Hi. This is my first ICarly story. Please R&R
The DDC and the darkness dimensions
Chapter 1: The Dark offer and the strange, unexpected offer
Carly, Sam, Freddie, Gibby, and Jeremy are sitting in their classroom listening to Ms. Briggs drone on and on about bagpipes and other boring things. Carly is sitting in front of Sam and Freddie is sitting next to his good friends, Gibby and Jeremy. They happened to be talking about Freddie's relationship with Carly.
"So Freddie, did you finally get Carly to accept going out on a date with you?" asks Jeremy, who then sneezed.
"No, I haven't. Every time I try to put the moves on her, she rejects me, almost instinctively. It's almost like she fears me or something" says Freddie, who is disappointed that he was turned down by Carly, once again.
"Maybe you should give up on her. It's been like three years since you started putting the moves on her, and trying to get a date with her" says Gibby, who feels for his friend.
"I don't know, maybe I should. It's just, when I'm around her, it feels like I'm complete and that I can do anything I want to just as long as I'm with her" says Freddie.
"Well, if you feel that strongly about her, maybe we could try to help you get her" says Gibby.
Jeremy nods his head in agreement at the suggestion; however Freddie frowns and shakes his head.
"Sorry guys, I appreciate the offer, but if I'm going to win over Carly, I want to do it on my own. You guys can understand that, right?" asks Freddie.
Jeremy smiles and says, "Of course, we just thought you may have wanted help that's all".
Gibby nods in agreement. Sensing the end of that conversation, Gibby switches subjects and asks Freddie, "So are you going to still teach me the computer stuff that you do? I would love to learn it, that way when you and Jeremy talk about it, I won't get lost in the shuffle. Also Jeremy and I were discussing something. If I learn about the technical stuff, and if you, Carly, and Sam agree, Jeremy and I would love to be your technical assistants and work on ICarly with you guys.
Freddie thinks for a moment. Having technical assistants wouldn't be such a bad idea, especially when I need to step in front of the camera. Besides, I'm sure Carly and Sam would love to have more people working on ICarly. Ok, maybe not, Sam doesn't like Gibby, and both of them aren't too fond of Jeremy after he started being the technical producer while I was dating Valerie. But if we can do a better web show they would have to forgive their shortcomings, right? I hope so anyways.
"No offense, but the girls aren't too fond of you Jeremy and Sam straight up doesn't like you Gibby, but nonetheless, I'll talk to them after school about it. If they say yes, I'll let you know. In any case Gibby, one day soon you can come over to either mine or Carly's apartment and I can teach you about the 'techy' stuff."
"Ok, thanks Freddie" says Jeremy and Gibby simultaneously, with smiles on their face, although they were both thinking about what Freddie just said.
"No problem guys" says Freddie.
With their conversation over, the boys start paying attention to Ms. Briggs again. Apparently they didn't miss much of what she was teaching during their conversation, as she was still rambling on about the history of bagpipes. With one minute left of class, she makes a huge announcement.
"As you all may be aware of, I am retiring at the end of the year…"
The class shouts and applauds. They continued to do so until Ms. Briggs shouts "Quiet class!" The class immediately shuts up.
"Thank you. Now as I was saying, I am retiring at the end of the year, meaning that after 35 years of teaching I will finally be getting away from you brats. However, per Principle Franklin's orders, I have to throw an end of the school year party, and you are all invited. Before you all get excited and go into a chaotic frenzy again, in order to get into this party, you must do a report on the history of bagpipes. That is your final assignment and anyone who does not turn it in will not only get an F but will also not get into the party."
"Aw man, why don't you just make us drink out of a toilet?" shouts Sam, out of displeasure.
"Sam quiet, at least we get a party. She could have not invited us at all!" says Carly.
"Quite right, Ms. Shay. Now, I want all of you to have a fun and safe weekend and remember you only have two weeks to do that report!" says Ms. Briggs.
