I'm back again! And this time, I have an excuse!
Okay, so I got into a big issue with this guy I like(d) and my brother and we all find out and everything, and I was busy because I find out I won't be able to go to the same dance company this year, so we have to find a new one, and I'm busy, and writing random things for random fandoms (that rhymed :D), and rambling in all of my sentences, but it's okay because I'M BACK! AGAIN!
There will be some new communication methods introduced in this chapter, including Slapmail and texting, to keep things fresh :)
So, you might have heard on Twitter already, but in case you haven't, I'm gonna say it straight: Victorious is ending.
That's right. We just found out today, and it has been confirmed by the whole cast and Dan Schneider himself. After this season (15 episodes left) it will be discontinued, and followed up with a spin-off show called "Sam & Cat", wherein Cat Valentine and Sam Puckett (from iCarly) will be babysitting roommates earning money to pursue their dreams. Originally, I was so mad about the whole issue that I refused to watch the show, but I'll at least give it a shot. I hope you will too.
We're really close to 600 reviews! Thank you all for sticking with me, and I hope you'll review this without hating me for dying and returning ;)

Hi guys! It's Tori! Well, in case you couldn't tell.
Sikowitz just wanted me to send out the official invitation to our annual Ping-Pong celebration dinner at Maestro's! We'll be meeting at 7:30 PM in front of the building. Let's all send a special thanks to Sinjin (or Sniff Sniff...) for getting us a discounted reservation. This means we can finally buy that pool table we wanted :)
By the way, Robbie has plans tonight, so he won't be able to join us. Everyone else, I hope you can make it!
- Tori

Why isn't Robbie coming? And why is some guy named Sniff coming to dinner with us?

Reply From: MrSkinnyJeans (Sniff, Sniff)
Sniff is me, Sinjin. I picked it because that's what my mom usually says when I come home from school.
And Robbie's gonna be on a date with my sister!

I've got a question, better than all three of those: Are we all meeting tonight, or not?

