I'm back with another chapter. I'm glad y'all liked the first one. I'm surprised that this got so many favs and follows and I just want to say thank you.
Anyway, about this chapter it'll follow the rest of the bird episode and so on.
Quick reminder that chapters might not contain an episode. Also, Jade and Beck were never a thing at ALL! In this fic, I just felt like y'all should know that.
I don't own these properties.
"You failed…again."
Eyes widened in shock "What why I did everything that you-"
"Hey! Watch where you throw your props" one of the gardeners said as they threw the prop at Tori.
The bell rang signaling for their next class or lunch for some.
Walking to his locker he grabbed his textbook for science. Closing it he was greeted by Jade "what's up Jade?"
"The ceiling" she said with a sarcastic tone. "Very funny" Naruto said as he rolled his eyes
He then noticed that she had the Gears of War bag that she bought. "Hey, you have the bag that you bought got to say looks good on you." Naruto complemented
"Thanks. I wore it for you." Jade said. Giving him a peck on the cheek "so any thoughts on what we're going to do during detention?"
He just shrugged "my guess is that they're going to have us sit in the damn library all day long."
"Or?"
"Or we could just ditch detention like last time?" Jade finished his sentence, thinking about it he agreed " Yeah let's do that, plus if Sikowitz is the one watching us, he's going to be high from those coconuts that he always drinks"
Jade rang an imagery bell " Ding Ding Ding. Look who's correct."
Both laughed and joined hands "seriously how is Sikowitz still in this school?"
"I don't even know." She said as she leaned her head onto his shoulder while walking to lunch.
"Damn it! I failed again. What am I doing wrong?!" Tori angrily thought as she shoved books In her locker which now had a pink stripe on it for now.
Looking to her left she saw that Beck was leaning on the Lockers " you figure out how to customize it yet?"
Pointing to her locker "I did a pink stripe see." Tori responded as she closed her locker.
"Now come on, I don't want to be late for lunch." She spoke
Asphalt Café
"Can someone please just tell me what I'm doing wrong?" Tori asked
"No"
Groaning she put her head down on the table, André just gave her a pat on the back "It's okay girl, I'm sure you'll pass next time."
She picked her head up "you really think so?"
"Yeah, I know so." He said taking a bite of his burrito.
"How's it going to twinkle toes?" Naruto said as he and Jade sat down.
André just gave them a face of annoyance "can y'all please stop calling me that it's getting old already." Andrè said He then got up and left. Naruto laughed a little "Come on dude you and Rob brought that upon yourselves." André responded by giving him the bird
Tori noticed that he still had the band-aid on "how's your finger doing?" Jade heard what she said and decided to join.
"Finger? She saw his hand and grabbed it looking at him her eyes narrowed "did you fall off your skateboard again?" Gulping, he slightly looked at Tori and nodded "Yeah I was trying to do a stunt and I crashed and burned." He said confidently hoping that she would buy it.
Jade released a relaxed sigh "at least you didn't break anything." Getting up she gave him a small tight hug "see you later." She said as she walked off.
"Really crashed and burned." Tori said as she ate her salad. "Well, what should I say that I cut myself while cutting an apple?"
"Yes! But you lied to her" Tori Exclaimed
"Tori" He put his Hand on her shoulder " she knows me too well, plus you're the one who cut me." Naruto said
"But it was an accident!"
"Yeah, an accident that she cannot know because she's going to kill you!"
"Kill me!"
Naruto shook his head "not like that I meant it metaphorically."
She sighed in relief but then decided to ask a question "how did you pass the bird scene?" Tori moved closer to him.
Letting out a slight laugh "only time we'll tell Vega but until we meet again" Naruto said Grabbing his bag and leaving.
"You could've said you got that in woodshop class!"
"There is no woodshop class!" He responded
Tori just sat there and picked at the rest of her salad before getting up and throwing it in the trash.
Later
"Ahh finally home sweet home" Naruto said as he unlocked the front door to his house but interesting enough, he was greeted by his friends.
André and Beck were playing Wii sports resort, Cat and Robbie talking on the couch, Tori was just sitting there watching, and Jade was nowhere to be seen.
He dropped his backpack in disbelief "What the hell!? Are you guys doing here?"
Everyone stopped what they were doing until Cat got up and greeted him "Naruto you're here! We can finally get things started." She said as she dragged him to the couch.
