Hi again! In this chapter there's a slight Victorious crossover, but not for the rest of the story, just this chapter. I don't own Victorious or Holes! Oh, by the way, my sister, DaughterofAthena1024, has a story called Digging and Demigods. It's brand new and she would really appreciate some reviews. It's a Holes and Percy Jackson crossover. Thanks!

ITC Chapter 2
The damn sun kept shinin' on my face, that's what woke me up. Spark was passed out on her bed with the blanket over her fully.
"Get up, Spark." I said, kicking Spark in the face. I got up and brushed my hair. I took off my pajamas and put on black semi-short shorts, a white tank top, and a navy blue and grey horizontally striped half-a-shirt and walked out of my room. Spark trudged out of my room with her hair all messy and in her pajamas (red Lulu Lemon sweats and a white tank top). Jaycee went upstairs and I knocked on the boy's door.
"Guys, get up." I yelled. No answer.
I knocked louder. "Guys, get up!"
There was still no answer so I went right in. The boys were spread across their beds fast asleep. I walked to the side of Squid's bed and hit him upside the head. "Get up!"
Squid groaned and pulled his blanket over his head and I pulled it off him. "Get up! Zigzag, get the hell up, too, or I'll get the shovel from my shed and hit you with it!"
Zigzag sat up and got out of bed. "I'm up!"
I smiled.
Squid got up and rubbed his eyes. "Damn, girl, you're scary."
"Yeah, I get that a lot." I replied, walking out of the room. I heard the boys whistle. "You best be shuttin' up or I will get the shovel."
I walked down the hall and to Twitch's room. Blaze was in there hitting him repeatedly.
"Twitch, get up or I will get a knife from the kitchen and-"
"I'm up!"
We Mitchell girls have a way of power that we love! People are scared of us, though. We can't figure out why…
Squid and Zigzag came out of their room in their t-shirts and boxers.
"What time is it?" Ziggy asked. I looked at the clock above the bar.
"10:30 A.M." I answered.
"Whoa, we slept late!" Squid said.
"Not really…" I said. "You guys stay down here; I'll go see if my mom is up yet."
I went upstairs. Spark was sitting on the couch watching TV and drinking a glass of Tropicana Orange Juice. There was a note on the breakfast nook. I went over to it and picked it up.
Dani,
I have been called to a business trip in Denver, Colorado for 2 weeks. Luke will come tomorrow to watch over you guys until I return.
Love,
Mom
I screamed with happiness and started jumping around. Luke was my brother and my best friend. I haven't seen him since his high school graduation 5 years ago.
"Awesome!" I yelled, then running to the top of the stairs. "Okay, it's cool for you to come up now!"
"Twitch fell back asleep!" Blaze yelled as the boys ran up the stairs.
"Twitch, get up before I get the shovel on you!" I yelled. Not 4 seconds later, Twitch ran up the stairs. He was wearing a Mayhem t-shirt and Toronto Blue Jays pajama pants. He raided the closet. Spark got up and put her cup on the counter.
"Alright, what you boys want for breakfast?" Blaze asked.
"Anything but tortillas and honey." Squid replied.
"Alright…I'll cook something up." I said. I opened the fridge and took out eggs, a pack of bacon, and milk. I put those on the counter. Then I opened the freezer and took out a bag of frozen hash browns and maple breakfast sausages. The boy's mouths opened.
"You have no idea how long it had been since we had bacon and eggs." Zigzag said.
"How could you eat that much?" Squid asked.
"We're bottomless pits." Blaze answered as I put the rest of the stuff on the counter. Blaze got out the box of pancake mix and the waffle iron. Spark helped out. She mixed the eggs, milk, and pancake mix together. Blaze and I don't trust her with stoves. And she can't cook anything. She can't even cook toast! I'm not lying here. We made breakfast while the boys sat on the couch and watched Friends. We plated the 2 waffles, 2 strips of bacon, 2 breakfast sausages, and scrambled eggs onto 6 plates. I carried 2, Spark carried 2, and Blaze carried 2. I gave one to Zigzag, Spark gave one to Squid, and Blaze gave one to Twitch. Immediately, the boys started chowing down. I stifled laughter and began eating, too. Even though the boys were messy, I was exactly the same. Within 7 minutes, I was done.
"Whoa." Zigzag gasped. Then he said something like, "Man, she's hot."
Squid nudged him, shutting him up. My iPhone ran and I picked it up.
"Hello?" I asked, wiping my mouth.
"Dani?" Kat, my friend who sings at a karaoke club every weekend, asked.
"Yeah?" I asked. "Kat, is that you?"
"Yeah, look, Tori cancelled at the karaoke club tonight." Kat said. "Could you sing with me instead?"
"Sure, yeah, of course." I answered.
"Alright, great!" Kat exclaimed. "Wear your black sundress with the paint splatters on it, okay? Be there by 7."
"Uh…okay." I said. "Bye, Trina."
I hung up and set my phone down. "Kat wants me to sing with her."
"That dumbass?" Blaze asked. I nodded. "Do I have to come?"
