Alright, chapter three is up and ready! I know it's been a while since the last update, I hit a dead end with the chapter, plus a few other things. Still no excuse though, I can't abandon you guys like that! I don't exactly know how much longer this story will be, but we'll see as it progresses.
...
Sam stood leaned up against the brick wall of the school. She was in her group's usual hangout outside the school. Emily, Carly, Freddie, and Eric were with her. Emily and Eric were playing a game of Crazy Eights, Carly and Freddie were (not so quietly) arguing over whether to go see Plain White Tee's or Care Bears on Fire. Sam rolled her eyes and stared down the street. She was having a mental fight with herself. And it had to do with Cat. Sam herself was graduating this year, Cat was going to be a senior during the next. What Sam was thinking happened all the time, though it didn't always stick. But Sam was determined to keep Cat, no matter what. She loved the living hell out of the girl. And she didn't care about being judged. After all, it would be worth it...
Sam's thoughts were interrupted by a question directed at her and she shook her head, looking around aimlessly. "Huh?"
"I asked you what do you think?" Carly said, hands on her hips.
"About what?" Sam said.
Freddie groaned. "See, you can't ask Sam. It'd be an irrelevant answer. She can't keep her mind on anything else but Cat and meat the majority of her time."
Sam had Freddie by the collar of his shirt at an instant. "You wanna say that again Freddick?" she growled.
Freddie swallowed and shook his head. Sam let him go and turned away from them.
"Now what are you two arguing about?" Sam hadn't been really been paying attention to them.
"Should we go see the Plain White Tee's this Saturday, or Care Bears on Fire?" Carly asked her.
"Umm, Care Bears on Fire." Sam said.
"Ha!" Freddie said, crossing his arms in victory.
"Oh, shut up!" Carly exclaimed.
Sam let them fade out of her hearing range as she let her mind wander again. She felt a tap on her shoulder and turned around.
"You alright?" Emily asked.
Sam shrugged. "Eh, I don't know."
"Well what's on your mind?" Emily said.
"Just something." Sam said. "Nothing that's serious right now."
Emily raised an eyebrow, but didn't push her. "Alright, well, if it ever does become too serious-"
"We're here for you." Eric finished for her, coming up behind her.
"Totally." Carly and Freddie said together, pausing their disagreement to agree with them.
Sam smiled at them. "Thanks, guys."
"No problem." Eric said. He held up the deck of cards in his hand. "Now, who wants to play an elimination round of Crazy Eights?"
...
After school, Sam and Cat met up in the front by Sam's motorcycle. Cat was immediately greeted with a long and passionate kiss and she giggled, returning the force of Sam's lips on hers.
"Hey, get a room!" a random person yelled from somewhere behind them.
"If you're buyin'!" Sam shouted at them without looking around.
"Sam!" Cat said, trying to stifle her laughter.
Sam shrugged. "Hey, free room right?" she said. She got on her motorcycle and patted the back of it for Cat to get on. Cat did so and they put on their helmets.
"Alright, kid." Sam said. "We got a stop to make before I take you home. Actually two stops."
"Where?" Cat asked.
"Surprise." Sam said.
"Two dates in one week?" Cat laughed. "Why are you so good to me?"
Sam simply chuckled at the comment and they sped away up the street. Only twenty minutes later is when Sam pulled over at their first "destination". It was a...pie shop?
"Sam?" Cat said, staring at Sam quizzically.
Sam got off, removing her helmet, and offering her hand to Cat. There was a playful smirk on her face. "You coming or what?"
Cat nodded and took Sam's hand. As they headed towards the front door of the pie shop, Sam began to explain why she'd brought her there.
"This is Galini's Pie." she said. "Best pie in all of Los Angeles. A few years ago, the owner passed away. Took the recipes with him to his deathbed."
"Wow." Cat murmured. She stared up at the sign.
"Me, Carly, Freddie, and Spencer were invited to his funeral." Sam continued. "We also had a contest on iCarly for who could come up with the best pie." She winced. "Unfortunately, people have less talent in cooking then we thought. Long story short, during the funeral, we tried to have Freddie hack into his computer to see if the recipes were in there. There was an incident, the computer fell, and the recipes were inside."
"They were literally inside the computer?" Cat said.
Sam nodded with a laugh. "Now his grandaughter Trudy runs the place." She grabbed hold of the door's handle and opened it, bowing slightly and gesturing inside. "After you, m'lady."
"Why, thank you kind sir." Cat said. She smiled at Sam as she walked past her.
"Hey, Sam!"
Behind the counter was a girl with two ponytails and glasses and an awkward grin plastered on her face. She came around the other side, headed towards the two girls.
"Hey, Tru-woah!" Sam strained on her sentence as she was enveloped in a huge hug from Trudy. "You're...kinda crushing me."
