A/N: So I'm going by story traffic and it looks like some people have been checking out my story. Well here is the official first chapter. Hope everyone enjoys! BTW most chapters will be split up into parts so I don't have a zillion chapters!!!
Disclaimer: If I owned iCarly and True Jackson VP I would be so happy.
Chapter 1:
It didn't take long to make all the arrangements for Carly, Sam, Freddie, and Spencer to fly to New York for the fashion show. They all were sent first class tickets, a map of New York City, and a fancy limo that would be waiting for them at the airport, which would take them to their hotel. It was the morning of their flight, a day after receiving the email, and they were getting ready to leave Carly's apartment.
Mrs. Benson grabbed Freddie and pulled him into a tight hug. "Oh Fredward! Are you sure you want to go alone? Wont you miss me at all? I can't stand the thought of you being gone!"
Freddie stayed stiff, not hugging his mom back. "Mom! I'll be fine; Spencer's going to be there with us. Besides I'm just watching from the back."
She glanced over at Spencer and then back at her son. "Yeah, but Freddie you've never been to New York! Something could happen to you!"
He rolled his eyes. "Mom…"
She hugged him once more. "You have to call me as soon as you get there!"
Sam smirked as she watched the scene from afar. Her smirk disappeared, however, when she felt her best friend, Carly nudge her.
Mrs. Benson pulled away from her son and looked over to Spencer. "He's in your hands now," it was in both a warning, and approving tone.
Carly placed a hand on Spencer's shoulder. "He's in good hands." She gave Freddie's mom a smile.
Mrs. Benson just nodded.
"Bye Mom," Freddie said with a wave.
She waved and finally left the apartment.
Sam laughed. "Glad to see Mother Hen leave."
Freddie glared at her. "At least I had the decency to tell my mom WHERE I was going."
Sam took a step forward, returning his glare. "My mom isn't an obsessed freak!"
This time, Freddie took a step forward. "At least my mom cares!"
Carly stepped in between the two. "Sam, Freddie, come on! Don't start this now. Today's supposed to be fun!"
Freddie nodded and gave Carly an embarrassed smile. "You're right," he backed up away from Sam.
Sam rolled her eyes. 'She's got him so whipped…' she thought to herself.
Spencer put his arm around Sam and Freddie's shoulders. "Well little people, are you ready to go to the airport?" his voice was cheerful, as usual.
Carly smiled. "Look on the bright side guys, this time we'll be flying first class. No wild animals."
Freddie, Sam, and Spencer all laughed.

True Jackson giddily paced back in forth in her office. She was so excited that she was actually getting the chance to meet Carly and Sam form iCarly. It was an honor! She was so happy that for once, one of Lulu's ideas was turning out quite well.
"Would you stop that pacing?" Amanda Cantwell, a vice president in another department, groaned from True's office doorway.
True jumped at the sound of her voice. "Amanda! When did you get here?"
"Not soon enough, I suppose. Shouldn't you be doing something useful with your time?" She snapped, her high heels clinking across True's office.
"Actually I'm waiting for Lulu and Ryan to get back." True explained while leaning up against the wall.
Amanda shook her head in a disapproving manner. "I can see why that girl hangs around here, considering she's your assistant, but why must that wretched boy come around so much?"
True laughed. "Ryan's not a Wretched Boy. Besides, he comes in handy."
Amanda literally stuck up her noise in disgust. "Speak of the devil…" she mumbled under her breath as Ryan and Lulu came through the office doorway.
"Hey True. Were back! But you probably already noticed that. Well if you didn't, Surprise!" Lulu said hopping up on True's desk.
Ryan put his arm around Amanda. "So, what are you doing for lunch?"
Shoving off his arm, she gasped in agony. "How dare you, you little… brat!"
He backed up and held up his arms. "Hey, you came on to me!" he teased, adding in a wink at the end.
"Ryan…" True said with a sigh. Then turning to Amanda, "Amanda, what is it you need from me?"
Clearing her throat, Amanda brushed off her blouse. "Well, from what I've been told, two young celebrities are supposed to be meeting with Max and I for dinner this evening. The girls from that web show iKristie or something."
