Hey guys! Here's chapter four of the story. I hope you enjoy!
"Shopping is so much fun!" Cat squealed. She was thankful that Robbie had gotten her this gift card. What she didn't know was how much more was in store for her later that day. They had been shopping for two hours. Sam kept begging her to go home, but Cat denied her many requests. She didn't want to leave just yet.
"We've been shopping forever. Why don't we go home and just enjoy this wonderful day?" Sam snarled. She had been having a crappy day so far and nothing would cheer her up. Cat may have tried to stay positive, but Sam wasn't going to even try. Even though she was now an adult, she certainly wasn't acting like one.
"Let's go get something to eat. I'm starving! Come on Sam, food always makes you happy." This made Sam crack a small smile. Despite her harsh words, the energetic girl wouldn't stop until she made her happy. The two girls walked to the food court, bags in hand, a genuine smile on cat's face and a fake smile plastered on Sam's.
Freddie and Robbie had been blowing up balloons for hours. Out of breath, they decided to sit down and take a break. "We still have so much to do!" moaned Freddie. The girls could come home any second now. They didn't want to run out of time. "Don't worry Freddie," Robbie replied, "knowing Cat, the girls will be out for another two hours at the least." Freddie sighed. He hoped Robbie was right. Doing this for Sam would brighten up her day. He just wanted her to be happy.
After ten more minutes, the boys jumped up. Freddie ran to the nearest ice cream shop and picked up an ice cream cake that read, "Happy Birthday Sam and Cat!" in red icing. They figured that was a safe color to use due to the girls differing personalities. Robbie hung up streamers and place birthday hats on the counter he girls usually used to make breakfast. The balloons they had blown up hung from the ceilings. Robbie was standing on a ladder hanging up a banner that read "Happy 17th birthday!" Freddie walked into the apartment. "You can't hang that up," Freddie mentioned. "Why not? Cat's turning seventeen!" he replied. "Yeah, but Sam's turning eighteen! " Freddie retorted. Before Robbie could interject, Freddie climbed up the ladder and tore down the sign. He replaced the now crumpled banner with his own that read "Happy eighteenth!" "Hey!" Robbie yelled. Freddie climbed down the ladder and started arguing with Robbie. This lasted for two minutes until Robbie's cell phone began to ring. "I have to take this," Robbie said as he gave one last glare to Freddie. "It's my girl. Hello?" he answered politely.
"Hi Robbie. I just wanted to say thanks again for the gift card. We had so much fun shopping. We're exhausted and probably going to go home now. Thanks again!" "Cat wait!" he shouted, but the phone hung up before he had the chance to make up an excuse. "Cat and Sam are coming home!" "Oh no! Let's just hang up both of our signs," Freddie agreed. "Ok," Robbie answered with a smile. "I'll go put the candles on the cake." Freddie grabbed the candles from the drawer and began placing them on the ice cream cake- eighteen of them. "You have an extra candle," said Robbie. "No, I don't," argued Freddie. The two boys began to get into another huge quarrel.
"It's our birthday, we went shopping- this couldn't be a better day!" Cat exclaimed. She felt like a princess today and it was all thanks to Robbie. "Yeah, whatever," moaned Sam. Sure Cat had had a great day, but Sam hadn't. Nothing could shake her of this bad mood. She looked out the window. There were kids playing, tossing the ball to one another. One boy and two girls appeared. A smile appeared on Sam's face. The scene in front of her reminded her of Carly, Freddie and herself. One of the girls punched the boy in the arm when he wouldn't hand her the ball. She thought of her and Freddie. The relationship between them was once similar to that. Now it was an awkward and confusing relationship that made zero sense to either one of them. "Sam? Sam, did you hear me?" Cat appeared on Sam's side of the vehicle with the door open. "We're home." Sam stepped out of the car. To her it felt like another normal boring day of walking into their apartment. She sighed and slammed her door. Sam and Cat began to stroll to their house.
"I hear them!" said Freddie, "We need to hide!" Robbie reached for the switch on the wall and hid behind the house. "Freddie?" Robbie slowly said. "Yeah…." he answered in the dark. "I forgot to get the puppy I was supposed to give Cat for a birthday gift…"
So that was it! Will Robbie be able to go back and get the puppy? Please feel free to review!
