A/N: This is my first fanfic in quite a while, so I apologize in advance if it isn't the best. Anyways, I turned 15 yesterday and so I'm really happy and I hope everybody had a happy thanksgiving! ^^

Disclaimer: Well, I'm obviously writing a FANfic. If I owned iCarly I don't think I would be writing this, I'd be writing a script for the show!

Chapter 1

(General POV)

It was about time for the winter dance at Ridgeway and the theme for this year's dance was masquerade, which means everybody was required to wear a mask the entire time to the event. Everyone had been talking about it ever since the news came out. It was mysterious, unique, and exciting. The requirement for guys was to wear a tux and for girls, a prom style dress.

Of course, a certain Sam Puckett was complaining.

"I don't want to wear a stupid dress to a stupid dance!" she said as she threw her hands up in the air, looking ready to punch the locker right beside her.

"Oh, c'mon Sam, it'll be fun!" replied her best friend Carly, smiling like always.

"Ugh! Why are you making me do this?" by now Sam was very frustrated.

"Maybe you'll meet a nice guy, after all it has been almost a month since you've had a boyfriend," Carly pointed out.

Upon hearing this, Sam's eyebrows rose. It hadn't occurred to her that maybe Carly was right, but she still wasn't ready to tell her about her monster crush on a certain someone. She had to change the topic fast, she thought. "Carly, don't we still need to figure out what we want to do for the show Friday night?" (A/N: I don't know when they actually do the show; it's just a wild guess.)

"Oh, yeah, I forgot to tell you that we have an extra rehearsal scheduled tonight at 7," replied Carly, who was completely oblivious.

Sam was glad she fooled her again, but she knew Carly would ask about her weird behavior eventually. "Wait…..another rehearsal? Shay, that's the third one this week alone!" she didn't really mind rehearsals, but tonight it was just supposed to be her, the television, and horror films.

"There's gonna be spaghetti tacos!" Carly put in.

Sam smiled. "Count me in!"

"Yay! Oh, before I forget, could you please tell Freddie about the rehearsal? I have to go over to Wendy's and help her with math."

"Alright," said Sam, sighing.

"Great! Bye Sam, see you later!" With that, Carly walked off.

"Bye!" Sam called after her.

Great, thought Sam. This is going to be mission impossible. She sought out to find Freddie, who was over by his nerdy buddies, AKA, the AV club.

Sam just stood over to the side until the nerds went away and Freddie was just there on his own. Before he walked off, Sam said, "Yo Frederly!"

Freddie tensed up and turned around. "Hey," was Freddie's reply. "What's up?"

"Nothing much, Carly just wanted me to tell you that there's another rehearsal tonight at 7," Sam replied, all the while getting nervous. But that's not all, she thought.

"Dangit, again?" Freddie said, exasperated.

"I know right! But there will be spaghetti tacos!" Sam said, smiling.

"Let's hope Spencer doesn't burn the pot again!" Freddie said. Sam laughed.

"Good one, Benson," She said. Just staring at his cute face is- wait! Cute? No way, he's too much of a nub, she thought. She hoped she wasn't being too obvious on her crush on Freddie.

"Well Sam I gotta go, I'll see you later at Carly's!" he smiled, and Sam just muttered, "Yeah…bye."

He probably likes Carly anyways, she thought as she walked off to grab herself a smoothie from the Groovy Smoothies.

A/N: Sorry for the shortness! I hope it wasn't too bad or to OOC, please R&R!
