Summary: Sam goes back to Seatle for Carly's birthday, and finds a letter...from her father

A/N: This is my first real fanfiction, so please be nice.

Disclaimer: I do not own iCarly or Sam&Cat. If I did, I wouldn't be writing fanfiction.

Sam was sitting cross-legged on the couch in her and Cat's apartment, doing her online lessons. Suddenly, her phone rang.

"Yes! Thank you!" She said, slamming her PearBook shut and diving her her phone. Glancing at the caller ID, she answered, slighly puzzled.

"Spencer?"

"Sam!" Spencer yelled into the phone. "Guess what?!"

"What?"

"Carly'scomingbackforherbirthdayandwe'rehavingapartyto-"

"Woah, Spencer." Sam laughed. "Slow...down."

"Sorry."

"Now what were you saying?"

"Carly's coming back to Seatle for her birthday! We're throwing her a party!"

"Holy chiz! She's really coming back?!" Sam jerked upright, excited.

"Yes! You gotta come, please!"

"I don't know," Sam sighed. "My mom wasn't excatly happy about me moving here, and if I went back home..."

"Stay here." Spencer offered.

"Seriously?"

"You pretty much lived here anyway. Besides, Carly's way excited to see you again."

"I'll talk to Cat and see if she's okay with babysitting solo for-how long is Carly staying?"

"About a week, she'll be here in two days but you need to get here before her to SURPISE her!"

"So now it's a surprise party?"

"Just come early I'm so lonelyyyy." Spencer whined

"Fine." Sam smiled. "I'll be there tonight. I just gotta tell Cat."

"Hurryyy!"

"Okayyyyy. Bye Spencer, see ya tonight."

Sam hung up and smiled, feeling oddly nervous. In two days she would see her best friend, whom she hadn't seen in over a year. She would be staying with her for an entire week.

She shook her head. She was her best friend! She doubted Spencer and Freddie-

Freddie. She groaned. She hadn't talked to him since their dinner together after the killer tuna jump fiasco. How would she handle that?

She rolled her eyes, jumped up, and resolved to worry later. Right now, she had to pack.

A/N: So what do you think of chapter 1? I know the feel is kinda off, but it will get better, I promise. If there's anything you'd like to see (e.g, Cat's reaction to Sam telling her she's leaving for a week to see her best friend), please review and tell me! I can't improve if I don't know what I did wrong!
