Today I have a treat for you my dear Dravenites. Not only is this my first Victorious fanfic but its also my first story that focusses mainly on an LGBTQ+ pairing; Jori! Not sure why I picked them, they just seem like such a vibe you know?

Anyway, please enjoy!

Tori Vega walked around the halls of Hollywood Arts High School. With her, was a huge stack of posters for this year's Prome. This particular Prome would be a special one; it was her senior Prome.

As the brunette stuck a poster on the door of the Blackbox theater's door, she felt a familiar grab at the back of her jacket.

'' Hey Vega.''

'' Hey West'' Tori retorted at her bestie, Jade West. Despite starting out at each other's as arch nemesis' the pair were now extremely close. However, they both harbored a secret; their love for each other. For Jade it had started the first time she met Tori and for Tori it was when she and Jade sang at Nozu. The only thing keeping the pair from confessing their love for each other was shyness. Not a common feeling for Jade West, she was always so honest yet when it came to telling Tori her feelings, she just felt like she couldn't speak.

Tori herself want exactly timid yet she too felt a bit awkward around Jade, but Gd did she want to just blurt out some soppy speech about love and then make-out with her in the middle of the foyer.

'' Prome 2013. A night to remember. PS do not eat Cat's brother's homemade beef, the school is still being sued by Sinjin's father'' Jade read, as she scanned the poster.

'' Helen made me put that in. So, are you excited?'' Tori asked.

'' I guess so. I mean you know me, positivity, pretty dresses, un-spiked punch, not my thing.''

'' Aw, c'mon, go. It'll be fine. Also, since I'm the committee founder, I get a free ticket, you can have it if you want?''

'' What about Trina?''

'' No. She'll hijack the stage, sing and make people boo me.''

'' Relax. I'll bring my lucky scissors and be your bouncer.''

'' Great, thanks-wait? Bring? As in you'll go?''

Jade sighed and shrugged. '' I know better than to argue with you Vega.''

'' Yay, I win'' Tori hugged her friend. The hug lasted for at least a minute before the pair pulled away, their cheeks blushing.

'' I uh…have to get to that World Studies class I signed up for'' Tori rubbed the back of her head.

'' Yeah…I have uh, freshmen to bully?'' Jade said, not entirely convinced by her own lie.

As the two walked in separate directions, both thought the same thing to each other: You blew it!

-x-

'' Tori!'' Trina shrieked from the top of the stairs.

'' What?!'' Tori yelled back, getting up off the couch,

'' That modelling agent from Toledo is video calling me soon, how do I look?'' Trina asked, stomping towards her sister.

'' First off. Toledo? Why would you go to Ohio? Secondly, you look good'' Tori answered, smirking slightly.

Trina was currently wearing a tank top as well as a pair of blue jeans and knee-length high-heeled boots.

'' Thanks kiddo. So, whatcha doing?'' Trina sat down, motioning for Tori to join her.

'' Oh, just Prome stuff'' Tori slightly laughed.

'' Liar.''

'' Excuse me?''

'' Oh please Victoria, you think this is my first time dealing with you? I know what's on that legal pad'' Trina pointed to the yellow legal pad under a scattered piled of notes.

'' Oh yeah, Prove it, what is it?''

'' Doodles of you and Jade.''

'' What-no, that's, that's ridiculous'' Tori nervously laughed.

Trina gazed at her sister. The '' Trina truther '' as it was called, was her patented stare that she had started using whenever she wanted someone to tell her something. 9 times out of 10 it worked, this time was no exception.

'' Fine. Yes, I have a thing for Jade. Yes I think about her all the time but so what?''

'' Oh for crying out loud-tell her! You guys spend so much time together you might as well already be married. Hell, I'm already on the verge of grabbing your phone and calling her myself.''

'' Jeez, relax. I-I don't know how, its not like asking someone how the weather is, I have to bring it up.''

Trina put her hand on Tori's shoulder. '' Tori, do you remember what I said to you when you first told our parents and myself that you were gay?''

'' Buy a flannel?''

'' Yes, but I meant that night.''

Tori stayed silent.

'' Victoria…'' Trina said.

'' You read me an exert from Shakespeare.''

'' Which play?''

'' Hamlet.''

'' What'd I say to you?''

'' This above all, to thine own self be true. You told me to just be me, that, and I quote; gay is ok.''

'' Correct. Look, there's always a chance that Jade may reject you, but even if that happens, you always have Tinder and SCISSR.''

'' Hey!''

'' Haha, just kidding. Ooh, that's the Toledo guy, see ya!'' Trina speed walked up to her room since she couldn't really run in her boots.

Tori smiled. Her sister had really changed. Who knew a year in South Korea could turn a bratty, conceited snob into a smart and caring person?

The night of the 2013 Prome seemed to come quite quickly.

Tori's Prome committee had transformed the Ashphalt café area into an '' ancient history '' theme. Thanks to Sinjin's help, the committee had been able to create crumbled stone columns, marble flooring and a canopy.

The punch itself was cherry/grape flavored, purely so it could look like blood. It was mostly so Jade would come to the Prome but also for, as Robbie had put it '' Historical accuracy.''

Right now, the Prome had just started. Tori had chosen to wear a sleeveless white dress that stopped just below her ankles. Her hair had been blown out and draped over her shoulder.

