Sam has never kissed anyone.

When Sam Puckett ousted him on their live show for not kissing anyone, Freddie Benson couldn't bear to show his face at school. So he told his mom that he was super sick and missed a whole week. He refused to see anyone of his friends who came by the apartment to drop off homework. He told them to leave it at the foyer and to not bother coming in. He will admit it was rude of him to do that but he didn't want to see anyone. Especially with the humiliation looming over him. Half of his time was spent in bed re-watching Galaxy Wars and the other half was spent at the fire escape.

Freddie wished that he could hate Sam a little bit more. But he couldn't find it in himself to do it. They have been in this ongoing war with each other (him mostly on the losing side) and he should have known she was going to get back at him for handcuffing her to Gibby. He was not expecting her to tell the whole world he never kissed a girl and ruin his social life (or what was left of it). He was too mortified and emotional exhausted to care about hating Sam.

It kind of hurt to have someone you thought was your friend betray you like that. Even if that friend was your tormentor (or still is). Freddie thought that doing iCarly together and hanging out all the time made them friends but...guess not.

"For all you people out there who's been teasing Freddie about it, lay off! 'Cause I bet a whole lot of you haven't kissed anyone either…including me."

Freddie watched the iCarly live show that night because he wanted to see how they did without him as their technical producer (slightly hoping they do poorly). But he was not expecting to see Sam defend him and confess to the world that she also haven't kissed anyone. He almost didn't believe it.

Sam walked out of the studio after that and he won't admit that he had hoped to see her. Freddie smiled when he saw her walk up to the fire escape.

She apologized and they talked for the first time, a serious talk. Something that wasn't their usual banter and yell-fest. Freddie saw a much vulnerable side of Sam for the first time and this must be the side of her that Carly sees. This Sam looks down, avoids eye contact, and mumbles her words.

Perhaps it was their common lack of kissing experience, the vulnerable side of them, or the song coming out of his speakers that set the mood that made him come up with that stupid idea that they should be each other's first kiss. He was expecting her to punch him but she surprisingly agreed to it.

So there at the fire escape of the Bushwell Plaza, he shared his first ever real kiss with Sam Puckett, his tormentor since he was eleven and sort of friend.

Sam values her friendship with Carly.

There were plenty of times where Freddie questioned why Carly was even friends with Sam.

Sam was rude, crass, ate way too much, cleaned way too little, went to Juvie, and overall the complete opposite of the sweet and caring, Carly Shay. Despite Sam's flaws, the brunette constantly showers the blonde with unconditional love and always willing to do anything for Sam. There was several moments where Sam would show the same amount of love towards the Shay sister but not as much as Carly.

Freddie would have assumed that Carly would have been best friends with someone who was closer to her personality, someone that was not…Sam.

Then Missy showed up and Sam insisted that she was out to get her. Freddie had initially pushed her theory about the redhead. Missy was nice, she seemed to mesh well in the iCarly crew, Carly never argued or lecture her because she was actually responsible. Freddie just assumed that Sam was jealous that she had to share Carly with another girl. But when she showed up at his door with her head down, solemn expression on her face, Freddie knew it wasn't a joke.

"'Cause I came here. Have I come here for help before? For anything?" Sam said and Freddie wasn't sure how to answer that. As much as she tried to hide it, Freddie could see she was hurt. Not that she would admit that. Sam shook her head and turned to the elevators. "I'm losing my best friend." He heard her mutter as she walks away.

Freddie felt bad for her for the first time.

That night, he laid in his bed thinking about what she said and the implications that she was going to get kicked out of their friend group by some girl Carly knew a long time ago. He then remembered the moments when Sam was a best friend to Carly. Sam protected Carly and defended Carly like her life depends on it. And as sweet as Carly was, she was extremely idealistic and naïve. Sam was the one to bring back into reality and tell her the truth no matter how harsh it may be. Their friendship may be weird but they complimented each other, two peas in a pod. And those two made iCarly interesting. Having Missy on the show would be like having two Carlys and one was enough.

So when Freddie opened his email the next morning that said he won that "School at Sea" cruise, he gave it to Missy because she would leave. If anyone asked, he did it for the webshow. He swears it was for the webshow.

Sam actually does have a twin.

Freddie was starting to warm up to the idea that perhaps, maybe, Sam does have a twin sister. There was a lot of hints that lead to this thought.

The first one was when he visited her house after that date. He started to look around a bit more and noticed the differences between pictures. One picture would have a picture of Sam with her hair down, messy and unkempt, and a scowl etched on her face. Another picture would have another Sam with her blonde hair up in a neat ponytail, bangs brushed in the front instead of the side sweep that he was used to seeing, and a with a wide smile. The clothes were different as well. One would have on pants and the other wearing a dress. Maybe they were two different people.

The second time was when he received texts from the "mythical Melanie" saying how she was super excited to see him again. He looked up from his PearPhone and watched as Sam was situated directly across from him at the Shay's kitchen table with her phone nowhere in sight. Her hands were busy picking at the chicken in front of her and he looked back down at his phone to see the other person on the text was typing. Strange…

The third time was when the three of them were in the iCarly studio and Sam was talking to her sister on the phone. He would have brushed this off but she then put the call on speaker because she needed to handle something and didn't feel like holding her flip phone. Freddie was at his laptop when he caught the pitch of the voice at the other end was slightly higher and had more cheeriness that he recognized.

The last time was the moment that sealed the fact that Sam was indeed a twin. The Shay's private elevator opened and he turned his head from the computer monitor to see who have arrived. The elevator door lifted up and he was met with the sight of two Sams. Or Sam and Melanie. It was almost as if they copied and pasted a person. They were definitely identical besides their difference in attire, hairstyle and vocal tone.

"Told ya." Sam said as she walked past him to flopped on the couch and turned on the television. Freddie was speechless.

Melanie beamed at him and waved her hand at him that looked a lot like flapping as she tip toed off the elevator. "it's so great to see you again, Freddie!" She then took a seat on the edge of the couch because Sam took majority of it, sprawled on it with eyes glued on the television screen.

Yeah, Sam definitely has a twin.

A/N: Storytime with me. I haven't written anything for this site in a loooonnnggg time and I have been watching iCarly episodes because of nostalgia. iCarly will remain the best show nickelodeon will ever make. This chapter takes place in Season 2 and after the infamous first kiss episode. I did try to insert another section but my brain completely blanked out so I'm sorry.

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed it and reviews and suggestions are welcomed! :)
