Wednesday December 18th
In Vegas
"wow isn't my sister hot" says Tori wheeling herself around
"do you have weird feelings for her" asks Beck
"what I can't compliment her Beck, before recently it was three years ago when I'd seen her last and she definitely didn't look this hot, you're a lucky man Beck, Cat I must admit your design compliments her figure perfectly, same with Cassidy, she's pretty hot don't you think Zoey" says Tori as Zoey seems uneasy
"I mean I guess, I have noticed she's happier since being with Chase but she was very submissive to her ex, to the point where he stole her virginity, in contrast she seems genuinely happy with Chase, she looks too much like me to see her as anything other than cute" says Zoë as Cassidy follows Maddie back down the runway
"Zoey, I have a question about Cassidy, her pay seems to be spotty, I fear the agency isn't paying her what her contract says she is owed" says Chase
"Cassidy's ex got her addicted to drugs, the spotty income is an attempt to limit her buying said drugs, if you can normalize her emotions and prevent her from taking drugs the income will be restored, they pay her bills with what they withhold, her phone bill, moving expenses all paid for my the modelling agency, she's given enough to buy food and clothes befitting a model of her status" says Zoë
"do her fans know about her addiction" asks Chase
"no and Cassidy would like to keep it that way so don't say that too loud, she moved to Malibu in search of someone to keep her from relapsing, as of today she's two months sober from drugs, that's why she's sweating a lot on the runway, she's technically still detoxing, and will be for a few more days" says Zoë
"so she's using me to to make sure she doesn't relapse" asks Chase as everyone cheers as more of Cat's clothes are shown off
"that was the original intention but it's quickly become more than that, she's genuinely falling in love with you, you care about her, she sees that and can't help but idolize you, she's in awe of your kindness, in all honesty if you asked her to have sex she would quickly undress for your inspection" says Zoë as Trisha, Rebecca and Lucy faint
"Uhh are they ok" asks Cat
"yes, they're just exhausted, final court questions were submitted on Monday, Trisha and Lucy were kept up answering as many as they could, wanting to get it over with" says Quinn
"I can't say I blame them, it's been pretty traumatizing yet there is a feeling of calm that comes after each round of questions as they get more specific, there's a feeling that justice will prevail" says Paige
"Trisha and Lucy have been cleared, they're no longer continuously traumatized by the things he did to them" says Quinn
"so they're lying to the court now" asks Zoey
"no, I made sure to make sure that they'll talk to the lawyers and that they'll tell the truth about what he did, they were having nightmares, really really bad nightmares, if they had continued they'd have been too scared to testify Zoey, the nightmares were convincing them that Logan was still raping them, that the world they're living in right now isn't real, especially Trisha, she's affected the worst that way, Dustin borrowed your money to make the room look so different there is no way she'd wake up from the nightmare and believe that she was back in Logan's room, Rebecca spent all her bat-mitzvah money on stuff for Trisha, attempting to copy Dustin's idea, the problem is that she'd quickly run out of money and she's too proud to ask for money from people, what I did was break the chains Logan put on them, they still have the memories and the occasional nightmare but it's nowhere near as bad, they're no longer vulnerable to his voice, the prosecutor wanted to make sure Logan couldn't issue suggestions to them if they by chance wanted to be there at the trial, they still remember everything but it no longer elicits a panic attack response, neither does his image, which is good because when they panic they're too scared to answer questions, it's also good because the prosecution and defence sent their questions by video, in the defence questions Logan's in them, he sneers directly into the camera every time his lawyer asks a question, he's trying to elicit a panic attack response" says Quinn
"ok so just to be clear they fainted because they're tired not because of the noise level" asks Zoey
"the noise doesn't help but no they're seriously tired, when they weren't answering questions they were working on today's homework so they could join us here, honestly I'm surprised they lasted as long as they did" says Cat
"let's get them back in their seats ad enjoy the rest of the show" says Zoey as Quinn picks each girl up and puts them back in their chairs as Maddie walks over
