Cat's POV
"What are you doing tonight?" I heard someone demand. I turned to see Jade stood next to me, her signature uninterested look on her face.
"Huh?" I asked, in complete disbelief that she was even talking to me.
"What are you doing tonight? Do you want to hang out?" she asked.
"Well I think I'm hanging out with Robbie tonight" I said, shrugging.
"No you're not" she said.
"Yeah, we're just going-"
"You're not" she insisted. "He's going drag racing with Beck and Rex" she said, opening her locker and I could've sworn I saw a smirk on her face.
"Oh" I said, disappointed. "Then yeah, I guess we could hang out tonight."
"You guess? So you don't want to hang out with me?!" she snapped, glaring at me.
"No, I do!" I insisted. I was about to try and convince her more when I felt someone's hands cover my eyes.
"Guess who?" a male voice said.
"Beck?" I guessed.
"No it's me" the voice said, spinning me round to reveal Robbie.
"Oh hi Robbie!" I said, kissing his cheek.
"Listen baby, I can't hang out tonight. Something's come up at home" he said, holding my hands. I felt disappointment run through me until I remembered what Jade had said.
"You're going drag racing!" I accused, pulling my hands away and crossing my arms, pouting at him.
"You told her?" Robbie said, glaring at Jade.
"Well are you going drag racing?" she asked.
"Yeah, but how did you know?" he demanded. She looked at him with a raised eyebrow and he sighed in frustration, realising that Jade knew everything.
"I promise we'll hang out tomorrow" Robbie said, brushing my cheek with his thumb. I frowned at him and pouted more.
"I don't care that you're going drag racing, I care that you were going to lie about it" I moaned. He sighed and picked me up over his shoulder, making me squeal in surprise.
"We'll be back in a minute" he said to Jade before kicking my locker shut and carrying me down the hallway.
"HELP" I mouthed to Jade but she just smirked at us and went back to her locker. Robbie carried me into the janitor's closet and put me down, locking it behind us.
"Are you really mad?" he asked, turning to me.
"I'm not mad, just…why couldn't you just tell me you were going to the drag race? I wouldn't have minded" I said, sighing.
"I'm sorry sweet cheeks" he said, lifting my chin and looking in my eyes. "I, urm…I'm sorry" he sighed and kissed me softly, which was rare for Robbie.
"That's okay" I said, smiling and kissing him again. I went around him to unlock the door but he grabbed my hand before I could.
"I have to go to class" I protested.
"Buuuuuttt" he said, intertwining his fingers in mine and pulling me flush against him. "I can think of something better we could be doing" he whispered in my ear.
I giggled and leaned up to kiss him as he pushed me against the wall. I never could say no to a boy with a pretty face.
I was sat in my room watching Glee when I heard my phone go off. I looked at the screen and frowned in confusion.
New Message: Unknown
Who the hell texted me? I slid the screen and clicked the message, opening it up.
It's Jade. Meet me at Nozu at 8. We're having sushi. Bring money. I'm not paying for yours.
I blinked in surprise. She was serious about hanging out tonight? Where is Nozu?! I checked my watch and saw that it was 7:43 and panicked. I quickly went on Pear Maps and checked the address. Okay, like 10 minutes from my house. I quickly brushed through my hair and sorted out any untidy bits, and then put on some pink lip-gloss. I ran downstairs and saw my dad sat at the kitchen table.
"Daddy, can I please borrow some money?" I said, batting my eyelashes.
"Why? Are you going to see that Robbie boy? Because I don't like him" he said, frowning at me.
"Dad!" I whined.
"Robbie's lovely" my mom said, walking into the kitchen. "He clearly makes Cat very happy."
I smiled a huge smile to prove her point.
"He does" I insisted. "Besides, I'm not seeing him tonight, I'm having sushi with Jade" I said.
"That's nice" my mom said. "Eddie, give her some money" she said, hitting him gently with a tea towel. He sighed and got out his wallet, handing me $25.
