"Well," Carly said. "With that Sam's theory of Gibby is untrue!"

"That's right," Sam then said, "Gibby is not a mermaid." She then slapped his back hard, "Sorry Gib." she said as he ran down the stairway screaming.

"And that wraps up today's iCarly," Carly said, "until next time, wear a hat."

"Eat plenty of beans!" Sam said.

"And above all else, drink ranch dressing," Carly then said. Afterward they both waved and said their goodbyes.

"Aaaaand, we is clear!" Freddie, the technical producer announced. After shutting down his computer he then started for downstairs.

"Hey, where are you going?" Carly asked.

"Back home, mom, uh wants me to take another tick bath." He answered walking really fast and slamming the door behind him.

"Well," Sam said. "I never thought the dork would be excited about a tick bath."

"I don't know," Carly said, "It seemed like there was more to it than that."

(Freddie's POV)

"I don't know," I overheard Carly say from outside her door, "It seems like there was more to it than that."

There was more to it than that. No, I didn't have to take a tick-bath, but the truth is ever since I broke up with Carly there's been a guilt that

surrounds me. And it's been to a point where I just can't be in the same room as she is anymore. Sure when I think about it I knew it was the right

thing to do. But could she have loved me? I ask myself that question everyday

(Flashback)

Carly: Wow. You seriously don't want to kiss me. Why?

Freddie: Because…I'm just bacon!

Carly: You're bacon?

Freddie: Foreign bacon!

Carly: Did that taco Truck hit you in your brain?

Freddie: Mmmmm.

Carly: I thought you wanted me to be your girlfriend since you met me.

Freddie: I have!

Carly: Well, I'm standing here with my lips all glossed up and you're treating me like I'm your icky cousin Amanda!

Freddie: Amanda is disgusting…

Carly: Freddie-

Freddie: Okay, remember when you always said you like me, but never in that way? You know, the good way?

Carly: Yeah but that was before-

Freddie: Before I saved your life?

Carly: So?

Freddie: Nothing's changed, I'm still the same Freddie and you're still the same Carly.

Carly: But I love-

Freddie: You love what I did, that I was willing to risk my life to save yours, but I don't think your in love with me, you just think you are.(Echoes)

(End Flashback)

I think about that conversation everyday. Why did I break up with her? Even worse, why did I listen to Sam of all people? The bane of my

existence the one who always can find time to make fun of or hurt me in every way possible. But either way I knew I had to face reality, I've been out

of my casts for three months now, and Carly hasn't looked at me the way she did when I was. Its amazing, I had come so close to being happy and

being with the girl that I loved, and now, I had lost that opportunity, probably forever. As I walked to my room wallowing that thought continuously in

my head I pulled down my Galaxy Wars framed poster. Behind it was a small button that no one knew that I had, except my mother. I pushed that

button and my computer and tech desk transformed into my own musical studio complete with electric piano, acoustic and electric guitar, and my own

sound system. I played a few keys on my piano then picked up my acoustic guitar, playing a few strings, then singing.

(Song: Life After You)
Ten miles from town
And I just broke down
Spitting out smoke
On the side of the road
I'm out here alone
Just trying to get home
To tell you I was wrong
But you already know
Believe me I won't stop for nothing
To see you so I started running

All that I'm after
Is a life full of laughter
As long as I'm laughing with you
I'm thinking that all that sill matters
Is love ever after
After the life we've been through
'Cause I know there's no life after you

(Sam's POV)

I was leaving Carly's apartment enjoying the ribs out of my purse. Yeah, mama still loves her meat. But anyway while I was closing the door
behind me I heard someone singing coming from Fredwardo's apartment. I leaned on the door and listened in.

(Back to song)

The last time we talked
The night that I walked
Burns like an iron
In the back of my mind
I must have been high
To say you and I
Weren't meant to be
And just wasting my time
Oh, why did I ever doubt you?
You know I would die here without you!

All that I'm after
Is a life full of laughter
As long as I'm laughing with you
I'm thinking that all that still matters
Is love ever after
After the life we've been through
'Cause I know there's no life after you.

You and I, right or wrong
There's no other one
After this time I spent alone

It's hard to believe that
A man with sight could be so blind
Thinking 'bout the better times
Must've been out of my mind
So I'm running back to tell you

All that I'm after
Is a life full of laughter
Without you God knows what I'd do, yeah!

All that I'm after is a life full of laughter
As long as I'm laughing with you
And I'm thinking that all that still matters
Is love ever after
After the life we've been through
'Cause I know there's no life after you

I know there's no life after you
I know there's no life after you
I know there's no life after you
I KNOW THERE'S NO LIFE AFTER YOU, YEAH!

(End Song)

It was then I heard a sigh after hearing that awesome sound. Many questions circled my mind. One was, Where was the dork hiding this talent

from us? And how did he hide it for so long? Mama's got a case on her hands and she's going to find something out.
