Hey guys. Here I am bringing you another story. And I must say that this chapter was so easy to write and I don't know why because to think of an idea for the first chapter was so hard. But as soon as I started writing, it just came to me. I also want to clear this up; I got the idea for this story from talking to my sister about my "Danny Phantom, She's No Angel" I also added the famous SeddieMania as a reoccurring role in the story. And I know Sam is OOC, just live with it lol. So I hope you guys like it. And Read and Review.
I do not own iCarly, I do not own "Not That Far Away", and I do not own all the plays and Designers mentioned in this chapter.

He sat in the back of the taxi cab looking out the window. He couldn't believe that he had moved from Seattle all the way to California. He had just graduates from college. He was so lucky that he had gotten this job. He was going to be learning the ropes from the infamous Carly Shay talent manager. At such a young age, she has made the career of so many celebrities. She had told him on the phone that when he arrives to California, that their main focus was the career of one of her closest friends. She wouldn't say who, but either way, he would find out shortly.
The cab pulled up to the Staples Center. He paid the cab driver and got out of the cab. He started to walk towards the entrance. He saw the doors open and saw a woman with medium long dark brown hair, wearing a powder blue button down blouse, a black pencil skirt, and 4 inch stiletto heals. She took her Dolce and Gabbana sunglasses from the top of her head and put them on her face. She looked at the man who had just arrived. "A cab? Seriously?" She muttered to herself. She walked up to him. "Freddie Benson? Carly Shay. Pleasure to finally meet you."
Freddie held out his hand so he could shake hers. "The pleasure is all…"
Carly turned around "Yes I know." She said as she started to walk back towards the entrance. "Walk with me newbie." Freddie walked next to Carly. "Okay, so no more taxi's. None of these drivers in this town can keep their mouths shut." Carly opened the door and walked in with Freddie. As they continue to walk, Carly took out her RedBerry and dialed a number. "Hey Scott, I need you to get the new PR, Freddie a company car." She hung up. "Okay, when she gets here I want you not to speak and to just listen. And when I tell you to make a reminder, do it." Carly and Freddie enter the stadium, seeing a huge stage setup.
"Um okay, but I didn't bring anything to write with… or on." Freddie said nervously.
"Yes, I can see that." Carly said as she was typing on her cell phone. "SCOTT!" Carly yelled. In no time a man came out holding a Pear box, "Give it"
"Yes Ms. Shay." Scott said as he handed her the box.
"That will be all." Scott still stood there. "Leave" Carly said annoyed. Scott walked away. Carly looked at Freddie and pulled out something out of the box. "This is your PearPad. Take it everywhere you go. Feliz Navida," She said as her phone began to ring, "Hey hun… Okay, I'll be out there in a bit." Carly hung up the phone, "Okay everyone, she's here. So start working harder." Carly turned to Freddie. "You, stay here." Carly exited the stadium.
'I wonder who she is' Freddie thought to himself.
…
She was sitting in the back of the limo. Oh how she hated going to places in limos. She could kill Carly for arranging this, but she'd her best friend. She never hurt Carly. She felt her phone vibrate. She pressed the screen to read the text. It read…
Good Luck sweetheart.
I miss you. I'll see you soon.
I love you.
-Mom"
She smiled at the message and texted back a simple 'I love you too Mom' She put her phone back into her Marc Jacobs purse. She took out a purple pen and a notebook with a picture of New York City at night. She opened to a page where it read on the top 'Not That Far Away'. She started to write more to the page. The notebook page read so far…
Not That Far Away
(Verse 1)
They're playin' guitars with stars their eyes on Broadway
They're just paying their dues and waitin' for news on a big break
I wish you were here
Cuz sometimes I get lonely
Guess I'm not the only new girl in town
(Chorus)
Mama I promise I'll be alright
I'll call to say I love you every night
I'm just tryin' to write the story my life
You know all about this dream I gotta chase
I get a little closer everyday
California is not that far away
I'm not that far away
"Miss?" She looked up. "We will be arriving there shortly."
She smiled at the driver "Thank you" She closed her notebook and put the back in her purse. She took out PearPhone and dialed Carly. "Hey Carls… I'll be there in about two minutes… Alright." She hung up the phone and placed it back in her pursed. She put her long blonde curly hair in a pony tail. She grabbed her Jimmy Choo heals that were on the floor of the limo and put them on. She felt the limo stop. She sighed as she put her Chanel sunglasses on and grabbed her Skybucks coffee that was in the cup holder. The driver opened the door and helped her out. She looked around and spotted her best friend. She smiled. "Carly" she squealed.
