The Not So Sweet Life Of iCarly
Chapter 3. Adventure? More Like Badenture

This chapter is much longer but has less of Zack and Cody. Oh well, we can't all be perfect right?
Sorry for all the linebreaks and such too :P I do not own The Suite Life Of Zack and Cody or iCarly. I also do not own the word "Badenture" that goes to the people who post at Albino Blacksheep xP
Also today I would like you all to know that I am seeing Blink 182, Panic! At The Disco, Fall Out Boy, and Chester French :D

Now all Spencer could do was sit around and dread the mishaps that were going to happen Friday night around eight. He was a little nervous to say the least.

"Spencer!" Carly called out. Luckily her call erased the thoughts from his mind temporally.

"Yeah?"

"The hotel manager, Mr. Moseby wants to see you in the lobby for something." Carly explained.

"Oh god, for what?" Spencer asked thinking he may have done something wrong.

"Just something art related, nothing bad." Carly smiled at the relieved look on her older brother's face.

"Sweet!" Spencer said as he headed for the door. "I love to see my mad art skills recognized!"

Carly giggled. "Well, we're gonna do our first iCarly webcast rehearsal in our room then, kay Spence?"

"Sure thing, Carls." Spencer was already half way out the door and racing towards the lobby. When he got their he saw Mr. Moseby there waiting for him.

"Spencer Shay!" He greeted him.

"What's up?"

"I heard that you were an artist," Spencer nodded, "You see, what I need is you to work with one of our hotel employees on the a little project that requires his mechanical skills and your artistic skills." He explained.

"Unh hunh." Spencer said, "So who I am working with?"

"Well let my introduce you to him now." Mr. Moseby said as he lead Spencer to the elevator. When they both stepped in Spencer couldn't help but catch a glance at Maddie coming in the front doors to go to work. He smirked.

"Now, he may seem a little .... peculiar at first." Mr. Moseby said to Spencer.

"Ah no problem. People say that about me all the time."

Mr. Moseby raised an eyebrow at the young Spencer. "Ah here we are!" He announced.

"The basement?" Spencer asked.

"Yes. ARWIN!?" Mr. Moseby called out.

"Yes!" A voice called out as an answer. Out came an older looking man with a small tuff of hair on his head in a navy jumpsuit.

"I want you to meet Spencer, who will be helping you with the miniature golf course outside."

"Mini golf!" Spencer shouted. "I did a mini golf course in our apartments one time. It was so cool, all of Carly's friends came to play it and this one kid swallowed a golf ball!"

"Oh man! What happened to him?" Arwin asked.

"Enough!" Mr. Moseby broke up Spencer's ranting and Arwin's question. "So you have experience? That's good." He said to Spencer.

"Okay, wait. What do I get out of this?" Spencer asked before he agreed to anything.

"Umm, how about free room service for two weeks?" Mr. Moseby asked.

"Done." Spencer said as he shook hands with Mr. Moseby.

iCarly had finished their rehearsal and were about to get ready for their first webcast when they had decided on going down to the lobby to see what Spencer had gotten himself into this time.

"Yo! Candy counter girl!" Sam called out to the blond candy girl.

"Umm, yeah?" She asked.

"Did you see Spencer Shay, my older brother, come by here?" Carly asked knowing that she knew her brother on account of their date together.

"Oh! Yeah, he and Arwin went carrying junk outside. I think they're building something, I don't know."

"Ah, Spencer must be helping build a sculpture or something." Carly said to the rest of the iCarly gang.

"Oh, he's a sculptor?" Maddie asked interested.

"One of the best!" Sam exclaimed.

"Yeah." Carly agreed. "He's an artist but he's best at sculpting."

"He does seem like the creative type." Maddie said thinking.

"Yeah, you should see his socks." Freddie said recalling all of the crazy socks Spencer had got from his friend cleverly named 'Socko.'

Sam laughed. "Yeah they are pretty creative."

Carly playfully punched Sam's shoulder, "Hey, the socks are his thing." Carly said giggling.

