Happy The Ides of March my dear readers! Which would made it the mid of the month and in the Roman calendar, corresponding to 15 March.

You may be wondering, why am I posting a chapter on this particular day? Well "fun fact", before the year 44 BC it was a day dedicated to settling debts but then on that year it became notorious as the date of the assassination of Julius Caesar, which made the Ides of March a turning point in Roman history.

I know neither Jade or Tori are from Rome but I like to think from what we know of our favorite scary gal, this is a possible date she would know about and enjoy because she's quite dark.

Anyway on a final note, this is a sequel to the 22th chapter as Jade is seeking revenge for the previous "game night" Tori put her though, so as always do read and enjoy!


"Oh Vega!" Jade sang evilly. "Come to the kitchen! I have a surprise for you!"

Tori stopped combing her hair, she knew that tone, it was only used when Jade had a very painful retribution in mind; this of course made Tori feel a mixture of fear and giddiness.

"Oh boy, this should be fun."

The Latina of course would never tell her spouse she sometimes looks forward to her revenge schemes, it would be a blow to her ego is she knew that Tori no longer saw her vengeful side as scary but endearing at times.

"I guess I grown partly immune to her dark side." Tori thought. "Good thing too, I hate to imagine the day when Jade doesn't scare me at all, it would drive the excitement out of our marriage."

"VEGA! GET YOUR ASS IN HERE!"

"Oh chiz!" Tori jumped as she puts a hand over her heart, she could actually hear it going faster by the minute and this made the brunette smile lovingly. "Ah she can still scare me… Good."

The Latina walked out of their bedroom and walked towards the kitchen, where she saw her spouse with a very small, very subtle smirk on her face, something most people wouldn't notice… But evidently Tori wasn't most people.

"Ah so she is planning something." Tori thought excitedly "Let the game begin!"

Jade noticed that Tori reluctantly walked to the kitchen table, in her eyes this was a good sign, it meant her wife knew something was afoot she just didn't know what."

"I still got it!" Jade thought smugly. "Vengeance is mine, Vega!"

The former Goth had all her cards on the table, quite literally as she had three very real, very sharp knives in front of her, something the pop star noticed as she gulped, even putting her hands over her neck as if she was protecting it.

"Don't exaggerate Tor." Jade said with an eye roll. "I'm not going to slit your throat, if I really wanted you dead I would have buried you alive in the desert years ago."

I know you would have." Tori replied. "Doesn't exactly gives me much confidence though when I see my wife who has a love for pointy things showing me three very sharp knives and doesn't exactly tell me why."

"If I told you why then it wouldn't be a surprise now would it?"

"Can't argue with that logic." Tori said. "So what is this about? Wait… You're not showing me these knifes as some type of sex game? I told you that's not happening ever again Jade! Last time we tried something like that I couldn't sit right for like a week!"

"No, Vega!" Jade denied quickly. "Believe me, I learned my lesson, as much as I love pain, I don't enjoy yours… Anymore, no what we're going to do today is play a little game."

"A game?" Tori questioned with a dubious tone. "Part of me wants to say yay and clap excitedly but the more rational side of me tells me we're not going to play just any game if you have knifes right in front of me, we're not going to play a real version of clue that ends with the phrase and she killed her wife in the kitchen with three…"

"For the last time Vega, I'm NOT going to kill you!" Jade snarled. "As long as you don't betray me."

"Say what now?"

"Nevermind!" The Thespian said. "So here's the gist of the game, today happens to be a very significant day in history, you can't use your phone to look up the answer and these knives are your only clue."

"Ok and what happens if I get the answer right?"

"Then I'll see that new Minions movie you want to see with you and I promise I won't complain." Jade said. "But if you don't know then we'll have to watch the house of a billion corpses."

"Are you serious?!" Tori's jaw dropped.

"As a stabbing, Vega."

"How many tries to I get?"

"Fifteen." Jade replied "And remember, the knifes are the only clues you'll get or you can kiss me three times and get three other clues."

"I have the feeling I'll be needing those kisses." Tori chuckled. "Oh I'm game!"

"Remember Vega, you only get fifteen tries." Jade said "So think of your answers carefully."

"Is it Annoy Squidward day?"

"What the Fuck?!" Jade bellowed. "Vega what the hell does Squidward have to do with knives?!"

"Nothing, I just wanted to see your face when I said that."

Jade's eye twitches uncontrollably while her spouse only smiles teasingly back at her.

"I expected that answer from Cat, not you Vega!" Jade Snarled. "Now take it seriously! You have fourteen attempts now!

"Is it the day Invader Zim got the green light?"

"No Vega!" Jade said. "Wait… Now that I think of it I don't know when that happened."

The Thespian began pondering and was about to look the answer on her phone before she stopped mid away and glared at her spouse who this time gazed back innocently.

"Et tu Vega?"

"Huh?"

"It mean, you too, Vega." Jade hissed. "You're the only other person to ever use my love of Invader Zim against me."

"Really who was the first?"

"It was… Oh nice try Vega but you're not getting out of this game!" The Thespian growled dangerously. "Now enough distractions! Get to it, you now have thirteen tries! So get to it! And just to make it clear, this day has nothing to do with animation in any way!"

Tori shrugged as she gave her next answer some thought, she then remembered that supposedly her only clues were the knife, so she looked them closer and even turned them around, noticing that there was the letter C and the numbers 2 and 3 on each of the knifes.

What made this even more disturbing was the fact that the numbers and letter were red which Tori hoped it was paint and not her wife's own blood, she wanted to ask for decided not to as she wasn't sure she wanted to know the answer.

