iHave New Viewers
Day 1- Afternoon
Normal POV
Freddie grabbed the plastic bin that held his laptop and his two cameras. He set the tripod for one of his cameras and held the other one. Then he flipped the bin over and set his laptop on it. The "studio audience" watched curiously and sat down on the sand facing the clear, blue ocean.
"Okay," Carly said to the technical producer, "are you ready?"
"Almost," Freddie replied while pressing a few buttons on the computer. The wireless router that connected the cameras to the laptop came on. "Yeah, everything's set!" Sam and Carly nodded at him. Freddie counted down, "We're rolling in five… four… three… two."
"I'm Carly!"
"And I'm Sam!"
"And this is… iCarly!" Freddie pressed some buttons on the keyboard and the iCarly logo spread across the computer screen. The audience was looking at both the computer screen and at the two girls performing their show.
"And this is being… recorded from a special location," Sam whispered close to the camera Freddie was holding.
"A deserted island in the middle of the Pacific!" Carly exclaimed.
"Awesome, right?" Sam yelled sarcastically. "You don't believe us? If you don't, we'll make you believe whether you like it or not."
"Freddie, show our viewers how deserted we really are!" the cameraman pointed at the clear beach and the jungle, then back at Carly and Sam.
"See? Look at how non- polluted and empty this place is! And no, it isn't protected by the EPA," Sam took out the famous blue remote, and pressed the bottom button, making an 'aw' sound come out of the computer.
"And why are we recording our web show on this island?"
"Why Carls? Why? No, really. I don't know why," Freddie laughed.
Carly laughed then explained, "We have others with us who have NEVER seen iCarly. And they have been here for six years!"
"Dork, show the first- time viewers, would ya?" Freddie rolled his eyes and pointed the camera at the others. They all waved and smiled awkwardly.
"And if we do get rescued, by any chance, we'll broadcast this to you! On the iCarly website!"
"So… what can we do on a deserted island Carly?" Sam asked.
"Good question Sam! We could always act something out! Here's an impression of an obnoxious teenager arguing with her mean mom!" Carly started yelling in a bratty voice, "Mom! Buy me a car!"
"No!" Sam yelled in a grumpy voice.
"Mom!"
"No!"
"Mom!"
"No!"
"Mom!"
"No!"
"Mom!"
"No!"
"Thank you so much," They both immediately said in their normal voices, and bowed. A small burst of laughter came from the audience.
Sam and Carly smiled thinking of the next segment. "Now-," Sam started.
"-we would like to celebrate the month!" Freddie put up the 'Celebrating the Month' graphic on the computer screen, and switched cameras. Then he walked over to the hosts.
"This month is July!" Sam grinned.
"No, Sam, its June. June tenth," Freddie said confused.
"Not on this web cast!" Carly yelled.
"You know what that means, Freddie," Sam said. Freddie realized what was going to happen. He became wide-eyed and tried to run away, but Sam already pinned him down.
"Its National Hat Month!" Carly screamed while taking a black beanie out of the back pocket of her jeans and covered his whole head with it.
"We didn't plan this!" Freddie squirmed and yelled, but they ignored him. The audience started to howl with laughter.
"It is also National Banana Month!" Sam got a banana from the back pocket of her shorts, which Freddie didn't see earlier, and peeled it with her mouth.
"Please, no!" Freddie pleaded.
"Oh, yes. We must do this. For the sake of our viewers," Sam calmly said. "And finally, it is-"
"NATIONAL TICKLING MONTH!" Sam and Carly both screamed. Then Sam slipped Freddie's shoes off and started whacking the banana peel at the victim's bare feet.
"Please!" Freddie yelled while laughing, "Stop it! Its killing me!" The viewers were all rolling on the sand because of their hysterical laughter.
"Okay, Sam stop," Carly said while pulling the beanie off of Freddie's head. Everyone's laughter died down a little.
"Okay," Sam sighed and stopped tickling him, but then she pulled off Freddie's 'tech- belt' and threw it over to the side.
"Hey! What are you doing!? I need that!" Freddie exclaimed.
"Sam, what are you up to now. Even I don't know about this," Carly shook her head, knowing that Sam was going to torture him.
"He doesn't need that belt to go swimming!" Sam smiled. She grabbed his feet, and dragged him into the ocean until his whole body was in the water. Then she let go of him and ran back to the sand. Everyone, except for Freddie of course, burst into laughter again watching him clumsily get back to shore. He reached the sand, soaked from head to toe.
"And… that concludes this episode of… iCarly," Freddie panted in front of the camera. He pressed some more buttons on the laptop, and the recording stopped. "And we're clear."
Everyone was silent for a second, but soon the audience was applauding like crazy with smiles on their faces. "That was amazing!" Lex yelled.
"I couldn't stop laughing!" Nathan exclaimed.
Eric went over to Sam and put out his hand, "I've got to admit, that was some good work right there. You have no idea how long I've been waiting to get a good laugh like that," Sam smiled and slapped his hand.
