As I mentioned last chapter, this one takes place during 'iFight Shelby Marx'. This one takes place before the end of the episode, just before Shelby comes out for the 'iCarly' segment at the end of the episode.
To readerluver128, to answer your question from your review; no, this will not have a love triangle. Shelby will not be a potential girlfriend for Jade, or a threat to Tori for Jade's affections. It's not a bad idea, but not one I'll be doing in this fic.
After this, I'll do a few chapters for 'VicTORious'. After a few chapters, I'll do the crossover episode 'iParty With VicTORious' for about two or three chapters, maybe a bit more. After that, I only plan on using the episodes as backgrounds, not the focus of the chapters. I want to treat the episodes as they actually happened, and the stuff in the chapters are just what we don't see, allowing us to see conversations between Tori and Shelby.
The only couple I have planned, other than Jori, is Seddie. I started to like the pairing after writing the one-shot, two counting the revised one, I did a short time ago. If anyone has any other couple ideas, let me know. The only one I think I want to keep single is Shelby. For some reason, I can't really see her with someone. Don't know why.
Also, if anyone has any good nicknames for Shelby and Tori to call each other, not counting Shel or Tor, let me know. I'm looking for something they both can use, while not referring to each other as 'Twin' or something like that. I might use it though, but I hope for something more original.
Disclaimer: Don't own any characters or places in this fic. The settings (California and Washington) aren't anyone's, at least to my knowledge, and the places there (The Shay apartment, Groovy Smoothie, Hollywood Arts, Nozu, etc.) Are I guess Dan Schneider's, same with the characters. I own the plot.
No POV
"Hey sis." Shelby says into her phone, waiting backstage until being called out for the 'iCarly' segment she was invited to after 'chatting' with Nevel after the fight the night before.
"Hey. How was the fight last night? You never called, and Trina and Dad won't tell me what happened." Tori says, a hint of worry in her voice as she asks.
"Technically, I lost." Shelby says with a laugh. "Carly grabbed my leg, preventing me from using my feet. You can't kick box without kicking." She says, laughing.
"Wait, you lost to an amateur? How is that possible? Didn't you try hitting her or something? I mean, you knocked that Russian chick's teeth out as easy as Trina does her make up." Tori says, stunned.
"Not a good enough angle. Her head was by my knee, I couldn't really get a good angle to to damage." Shelby says, listening to Carly, Sam, and Freddie get the episode of 'iCarly' prepped to air in a few minutes.
"Wow. Maybe that's why Trina and Dad haven't said anything." Tori says, thinking out loud. "What did you do with her after that? Especially after knocking Mom's mom to the ground?" She asks, confused.
"Well, to explain that, I have to ask. Are you familiar with some kid, about our age, named Nevel? Runs a website called 'nevelocity', I think?" Shelby asks, sitting on the small bench set for the guests.
"Kinda. I know it from a few episodes of 'iCarly'. They mentioned it on the site and some webcasts a few times. Why?" Tori asks, sitting on her bed as she lets some music play softly in the background.
"Well, apparently, he made a fake video using soundbites from past 'iCarly' shows and editing them to make it look like Sam and Carly planned it. They convinced me it was a trick, and got Nevel to admit it before we, chatted, after the fight." Shelby says, laughing lightly at the memory.
"What kind of chat?" Tori asks, cautious.
"You don't want to know. Just promise me Dad won't find out. If he finds out, I might not be able to fight anymore, and he and mom already don't want me fighting." Shelby says, leaning her head back against the surprisingly comfy wooden bench.
"Well, Mom isn't a fan. Dad loves it. He actually has a print out of when you knocked that Russian girl's teeth out on his desk." Tori says, laughing.
"That and doesn't he have a picture of me when I put Maya Feckner in the armbar?" Shelby asks, laughing with Tori. "Hey, I gotta go. I'll call you later. Make sure to watch 'iCarly' tonight." She says, her laughter fading.
"Uh, okay. Sure. Talk to you later. Bye Shel. Love you." Tori says, hanging up when Shelby says 'bye' and 'love you too'.
"Who was that?" Trina asks, walking into Tori's room when Tori hangs up.
"Shelby. She was telling me to watch 'iCarly' tonight." Tori answers, not bothered by Trina's usual ability to walk in without knocking this time, grabbing her laptop and opening it, moving her finger among the mouse pad to wake it up, opening her internet browser and pulling up 'iCarly' from her favorites.
"What are you doing?" Trina asks, sitting down on the bed beside Tori.
"Going to the 'iCarly' site, like Shel asked." Tori responds as if it's nothing.
"Oh. Dad just got back. He wants to know if you watch the highlights of Shelby's matches." Trina says, standing up.
"You know I don't like the fights. I've told you and Dad that over a hundred times. Now what's the real reason you came in? Dad knows not to ask me about anything fight related." Tori says as the beginning of 'iCarly' starts.
"I want to borrow your new sweater." Trina says, grabbing the blue sweater, still with the tag on it, which gets pulled out as Trina leaves the room, tossing the trash on the beside table.
"I haven't even worn it yet!" Tori yells as the tag falls to the table.
"Whatever. Have fun watching your crush." Trina taunts, closing the door as Sam and Carly introduce Shelby.
"Man I hate her sometimes." Tori says, paying attention to the webcast, smiling when she sees her twin sister.
I know I said the chapters would be longer, sorry this isn't too long. As I get in the flow of the story, the chapters will start to get longer, hopefully.
Thank you for reading. Hope you enjoyed.
Blessed Be.