"Ok I see you went the extra mile with the clues." Tori said uneasily. "So I gotta ask. Did someone get murdered this day?"

"Ah, Ah, Ah." Jade said teasingly. "You want clues? That will cost you one kiss and remember, you only get three of those."

Tori rolled her eyes but still played along. "Fine."

She got up and gave her wife a passionate kiss.

"Well?"

Jade only smiled goofily.

"JADE!"

"Huh? Oh right…" She coughed embarrassed. "Yes Vega, someone got assassinated today."

"Should have figured." Tori said unimpressed. "Only you would make a game out someone's life ending, guess I shouldn't be surprised, you do love smelling the fumes of the dead after all."

"Ok then, guess now the question here is who died today." Tori muttered. "It couldn't have been a recent death since you said this is a historical event."

"Ah so you do have a working head." Jade mocked. "Let's see if you can use it to get the answer."

"Uh let's see.. Porfirio Diaz?"

"No Vega!" Jade snapped. "He died of old age, not assassinated! You should know that considering he was a dictator everyone in Mexico wanted dead!"

"Hey, you don't have to be a gank about it!"

"I think you know that's not true."

"Ok fine, I wanna use my second clue then." Tori said. "Was this guy assassinated with knives?"

"Kiss first, answer second."

The Thespian received the second kiss from her spouse.

"Yes!"

"Ok let's see "Blackbeard?"

"Nope."

"Stalin?"

"Nope."

"Our neighbor Karen by you?"

"We're not playing clue, Vega!"

"We kind of are, baby."

Jade's eyes narrowed dangerously and Tori swore she could see them turn from green to red.


After several wrong answers Tori wasn't getting frustrated, which of course made Jade feel very frustrated that her wife wasn't losing her patience, if anything she seemed to be having fun.

"You only have one more tries Vega." Jade growled "Choose wisely."

"Can I still have my last kiss and clue?"

"If you must."

"My, someone's in a foul mood." Tori said before getting up one last time and giving her spouse the third kiss of the night.

"Ok did this guy's name started with a C?" Tori questioned "And I'm guessing he was stabbed 23 times?"

"YES!" Jade yells out annoyed. "You're getting close, Vega!"

"Ok… Boy there are still a lot of names to think about." Tori said. "Boy, history has a bunch of tyrants."

"Just pick a random name from your head!" Jade said evenly. "You're not going to get it right."

"Ok then I pick… Julius Caesar!"

"HA! Vega! You got it… Right…." Jade's tone went from smug to defeated in under a second. "That's not possible! Tori how did you know the answer!"

"You gave it to me baby." Tori said. "The knifes and the numbers didn't make sense at first but then I remembered you asked a very specific question Et tu? Only one person in history made that question as it was being assimilated then I remember last year ON THIS EXACT DAY that you took me to a play appropriately named Julius Caesar by Shakespeare and then the knifes eventually made me think of Brutus who said in the second act who said Lets carve him as a dish fit for the Gods, I remember that because you couldn't stop laughing, saying it reminded you of the time I made a pumpkin cemetery."

"So wait… Are you telling me you had the answer all along, Vega?"

"Not the entire time." Tori admitted. "Maybe around my 7th wrong answer."

"But if that's the case then why give me the correct answer until just now?!"

"I was having too much." Tori shrugged. "I rarely get to get you to myself these days, either you have to work or I come home late and we rarely get to spend as much time as we would otherwise like to enjoy."

The Latina then got from her seat and gave Jade a kiss on the cheek.

"I know you were trying to annoy me Jade and aside the fact that I disturbingly had to guess who died on this day more than two thousand years ago, it was a pretty fun evening… You're getting sloppy baby but hey, guess this means we'll get to see the minions tomorrow."


The Thespian could only angrily scream "VEGA!", it was so loud that it was heard out of their home, the neighborhood, and finally of the universe as her screams continue to be heard. We arrive where the Massive and its ships fly through space. A few of them explode from the sound of her screaming, and then we see the almighty Tallest are inside their flag ship just about ready to be assassinated by a communicator's officer, where the Thespian's of the scream finally stops, making them look up.

"What the shmoop was that?!" Tallest Red said.

"I don't know but it sounded scary!"

"Not as scary as the Florpus was." The Comms. Officer said with mad eyes before he began stabbing the Tallest with knives meant to incapacitate his leaders.

"Et tu?" Purple asked "Now this guy is trying to kill us too?"


Meanwhile back on Earth Tori jokingly said. "Scream louder baby, I think there are people in Australia that didn't hear you."

"I'll get you for this Vega, I'm still going to get even for what you did last year!"

"Can't wait."

"Wipe that smile of your face or else it's the couch for you!"

"You mean this smile?"

Later that night the Latina was trying to get comfortable on the couch, she of course was still smiling.

"Totally worth it."


I know I made it seem like Invader Zim is a show in the Victorious universe but I decided to make it real as well and simply have Zim disguised himself as Jhonen Vasquez to make money as I did in a previous crossover, Jade of course doesn't know that.

For those of you who saw the IZ movie "Enter the Florpus" would know, the Communications Officer got very annoyed with the Tallest and their antics since Red and Purple are obviously tyrants, it just seemed fitting to have this Irken guy pull a Brutus on them.

For those who don't know Brutus was Caesar's friend but joined in the plot to kill him.

Many thanks to Quitting Time for the help, even the name of the chapter was a suggestion as it was in the play Jade and Tori saw a year prior, heh.

What do guys thought of this? Constructive criticism is always appreciated.
