I totally forgot about this for yesterday, so sorry! This is the epilogue. Please read my longer A/N at the bottom. Hope you enjoy!

One Year Later

Graduation

"Mom, come on!" Tori Vega cried, pulling her towards the gang. Andre smiled, kissing her on the lips. "Now nooow," Tori whined, kissing his cheek. "Mom, we need one last group photo."

She handed her the camera, snuggling into Andre and hooking an arm around Jade.

"Cheese!", said Holly, who had been trying to be involved in Tori's life. She took a few photos of Cat, Robbie, Beck, Jade, Tori and Andre, before calling to her husband. "David, get over here! I want a picture with my little girl at her graduation!" A few tears trailed down her cheek as she thought of the one her eldest had never gotten. She wiped them away, focusing on her daughter.

"Jade, come talk to my dad! Leave poor Cat alone!" A rehabilitated Beck called out. Jade groaned good naturedly, but left, motioning for Cat to follow her.

Cat blushed, giving Mark, her boyfriend of four months, one last kiss. Her dark brown hair shone under the sun as she raced after her best friend.

"At least she stopped bugging me about Robbie and I getting together," Cat murmured to Tori as they strode past her. She had to agree. While Cat and Robbie had been cute, Cat wasn't the person Robbie had thought she was, and it had taken a toll on their friendship as well. She took a few pictures with her parents before they left her alone, talking about their own high school graduations. In the corner of her eye, she saw a familiar face.

Sinjin, who had graduated last year, was hanging around because of his sister, Courtney. He'd picked up a habit of smoking, which made him even less attractive to girls, but now went to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Tori wondered fleetingly if he'd mentioned how he'd spied on people for years, trying to get them to be his friends. The thought didn't last long before she was pulled into a hug by none other than Lindsay.

"Hey!" Tori said, smiling at the girl. She had been held back for her 12th grade, and had apologized to Tori profusely. She wasn't really friends with her, but she didn't despise her as she once had.

"Just wanted to see how you were doing. I can't believe you're going to the University of California with me!" Lindsay exclaimed, beaming.

Tori had applied to more prestigious colleges, including Stanford, but had decided to go to a more friendly university where it seemed she'd fit in just fine, It didn't hurt that Andre was going to a college only 20 miles away.

"My mom's calling me, but call me during the summer! We'll go shopping!" Lindsay shouted to her, racing away.

Tori smiled, sighing. This year had been so eventful, with Beck coming back, Robbie finally getting a girlfriend, and the group just growing as a whole. Jade had even stopped being overly rude to her, although she still retained her bitter personality, she was more calm. College applications had been a bear, and all of the stress had been driving her crazy. Thankfully, Mr. Busey had moved away, so she didn't have to worry about him spying on her along with everything else. She was pulled out of her thoughts by Jade, who tugged on her arm.

"Tori, tell Beck that he has to spend summer vacation with me!" She ordered, smiling playfully. Tori smiled back, following the command.

"Beck, you have to spend the summer with Jade because she loooves you," Tori said, winking at Beck. Jade unceremoniously punched her arm. "Oww, Jade you know I bruise easy."

"Maybe you should have thought of that before lying. Be glad it wasn't coffee," Jade shot back, before pulling Beck toward her. "Now leave, I have to make out with my boyfriend."

Tori just shook her head, smiling. She wandered off, not wanting to witness the PDA about to happen.

Someone tiptoed up behind her and tapped her shoulder.

"Ahh! Andre, you scared me!" Tori shrieked, giving him a quick kiss. They had celebrated their first year as a couple a few weeks ago, and she wasn't against being with him for the rest of her life. But, that was still a long way off, she reminded herself. She sank down into sadder thoughts.

"When college starts, we'll barely see each other anymore," Tori said sadly, eyes close to watering. "I mean, Cat and Jade are going to conquer New York, while you me, and Beck are going to be in California. Robbie's going to some college in Michigan! I mean, I'm happy for them, you know that. But it's going to be so different."

"I know, baby. But think of it like this. Soon you're going to be seeing Cat on tv, and Jade on Broadway. You'll get a roommate and have Disney nights at your dorm and join squirrel watching clubs. You'll be able to buy whatever you want and for once, you'll be in charge of your life. Sure, things might be scary and sometimes, you'll be lonely and maybe you won't talk to Cat as much. But it'll be worth it, Tori. You can't go through what we have and never talk again. We've been arrested in Yerba. We've performed as foods for kids. We've been trapped in a RV, and been in a Saturday detention together. Heck, if we survived high school, especially junior year, we can get through anything." Andre ranted, trying to make sure she understood. At some point in his speech, Jade and Beck had walked up to them, and later, Cat and Robbie. They stood with their arms around each other, smiling. It was true. If they could stick together after all they'd been through, they could do anything.

And on the other side of the room, a girl with shades and a hat that covered most of her face smiled too.

It's been a year since I posted this. Gosh, what a ride. I feel like i've spent so many hours on this, but in the grand scheme of things it's only been a few dozen hours over a year. And I think my writing style has changed so much... It took me so much longer than I expected to form a full story and write just around 40,000 words. I'm actually crying a little bit.

Victorious gave me something to look forward to on Saturdays. Jade always had a sarcastic comment, Andre a great song, and Cat some lighthearted words. Robbie was my nerd side, and Beck was the person who was his own. And Tori and Trina? They gave me sparkle. This show helped make me into who I am today, and I can't honor it enough.

I'd like to thank everyone who's been here from the beginning, as well as the people who just started reading. You guys are the reason i get excited to write, and I love you.

Give me a review for the end? xo
