Victorious Gang: Locked Up!

2. Sleeps Like a Log

Disclaimer: If I owned Victorious, it'd be longer and the characters' development will be to a greater extent. Especially Jade's background, it needs to be thoroughly explored.

I needed story progression before moving on to the main event in this here story. Bear with me, please. :( also, I'm trying to fulfill Cabbie and Tandre fans' wishes more. BADE MOMENT is here! Not much, but good enough? :)

--------------------------------

"Bringggg!" The rusty metal bell on the wall of the enclosed corridor rung loudly, startling the gang. It jolted them awake, and made Cat, Robbie and Tori shot up on their beds. Well, most of them was affected by it anyway, as Beck and Jade were the only ones unaffected by the sudden noise. Beck, being unscareable and Jade being - well, Jade! The girl could sleep through a war, what did you expect her reaction to such a tiny bell ringing be?

André rubbed his eyes before he flung back the covers, stretching his body. Meanwhile, Robbie let out a groan and shifted his legs to the edge of the bed. Cat yawned as she moved to the edge, legs dangling over her bed, catching Robbie by surprise as he vision was just clearing up. He quickly recovered, as their attention was soon turned to Tori.

"Ouch!" Tori pushed herself up from the grey concrete ground, rubbing her right arm repeatedly. "What was that for?!" she exclaimed, glaring at Trina, who looked at her apologetically. "Sorry, I wasn't used to sharing a bed." "What's all that bickering 'bout?" André asked, looking down at the girls from the edge of his upper bunk bed.

"Trina kicked me down from the bed!" Tori responded, annoyance and slight anger obvious in her tone. "It was an accident! Also, in an act of defence because of that stupid bell. You wouldn't understand the art of defence." said Trina, defending herself against her sister's accusation.

"Just because you take up Martial Arts classes doesn't mean I wouldn't know the 'art of defence' ." Tori replied, imitating Trina and using air quotes on the last three words. Trina was about to argue back, but she was interrupted.

"Uhh, what time is it?" the group of awaken teenagers looked over to the new source of voice. Beck sat up, confused as to why five pairs of eyes were set on him. "What?" "Man, you really just woke up?" André questioned, surprised with Beck's ability to sleep through the bell and the commotion between the Vega sisters.

"Yeah? I guess?" Beck answered while shrugging, nonchalance in his tone. "At least he wake up now, not like Jade." Robbie chimed in, indirectly leading all of their attention on the still snoozing goth girl on the bed above Beck. "She sleeps like a log!" Tori exclaimed, astounded with Jade's uncanning sleeping ability. Cat gasps and frowned at Tori, "Jadey is not a log!"

"Ermm, I'm pretty sure Tori meant that Jade's sleeping soundly, Cat. It's a figure of speech." Robbie explained, as the bubbly redhead leaped down from the upper bunk. "Ohh. Okay!" Cat exclaimed, who was now standing next to Robbie's bed, twirling a strand of her long red hair round her index finger enthusiastically.

"Jade? Jade, wake up." Beck called out softly as he shook Jade's shoulder, who had her back turned towards him now. Jade growled and flung her left arm backward towards him out of reflex, trying to get rid of him as though he's a pesky fly. He managed to dodge in the nick of time, avoiding a very hard slap directly on his face from his still sleeping girlfriend.

His wake up calls were simply ignored, and cut short as key rattling sounds were heard. All of them except Jade turned their heads towards the entrance of the cell, only to see a guard busy unlocking the gate with a nasty scowl spread across his features.

"Chow time, buddies." He state simply as he drag the heavily damaged gate wide open, allowing access for the teenagers before moving on to unlocking the next cell. "Yay, food! Let's go, let's go!" Cat exclaimed, clapping her hands and jumping up and down on the spot excitedly.

Beck turned his attention in front of him, to see Jade sitting up with a sullen look on her face. He smiled a little before André called out to them with a wide grin on his face, "Come on guys, it's chow time!" He pointed towards the gate and headed out the cell with Tori and Trina, along Cat and Robbie following close behind.

Beck stepped down from the lower bed and backed away as Jade leap down from the bed, "Morning babe." he greeted Jade before embracing her around the waist in a hug, smiling down to her as he pulled Jade closer to him and planted his lips on hers. She wrapped her arms around Beck's neck, gladly returning the kiss before breaking the kiss and release her arms around him.

Jade smiled as she looked deep into Beck's brown eyes, before catching herself and quickly replace the expression on her features back with a glower. "Morning." Jade muttered under her breath before sulking away towards the gate. Beck ruffled his thick dark hair, laughing and smirking slightly, before jogging up to catch up with his beloved girlfriend.

Very short, I know. :( well, is the Bade moment good? Don't worry, other pairings will make an appearance in the next chapter. :) this chapter is necessary, as it leads the gang out of the cell and in the prison cafeteria. That's where the real fun and hopefully major Bade and other pairings' moments begin! Hope you enjoyed reading this chapter!
