Hope you will like this. I do not own iCarly. Seddie rocks. A song called "Blind" by Lifehouse inspired me to make this chapter.
Gibby strolled inside the Shay's loft, and saw that Sam and Freddie were on the couch. Focusing on the television. Despite the fact that it wasn't even turned on.
"Hey."He greeted setting down his red duffel bag, finding the room to be quite empty without Carly and Spencer.
Both Sam and Freddie mumbled greetings, their eyes fixed on the blank screened television.
"Where's Carly and Spencer?"
Sam pointed to the stairs."Upstairs."
Gibby looked at the couple, wondering what was going on with them. He usually expected an argument over something simple and idiotic. Now all there was in the loft was silence.
He went to sit on the chair near the bizarre pair that seem to be focused on their own thoughts. Gibby looked at the stairs. Hoping that Carly and Spencer descend them. He wants to go camping, already. Get away from the city for a while. Plus, he wants to cross off 'Go To The Bathroom In The Woods' on his strange bucket list. He also has 'Dance With A Bear', but he doubts that one can happen.
He looked to Freddie's face. Somehow underneath his unamused expression lay a happiness in his eyes. Somehow, he was happy. Gibby had no clue is to why he was, but he was happy. Maybe his mother stopped making him wear...uh...what did Sam call it? Antibacterial underpants? That's it. Gibby thought, and layed his head back onto the chair. Sam looked as she always was, in rage. She looked in rage, and in her icy blue eyes was a flicker of content. She was content with something, not as much as Freddie is, but close.
Freddie gulped as he felt Sam's hand brush his, before pulling it away. He's going out of his mind. Freddie looked up at the stairs, wondering when Carly and Spencer were coming down.
Freddie muttered under his breath,"It can't that much time to pack one suitcase."
Sam added,"Yeah, but this is Carly we're talking about. It's takes her double the average time."
The two teens began to suddenly laugh, while Gibby was silent. Now, trapped in his own thoughts.
Spencer zipped up the bag, panting from all the packing. Carly was complaining on every little thing. Not wanting to get rid of anything. Wanting to take it all. Spencer had no idea why his sister was compelled to take everything. He allowed her to keep the bathroom bag, mainly because he didn't want to go through it.
"Thank goodness."Spencer said."We are done."
"Come on Spencer."Carly whined,"At least let me take a few more things..."
"No."He said sternly."You are not taking anymore stuff. Now, let's do downstairs. I think I heard Gibby."
Carly sighed deeply and got up from her spot on her bed."So, that means we can leave now?"
"Yup."Spencer smirked."We just have to walk to Socko's to pick him up and to take his recreational vehicle, and we are off."
"Why is Socko going with us, anyway?"
"He..."Spencer says nervously."He...uh...he wanted to come with us. Thought it would be...nice."
"Oh."Carly smiled."Okay, I guess. Just as long as he doesn't take my bed on the RV, I'm fine with it."
"That's cool."Spencer took a pause before speaking again."He can sleep with me...I mean he can sleep in the same bed with me! You know as buddies. Just...buddies."
Carly gave her brother a look."Are you alright? You seem a little...jumpy."
Spencer spoke with uneasiness."Me? Jumpy? Please, I'm fine. Perfectly alright. I am just happy. As happy as you can be to go camping with my amazing sister and her friends."
"You forgot to add 'and my friend of so many years.'"
"Yeah..."Spencer sprinted out of the door after that, flustered. Carly just stared at the doorway, wondering what was going on with her brother.
Gibby was happy to hear that Sam and Freddie were actually talking, and that Spencer came down the stairs. Before Gibby can get up to get his bag, Spencer came running to the bathroom. So much for Gibby leaving to go camping any time soon. From the way Spencer was running, it looked like it would take a while for him to get out of the bathroom.
Carly came downstairs soon after that, with a bag at tow. Gibby watched her and the duo on the couch. He couldn't quite make out what they were saying. Mostly low muttering to each other. They stopped as soon as Spencer can running towards the living room, with his pants unzipped, saying that he is ready. Everybody snickered at the man's unzipped pants, but no one had the heart to tell him.
It took a while to even get to the apartment lobby. Spencer had a whole list of things to check off, which took forever. Freddie's mother stopped by with her own check list. A more embarrassing one for Freddie. Freddie was blushing in embarrassment as his mother read off the list one by one. Sam couldn't contain her laughter.
Ms. Benson would stop every few seconds to stare at Spencer's unzipped pants. Spencer covered that area, thinking that she was staring at his crotch. Freddie said yes to having cloud block, anti bacterial as well as anti leak underwear, mosquito and tick repellent, a set of flashlights for the night, his Galaxy Wars nightlight, his Nug-Nug pajamas, hiking boots...the list goes on and on. They were set to go soon after that. Freddie's mother still regretted allowing him to go on this trip, but she did anyway.
Once they were out of the apartment, they began to walk straight down the street. Between the apartment and Socko's place is the Groovy Smoothie, a few unnecessary shops, houses, and a bowling alley. A bowling alley where Spencer and Socko spent a lot of their days together. They were known by practically everybody there.
He smiled. He was happy to see Socko. His heartbeat began to pick up quickly.
