Thank you for the follows, faves, and reviews. This chapter takes place shortly before the performance in front of the chancellor. We will see him and his group to watch the performance. Also, some of the stuff that happened between the end of the last and beginning of this happened from the episode, I.E. Andre getting bit by a vampire moth, still happened.

Sorry this is a bit of a filler chapter. Hopefully the next won't be as much as filler as this.

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

Tori POV

"What are you freaking out about?" Jade asks me when I walk backstage after checking on Andre and his vampire moth bite. "Did Andre's vampire moth bite start to change him into a vampire?" She asks, looking too eager.

"No." I tell her quickly, shutting down her hope. "And he's fine, thanks for asking. He's able to talk regularly again, in case you were concerned." I say, rolling my eyes as I check my hair and make-up, making sure they're not ruined or anything.

"Then what are you freaking out so much about? Is Trina's mike not able to be turned off?" Jade asks, stretching for the dancing parts of the performance.

"The chancellor is here." I tell her, checking my outfit and shoes. "Basically, the president of the island of Yerba." I clarify when she stares at me. "He's here to watch our performance, and we cannot mess up."

"So get rid of Trina and we'll be fine." Jade tells me as she takes a drink from her water bottle.

"Not funny." I say, slowly starting to freak out at the thought of things going South quickly.

"Is it safe to enter, girls?" We hear Sikowitz asks from outside the curtain.

"Give us a minute. Tori and I have to get our clothes back on." Jade calls out with a smirk as she heads to the curtain.

"Why are your clothes not on? And what do you mean, 'back on'?" Sikowitz asks, making Jade quietly laugh and me blush.

"We're fine. We're just checking out hair and make-up." I call out, slapping Jade's arm as she laughs. "What's up, Sikowitz?" I ask, glaring at Jade.

"It's almost time. And the chancellor just got here. Beck and Robbie are about to introduce you." Sikowitz says when we open the curtain to leave. "Don't mess this up. Festus' brother told me that the chancellor has no problem imprisoning anyone, even tourists, for any reason." He tells us grimly.

"How the hell can he imprison us? We're American, not Yerbanian or anything." Jade says as we head to the part of the stage hidden behind the curtain where Trina, Cat, and Andre are waiting.

"He doesn't care. So don't do anything to make him throw any of us in prison. Understood?" Sikowitz tells us, his focus on Jade.

"Relax. I have no intention of being thrown in jail." Jade says, rolling her eyes. "So, is there anything else, or can we finish getting ready for our performance?" She asks him, raising an eyebrow.

"Be careful." Sikowitz says as he turns to leave.

"I would not look good in prison." Trina comments as we all stretch.

"Hello fine people of Yerba." We hear from the other side of the curtain, Robbie's voice carrying thanks to the mike he's using.

"Here we go." Andre says, moving his head awkwardly because of the large lump on his neck.

"I hope you don't go blind like the chancellor." Cat says when the curtain opens, causing Jade and Trina to give her confused looks while Andre and I give her shocked looks as we walk out, quickly shaking our heads and getting ready.

Ten minutes later, as we're doing out third song of the mini concert for the chancellor and other Yerbanians, my shoe slips off after doing a kick move. Thankfully, due to how we were moving, my shoe flies off and hits the machine Beck and Robbie are using for our mikes and the lighting.

"We'll be taking a short break." Sikowitz says into a mike when the ones we were using short out because of my shoe hitting the machine.

"How did your shoe fly off?" Trina asks me when we go behind the curtain, leaving the confused Yerbanians behind us.

"I don't know." I say quickly, taking my other one off. "I checked the strap, and Jade made sure it was on properly." I say, starting to freak out, remembering the scary look on the chancellor's face when Jade dragged me backstage, as Cat goes to where we got ready.

"Maybe she messed with it to get you in trouble." Trina says, quick to blame Jade.

"It wasn't Jade's fault." I say quickly, staring at my sister. "It must've come loose while I was dancing. They were your old dancing heels, afterall." I point out, grabbing the pair of heels from Cat to put them on, these ones having a more sturdy strap.

"So it's your fault." Jade says, happily blaming Trina. "I told you to wear Cat's extra pair of shoes." She tells me.

"Not the time, Jade." I say, nervous about going back out.

"Are you all ready to come back out?" Sikowitz asks, neither of us paying attention to Robbie's attempt (a poor comedy bit without Rex) to keep the Yerbanians busy.

"I hope so." I say, straightening out my shirt and fixing my hair. "How did the chancellor look?" I ask him before he leaves, worry in my voice.

"Hard to tell, the eye patch over his eye and all, but he seemed to understand Beck's explanation about your shoe being an accident and Beck quickly fixing it." Sikowitz tells us. "Now, I suggest you all get back out there before Robbie gets thrown in jail." He says, leaving.

"Don't freak out. If he tries anything, I have five pairs of scissors on me." Jade whispers as we leave.

"How do you have five scissors on you?" I ask her, following her back out.

Thankfully, the rest of the performance goes well, no shoe malfunctions. Though, at the end, Trina did try to say she was the most talented one and that she should be the face of Yerba.

Clearly, it failed. And Trina was more than happy to put her hand over Trina's mouth and drag her backstage.

"Too bad you're not in prison." Jade tells me a few minutes after we put our regular clothes back on and head up to our room to rest for the rest of the night.

"Why?" I ask, cautious. "And you never told me how you had five pairs of scissors on you."

"I have my reasons, and I know how to hide things. Would you like to give me a pat down, officer?" Jade asks when we get to our room, Cat and Trina downstairs with the guys, and 'assuming the position' against the door. "Come on, Officer Pedesko. I'm a dangerous perp with deadly weapons." She tells me with a smirk, using her voice from Sikowitz's method acting sleepover.

"Spread your legs wider, Miss Goldenheart." I say, playing along and using my 'Officer Pedesko' voice.

Surprising her, I do start to pat her arms, legs, and stomach, finding a pair of scissors in each boot, one in the belt around her waist, and one hidden in her sleeve. (How she hid a sharp pair of scissors in her short sleeve, I don't think I'll ever find out.)

"Missed one." Jade says with a smirk, kicking the door open. (And probably breaking the poor lock in the process.)

"Where was it?" I ask, dropping the voice.

"You'll find out at some point." Jade says, walking to her suitcase with a strut.

"Wait. What?" I ask, starting at her. And yes, I may have looked at her butt.

And that's it for this. There will be one, maybe two, left of the 'Locked Up' chapters. After that, I'll do 'Cell Block', then a couple others, 'Tori & Jade's Playdate' and 'Tori Fixes Beck and Jade' in that order, and then just do chapters not based on episodes. Might do more episodes down the line, but don't know.

Again, sorry for the filler.

Thank you for reading, hope you liked it.

Blessed Be.
