied.

Cat's bottom lip was still quivering. I put on a big smile and patted her shoulder. "It's going to be okay. You know how much Jade loves Beck. If he's staying, she's staying."

A third shadow blocked out the sun from filtering through the tree leaves, and I looked up to see Percy. "Hey guys. I was wondering if I could steal Annabeth from you for a few seconds."

"Why would you need to steal Annabeth?" Cat asked, confused.

"Because I need help with something," Percy smiled.

"Why don't you ask Tori? She is your girlfriend."

"Cat!" I shouted, incredulous.

Annabeth and Percy were staring at us both. Annabeth's smile had slipped from her face, while Percy just looked confused. Cat looked between us. "But he is! You guys hang out and laugh and stuff."

"Yeah but...you do that stuff with Ro-" I cut myself off. Maybe that wasn't the best example for Cat. "With Beck. And he has Jade. But does that make him your boyfriend."

"...No," Cat pouted.

"Exactly," I looked up at Percy and Annabeth. "You guys go...do whatever. I'll see you later."

Annabeth's smile was back, as she took Percy's hand. They were honestly the cutest couple I had seen in a long while.

Cat seemed almost back to normal, as she blew a few strands of her red hair away from her face. I looked at Robbie, who was staring at Cat. "Hey Robbie. How's demi-god life treating you?"

"Pretty good," Robbie smiled. "Me and Beck were talking about who our parent might be."

I smiled. "Remember when Andre thought he might be the son of Artemis?"

Robbie chuckled. "Well, you have to cut him some slack. He didn't know she was a Maiden Goddess then."

"I'm surprised she didn't smite him there on the spot."

Cat stood up, smiling again. "Come on Tori. Let's go see Andre."

"Why the sudden plan there, Cat?" Robbie asked.

Cat looked at him confused. "I just wanted to see what he was doing. I like hearing him rhyme all the time."

"Cat...he stopped doing that ages ago."

"Oh Robbie," Cat laughed, poking him in the shoulder. "You're so naive."

"Look who's talking."

"...What's that supposed to mean?!"

So yep. See you guys soon, hopefully. And remember to vote!