"Uh start what exactly?"
Beck answered his question "well Cat wanted us to get to know Tori better and vice versa." Naruto saw that Cat had a cheerful face not wanting to hurt her feelings he just smiled and nodded.
This might've also explained why there were two cars parked by his driveway
"And Jade?" Naruto wondered
Tori pointed up signaling that she was upstairs.
Hearing footsteps they looked and saw Jade come down their stairs with what looked to be a purple hoodie.
"Whatcha got their Jade? André said as he closed the fridge and cracked open a soda. Smirking she unveiled it to the group while Naruto just covered his eye " I didn't know that skater boy went to PCA." She said with a little giggle
Quickly getting up he grabbed the hoodie and threw it "Where'd you find that?!"
Jade crossed her arms "Well Cat did invite us so Vega can get to know us better." Looking at the purple hoodie and looking back at him "but it seems we learned something new about you too." She said as she booped his nose.
"What is PCA anyways?" Beck asked
Sighing and slumping his shoulders he answered " PCA or Pacific Coast Academy is a boarding school in Malibu that I went to for 6th through 7th though it was a boy only school until it became coed."
"Wait, why was it boys only?" Robbie wondered. Naruto picked up the hoodie and put it over his shoulder "I honestly don't know? So, boys wouldn't be perving or maybe avoid teen pregnancies." All nodded at the last part.
"Do you mean by that last part? Beck said as he gave the Wii remote to Robbie. "We had dorms." Naruto said
"But you lived in these dorms, right?" Tori asked. Naruto gave her a blank expression "Yeah with roommates."
"Roommates?" They all said
"Yes roommates! Now explain how we are going to know each other better, Cat." Naruto said taking a seat on the couch next to Jade
Cat just cheered in glee. She grabbed a spinner with 8 spots, each one had their faces and one had 'everyone' written on it and cards.
"OK so everyone will get a turn to spin the wheel and whoever it lands on has to pick a card any questions?"
Andre was the first to ask, "what happens if we land on ourselves?"
"Then you still have to answer the question." She Spoke.
"And what if we don't want to answer the question?" Tori was the one that asked the question.
Cat had a mischievous " then you get punished." She said as she revealed another pair of cards.
"And if we don't do that?"
Cat's smile grew wider "then you have to drink this bottle!" She said as she pulled a bottle of Jack Daniel's, but Naruto quickly took it out of her hands "not today kitty cat!"
"Aww but why not!" She complained as she stopped her foot."
Putting the bottle in the cabinet he turned with his arms crossed "Because I'm not trying to have a hangover on a school day!"
"Plus, you're a lightweight Cat." Jade said
"I am not!"
"Enough, André, spin the wheel already." Naruto said. André rubbed his hands together and flicked the arrow spun for a while before it landed on Naruto's face "aha you got to go first!" André laughed and handed him a card. Grabbing the card, he read it aloud "Top 5 favorite songs."
Sighing he had to guess that she organized the cards from most commonly asked to the juicy parts of it.
Holding up 5 fingers he listed his top favorite songs.
"Feel good inc., come as you are, Stay in Shadow, When I Come Around, And Beginning of the End." Naruto listed off "too easy" he said as he gave the card back to André so they could form a pile for the used cards.
"I guess I'll spin next." Jade said, she then flicked the arrow, it spun until it landed on Tori.
"Looks like we get to know something about you Vega." Taking a card, she handed it to her "Oh and don't fail."
Tori snatched the card out of her hand and read it. "Show a scar? Aww do I have to?" She complained
Jade just looked at her "you want to get punished?"
Quickly taking off her shoe and sock she revealed a scar on the bottom of her right foot.
"Shesh how'd you get that!" Beck asked as he pointed at her foot. "I stepped on a broken piece of a lamp." She said, putting her shoe back on.
Taking the spinner, she flicked it and landed on Robbie. Taking the card, he read it aloud "who do you have a crush on?" He got a lot of gasps from the group "Well Rob who is it?" André asked.
Robbie just sputtered and stammered "I-I-I'm not answering this!" Giving back the card to Beck.
Beck put the card in the used stack and gave him a punishment card.
"Aww man!"
"Well? What does it say?" Tori asked
"Take a punch from someone in this room" he said, handing the card back. Naruto then gave him a left hook which knocked him out.
