(Carly's POV)
Another normal day at Ridgeway...
Walking towards my locker, like always.
Though, I have noticed that only one-third of the school population is here.
Freddie and Sam aren't here...yet.
What's this? A note?
(The Note:)
We need to talk to you, after school, at the front of the school.
Freddie and Sam
Uh, oh. What are they going to say? Are they going out? That's not possible! Still, I don't know why they would send a letter.
Wouldn't they just tell me? I guess I have to wait until after school.
I slowly walked away and tried to understand what the note meant.
(Freddie's POV)
That's unusual...
Carly isn't here, which is weird. Sam is almost never here, which never worries me.
Another note. I hope it's not from Sam again.
(The Note:)
We need to talk to you, after school, at the front of the school.
Carly and Sam
I hate these long, useless bickering about 'useless topics'.
This will be the last ranting session I will be joining. After this chat, I won't be interested in this non-sense.
I have to get to class, I'll deal with this later.
(Sam's POV)
Stupid school, making me do a sea of homework for no reason.
Note...on MY locker?
Hm...
(The Note:)
We need to talk to you, after school, at the front of the school.
Carly and Freddie
Why the front of the school? Well, I don't care.
Now, let me get out of these prison yards, which also mean the school walls.
Later...
Since I have been waiting for Carly and Freddie, I should roam around for no reason.
(Over-all Narration)
Carly, Sam and Freddie were all nearing the front of the school.
"I wonder what's the problem this time," Freddie asked.
All three met at the place where they needed to be.
"Why did you ask me to go here?" all of them asked at the same time.
"Wait, what? This makes no sense," Sam said.
"I know, if alll of us didn't send each other those notes, then who did?" Carly questioned.
"We did," a voice replied.
(Sam's POV)
I turned around first, since I'm the toughest.
I saw three people, a girl and two boys.
"Who are you guys?" I asked.
"Troop members, we got sent by a guy named Spencer Shay." The girl replied.
"My brother sent you guys?" Carly wondered.
"Yes." One of them answered.
"I'm Felix," the dorky-looking guy said.
"Haley," the girl followed.
"Jake," the last teenager mimicked.
"Wait, Troop members? What in the world is that?" I asked.
"I know, the Troop is a group of teenage hunters. They are known to protect people, and capture monsters," Freddie explained.
(Freddie's POV)
I know everything.
"Wait, so you know?" Felix discovered.
I nodded.
"How?" Haley questioned.
"Before my dad disappeared, he was a Troop Leader. I practically was a Troop member myself," I replied.
"That must mean that Spencer was a Troop member before your dad was gone," Carly guessed.
"Yeah, but he might have joined when he was older. Like 20, more or less," Felix calculates.
"Times-a-wastin', come on!" Jake leaded us to the school.
We got in the school, again.
"Does your school have a security card system?" Haley asked.
Haley asks all the questions, seriously.
"Yeah, over there," I showed them.
Then, they took out these folder-looking card things and the machine scanned them.
Luckily, the door opened.
"Come. This leads to the Troop base." Haley commented.
The elevator went down and down...
"Oh, here we are!" Felix said.
The elevator doors open, revealing technology as far as the eye could see.
"Whoa, it's like all of the new age techno things have been jammed into a room," Sam responded to what we all see.
"Pretty cool, eh?" Jake questioned.
I turned around to look at Jake and said, "When do we start?"
"We start now, iCarly gang!" Spencer emerged out of nowhere.
(Spencer's POV)
"Yes Jake, it is pretty cool, but don't tell Mr. Stocks," I answered.
"We won't, Mr. Shay," Haley confirmed.
The three continued walking to the elevator and left.
"Spencer! How did you do all of this? Does Dad know about this?" Carly questioned.
"Both, I don't know the answer to. But I do know that you guys need to go read some of the Troop Grid."
"Some of it? Can't I just read it all?" Carly asked.
"The Troop Grid is an endless list of monster hunting strategies, little sister."
"Okay, what's our first mission?" Freddie questioned.
"We... I mean, you guys start at the simulator. I'll just call you three when we get the first mission," I confirmed.
"Hey, there's a week left until Christmas!" Carly announed.
"Well, let's get this simulator thing over with!" Sam pointed to the wrong direction.
"It's that way," I corrected.
(Sam's POV)
"Wait, what does the Troop hunt?" I asked.
"Monsters," Spencer replied.
