Robbie watched as Tori sat up. His heart broke when she left him on the floor. Numerous thoughts began to run wild in his mind.

Was he not good?

Was he not pleasing?

Was she rejecting him?

Fear engulfed him.

Did they run into this too fast?

Did they ruin their friendship?

Did she not like it?

Robbie's eyes closed in pain. He couldn't deal with them being in jail if she wasn't happy with him. Tori Vega was just beginning to become the most important person in his life. If she didn't like what happened between them, he couldn't deal with her not being in his life. Especially when they just started to find eachother. Just when Robbie Shapiro finally decide to let someone in on his life, just when he finally got over Rex. He shook his head, praying that nothing was going on.

But he couldn't help but feel that everything was going to crap. Hell. It already started to feel that way. He was about to be pimped out. If Tori Vega wasn't going to help him through this, he didn't want to live.

This was too much.

Tears started to well in his eyes. This can't be the way it ends between them. It just can't.

He took a breath. A much needed one.

"Tori?"

He watched as she turned back to face him. And just as she was about to look at him, he couldn't help but close his eyes. Robbie Shapiro had the fear of rejection washing over him.

This couldn't be the end, could it?

Please God, no!

"Robbie?"

Robbie heard her voice. Her beautiful voice. The voice that meant so much to him. The voice that was beginning to find its way into his soul.

"Robbie? "

Damn her soothing voice.

He slowly opened his eyes, afraid that everything was about to hit the roof.

But when Tori saw the tears and the pain in his eyes, she couldn't help but feel sad. "What's wrong?"

Robbie looked at his friend, and took a much needed breath. His breath hitched in his throat. He didn't want to lose what he just went through. He didn't want to lose the connection that he helped form. Tori meant too much him. He couldn't lose her.

"Robbie?" She repeated. "You're scaring me."

He was scaring her? His eyes opened wide. Robbie looked at his friend and saw fear behind her chocolate orbs. "Tori?"

Her eyes sank. She looked at his chest. "Was I not good?"

He shook his head. "Of course not." Robbie sat up. All his fears disappeared when he saw her pained face. "You were…you were…" A smile crossed his face. "You were wonderful."

She smiled; relieved. "Then why the tear eyes?"

He took a breath. "I thought you were rejecting me."

Her eyes widened. "Rejected you?" She shook her head. "Come here." She smiled. "Give Tori a squeeze." He slowly made his way to her. But rather Robbie giving him a hug, she wrapped her arms around his back; holding him close. She lowered her head and kissed the top of his head. "You're parents really did a number on you."

Robbie let out a sigh. "But you pulled away?" He asked her, softly. "Did I do something wrong?"

She grinned, "Robbie, I was just stretching my back."

"Oh." He said slowly. Then it hit him. "Oh!"

"You didn't do anything wrong." Tori told her friend. "If anything, you were great." She smirked. "Besides neither of us had sex before. We wouldn't know what to compare it to."

Robbie smirked, "I guess you're right. We wouldn't, huh?"

"No." She told him. "We both had our first time. If anything, this was our first time. It would only get better, right? Y'know, better with time, right?"

He asked, confused. "Get better?"

She gave him a smile. "Well, yeah. If we're stuck here, we're might as do this more and more." Tori shrugged, "Gives us something to work forward to."

He nodded slowly. Robbie pulled himself out of her grasp. He turned around so they could face each other. "I like that idea."

"I thought you would." She kissed his lips briefly. "We'll put up with Bertha. But if she does tell the chancellor that you and I've been sleeping together, we might as well let that be true."

Robbie placed his hands on Tori's cheeks. "You're a slut."

She smirked, "I just might be." Tori kissed him one more time. "But I'll only be a slut to you."

He grinned. "But just promise me, no matter how much pimping I go through, you'll be there for me at the end of it."

"I'll always be there." She leaned forward. "We still have sometime before Bertha, how about you and I…"

Robbie smiled. "I like the way you think."

Then Tori Vega attacked Robbie Shapiro with a hungry kiss.


"You think this is going to work?"

Bertha smirked as she turned around to her cellmate. "I don't see why not." She reasoned. "Vega's too into him. She would do anything to keep them together."

"Look, Dana." Bertha replied. "You saw it yourself. When you tried to make a move on him, Vega was right there to protect him. She's not going to leave his side." Dana nodded. "Besides, the chancellor's the one that provided the opportunity." She smirked, "Plus, how many times did you miss out?"

She sighed, "More than enough." The redhead looked at the tabletop they sat at.

Bertha nodded, "Exactly." She took a folded paper out of her pocket. Bertha unfolded it. "We already got a lot of people interested in it." She grinned, "And if we get this underway, we'd be running this jail."

Dana looked at the paper. There were already twelve people signed up. Maybe Bertha was right.

"I just found out about them two hours ago." Bertha reminded her. "That's twelve people." She grinned, "Give it the rest of the day, and I'm more than sure that this paper will get filled up."