"how are the girls, Cassidy was worried they got hurt" asks Maddie
"what are you doing out here, aren't you supposed to be on the runway right now" asks Tori
"Cassidy wanted an answer, the agency won't send the next model out until they know if an ambulance needs to be called, they take on site emergencies very seriously sis" says Maddie
"they're tired, they had to respond to questions for the trial and they worked on homework that's being given to students tonight last night so they could spend as much time here supporting you and Cassidy as they could, they fainted but they'll be fine, maybe lower the music a bit, Lucy has always had issues with rather loud music" says Cat
"I don't control the loudness of the music but we do offer sound canceling headphones for those with sound issues, our model friend Nali has sound issues so the sound will be off when it's her turn but the music is otherwise required for the show" says Maddie holding up three pairs of headphones
"we'll take them, not sure if they'll wear them though, what's the general response on my designs" says Cat as Maddie hands over the headphones
"we love them also Cassidy has fallen asleep in every single one so far, she says it's like a warm hug, anyway it's almost time for the end today so there's a big finish" says Maddie
"what's your opinion on the crowds opinion of my clothing line" asks Cat
"my impression so far is they like it but we have a poll running the entire week for every clothing entry for all submitted designs by three companies, yours being one of them, independent polls so far on your designs seem to show favor of wanting more but we'll know more by the end of the week as the week long poll, now I'll be joining you back on PCA campus tonight, I've had my majority show so far, I have half of tomorrow off so I can rest" says Maddie as she heads back to the fitting area
"she really seems to care doesn't she, though I can't help but notice she didn't look at me" says Beck
"if I'm being honest Beck she was hoping you wouldn't come, she really really likes you and if it were only up to her feelings she'd quit modelling and stay with you all day every day but she needs the money, it's not that she didn't want to interact with you it's that you'd distract her, this is her job after all and she's easily distracted, then there's the fact that today is granny's birthday, or would have been if she was still alive so she's probably already distracted, she couldn't risk it" says Tori
"I understand, I just wish she'd hugged me" says Beck
"you're switching to PCA right, because Maddie is switching during Christmas break, I don't know how she'll take it if you're not there" says Tori as Cat drops and starts seizing
"omg what's happening to her" asks Andre trying to hold Cat still
"it's a seizure Andre, she's always gotten through them, in the rush to get out here she forgot her seizure meds, they're usually minor, Becca doesn't need the headphones, put one of them over Cat's ears" says Rosie as Andre puts the headphones on Cat and Cat's seizure settles down
"was it the music" asks Andre
"the bass yeah, it increased the pressure in her brain because it was that deep, she'll still be out of it for the rest of the show but at least she won't have a major headache" says Rosie
"you really do care about her don't you" asks Paige
"I do, I always will, aside from you Paige I alone know everything about her and I would do anything to keep her safe" says Rosie as Cat stops seizing but doesn't wake up
"she's not seizing now, why isn't she waking up" asks Andre as Jade puts the headphones on Lucy and
"like Rosie said she wont wake up for awhile, for her to drop like that the seizure must have happened the moment the pressure got to the point where she seizes, normally when she forgets the meds she can feel a seizure coming, for about a minute before it hits, this one was different in how it started but it ended the same, she'll be out cold for at least an hour, maybe longer, the altitude in the helicopter won't do her any good either" says Paige
"Rosie is there anything I should know for when she eventually wakes up" asks Andre as Paige stays quiet
"if it is as bad as Paige thinks, I've only encountered a situation with her like that once, when she woke up, up was down, down was up, left was right and right was left, her eyes were also crossed and she had trouble speaking, the on camp nurse said she had slight brain swelling, she gave Cat some medication I can't pronounce but she was back to normal within a few days" says Rosie
"was she able to walk" asks Andre
