The idea of ScottyBgood's idea for the play Sikowitz is planning is seen, and possibly the idea that's used for the play. Also, this chapter takes place at the Vega house with everyone trying to come up with ideas for the play.
To Invader Johnny, you're right and wrong about Shelby from your review. You'll see what I mean.
Slight spoiler: Someone other than Tori, Trina, and Jade find out about Shelby, and I hope it's a shock about not only who finds out, but how they react. I won't give any hints about who it is, hopefully it'll be a surprise about how it is.
Starting next chapter of the chapter after, I haven't decided yet, we'll start to see the 'iCarly' characters again, hopefully enough for this to be considered a crossover, and not a 'VicTORious' fic with one 'iCarly' character.
Chapters finally get longer than the others, so for those hoping for longer chapters, here you go. I hope this is better.
I don't remember if Beck and Jade are still together at this point, so if anyone remembers, can you please tell me? I tried not to show them in a relationship in this fic because I wasn't sure.
Disclaimer: I don't own 'VicTORious'. 'iCarly', or any characters.
No POV
"So, who has any ideas?" Tori asks as everyone takes seats on the two couches. André, Cat, and Tori, take the couch closest to the door, while Jade, Beck, and Robbie take the other, Tori and Jade in the end parts in the middle.
"Ooh, ooh. I do! I do!" Cat says, bouncing from the middle of the couch. "How about us girls are fairy princesses, yeah, yeah?" She says, looking between everyone with a wide smile. "And the boys are fairy princes." She continues, much to the chagrin of the others.
"Finish that sentence and you're hair is red for a different reason other than your hair dye." Jade warns in a dark tone.
"Aw, phooey." Cat says with a pout. "How about the guys are fairy princesses and we're..."
"NO!" Jade yells, cutting off the redhead, earning a frightened squeak from the girl. "And that counts as your second, so no more." She warns, leaning back. "Next." She says, looking at nothing.
"Well, how about us guys are in a band and you girls are a rival band?" André starts, staring at the others.
"No." Jade says, staring at him with a deadpan expression. "Nothing music related. A musical would take too much time, and I won't do a high school musical." She says, not realizing what she said.
"Ooh! I love those movies! 'We're all in this together!' That's my favorite song from them." Cat says, singing the lyric with a giggle.
"Cat. One more word, and I find the duct tape." Jade warns.
"Would it kill you to be nice for more than a millisecond?" Tori asks the Goth, comforting the redhead.
"Maybe. I'm not taking that chance though." Jade says with a smirk to the half-Latina.
"Shouldn't we be writing down our ideas? Just because Jade says no to them, doesn't mean anything. We still need to turn them in to Sikowitz." Beck says, ignoring the glare Jade sends him.
"I got it." Robbie says, taking out his huge PearPad, ignoring the groans from the others. "Okay, so Cat had fairy princess girls, then guys." He says to himself, typing the ideas down.
"What's your second idea?" Tori asks her best friend as Robbie narrates what he's typing.
"Uh, well." He says with a blush, looking down. "How about a girl falls in love with an aspiring musician, giving him the dedication and inspiration to write an amazing album?" He asks as Robbie copies down what he says.
"None of us want to date you, even if it's a role." Jade says with a smirk.
"What crawled up your butt and died?" André mumbles, looking away from the Goth.
"What was that?" Jade asks him, glaring.
"Nothing! I have to go to the bathroom." André says quickly, heading to the bathroom by the garage.
"You just made André pee himself, and that was really rude you know? He's a really nice guy." Tori says, giving Jade a disapproving look.
"Sorry, didn't mean to insult your boyfriend." Jade says with a smirk, looking at Tori with an innocent smile.
"He's not my boyfriend." Tori says with a sigh. "Anyway, that's four ideas down, and eight to go. Who's next?" She asks, changing the subject.
"How about we're all ventriloquist dummies, and Rex is our ventriloquist?" Robbie asks with a hopeful look.
"No." Everyone says, Jade in a way that makes Robbie almost pee himself.
"If you pee, you're cleaning it up and telling my parents." Tori warns, staring at Robbie with slight disgust in her eyes.
"Okay." Robbie says quickly as André rejoins the others.
-Time Skip-
"Kill me now." Jade groans out, two hours after they started coming up with ideas, the ideas Robbie tried to save deleted and his PearPad tossed in Jade's messenger bag.
"Aww, I don't wanna. You're my bestest friend, Jadey." Cat says with a pout.
"NEVER CALL ME THAT!" Jade yells, the redhead again letting out a frightful squeak.
"GOTTA PEE GOTTA PEE GOTTA PEE!" Cat yells, running up the stairs.