"You all do. I'm not leaving you alone because you're frankly too young and I'm not leaving the boys alone because I'm not sure I trust them yet." I said.
"Fine." Blaze whined.
"What do we do the rest of the day?" Spark asked.
"No idea." I said. "I'm just going to take my after breakfast nap."
I crashed on the couch and used Zigzag as a pillow.
8 Hours Later
"Wow, you're serious when you mean nap." Zigzag said when I woke up. He was sitting on the spot beside me, dressed in baggy skinny jeans, a blue t-shirt, a white and blue checkered Billabong sweater that was a little too big, and black DC skater shoes. His hair was still slightly crazy.
"What time is it?" I asked, rubbing my eyes.
"6." Zigzag answered. Squid ran in. His hair was put into a triangle type thing with gel. It was kind weird. He was wearing a black t-shirt with "DC" in pink, blue skinny jeans, and black Cody Simpson-like shoes.
"Uh, Fuse, Spark said to come get you. She's having a wardrobe mishap." He announced.
"Not again." I said, getting up. I trudged down the hall stairs and to my room.
"Help." Spark squeaked. She had 2 outfits in her hands. One was short-shorts that rolled up at the bottom and a silver sparkly tank top. The other was white torn skinny jeans, a black tank top, and a see-through black sparkly half shirt.
"Uh…" I said, thinking. "The one with the shorts."
"Thanks!" Spark said. I walked over to my closet and opened it. I took out my dress that Kat demanded. I changed out of my current clothes and put on my dress. The dress was strapless so I wore a strapless bra. Unfortunately, the strapless was also a push-up. The dress was also kinda short. It went just above my knees. I curled my hair like in the August segment of Seventeen Magazine. I put on mascara and un-tinted lip gloss. I kinda fluffed my hair and smiled. I put on black flats and walked out of the room, followed by Spark. Laney was close behind us wearing a Hollister shirt, a shirt, and black hi-tops. We walked up the stairs and into the living room, greeted with whistles. Twitch was there, wearing blue jeans, an Aeropostale shirt, and Etnie shoes. His hair was combed like Justin Bieber's.
"I know, we sexy." I said, doing a model move. "Girls quick, act natural."
We all went into different poses. Jaycee leaned back with her hand behind her head, me with one arm in the air and a hand on my hip, and Laney leaning forward with her hands on her knees. The boys started laughing.
"Alright, let's go." I said, getting my car keys off a hook and walking to the garage. Everyone followed. I gave Spark another pair of keys.
"Spark, you take Squid and Twitch in the car. I'll take Blaze and Zigzag in the truck." I said. "And NO Blaze, you can NOT have the front seat."
Blaze looked down and I walked to Luke's red 2011 Ford and unlocked it. The three of us got in. Blaze was lying in the back seat and picked up a book off the ground.
"Whatcha reading?" I asked.
"Uh," Laney said, checking the cover of the book. "Holes."
We both got wide-eyes.
"What's it about? You guys look like you just saw a ghost." Zigzag said.
"Nothing." I said. We pulled out of the garage and drove down the street. As we turned, Blaze threw the book out the window.
"What was that?" Zigzag asked.
"Nothing." Blaze and I said simultaneously. We drove downtown and to the karaoke club, Karaoke Dokie. We parked in the back and we all walked in in one big group. Two girls were singing, very horribly, Who Knew by Pink. I saw Kat on the other side of the club. She saw me and called me over.
"Thank god, we're on next!" she said. She looked around me. "Hey, who are those guys? The blonde one's pretty cute."
"Hey, don't go there! He's mine." I said. "But they're Ricky, Alan, and Brian."
"Oh, okay." Kat said. "Come on; let's sit with Beck and Jade.
I looked at my friends and Blaze. They gave me the sign of Go ahead. I sat with Beck and Jade. We were soon joined by Andre, Robbie, and Rex. Rex is a ventriloquist dummy that Robbie carries around all the time but we treat him like a normal person.
"Hey, where is Tori anyway?" I asked.
"Helping Trina with her gum blood." Andre answered.
"Gum blood?" I questioned.
"Trina got her wisdom teeth taken out this afternoon." Beck said. Jade was unusually quiet. She got up with her soda cup and walked to the soda machines.
"Why is she so quiet?" I asked.
"She lost her voice." Kat answered. "I was going to sing with her but no voice. Then I called Tori but she was busy with Trina."
"Then you called me." I said, catching on. It wasn't hard to do. Kat nodded and explained to me that the two girls on stage, Haley and Julie, started hitting on Beck and Andre. The girls finally stopped singing and we all started clapping. Jade joined us and clapped to. She nudged me.
"Yeah, we're clapping because it's over!" I yelled. Everyone in the club laughed.
"Next up we have Kat Valentine and Danielle Castellan." The MC said. My friends, all 10 of them, started clapping as Kat and I got up and went to the back of the stage. We were each handed a mic.
"We would like to sing Give It Up." Kat said. I turned around, facing the wall, as Kat faced the crowd. The beginning music played and I spinned around as I began to sing.

