"Hey Emma." Carly said to her homeroom buddy who was currently zoning out as she sat in the library after school.
"Emma?" Carly asked again poking her shoulder.
"YO EM!" Sam yelled causing the girl in question to jolt from her trance.
"Huh what?" Emma asked looking around the three friends that surrounded her. She shifted in her seat a little. Despite the attention her dark clothes and blue streaked hair gave her, Emma was one of the shiest kids in school. But she also was the nicest and ran the school's blog so her opinion was highly respected.
Whatever she deemed cool, everyone else had to check out.
"We want you to watch this and tell us if it's good." Freddie said setting a laptop in front of her.
"What is it?" Emma asked cautiously.
"It's a web show we're working on." Carly explained.
"What kind of web show?" Emma inquired knowing that a lot of people liked to show her some stupid things they liked on the internet.
"Will you just shut up and watch it?" Sam groaned. Emma blinked at Sam's outburst.
"Okay bye." She said standing up only to have Carly stop her by standing in front of her.
"Please?"
"You'll love it Emma." Freddie guaranteed.
"It's funny." Sam clarified.
"It's not gross like that video of the guy with the thing on his neck?"
The group gave her strange looks and Emma shook her head, dropping the subject before sitting down and pressing play on the video.
By the end of it she was laughing until she cried and by that night had updated the school's blog with a glowing review. The group stayed friends with her ever since.
Emma was iCarly's number one fan. She bought every piece of their merchandise she could afford; watched every episode from the Shay's downstairs computer (she was deathly afraid of cameras); and on numerous accounts expressed her pride in being a Seddie shipper (which constantly brought her hate stares from the couple in question.)
Over the years her friend's various personalities rubbed off on her in a way that helped mold her own unique personality. While she still remained true to her blue hair and darker clothes, she became a bit more bubbly like Carly; knew how to assert herself like Sam; and also picked up a lot of computer tricks from Freddie. She loved wearing jeans with skirts because she knew it annoyed them. She never kicked her habit of spacing out though.
After Carly and Sam left Seattle things started to get boring. Both Freddie and Emma were at the university- Freddie majoring in computer science and Emma in journalism. While Freddie managed to snag a few scholarships Emma was juggling multiple jobs in order to pay her tuition. One of those jobs being Spencer's house keeper.
