AN-Hey, guys! Thanks so much for your awesome reviews on 'All The Things That Happen After.' It means a lot! Anyway, I know I have to update that soon, so I will by Memorial Day. But I have a new little oneshot for you guys.

I've always loved stories that tell what happened after iLost My Mind, or how people think our favorite little couple got together. So...I made my own. I hope you like it!

Yes, I know that was a long author's note. :)

Time Frame: After iLost My Mind/Before iDate Sam and Freddie

Disclaimer: iCarly belongs to Dan Schnieder.

Finally. The day Freddie, Carly, Gibby, and Spencer had been waited for decided it was time to show up. Sam was being released from Troubled Waters.

After waiting four long days, she was being let out of that crazy prison. Well, at least that's what Sam called it. She just wanted to get out of there.

Her mom finally made her way back into America after getting laser hair removal in some weird and random country. She didn't even bother to check on Sam before she went home and took a five-hour nap. Carly woke her up with a frantic phone call, ordering her to save her daughter from crazy town.

So now, at this moment, Sam and her mother are driving to Bushwell Plaza, where she will be attacked with questions about her extra four days there without any sort of communication with her friends.

That's right. Those idiotic nurses and fake cops took her phone away so her "crazy webshow friends" wouldn't try to sneak her out again.

Also, she will be asked many more questions about the events that happened during the webshow. But not only in the Shay's apartment, but in school the next day, too, for a good part of the Ridgeway student body watches iCarly.

And most of them care about who Freddie dates.

So now, the four friends of this blonde-headed demon sit in silence, well, more like awkward silence, awaiting her arrival.

Spencer and Gibby are sitting on the couch, a small part of their attention on the TV, while most of their attention focused on the two other people in the room. They watch with confused looks.

Carly is pacing the room back and forth, stopping every once in a while to see if she can hear her friend. Then, she continues and repeats. She keeps looking at her watch, then at the clock on the wall, as if the time on one of them is going faster.

Freddie sits on the edge of the armchair, glancing at the door every couple of seconds. His knees bounce up and down while he runs his fingers through his hair. He tried his best this morning to put it together exactly the same way he had it the night of the webshow. For Sam, of course.

It is now 7:02 at night, and Carly is practically shaking.

"Guys!" she exclaimed, waving her hands in the air. "Sam said she would be here by seven! She's two minutes late!"

"So?" Gibby asked, not taking his eyes off the TV, which was showing 'Girly Cow.'

Carly shot him a death glare. "So, what if her mom didn't pick her up yet? What if Sam is stuck there?"

Spencer shook his head. "Carls, remember, it's Sam we're talking about. When is she ever on time for anything?" He tries to lighten the mood, but fails when his sister glares at him with icy eyes.

"Spencer, I just want her to be here with us," she said

"Me too," Freddie added, finally saying two words to the people in the room with him.

Gibby elbowed Spencer, and they both grinned at him. "Ah," Gibby said. "He wants to get with Sam."

Freddie rolled his eyes, waving that comment off. "No, no, not that," he replied. "I want to figure things out."

Carly is practically vibrating with excitement. "But you do want to go out with her, right?"

Seeing the look of anxiousness on his friends' faces, he can do nothing but tell them the truth. "Yes," he admitted. "I do want to go out with her."

Spencer turned to whisper in Gibby's ear. "Man, never thought I'd hear that."

"Yay!" Carly yelled, throwing a pillow at her brother. "Oh wow, this is gonna be so-"

She was cut off by the loud sound of the doorknob jingling. Her head whipped to the side, then back at the three other people in the room.

She was here. Sam was here.

They all instantly got up from their places. Spencer clicked the TV off before following the three teenagers to the door. They all stood there, waiting. Carly was in the front, staring at the spot her best friend's blue eyes appeared a few seconds later.

Her arms flew around her body before she got a chance to walk through the door. "Sam!" she exclaimed. "I missed you! You're finally back!"

Sam hesitantly returned her best friend's hug. She hated hugs, but this one was appropriate and necessary. "Hey, Carls. Missed you, too."

Once Carly had finally released her, Sam made her way to Spencer and Gibby, who both pulled her into a one-arm hug. "Hey, kiddo," Spencer said. "Everything okay?"

Sam threw her bag onto the floor and plopped herself on the couch. "Eh, it was fine," she shrugged. "It was the same since four days ago, that's for sure. Same stupid people, same stupid place."

Carly beamed at her. "Aw, I'm so glad you got out of there, Sam. We all missed you so much, didn't we, Freddie?"