"barely, it wasn't what you or I would call walking, it was more or less like she was constantly walking on a gymnastics balance beam the entire time she was recovering, small steps, a few guys had tried to pick her up and take them to their cabin even though she had already been declared off limits, I defended her, she stayed by my side the entire last half of camp as a result, Cat and I have a serious bond" says Rosie
"but you felt you couldn't protect her and sent her my way" asks Andre suspicious
"they were all science nerds at that camp, it didn't take much of a threat to keep Cat safe, in the real world most people are built like you, Beck or Ryder Daniels, I could never protect her or Paige from guys like that, I barely kept her safe from the horny science nerds and nearly raped her myself if I hadn't at the last minute stopped and asked myself 'would Rebecca ever trust me if I did this to someone who put their life in my hands', that's the only reason I didn't have sex with Cat at that camp, I'm the only true role model Rebecca had, she's always been on the edge of good and bad, anger and sadness, my lead was the only thing keeping her from doing something terrible to herself or others, I knew then that I had to put Rebecca's needs above my own selfishness, it was that decision that solidified my bond with Cat, Andre you won't be going through this alone, not like I did, if you need help let me know, it will be as disorienting for her as it will be for you and Paige" says Rosie
Back at PCA that night
"Uhh Rosie, Cat's awake now, but she's drooling a lot, like a lot a lot" says Andre
"how long has she been awake for, it's important" asks Rosie
"I think a few minutes, she started making noise when we changed her clothes a couple minutes ago, they were loose for some reason and she told us if her clothes ever looked loose to change them for her, Paige can't be certain of a specific number, at least five minutes is my guess" says Andre
"her seizure meds come in either pill or injection, she should have a vial in her med case labeled fast acting, have Paige give her one needle worth, the needles are designed to give exactly one dose" says Rosie as Andre texts Paige the information
"is her drooling that much a bad thing" asks Andre
"it means the bass increased the pressure too high, your fast action stopped it, her speech will be slow to return, she will be able to write stuff down far before she can speak, how thick is it, it it thin like water or thick like liquid soap" says Rosie
"in between why" asks Andre
"her ability to walk will be hindered for a few months, her hand grip will be less than optimal" says Rosie
"you can tell that by the thickness of her drool" asks Andre
"the overall performance of her brain affects gland production, including saliva glands, her body can't regulate it properly, if it stays in the middle thickness wise then it will return to normal, if it thickens or begins to dry up then she needs more water" says Rosie as Paige texts Andre back
"Paige says Cat's left eye looks a little puffy" says Andre
"that's leftover from the seizure, she may have mini seizures as she recovers, fluid regulation in her body is off cycle because of the severity of the seizure, it should return to normal soon" says Rosie
"will she be able to eat supper" asks Andre
"it will have to be a smoothie, if shefollows the same pattern as last time at camp with me her drooling should subside later tonight and roughly by lunchtime tomorrow she should be able to eat but the disorientation will continue" says Rosie
"and you're sure the drooling isn't a serious issue" asks Paige as she returns from giving Cat the injection
"if it continues past tonight get her to the nurse, let her decide what to do, keep her up for as long as possible, do whatever you have to do, even if it means playing with her parts, one blink means no, two blinks means yes, that's the code her and I established last time, treat it like a concussion" says Rosie
"what did you do with her last time" asks Andre
"we talked about the stars, for hours on end, she finally fell asleep after six hours but let me wake her up for half an hour every hour after that for another six hours" says Rosie
"how could she speak with all that saliva" asks Andre
"I never said it was pretty, lots of spit but talking was important to recovery, though the nurse said she spent too much time talking and not enough time resting" says Rosie
"neither of us know anything about stars, certainly not like you do" says Paige
"the camp being about science was a lie, a façade to let kids have sex without having to comply with consent laws, Cat and I were deceived by that, her and I were the only true science loving nerds, our discussion was always based on our mutual love of astronomy, she will talk about anything and everything and will do just about anything" says Rosie
