Hello all. I've been planning to write this for a while. I wanted to have another chapter of 'Trina is Done' before I posted this, but I'm having some writer's block with it, so I wanted to get feedback about how this one seemed to look.
Just a few things: One-Beck and Jade are back together (apparently that's in an upcoming episode). Two-Tori and Andre are dating now and Robbie and Cat are 'semi' dating until Cat leaves (I'm just going to follow the direction the series is possibly headed and go with Cat moving in with Sam from iCarly). Three-Whereas my other story reinterpreted some episodes, this one will hold keep everything canon so far. Some of the general themes will be similar, but this is a completely separate story.
Anyway, read and review.
P.S. I don't own Victorious
"How's the packing going?" Trina Vega asked her mom as Holly was stuffing her suitcase.
"Just about finished," she told her daughter, "Oh, could I borrow your sandals; I haven't had a chance to replace mine from last year?"
Trina nodded as she walked to her closet, anxious for tomorrow to get here.
Throughout the Vega household, most of the family was packing. Just one week after school had let out for the summer, and, starting tomorrow, three members would be enjoying it. The original plan was that all four members would be getting ready for a trip for them to take together, but things had come up that prevented them from taking a family vacation to celebrate Trina graduating.
Yes, one week ago, Trina Vega had graduated from Hollywood Arts High School. Trina, Sinjin, and all the other members of their class were awarded their High School diplomas and respective honors. In Trina's case, she was recognized for obtaining a GPA over 3.75 (hers was 3.77), a California scholar for the honors and AP classes she had taken, and a few notifications for being involved in the Karate and Rock Climbing extracurricular groups.
After the ceremony at school, there had been a small party at the Vega's. In addition to Tori and their parents, other relatives had come in, Tori's friends were there, and a few people Trina knew from school and the dojo she took karate outside of school had shown up; nothing too big.
Roughly a month ago the family had been planning to take their vacation the week after school ended. The idea was to let Trina pick where they would go before she started college in August. But, other things prevented their plans.
After many years of dedicated service, David Vega was being promoted from average cop to detective by his commanding officer. The pay wasn't too much better, but most people thought it was safer. There was some training he had to go through first though. Every new detective had to attend a retreat up in Santa Rosa. It wasn't the easiest, but the retreat was close to the ocean and the department paid for travel and lodging. Plus, the department had no complaints about wives going upstate with their husbands so Holly would be there to enjoy the area as well. They'd be gone for two weeks.
Meanwhile, Tori would be flying up to Vancouver with her five friends. Beck's cousin landed a role in a new Canadian sitcom and had gotten tickets for the six of them to come and watch the taping. Beck's dad had covered their travel fare and they each had saved up to pay for food and shopping while they were there. It was also meant to be one last adventure for the group before Cat left. The redhead was leaving Los Angeles to go to school out of state and they all wanted to do something fun together before she was gone. They'd be gone at least two, maybe three weeks.
Everyone thought that Trina was the only one that wasn't going on a trip tomorrow. Obviously it would be uncomfortable if she went with just her parents and she didn't bother asking Tori about her not getting a ticket since she had just graduated. Trina pretty much knew the excuses she'd get: 'Beck's dad could only afford so much; his cousin doesn't know about you; it could be awkward with you being the only single person there, etc.' Honestly, Trina didn't care about going to Canada.
The Vega's current plans didn't mean their family vacation was off. Her parents said they'd still try and go where Trina wanted when they could. Trina accepted their explanation, but she knew that she wouldn't be going on any future trip with her family.
Because what the rest of the Vegas didn't know was that Trina had been planning a trip of her own for a while now. And she wouldn't be back in two, three, or even four weeks.
In fact, Trina doubted she'd ever come back at all.
And that's it for now. Please read and review/PM. Also, I'd really appreciate some suggestions from anyone willing to offer some. I have ideas about what I want to include, but for the time frame I want the story to span, I'm going to need a lot more so please include any ideas you might want and I'll see what I can do.
