A/N Hey there people-people! Sorry for not updating, but it had been the exam time for about a month, and my EOYs start tomorrow and it's a miracle that I'm even writing this now. So anyway, this story is what I would love to be a real episode.
iFake Date
Spencer was sitting on his couch, just enjoying his date with the neighbour a few units away, Glinda Glosswood. Sighing with satisfaction, he settled down with his popcorn and a movie, next to Glinda, though they both weren't interested in the movie.
"So, you live with your younger sister?" Glinda purred, her soft voice easily audible above the sounds of the movie.
"Well, yeah, I do." Spencer replied.
"And only your sister? You don't actually have any other woman friends?" Glinda seemed to be surprised.
"No one else, really." Spencer was starting to lose focus on the questions.
Glinda smiled. "That's good."
"Why?" Spencer turned to her but was greeted by her kiss. He started to get involved in the make out session...
...when the door flew open and Sam Puckett rushed in. Oblivious to the tender moment that she had interrupted and the wrath of Spencer's date, she dumped her bag on the floor and swung herself onto the sofa, between Spencer and Glinda.
"Hey, kid! Where's..."
"Carly and Freddie are at the Groovy Smoothie, still trying to debate with the two representatives from that new Penny Tee company." Sam replied, with a hint of irritation in her voice.
Spencer bit his lip. He could tell when Sam was upset. "And that's bothering you because..."
"Excuse me." Glinda snarled.
"Oh, right, Glinda, this is Sam. Sam, this is my girlfriend Glinda. She lives right down the hallway." Spencer explained.
"You and Carly seem to like your neighbours a lot." Sam smirked.
Spencer sighed. "I still think Griffin was a bad influence to Carly."
"But he's hot." Sam replied, her eyes fixated on the popcorn. "Can I have some?" She asked, gesturing to the bowl.
"Sure. There's plenty more in the kitchen if you want." Spencer leaned forward and picked up a piece of popcorn before feeding it to Sam.
Glinda decided that it was the appropriate time to interrupt the popcorn feeding.
"Hey." She started.
"You want some, Glinda?" Spencer picked up some more.
"Yeah, it's pretty good popcorn!" Sam chimed in.
Glinda was losing her patience, with good reason. "Spencer, I asked you if you had any other woman friends and you said no!"
"Yeah, so?" Spencer munched on more popcorn.
"And you didn't mention Sam!"
Sam rolled her eyes. "It's probably because Spencer and I have been friends for as long as Carly and I have been friends. About eight, nine years? Don't make me count."
Glinda's eyes seemed ready to pop out of her head.
"You lied, Spencer!" She pointed an accusing finger in Spencer's direction.
"Come on, Glinda! I just forgot!" Spencer stood up, trying to clear his name.
"Yeah, woman, he didn't mean to not tell you!" Sam stood next to Spencer.
If Glinda was angry before, she was exploding inside.
"Fine! Why don't I just leave, so that you two can enjoy each other!" She spun around and jerked the door open, before slamming it shut behind her.
Sam and Spencer just stared at the door.
Like Spencer, Sam could sense when he was feeling upset. Trying to cheer him up, she took a handful of popcorn and offered it to him.
Spencer just smiled sadly. "No thanks."
He sat down, this time with Sam beside him. "Maybe I should just give up on dating. Forever."
"I'm sorry, Spence. I wouldn't have come in if-" Sam was cut off by Spencer raising a hand.
"No, it's me at fault." He sighed again.
Sam sighed too, reminding Spencer of her earlier unhappiness.
"Oh yeah, why are you so upset about Carly and Freddie being together at the Groovy Smoothie?" Spencer's eyes grew big, and he continued, "Wait, do you like Freddie or something?"
"That dork?" Sam snorted.
"Tell me!" Spencer plastered a big grin onto his face. "Please? Please?"
Sam shook her head. "I'm not telling you my secrets, Spencer!"
"I'll be your best buddy." Spencer tried on Carly's puppy dog expression.
And Sam couldn't resist that expression.
"Oh, fine!" She snapped. "Yes, I like Freddie, okay?"
"How much?" Spencer just had to ask. Since she was in the mood for sharing, he might as well get to know as much as possible.
Sam shrugged. "How much do you like Glinda?"
"Not very much, since she walked out on me." Spencer replied.
"Okay, take that and multiply it by five. Or more. That's about how much I like Freddie." Sam mumbled. "And why are you even trying to keep Glinda, since she's so horrible?"
"I don't want to lose my date! If I could find someone else to date, I'll dump her, but I don't have anyone else!" Spencer tried not to make himself sound desperate, but failed.
Sam sighed, leaning against the back of the sofa. "If only I could date someone and make Freddie jealous."
Spencer leaned against the back of the sofa too. "If only I could make Glinda jealous too."
They lay there for a while.
Sam reached for the popcorn. "This is seriously the best popcorn I've ever tasted."
Suddenly, Spencer shot up.
"Say that again?"
"That again." Sam was engrossed in munching popcorn.
"No, say what you said before I told you to say that again!"
"About this being the best popcorn ever?" Sam groaned as she finished the last of the popcorn. "You have more in the kitchen, right?"
"Sam! No, say what you said before the best popcorn, before I told you to say that again!" Spencer wanted to pull his hair out. Just as he had the perfect plan, he had to forget it!
"Uh...I wanted to make Freddie jealous by dating someone else?"
"That's it, Sam, you're brilliant!" Spencer was grinning from ear to ear.
"Yay. Can I have popcorn now?" Sam eyed the kitchen.
Spencer stared at the kitchen too. "Okay."
After popping more popcorn, Spencer sat next to Sam and paused the movie.
"Why'd you-"
"Sam. Listen. I know the perfect way that Freddie will get jealous. You have to date a guy who is close to him and is his friend. And as for Glinda, she'll be jealous if I date someone who is close to me and has known me longer than I've known her." Spencer was serious, for once.
It was a good idea, too.
"Okay, one problem." Sam stated. "I don't think you will find someone close to you to date, and I will not date Gibby."
"No!" Spencer really wanted to pull his hair out right there and then. "I'll date you, it all fits!"
Sam thought about it for a while. "Oh, right. Sorry."
"So, are we dating?" Spencer asked.
Sam grinned. "Sure."
"Yay! Now let's eat popcorn!" Spencer was about to get the popcorn when Carly and Freddie entered the apartment.
"Hey Spencer, Sam." Judging from Carly and Freddie's faces, it was probably a bad time to break the news.
But they did anyway.
Standing together, Sam mumbled, "Carls? We're dating."
"Eh?" Carly wasn't listening. Freddie wasn't either.
"I said, I'm dating Spencer!" Sam yelled.
And it all seemed to sink in.
Carly whipped around. "What...you...him...what?"
Sam groaned inwardly. This wasn't the reaction she had expected of Carly. Although, she didn't even know what she expected Carly's reaction to be.
So her reaction was probably understandable.
Freddie's reaction was more satisfying. His eyes seemed to bug out from some emotion Sam couldn't read. Shock, disbelief, jealousy?
Spencer was right. This was a good idea.
A/N. So, what did you think? Sorry if it sounded rushed, but as I said earlier, I have exams tomorrow and I'm supposed to be studying now. I only got this idea after talking about fanfics with my friend. So anyway, thanks if you review today, if you don't, thanks for reviewing tomorrow ;)