It's the same old story
But you never get it right
Give it up
Whoa-oooo-oa, yeah!
We got a huge round of applause at the end of our song. We went back and sat down with Zigzag, Squid, Twitch, Spark, and Blaze.
"Wow, you are an amazing singer." Zigzag said.
"I've been told." I said. The owner of the karaoke club came up on stage with a glass microphone trophy.
"We have had some amazing singers tonight." He said. "But I believe 2 girls have earned this award. Come on up…" there was amazing dramatic silence. "Haley and Julie!"
All our jaws dropped.
"What the hell, we did way better than them!" I screamed.
"Zip it, skank." Haley said. I jumped up and started chasing her around the club, screaming. I grabbed a metal pole and raised it over my head. Zigzag and Squid caught up to me and held me back. I started kicking as Haley stood in front of me and smirked. Squid and Zigzag had to drag me out of the club, followed by Twitch, Blaze, and Spark.
"No fair, no fair!" I was screaming.
"Fuse, Fuse, calm down!" Zigzag said as he and Squid let me go.
"Now we see why you're called Fuse." Squid said.
"Those two girls didn't deserve to win!" I yelled. "They were horrible!"
"I know, I know." Zigzag said.
"It's just not fair!" I argued.
"I know it isn't." Zigzag said, pulling me into a hug. It felt awkward and good at the same time. He hugged me tighter.
"Alright, enough with the lovey-dovey crap." Blaze said. "I'm starved."
"What do you guys want for dinner?" I asked.
"McDonalds!" Spark said.
"You always want McDonalds." I said. "But okay."
We got to the cars and we all got assigned the same car. We drove up the North hill to McDonalds. I got a text from Spark.
in or drv-thru?
in
We pulled into the parking lot of the not-so-busy McDonalds and parked beside each other.
"Oh my god, it has been so long since I had McDonalds." Zigzag said. His mouth was like Niagara Falls. The Canadian side. We all ran into the McDonalds. Spark biffed it on the way and we all burst out laughing. We walked into McDonalds laughing. I saw that my friends Kelly and David were working. I went up to the till and we ordered 6 Big Mac meals. As soon as the boys got their meals, they made almost a mess.
"Slow down, carnivores." I said. We finished the meals in less than 5 minutes (new record, yay!)
We left the McDonalds and drag raced the rest of the way to my house. When we pulled up to my house, I saw Luke's Volvo.
"Oh shit, he's here early!" I said. "Zigzag, you stay in the car."
"Okay." Ricky said. Blaze and I got out of the truck and ran up the front steps and into the house. Luke was in the living room and looked our way when we ran in.
"Luke!" we shrieked. Blaze loved Luke almost as I did. He got up and opened his arms as we ran towards him. I got to him first and he wrapped his arms around us.
"I missed you!" Blaze said.
"I missed you, too, Laney." Luke said. "But I missed Dani the most, no offence. I missed her getting mad easily and her many criticisms."
I laughed at that. We pulled away. Laney ran outside to get Squid and Spark.
"Uh, Luke, I have something to tell you." I said.
"What? You're not pregnant, are you?" Luke asked, panicked.
I laughed. "No, Luke, I'm not pregnant. Well, you see, Laney, Jaycee, and I were watching Holes last night when 3 of the boys showed up in the closet."
"Yeah, right." Luke said.
"I'll prove it!" I yelled, running out of the house. Squid and Spark were fricking making out of the hood of my mom's car.
"OKAY!" Blaze and I yelled, shielding our eyes.
Zigzag high-fived Twitch. "Squid's getting lucky tonight!"
"Okay, um, NO!" I yelled. I took Zigzag's wrist and Blaze took Twitch's and we ran into the house. Luke was waiting there.
"See! This is Ricky a.k.a Zigzag and Brian a.k.a Twitch." I said. Luke looked confused then gasped. He gestured me to come to him with his finger and I obeyed.
"They look exactly like Max Kasch and Noah Poletiek." He said.
"And the guy making out with Jaycee on the hood of mom's Toyota looks exactly like Jake M. Smith." I said. "That's because they are them, except they are their characters from Holes. So, as I said, that's Zigzag and that's Twitch."
"Really?" Luke asked. "Hey, Zigzag, come over here for a second!"
Zigzag looked confused then came over to Luke and I.
"Luke-"
"Zigzag, have you seen that new movie with Max Kasch?" Luke asked.
"No…who's Max Kasch?" Zigzag answered.
"Whoa, he really is-"
I clamped my hand over Luke's mouth. "Of course he is, who else would he be? Brad Pitt?"
Luke just shrugged and lowered my arm. Zigzag just shrugged and I walked away and opened the front door.
"SQUID, SPARK, GET BACK IN HERE OR I WILL CUT YOU BOTH!" I screamed. Not 2 seconds later they both came running in.
"Luke!" Spark shrieked, and then running and hugging him. Luke was like an older brother to Spark since I met her in 5th grade.
"Oof! H-hey, Jayc-"
We heard a scream then a crash. We all ran outside to the driveway to find Blaze pinned beneath a car.
