THANKS SO MUCH for the favorites, reviews, and alerts! You guys are amazing. 4 alerts already?! See bottom A/N for review replies from now on.
Hey guys! I'm SO sorry about not updating. I worked on this last Wednesday and Thursday, but then my hamster died and my computer was working really slowly and had to get fixed, which took like 10 hours, and then I got a new hamster and I still had a little to write for my story Remember Me, which I wanted to finish since I had the time... That wasn't exactly in order, but you get the gist. It was kind of a busy weekend for me, and I couldn't type it up! This chapter ending really annoyed me, 'cause I wrote it once then I hated it so I had to rewrite it. I'm not completely happy with it, but oh well. This is exactly 1050 words, not including my A/Ns.
Disclaimer: I don't own Victorious or anything mentioned.
"Guys, can you stay here for a minute? I want to talk to you guys about something." Tori asked before school. André and Cat said "Yes." in unison. "Yupperooni!" Robbie replied, moving closer to her. Beck nodded while Jade automatically said no, although she stayed anyway, one of Beck's hands firmly on her shoulder.
Sinjin came up to them, having heard Tori's request. "What are we gonna be talking about?" He said creepily while staring at a certain part of Tori, who was shifting behind André, at a loss for words.
"Sinjin." Jade said warningly, glaring at him.
"Yes, my dear?" Sinjin asked.
"Walk away." Sinjin started to back away slowly. "Faster." Jade warned. Sinjin turned around and ran straight into the door, falling to the ground unconscious. Robbie moved to shake him, but Jade's voice stopped him. "Just leave him there, he'll wake up." After moving closer and leaning over him, she looked a bit disturbed. "..Probably."
"What did you want Tori?" Cat asked, looking around. "Are you looking to buy some of my pajelehoochoos?"
"Cat!" Tori whined. "I don't want to buy any pajelehoochoos. I wanted to talk about…" She paused, trying to make the moment suspenseful.
"You do know that some of us don't have a free period after this, right?" Beck reminded, urging her on.
"..So anyway, yesterday in class, staring at Sikowitz's balding head-" She was interrupted by Sikowitz sticking his head out from Lane's office and yelling, "My head isn't bald! It's just malnourished." before grabbing a coconut and slamming the door shut, murmuring of colorful visions.
"ANYWAY, I was thinking about how pathetic he was sometimes, you know, 'cause he was talking about how his elderly raccoon is learning how to ride a bike, and I realized we are too." Tori said in a rush, eager not to get interrupted again.
"What, learning how to ride a bike?" André asked, furrowing his eyebrows.
"No!" Tori exclaimed, waving her hands around exasperatedly. "Being-" At that moment, one of her hands whacked Robbie and he cried out, removing his glasses and rubbing his eye exaggeratedly. The gang crowded around him, Cat trying to examine his eye, while the others, even Jade, looked worried.
"STOP interrupting me!" Tori yelled, glaring at Robbie, who shrank back.
"Hey, it's not my fault you hit me!" He shouted back, moving forward quickly. Cat, who had been leaning over him, got whacked and she fell to the ground facefirst.
"Really?" Beck complained, dragging Robbie over to the nurse. "André, pick Cat up. Let's move it people! My math teacher does NOT like it when we're late. Jade, don't even think of chopping off some of Robbie's hair." Jade had gotten her scissors out and was trailing behind Robbie.
"But I wanted to use it when we buried Rex! Then a part of Robbie would literally be buried with him!"
"Wait, what?" Robbie asked. "I didn't agree to burying Rex!" Cat chose that moment to wake up.
"So we aren't burying Rex?" She asked, frowning. "But then I made that straw coffin with the words of Forever Baby all over it for nothing!" She wailed. Beck quickly put her down, not wanting to have her kick him or something while being dramatic.
"You made a coffin just for him? Even though he's insulted you and been rude to you?" Cat nodded. "But not for him, Robbie. I did it for you."
It was silent for a moment, Cat wiping her eyes, before Robbie finally gave in.
"Fine, we'll bury Rex." Robbie said reluctantly.
"Yay!" Cat exclaimed, jumping onto Andre's back. "Go horsey go!"
By the time they got to the nurse's office, they had planned to bury Rex that night and Cat seemed all better. They dropped Robbie off there before going to Sikowitz's class, as they had missed first period. He was talking about stunts and how to properly fall, land, and roll. "Where was this when I had to be a stunt double?" She asked Cat, who shrugged.
"Well, actually Beck was the stunt double. I remember 'cause of how he looked so cute in that purple dress!"
Tori huffed before turning back to the lesson, mainly focusing on the gang. First, she turned her head to look at André next to her, who wasn't listening to Sikowitz at all and was wringing his hands and gazing around the class as well. Jade looked tired, her head resting on Beck's shoulder. Beck looked too alert, seemingly ready for anything. He was listening with rapt attention, but also looking around suspiciously. After a few minutes Cat seemed to let her guard down and slumped in her seat, a sad look about her face. Robbie finally snuck back, nobody noticing him enter, and Tori pinpointed what was off about him. Robbie felt guilty, letting it show plainly on his face after putting his hand around Cat's shoulder. Cat smiled briefly, wiping her eye. She wasn't close enough to see if Cat had been crying, but Tori felt bad for her all the same. When it was finally over, she borrowed a whistle that she had seen on a desk and whistled. Rubbing their ears, her friends gathered around her.
"As I was trying to say about an hour ago, we've been acting pretty pathetic after the whole Scissoring House debacle." She was interrupted as Jade snorted. "Debacle? Really, Tori?" Jade buried her face in Beck's arm, still laughing. Tori flushed but ignored her, trying to continue.
"Just because we got stuck in a big, scary house for a night and some freakish dolls tried to trap us doesn't mean we should be paranoid. We act like we deserve others sympathy and special treatment just because we got into yet another wacky situation. I know I've been scared to go into an empty, dark, house, again, and I just think we should all get over our fears and concerns. Let's just put all of this behind us, okay?" Tori looked around at the group expectantly. "I'm so glad everything's back to normal. So let's keep it that way."
So pretty much all that happened was that Tori kept getting interrupted while convincing the gang that they should move on from it, which I think they would kind of dwell on. I'm not that happy with it, but it's definitely better than before! Also, we set a setting- the graveyard...;) Something's gonna happen there... Now for review replies!