"Oh, sorry." Trudy said, dropping Sam. Cat narrowed her eyes at the woman.
"Tru, I'd like you to meet my girlfriend Cat." Sam introduced them. "Cat, this is Trudy. Galini's granddaughter."
"Nice to meet you." Trudy said, sticking out her hand to take Cat's.
Cat inwardly jumped at the strength of Trdyy's grip. "Hi. I'm so sorry to hear about your grandfather."
"Oh, it's alright." Trudy said, waving her off. She let go of Cat and turned to Sam. "So, what brings ya here?"
"I'm gonna need two of your best coconut cream pies." Sam said.
"Coming right up!" Trudy went back behind the counter and called into the kitchen, "Mario, we need two coconut cream pies!"
"No problem!" came the reply from the kitchen.
"So," Trudy began, giving her attention back to Sam and Cat. "How long have you two been dating?"
"One month." Cat said. "It was our anniversary yesterday."
"Awww, so cute." Trudy said, smiling.
"Yeah." Sam agreed with a grin going from ear to ear.
"Spencer hasn't said anything about me, has he? I know it's been a while, but you know..." Trudy hinted.
Cat gave Sam a look, which Sam returned with an 'I'll explain later' face.
"Uh, no." Sam said. "He hasn't said anything. But I'll be sure to bring him by soon."
"Good." Trudy said.
"Here comes the pies!" someone said from the kitchen, the same voice as earlier. A man emerged from the door with two slices of pie in his hands and forks between his fingers.
"Mario!" Sam greeted.
"Ah, Sam!" Mario said, chucking. "E 'cosà bello verdeti! How have you been?"
"It's good to see you, too, Mario." Sam said. "I've been doing great, actually."
"Nothing too serious, I hope." Mario said with a teasing wink.
"Well, nothing that will get me arrested anytime soon." Sam said.
"Good, good." Mario handed the pies to Sam and his eyes fell on Cat. "Now who's this?"
"I'm Cat." Cat responded.
"This is my girlfriend." Sam clarified as she tucked the forks in her front pocket.
"You are very beautiful." Mario complimented.
"Thank you." Cat said, a faint blush on her face.
Mario leaned over and whispered in Cat's ear, "You've been keeping her in check, right? Making sure she's being a good girl?"
Cat nodded. "Of course."
Mario chuckled and stood straight. "Well, it is so nice of you to drop by. Hopefully we'll see you again."
"Where else would I go to get my pie?" Sam said. She handed Cat a slice of pie then took her by th he hand and headed for the door. "See you guys later!"
"Sam, how are we gonna get on your motorcycle with these?" Cat asked when they were outside of the pie shop.
"Who said anything about driving?" Sam said. "The beach is around the corner."
"We're going to the beach?" Cat said, giddiness building up in her.
"Best place to eat Galini's." Sam said, grinning at her. "Come on."
They walked around the corner to the beach, their sneakers sinking into the sand. They took them off and tucked them under their arms, now walking barefoot on the sand. It was warm against the soles of their feet, due to the sun beating down on it. They kept going until they were a good few feet away from the shore, close enough to feel the breeze coming from the water but not so close that the water could reach them. They sat down cross-legged on the ground. Sam took the forks out of her pocket.
"Ready?" She asked, digging the fork into her pie.
Cat bit her lip and nodded eagerly, smiling. Sam scooped up the piece of pie and carefully passed it over to Cat, who closed her eyes and opened her mouth. Her lips closed around the fork and the flavor exploded over her tastebuds. A quiet moan escaped her as she slowly chewed.
"Oh, my God, that's so good." Cat said.
"Told ya." Sam said, laughing. She took a bite for herself and smiled in satisfaction, resting back on her elbows. "Now this is Heaven."
Cat giggled at her and fixed her attention onto her own pie. "How long are we staying here?"
"I was planning on until we finished eating, but if you want to stay longer we can." Sam said.
"You know I do." Cat said.
"Well, alright." Sam said, smiling at her.
...
She stood at where the sand of the beach met the cement of the sidewalk. Her eyes were fixated on the two girls sitting near the shore. Her eyes narrowed at them. It wouldn't be much longer now. They were running out of time, they needed to do it tonight.
"Hey, what are you waiting for?!" a male voice called from behind her.
"I'm coming." She replied. "Just...hang on."
He appeared by her shoulder a second later, his breath on her ear. He knew where she was looking. "Don't worry about it. We'll have her tonight. We'll get our revenge." He patted her shoulder and started walking away. "Now come on. We have more to do."
She spared one more glance in their direction before making her way to follow her partner.

Okay, if you haven't read the preview chapter on the first story Opposites Attract, you probably don't know what's going to happen. I'd recommend not reading it, since it will ruin it, but you can if you want.
Translation: E 'cosà bello vederti means "It's so good to see you." in Italian.