Tori quickly jumped out of the chair and checked on him " he's knocked out."
Jade let out a slight chuckle "I like this already."
Tori Let out a frustrated sigh "can someone please help him up?" She pleaded as she struggled with his body.
Beck hopped over the couch and helped her out "where should we put him?"
Naruto pointed to the kitchen table, both nodded and put him on the table.
"Alright, whose turn is it to spin the wheel?"
"Mine" Beck raised his hand in a relaxed manner he spun the wheel and ironically it landed on him, taking a card he read it "name your greatest fear."
Putting the card in the pile he said his answer "well that's easy nothing." Beck was then met with glances "what?"
Jade pointed at him with narrow eyes " I think you're just trying to dodge the question."
"Yeah" they all said
Cat just smiled with a tilted head and picked up a punishment card "Well since it seems like you Are spitting a bunch if bs you can take this card" she said
Rolling his eyes, he took the card "Text your ex 'I miss you"
Naruto and André perked up and both quickly replied, "Do it!"
"Yeah, come on do it"
Beck held up his arms "never I'm not texting that to my ex."
Naruto and André looked at each other and nodded.
"What are you? a pussy?" Naruto said. He saw that Beck's eye twitched a little. That meant it was working.
"Yeah pussy! Are you scared?" André said
Both continued to call him pussy until he gave in "Alright! I'll do it already." Both high fived each other.
Pulling out his phone Beck texted his ex "their happy now!" He said as he put the phone back in his pocket.
Cat just clapped her hands together "see this is so much!" She said, spinning the wheel it landed on Jade.
Jade picked the card and read it "Favorite movie, easy! the scissoring next!" She said, spinning the wheel it landed on 'everyone'
'Aww man'
'Fuck!'
'God dammit"
"Hey! I didn't make the rules here so stop complaining." She exclaimed. Snatching a card, she read it.
"Name a dream that you have for the future."
Jade was the first to say hers "an actor."
"A singer," Tori said. "Hey me too, we can be a duo!" Cat said, Tori awkwardly nodded her head.
"I'm going to be a producer; I like music so that's what my goal is." André said.
"You know I haven't really thought of one, but I guess modeling, I mean you get paid by posing so that's easy." Beck said, taking a sip of Fanta.
"What about you Naruto?" Looking down he saw that Tori gave him a small smile. Swirling his can around he answered "A Director"
"That's pretty nice! I mean you get to direct movies that studios write, and you get to capture that on camera!" Tori said
"And I hope you guys achieve your dreams as well."
He was thanked for what he just said except Robbie cause. He was still out
"Looks like it's getting late you guys' better head home." Naruto said as he looked at the clock time sure goes by fast when you're not looking at it.
"Yeah, he's right Plus Tori here has a bird scene to pass." Beck said, digging in his pocket he threw André the keys "start the car for me while I get Robbie."
"Sure, no problem."
Jade got up and grabbed Cat by the arm. "Come on, or else your parents will get mad cause you passed your curfew."
"Aww but can I at least have the bottle back?" She asked
"No" they all said
As soon as everyone left, he closed the door. Turning around to go upstairs he noticed that the cards were still there cleaning up one fell. Picking it up he read it "last time you cried?"
"Jesus Christ, I knew she really wanted us to get to know each other better but … argh never mind."
Walking towards the counter he put the cards and spinner in the drawer. Going up the stairs he went to his room and went to bed not before getting a text.
Tori: Are you still awake?
Naruto: Yeah why?
If he had to guess it might be about the bird scene
Tori: it's just, being in that Play means so much but Sikowitz is have me do this stupid scene about a bird!"
He raised an eyebrow
Naruto: Why is it stupid?
Tori: Because it's about a bird. I'm just going to tell Sikowitz that I don't need approval from others in order to do a play."
Naruto smiled inwardly "she finally figured it out."
Turning off his phone he went to bed
Next day
"Where is Tori?" Sikowitz said as he took a sip from his coconut. He heard the door open and saw that it was Tori.
"Ready to take the show over with?" Tori looked around and saw everyone stare at her. She saw that Jade had that evil smirk on her face like always.
Finally, she gave her response "No", Sikowitz now had a serious look on his face "And why is that?"