"Thank you daddy, I love you" I said, kissing his cheek. "Bye mommy, bye daddy" I said, skipping out the door.
I arrived at Nozu at 7:11 and saw Jade sat on a bar stool. I walked up and sat next to her.
"You're late" she said, not looking at me.
"Sorry, I was badgering my dad for money" I said, huffing when I sat down. "Have you ordered?"
"Mine, yes" she said. I called the server over and ordered some spicy tuna rolls and a Wahoo punch.
"So why Robbie?" she said, turning to me with a scary look on her face.
"I don't know, he just…makes my heart flutter I guess" I said, shrugging and smiling.
She grimaced and I took a deep breath and braced myself. If I was brave enough to stand up to Robbie then I could stand up to Jade as well.
"Why Beck?" I asked, my voice not breaking. She raised an eyebrow and I continued. "He likes you, he looks at you all the time. And you like him because you never snap at him or anything, and you smile at him more than you smile at Robbie and Rex."
"Observant" she said, not directly addressing my statement. "I like it."
"Thanks, I like the fact that you're terrifying" I said jokingly. She smirked at me, humour covering her face.
"I am, aren't I?" she said, a dark look in her eyes. I looked away from her and saw our waiter approaching with our food. I smiled gratefully and started eating, avoiding Jade's scary, green eyes.
I never really understood the term 'opposites attract' until now. Jade was the darkest person I'd met, talking about all the people she's tortured in her lifetime. Meanwhile I'm a very happy person, my friends even used to call me little miss sunshine. If somebody told me on my first day that Jade and I would be sat in Nozu eating sushi together and laughing about embarrassing things Robbie Shapiro had done, I'd probably have got them medically tested.
But I really was spending my Friday night eating sushi with Jade, and I was loving it.
Until Chad and Alan came along.
"Hey ladies!" we heard male voices say. We looked up to see two guys walking towards us. One had light brown hair and was wearing a blue shirt and the other had darker hair and was wearing a grey shirt.
"Hi!" I said cheerily as they sat down on either side of us.
"Can we help you?" Jade asked, a hard tone to her voice.
"Chad are you hungry?" the dark haired boy asked.
"I sure am Alan" the light haired boy replied.
"Well, you can order some sushi!" I said, cheerily.
"We're not hungry for sushi" Alan said.
"We're hungry for a…" Chad began.
"BABE SANDWICH!" they yelled simultaneously, pushing me and Jade against each other and squishing themselves on us.
"Umm, we want to hang out alone" I said, not wanting to hurt their feelings.
"But we are alone" Chad said.
"Just the four of us" Alan added.
"B-DOINK!" they shouted, fist bumping.
"Oh my god" Jade murmured, eating some more of her sushi.
"Whoa!" Chad shouted, making me squeal and throw my sushi in the air.
"What? What is it?!" I panicked.
"Looks like you've got a Chad infection" he replied.
"Ain't no cure for a Chad infection" Alan yelled.
"Guess you're stuck with me" Chad said, putting his arm around me. I shrugged it off, suddenly feeling really uncomfortable.
"Are you ticklish?" Alan said to Jade.
"What?" she spat.
"Are you ticklish?" he said, tickling her chin. "Are you? Are you? Are you ticklish? Are y-ooohhh" he moaned and fell to the floor and Jade elbowed him in the gut. I giggled but stopped when Chad lifted my head with his finger.
"You have a cute laugh" he said.
"Umm, thanks" I said, trying to avoid his eyes and the way he was looking at me. They were distracted by the man in charge of karaoke announcing a two minute break.
"Ooh, can we do karaoke?" I asked Jade excitedly.
"No" she said in a monotone.
"Pleeeaaaaassseeeee" I begged, using my cute puppy face. It worked on my dad. And Robbie. Hopefully it would work on Jade too.
"No" she repeated, taking a swig of her coffee.
I huffed and put my chin in my hand.