"Its all in a day's work," Sam said to him. "I do this all of the time to the dork,"
"I like picking on our dork from time to time," He nodded towards Lex.
"We should both pick on those dorks together!" Sam smirked. They both shook hands.
"This is a start of a beautiful friendship."
"Yes. Yes it is."
Freddie's POV
Why does Sam always have to treat me like this? I could deal with the 'July' thing, but dragging me into the ocean? I really hate her sometimes.
Carly handed me a towel from inside of the plane, then went over to talk to the others about the show. I took it, and wrapped myself around it. I saw her talking to Eric. The only thing that I heard from her was dork, then they shook hands! I wonder why. Lex came up to me.
"Hey! iCarly is awesome! Sorry about the ocean thing though." Lex chuckled.
"At least you liked it. Sam does things like that to me all of the time! Like one time she blew up my pants… don't ask," Lex nodded.
"Don't worry, Eric tortures me all of the time too for his amusement," Lex looked over to him and Sam.
"Really? So that's must be what they're talking about. Us!" Lex nodded again.
"But he wouldn't tickle me with a banana or throw me in the ocean. Its more of the verbal abuse," Lex sighed.
"Sam definitely does that too. We have more in common than I thought."
"Yeah. We both love computers, and we're both dorks according to them,"
"Carly does try to stop her sometimes," I added.
"Daley does too."
"Are we like twins or something?" I laughed.
"We could have our DNA checked…" Lex smiled.
"Is your mom over- protective?" I asked.
"Yeah. Before the trip she ranted about not getting sunburn and brushing our teeth. Its kind of hard to do that now," Lex said.
"My mom's a lot worse than that! I have to take a tick bath every week! I had to bring ten bottles of anti-tick soap, twenty bottles of shampoo, and five sticks of deodorant!"
"Thank you!" I heard Lex say to himself.
"What?"
"You win on having the most protective mom, but I like her already! We need that soap, badly. We haven't had to soap to wash ourselves in months! Speaking of moms, I really miss the over protectiveness from her," Lex mumbled that last part.
"Well, I have soap! She only trusts hygienic products that she buys."
"Speaking of hygiene," Lex looked over at the plane, "that pilot needs to get out of there." Freddie nodded and they both started running to the plane.
Normal POV
(While Freddie was talking to Lex.)
"So, you've been doing this for three years?" Jackson asked casually.
"Yeah, and a lot of people like it!" Carly answered.
"I can see why," Daley giggled.
"Who knew July could be so fun!?" Taylor added.
"I didn't know you can be tickled by a banana!" Melissa laughed.
"Does Sam treat him like that all of the time?" Nathan questioned.
"Oh yeah," Carly laughed. "They argue a lot too. Like non-stop!" Everyone surrounding her burst into laughter. Carly became confused. "What's so funny?"
"Oh, we just think that those two are just like Nathan and Daley when they were sixteen," Taylor responded. Nathan and Daley nodded in agreement.
"Really? Tell me everything!"
"Okay," Melissa began, "before we got here, they have been rivals ever since they met in kindergarten. In fact, they both ran for Junior class president six years ago before the school year ended."
"Who won?" Carly asked.
"Daley," Taylor continued. "Anyway, I broke up with him after that. We used to date, but that's another story."
"Taylor! Let me tell the story," Melissa sighed then continued. "So when we landed on the island, they still argued at first, which irritated everyone, but over time, they started to get along."
"I started to like Daley… as more than friends," Nathan smiled at Daley.
"And I started to like Nathan… as more than friends," Daley smiled back and held his hand.
"So now, they're a lovey- dovey couple," Jackson interrupted. Carly laughed.
"Oh really…" Carly was glad that she heard this story.
"Do I sense an idea?" Taylor asked evilly. "Because if you are plotting something, I'm in!"
"Yes I am!" Carly looked at everyone, "And I need your help. What about Eric?"
"Nah, from what I can see, he's getting along with Sam, and he might spoil it," Nathan said.
"If you and Daley can get together, so can they," everyone smiled.
"This is the next best thing to rescue!" Taylor laughed.
"We haven't had this much fun in years!" Jackson added.
"So operation… 'Seddie' is going to happen?" Carly questioned.
"Yes!" Daley exclaimed. "Nice name combination!"
"Why thank you!" Carly giggled.
Carly's POV
I've kind of wanted to get Sam and Freddie to get together for a while, and a beautiful tropical island is the perfect place to do it! I like it here so far!
Normal POV
Jackson spotted Lex and Freddie carry the dead pilot out of the plane and into the jungle. "Hey!" he screamed. "What are you doing?"
Lex looked over to him and yelled, "We have to bury him before he starts decaying!" Carly smiled and giggled. The girls eyed her.
"Do you like my little brother?" Daley suspiciously asked.
"Maybe…" Carly mumbled.
"Thank you! He needs some romance in his life. I mean, he's already gone through puberty!" Everyone laughed.
"You would be perfect for him," Melissa said. Carly blushed.
"Is it kind of weird that they are carelessly getting rid of a dead person?" Taylor asked.