"So he has a good sense of humor?" Maddie asked.

"Oh yeah, he's probably one of the funniest guys I know. But then again I do hang out with Fredward a lot so maybe it's just in comparison." Sam said smirking at Freddie who rolled his eyes.

"Alright, let's go find Spencer." Carly said to her bickering friends. "See ya later, Maddie."

"See you later, iCarly." Maddie said back but the gang barely heard it as they were already on the other side of the lobby walking through the front doors.

"Man, talk about a babe!" Freddie said. "I guess Spencer does have alright taste after-all!"

"Oh, give it up, Fredward." Sam said at the daydreaming Freddie. "Obviously she's interested in Spencer and not nerdy camera guys."

Freddie glared at Sam. "Well you know, things may not work out between them. And that's when I'll make my move." Freddie smiled, seeping back in his daydream.

"Whatever, like that's going to happen." Sam said back.

They had just made it around the corner of the building to a nice plot of land that had previously been used for somewhat of a park with wooden benches littering the area and a small brook running through it. Here Spencer and Arwin were unloading a bunch of mechanical tools and other odd stuff out of a couple of tubs and cardboard boxes.

"Not going to lie, this is really cool." Sam said looking around the little area that was completely hidden by the front of the hotel.

"Yeah really!" Carly exclaimed.

"Oh hey guys!" Spencer said as he saw his little sister and her friends come back to see them.

"Who's the dude?" Sam asked looking at the odd guy helping out Spencer.

"Oh, that's Arwin Hawkhauser! He's going to help me build a mini golf course!"

"Yeah, it's gonna be so awesome!" Arwin added.

Carly and Freddie looked a little offset at Arwin-not sure what to think of him while Sam smiled at him looking like she found a new friend.

"So what's up?" Spencer asked the gang.

"We were getting ready to do the first webcast of iCarly and decided to see what you were up to." Freddie explained.

"Ah, how'd you find me out here?" Spencer asked as he masterfully pulled out an odd looking contraption from one of the boxes.

"We asked your little female friend." Carly said in a joking manner.

"Miss candy girl." Sam added in the same manner as her best friend.

"I gotta hand it to ya, Spencer," Freddie started, "that Maddie is a true fox if I ever saw one."

"Yeah man!" Spencer gave Freddie a high-five. He was feeling quite proud of himself to have someone acknowledge the fact he had got a cute date. Judging from the day-dreamy look on Freddie's face, Spencer was his new hero as of now.

"Alright ladykiller!" Sam said to Spencer noticing the adrenalin he was getting.

"Hey, you got a date with Maddie?" Arwin asked.

"Heck yeah!" Spencer replied.

Arwin looked like had to think it over a bit before he just nodded and said "Cool, she's an awesome chick."

"Yeah, she seems pretty nice." Carly said back. "Alright, we'll leave you guys to work. We have to go shoot iCarly in the new location." Carly said adding something similar to 'sparkle fingers' to her sentence.

"Alright kiddo, let me know how it goes." Spencer said waving off to his friends.

Spencer and Arwin had gotten a good start with the mini golf project. They'd gotten the bases done for the course and had their ideas blooming. Spencer was on his way to the elevator when-

"Spudnik!" Spencer turned around to see London Tipton speed walking in what must have been at least five inch heels towards him.

"Hey London." He greeted. "And it's Spencer."

"Oh whatever. I heard you were going out to dinner with Maddie!"

"Mhhm."

"Well, you're in luck!" London exclaimed clapping her hands together. "Yay you!"

"Yay me ... ?" Spencer mocked clapping his hands together asking for an elaboration.

"I have decided I'm to make your dinner the best dinner ever by taking you shopping with me to the best stores so you won't look a hobo anymore! Oh, no offence." She said smiling. This girl was more dense than anything.

"Okay, but I don't think Maddie minds the way I dress and-"

"Oh come on!" London said as she grabbed Spencer by the ear and practically dragged him back across to the front doors.

"Ow, Ow, Ow, Ow, OWW!" Spencer had ripped out of London's grip. "At least let my tell my sister."

