iRise to Stardom
Chapter 1: iGet A Phone Call
Shay Apartment
7:19 PM
"Fredwina, Freduccini, Fredloser..."
"Hey Sam, what are you doing?" Carly asked, pouring water on a glass of lemonade. She got straw, a red one, and sipped her drink. She smiled as soon as her tongue tasted the flavor of her refreshment.
"Oh, just making a list of Freddie's nicknames." Sam replied casually, looking at the long list. "I'm going to need this someday."
Carly raised an eyebrow, wondering what it was for. She continued sipping her juice and made funny expressions after each sip. Poor Freddie, Sam's plotting something again.
The door opened and a boy in blue stripes entered. He was holding a laptop on his right hand and the left one carrying his backpack. His hair was neatly cut, as how he always fixed his hair. His physical features changed over the years too, getting stronger and taller. Freddie Benson, the tech producer of iCarly, had gotten more masculine. It's about time! Sam would say whenever he brings up the subject.
"Hey Carly, hey Sam." Freddie greeted them, slumping his bag on the other side of the couch, away from where Sam was sitting. He was afraid that his backpack would be made into another punching bag by the blond demon. "Check this out."
Freddie sat beside Sam and showed her the number of viewers from last night's show. Carly peeked on the monitor and her jaw dropped. "No way. Oh my God!"
"Dude, this is insane!" Sam exclaimed. "I can't believe it!"
"Yes indeed, we've got 8, 471, 569 views!" Freddie confirmed, looking at Carly's expression. Oh, how I love her smile.
"Oh my gosh!" Carly and Sam said in unison. Sam jumped out of joy and Carly went to hug her. They kept screaming until Spencer showed up and hugged them.
"Oh my gosh!" Spencer yelled, joining the two. "Okay, what's happening here?"
The three of the pulled away. "We've got 8, 471, 569 views for last night's show!" Carly told him happily. "More than eight million!"
"Yeah, I bet the whole world watched us last night! I mean, it's our 200th iCarly Spectacular!" Sam added. "This is freaking amazing!"
"Well, this calls for a celebration! To the Groovie Smoothie!" Spencer pointed his index finger towards the door.
"Yeah baby!" Freddie rejoiced. The three teenagers followed Carly's brother. Spencer was about to open the door when the phone rang.
"Talk about bad timing." Spencer muttered under his breath. He walked lazily to the phone but Carly grabbed his arm.
"No, I'll get it." The dark haired girl made her way to the small, black thing and answered it. "Hello?"
Silence filled the apartment. Sam rolled her eyes. "Oh, come on. I'm starving! Freddella, you buy me some burger."
Freddie threw her disgusted look. "No way, Sam! You owe me more than a hundred bucks and you-"
"Hush, be quiet!" Carly hissed.
Freddie stomped his feet and whined. "Sam started it!" It's Sam's fault, not mine!
"Freddie!" Carly snapped.
Sam stuck her tongue out. "Haha, good for you, dork. Carly hates him now."
"Wow, Sam." Freddie clapped his hands silently. "Very mature."
"Bleh."
"Bleh." He imitated her.
Spencer shook his head, smiling at the two. Kids these days. He sighed. "Guys, let's just wait outside until Carly finishes her conversation with Mr. Mystery Caller. Come on." Spencer gestured to the door. Seconds after that, Carly screamed.
"Oh my God! Guys, I have some good news!" Carly ran to Sam, dropping the phone to the floor. She didn't seem to notice it.
"We won a one year supply of ham? Oh my, this is good!" Sam grinned.
"No, much better than that!" Carly said excitedly.
"A two year supply?" Sam guessed, rising her hopes high.
"Sam!" Carly giggled. "We're now celebrities!"
"Well yeah, we already are. After what-"
"I mean, we're actors and actresses! You know, walking down the red carpet," Carly put her hand on her waist and started walking gracefully just like what models do in America's Next Top Model. "Sign autographs, take pictures with photographers, get on T.V., endorse products-"
"Get on T.V.?" Freddie repeated. "What the—Carly, are you sure isn't that some kind of prank or something?" He raised an eyebrow.
"No Freddie, of course not! Dan Schneider phoned me!"
"That name's familiar. Where did I hear it? Hmmm..." Spencer put a hand on his chin and started to think.
"He's one of the most amazing scriptwriters! He works for Nickelodeon!" Carly answered him.
"Oh right!" Spencer snapped. His face lightened. But then he frowned. "No, no. I'm sure I've seen him somewhere. I just can't remember where and when."
"Forget it Spencer. Let's go to the Groovie Smoothie!" Carly reached for the door knob and went outside.
Somewhere in California
Around 12:00 midnight
"Ah! Now I can get some sleep!"
The blond haired girl snuggled to her dad's side and cuddled him with kisses. "Welcome home, Daddy!"
He smiled, curled up to his side and started tickling the cute little girl. "Did you miss Daddy?"
The girl couldn't stop laughing. Her giggles filled the chilly air in the room. "Stop it! Mom-" She paused letting out a small scream, a huge grin forming in her small mouth. "Mommy, help me!"
The bathroom door opened and a lady in her early thirties appeared. She was wearing a pink bathrobe and her hair wrapped in a yellow towel. She whipped her hair and removed it and started drying. "I know you missed Daddy but honey, it's time to go to sleep. It's past midnight."
Finally, her papa stopped tickling the child and fell flat on the bed, longing for a good night's sleep. It was 12:23 PM, the man with tawny brown eyes just got home from his tiresome work. He's got some eye bugs under his eyes and looked haggard.
The little girl hugged him and kissed him in the cheek. "Good night Daddy. See you tomorrow morning-I mean, later." She giggled.
Her mom smiled as she got off the bed and opened the door to leave. "Good night, sweetie."
The door closed and with that, the lady sat down on the bed. She felt something wrap around her waist and saw her husband's arm.
"I missed you, hon. I've been at work for three days; I can't stand not seeing you and Jeanne."
"I know, I know." The woman smiled. "I love you."
"I love you too." He replied. "Monday will be a big day."
She gave him a quizzical look. "What about Monday?"
"I just discovered something interesting." He smirked.
"Dan?" She shot him a just-say it look.
"Fine." Dan gave up. "Let me give you a clue; it's got something to do with the names Carly, Sam and Freddie."
"You mean the iCarly? Jeanne loves that show!" The woman said happily.
"Yes, Lisa. And those kids are going to rise to stardom." Dan smiled.

Hey people! This is my second Seddie fanfic! Well, do you love it? Or hate it? :D What do you think of this? Want to read your comments! =)
This story is way too different from my first Seddie fanfic. I think I need to take a break from all the dark stuff. Hehe. I want this to be more "iCarly-ish", as many of you want it to be. There you have it.
Also, I am dedicating this to TnxDan who has helped me with everything. Of course to all the reviewers of iTurn Back in Time (special thanks to Dude Your Awesome because he/she leaves a review in EVERY chapter I publish) ! =)
I don't own anything of this except my imagination and the characters I added. iCarly isn't mine. :)