"Let's not talk about it," Jackson replied, not wanting to touch on a sensitive issue.
"We should really be getting back to camp," Nathan suggested.
"Let's go!" Carly agreed, then they all started walking back to the plane.
"Sam! We have to bring our stuff to camp!" Carly yelled. Sam nodded.
"Let's go Eric," Eric nodded also and they followed everyone back to the plane.
"And that's the last of it!" Carly said exhausted. Almost everything was stripped off the plane. The luggage, Freddie's equipment, the water bottles, the DVDs, the chairs, and most importantly, all the rolls of toilet paper. Only the food was left in there.
"Guys, we have toilet paper!" Eric exclaimed. The experienced survivors yelled in joy, and the other three laughed in amusement.
Taylor stopped jumping and looked at them, "You won't be laughing once we run out of this," she said coldly. The three's laughter turned into horror when they thought about what she said.
"Okay," Daley began, "we should talk to them about how things work here!"
"Sure," Freddie interrupted. "But what about my cameras and my laptop? The power is going to run out eventually, so what am I going to do with them?" Freddie shivered at the thought of never being able to use his computer again.
"Don't worry about it," Lex patted him on the back. "We have a solar- powered charger! I found it in our plane on our first day here! I found another one on your plane too!" Freddie beamed.
"Uh, great! Sorry for interrupting Daley," Freddie said shyly.
"Its always Fred-dork that asks about the nerd stuff," Sam sighed.
"Fred-dork? Good one!" Eric gave Sam a high-five.
"Sam." Carly said.
"Eric." Daley complained.
"What? This girl could be my little sister!" Eric exclaimed at Daley.
"ANYWAY!" Daley continued. "I have some things to discuss."
"First of all, we try to keep a good supply of resources to stay alive, so we have to ration everything. The food, water, and now, the toilet paper."
"The food!?" Sam almost choked.
"Yes, Sam." Freddie added. "So that means you can't be a pig!"
"What did you say to me?" Sam threatened.
"Uh, nothing." Freddie coughed.
"That's what I thought." Sam smiled.
Daley smiled thinking of Carly's plan, then snapped right back into reality, "But we're going to pig out tonight," Sam beamed. "Secondly, we vote on important decisions."
"Great, Daley's democracy." Eric mumbled. Daley rolled her eyes and ignored him.
"But now we have an even number of people, so what should we do? Any suggestions?"
"Freddie's vote shouldn't matter!" Sam happily suggested.
"You are very disrespectful!" Freddie angrily yelled.
"You're disrespectful to your face," Sam called back. Eric snickered a little.
"I hate you!"
"No surprise there, Fredward."
"Fredward?" everyone looked at Taylor. "What? It's a weird name!"
"You hear that Fredward? Its weird, just like your butt."
"Guys," Carly said calmly.
"Well at least my butt isn't shaped like a ham!"
"Guys!" Carly raised her voice, but they just kept on going.
"You better take that back, or else I'll mess up your face more than it already is!"
"HEY!" Carly screamed at the top of her lungs. They stopped and turned away from each other. Eric tried to hold back his laugher.
"Thanks, Carly," Daley said quietly. "We'll solve the voting issue later. And rule three is to always have someone with you. The island is dangerous, despite its beauty. Anything can happen. Anything." They way she said it sent chills running through Carly's, Sam's, and Freddie's spines.
"Carly. Sam. You'll be staying here with the girls," Melissa pointed over to the shelter on the right. "Freddie, the guys sleep there," Melissa pointed to the left shelter. All three of them nodded.
"The trench is there just in case of a flood," Nathan explained. "There are five bridges. You already know about the one that leads to the beach. The beach has oysters and fish by the way. Um, the one to your right leads to the shower. Thanks for having all of this soap," Nathan grinned. "The one next to it leads to the jungle, so we can find fruit and firewood. The one after that, leads to the well, where we get water. Do NOT, drink from that well! It has to be filtered and boiled first. Understand?" The three nodded. "And the last one… leads to the latrine. I don't have to explain that one."
"Wait, is that like a type of mushroom?" Sam asked.
"I told you it sounds like a name of a mushroom!" Taylor said to Daley. Taylor isn't the brightest person in the world.
"No, Sam! it's a-" Carly went over to her and whispered something to Sam and a disgusted look appeared on her face.
"Gross! Good thing we have toilet paper!" Everyone laughed.
"I guess that's it for now," Jackson said.
"Let's get ready for dinner!" Eric exclaimed. Everyone cheered.
Day 1- Evening
A/N: Yeah, chapter 3! The first segment of the show was from "iCarly saves TV" and the second one was from the "Month of July" video on the iCarly website. (I LOVE the Seddiness in that video!) :P
The first island iCarly show was a success! We get to know the 29 Down crew a little more, even about a relationship story. Everyone is getting along. (kind of) Sam, Carly and Freddie are starting to get used to the idea of being stuck. Oh! Let's not forget about Operation 'Seddie'! Carly likes Lex, but does he feel the same way? Find out in chapter 4!
