Author's Note: New fic time! Woooooo.

I love this time of year. Christmas, winter in general, I just love it. So I'm gonna use said love and write thirty one one shots based on December days in the lives of the Victorious cast. Since it's the 1st, I'm uploading the one shot for that date, and it'll go on like that until the 31st. I'll write as honestly to the show as I can, so expect lots of Schneiderisms, such as chizz, gank, and anything involving lotion or hobos. But that's why we all love the show, right? :D

Not all of these one shots will revolve around Christmas. There will be ones about things that come with winter in general, like snow (or lack thereof cuz it's LA) Hanukkah for Mister Robbie Shapiro, and getting ready for another great year... c:

Character(s): Jade, Cat, Beck, Robbie, Andre, Tori, Trina

Pairing(s): Just Bade. For now ;D

December 1st, 2011

"These decorations would look better if they were back in their crates and stuffed somewhere in the bowels of the Hollywood Arts basement."

"Did you just say 'bowels'? Ew."

"Yes. Just because you only have a second grade vocabulary doesn't mean I have to dumb down everything I say."

"She doesn't mean it, Cat," Beck calmly stated, walking over and taking the wreath out of Jade's hands before she could use it to strangle someone. "Jade's just being a Grinch, that's all."

Trying to ignore his stupid smirk, Jade walked toward the staircase so she could sit down. Whatever. How The Grinch Stole Christmas was a pretty good story.

But it sort of goes downhill by the end, if you ask Jade.

It's not like Jade chose to stay after school to help put Christmas decorations around the school. Cat begged her and Beck pretty much made her. Besides, she was getting extra credit in her Set Design class for basically pulling things out of boxes and knocking the dust and spiders off them. Dust and spiders were two of the things that made Christmas decorating a little less suckish.

But they were almost done, so Jade decided to kick back and watch the goobs she called friends deck the halls of Hollywood Arts with boughs of holly, fa la la la la and all that chiz.

"Where's Robbie with the ladder?" Andre, who had draped at least three strands of tinsel-covered Christmas lights that were yet to be lit on his body, looked around for the Jewish nerd. "We gotta get these lights up along the ceilings before we can leave."

"He said he had to get it from the janitor," Tori explained, decorating the entrance door with the wreath that she stole from Beck. He originally took it from Jade, so that meant she indirectly stole it from Jade. At least by Jade's logic.

That gank.

Cat was twirling around the central area of the hallway, a strand of silver tinsel wrapped around her neck like a boa. "Wheeee, Christmaaaas!" Even the apple that Jade threw at her couldn't bring her down from her Christmas high. The Christmas season was her favorite time of the year. Just because one of her best friends was too much of a grump to get into the spirit didn't mean that had to get her down. Not that anything ever did.

As Cat scurried off to help Tori hang the last of the wreaths, Beck sat down next to Jade and placed a hand over hers, both to please her and to make sure she didn't pull anything else out of her Gears of War messenger bag to chuck at people. "Come on, babe, it's Christmas."

"No, it's not." Jade was tempted to yank her hand away, but didn't. Beck's hand was really warm and she always did have cold hands. "Christmas isn't for another twenty four days, so people shouldn't start spazzing out the day after Thanksgiving. I hate that."

"You hate anything that promotes peace on earth and good will towards men."

"If you ever say either of those phrases again, I'll break up with you and pants you in front of your entire family."

"You said that last year," he reminded her, lacing her fingers with his. "Yet I'm still wearing pants and I still have you."

"I never said I'd do it instantly." Jade squeezed his hand to take a bit of the sting out of what she was about to say. "I'll do it when you'd least expect it. Like when you're making a sandwich. Or in the shower."

"I dunno, I haven't showered with my pants on in front of my entire family for a while." Beck ignored the glare his girlfriend sent him and leaned closer to her. "Hey, no need for glaring. You might catch some of the tinsel on fire."

"Good…" Jade sighed, silently admitting defeat. She was getting nowhere with Beck and his stupid lack of rage toward the holiday season. "Say that you love me."

"I love you."

Before their lips could meet, Cat's high pitched laughter and shrieks of joy made them break away from each other. Beck wanted to know what was going on and Jade just wanted to throw another apple at her.

"Look, I made you all twinkly!" Cat exclaimed, hopping over to Andre and clapping her hands like an excited little girl. Andre didn't share in her amusement, since he had still been covered in the lights she ever so kindly plugged in for him.