Tori herself was busy standing by Festus' truck. The Yerbanian had been forced by Tori and her committee to wear a gladiatorial outfit.

'' Uggh, why do you make me wear this?'' Festus groaned as he looked down at the girl from his window.

'' Historical accuracy, and come on, its cool.''

'' I look like stereotype.''

'' A handsome stereotype'' Tori flirted.

'' Eh, true. Fine, I wear vest and skirt for night, but if the wind blows then I change.''

'' Fair enough-hey look!'' Tori pointed at Cat and Robbie, who had just walked up to Tori.

'' Hey Cat, Robbie. Wow, you look amazing'' Tori marveled at the synthetically redheaded girl's dress.

'' Thanks'' Cat said twirling.'' Who's your date?''

'' Oh'' be cool Vega, be cool Tori thought. '' I came alone.''

'' To senior Prome. Kinda weird, ooh look a mayo fountain'' Robbie stated, his attention quickly turning.

'' That boyfriend of yours is really something'' Tori chuckled.

'' Yeah, he is. So, are you looking for Jade?''

'' How did you-

'' Trina texted me. Go for it Tori, who knows, she may even like you back.''

'' Yeah but I-wow'' Tori gasped as she saw the sight in front of her…Jade.

The goth had decided to put on a dress, although layered like the skirt she wore on her and Tori's '' date '' all those years ago, this version was slightly torn. She also had decided to wear fishnet sleeves and had her hair tied into a ponytail.

'' Hey Tor, nice set up'' Jade marveled, approaching her friend.

'' Thanks. I figured that since Prome is supposed to be unusual and weird, why not go with something irregular, so… ancient Rome'' Tori shrugged.

'' Well, it looks great, also nice touch with the punch, it looks just like blood.''

'' Really? I thought it was a bit too dark.''

'' The darker the better. Hey, the link you sent me on the SLAP said that you'd be performing a song tonight?''

'' I guess so, why?''

'' Mind if I join in? We harmonize well together.''

'' Uhh, sure, just let me call the MC. Burf!''

Burf staggered over. '' Yeah?''

'' Can you get the stage ready? Jade and I are going to perform.''

'' Both of you? I was told it was just you'' Burf raised an eyebrow.

'' Yeah well, now its both of us '' Jade glared at the young man.

'' Uh, sure. Hold on, I'll prep everything'' Burf dashed away in fear.

'' How do you do that?'' Tori asked.

'' Do what?''

'' Terrify people so easily.''

'' Oh that? Just a gift I guess. Back when Beck and I were together, I kinda developed the death glare in case other girls came near him, which they did.''

'' Huh. So are you seeing anyone at the moment?''

Chill West, she's just Tori Vega. Oh who are you kidding, she's the most beautiful, kind and amazing person you've ever met '' Nope. Single as a Pringle'' Jade nervously laughed.

'' Hey guys, not to be a bummer but you're on now'' Burf said, reappearing.

'' We'll get to it!'' Jade shouted, making Burf wince.

'' So, shall we?''

'' Sure'' Tori breathed, following Jade up to the stage.

Once the pair got to the top, Tori tapped one of the two mics that Burf had put out for them.

'' Hey everybody. Welcome to senior Prome 2013! So tonight Jade and I are performing a personal favorite ballad of mine. So grab someone to dance with'' Tori announce.

'' So you do know Listen to your heart right?'' Tori asked.

'' Please, just try keep up'' Jade winked. '' I know there's something in the wake of your smile I get a notion from the look in your eyes, yea. You've built a love but that love falls apart. Your little piece of heaven turns too dark'' Jade motioned for Tori to start…and she did.

'' Listen to your heart, when he's calling for you. Listen to your heart. There's nothing else you can do, I don't know where you're going, and I don't know why. But listen to your heart, before you tell him goodbye.''

The pair then moved closer to each other and began singing together at the same time. '' Yeah Sometimes you wonder if this fight is worthwhile. The precious moments are all lost in the tide, yeah. They're swept away and nothing is what it seems.''

Jade took over. '' The feeling of belonging, to your dream. Listen to you heart
When he's calling for you. Listen to your heart. There's nothing else you can do. I know where you're going. And I don't know why, but listen to your heart. Before you tell him goodbye.

Tori took over for the rest of the song. '' Oh, oh, oh, oh, and there are voices
That want to be heard. So much to mention, but you can't find the words
The sense of magic. The beauty that's been (beauty that's been). When love was wilder (than the wind).

'' Listen to your heart. When he's calling for you, (listen to your heart) (listen to your heart). (There's nothing) else you can do, I don't know where you're going, and I don't know why. (But listen to your heart) (Listen to your heart) Before, oh!
Listen to your heart (Listen to your heart), (Take a listen to it), whoa. I don't know where you're going and I don't know why but listen to your heart, before you tell him goodbye.''

Jade looked at Tori, her expression that of attraction and amazement. Tori's expression was the same.

'' Jade, I-

Jade silenced the half-latina by pressing her lips to hers. This action was greatly reciprocated by Tori.

'' So, are we?''

'' Girlfriends? I hope so'' Tori smiled.

'' I'm not opposed to that'' Jade grabbed Tori's hand.
