Chapter 1
A/N: After reading a lot of good Rade fics I thought that I could give it a try.
DISCLAIMER: I do not own victorious so don't sue me
Robbie Shapiro was always seen as the weird boy with the puppet, for a long time he had used Rex to help him cope with everything around him. When he was lonely Rex was the only one there for him, he may not have had the most comforting words but he was there.
Robbie had spent so much of his life relying on Rex to say what he couldn't and to be the friend he never had, but now he realised that Rex had done his job and it was time to let go. Over his first year at Hollywood Arts Robbie had made some amazing friends, there was Beck who was cool and laid back, André a great friend and a great musician, Cat an innocent and bubbly girl, and Jade.
Jade was a big part of why Robbie had realised that he didn't need Rex anymore. At first Robbie was scared of Jade but who can blame him, on the outside Jade seems like a cold and scary girl, but over the year he spent with her he realised she can be very caring and a great friend.
Over the last few months he realised that he was slowly falling for her, he tried to fight it at first because she was dating Beck, but as the days past he wound up spending more time with her. They would end up hanging out, just the two of them without Beck and the others. They talked all night on the phone or at one of their houses, but neither would bring up how odd it was that she was spending more time with Robbie then Beck. They had even got to the point where Robbie was able to talk about Rex to Jade.
He told her about his lonely childhood after his father had died, and how his mother dove into her work to cope. He told her about how his father had gotten Rex for him before he died and how over time Rex became someone to be there for Robbie.
Jade had spent the whole night just listening to Robbie and comforting him as he talked. She was the only person he had ever told about the origins of Rex, and that day she helped him realise he didn't need Rex anymore.
After Robbie talked with Jade he spent a few days just to himself thinking and he decided that it was time for Rex to be put away, and finally show the world who Robbie Shapiro really was. Robbie planned out everything for himself to make a major change in his life, he knew that after the big showcase that everyone would see him for who he truly was.
Over the last few days Robbie had been preparing for the big showcase. He had the perfect song for the big showcase, the song he would be performing was written for Jade and he was hoping she would realise that. He knew that she was still with Beck but he just couldn't pretend anymore he had to let her know.
Robbie had also changed his entire look for the big showcase, he knew that looks weren't everything but he knew that they still mattered. Robbie had spent an entire Sunday buying clothes, getting contacts and getting his hair cut, he had spent a large amount of his bar mitzvah money on it but he knew that it would be worth it.
At the moment he was wearing some dark blue jeans with a grey t-shirt and a black over coat, he had his contacts in, and his hair was shorter and more stylish. All he had to do now was to retire Rex, it was sort of like a burial but in reality all he was doing was putting Rex into a box and into the closet.
It may not have seemed like much to someone else, but for Robbie, after spending years with Rex, this was a big moment. Robbie picked up Rex from the bed and held him over to box, looking Rex in the eye.
"I guess this is goodbye Rex, thanks for all you did". Robbie said sadly as he softly put Rex into the box. Rex turned to him and said "Well we both knew this day would come just don't try to screw this up without me."
Robbie just sighed as he looked Rex with a small smirk, "I'll try my best and hopefully after this I won't need you any more."
"Whatever man, just close the lid already I hate long goodbyes." Rex said as Robbie closed the lid on the box.
Robbie looked at the box with a sad smile as he carefully put it into the closet. He got up from the ground and headed out the door. As he stepped out he could only think how this was that start of a new chapter in his life.