Tori walked around Andre to take in Cat's work and used all of her willpower to keep from laughing. "Wow, Andre. Dare I say it, you really... Make it shine."

Andre just stated at her. "You shouldn't have dared to say it."

"I knew I liked you for a reason," Jade muttered, more to herself than Andre or anyone else. She wasn't one to hand out compliments, after all.

Andre sighed, but once he looked down at himself, he couldn't help but smile. "Man, I look like my grandma after the time she hid from some carolers in her Christmas tree."

"Tooooriii!"

Aaaand once again, Trina Vega had to come along and ruin one of the few moments between the group of six that didn't give Jade nausea.

The smile quickly faded from Tori's perfectly glossed lips as she spun around to face her older sister, who had thrown open the doors and was waiting not-so-patiently, as if just calling her name would make her come to her side. "Trina, my name only has four letters. You don't have to add more."

Completely ignoring that, Trina slammed the door as hard as she could (which wasn't all that hard, since the entrance doors didn't exactly swing that fast) and began walking over to her younger sister. "I have been waiting in the car for over forty five minutes! You said this wasn't going to take long!"

Tori groaned and told her, "Well, it would have took even less time of you had helped us!"

"You know I don't like to help people!"

From the corner of her eye, Jade saw Robbie waddling down the hallway, horizontally holding the ladder. That didn't stop Trina and Tori from fighting.

"You could have gotten extra credit in one of your classes for doing this!" Tori argued. "We all did!"

Trina simply shrugged. "Why would I need extra credit? That's not fair to the less talented people who need it more than me." The pat she gave to Tori's shoulder did not provide the comfort it was intended to.

As much as Jade loved seeing someone other than herself try to tear Tori down, her hatred for Trina outweighed that love. So as Robbie got closer to the quarreling sisters, she called out, "Hey Robbie, turn around."

Robbie absentmindedly did so, and the end of the ladder he was lugging knocked Trina right off her Fazzini boot clad feet.

As he watched Trina sprawl and wail on the ground in overly dramatic pain, all Robbie could get out of his mouth was a squeaky "oops" and a few nervous rambles of apology.

Nobody else, not even Cat, even attempted to look sympathetic to her bruised back, head and face.

"Hey, if you're done trying to kill people, could you bring the ladder over?" Andre asked, holding his lit up arms out. "I'm starting to get a little crispy over here."

"Cat, can you unplug him?" Tori asked as she helped her very ungrateful sister get to her feet. Trina stormed off after that and nobody protested.

The redhead, fiddling with the tinsel wrapped around her neck, pouted. "But he looks so pretty!"

"Well… I'm sure the hallway wants to look pretty too. It needs more help than Andre does, since he's already pretty" Tori weakly attempted to reason, not thinking Cat would go for it.

But she did, because she's Cat.

After she unplugged the lights and helped Andre unravel himself, she walked off to help feed the strand to Robbie, who was up on the ladder and ready to hang them. Andre shook the pieces of fake greens off of his green striped hoodie and walked over to Tori. "So, you think I'm pretty, huh?"

Tori nodded, not even trying to hide her giggles. "You most certainly are." Tilting her head and squinting her eyes, she gave him a once over and added, "Although the decorations did kind of add something."

Jade bit back a scoff. When were those two going to get over themselves and make out already?

Probably never, because they were both weenies.

Not that Jade cared about Tori's love life.

But she had to admit, the halls did look pretty good. Y'know, for being covered in fake greenery and cheap strings of lights.

Fa la la la la, la la la whatever.

So, um, hey, could you leave me a review? Just to let me know what you think? Love it? Hate it? Wanna hurt me with a sandwich?

Drake and Josh references fo sho.

Golly, I'm lame.

So please review, if you'd like! And feel free to leave suggestions for future chapters! They can be for a specific date (except Christmas Eve, Christmas, and New Year's Eve. I kinda have plans for those) if you like or just a general day. But if you're going to be specific, keep in mind I'm going by the calender, so no ideas about a plot at HA if you say it's on the 10th, which is a Saturday. And note that I said suggestions, so if I don't pick your idea, it's not because it was bad or because I didn't like it, but because it possibly didn't work with what I have planned.

But heads up, DON'T suggest anything with mistletoe. Please. I can already see fifty reviews that have an idea involving Bade/Tandre/Robbie and Rex getting caught under the mistletoe.

... Actually, that last one's not a bad idea. ;D

Pleasereviewiloveyouguys.
