iGet A Surprise Present

Chapter 1

Sam grabbed the ham from the Shay's fridge and plopped down at the couch. In 2 minutes there would be the newest episode of Girly Cow on tv. She was alone. Spencer was sleeping, Carly was shopping at the mall and Freddie was at home, as far as she knew.

Her thoughts were interrupted by Carly who headed through the door.

"Ah, Sam! What a nice coincidence you're already here! I have something to talk to you about." Carly was in a good mood.

"Oh, really. Anyways, can't that wait after I watched Girly Cow?"

"No, Sam. It's important! Are you actually willing to listen to me sometimes?"

"Come on. Don't make such a fuss! Just spit it out!" The impatience showed in Sam's face.

"Have you already planned something for your 16th birthday?"

"Nope." Sam had no clue what Carly was up to.

"Good." Carly said, smiling widely.

The alarm bells in Sam's head started to ring. Sounded somewhat suspicious to her…

"Have YOU anything planned?" The blond sounded like an inquisitor now.

"No…" The brunette tried to make an innocent impression.

"Yeah, right. Come on, I'm not THAT dumb!"

"OK. OK. Please calm down. I hate it when you are yelling, remember?"

Sam just shrugged her shoulders.

"I thought it would be nice if you'd throw a birthday party. I mean, you only turn 16 once in life."

"You're right but I don't care anyway."

Sam shrugged her shoulder again and made her way to the fridge. All that talking stuff had made her stomach growl. If she couldn't watch tv because of Carly she wanted to at least eat some ham. There had to be another ham in there!

Carly panicked when she saw she wasn't getting anywhere with this conversation.

"You can't not care about your 16th birthday! You're a girl after all!" Now Carly was the one yelling.

Sam's eyes narrowed a little.

Crap. Suddenly Carly realized even she as her besr friend didn't have the right to say something like that to Sam. If she had been Freddie she might had that ham in her face right now…

"Of course I am a girl! Any doubts?"

Surprisingly, Sam didn't seem to be hurt at all. But that was only on the outside. Nobody should see how hurt she was. Sam was conscious about the fact she wasn't very "girly" at all, but still she was somewhat "proud" to be a girl.

Carly decide to apologize.

"Hey, what's up, you two? I hope you weren't discussing iCarly ideas without me?" Freddie entered the room.

"What has it to do with you? You're only the tech geek!"

To prevent them from bickering Carly quickly explained "Actually, no. We were talking about Sam's 16th birthday. She told me she didn't plan on throwing a party!"

With her eyes she pleaded him to support her.

"Yeah, I think that would be a nice idea!"

"Shut up, Fredweird! What can someone like you know about parties?"

"Everyone knows parties are fun." He tried to defend himself. Useless. Sam had clearly won this argument. It was her 768th win in a row.

"Have I already mentioned that there will be a LARGE BUFFET? And when I say LARGE, I mean it." Carly knew, how to "convince" her best friend.

"That sounds like fun! OK, I'm in. But we have to make sure the buffet is really LARGE!"

"Sure you can count on me. I'll organize everything."

Freddie was in his room, sitting in front of the computer. He was working on a new HTML code to update .

He thought about the conversation from earlier. So Sam would be throwing a birthday party… It seemed like it was time to think about a suitable present. Not to mention what mischiefs Sam would do to him if he'd forget to give her something…

Randomly, an idea popped into his mind. This could be the solution! It was risky though but since he had never really taken a risk in his life Freddie decided it was worth it.

Smiling contently, he finished his computer programme.

The next morning, Carly couldn't wait to talk to Sam.

"Sam, Sam. Look, I got something for you! I stayed up all night just to make this!"

Sam perceived Carly was waving with a piece of paper in her right hand.

Carly was very proud of her work. She handed the paper over to Carly.

It read

To-do list for Sam's 16th birthday

- decide about guest list

- design invitations

- buy party decorations

- engage a cool band

- decide which cake to buy

- buy some cool clothes to wear at the party

- LARGE BUFFET

(Yes, it really was written in capital letters!)

"CARLY! Now you're really overdoing it!"

"Overdoing what? Is there anything missing on the list? Just give me a pen, I'll add it right away. We don't wanna screw up the party, right?" Innocent smile again.

"You're missing the point in this! It's MY party! Why are YOU planning everything in advance?"

"Oh… I just wanted to make sure you don't forget to take something important into consideration. I thought you also want to have a successful party…" Carly answered meekly.

"It's OK. But don't ever do that again!" she said while hugging Carly.

"And now give me that list." Sam demanded. "Since it's my birthday, I will decide and you help." She wanted to make that clear only once because she didn't want to have any further disturbances.

"Have you already decided who you want to invite?"

"Hmm… Tough choice… You?" It was unlike Sam to think about something like that seriously.

"Oh, a party with two guests. Could become tight in here…" Carly answered sarcastically pointing at the Shay's living room.

"Very funny. If you don't like it that way you can decide on the guest list. I don't want to bother myself with that."

"So you're gonna be content even if I invite Freddie?"

"Yeah, whatever. Don't care." Sam would never admit her feelings she swore to herself.

Carly smirked.

"Have you already thought about were the party should be?"

"I'm sure Spencer allows us to use your appartment."

"I'm sorry girls, but I'm gonna make an exhibition of my sculptures this day." Spencer just came down from upstairs.

"Crap. What are we gonna do now, Miss Knows-It-All?" Sam started to get annoyed again. Why had everything to be so damn complicated?

That's why she enjoyed eating: It was easy, no thinking, no complicated feelings and eating alone wasn't a problem either…

"Do you wanna know why I'm gonna hold an exhibition?" Spencer asked in an excited singsong voice.

"NO!" Carly and Sam shouted simultaneously.

"Well, then you'll find me at the Groovy Smoothie." Spencer said while faking to be depressed.

"Aw man, just give me a break. Can't we talk about that whole party thing later?"

Carly had no chance to reply because Sam had already fallen asleep on the couch.

Carly sneeked out of the door walking on her tiptoes. She decided it would be nice to pay a visit to Freddie.