Walking closer she pulled out the book and tossed it towards him "that! This book has been annoying me for weeks! and for what so I could just audition for a play. Well, I'm going to show you that I don't need the approval of others!"
Sikowitz slowly clapped his hands causing the other students to clap with him.
"Why are you guys all clapping?"
Sikowitz started to finger point at her "Because you passed!"
Tori's eyes became wide "I-I did?"
Sikowitz just nodded "now do you understand why you failed twice?"
"Yes sir."
The bell rang signaling lunch. Getting up he almost walked out till Tori kept him in the classroom "you got to stop doing that you know?" Naruto said with a raised eyebrow
She held her hands up "Sorry can't help it. I'm just glad that I passed the scene."
"I can see that. Now if you excuse me, lunch is calling."
"Wait a second" She dragged him back into the room "I was going to ask if you finished the sketch yet?"
Putting his bag down he unzipped it and brought out his sketchbook flipping through some pages he got to the page he was looking for.
"Ah here we go, just like you wanted." Turning the book, he showed her the sketch. When Tori saw it she covered her mouth with her left hand and traced it with the other.
"It looks exactly how I imagined it to be." She thought
She was then snapped out of her thoughts when the book closed.
"Yeah, it looks great, huh cheekbones?" Ignoring the nickname, she gave him a small hug "oh and now we're hugging."
She Stepped back "so when is it going to be installed?"
Naruto just smirked "why don't you check the hallway." He pointed with his thumb to the door.
She ran out of the room and saw that her customized locker was finally here!
Tori looked at the bottom corner of her locker "you should press it; it'll make it Shine." Naruto jazzed his hands.
She pressed it and the LEDs lit up the stars shined in the sky, the 'Make it Shine' was red ,yellow ,and green.
She just sniffled then she cried "and here come the waterworks" Naruto mumbled
Moving to her side he rubbed her back, and she gave him a hug…again "jeez she's a hugger!"
"Don't cry Tori it's going to be alright I'll fix-" he was cut off by her "no don't fix it"
"It's perfect just the way it is!" Her tears were already bleeding through his red Hawaiian shirt. "Then why are you crying?
He felt her tremble a little "B-Be-Because N-No one has ever done so-something so nice for me before." She said sobbing
Hearing her say that caused him to return the hug for a few seconds before he pushed her off a little.
"So, you mean to tell me that ever since, let's say middle school till now no one has done something nice for you excluding birthdays and holidays?"
She nodded and wiped her tears "all my old friends were obsessed with the Hollywood dream that they always forgot about me."
He felt sympathy for her friends abandoning her for the Hollywood dream.
"Look if it makes you feel any better, we won't turn out like those straight to DVD guys alright?" He said as he put a hand on her head and ruffled it. She laughed at the 'Straight to DVD' part.
"Come let's enjoy lunch for once." Naruto said as he took her by the wrist and opened the doors to the Café. "Hey sorry we were late; the vending machine ate my money." Naruto said as he sat at the table
"Hey guys."
"Sup Rob"
"Hey, does anyone know what happened to me last night?" He said rubbing the left side of his face.
"Yeah, you got knocked the fuck out" Rex said the table erupted into laughter except for Robbie.
"Yeah, no shit Sherlock but who knocked me out? It was too fast for me to even see!"
Naruto slowly raised his hand until Jade brought it down quickly "aha! I knew it was you!" He got up and cocked his arm back
Naruto's eyes narrowed "Come on do it!" He spoke. Robbie just shook until he sat back down Beck patted him on the back "It's okay at least you tried."
"Twinkle toes" Jade said which caused the table to laugh and Andrè and Robbie to leave.
"Hey, I told them it was a bad idea!" Beck said, walking off to throw. Away his trash
"Yeah, look listen I know it was short, but I got to go before I get more detention." He gave Jade a glance "your house?"
"My house" She nodded; he pumped his fist ran.
Tori and Jade were the only ones left at the table. "So, you've been very clingy with my boyfriend lately."
Tori flinched when she said boyfriend "whaaaat? No, I haven't, what makes you say that?" Tori said as she avoided her gaze
Jade kept her gaze on Tori "Well for starters you two have not shown up to lunch and come late sometimes."
