The Not So Sweet Life Of iCarly
Chapter 2. First Impressions Never Counted
This chapter is just a short chapter to get everyone introduced to one another. Sorry if it's a little anti-climatic, but the next chapter will be much longer and be more exciting.
Also I do not own Suite Life Of Zack And Cody or iCarly or anything else mentioned in this fic.
Enjoy. :)
The big thing that Spencer had forgot in his panic to get away from the fighting girls was that he didn't know the location of his room yet. He just rode the elevator to a random floor and decided to look around for them. Not a genius plan, but hey, whatever works.
When he stepped out of the elevator he found himself almost being run over by two kids on skateboards.
"Woah!" He yelled as he jumped out of the way. "What the - why are you guys skateboarding in a hotel and not paying attention to wear people are walking?"
The kids had stopped and flipped their skateboards in their hands. "Wow, I thought you were gonna yell at us or maybe rat us out!" One of the kids said smirking.
"Me too!" The second was said, they looked really similar.
"Hey, are you guys brothers or something?" Spencer asked waving his hand at them.
"Yupp, we're twins!" They answered. "I'm Zack and this my brother Cody." The boy said waving to his brother.
"Hey, don't I know you from somewhere?" Cody asked.
"Um, I don't know? I don't you, I mean come on, I just came here after the Tipton offered my little sister's webshow a-"
"You mean iCarly!?" Cody asked excitedly.
"Yeah! You watch it?" Spencer asked.
"Watch it? This kid practically lives off of it!" Zack interrupted his brother from answering, "I've never seen him get so excited to watch something, that is actually funny to me too, before!"
Spencer smiled. It was always nice to hear how successful his sister was getting with her webshow.
"So you guys finally came." Cody continued, "Everyone around he was waiting for you guys to arrive! I can't believe I'm talking to someone related to the star of iCarly-Carly!" Cody was almost jumping now. "So, can I meet them? Carly and Sam I mean! Oh and Freddie! It's also really nice to meet you too! I mean it's an honor!"
"Woah, woah, woah, kid." Spencer held up his hands. "Of course you meet them but on one condition."
Cody looked at his brother with a puzzling look and then back at Spencer. "And what would that condition be?"
"You have to help me find them first." Spencer gave an almost begging look to Cody.
"Uh, sure." Cody agreed before asking any questions.
"Hunh, I thought Spencer said to come to the lobby for him." Carly wondered as she, Sam, and Freddie walked to the lobby and saw no sign of her brother anywhere.
"Yeah, I wonder where he is." Freddie agreed.
"Hey, hey, hey!" Spencer came walking into the lobby almost in perfect timing.
"Spencer! Where were you?" Carly asked.
"Ugh, long story tell you later."
"Oh my god, you have to see our suite!" Sam started, "It has the coolest bedroom-"
"OH MY GOSH!" Cody came leaping into the lobby and gave Carly a flying hug, that she was unprepared for, and ended up just tackling her to the ground. "It's iCarly!"
Carly looked up with the most confused expression on her face. Cody was practically straddling her and had a death-grip on her that even the biggest security guards might have trouble with.
"Um, hi kid?" Sam said as she stared at her friend being glomped by a stranger. "Anyway, back to the room-You have to feel the bed, it's the softest-"
"UM EXCUSE ME?" Carly directed her yell to Sam but Cody got up anyway.
"I'm so sorry, I'm Cody Martin and I could arguably be one of your biggest fans!" He said as he got up.
"Oh no." Freddie muttered remembering their last 'biggest fan.'
Carly got up and brushed herself off and thought back to that nightmare too.
"Oh no, not like that." Cody said back almost reading their minds. "I guess I kinda ruined my first impression though."
"Uh, duh!" Sam pointed out.
Cody's shoulders slumped as he muttered out an apology.
"Hey, it wasn't that bad of an first impression." Spencer butted in, trying to help his pal. He promised this kid meeting iCarly and it wasn't much of a meeting if was awkward like that. "At least you pointed out that you like their webshow!"