"At least she didn't pee on the couch. She's wearing a dress again today, that'd cause a mess because nothing to keep it in." André says with a small laugh, shaking his head as he watches the small redhead.
Cat POV
"How'd you get up here and change your clothes so fast?" I ask Tori as I near the bathroom, her hair now straight and she's now wearing workout pants and a sports bra instead of her jeans and spaghetti strap shirt.
"Uh, who are you?" Tori asks, staring at me in confusement, the same look my brother has when they give him his 'special' medication.
"It's me, Cat. You don't remember?" I ask her, starting to cry. My bestest friend forgot about me!
"Uh, excuse me a moment, Cat. Okay?" Tori asks, awkwardly patting my shoulder as she heads into a room across from hers. We've done 'The Funny Nugget Show' enough times for me to remember where her room is.
I think.
A minute later, Tori comes out of the room, pocketing her phone, as footsteps come up the stairs behind me.
"What's the probl..." I hear from behind me. Turning around, I see Tori. Again. And back in her clothes from school. "Oh crap." She says, staring at me.
No POV
"I thought you said you were going to make sure no one comes up here?" Shelby asks Tori, staring at the redhead. "Now she's sad because she thought you forgot about her because she saw me when I was about to grab my PearPod from your room." She says, stepping around Cat to talk to her sister.
"I'm sorry. I thought you would stay in your room, or that Cat would completely miss you." Tori admits, looking at Cat. "Grab your PearPod and head to your room, okay?" She tells her sister. "I'll talk to Cat."
"Okay. I trust you, Robin." Shelby says, using one of their many nicknames, heading into Tori's room.
"Come on Cat. Let's talk in private." Tori says as Shelby heads back into her room. "Wait, don't you have to go to the bathroom first?" She asks before stopping at her door.
"Back in a bit." Cat says, quickly heading into the bathroom and closing the door behind her.
"Ay, dios mio." Tori says when she hears the bathroom door lock. "We can trust her to keep the secret, right?" She asks herself, standing in the doorway. "I hope." She says, leaning against the door frame.
A few minutes later, after the toilet flushes and the faucet is hear, the door opens, revealing Cat using a washrag to dry her hands. "Why are there two of you?" Cat asks, heading over to Tori.
"I'll tell you, but you have to promise not to tell anyone, not even my mom, dad, or Trina. Okay? Please?" Tori begs, the trademark puppy dog eyes coming into play, hope that they'll work on someone who pulls them off easier than breathing.
"I promise." Cat says in a more serious tone than anyone, excluding Jade, thought she had. "Who all, outside of your family, know that you're a twin? I mean, the face that we, your closest friends, have no idea, tells me something." She says, sitting on Tori's light purple bedspread.
"Other than mom, dad, Trina, and our immediate family, just Jade." Tori admits, looking down in shame. "Shelby wanted to keep it a secret because of how famous she is in the CFC. She was afraid, and we all agreed, that anyone knowing who she really is could potentially cause problems for her and us." Tori starts, staring at Cat, trying to figure out not only how to describe it, but how Cat sounds so different than usual.
"Wait, so Shelby Marx, youngest CFC female champion, is your identical twin sister? Not just someone who looks eerily loke you?" Cat asks, staring at Tori.
"Yep. She took our mom's maiden name when she started training, just in case she made it big." Tori answers, still in slight shock. "She visits every chance she can, and she still has her own room, which is where you saw her go into earlier." She explains, looking at Cat. "You will keep this to yourself, right? We don't want anyone knowing. Not yet anyway." She pleads, facing Cat fully.
"I promise. I'm not as scatterbrained as I lead people to believe. You're not the only one with a secret." Cat says, mirroring Tori. "Like you, only Jade and my family know the truth. Keep my secret, I'll keep yours and your families. Deal?" She asks, holding her right hand our for a hand shake.
"Deal." Tori says, accepting the handshake and pumping twice. "How does Jade know?" She asks, staring at Cat.
"We've known each other since we were in second grade." Cat points out, smiling a bit.
"Understandable." Tori says with a nod of her head in agreement.
"Two questions for me." Cat says, staring at Tori. When Tori nods, she continues. "First, what did you tell the others about coming up here? And second, how did Jade find out about Shelby?" She asks, pulling her second leg up and sitting cross-legged on the bed.
"First, I told them Trina texted, when in reality it was Shelby, that she needed me to find something in her room. And instead of arguing, I went along with it to prevent Trina from causing problems or something in the very near future." Tori says, causing herself and Cat to laugh. "Second, when she was looking through my medical records, she saw that I had a twin. She did her research, as she so claimed, and found out who it was." She admits, sighing.
"And she hasn't told anyone yet?" Cat asks, surprised, knowing full well Jade would normally waste no time in using info like that against someone.