"Plus, I've been seeing how you stare at him with your- damn are those cheekbones real?" Jade stopped and wondered. Tori just slapped her arm away "Wait a minute you're not jealous, are you?" Tori asked
"No! Why would I be jealous of little Miss wannabe Katy Perry!" She quickly said, calming herself down, Jade asked Tori a Favor "anyways I need your help with something."
Tori gave an irritated groan "do I have too?"
"Yes, you do! In fact, come on!" Jade shot up and grabbed Tori by the ear "Hey yeah are you taking me?" She said as she got off Jade hold.
Crossing her arms, she sighed Jade hated reminding people of things "Look as much as I don't like him skateboarding, I need your help getting his board back."
"And why do you need my help?"
"Because everyone else refused, can we go now?"
Both walked back into the school then the bell rang "Shit! Follow me." Tori followed Jade into the Janitors closet and locked it, "as long as we're in here there is nothing to worry about right Vega?"
"Vega!"
Tori jumped and turned around "ugh did you really have to scream?" She said let go of her ears.
"What were you doing? And why were you looking out the window?" Jade said as looked out the window she saw Tori's locker "ahh seems like you finally customized your locker and were the first to have it be led."
Both heard the hallway go quiet, opening the door they checked if the coast was clear and got out of the closet "so what's your plan Jade?"
Tapping her chin, she walked around for a bit. "Well since they might've confiscated it that leaves us with two options: the principles and Lane's office."
Tori raised her arms and put them down "so what are we supposed to do then sneak into their office and find it or go for the easy way and look in the lost and found?"
"Lost and found" both said at the same time walking up the stairs they both saw a big box filled with stuff.
Running towards it both got on their knees and started to look through it. "Let's see Jacket, guitar pick, and a beanie Yup not anywhere in the lost in found."
"Look, can't we do this another time, I don't want to skip my next class." Complained Tori
Jade turned to Tori "I thought you wanted to help out Vega?"
" I really do but I don't want to waste my time on looking for a stupid board."
Jade just leaned and slid down on the wall "look I feel the same way too but we're going to get that board back, it means a lot to him."
Tori just nodded, "so it's one of those skateboards I got." She held a thumbs up
Getting back up she dusted herself off "I appreciate it."
"Yeah, no problem I'll see you tomorrow!" She waved and Jade responded by waving back.
Now alone she punched the wall repeatedly "damn it damn it damn it DAMN IT!" Shouted Jade as There were now Cracks in the wall.
"What's got you so worked up?" She heard from behind. Turning around she saw Naruto had his board in hand.
"Wait, I thought they confiscated that!" She said as she pointed to the Board
Naruto just held it up "uhhh yeah they did, why do you think I left lunch early?"
She just shrugged, " it's because the principal told me to meet him during Lunch and now I have her back only under one condition."
"And what's that?"
"They're now banned at Hollywood wood arts." Naruto said as he walked down the stairs.
"Well, that's a shame"
Naruto laughed a little " I know right?" He then gave Jade a boop on the nose " what was that for!?" She said with a little whine in her voice
"For trying to get my board back."
Her eyes widened " Vega didn't tell, did she?
"Oh, she did but the moment she saw me I couldn't understand what she was saying." Jade just laughed and gave him a kiss. "Well, it was supposed to be a surprise."
"Hey, don't worry about at least you tried and that's all that matters no harm feelings."
They let go of each other's hands going separate ways.
"Oh Naruto, don't forget to be at my place by 8:00pm."
"Okay I'll be there"
"And Don't be Late!" She shouted as she threw some scissors that lodged into one of the Lockers.
"Yeah Romeo, don't be late." Tori said as she walked by
"Shut up." Naruto said as he took the scissors out from the locker and noticed that the sucker went though
"She's pretty possessive." Naruto heard Tori say from behind "you don't say." Naruto turned around with a fake smile on his face.
She then pointed at the scissors "Any reason why she is so obsessed with scissors?"
" 1. The scissoring and don't want to know." He shook his head slowly with wide eyes.
She nodded her head in agreement. "Yeah, I think it is best that I don't know."
"Agreed"
Wow this update was quick originally the ending for this chapter was going to lead to the Robarazzi episode. But couldn't figure out a good plot for it to be in the chapter
Yeah, I'm sorry but some episodes won't go in order due to some of the episodes being meh.
Anyway, I hope y'all have a great 4th of July until next time bye.