"Ugh, here." London grumbled as she handed Spencer her phone. Spencer had called Carly to tell her that something 'came up' and he'd be back soon.

"Alright, to the limo!" London said as she took back her expensive iPhone and started towards the exit.

"Limo!?" Spencer was right on her heels now.

"In five...four....three...two!"

"Hey! I'm Carly!"

"And I'm Sam!"

"And believe or not, this is iCarly!"

"Now you may be wondering where we are at right now,"

"So we'll tell you! We're at the Tipton Hotel,"

"In Boston!"

"Massachusetts!"

"Hey look! iCarly are making their first webcast here!" Cody shouted to Zack from his laptop.

Zack came over and looked at the screen. "And to think they're doing that webcast right above our heads." Zack looked up at ceiling.

"This is, like, really epic. We're right below three of the most popular kids on the Internet!" Cody said looking up with Zack as if they could actually see the Internet famous stars through the ceiling.

"True that. Maybe if we get in good with them, we could be on iCarly!" Zack said as if he'd come up with some genious plan.

"I don't know, the way you said it you made it sound like we'd be using them to be on the internet." Cody said looking skeptical. "But I would love to be friends with them. I mean, we met them already, maybe we should take up our offer and show them around the hotel." Cody suggested.

"Heck, let's show them all around Boston!" Zack said looking into the air with awe.

"There's an idea."

After the webcast was over Zack and Cody decided to go up one floor to see if the iCarly gang would like to go on an all-expensense-paid-tour around the hotel with studly tour guides, you guessed it, the twins.

"Should we knock?" Zack asked as they arrived at the door to the iCarly suite.

"How else are they supposed to know someone's at the door?" Cody replied as he knocked at the door.

The blond twins were surprised to see an older lady answer the door, her eyes jumping between the two of them.

"Um hi...?" Zack started.

"Hello." She was quick to answer back. "Who are you and what business do you have coming to this suite?"

"Uh.." Cody stammered but his brother was quick to pick up, "Look we're not here to be interrogated, we just want to know if Carly, Sam, or Freddie is there."

"That's not how you treat an older lady who answers the door!" Cody yelled at his brother. "No matter how .... creepy they can be." He muttered out looking at the oblivious lady who was still glaring at them with wide eyes.

"Now that's a nice boy!" She exclaimed. "You can come in." She said to Cody. "And you can wait outside here." She said to Zack before closing the door in his face.

"Uh, so nice of you to invite me in Mrs...?"

"Benson. Mrs. Benson. Freddie Benson's mother."

"Ah. Well, I just wanted to know if Carly, Sam, and Freddie would mind me and my brother showing them around the hotel." Cody said trying to act as innocent and sweet as possible.

"Well of course you can! But, um, not Freddie. He's staying here with me so we can knit scarves together. He gets cold so easily." She said reminiscing on memories.

"Well, that's okay. I wouldn't want to interrupt any plans you may have made with Freddie." Sometimes being nice had it downfalls but this was a major plus.

"And this is the restaurant the Tipton has. It's indoors and outdoors and our mom sings there sometimes." Zack explained to the girls as he waved his hand at the beautiful eatery.

"Oh so your mom's a singer?" Carly asked interested. "What kind of music does she sing?"

"She sings any kind of music but here they have her sing boring show tunes." Cody answered.

"Ew." Sam furrowed her eyebrows at the thought of show tunes.

"That's what I say." Zack replied as he lead the way towards the kitchen.

"Are we even allowed to be back this way?" Carly asked when she found herself standing to the entrance of the kitchen.

"Probably not." Zack said as he peaked through the little window on the door that was clearly marked 'Staff Only.'

"One time we helped cook here for a food critic." Cody said nonchalantly which made the girls raise an eyebrow.

"Come on!" Zack swung the door to the kitchen open beckoning for them to go in. "Just try to hide behind that counter."

"I don't know about this." Carly said looking uneasy at the idea of sneaking into a four star 'Staff Only' kitchen.

