Hey everyone! I am very sad to say that this will be the last chapter of the story. I was thinking of dividing it into two chapters but for some unknown reason I decided to squeeze everything into one big, extremely long chapter instead. This one will most likely be like the last chapter- there will be very little dialogue (okay, I may have just lied, but whatever). However, it is different in that it will dwell over a long period of time instead of, say, 10-20 minutes like the other chapter did.

After this story, I will finish my other Victorious story that I have mentioned before, and then I'm going to take a break from Fanfiction for a little while. But don't cry just yet, I'll be back soon! I will come back after I finish the novel I've been writing called "All Because of You." It's currently 12 chapters and 130 pages long and I just need to write the epilogue.

I hope you guys enjoyed this story and I'm sorry if this chapter is a little rushed!

The next day did not go so well for Robbie. Well, for one thing, remember that Physics test he studied all of that night for? He got a 75% on it, which ended up pulling his grade down to a B. He was usually an A+ student! He had never had this much trouble in a subject before, and this bad grade just made him regress into a somber mood the rest of the day.

Not only that, but he hadn't seen Cat all day. Even though they didn't talk anymore, they would still give each other nervous glances and then look away as if those glances would somehow prompt an awkward conversation with each other, which neither of them wanted at all.

Not that Robbie minded looking at Cat, anyway. He likes staring at pretty girls, especially Cat. She always wore the prettiest outfits that suited her personality and her figure perfectly. Today, he missed the way she would smile at everyone across the table and interrupt their banter with wild stories about adventures she had had recently with her brother.

Glum, tired, and out of breath, he trudged over to his locker to get his things. At this point in the afternoon, everyone was gone. He had to stay an hour after school so he could talk to his physics teacher about maybe doing some extra credit in order to make up for the bad grade he had received. The physics teacher had merely given him an irritated look, told him to try harder and ditch the puppet (at which Robbie replied defensively, "He is NOT a puppet!"), and returned to grading his work in silence.

Let's see… he thought to himself. What do I need to bring home with me today? Binder… check. Theater textbook… check. Homework… check. A box with a note on top… check. Wait, what?

He plucked the medium-sized box off of his huge pile of books and examined it incredulously. What could this possibly be? He carefully removed the note, unfolded it, and read the neatly printed handwriting.

Dear Robbie,

Hiii! It's your secret admirer! Aren't secrets fun? I think so! Anyway, since you probably know who this is already because you're just that smart, I won't tell you my name. I just want to give you some presents to show you that I care about you. Now open the box and you'll find a bunch of goodies inside!

From, a mysterious stranger ;)

Robbie was stunned; he had never had a secret admirer before! It made his stomach burst into a million butterflies. He couldn't wait to see what was inside.

His hands trembled with excitement as he opened the package, which was wrapped in purple and blue tissue paper and had stickers all over it. He removed the masking tape with care and opened the box slowly, as if something was going to pop out at him any second. His eyes almost popped out of his head at the amount of "goodies" the mysterious box held.

He first pulled out a long, thin box and read the note on top of it. Favorite candy: Senior Mints

He chuckled happily and opened the box. He popped one into his mouth and drifted into a minty, chocolately bliss; he hadn't had one of these in what seemed like forever! He set them aside for later and reached in the box for his next gift. His hand landed on something soft and squishy. Favorite animal: Platypus.

He grinned and stared at the animal's beady eyes. Rex could sure use a buddy. Sure, he'll be mad at first, but he'll get used to it. He put it in his backpack along with the Senior Mints.

His smile just grew wider and wider as he went through each present one by one.

Favorite movie: Star Wars. A complete action figure kit of all the Star Wars characters.

Favorite TV Show: Danny Phantom. A boxed set of all three seasons.

Favorite instrument to play: Guitar. A box of shiny, new guitar picks.

Favorite teacher: Sikowitz. Robbie smirked as he pulled out a bobble head of Sikowitz with two large coconuts in his hands. Sinjin probably made it or something, like he had made a bobble head of himself once for Tori.

Soon enough, he reached the last present: And finally, your Favorite group of friends: Us :)

He pulled out a framed picture of the six of them at the beach after they had gotten stuck in Beck's RV. They were all in the water smiling at Trina and her camera as a huge wave had been sneaking up behind him. Robbie remembered that moment really well. The wave had crashed directly onto them, leaving them soaking wet and howling with laughter.

He was just about to throw away the box when he saw yet another note at the bottom of it. Now go into the Blackbox Theater for your last surprise. I guarantee you will not be expecting it.

He threw his belongings down at the foot of his locker and raced down the hallway to the theater. His heart pounded frantically in his chest and thoughts swirled around in his brain at lightning speed. Who could it possibly be? It was obviously someone very close to him and in their little group- which narrowed it down to Jade, Tori, and Cat.

He scratched Jade out immediately since he knew that she hated his guts- she had told him many times before. So it was between Tori and Cat… but Tori couldn't know this much about him, right? They've only hung out a few times, and they were usually for school-related purposes. So that left only one person… Cat.

No way, he thought. She probably hates me for not coming to cheer her up when Paul dumped her. Is she teasing me?