"she's been inquiring about making love lately, but none of us are at the age of consent, she seems sure it's okay but I'm not sure" says Andre
"Cat and Paige were sexually active at thirteen Andre, it's fine" says Rosie
"hey" says Paige upset that Cat told Rosie that
"I still don't know about that" says Andre
"her mom's the police chief, Cat told me that her aunt's opinion was that as long as Cat understands what making love and sex means that it's ok, back then in a limited regard, less so now, Cat's always been more sexually charged than kids her age, her mom understood that and so does her aunt, you won't be charged" says Rosie as Paige blushes
"but my dad…. He might" says Andre nervously
"trust me I'm almost certain Valerie talked to your dad Andre, if not Cat will call her and demand he explain it, from what I hear from Dad, Valerie is finally compromising, as in willing to put her gun away when she's not working, which was Lucy's condition for letting Valerie back into the family structure, meaning she is now allowed to visit but Cat has control over what Lucy can and can't do, Cat's exerting full control, Valerie currently has zero control over their lives and going forward Valerie will only have as much control over Lucy's life as Cat allows, Valerie will be here tomorrow, if Cat's nervous about telling Valerie I will" says Rosie
"ok, say we do have sex with her after making sure she is ok with it, is there anything we should know" asks Paige
"yes, no laying her on her back, the saliva could pool and given its not thin it could stop her from breathing, the best advice I could give is to have her lay down, butt up and her head over the edge of the bed with a bucket under her head for the saliva to drain into, I would suggest a sample for Quinn to check for certain proteins that could signal signs of concern, as long as she's breathing fine she's fine, besides she told me if she were to die because of missing a dose and the events that follow she said she'd want to die full to the brim, take that as you will" says Rosie as Paige's phone goes off
"when she's right she's right Andre, Kitty wants us to make love to her, all the way, no half hearted stuff" says Paige
"only if you agree to be involved, you've been on the fence about joining in" says Andre
"ok this time only, at least for now, I don't know how I'll react, I can be quite fragile, I'm the product of siblings having sex, my mind is but one fragile part, that's what Logan exploited, he found out my parents were siblings and knew everyone would assume I had the same beliefs, the only thing he never believed was that I'm an only child, he always assumed that I has my sibling waiting in the wings for when I graduated, even if I did have a sibling, the shame about who our parents are would have kept us apart, now lets not keep her waiting" says Paige as Andre follows her to their room
"now Sarah what did you want to talk to me about" asks Quinn as Rosie heads back to her room to rest her voice
"I thought you'd like to meet my girlfriend, Carlie Shay-Brant" says Sarah Stevens
"you look like Paige Howard" says Quinn
"she's my cousin, everyone compares me to her, her and Carly Shay" says Carlie
"are you from Seattle" asks Quinn
"yes, Carly Shay is my second cousin, Paige is my fourth cousin on the other side of the family, I grew up around Carly, I knew Freddie personally, I liked Sam but she didn't like me back, that's when I applied to come to PCA last year, when Sam said she would never and could never love me and yet she's pursuing Carly, who has feelings for Freddie but is too scared to say anything" says Carlie
"so Sam's going after a girl who doesn't like her back" asks Quinn
"ironic isn't it, though technically Carly has feelings for Sam, they're not strong enough to persuade her from giving up on Freddie, Carly has told me as much, that Sam's temper is keeping her from letting her feelings for same grow, her fear is that giving into those feelings would end with Sam going to jail for committing another crime leaving Carly sad and terrified to love" says Carlie
"are Paige and Carly coming to visit over Christmas break" asks Quinn
"Paige is coming down yes, Carly won't come down unless Freddie agrees and while Freddie will likely agree, he has a tendency to want to spend Christmas alone with Carly, she says Freddie will make the decision today and she'll let me know" says Carlie
"is Sam even in the picture anymore, I mean they shut down iCarly after a live argument with Sam" asks Tori
