Chapter 2: Going On Survivor
Author's Note: Hey guys! If you don't watch the show Survivor, don't worry about it, it'll be explained as I go. Also, the people a couple of you requested to be on the show will! :D Review!
Freddie's POV:
I've watched the show Survivor since it came out. And now, being eighteen years old, I didn't even apply but Carly, Sam, and I were invited to go on! I guess when people see that the iCarly people were going to be on, there would be more viewers for Survivor or something. I don't know, that's why I think they invited us.
We all gladly accepted, considering if one of us won we would win a million dollars! I also thought it would be a great experience.
Not much has changed over the years. We stopped doing iCarly right after we graduated college, as we did a special graduation goodbye. We were all planning to go to college, even Sam, and we knew we couldn't continue the show as we were taking different paths. It sort of makes me sad, thinking that Carly, Sam, and I could drift so much when we're in college. So I think us going on Survivor is one last great time we'll have together before we say goodbye.
Sam wasn't even sure about her future. I was going to try to get a job in computers and Carly had a lot of options, and she really didn't need to figure it out yet, but Sam really didn't know. She was still even deciding what college to go to!
Where they were shooting Survivor was going to be in a deserted part of Hawaii. We also were informed that a lot of people who went to Ridgeway with us, or even worked there, would also be on the show. It's usually a bunch of people from all around United States going on, but I guess this was a special one.
Spencer was also going to be on! He was now thirty-three years old, around the average age of when people from Survivor would go on. He hadn't changed much. He was still never married or anything. It was weird though, it was the first time that they had two people who were related to each other on the same season of Survivor.
Survivor is thirty-nine days long and there would be sixteen of us. I wasn't sure who else would be on the show, but I knew that there would be people that I knew. I was excited but scared, and also ready.
I took an airplane with Carly, Sam, and Spencer. The airplane was taking us to a spot where the people who worked in Survivor told us to go. In my opinion, I thought we had an unfair advantage because we were best friends. Carly had the biggest advantage I guess, since she had Sam and I as her best friends and also her own brother was on the show. But I wasn't going to complain.
So I sat on the window seat of the airplane, Carly going in the middle and Sam going in the aisle seat. Spencer was in the seat in the airplane right in front of us.
"Oh my gosh guys," Carly said with a grin after we were settled in our seats on the airplane. "Aren't you excited?"
"Yeah!" I exclaimed. "And I always thought Sam would be perfect for this show."
Sam just shrugged. "I don't know how I'm gonna deal. Wait, so there's going to be no ham?"
I shook my head. "Well, sometimes there's these reward challenges," I explained. "And if you win, sometimes the reward is food."
"Wait, they don't give us food?" Carly asked, horrified.
"Do you guys know anything about this show?" I laughed, but they both shook their heads. "Well, I'm sure Jeff Probst will explain. He's the host. But basically, we'd be on these islands, and there are ways to make food but don't worry. And usually, no one who goes on the show know each other."
"Well we all know each other," Carly said, stating the obvious.
"Duh," Sam said.
"Whatever, it'll all be figured out later," I said. Carly looked tense. "Relax!" I exclaimed.
The airplane ride went by quickly for me. Sam was eating and asleep half the time, but Carly spent the whole time staring at nothing and tapping her feet. No matter how hard I tried to calm her down, it wouldn't work.
We were all wearing clothes we would normally wear in Hawaii. Carly was wearing a red tank top with spaghetti straps and pink short-shorts. She'd stayed girly over the years, of course. Her dark hair was in a ponytail.
Sam wore a bright blue tank top with thick straps and green and yellow plaid boxer shorts. She, too, kept her style over the year.
I was wearing a green tee shirt and a bathing suit for pants. We were all instructed to wear bathing suits under our clothes, but I figured I could jut wear mine as pants. It was blue with one green stripe on the side.
We made it to our destination, but that wasn't where we were shooting Survivor. I walked down the beach with Carly, Sam, and Spencer by my side. Excitement was filling my body. I was especially excited that I was going to get to have this experience with people I knew. Especially Carly and Sam.
I got pretty much over my crush on Carly over the years. I finally developed common sense, knowing I shouldn't have wasted my life hoping for something that wasn't going to happen. But, of course, she just had to get more and more beautiful every day. But someone else did, too.
Sam. Sam, now eighteen years old just like Carly and I, had a beautiful figure. She was still very thin but now she had curves. And her face was beautiful too. She had a really sweet smile and her golden locks reached her hips. We still fought a lot, but at the end of the day we both knew that we were friends. Really close friends.
Suddenly, cameramen were appearing everywhere. Other people who worked with Survivor guided the four of us to a large boat that we all went on. But we had to wait there for a while until other people showed up.
Now, I was sitting in the middle of Sam and Carly on the big white boat that was going to take us to our destination. Spencer was on the other side of Carly. I took a look at Spencer. He'd looked exactly the same as he always did over the years. His hair was still sort of long, and his face was still clean-shaven. He was still a nice, funny guy who was like a brother to Sam and I almost as much as he was to Carly.
"You guys excited?" Spencer asked excitedly, well, almost shouted.
"Yeah!" I exclaimed with Carly, but Sam didn't look so enthusiastic.
"No food," Sam groaned. "No good food, for thirty-nine days."
I actually smiled a bit at her. I figured that Survivor would be good for her and teach her a lot, that is, if she stayed on the show for a long time.
At the end of each episode, someone was voted off. It was probably going to be especially hard to vote people off for us, since they said that we would know pretty much everyone.
Soon, I saw that far away everyone else was finally arriving. When everyone finally filled the boat, my jaw dropped. No way that I had to be on Survivor with these people!
Okay guys, I'm sorry that this chapter was pretty bad. Please don't be mad! I promise that this story will get fun and interesting. I guess this was sort of an introduction. So anyway, who could the other people be, that Freddie is so shocked about? Find out on the next chapter!