Carly ran over to her best friend. "Sam" She hugged her tight. "How was your flight?"
Sam rolled her eyes. "Way too long"
"Well get use to it because next week you'll be going back to do your final show." Carly said as she and Sam walked inside. "So where's Gregor." (A/N If you can tell what show I got this name from I'll put you in the next chapter, here's a hint. I wrote many stories of the show. First person gets put in the next chapter.)
Sam scoffed "That nub? He just wanted me for the press. He always tipped the paps where we were going."
"That's the male population for you, all jerks"
Sam laughed "I couldn't have said it better myself." She said as they entered the stadium. "Oh Carly, I said a simple stage to practice on would do," Sam rolled her eyes.
Carly smiled "Nonsense, you deserve the best…. SCOTT!" Carly yelled. Scott came running with a mic, handing it to Carly.
"Hey Scott" Sam said to Scott.
"Hello Ms. Puckett." Scott said nervously.
Carly looked at him. "Don't speak to her." Carly put the mic to her mouth. "Okay. The reason why you have been working so hard is here. She starred in 3 sitcoms as a child. And a handful of plays on Broadway. Les Mis, Beauty and The Beast, Legally Blonde the musical, Hair, Lend Me a Tenor, Mamma Mia, The Phantom of the Opera, South Pacific, West Side Story, and she will be closing her Broadway career in Wicked next week. I present you…. Samantha Puckett." Sam rolled her eyes.
The whole stadium broke out in applause. Freddie couldn't help but look at her. She was gorgeous. He shook his head to shake the thought from his head. This was the person he would be working for. He needed to be completely professional with her. Freddie then walked to Carly.
Carly looked at Freddie "Oh Sam, this is Freddie Benson. Your new PR."
Sam smiled at Freddie not losing eye contact with him. She took Freddie's hand and shook it. "Very nice to meet you, I'm Sam."
Freddie smiled back "Nice to meet you too."
Carly rolled her eyes and pulled their hands apart. "Hey remember Freddie, don't speak, and just listen." Freddie nodded.
Sam rolled her eye at her best friend's comment. "Carly, have you ever thought of actually being nice to your employees?"
Carly chuckled "Sam, fear is a stronger emotion."
"Carls, you couldn't even scare Frothy." Sam laughed
"Sam, that cat is psycho. Please tell me you didn't bring him to Cali."
"Whatever, and yes I did." Sam laughed
"Anyways, Freddie start taking reminders. Sam we're having rehearsal everyday from 6am to 5pm. I have guys working on your condo, so it will be ready by the time we get back from New York. You have interview on The View and The Today Show, the day after we get there. Also, Freddie I need you to contact the pilot the number is on the emails I sent you this morning. I need you to tell him the Sam, me, you, and Scott will be on the plane and to be ready on Wednesday at 4am, Okay?" Freddie nodded. "Okay, which reminds me… SCOTT! BRING ME FREDDIE'S REDBERRY" Scott came out running. "Thank you" Carly took the phone from Scott and handed it to Freddie. "This is you company phone, you only use it for work purposes. Now go make some calls and Sam get on stage and start rehearsing."
…
"Because I knew you. I have been changed, for." Sam took a paused "Good" The crew started clapping her when she finished singing. Sam smiled "Thanks"
Carly grabbed the mic. "Great job Sammy. Take a break."
Sam smiled and walked off of the stage. She went to the snack table and grabbed a water bottle. As she turned around, she felt herself crashing into someone, making the person fall back and landing on top of them, "Oh my gosh, I am so sorry. I should have been paying more attention to where I was going…"
Freddie laughed "It's okay. I'm fine Ms. Puckett."
Sam chuckled "Please call me Sam." She said as she smiled down at him
Freddie smiled at her, looking into her blue eyes. "Okay. Sam"
"SAM" They heard and looked at the direction the voice was coming from. "Oh jeez. Sam stop dry humping the new guy and come on. We're going to lunch." Carly said waiting for Sam.
"Coming" Sam smiled "See you later." Sam said as she got off of Freddie and walked to Carly.
Carly grabbed Sam's arm as they started to walk out. "What was that about?" Carly whispered.
Sam blushed "Nothing"
Freddie watched the two girls walk off. He was in trouble. HE was falling for Samantha Puckett.