"I'll sing with you" I heard Chad say.
"No thanks" I said nervously.
"No, I want to hear you sing" Alan said to Jade.
"Yeah, lets hear a little songy song action!" Chad said.
"Yeah, a songy song!" Alan agreed.
"They want to hear a little songy song action" Jade said, looking at me. I looked back at her, not understanding what she was trying to get at. She continued to stare at me.
"What?" I asked a little confused.
"Wait here!" she snapped, before heading over to the karaoke man.
"So, what's your name?" Chad said looking at me.
"My name's Cat" I said, smiling.
"Oooh, a little pussy Cat. Meow!" he yelled, baring his teeth. I squealed and leaned away from him. I really didn't like this guy.
All of a sudden I heard the tune from one of my favourite songs coming out of the speakers. As the intro was playing, Jade walked over to us and handed me a microphone, indicating that I should start singing.
(AN: Cat's singing in italics, Jade's singing in bold, Both in bold italics)
"Why am I always hit on by the boys I never like,
I can always see them coming from the left and from the right,
I don't want to be a priss, I'm just trying to be polite,
But it always seems to bite me in the-
Ask me for my number, yeah you put me on the spot,
You think that we should hook up but I think that we should NOT,
You had me at hello then you opened up your mouth
And that is when it started going south, OH"
When we sung that line we stood up and I stood next to Chad's seat and Jade next to Alan's.
"Get your hands off my hips,
'fore I punch you in the lips,
Stop you staring at my-
HEY"
Jade swung her hips at Alan.
"Take a hint, take a hint,
No you can't buy me a drink,
Let me tell you what I think,
I think you could use a mint,
Take a hint, take a hint,
t-take a hint, take a hint"
I began to dance around the restauraunt as I sang.
"I guess you still don't get it so lets take it from the top"
I turned around to see Jade stood on the bar, walking along it as she sang.
"You asked me what my sign is and I told you it was STOP,
And if I had a dime for every name that you just dropped,
You'd be here and I'd be on a yacht, OH,
Get your hands off my hips,
'fore I punch you in the lips,
Stop you staring at my-
HEY"
As Jade said hey, she jumped down from the table, landing in front of a very scared looking waiter.
"Take a hint, take a hint,
No you can't buy me a drink,
Let me tell you what I think,
I think you could use a mint,
Take a hint, take a hint,
t-take a hint, take a hint"
Whilst the music played after the chorus, we headed round to the other side of the bar, standing opposite Chad and Alan.
"What about no don't you get,
So go and tell your friend,
I'm not really interested,
It's about time that you're leavin,
I'm going to count to three and,
Open my eyes and,
You'll be gone"
The boys stood up to leave out the door but we stood in front of them so they couldn't get away. We started walking forwards and the only option they had was to walk backwards.
"One,
Get your hands off my,
Two,
Or I'll punch you in the,
Three,
Stop your staring at my,
HEY"
Jade grabbed Alan's collar and pulled his face close to hers whilst I smirked at Chad.
"Take a hint, take a hint,
I am not your missing link,
Let me tell you what I think,
I think you could use a mint,
Take a hint, take a hint,
Take a hint, take a hint,
Woaaaaaaaaaa-oooo,
Get your ha-"
I stopped singing. Because stood in the corner of the room were Robbie, Beck and Rex. All with looks of amusement on their faces. I stood there in shock but Jade carried on singing, walking towards Beck.
"hands off my hips,
'fore I punch you in the lips,
Stop you staring at my,
HEY"
She grabbed the front of Beck's shirt.
"Take a hint, take a hint,
t-take a hint, take a hint."
