Chapter 4: Shopping, nicknames and pranks

Sam`s (P.O.V.)

We went to the mall. We walked in a shop that was full of short dresses. Carly was jumping up and down from joy, but I just stood there with a blank expression on my face. I did not enjoy this, but there is one good thing about this- I get to see Freddie get all nervous around me. I walked by a lot of dresses and didn`t look at any of them though Carly looked at every single dress we walked by.

''Go to the changing room.'' Carly said.

''Why?''

''So you can try on some dresses.''

''Fine, but remember-nothing pink!''

''Okay, okay.''

I walked in to a changing room. Soon Carly came and gave me a lot of dresses to try on. And by a lot I mean A LOT.

''That`s a lot of dresses don't you think?''

''No, I don't think. Now quit complaining and try these on!''

''Fine.'' I tried them on.

''Carly… all these dresses are awful!'' I handed them to Carly and walked out of the changing room.

I looked around and saw a spot full of black dresses. There where short, long, tight and un-tight. I walked over to the dresses. I took few and then went back to the changing rooms. They were all beautiful, but I especially liked a short, tight dress that showed my curves. It ended just above the knee and it had sleeves like a tank top, so basically it was a top sewed together with short, tight skirts, but I liked it. It looked cute.

''Carly this dress is perfect!''

''Show me!'' she looked at the dress.

''You look awesome! Wait till Freddie sees this!''

''I know.''

''We have to get some shoes.''

''Fine.'' Maybe I should buy a black bra too? Yep. After shoe shopping I`m gonna go to Build-A-Bra. We walked in a shoe shop. There were a lot of shoes (of course), but I spotted a par of converse sneakers.

''.Gosh! Carls I have to get these. They are awesome!''

''Sam we are here to buy you shoes not sneakers.''

''Please…. Please, please, please, please, please!''

''OK. But only if you let me buy you shoes.'' Fine by me. At least I don`t have to pay for them.

''OK. Remember-black shoes.''

''Yea, Yea.''

I was sitting on a chair waiting for Carly. Finally she came back with three pairs of high heel shoes. Two of them where platform shoes and the third pair wasn`t platforms, but it had a high heel (very high heel) and a platform under the front of the shoe. One of the platforms was black but the other was like a sparkling, silvery white shoe. The third shoe was black and the platform and the heel was a silver color (A.N/these are the shoes that Jennette wore to the Australian KCA`s).

''Hey Carls? Would it be possible to buy all these shoes?''

''Sure! I wanted to talk you in to buying them, but since you asked I`m allowing you to buy those sneakers that you liked.''

''Thanx Carly! You`re the best!'' I hugged her.

''I know.'' She said and walked to pay for the shoes. I took the converse and went to pay. We went to Build-A-Bra and then back to Carly`s house.

Freddie`s (P.O.V.)

I was a little nervous about tomorrow night. I didn`t know what to wear. I should ask Carly`s help. I walked across the hall and knocked on the door.

''Come in!'' said Carly. I opened the door and walked in. Sam was sleeping on the couch. There were a lot of shopping bags on the floor.

''What`s up?'' she asked in a quiet tone, probably not to wake Sam up.

''I need your help. I have no idea what to wear tomorrow. Can you help me?''

''Of course! Just let`s go upstairs. I don`t want to wake Sam up. She`s exhausted.''

''From all that shopping?''

''How did you know we went shopping?'' I pointed to the bags. ''Oh. Yea. So let's go?''

''Aha.'' We walked upstairs.

''So what do you have in mind?''

''Well I was thinking that you could wear black jeans, a light silvery shirt and a black vest, but not the dorky one that your mom bought you.''

''Ok, Ok.''

Carly and I talked about stuff for iCarly and then my mom texted me saying that I need to go home.

''Bye Carly!''

''Bye Freddie, see you tomorrow.''

I walked downstairs. Sam was still sleeping. She looked so peaceful and not deadly. I actually thought she looked sweet and I know the whole 'I hate you' is just an act. Deep down Sam is nice and generous. I just have to get that sweet girl out. I walked over to her and kissed her cheek.

''Good night Princess Puckett.'' I swear I saw her smile. I walked home and started to look through my closet. There had to be something I could wear tomorrow.

Sam`s (P.O.V.)

I woke up when I heard footsteps. I knew it was Freddie because it was late. His crazy mother probably texted him something like: ''Freddie bear come home it`s time for your tick bath.'' I knew Freddie hated her and the tick baths. I knew he was looking at me. I could feel it. I could feel a connection between us. He is sweet and polite, but I know when he wants to he can be mean and horrible. I liked that about him. I felt him moving closer and placing a kiss on my cheek.

''Good night Princess Puckett.''

I couldn`t help but smile. The he backed away and went home. I got up and walked in to the kitchen. I ate some ham and walked up to Carly`s room.

''Hey!''

''Oh good, you`re up!''

''I can spend the night here. Right?''

''Of course!''

''So what should we do now?'' I sat opposite her on the floor.

''We could plan the next iCarly?''

''Shure. But we need Fredlumps for this don't we?''

