She Will be VicTORIous

Chapter 1: Meeting the Crew

Finn Burke had known Tori Vega for most of her life. They went to primary and high school together. She missed Tori dearly when she went to Hollywood Arts, but she knew it was the best for her very talented friend. Finn and Tori were both similar and different at the same time. Both had incredible beauty, Tori with her luscious brown locks and high cheekbones and Finn with long gray hair, sun-kissed skin, and vibrant green eyes. Both girls hated being called by their full names, Tori, being called Victoria, and Finn called Finnigan. However, Tori had a complete loving family, while Finn only had an older sister. Tori was an extremely talented singer, while Finn had no talent, or so she thought.

Finn spent a lot of time at the Vega house. She and Tori had just had a sleepover and were lounging around in their pajamas and watching TV. Finn's sleep tousled hair was thrown haphazardly into a bun, and she was wearing a sweatshirt much too large for her, a pair of shorts, and some cute slippers.

"Hey, Tor, I'm gonna make some breakfast," Finn called out.

"Ooh, make me something too!" Tori replied.

"Ugh, fine."

Finn went to the fridge to get some eggs for an omelet, only to see none left. She sighed and went to the refrigerator in the garage to get some. While she was gone, there was a knock on the door.

"Who is it?" Tori yelled.

"It's Andre!"

"Come in."

Andre barged into the house in a bit of a frenzy. He paced in front of the couch.

"Whoa, whoa, Andre. What's up?" Tori asked.

"Look, I entered a duet contest at the Karaoke Dokie, and my partner dropped out. I can't find anyone else to sing with me. Cat is with Jade. Robbie is singing with Rex. Beck can't sing. I don't know what to do!" Andre ranted.

"Hey, calm down. I'd be happy to do the duet with you!"

"Thank you! Thank you!"

"No problem, I'm gonna go get dressed, and then we can start rehearsing, okay?"

"I'll be here."

Tori retreated upstairs, and Finn quietly came back inside. She cooked up a tasty omelet, put it on a plate, and began taking it to Tori.

"Here you go, Tor-AHH!" Finn screamed. "Who are you?!"

"I'm Andre! Who are you?!"

"Oh, you're one of Tori's friends." Finn sighed, relieved. "I'm Finn; nice to meet you."

"Nice to meet you too. I think Tori's mentioned you before. You're one of her friends from her old school?" Andre questioned.

"Yep! We've been besties since we were little."