"I think it's because she knows Shelby could break her in half without thinking, and as tough as Jade is, she can't win against someone who beat up someone who's taken someone down who's muscles are bigger than Andre's head in seconds." Tori says, a half-smirk on her face.
"True. Shelby did take that Russian bodybuilder down in less than five minutes." Cat says with a nod.
"So, can I trust you to keep the secret? You won't tell anyone about it?" Tori asks, her tone changing.
"Of course. I told you already. You can trust me to keep your secret, just like I trust you to keep mine." Cat says, rubbing Tori's leg soothingly. "We should go before anyone starts looking for us." She says, going back to the façade she uses around others.
"Agreed." Tori says, standing up from her bed.
"Should I stay hidden longer?" Shelby asks from the door frame as Tori and Cat get up to leave.
"It'd be safe if you do." Tori says, shyly, as she looks at her twin.
"Wow, even your cheekbones are identical." Cat notes, poking Shelby's cheeks the way Kenan did during the party.
"Okay, let's go Cat." Tori says with a smile, dragging Cat away from Shelby, the fighter slightly confused by the redhead's actions. "When everyone leaves, I'll let you know. See you later sis." She says, waving to Shelby.
"See ya." Shelby says, walking into her room and closing the door.
"What took you so long?" André asks the two girls as they make their way to the couches.
"One time, my brother got lost in the mall's bathroom." Cat says, a small smile on her face. "He locked himself in the stall and couldn't get out until the security guards unlocked it from inside." She says with a giggle.
"Wait. How did he get himself locking inside the stall? Wouldn't he have just unlocked it himself?" André asks, staring at Cat with confusion on his face.
"He couldn't get off the seat. You see, they ran out of toilet paper and"
"We get it." Jade says, cutting off Cat. "Sikowitz called, he said we only had to come up with one idea each. We already came up with the ideas." She says, a smirk on her face.
"Even our ideas?" Tori asks as she takes her seat.
"You were taking too long." Jade says with a smirk.
"We were gone less than ten minutes." Tori says, staring at Jade. "How did you come up with twelve ideas in ten minutes when we couldn't come up with any since we got to my house?" She asks, looking at the others.
"Because we only came up with one and I told Sikowitz we weren't coming up with anymore because his lazy coconut loving ass couldn't." Jade says, leaning back.
"Language." Cat says with a gasp, staring at Jade with wide eyes.
"English." Jade says simply, smirking.
"Anyway." Tori says, intervening before an argument started. "What's the idea?" She asks, staring at Jade.
"Frank, the male lead, tries to romance Monica, the female lead, but gets hurt in an accident, so his sister, Francine, the female support, has to impersonate Frank and take Monica out on a date. The other main roles are the doctor, Dr. Henrikson, Frank's nurse, Nurse Marsh, and the waiter at the restaurant Monica and Francine go to for the date." Beck says, filling Tori and Cat in. "While Francine would be trying to get Monica back so Frank could give Monica the all-important good night kiss, while Monica is trying to get the kiss from Francine." He finishes.
"We recorded the plan and sent it to Sikowitz, who agreed. He said it's most likely the one he'll do, and we'll be the leads." André says, a cup of pink lemonade in hand. "I got thirsty." He explains when he sees the confused look from Tori.
"Is he doing an audition for who plays who?" Tori asks, looking back at the other three.
"Doubt it. He'll most likely ask us to do it." Beck explains, leaning over Jade a bit. "We agreed that I'll be Frank, Jade's Monica, Andre's Dr. Henrikson, and Robbie's the waiter at the restaurant. We haven't decided who's Francine or Nurse Marsh yet." He tells the half-Latina.
"Get off of me before I stab you." Jade tells Beck, who jerks back quickly. "Cat's the nurse." She says once Beck is off of her.
"You do know that would mean you and Tori would have to go on a date and potentially kiss, right?" André asks, staring at the Goth.
"Don't talk to me unless you want to learn about doctors first hand." Jade says, avoiding the question. "I'm leaving." She says standing up.
"But you're my ride." Cat says, staring at the Goth.
"Then grab your stuff so we can leave." Jade says, walking to the door without looking back.
"Kay kay!" Cat says, jumping up and grabbing her bag. "Bye!" She calls, running after the Goth.
"I'd say that was weird, but it's Jade and Cat, so it's really not." André says as the others agree.
That's the end of this chapter. Sorry if Sikowitz accepting the new idea so quickly was hard to believe. I figured it'd be believable because of how Sikowitz is, especially with the gang.
Thank you to ScottyBGood for the idea. Your idea about what Jade discovers in Tori's room during 'The Wood' will be seen in a later chapter.
Thank you for reading, and I look forward to your reviews.
Blessed Be.