She then pulled Beck towards her and kissed him full on the mouth. He was in shock, but melted into the kiss pretty quickly, wrapping his arms around her waist whilst she wrapped her arm holding the microphone around his neck, her other hand still on his chest. I smiled at them then remembered why he was here. I looked around but I couldn't see Robbie anywhere. I took my microphone back to the karaoke station and went to ask Jade if she'd seen Robbie but she was busy with Beck. I huffed in frustration and went outside to look for him. When I got outside, it was really dark and I checked my phone to see that it was 10:20. I then used my phone as a light to see if I could see Robbie. I couldn't see him anywhere and I was about to turn around and go back inside when somebody wrapped one arm around my waist and one hand covered my mouth. I squealed in surprise and tensed up, fear coursing through my body. The arm wrapped around my waist lifted me up so I was dangling about an inch off the ground, and I could feel someone's head next to mine.
"Didn't anyone ever tell you it's dangerous for little girls to be out in the dark on their own" a voice whispered and I recognised who it was straight away. I relaxed but then felt angry. He pulled his hand away and it joined his other around my waist, holding me up.
"You scared me" I huffed, pouting.
"Oh, I'm sorry baby" he said, putting me down and spinning me round so he could hug me properly. I leaned into his chest, sighing with a smile on my face.
"Why are you out here?" I asked and I felt him tense up.
"Just…sorting something out" he replied. "Come on, lets go back inside." He tried to pull me in but I pulled on his wrist and put my hand on his face, locking my eyes on his.
"What's going on?" I said softly.
"I was there for the whole song" he said, jaw tense.
"You were?" I asked, confused.
"Yeah, we were in the corner so you couldn't see us. Those guys were all over you so I decided to teach them a lesson" he said, jaw even tenser.
"What did you do?!" I demanded.
"Me and Rex taught them not to mess with me or my girl. They had the nerve to say that you were flirting back" he said, looking at me with hard eyes.
"I wasn't flirting!" I cried. "I was just being kind but I asked them to leave pretty much straight away!" I defended myself. "Besides, I'm not the one in the wrong here! Did you beat them up?!" I asked. He didn't answer my question vocally but he avoided my gaze with a guilty look on his face, and that's all the words I needed.
"Robbie! You can't just beat guys up! What if you get in trouble for this and-" he cut me off by crashing his lips into mine and kissing me, hard. He pushed me up against the stone wall and I winced at the pain that shot through my back but he soon soothed it with his warm touch all over me.
"He can't touch what's mine" he growled and made a beeline for my neck. My legs almost gave out under me and all terror was replaced with ecstasy because of what he was doing to me. He left kisses all up one side of my neck then moved to the other side. I let out a small gasp when he nipped me, but moaned when he began sucking it to soothe the pain. I could feel him smirk against my mouth and I suddenly realised this was his way of avoiding his feelings. I ran my hands through his curly hair and then pulled his head up so his face was in front of mine.
"I am with you. I don't like any other guys and I don't flirt with other people. I chose you" I said, then kissed him. He kissed back and it was all passion and feelings and after a minute we pulled back, out of breath, leaning our foreheads against each other.
AN: Here it is! I figured Cat and Jade would have to sing together at some point so why not now?! Cade and Bade in this chapter people, and if you think that Jade's kiss was a bit random, she did it because Cat had got her thinking with what she said about Robbie making her heart flutter and Beck obviously liking Jade and such. This episode is very obviously based on Tori and Jade's playdate, same dialogue (some is different) and song.
Disclaimer: I don't own Victorious, Tori and Jade's Playdate, Cat, Robbie, Rex, Beck, Jade, Chad or Alan. Or Take a Hint. Boo.

Now a lot of you guys have been asking about college and stuff and I live in England so my college is different to American colleges. Mine is more like High school/sixth form, except you only do courses you choose and you don't have to go if you don't want to (: But it is still a lot of work but it's also a lot of fun and I hope everyone else who is at college is having fun as well (:
Thanks to SideSpitter for favouriting and following this story.
And finally I'd like to say RIP to Debra McCurdy. Thank you for giving us Jennette, she is a truly amazing person. She's being so strong right now and I have so much respect for her. My best wishes and condolences to Jennette and her family.
Until next time, mwah!
