Quicktip: I own none of the iCarly content. NONE. So don't think I do, did, or ever have or will.

Chapter One: The Downward Spiral

"Alright, in 5... 4... 3... 2... ". Ah, a refreshing change, Carly thought. A long and boring day was about to be spiced up and made into something eventful. Launching headfirst into the greetings, the show was heading a little faster than usual. Possibly, she thought, because she and Sam had came up with more skit-oriented ideas, and made up for the short times with more of them. However, no matter how much she tried, she couldn't shake the thought of the news earlier that day.

"...which brings us to the main story tonight. The United States seems to have lost a major ally due to a misunderstanding during an earlier UN conference. Minor worries have arisen due to the fact that the ally in question harbors many nuclear weapons, which we have been covering all week."

"Hey, Carls, the show?" A whisper, followed by a nudge, broke the memory. The familiar face of Sam stared back, a welcome break, and pointed at the camera. "There are kinda alot of people sitting at their computers, with the same blank expression you have. Get it together!" She looked at the camera, and smiled.
"Yeah, sorry! Just was lost in thought." Carly knew she had to keep her cool for the rest of the show, and maybe then lose herself in thought.
"And with that, we want to reveal a new segment we call.." Sam jumped and waved as Carly followed. "The creepy things I never needed to know but will now share with you!" Sam smiled, and began. "Such as, that whole 'every cockroach you see, there's 10 more you didn't see', thing." They shivered. "Bad things."
"Very bad." Carly agreed, and shook her head, trying to clear any association to the word Nuclear that was floating in her head. She simply laughed, and began to wait for Sam to say something. Again, she began to see that that word wasn't going to leave anytime soon.
"Those things are like Freddie. Small, ugly, and probably able to survive an Atomic Bomb." Sam imposed, met with a groan from Freddie.
"Was that necessary?" He asked from the cart.
"Yes, yes it was." Sam replied, before pulling out a small DVD she had placed on the table, and handing it to Freddie. With much hesitation and harassment, he played the video. It was nothing more than an animation of Freddie's head on a cockroaches body, as it scurried around. He shut it off, and gave the disk back. "Where did you get that?" He mused.
"I know people, don't think you are the only one who knows what a processor is." Sam laughed. She could see Freddie was irritated, but that just meant she was winning. At least, in her little mind game. He approached her and asked her who it was then. Sam just laughed it off before shoving him back to the cart. This was a moment that would play back in Carly's head multiple times in the next few months, as it was the last real thing she remembered.

As Freddie hit the cart, a deafening smash was heard in the distance, followed by blinding light. The light was soon followed by a searing heat that nearly knocked her down, and a horrible cacophony of hellish qualities. The last thing Carly heard was the sound of screaming, accompanying a large towering cloud.

There is the short, generic into chapter. Keep in mind this was written at 5:30 in the morning, so a few mistakes here and there might be present. However, I do think my best writing comes in the early hours. /shortest rant I have had so far.