Beck, Tori, Jade, Cat, Andre, Sikowitz and Sinjin all walk into Maestro's. Tori notices Beck and Jade, taking seats across the table from each other, heads bent over their Pearphones. Cat is playing with her phone too, while glancing around the restaurant nervously, and Andre's busily scribbling what must be song lyrics. Sikowitz begins talking to the Maitre-d', and Sinjin appears to be pulling something stretchy out of his hair. Tori sighs, taking a seat next to Jade. She's basically alone at the table, so she decides to sneak peeks at others' phones.
Tori turns to her left, where Jade sits. Tori pretends to yawn, stretching, and looks at Jade's phone. Jade's activity proves very interesting. She's texting Beck.
Beck says) Look, I get you're upset, but I'm trying to apologize and you're shutting me down!
Jade's thumbs fly, replying.
You say) That was the plan.
Beck says) Well, could you listen, for once?
You say) Sure. Fine. Whatever.
Beck says) Good. Jade, I'm sorry that I didn't-
Tori's view is suddenly blocked by Cat taking the seat between them. Tori sighs when the ex-couple's conversation is replaced with five minutes of watching Cat play Angry Gerbils. With nothing to do, and no food to eat, Tori has an idea.
"Cat?"
No reply. "Ca-aat?"
Nothing. The redhead is so sucked into her game that she doesn't hear Tori. That leaves one option. Texting.
Tori whips out her phone, clicking Cat's photo of her holding the leg of the world's largest stuffed giraffe (they had visited it in Fresno last month). She textst:
You say) Cat!
Tori hears Cat's ringtone, and the audio of Angry Gerbils ceases. Finally, she thinks.
Cat says) Oh, hey Tori! Whatty?
You say) I've been trying to ask you something!
Cat says) Oh. What?
Tori considers her question, wondering what could get Cat out of her chair, when an idea occurrs to her...
You say) Do you have to go to the bathroom?
Cat says) No...
You say) Are you sure?
Cat makes a face, wiggles in her seat, then types.
Cat says) Yes, I'm sure...
Tori doesn't know what to do. How can she get her to leave?
And without thinking, the brunette grabs her glass of water and dumps in on the unsuspecting girl's lap. She makes it look like an accident, but it certainly isn't.
Cat squeals, jumping out of her seat. "It's c-cold!"
"I'm sorry, Cat!" Tori lies, standing up and handing her a napkin.
"It's okay."
She shakes her head. "Why don't you go to the ladies' room and clean up?"
Cat nods. "Good idea. I'll be back in a beat!" Cat turns to leave, but stops and sits back down. "Wait."
Tori's phone beeps, and she looks at it.
Cat says) Brb, one sec!
Tori chuckles as Cat runs to the bathroom. Only Cat.
She takes her seat again, just in time. The waiter approaches their table, asking for orders. Everyone puts in their orders, including Tori, who orders the chicken alfredo. When the waiter leaves, Tori resumes spying on Jade and Beck's conversation. They have made it farther into the conversation, so she starts at the top of the screen.
You say) Sure. Fine. Whatever.
Beck says) Good. Jade, I'm sorry that I didn't back you up about the break-up.
You say) Oh, you're SORRY? Thanks to you, everyone at school has decided that I dumped you for Sinjin, then was dumped and begged for you back! So you're sorry?
Beck says) … Yes?
You say) RIGHT!
Beck says) What? !
You say) I know who started the rumor, Beck!
Suddenly, Jade turns and looks at Tori. Tori jumps and pretends to be checking her phone. Luckily, there was actually a text to look at. It was from Cat:
Cat says) Tori, Robbie's here!
Tori blinks at the text, responding, feeling Jade's glare on her.
You say) So?
Cat says) How do I look?
The waiter gives them all their food, mixing up their meals at least three times before getting it right. Tori takes a quick bite, preparing to reply.
You say) Um, okay? Why?
Cat says) Tori, I told you yesterday!
Jade finally looks away, so Tori ignores Cat's cryptic text and resumes watching Jade's conversation.
Beck says) Okay, so Burf asked me how it happened, and I decided to have a little fun with it.
You say) You mean, have a little fun with my reputation?
Beck says) Jade, don't think of it that way.
You say) Like I wasn't supposed to think of our break-up as a break-up; just a break?
Beck says) Why do all our arguments always turn to that?
You say) Maybe because I still don't understand!
Beck says) What don't you understand?
Tori stops reading, wondering if she should leave their privacy alone. At that exact moment, she gets another text from Cat. She sighs and opens it.
Cat says) Robbie's staring at me! What do I do?
You say) Stare back? I don't know!
Tori sets her phone on the table, trying to look over Jade's shoulder. Jade scoots away, eyeing Beck angrily. She sighs, turning to her right. At some point, Sikowitz must have taken a seat next to her. He's on his phone as well, so she watches him for a while.
Mom says) Erwin, I can't keep paying for it!
You say) But Mom, if I don't pay the Sanctuary every Thursday, the Koalas will have to resort to non-organic-
Tori exhales loudly when her phone beeps, causing everyone to look at her. She freezes under their stares, smiles nervously, and looks down at her phone. "Cat texted me." They still stare. "I'll just, um, answer that now."
Tori scowls inwardly. What could the redhead want now?
Cat says) Tori, he's inviting me to come sit with them. Should I say no?
You say) Sure! Why not?
Cat says) Well, you said to stay away from him!
You say) What? Why would I say that? He's Robbie!
Cat says) You said he's a bad idea, because of his lady friend!
You say) WHAT? I was talking about Beck! Don't you like him?
Cat says) Beck? No!
You say) Then who?
Cat says) Robbie!
Tori's food falls out of her mouth, onto the tablecloth.
Woops.
;*"*"*"*"*;
Woops? Why was Tori's reaction so strange?
Did she have something in mind?
So, I'm gonna put this out there. Since most of you have responded positively to the couples idea, and the poll came out with positive results, we will be including couples. Most of you said that you like Cabbie, so that is definitely a main option. However, I won't be including Bade unless it happens in the show. I don't wanna get into the whole "Bade vs Bori" front, so I'm keeping it strict to moments. Sorry, Bade fans.