The bell rings just then, indicating the end of the school day and the beginning of two days of freedom. Jeremy and Gibby leave to go play the Wii at Gibby's house and, true to his word, Freddie goes to talk to the girls about Jeremy and Gibby joining ICarly. Freddie walks to Carly's locker and finds her and Sam giggling about something.
"What are you girls laughing at?" asks Freddie.
"Oh, hey there Freddork, we were just laughing about your crush on Carly. Just a reminder, Carly will never love you" says Sam.
Carly rolls her eyes as she knows another fight is about to insure between Sam and Freddie.
Some things never change think Carly and Freddie.
"At least I don't have a big ol' butt" retorts Freddie.
Just as Sam was about to lash out at Freddie for another "big butts" comment, Carly asks, "So what did you want Freddie?"
"Well before being insulted by the she-beast known as Sam, I came by to ask you and said she-beast if maybe Jeremy and Gibby could become my technical assistants on ICarly. They seem very interested, especially Gibby, and I figure I could use their help when I need to step in front of the camera."
Sam gives a look to Freddie that says "you're going to pay". Carly answers for the both of them with a "Why not? I mean we could use all the help we could get".
"What? I don't want Jeremy on the show. I mean Gibby is enough of a hassle when he's on our show" says Sam.
"Well, I don't agree. The segments we do with Gibby are funny and the audience loves him, and even though he was kind of a pain, Jeremy did help us out while Freddie was off being used by that skunk bag Valerie" says Carly.
Sam thinks for a minute then says, "Okay, fine, we'll give them a test run. If their good, they'll stay. If not, I'm personally going to kick them out of our studio"
Freddie frowns but agrees with Sam's proposition. "One more thing, since Gibby knows almost nothing about computers, I was going to teach him at my apartment, but now I think that we can all benefit from my teaching."
"If it'll get you to shut up, fine" informs Sam.
Sam then grabs Freddie and throws him into a row of lockers. Carly gasps and quickly runs to Freddie, and helps him get off the floor.
"Freddie, are you alright?" asks Carly, whose voice is full of concern.
"Ya, I'm alright" says Freddie to Carly. Freddie then asks Sam, "What was that for?"
"That was revenge for that big butts comment and she-beast comment" answers Sam.
Freddie rolls his eyes in annoyance and Carly sighs. She, Sam, and Freddie walk to Carly's apartment. Meanwhile, Valerie, Freddie's ex-girlfriend, and Jonah, Sam's ex-boyfriend walk towards a secure, undisclosed location to meet someone.
"Do you know where you're going?" Jonah asks.
"For the last time, yes!" Valerie exclaims.
"In any case, let's hope this person is safe" says Jonah.
Valerie rolls her eyes and Jonah sighs. After a 15-minute walk, they locate their destination. Jonah and Valerie look around.
"So where is he?" Jonah asks.
"I don't know, he said he was going to be here, so give him a few minutes" says Valerie.
Suddenly, from the shadows, comes out a kid.
"My name is Nevel Pappermin, owner and operator of Nevelocity. I brought you out here to make a proposition for you".
Valerie looks suspiciously at Nevel. "What kind of proposition?" she asks.
"One that would ruin ICarly."
Valerie and Jonah look at each other, then at Nevel.
"Keep talking" they say.
"I propose that we start our own web show, one that would knock ICarly right off the internet, and one that would make Carly, Sam, and Freddie look like chumps" says Nevel.
"Nevel, as good as that idea is, it won't work, I've already tried" says Valerie.
"Yes, but you haven't tried with me. With my technical genius, your charm, and Jonah's cunning, we would be unstoppable. We could become a world-famous international juggernaut" says Nevel.
"I must say, I do not completely trust you, but I do want revenge for those fools embarrassing me" says Valerie.
"May ICarly be destroyed by our crushing force" says Jonah and Valerie.
"Excellent" says Nevel, in the same voice as Mr. Burns from the Simpsons.
