Hey guys so this is my new one-shot story. I'm just using this as an excuse to post average one-shots that don't see right to be their own story. I've also been inspired by shana852963. Her stories are the best. But enjoy my first one-shot for this story. And just note, this is kind of like a better version of the one-shots I have on WattPad.
One-Shot no. 1: iHave Dinner With Our Mums
(based off iCan't Take It & a random thought)
Sam and Freddie were cuddling on Freddie's bed. He was lazily drawing patterns and shapes on his girlfriend's arm while she was gently stroking his chest with one finger. They weren't speaking. That very moment was too perfect. They had just gotten back together after the fight about the whole N.E.R.D Camp application. Well technically they didn't break up but it sure felt like it to them.
Silence wasn't exactly Sam's best friend. She wasn't going to lie, the silence between the two at this moment was absolutely incredible since she was cuddling with her most favourite person ever. But she felt the need to break the ice and talk. I mean, they did almost break up.
"Freddie?" Freddie looked down at his girlfriend.
"Yeah Sam?" Sam took a deep breath in. "I'm so sorry about the whole N.E.R.D Camp thing. I was only thinking of myself at the time. And now your mum hates me even more." Freddie sat up and pulled Sam along with him.
"How many times do I have to tell you? It's okay! I wouldn't have wanted to go anyway."
Sam cocked her head to the side. "You're kidding me right? This was your dream! This was going to help you get into M.I.T! You know, that dream school of yours?"
Freddie just laughed. "Yeah well, that would've meant spending a whole month away from you… and I just can't do that."
Sam looked down as her cheeks turned a crimson red. "You really are one sappy nub."
Sam giggled as she leaned up to kiss her boyfriend. Freddie reciprocated and pulled Sam closer to his body whilst holding her tighter. They pulled away after five minutes. The couple rested their foreheads against each other, staring into their eyes lovingly.
"But about my mum…" That ruined the mood.
Sam groaned as she pulled away from Freddie's forehead. "I get it; she doesn't like me!"
Sam leaned back onto the bed. She really liked Freddie and she knew how much Freddie loved his mum even though she was a little bit crazy. Or a lot a bit crazy… but that was beside the point. Sam just wanted his family to accept her because she kind of wanted a future with Freddie. Even if he still was a nub.
"Well no, but she will give you a chance." Sam instantly shot up, intrigued.
"What do you mean Freddifer?" Freddie shook his head at his nickname. Classic Sam.
"Um, before you came over, my mum said she was willing to give you a chance." Freddie was acting so hesitant and Sam didn't know why. She was psyched that she might have a second chance on proving she was actually a good girlfriend to Fredie. You know, if you didn't include the insults and beatings.
"Stop acting glum! This is great! Now I can prove to your batty mum that I'm not all bad." Freddie stopped Sam and took her hand. She should've known there was a catch.
"Um, you see, the thing is… she wants to have dinner." Sam still didn't get it. She gave him a look saying 'and…?'.
"She wants to have dinner with you and your mum." Now she understood. Now she knew why Freddie was being so hesitant.
It was a stupid idea. Sam's mum was the complete opposite of Marissa! Pam liked to where bikinis around a dirty house. Marissa found ways to cover up every bit of skin on her body and remove any bit of dirt in the house.
"WELL I'M NEVER GOING TO PROVE MYSELF NOW!" Sam buried her face into Freddie's pillow, inhaling his scent.
"Well, maybe you can talk to your mum?" Sam looked up at him as if he said the dumbest thing ever… well to Sam he did. "You're right. Sorry."
Sam sat up and placed her head on his shoulder. "This is so dumb you know." Freddie kissed the top of her head.
"Yeah, I know."
...
Freddie drove Sam home and kissed her goodbye. Sam walked into her house and saw her mum lounging on the cough in a bikini (of course) chugging down a root beer whilst watching Celebrities Underwater.
"Hey Sammy. Where have you been?" Pam threw a shirt on and patted the seat next to her.
"Oh, just with Freddie." Sam sat on the couch with her mum. "Um mum? Can I ask you something?" Pam burped really loudly. Sam would usually grin with pride but this time she grinned.
"Sure Sam. What's up?" Sam started twiddling her thumbs. She really didn't want to ask but she knew she had to. For the sake of her and Freddie.
"As you know, I'm dating Freddie. And you know that he has a crazy mother." Pam nodded. "Well, um, she doesn't really like me and she said that she might give me a chance if the two of us have dinner with the two of them." Sam bit her lip anxiously, waiting for her mother's response.
"Sure." Pam said bluntly.
Sam was confused. Why did she not react the same way she did? "Um, you do know who Freddie's mum is… right?"