"Sam's become the silent friend, her mom disowned her after coming out as bisexual so she's living with Carly as she has nowhere else to go, they didn't shut down iCarly because of that argument, they shut it down because Sam was increasingly suggesting that they kiss on the show while wearing bikini's as an act to show lgbtq representation as a poll showed that ten percent of their audience was gay, Sam's lost her say in what they do, where Carly and Freddie go she has to go as well, whether she wants to or not and they made her sell her motorcycle….. wait that's her" says Carlie as she answers her phone
"hey Carlie, how are you" asks Carly
"I'm good, I assume Freddie made a decision" asks Carlie
"yes, we're coming down tomorrow, as of last night Freddie and I are official, Sam's not too happy though" says Carly
"yeah she has major feelings for you, is she coming down too" says Carlie
"Carlie, Sam wants to talk to you, is that ok" asks Freddie
"sure" says Carlie
"hey, Carlie, do you think we could kiss while we're down there, I was wrong, I was stupid, I wasn't thinking" asks Sam
"you told me that you don't and could never love me, I've moved on Samantha, you gave me little choice, I'll allow cuddling but don't think I will simply allow more to happen, I have a girlfriend now, I was head over heels for you and you made me feel like a freak, that being gay was a criminal offence, you can't just turn back the clock like that, words hurt Samantha, after you said you could never love me I ran in front of a bus, I was in a coma for two weeks, the moment I was awake I was transferred to PCA" says Carlie
"well Carlie, you're going to be seeing more of all three of us, our high school has a mold and asbestos problem, it's being shut down, Spencer sent out feelers and PCA responded this morning" says Carly
"how'd Sam get in, she has a criminal record" asks Carlie
"she had to agree to have everything she brings tagged and her dorm room will be searched daily by security, she will have no digital security, her phone and laptop will be searched by either Freddy or this girl 'Rosie' every week and anything deemed inappropriate will be seized, the only inappropriate things she will be allowed to keep are toys she's purchased or pictures of herself but they will also be checked" says Carly
"you've met Rosie, that big party in LA, she's trans, she went by Robbie then, the one with the rapping puppet" says Tori
"ahh, yeah ok, she's pretty cool…. She doesn't still have the puppet though does she" asks Carly
"no, she sold him off when she transitioned, we're going to be in Butler hall dorm, room 401 and 402" says Carly
"that's our dorm, it's deemed the safe Dorm, though I have to wonder how Fredward got in, because of the Logan incident PCA is a majority girl school" says Carlie
"they asked him very specific questions about his views on girls before even letting him submit his application, he sent it in last night and was approved this morning, we're packing and stuff, I'm just worried PCA will monitor my stuff and Freddie's too" says Carly
"if they didn't mention monitoring your stuff then you could sue them if they do, from my time here they tend to stick to their word, if they say they're keeping an eye on you they will, if they didn't say as much they won't, I can't wait to see you, Paige is coming too, she got kicked out of college for helping others 'study', she was helping other students cheat so her college status was revoked" says Carlie
"I never understood her, for someone so smart she can be really dumb sometimes" says Carly
"believe me she knows she looked bad but PCA welcomed her back with open arms, she's in this dorm too and like Sam, she's being watched, hey Freddie, between me, Carly and Paige, who's hotter" says Carlie
"for all I know you three are identical triplets, I wouldn't dare offend a single one of you" says Freddie
"first of all Fredward, Carly's the only one with a thin skin, thanks to Sam I've developed quite the thick skin and Paige couldn't care less about what boys think, second of all Paige has shall we say 'developed' feelings for Samantha, also the reason we all look alike is because of damn genetics, we couldn't be any more different, Carly's basically a fashion model, I love dance and Paige loves science, the only person you're at risk of hurting is Carly and she's fought for years to be where she is now, she wouldn't just give it up because you have an opinion on which cousin is hotter" says Carlie
"in my opinion Carly is hotter, though may I ask why you're name is basically the same, it can be confusing" says Freddie
"Carlie is my middle name, my first name is Zenzi, I despise it so NEVER use it, not if you value your life" says Carlie
"what if I called you Z instead" asks Freddie
"absolutely not" says Carlie
