Night of the Comet

Chapter 1 – The Arrival.

Note: This story is based on the 1984 horror/comedy movie "Night of the Comet" Starring Catherine Mary Stewart and Kelli Maroney. It was written by Thom Eberhart. I must give credit where credit is due. It's a great movie and one I highly recommend. I thought I'd have some fun and placed our Victorious characters in it. I could do easily with only minor changes. Tori's dad was an army guy and not a police officer and after the death of Holly Vega, he had since remarried a woman named Joyce.

Enjoy.

No One's POV

Comets, those balls of ice, dust and rock that regularly visit our solar system, are now well understood and hardly newsworthy.

However, some months ago, scientists spotted a comet entering our solar system on a parabolic arc so wide, that they estimated that the last time it was here was 65 million years ago. Even more noteworthy, was the fact that the earth would pass directly through the comet's tail, which scientists said would cause a lightshow, that would make even the most elaborate 4th of July fireworks display look like a mere bottle rocket in comparison.

All over the world, people eagerly awaited the comet with baited breath and just about everyone was throwing their own comet party. On the Friday night, the comet was to arrive; the entire world had taken on a festive air. For the students of Hollywood Arts high school, the display would create a welcome diversion for the preparations for final exams.

Everyone was having a good time, celebrating, drinking and waiting for the comet; well almost everyone.

Tori Vega was pissed, not for just one thing, but several things. First of all, she was scheduled to work her job as a movie theatre usherette, which meant wearing her uncomfortable red usherette uniform.

Tori worked at the Bijou theatre in downtown L.A. It was one of the few classic movie houses left from the golden age of film in the 1930's and specialized in old and cult films. Tonight, it was having a special midnight showing of the classic 1957, sci-fi movie, "Invasion of the saucer men"

But beyond the fact that she'd wound up working and would miss Andre's Comet party was the fact that Jade kept flaunting Beck in her face. But in small way as it was a blessing, as both they'd both would be there. Something Tori simply didn't want to deal with.

For nearly a year, Tori had gone out with Jade but some 4 months ago, Jade started getting jealous, became paranoid and began to make accusations about Tori cheating on her. Tori was faithful and eventually began to resent it. Tori started to push back, which resulted in massive fight and the end of their relationship.

As if a reset button had been pushed, the Goth promptly went back to making Tori's life a living hell and once again started dating Beck. But recently, Jade seemed to have gone out of her way to show her that Beck and her were happy.

On this particular night, Tori was less than happy and as she stood in the lobby playing the 80's arcade game Tempest, she found yet another reason to be unhappy.

Tori loved that game and was the undisputed master of tempest. Having finished the game and beat her high score, she put her initials TDV on the high score list. Tori prided herself at having all spots in the top ten scores list at all times. However, as she put her name in she spotted on the number six spot, a different set of initials.