"True." Carly agreed. "Well, I guess I can forgive you." She teased.
"Hey, I don't know about you guys but I am dying to go show Spencer our suite." Sam said, "I know he's going to love it."
"Yeah." Carly concurred, "So, Cody is it?" Cody nodded his head. "We should hangout sometime, we're on the 24th floor, the third room on the left." Carly offered.
"Uh, yeah! I can show you around sometime, we're only one floor below you. Me and my twin brother practically rule this place." He crossed his arms trying to look cool and impress them.
Carly giggled as they left for the elevator once again.
Spencer had to admit, the suite was pretty amazing. There was a nice size living room with a big flat screen hanging on the wall. There was a small but cozy kitchen and a hallway that lead to a big bedroom.
Freddie and Mrs. Benson were staying in a connecting room that was equally as nice. Now the unpacking started. Joy.
"You guys take the bedroom, I'll sleep on the sofa." Spencer said to Carly and Sam.
"Awh, you sure Spence? Sam and I won't mind sleeping out here." Carly offered.
"Speak for yourself." Sam said as she carried her bags to the room.
Carly gave Sam a harsh look, but Sam wasn't paying any attention.
"It's okay Carly, this is you vacation." Spencer said as he unzipped one of his bags.
After a bit of bickering, rearranging, interior design thought, and some TCL the place looked pretty ... well, suitable for their needs anyway.
And even through it all Spencer's mind kept wondering back to the sweet candy counter girl. Even though he bailed on her in panic, part of what made him do it was his feelings. Spencer hadn't realized it but he was slumped on the couch staring at the wall in deep thought.
"What's up, Spence?" Carly said as she plopped down on the couch beside him. She knew that something serious was on his mind.
"Ahh, I don't know. You see I met this girl who works at the hotel as a candy counter girl and ... I don't know." Spencer said after trying to think of a way to explain how he was feeling.
"Awwh." Was Carly's only reply.
Spencer glared at her as she smiled. "Well, I just don't think she's gonna like me." Spencer started, "I mean, she may be too good for me." Spencer said as he ran his fingers through his hair. He was taking this very seriously for a first time meeting that had went less than what he had hoped for. Some part of his brain was just screaming at him to go back to the lobby.
"Aw, come on Spence. No girl is too good for you." She put her hand on Spencer's shoulder. "Confidence is key. You should go and ask her if she wants to have spaghetti tacos with us one night." Carly suggested.
Spencer smiled. "I don't know for a 'first date' kinda thing. She may have to work up to that. Save that thought for an anniversary." Spencer said as he got up from the couch and walked to the door. "Today," he announced, "I will ask candy counter girl out!"
Spencer briskly came down the stairs to the lobby. He didn't even stop to take a break from the amount of steps he had to carefully walk down (he wasn't the most coordinated person in the world) to meet his candy counter girl.
"Hello." He said smirking.
Maddie looked up to see the boy that, a few hours ago, had just fled the lobby in terror. "Spencer!" She said remembering his name.
"Maddie." He nodded his head towards her.
"So did you enjoy the nuget?" She asked trying to make small talk.
"Yes, very much so. But, that is not why I came here." He said trying to act as manly as possible.
"Oh." Maddie said not sure where this conversation was going.
"I would like to know if Friday night you are busy."
"Umm, no." Maddie said tilting her head to the side, "I'm free."
"Then, would you like to go to dinner with me around 8:00 ....?" Spencer asked hopefully.
Maddie looked him up and down. He was a bit goofy but he was really funny. He was super sweet but he was kinda awkward. He was really-oh what the heck!
"Sure." Maddie smiled.
'Confidence is key' Spencer thought.
So Spencer thinks of this dinner as a date, how will Maddie think of it? What about London? How will Carly and the gang fair with Zack and Cody? Special thanks goes out to my current two reviewers. Thank you guys so much! Next chapter will be much better, trust me :D
Well you'll have to wait for the next chapter ^_^