"Freddie she means it, her mom died giving birth to her and her twin sister, Carlie is the only surviving Shay-Brant kid, her sister died two months after she was born, my uncle is terrible with names, he has no understanding that unique names like Zenzi or Brinita get people bullied, sometimes to death, she hates her first name as much as I hate being called Carlotta, that's why I quickly had Spencer have it legally changed the moment I could voice my opinion on it, Paige's first name isn't Paige either, it's Irene, we all have reasons Freddie, we ask that you respect them" says Carly as she hangs up
"that didn't sound good, it sounded like the start of a fight" says Tori
"Carly's a neat freak, even when it comes to packing, she wants to make sure she has everything she needs, also she's claustrophobic, it changes in severity over time, when she was little she had to close her eyes whenever she hugged someone because she couldn't handle the hug itself, nowadays she's having trouble in cars, planes are a little better but not by much, chances are she's flying by private jet down to LA, uncle Steven has a few friends that would make such trips, you should get the room keys from Coco, Carly has specifics that she needs met, they're moving to a new city meaning they had to quit their jobs, the one thing Carly is terrible at keeping a stock of is feminine hygiene products, unless a miracle happens she will have no tampons nor pads" says Carlie
"PCA provides them free in all girl bathrooms Carlie you know this" says Sarah
"Carly will freak out, she's different, she needs to know where the supply is coming from, she's paranoid that way" says Carlie
"she's in luck Carlie, the pads and tampons in this dorm I bought myself, I had an issue with the quality of the products, I used my money from testing products to buy nothing but the best, if she wants to see my receipts, she is more than welcome to ask, PCA has a belief that if you're giving something away people should be ok with the quality, the agreement I made for the group was that I buy all equipment and PCA was to pay me back, retaining girls as talented as Zoey, Dana, Lola or Cat was too important to them, they reluctantly agreed, to start here again I spent forty grand just on feminine products, I've also beefed up security to the point where anyone thinking about entering this building needs a security card, guys like Andre and Freddie will be on weekly review for secure access, Dustin will be checked every two weeks, if Carly needs to know about anything in the dorm or in her dorm room she is allowed to ask though I would urge them to buy their own sheets, I assume Carly knows that" says Quinn
"if I know Carly and believe me I do, she's going to bring her own bed here you need to be sure there's two beds in Carly's room, she won't let Samantha sleep in her own room until she's sure the security can keep her safe" says Carlie
"there are three beds in either room, Coco will direct to the rooms and hand them their keys, me and my girls are going to be otherwise occupied after classes as Zoey has some bed fun planned, mail day is Friday this week, your cute onesies arrived, they will be in your mailbox minus the box as it was contaminated, you can trust that Chase didn't do anything but wash them, Chase and Michael are good guys, nothing like Logan" says Quinn
"speaking of I don't know what this trial is about but my first day he ripped a very expensive bra of mine, Spencer got it for me because like Carly my chest is sensitive to fabrics, he couldn't afford to replace it, is there anyway you can make Logan replace it" asks Carlie
"Logan, no but his dad is fully cooperating, unless Logan got naked pictures from you or he raped you Logan won't be able to reimburse you, not through the trial, his dad Malcolm is paying to replace anything Logan has ever destroyed or broken, just this week he's replaced fifteen thousand dollars worth of products, give me the details, cup size, where it was bought and how much it cost at the time it was purchased and I will get the information along to Malcolm so he can get it replaced, that's actually how I got this tiedye dress back, mind you it was only thirty dollars but it was one of my favourites, the design is slightly different but it was otherwise identical to the one Logan ruined, anyway you girls should get some rest, school is back in session tomorrow but Friday is off again so we can go back to Vegas to see the last day of the fashion show" says Quinn
"tell Beck that he's very hot…. And very lucky, forget about the first part" says Sarah as she hurries off to their dorm room
"oh Sarah, you always let your thoughts slip, as if I'd tell anyone the things you've let slip" mutters Quinn heading to snuggle her girls