"Don't be a fuddy duddy." Sam said as she snuck through the door and dove behind the counter.

"I'll go with you if you're afraid." Cody said to Carly. He stood up straighter in a attempt to make him look taller, braver, and more studly.

"Okay." Carly said back. It was better to be caught with a pal then being caught alone she thought.

"Well come on!" Zack shouted in a low whisper.

Carly and Cody ducked in the kitchen and Zack followed right after them.

"I heard they were making this really good cake for some dude's wedding." Zack explained as he peaked his head over the counter searching for a wedding cake.

"You're not going to-" Cody started.

"Oh, I am." Zack said as he watched a chef bring a large cake in through a door and lay in on the counter they were hiding behind. "Perfect. We get the first taste!" Zack said as he wiped his finger down the side of the cake getting a big amount of white icing on his finger. "Yumm." He said as he licked it off. "Come on, try some."

"That's for someone's wedding! I'm sure they don't want their cake to be ruined for their wedding!" Carly complained.

"Relax, babe." Zack said trying to chill out Carly. "The chef's will see this and fix it."

"What if they catch us?" Cody asked.

"Alright fine! You to scardy-cats hightail it out of here while Sam and I try some delicious cake."

Sam took her finger and swiped some of the icing with it. "Come on you guys." She said as she licked it off her finger. "Man! This cake is really good!" She took another swip of icing.

"We're leaving." Cody said as he and Carly crawled to the edge of the counter and eyed the door. Just as someone was leaving the kitchen they both slipped out the door.

"Man, talk about wussies." Zack said to Sam.

"You're telling me."

There was something about riding in a limo that excited Spencer. London soon found this out as she watched Spencer stick his head out the sunroof yelling to other cars and sprawling out on the leather wrap-around seats.

London was relived when they finally got to their destination, a small building on the side of the road that read 'Gracie's Styles' in some fancy font. London sighed looking at the building as she would a long lost lover.

"Impressive." Spencer said as he walked by London and looked at the building.

"Oh, it's more than impressive. It's ultra impressive." She said as she grabbed Spencer's arm and lead him in the store.

Once Spencer was in he looked around. Fancy dresses and purses were all he could see. "This seems like kind of a chick store."

"Yeah, we're going shopping for me first!" London said as if the answer were obvious. "We're going across the street for your clothes later. Now tell me which one of these sunglasses look better on me." London said as she tried on two pair of designer sunglasses and modeled them for Spencer.

He sighed as he tried not to die from utter boredom holding all of her dresses and purses and she looked around empty handed.

After that nightmare was over they dropped off their bags and headed across the street to shop for Spencer.

"Now what you need is something high class but not too high." London said as she looked at Spencer up and down deciding what his style was. "Do you go for an artsy hobo kinda look?" London asked honestly.

Spencer creased his eyebrows together. "No. I wear what I like." He said simply.

"Ugh, that gives me nothing to work with." London complained but nonetheless picked out a purple and brown striped button up shirt from a rack. "Like this?"

"No not really." Spencer said giving it a disgusted look.

"Good! Me neither." London said she put the shirt back and continued looking.

Spencer looked around a bit too and found some cool jeans he could wear. "Hey London, how about these?" Spencer said as he showed her a rack of dark wash jeans.

"Hey, you have some style after-all!" London said to him clapping. "You don't want them too tight but dark enough." She said shifting through them finding the perfect pair.

"Hunh, you know you are pretty smart when it comes to fashion and stuff like that. Maybe you're not a lost cause after-all, like Maddie said." Spencer said quickly before regretting almost every word that came out of his mouth.

"Whatever that means." London said as she drapped two pair of jeans on his shoulder.

"Now for a shirt." London said looking around the store.

Maddie was now regretting saying yes to Spencer. It was an impulse move on her side. She couldn't just back out, the dinner was tomorrow, but still she didn't want to lead him on. She needed to go to dinner and tell him the truth there. She just hoped that he wouldn't take it the wrong way. Man, sometimes being a girl really did suck.