She asked, "But wouldn't all this kill the poor kid?"

Bertha gave her a look, and then shrugged. "Who cares? It's not my fault." She took a second. "Besides, it's the chancellor's fault. He's the one that threw him on the women side to begin with."

Dana nodded solemnly, "I guess you're right."

"Of course I'm right." She leaned in, "The only reason why I didn't put this into action the last time was because of Sheba. She had a soft spot for Vega."

Dana showed a confused look. "But they weren't together at that point."

She shrugged, "Doesn't matter." Bertha smirked. "Shapiro's still a guy. Well, sorta. The fact that there is a male on the women side is just too good to pass up. The fact that they're fucking is just gravy."

"Are they?" Dana asked.

"Don't know. Don't care." Berta remarked. "I saw them hugging. That's enough for me."

Bertha got to her feet and smiled down at her cellmate. "I'm going to go see if anyone else is interested." She pushed her seat in and went for another group of women.

Dana just watched her leave.


Tori and Robbie were back in their cell for the night. It had been a long day for the young couple. And throughout the whole day, they tried to remain calm, unattached, and single. They tried to do anything that would keep people away from thinking that they were involved.

But of course, that wasn't an easy task.

Ever so often their hands or arms would grace each other.

They would do anything to try and get some contact throughout the day. It was the only thing keeping them sane.

But they hated that what was about to happen.

Robbie looked at his friend as she leaned against the bars of their cell. "I don't know what we're going to do."

He nodded, and kept his eyes on the floor. "I don't either." Robbie smirked. "I never thought I would ever go through something like this."

She nodded and approached the bed. Tori sat down beside him, and placed her right hand on his knee. She squeezed him gently. "We'll think of something."

"We better." He said, looking at her. "I don't want to have to…"

"I don't want it either." She assured him.

"Especially now that we had…"

Tori couldn't help but have a smile on her face either. She looked at her hand and started to drift it to his waist. Her eyes then went from their until they reached the buttons that put the whole outfit together.

All she wanted to do at that moment was tear his clothes off right there.

Her eyes stared at his chest.

Robbie noticed the lack of touch from his knee and looked at her face. He saw her gaze climbing up his body. He saw her stop when she reached his chest.

"We can't."

She groaned. "I know." Tori got up from the cot and approached the wall. "This isn't right."

"Of course it isn't right." Robbie pointed out. "This is my life we're talking about."

He let out a sigh.

"Figures the one thing that goes right is under wraps."

"Robbie…"

Robbie looked at his friend. "I mean it, Tori." He got to his feet. "I've been given crappy hands all my life. My parents don't want me. Nobody at school will give me the time of day." He approached her and stood next to her. "Nobody would go out with me."

Tori sighed after he said what he did.

"Don't do this to yourself."

"Do what?" He looked at her, "Be honest." Robbie leaned in, "Because of me, we're in jail!"

Tori left her wall and went to the door the cell. She peered through the bars. Nobody was around.

She sighed in relief.

Tori made her way back to him. She took her hands and pinned Robbie to the wall. Tori leaned in and pressed her lips on his. She kissed him hard. Rather than expanding the pleasure she feeling, she pulled back.

"Listen to me, Robbie Shapiro."

He looked at her.

"That was then. That was before Yerba. That was before five days ago." Robbie noticed tears starting to brim her eyes. "That was the past. When we get out of here, when we get home. We're going to start fresh. You and I are going to get you the hell out of your parents' house. You're either going to get your own apartment or you're going to move in with me.

"We're going to work on your self-confidence, we're going to make sure we work on that. Because honestly, you don't think to highly of yourself.

"And seeing how you grew up, I get that. I do." Tears glazed over her eyes. "But you're already making process." She gave him a smile. "You dealt with Rex. You also finally let someone know about the truth. When was the last time that happened?"

He thought for a second.

"It didn't happen, did it? You didn't say anything before. Sure, you left hints. But nobody gave you the time to help pick those hints up." She took her hands from his shoulders and went for his cheeks. "Look what happened today. Look what happened these 8 days. You and I survived. By ourselves. And we're stronger because of it.

"We found each other."

She leaned in and kissed him.

"Don't take that away from me, Robbie. Ok? Don't you dare take that away from me! Because I can't lose you. I just can't. Especially now that we found each other."

He nodded finally.

Tears fell and she started to crumble. Robbie acted fast and caught her. He took her over to the cot and they sat down. As soon as they hit the mattress, Tori wrapped both arms around him.

"Please…stop doing this, Robbie. Please stop hating yourself. Please…just stop!"

Robbie laid there with her, his eyes wide. He didn't realize Tori felt this much for him.

"Just…stop…" She whispered to him.

He kissed the top of her head.

"I'll stop, Tori. I'll stop."

But she didn't respond. All she did was cry on his shoulder.

"I'm sorry, Tori. I'm sorry."

"Isn't this the pretty picture?"

Robbie looked up from the cot.

"Bertha…"