Before he could answer that thought, he arrived in the Theater. There, he saw a note taped in the middle of the stage floor. He picked it up and read it, and he almost fainted when he finished.

Hi Robbie,

I just wanted to say that I'm so, so sorry if I ever hurt you in any way. Whatever I did, I didn't mean it, honest to God! I've missed you, Robbie. I missed talking and joking around with you- I even miss Rex! Never thought that would happen, hehehe :)

I think the thing that I miss most is you holding me and telling me that everything would be okay. I miss when you used to hold me in your arms and wipe my tears away- it made me feel so special and loved. And watching you today in that scene (which you were really good in, by the way)… I realized something. I like you. A lot. As a friend or something more, I don't know yet, but I'm willing to figure it out if you are. And I know just the way to accomplish that :D Hehe, I love making people happy, especially you!

Please forgive me :(,

Cat

P.S.- Oh yeah, I forgot to ask you! Oopsie-daisies! Will you go to Prome with me? Pretty pretty please? I'm sorry I rejected you last year. Now, I realize it was a big mistake.

"Yes," he whispered, thinking that no one could hear him. This was the moment he had been waiting for this whole year- heck, his whole life, practically. Not only had Cat apologized for everything, but she liked him! Yes, him with the puppet and the glasses and the nerdy, insecure personality. "Yes, yes, yes!"

He heard someone giggle behind him. "Turn around," the same voice chirped.

And that he did. Standing at the door was, no surprise here, Cat.

"Will you?" she said, locking her eyes with his as she slowly walked towards him. "I really am sorry." A lone tear trickled down her cheek and Robbie wiped it away with his thumb.

"Of course I will, Cat." He gazed down at his Prome date and his heart skipped a beat- she looked beautiful as always; she was dressed in a purple tank top with denim shorts and matching purple Converses.

"Yay!" she squealed and gave him a hug. Robbie hugged her back, wishing that the bliss would never end.

"Well, what do you think?"

He opened his eyes as Cat came out of the dressing room. Dress shopping had made him tired. Walking around the mall just wasn't his thing. As much as he loved Cat, his feet were begging him to go home. He just wished that Cat would pick a dress already- they had already been to six stores!

However, he became wide awake as this thing of beauty stood in front of him. She had decided to go with a long dress this year instead of a short one. The red strapless dress hugged her upper body tightly while the bottom sprawled outwards at the legs as if she were a fairy princess. Diamond jewels in the shapes of leaves and branches wandered the top half of her dress and sparkled in the store lights. She giggled and twirled around in excitement, revealing a low cut back. It was mature yet it suited her so flawlessly that it was unbelievable.

Cat looked in the mirror and fell in love with the dress. It wasn't pink, but it was just as close, if not better. She felt amazing, like she and her dress were meant to be. It was just… perfect. Everything was perfect now.

She strutted over to Robbie and waited for his approval. He just gawked at her, totally at a loss for words. What did he possibly do to deserve a girl as beautiful as Cat?

"Wow… I-I…" he stuttered, scanning her up and down. "I think you look amazing."

"Thanks!" she exclaimed, and while he was still in his daze; Cat had changed out of the dress, paid $300 for it, and dragged Robbie over to the tie store so that he could by a matching tie and corsage.

It was a lot of money to pay for a dress. But it was worth it. Deep down inside, she knew it would be.

"Robbie! Look! Over there!" Cat tapped his shoulder excitedly and pointed to the center of the dance floor.

Robbie turned around and saw that she was looking at a clown on a unicycle juggling a bunch of brightly colored balls. He chuckled to himself; Jade must have screwed up the entertainment again before Prome had started.

"Aren't they so colorful?" Cat asked them. "It's like a spinning rainbow!" She giggled and shook her head ever so slightly. "Like Lucky Charms!"

"Yes, Cat, they're really pretty," he said patiently. He grasped her hand in his. "But not as pretty as you."

She glanced up at him and a small, shy smile appeared on her lips. "Robbie…"

She looked like she wanted to say more but she decided against it. It wasn't the right moment to tell him yet, but she knew. She would know when the right time would come; she just had to wait. "I'm having such a great time with you."

"Me too," Robbie said, giving her a small smile of his own.

It was true- they were having a great time. He had gone over to her house and, after many pictures taken by both sets of parents (Robbie's and Cat's parents), had picked her up in his car since he couldn't afford to pay for a limo. They had been laughing, dancing, eating, mingling, and just enjoying each other's presence the whole night. Over the past month, Robbie had forgotten what being close to Cat was like. This was definitely an improvement- maybe even a miracle (in his eyes).

They later joined Tori and Andre and they had a great time. Tori was wearing a short grey dress that had a cool top (lol I didn't know how else to describe it, sorry!) and a bottom with glittery silver roses, and Andre wore a matching sliver tie. After about a half hour of chatting and eating, Tori and Andre walked up to suggest a song. Only two minutes after they left, a slow song came on.

I've never gone with the wind
Just let it flow
Let it take me where it wants to go
Till you open the door
There's so much more
I've never seen it before

"Ooh, I love this song!" Cat said, clapping her hands in excitement.