Pam nodded again. "Yeah, the one obsessed with soap and chiz."
Sam still didn't get it. Why was her mother so calm? "Mum, why are you acting so… relaxed? This is Freddie's mum!" Pam laughed and put her hand on Sam's shoulder.
"Sam, I know how much you really like this boy," Sam blushed deeply. "And making a good impression on his family is important. So, we can have dinner with them. And I'll promise not to get too crazy for the woman."
Sam laughed and hugged her mum. "Thanks mum, this really means a lot." Sam got up from the couch and walked to the chicken.
"Got any chicken pucks left? I'm starving."
...
It was the night of the dinner. The moment Sam and Freddie were dreading. Sure it seemed alright since Pam agreed but then it came to the actual night, they were really nervous. Sam was nonstop texting Freddie that whole day. She really just wanted to see her boyfriend right now.
Sam and Pam pulled up in the Bushwell Plaza carpark. They got out and Sam was really hesitant on going up. Sam looked at her mother and Pam smiled at her, reassuring Sam that it'll be okay. Sam was really proud that her mum cleaned herself up. She wore a pair of not so tight jeans, heeled boots and a sleeveless blouse. And obviously she had her lucky bikini underneath.
The two walked inside, to be not greeted by Lewbert as he was fast asleep on his desk and went up the elevator to apartment 8D. The elevator stopped inside their apartment but had a door blocking their way from entering the apartment. They noticed a little speaker and code on the door. Of course Mrs Benson installed some sort of security on the elevator.
Sam pressed the button to speak. "Um hello? It's Sam. Me and my mother are here." Freddie heard Sam speak through the speaker. Excitedly, he got off his bed and unlocked the elevator using the really long code. The door opened and Sam jumped into his arms.
"Hey baby." She whispered as she kissed him.
"Hey to you too. You look beautiful." Sam looked down. "You cleaned up nice too."
Soon Mrs Benson walked in. "Who's there Freddie? Is it that gutter girl and- oh. Well hello Samantha. I assume this is your mother." Marissa walked up to the two Pucketts.
"Yes I am. I'm Pamela, but I prefer Pam." Marissa was shocked at her politeness.
"Oh, well I'm Marissa. It's lovely to meet you. Why don't you sit down? Dinner will be ready shortly." Pam thanked Marissa and sat down on the couch.
"Um, is this couch new?" Referring to the plastic wrap still on it.
"Oh no, I've had that couch since Freddie was 11. The plastic keeps any germs away."
Sam and Freddie could see the look on Pam's face. She really didn't think this through.
"Oh, how interesting. So what are we having for dinner?" Marissa grinned as she pulled a tray out of the oven.
"We are having tofu pudding with a side of hearty vegetables that have been boiled to remove any harmful fats and bacteria." Pam cringed. So did Sam and Freddie. The couple knew this wasn't going to go as planned.
...
After the wonderful dinner, the four of them stayed seated at the dining table so they could have a chat. Sam and Freddie were secretly holding hands under the table to prepare for the worst.
"So, Pam, how do you feel about the two?" Sam stared at her mum waiting for an answer. "
Well I think they're doing very well. Freddie is such a wonderful boyfriend to my Sammy. She's been really happy ever since." Sam blushed and looked down. Freddie never realised how happy he made Sam.
"Well, it's nice to see that you agree with the relationship. However, I don't." Sam and Freddie could both feel their heart break. They knew this would happen.
"But, if really do make Samantha-" Sam interrupted.
"Sam." Marissa nodded.
"Right. If you make Sam happy, and you're happy Freddie, then I can't stop you from... coupling up."
The two teenagers were overjoyed. Their faces were gleaming with happiness. Mrs Benson approved of their relationship. It was what Sam and Freddie always wanted.
"Oh, thank you Mrs Benson!" Sam thanked her and hugged Freddie tightly. The two adults cracked a smile at the couple. "
Well I guess you two would want some alone time. You are dismissed." Still grinning, Sam and Freddie got up and went to Freddie's room, leaving Pam and Marissa to chat.
"Thank you for approving. Sam really wanted you to like her. As un-Sam like as that sounds, she really wanted to prove herself." Marissa smiled.
"Well I have noticed my Freddie-bear being a lot happier when she entered his life." Marissa got up and started picking up the dishes. Pam helped her clean up, still talking about their kids.
"So, have you ever had Sam been checked for ticks? Because I have this special Industrial Tick-" That's all Pam needed to hear to remember that Marissa was still a loon.
"SAM WE'RE GOING HOME!"
Sorry if this wasn't a good one-shot. It didn't exactly turn out how I wanted it to but I think it's alright.
