A.N: I don't own Victorious.

I hope you'll like this chapter. Today was a pretty stressful day, but I wanted to publish something for you anyway (maybe some comments could cheer me up a little XD). Ok, enough with the sad talking and as always, let me know what you think!

Tori POV

It's Friday. I leave the studio cheering: today was a fantastic day. Andre and I finished my new album and it will be released next month! I'm so excited! If it goes on top, I could go on my third tour. Then, we signed a contract with a young and promising guy, who will work with us for a least two years. I'm really happy.

Entering home, my happiness increases seeing J and Emmie having a little quarrel. I like it because they are sisters and that's what sisters do. Usually I'm the person that stops the fight and finds a solution, so I clear my presence:

"Hi guys, I'm home. What's up?"

"Tor-Tor!" Emmie screams jumping in my arms "I missed you today. I made you a picture, wanna see it? Wanna see it?"

"Sure" I chuckle as I settle her down.

"Don't think you can get away with this, we haven't finish yet." Jade says to her, then reaches me and kiss me "Welcome back"

"Thanks babe" we sit on the coach and my little sister in love takes her spot on my legs showing me her drawing:

"Here, this is you and me at the park, with the swings and the slide… Oh, and look at the sun!" I love it. Yes, it's childish, but everything made by her melts me.

"It's beautiful, love. Do you mind if I take it in my office? So, when I'm sad or I miss you, I can watch it and feel better"

"I'd love to" she giggles snuggling more in to me.

"So, girls of my life, what were you talking about?"

"I was picking up Emerald from school, when someone's mother said me that we would have seen each other tomorrow."

"Why? What's happening tomorrow?" I really don't remember have organized a playdate or something like that.

"I don't know. The little girl sitting on your lap doesn't want to tell me!" Jade tells frustrated. Now I see the problem.

"Why is that, baby girl?" I try softly.

"'Couse" wow. The answer. Thanks Emerald. Now, don't come to me and complain if your sister gets angry at you.

"You know what? I had enough of your attitude and behavior, go to your room and don't move until we say so" told ya. Huffing, she gets off of my lap and stomps upstairs.

Jade and I called Addison's mother and asked her what's happening tomorrow. I can't understand why Emmie didn't told us.

"Emerald! Come down here, we need to talk to you!" Jade yells. She does what was told her and sit in front of us.

"What?" oh gosh, she's so like Jade, and Jade doesn't like it. I can't wait her to be a teen.

"Watch it. So, we know that there is an invitation for a party that's tomorrow. I want you to give me that invitation. Now."

Apparently, she knows that there isn't a way to get out of this, so she just stomps to her backpack and hand us a little cardboard that says:

FAMILY PARTY

Every parent is invited to our school party, next Saturday at 16:30.

During the afternoon, the children will perform their family doggerel.

I look confused at the now crying girl in front of me. The first one to speak is Jade:

"Why didn't you show us this before? You know we always make time for you" but I think that there is something more.

"Why don't you want us to come tomorrow, Emmie?"

"Because I'm an orphan, remember? You're not my parents, I don't have'em anymore!" she yells hysterically and runs off. Fortunately, Jade is able to grab her and stop her from run away before she is too far, but she starts trashing around trying to get free.

"Hey! Stop, stop, calm down. Deep breaths. Come on, shh." When Emerald has slow down her breathing, Jade asks: "What's the problem with that?"

"It says that only the parents are invited. You can't come" ok mental note: talk to Jade and consider the possibility of moving Emmie in another school. Seriously, first the Max thing and now they can't even remember that not all the children have parents? Which school doesn't write on every document 'parent/legal guardian' or 'tutor'?

"But honey, look over here" I point to the title of the invitation "It says 'family party'. Tomorrow it will be all about family and we are a family. Jadey and I are your family, right?"

"So, you can come?"

"Absolutely" says Jade

"And you will listen to my doggerel?"

"We really can't wait"

Emerald POV

I'm very nervous: Max was very good and they are all clapping for him. Now It's my turn (I'm West, I'm the last). What if I'm not good enough? I don't want to let Jadey and Tor-Tor down. Oh, no! Miss Violet is calling for me! Someone pushes me on the stage, I turn. Thanks Max. You wanna show the world that you're the best and I'm a loser, like you always say? Now I'm in front of the microphone. Wow, there is a lot of people here. Ok, not as many as there would be at a Tor-Tor concert, but I still don't like it. They are all staring at me. I see Jade giving me thumbs up and Tori waving at me. I wave back and then start to recite by memory:

"I have no dad, I have no mom,

they are gone and will never come.

But my family is still unique:

I live with Jade and she's so pretty;

I live with Tori and she's so kind;

they are together but I don't mind,

because I love them and they love me

and it will always be like this."

I just run off the stage. It was awful. The adults start coming towards us, I spot Jadey and jump in her arms, I don't wanna do this ever again. I turn to Tor-Tor and there are tears in her eyes, I turn to Jadey and there are in hers too. I knew it! I let them down.

"I'm sorry. Can we go home now? I wanna leave"

"You're sorry? For what? That was beautiful, baby" Tori says rubbing my back.

"She's right. I'm proud of you sis. And I think that mom and dad would be proud too." I smile hugely. It's true, my family is unique, and I really like it.