Freddie, who had been staring at Sam since the moment she walked in, snapped out of his daze. "Oh, um, yeah, I did. I mean, we did," he stuttered out, not finding the right words.

Sam stood up, brushing herself off. Freddie took one look at her, then he decided it was time to do something. He walked over to her and pulled her into his arms, holding her tightly. Her arms found their way around his waist.

This was the first time in a long time they've had a real hug, all the other ones being forced or planned out for iCarly. This was actually really...nice. Sam inhaled, taking in Freddie's own scent of soap and cologne. She always loved that. Freddie rested his chin on her shoulder, giving Carly a look.

"Okay!" she said, clapping her hands together. She turned to Gibby and Spencer. "Why don't we go get some smoothies, and you guys will meet us there whenever you're ready, alright?"

Neither of them answered, so Carly took that as a yes, grabbing her jacket and walking out the door, with her brother and friend following close behind.

Sam and Freddie remained in a hug, just soaking each other in. They might have to get used to this. After finally pulling away, they both took a seat on the couch.

"So," Sam said, playing with her fingers. "Why'd you kiss me?"

Freddie played with his own fingers as well, trying to not choke on his words. "Well, I like you," he answered.

Sam nodded, looking everywhere but his eyes. "Really? Well, that's...great."

Freddie smirked to himself, sitting up taller. "Oh, is it, Princess Puckett?" he asked her.

Still looking down, she laughed, brushing a piece of her hair behind her ear. "Yes, Fredward," she said.

He moved closer to her on the couch, placing his hand on her knee, which caused her to look up at him in surprise. He started to lean in slowly, eyelids starting to close. She did the same, suddenly feeling light-headed.

Their lips met in a soft, gentle kiss. Freddie's hand moved up to grab the back of her neck. Hers gripped his arm. The kiss was slow and passionate, the total opposite of what they had expected.

Sam broke the kiss, her arm still holding onto his. "Wait," she said. "What about Carly?"

Freddie's eyebrows furrowed in confusion. "What about Carly?"

"I thought you loved her," she admitted, looking down.

"Sam, no. I lo...like you," he said softly. He pulled her chin up so their eyes were locked. "I kissed you, didn't I?"

She shook her head. "But, you've always liked her. How could you suddenly like me?"

Freddie took her hand and interlocked their fingers. "Things change," he said simply. Her eyes had a look of shock on them, so he continued. "You were always there, Sam. Yeah, you punched me and kicked me and did whatever you could to make my life miserable, but I kind of...enjoyed it."

"But," Sam interrupted, "when did you start to like me?"

"I started to like you after I broke up with Carly. It was just feelings then, but soon it turned into a crush, then I liked you," he explained. "I always wanted to tell you somehow, but when you kissed me, I just froze up."

She smiled. "Yeah, you did freeze up."

He nodded, pulling her so she was no on his lap. "So, are we gonna try this, or what?"

She leaned down and placed both of her hands on either side of his face, kissing him sweetly. "Definitely," she said. "But, I have rules for this relationship."

Freddie rolled his eyes playfully. "Lay em on me, baby."

"Did you just call me 'baby'?" Sam asked him.

"Yes," he said, twirling a piece of her hair around his finger. "Now, what are those rules?"

"Well, baby," she said, winking. "One, you're paying for most of our food. Two, I'm allowed to hit any girls who hit on you with the buttersock. Three, we don't have to be secretive about this. And four, you're allowed to kiss me whenever you want."

Freddie grinned. "Hmm, I like that last one," he said quietly. "But, what about you? Shouldn't there be a rule that says you're allowed to kiss me whenever you want?"

Sam shrugged. "Eh, there's no rule for that. I'll be doing that a lot," she told him.

He laughed. "Well, so will I. So you can take rule number four off that list."

She leaned to kiss his cheek, but he turned his head at the last second so she ended up kissing his lips. "Well, someone's an awfully eager nub," she laughed. "We just started going out!"

He held his hands up in the air. "Hey, I'd do anything to kiss you."

She grinned, standing up and pulling her with him. "Come on, Frednub. Let's go to the Groovy Smoothie and annoy the chiz out of Gibby by kissing in front of him. He hates mushy couples."

"Okay, Princess Puckett," he smiled, opening the door. After he closed it, he kissed her once more. "Hey, I hate you," he said.

She smiled. "Hate you, too."

She grabbed his hand, leading him through the hallway. Nothing could get better than this.

Someday, Freddie thought. Someday, I will tell her how I really feel. All I have to do is say those three words. It's just gotta happen at the right time...

Please review and tell me what you think! Should I continue and do oneshots for iDate Sam and Freddie, iCan't Take It, and iLove You? Lemme know!