"It's not iKristie! It's iCarly!" Lulu said in shock.
Ryan laughed. "Everyone knows that!"
Amanda ignored them. "That's beside the point, I am here because Max asked me to invite you to join us tonight."
True's eyes lit up. "For real?"
Rolling her eyes, Amanda nodded.
"True that's great! I can't wait to go!" Lulu yelled.
"This is freaking insane! I get to have dinner with Carly and Sam! Carly's so hot!" Ryan gleefully said.
"Ahem!" Amanda cried out, getting all three of their attention. "I meant True. Not you intolerant brats!"
"Wait… what?" True asked.
"You think Carly's hot?" Lulu asked Ryan.
"Lulu! Did you not just hear what Amanda said?" True's voice shook with disappointment. "You and Ryan aren't invited…"
"What? That's not fair! It was my idea in the first place!" Lulu cried out.
"Yeah, Carly is totally hot…" Ryan was pretty much off to his own world by then.
"Tell Max I can't make it," True said looking at Amanda.
"Hmph! If you think that for one moment I'm going to spend my evening alone with a couple of girls who go on the internet to make stupid videos, well then you are even more ignorant than I thought!" Amanda said, stomping her foot impatiently.
"Amanda it's not fair to Lulu and Ryan. They should be able to go too. They're really big fans." True explained.
Lulu and Ryan nodded simultaneously.
"It's not up to me, True. If it were, well maybe things would be different… but it's not. Max only reserved a table for 7. That would be including the two girls, the one girls brother, their camera boy, Max, me, and you."
True frowned and then looked to Ryan and Lulu.
"It's okay True… I'm fine if you go," Ryan said.
Lulu made a sad face at her. "Can you at least get me an autograph?"
True made a small smile. "I'm sure after the fashion show they'll have time to talk. But yeah, I'll get you an autograph."
"Ugh! Must you kids be so sappy and annoying! I'll take my leave then!" Amanda said clanked off out of the room.

The plane hit an air bump, causing Sam to jerk out of her sleep. She moaned and rested her head on Carly's shoulder. "What time is it?"
Carly glanced at her watch. "Just a bit after noon, why?"
Sam shrugged. "How much longer 'til we land?"
"Umm in about three hours." Carly confirmed.
Sam groaned.
From behind them Spencer let out a loud snore. A few words were mumbled into it but they were hard to make out.
The girls both laughed.
"How you holding up back there, Dork?" Sam asked.
Freddie rolled his eyes. "I'm fine, if you must know. Spencer's snoring doesn't bother me."
Sam laughed. "Whatever mama's boy."
Carly nudged her for the millionth time since being on the plane.
"Ouch!" Sam complained.
"Behave then."
"I'm trying! He was the one who got an attitude!" Sam said glaring back at Freddie.
Freddie just glared back.
Carly sighed. "So what kind of clothes do you think we'll be wearing?" she asked trying to change the subject.
Sam grinned. "I don't know, but I hope it's something cute! I've always wanted to do some modeling!"
"You? Model?" Freddie blurted out in shock.
Sam grabbed a bag of peanuts from a passing flight attendant's tray and threw them back at him.
"Sam!" He complained rubbing his face where the peanuts had hit.
"Say something again, I dare you to, dork!"
"Come on you two!" Carly pleaded. "Can't you get through one day without fighting?"
Sam folded her arms and stared at the back of the seat in front of her. She hated when Carly talked to her like a child. But she guessed she sort of deserved it. It was pretty mean to throw those peanuts at the dork. How could he say that though? She was pretty enough to be a model! She was every bit as pretty as his precious Carly!
"Sam, you okay?" Carly asked.
"Fine…" Sam mumbled.
Carly sighed. 'This is going to be a long flight.'
A/N: Okay so a bit of fighting with Freddie and Sam is thrown into there. And I hope I have Amanda right on spot! I was going for that stuck up, snobby attitude of her. I hope you don't find the first few chapters boring though. I have to get them to the action/drama before it can happen. Don't worry though, this is a faced paced story. Reviews would be great!
