Sam POV
I wake up to a commercial blaring on the TV. Girly Cow had ended and now the network was showing late night programming that I'm not interested in. I can smell Freddie's deodorant and a hint of fabric softener. I pull my head off his chest and reach for the remote to turn off the TV. Carly's head is resting on my lap so I play with her hair while I decide what to do. It seems so easy to just fall back asleep on the couch, but I know that Spencer doesn't like us sleeping on the couch because it messes up our backs or something. So I begin to shake Freddie awake.
"Hmm, what?" he mumbles sleepily.
"Hey can you take Carly upstairs?" I ask.
"Yeah sure," he yawns sitting up and stretching. "You sleeping here?" he asks.
"Yeah I don't feel like walking home this late at night"
"Alright"
He stands and picks up my best friend gently and she turns her face into his chest. I fold up the blankets and put them away and make sure the front door is locked then follow them upstairs. Freddie sets Carly down on her bed and covers her up. He then walks over to me and pulls me into a hug.
"Goodnight Sam," he says into my hair.
We break apart and he heads for the door as I head for the bed. I get under the covers and fall asleep almost immediately.
The next morning Carly and I walk downstairs together.
"Hey kiddos!"
"Good morning Spencer!" Carly walks over to the kitchen to see what her big brother is making for breakfast.
"How much longer till breakfast is ready?" I ask as I sit down at my spot at the table.
"Right about now," Spencer walks over to the table carrying a skillet. As soon as it's on the table I start spooning some of it onto my plate. I don't really care what it is as long as it's food. Turns out to be a pretty amazing combination of scrambled eggs, sausage, cheese, and peppers.
"Sam, don't inhale your food," Carly says with a giggle.
"Compliments to the chef," I say winking at Spencer.
"Ha thanks. It's one of Carly's favorites. What are you guys up to today?"
Carly responds as my mouth is too full, "I don't know. I want to do something fun with Sam and Freddie. That is, if you're free today…" she looks at me and I nod my head. "So what do you want to do?"
I swallow and say, "I dunno. Freddie might have ideas."
"Wait," Spencer says. "You're looking for amusement right?"
We nodded, both knowing where he was going with this.
"Well then let's go to an amusement park!" I love when his face lights up with excitement like that.
"Ok let's go." Carly says with smile.