''Not really. We talked while you were sleeping.'' My face went from excited to sad. I really wanted Freddie to come.

''But if you want I can invite him over?''

''That`d be great!'' She pulled out her phone and started to tap the screen. I laid on the floor. After a not so long Freddie ran inside.

''Where is she? Is Sam ok?'' What was he talking about? I`m fine.

''I`m fine.'' I sat up and he ran and hugged me.

''Oh thank god you`re ok! I thought I would have to drive you to the hospital.''

''Why? I`m fine.''

''You are now.''

''What the hell are you talking about?''

''Carly texted me saying that you were feeling sick and dizzy.''

''What? I am and was perfectly fine.'' I said with a little chuckle.

''Carly! Why the hell did you do that? I almost had a heart attack. I was really worried.''

''You were?'' I was surprised that he was so worried.

''Yeah. I was.'' I smiled and he smiled back.

Carly`s (P.O.V.)

''Carly, you didn`t answer my question. Why did you do that?''

''I needed you to get here. Fast. And if something was wrong with either me or Sam I knew you would be here fast. And since I can`t feel sick and text at the same time I told you that Sam was feeling sick. Did that answer your question?''

''Kinda. So why did you want me here?

''Oh we wanted to plan the next iCarly''

''Oh, well maybe we should go up to the studio?''

''Good idea. Let's go.'' I said and walked up to the 3rd floor and in to the studio. Sam plopped on her favorite purple bean-bag chair, I sat on the yellow one and Freddie sat opposite me and Sam on the red bean-bag chair.

''So I was thinking we should do something funny.'' Said Freddie. Sam and I laughed so hard that my stomach hurt and I bet that Sam`s hurt too.

''No…. I thought we were going to play chess and listen to classical music.'' Sam said with sarcasm dripping from her voice.

We planned the next iCarly and it was 9.00 p.m.

''so what do you wanna do now?'' Sam and I exchanged looks and I thought for a moment.

''Maybe we should play a game?'' I suggested

''ok, but first I need some meat.''

''Of course!''

''What`s your problem Benson?''

''Nothing I just… nothing. Go and eat your meat.'' She walked out and came back with a full plate of ham.

''So, did you and Mr. Nub here decided what game are we gonna play?''

''No. and besides, my mom will probably text me in 5…4…3…2…''

''Bibp, bibp''

''Ok Benson I have to admit that that was impressive and did I forgot to mention?''

''Thanx and what?''

''Your mother is a crazy nut case!''

''Thanx! So I`ll see you tomorrow?''

''Sure.'' I said and Sam growled.

''Whatever. Bye.''

''Good night Princess Puckett! You too Carly.'' and he left.

Freddie`s (P.O.V.)

I was about to leave when I realized that I left my phone in the studio. I reached for the door knob, but I heard Carly and Sam laugh.

''Awww! He called you Princess Puckett. How sweet...''

''I know. If anyone else called me that I would punch them in the face, but I like when he calls me that.''

''Awww Sam, you`re in love!'' She said happily.

''I am not!'' she exclaimed.

''Are too!''

''Am not!''

''Are too!''

''Am not!''

''Are not!''

''Am too.''

''HA! You admitted it I heard you.''

''Fine I MAY love him. I`m not sure yet. I just hope that he makes a move tomorrow night at the club.''

''Yea. You two look so cute together.''

''We do?'' We do? I asked the same time Sam did.

''Mmhmm''

''Hey look! Freddie left his phone. Should I go and give it to him?''

''Yes Sam, go!''

Oh no. I ran down the stairs. Lucky for me Spencer was in his room. I ran out of Carly`s apartment and in to mine. After a brief I hear a knock on my door. I opened the door reviling a smiling Sam.

''Hi Freddie! You left your phone in the studio.'' She said handing me the phone.

''Thanx.''

''Um…. Freddie? Why are you all sweaty?''

''Uh… I was working out.''

''Oh really?''

''Yes! Why don`t you believe me?''

''I don`t know. I just…'' it looked like she was thinking.

''Ok. If you really were working out let`s see it.''

''See what?''

''Your equipment.''

''Um… ok?'' This is not good. We went to my room. Lucky for me I didn`t clean my room so the equipment was still on the floor (I was working out last night).

''Ok. Let`s see your muscles!''

''What?''

''Your muscles. Show me them.''

''OK.'' I took of my shirt and just stood there. Sam was staring at me. I moved closer and pulled her to my chest by her waist her hands on my chest.

''So, like what you see? Again?''

''Mhm. Wait. No, now let go of me.''

''Ok.'' There was a big smirk on my face. She did like my muscles.

''OK. Well…I…should….um probably go.'' She stuttered out. Oh right. I was still shirtless. Score one for Freddie. She was staring again. I cannot wait till tomorrow.

''So… bye.'' She said and walked out. I managed to catch her before she walked in to Carly`s apartment.

''Good night Princess Puckett!''

''Good night tech king.'' Tech king. I like it. Well better than nub. She turned around and walked in to Carly`s apartment. I heard a loud squeal from the apartment.

''AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!''

They screamed so loud I thought that the windows would break. I closed my apartment door, walked in to my room and went to sleep.
