Hey, guys! I decided I would try something new. This story will be in LA, but it isn't based on Sam & Cat. There will be Victorious characters as well (please don't judge me; I've never written with them before!). The reason this story is on the "iCarly" fan fiction page is because it is about Sam and Freddie. I hope you enjoy!

Cat Valentine opened the door to her apartment to see her roommate, Sam Puckett, out cold on the couch. "Why am I not surprised?" she mumbled. She threw a pillow at her blonde friend.

"What? What's going on?" Sam yelled.

"Nothing's going on," Cat replied. "Except for the fact that we need to babysit two kids in five minutes and you're the furthest thing from awake."

"What time is it?" Sam asked her.

"3:25!" the redhead answered. "How long have you been sleeping?"

"I don't even know. I'm so tired. I was up late last night-"

"PearChatting Freddie?"

"Yes," Sam admitted slowly. "How did you know that?"

Cat rolled her eyes. "Do you think I don't see you sneak out of our room at two in the morning?"

"Oops," Sam mumbled.

Cat's phone beeped, indicating she just received a message. After she replied to it, she sighed and looked at Sam. "You're so lucky. Mrs. Lennington just cancelled because one of the kids is sick."

Sam grinned. "Cool."

Cat sighed, sitting down next to Sam. "Look, this business is the only thing keeping up under this roof. If you don't mind, can you start taking this more seriously?"

"What makes you think I'm not taking this seriously?" Sam asked her defensively.

"Do you really want me to answer that?"

"I guess not."

"Good." Cat looked at Sam firmly. "What's bugging you?"

Sam looked back at her. "The fact that I have to stay up until four AM to talk to Freddie."

"It's been almost five months since he came here; you still haven't gone out to that dinner?" Cat asked, confused.

"No," Sam mumbled with a roll of her eyes. "His stupid mother freaked out when she found out he was in the hospital, so she ordered him to come home."

"Aw, that sucks."

"Yeah, well it's easy for you since you're dating Robbie, and he lives only fifteen minutes away."

Cat was slightly insulted by the harshness in Sam's voice, but she knew she was just jealous and didn't really mean it. "So, are you and Freddie flirty?"

"Yeah," Sam laughed. "He always sends me those cute smiley faces and tells me he misses me every one or two messages. I do the same."

"You really like him, don't you?"

"The word like is an understatement."

"Look, Sam," Cat said with a smile, "everything will be fine."

"How do you know?" Sam asked glumly. "Nothing ever works out for me."

Cat's heart broke at that statement. "Don't be like that," she said. "You guys are so close to being back together again; things can't go wrong now!"

"I just want to be with him," Sam said softly. "We're both too scared to try again because we're even more afraid it won't last." With that, she rose from the couch and retreated to their room.

Cat sadly watched her. "How can I help her?" she asked herself. "Sam never cares about boys, but with Freddie, it's a whole different story." She unlocked her phone and went to text Dice and Goomer, but she then remembered that they were in San Francisco, and would be for the next week and a half.

She needed people to help her with this task of getting Sam and Freddie to face their feelings and get back together. With Dice and Goomer out of town, she was limited to who could help her.

Suddenly, an idea popped into her head, and she smiled. She scrolled through her messages until she found an inactive group message with three very special people. She quickly sent a message. This idea was going to work.

Hey, guys! I need help with an important mission. Please come to my apartment at 12:00 tomorrow! Thanks!

She didn't even wait for them to respond. She knew they would come. They just would.

...

The next day, Cat sat impatiently at the kitchen counter, tapping her fingers against it with each second that passed by. It was 11:55, and Sam was still not out of the apartment. "Um, Sam?" she called. "Aren't you supposed to be meat shopping?"

The blonde emerged from their bedroom, carrying her bag. "Yeah, yeah, I'm leaving now. Why do you seem so eager for me to leave?"

"Well, I'm…about to try out that 'special lemonade' recipe you showed me that Carly used to make," Cat said quickly.

"And I'm out of here," Sam laughed as she opened the door. "If you need me, call me."

The second the door slammed, Cat received a text message.

From: Jade W(B)est

Just got here. You better have food.

Cat smiled. Less than five minutes later, the doorbell rang, and she could hear voices outside. She happily answered the door and was greeted with the faces of some of her best friends: Jade, Robbie, and Beck. After an emotional welcome, the group sat down around the living room.

"Okay, so why are we all here exactly?" Jade asked.

Cat smiled. "I need your help."

"With?" Beck asked.

"It has to do with my friend, Sam Puckett," Cat explained.

Jade moved up in her seat. "Puckett! I love her! What does she need?"

"Well, she's in a relationship issue," Cat said.

"Let me guess, Freddie?" Robbie said.

"Yep."

"Just a quick question. Why do you need us for that?" Beck asked curiously.

"Both Sam and Freddie are too scared to try out a relationship again, so I need all of you to help me convince them that they are perfect for each other."

Jade nodded. "Yeah, I'll help. Sam's really cool, and she really does like that nub."

Robbie took Cat's hand, saying, "Count me in."

"Okay," Beck answered. "Freddie seems like a cool dude."

"Great!" Cat smiled. She kept smiling at her friends for quite a while until it became an awkward silence.

"Um, Cat?" Beck interrupted her thoughts. "How are we going to complete this task?"

"Oh!" Cat laughed. "That's the part I didn't figure out yet."

"Oh, geez," Jade sighed. "Cat, how do you expect us to figure out a decent plan?"

"Calm down, Jade," Robbie said, looking down at his hand, which was still holding Cat's. "Let's think. Obviously, the first thing we need to do is get Freddie down to LA, unless you all want to go to Seattle."

"Nah, I'm good here," Beck chuckled.

"Okay, now since that was decided, how is he getting down here?" Jade asked.

"He isn't allowed to come down here by himself without an adult because of the killer tuna," Cat giggled.

"So that means we need an adult to accompany him," Robbie said, in thought.

"There has to be someone from Seattle who can take him," Beck said.

"That's it!" Cat suddenly interrupted.

"What's it?" Jade asked.

"Spencer Shay!"

"Who?" Beck asked.

"Spencer Shay! Carly's older brother!"

"Oh, good idea!" Robbie smiled.

"This is so going to work," Jade smiled deviously. "Oh, and Cat? Invite that Gibby kid, too. I have a special job for him."