"Well, in that case then…" Robbie stood up and offered his hand like a gentleman. "Would you like to dance?"

She giggled softly before taking his hand. "I'd love to."

I was trying to fly
But I couldn't find wings
Then you came along
And you changed everything

He guided her to the middle of the dance floor and hesitated, not knowing what to do next. Cat gave him a sympathetic grin as she laced her hands on the back of his neck and he simultaneously put his hands on her waist.

"Robbie… I need to tell you something."

He snapped up from gazing down at her cherry red lips and blushed. "Go right ahead, I'm listening."

"Remember when I told you that I didn't know if I wanted to be just friends or something more?"

"Yeah…" He waited for her to go on.

Cat smiled and leaned her head against his chest. "I think I've made my decision."

You lift my feet off the ground
Spin me around
You make me crazier, crazier
Feels like I'm falling and I
I'm lost in your eyes
You make me crazier,
Crazier, crazier

Before Robbie could ask her what her decision was, Cat heard the lyrics. She looked up at him with pleading eyes. "Would you do that to me?" And of course Robbie, eventually hearing the lyrics as well, did.

He wasn't the strongest man in the world, but Cat was so light that it was practically a joke. He picked her up and spun her around a couple of times, making Cat laugh hysterically. He put her down and, like the lyrics said, got lost in her eyes. It was like he was swimming in the milky chocolate that was the color of her eyes.

Before they knew what was going on, her lips were on his, and it was just the two of them in their own little world. He deepened the kiss and pulled her closer, and as if they were cued by some imaginary force of nature, fireworks exploded over them. They broke away unwillingly, startled by the loud booming noises above them, and watched the fireworks as they sparkled in the sky.

It was so sappy and so incredibly cliché, and they knew it too… But right now, they didn't care. Not one bit.

Hand in hand, they walked up to her front door where everything had started just a year ago. Oh, how things can change so fast in just one year. They walked in complete silence, listening to the noises of nature around them, not wanting to spoil the calm atmosphere around them and the remarkable moment they were currently basking in.

When they reached the front door, Cat turned around and gave him her puppy dog look, not wanting him to go. She bit her bottom lip, and it was obvious what she wanted from him.

Without hesitation, Robbie kissed her with a confidence he never knew he had. She giggled against his lips and pulled away a little while later. He still wasn't good at the whole kissing thing yet. But that's okay- even though he wasn't experienced yet, he'll get there. She wanted to make this last as long as possible.

"Bye Robbie." And with one last squeeze of his hand, she walked into her house, letting the door close quietly behind her.

Robbie practically danced in joy back to his car. Once he got into the driver's seat, he licked his lips. Mmm, cherry lip gloss.

He smiled to himself. He could get used to this.

One week later, they sat next to each other at the lunch table, secretly holding hands underneath it. They had just broken the news to everyone that they were dating.

Andre and Beck had just gaped at them with their mouths wide open while Tori and Jade had given them knowing smiles. "How did this happen?" Beck asked, breaking into a lopsided grin. Andre mimicked his expression soon after. They thought it was a little weird, but they were happy for the both of them. As long as Cat was happy, they were, too… and for Robbie, of course.

Cat looked down at her food shyly and laughed quietly. "We'll tell you someday." She looked at Robbie and winked at him. "For now, it's our little secret."

Jade smiled at the two of them. Of course, she was going to give Cat hell later for not telling her about this sooner, but she liked seeing Cat happy- even if it was with Robbie. Tori and Andre chose to tell them all about their decision to date also and the gang became immersed in an animated conversation.

At the end of the day, Robbie surprised Cat with a trip to the park. They got ice cream from the ice cream truck (rainbow sherbet for Cat, chocolate for Robbie) and sat down on a nearby bench.

After ten minutes of talking about Tori and Andre's new relationship and how amazing Prome was, Cat suddenly became silent.

"What's wrong?" Robbie asked, becoming worried over the change in her mood.

"Will we be together forever, Robbie? You know, like in the movies?" she asked quietly. She had never been in a relationship this serious before; not even her one with Daniel could compare to this. The connection between them was just so close, so secure… But it still made her question her decision- was she willing to let herself get hurt again?

As if Robbie had seen her flashback in her eyes, he planted a kiss on her forehead and wrapped an arm around her shoulders. "I hope so, Cat. I hope so. Look at me."

He turned her shoulders to face him, and Cat looked up while chewing on her plastic spoon. "I would never hurt you like all those other guys did. I promise."

His eyes stayed steadfast on hers, and she knew he wasn't lying. "Pinky swear?"

He chuckled and they crossed pinkies. "Pinky swear."

At that moment, Cat felt like she was flying on top of a cloud. She was safe, she was loved. She felt like no one could hurt her now. She had finally found "The One"- and she couldn't be happier.

Hooray for magically cliché Cabbie fluff! Thanks for reading, guys! A couple of notes before I conclude: The song was Crazier by Taylor Swift. Here is the link to Cat's dress: .

And to Tori's: photos/o/368098-gabriella_silver_prom_

Please review! And I will write more Cabbie stories in the future, I promise! Love you all X333
