Thank you for the follows, faves, and reviews so far. And to the reviewer wondering where Andre is, I can't really explain. I write what comes to mind, and the characters that come with the ideas, so some characters won't be seen. I can't promise we'll start seeing Andre more to make up for his lack of absence, but he will be seen throughout this fic.

This has, yet again, another time skip. This time a bit greater, not by much, than before and starts showing where the 'seduction' comes in more and a hint at what I mentioned in the summary about Tori changing.

Disclaimer: I don't own 'VicTORious' or any characters.

No POV

One Week After the 'Ryder Incident'

"Uh, why are you sitting with us?" Tori asks Jade during lunch. Usually, it's just Tori and Robbie, but today, Jade decided to join them, with Cat and Trina following suit.

"What? You don't want me sitting here?" Jade asks from Tori's free side, Cat taking Robbie's free side and Trina across from Tori.

"I think it's more 'why are the popular cheerleaders' sitting with us." Robbie says, blushing when Jade turns her attention, though momentarily, towards him.

"There were no other available seats, and I'd like to think we're friends now." Jade says, ignoring the raised eyebrow from Trina. "Besides, Cat has a question for Shapiro here." She says, nodding towards Cat.

"Me? Why me?" Robbie asks. Though glad that Cat didn't have a problem with him having pictures of her (she found out by accident that he had pics of her in a bikini from the few times the girls did cheer practice during a small pool party with just them and Tori), it didn't mean they were friends or anything, so the redhead wanting to ask him something confuses him.

"Are you doing anything this Friday after school?" Cat asks Robbie as she eats her salad, dressed in a pair of light blue jean shorts, a light pink tank top, and a hint of her white bra underneath, her hair in a ponytail.

"Uh, working on something with Tori. Why?" Robbie asks, looking around the table for any possible help.

"Want to hang out?" Cat asks, sipping her water. "I got a new bikini and I wanted to model it for you." She says with a small smirk.

"What?" Robbie squeaks out, accidentally spilling his Coke on his lap.

"Trust me. You'll like it." Cat says, grabbing a napkin and 'cleaning up' the spilled soda. "So, what do you say? Want to hang out at my place for a few hours after school? No one'll be home. Just us." She says as she pats the drying soda, giggling at the blush on his cheeks and the obvious sign of his 'excitement'. "I'll take that as a yes. Besides, Tori's busy that day now too." She says, peaking at Tori.

"Uh, why, why am I busy?" Tori asks, looking away from what Cat's doing, meeting Jade's eyes.

"We're going out Friday." Jade answers, smirking a bit at Tori's flushed look. "Trina will help you get dressed." She says, taking a bite of her veggie burrito. "Oh, and keep the glasses. You look hot in them." She says after swallowing the bite.

"Ihavetogo!" Robbie says quickly, standing up and running towards the school, his bag in front of his groin.

"So close." Cat whispers before going back to her food.

Later that day, Tori and Robbie sit in the library to look up information for a History assignment they have. Their reason for doing it in the library instead of at home is because, after lunch, Tori told Robbie that Cat promised to meet up with him to convince him to hang out after school on Friday.

"So, lunch was interesting." Tori says to Robbie as they use the school's computers to look up what they need, keeping her voice low so any of the other few students don't hear them.

"Why did she do that? And why me? She could have any guy she wanted, so why pick me?" Robbie asks, a little louder than intended. "And since when are you and Jade friends? At least enough for her and Cat to sit with us?" He asks, a blush forming from remembering what Cat did earlier.

"I don't know, to be honest. She didn't seem to mind you having those pics of her on your laptop though, so that was a good sign. I remember when that guy Steven had a pic of Cat in her cheer uniform, she kicked him between the legs. But with you, she smiled." Tori tells him as they work, taking notes on what she needs to remember for the assignment. "And I don't have a clue on why they sat with us. I mean, Trina barely sits with us, and that's only when Jade and Cat are still in the gym or something. And what was that about there not being any available tables? There were at least two open tables, and one table with the other cheerleaders, when they sat down." She says, shaking her head.

"What happened at that sleepover?" Robbie asks, closing his notebook and putting it away. "After that, Jade started acting different around you, and now Cat is basically flirting with me. What happened?" He asks again, closing the web browser and shutting off the monitor.

"Well, something did happen that I didn't tell you about." Tori says, doing the same, avoiding Robbie's face.

"What?" Robbie asks as they stand up and go to leave.

"We were playing truth or dare, and Cat was dared to call you and try to have phone sex with you, but I refused to give her your number." Tori says quickly as they leave the library, barely getting it all out in one breath.

"She what?" Robbie asks, stopping in his tracks.

"Cat wanted to make you cum over the phone, but Tori wouldn't let her, even after Cat begged her to and promised to eat out Tori. But, Tori being the good friend she is, didn't want to embarrass you." They hear behind them. Turning around, they see a smirking Jade leaning against the wall.

"Jade." Tori says, jumping from what she perceives as Jade's sudden arrival.

"I love it when you say my name." Jade says seductively as she pushes off the wall and struts towards Tori. "Oh, by the way Shapiro. I'd hang out with Cat. It's rare she actually likes when someone has pictures of her in her uniform or a bikini, so her wanting you to take more pics of her in a bikini she most likely bought to show you, go for it. And as for her rubbing you during lunch, she just used the spilled soda as an excuse to rub you. If that didn't happen, she was bound to start rubbing you eventually." She tells Robbie, seeming to want him and Cat together.

"What, what are you doing here?" Tori asks, Robbie too stunned to say anything after Jade's admittance.

"Trina had to leave, so she couldn't wait for you. And since she drove you and Shapiro to school, I decided I'd give you two a ride home." Jade says, moving behind Shapiro and pushing him to make him move. "Don't worry, Cat left too. She has homework and she likes getting it done as early as possible. Except for Friday. She does that stuff on Sunday." She ways, easily pushing Shapiro down the hall, Tori walking beside them.

"Why are you being so nice? Just last month, you said a word to us. Now, you're sitting with us in lunch, trying to get Cat and Robbie together, and acting like we're friends. Why?" Tori asks, finding Jade's behavior suspicious.

"Relax, Tori. I'm not trying to embarrass you or Shapiro." Jade says when they get to the double doors and opens them. "Just know that what I'm doing is genuine. And as for Cat and Robbie here, well, that's a different story." She says, dragging Robbie out. "Now, you want to snap him out of it, or am I dragging him to my car?" She asks, glancing at Robbie.

"Fine. But if you hurt him, or embarrass him, or anything like that, I'll make you regret it." Tori says, snapping her fingers in Robbie's face, snapping him out of the daze he was in.

"As long as that requires whips, chains, and maybe a butt plug, go for it." Jade whispers in Tori's ear before heading for her car, a now stunned Tori staring at her.

And that's it for now. Hope this helped speed up the story a bit.

How does everyone like the way I'm going with Cabbie? I know I said there was a possibility of CaTorAde, but that'll most likely be friendship only. And me saying there would also be Trina/Beck/Cat was only for the beginning. I intended there to be more, but with how this is going, the only CaTorAde will be friendship, and Beck will only get with Trina. (That's if I make it Brina. I'm kinda leaning towards Trandre with Beck basically becoming a player or something.)

Anyway, hope you liked it, thank you for reading, and please review.

Blessed Be.
