Thank you all for reading. I am going to change the layout of the chapters to be more story based than script like. I will retain the vibe and feelings I am going for hopefully. Please read and review I hope you all like and are enjoying so far!

Chapter 4: Finding someone unexpectedly!

The girls tell Gibby to leave as they head back upstairs to the studio

"Spencer RIBS momma's HUNGRY!" Sam says on her way to the stairs. Spencer glances over at Sam and says ok when Carly interrupts "NO NOT UNTILL WE ARE DONE!" Sam looks at Carly and thinks to herself this conversation will not be pleasant. Carly has never been like this.

Gibby walks out of the Shay's apartment and knocks on the Benson's door. Mrs. Benson opens the door. Hello she said. "Hey Mrs. B. can I come in and talk with Freddie?" She looks at me with kind of a sad expression and said "Sorry Gibby but Freddie was wanting some time alone and doesn't want to speak with anyone." Gibby looks at Mrs. Benson with a grin and a gaze…. "But it's the Gibster". She chuckled a little "no not even the Gibster" He now looks a little lost that look that a small child gets after they just got in trouble. "Now what does Gibby do?" I look at him and then "Here" I say to him and hand him a bottle of tick/lice shampoo. "What's This?" Gibby asks. I responded Tick and lice shampoo so you can go take a bath and use this. Gibby looked at it and then said excitedly "will this make my hair more like Freddie's with shine and bounce?" Sweet kid " Yup I have been using this on Freddie since Birth" Before I could finish he was running down the hallway yelling Yeah Gibby… what a strange child.

Back in the studio the conversation is really getting heated between Carly and Sam.

But Car… Sam tried to get something out but she was not having her way this time "NO" I said to her. Sam responded with a "but Carly" I was not having any of it. "FIX IT…" I said to her in the sternest meanest voice I think I have ever done especially to Sam.

"BUT CARLY YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND I DON'T WANT TO." I started to say just then Shay cuts me off again. "WHY NOT… why be selfish… why do I have to lose a friend" She had a point but she will not make me budge on this one. "Listen Carly you couldn't understand." I thought that would by me time since my feelings are always a tough subject for me to get into and she knew that, but this isn't like any other day. "EXPLAINE…" is the only word that came out of Carly's mouth. She isn't backing down I stay quiet and don't say anything "I will just bug you until you tell me"… with that I knew I had to leave. "Carls I don't want to talk about it and … whatever, we know what we are doing for the show, and I'm outta here." I grab my bag to leave, just as I reached the door Carly Grabs my shoulder and turn me around. Just then I tear up no longer able to contain everything going on inside.

"I love him…and the nub doesn't love me back…how would you handle that kind of CHIZ Carly…?" I knew that was going to be a shock but I didn't expect her to have that same look that Freddie had that night when I kissed him. Carly was in a total shock and for once she…she didn't have anything to say. It looked like she was going to mouth something when a loud crash from downstairs happens. We both hear Spencer scream "CARLY" I thought great now what.

We run downstairs to a cloud of smoke and fire from the stove with Spencer fighting it back. Spencer being Spencer is very much in panic mode "RIBS….AHHHHHHH…..FIRE….." He then goes to grab the fire extinguisher from the wall. I look at Carly and her face completely changes to panic. "SPENCER NO REMEMB" Just then FLAMES are shooting out of a fire extinguisher… I watch in amazement and thought how does that happen. Only Spencer can have the one thing that is supposed to stop a fire shoot flames out from it bigger than the fire he is trying to stop. Lewbert walks by and sees the smoke and grabs his phone knowing that this could be bad.

Lewbert dials 911 and begins to panic "AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH". "Excuse me is this an emergency this is an emergency line and not to be" " there is a fire at the Bushwell building" " Please remain calm and tell me your name" "My name is AAAAAAHHHHHH My wart is on fire" Ok Mr. this line is for emergencies only if you have a real emergency should you " Lewbert dropped the phone as Spencer was coming out to tell him they put out the fire. Lewbert screams out something that sounded like duck and cover save my wart and falls down the stairs. Spencer then picks up the phone to talk to the operator. "Hello sorry about that there was a fire at apt 8C but we have put it out." " Spencer is that you…?" "Rachelle…" I look at Carly and she is looking at Spencer " God even on 911 calls" she then slams the door on him and runs upstairs. "Long time no chat chica" "well you can't dial 911 anymore remember too many fires … hey since we can't talk anymore like we used to want to go get some dinner…..Spencer….Spencer are you there….?"

GREAT HE SAW ME I think to myself opening my door to the apartment. I don't look at him but I heard him say he would have to call them back…. "whoa… hey kiddo where have you been?" I didn't respond but pulled the key out of the door and stepped in just as I was going to close it he spoke to me again. "Freddie wait… whatever it is… you can … you know…you're like my little bro… what I am trying to say." With that I cut him off "Got it Thanks" with that I close the door and head to my room.

Spencer standing in the hall way both doors closed thinks to himself, WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?

I head to my room it was good to see Spence but I am going to have to not get used to that I won't be around to much longer. I place the stack of mail on my table and start to look over the brochures I requested from some private schools. After about 15 minutes one of them looks really interesting so I open my laptop and start looking at the website. Looking at rival school links I saw one that I didn't request for but the school looked familiar… or at least sounded familiar so I start looking it over. It looks really cool then I click on the student body page there has got to be a reason that it seems to ring a bell…. Just then I let out an audible gasp a picture and a name…

MELANIE PUCKETT

I search the site more and more looking at pictures of the student body and one thing is for certain…. Sam does have a twin sister… MELANIE IS REAL. My thoughts start to do circles in my head. That means I kissed her that time not Sam. Why would same let me think it was her… I went to moogle and searched for like 20 minutes and I don't know how I did it but I ended up finding a number. I debated but dialed.

RING….RING…RING…

A sigh of relief no one there I thought to hang up but just then I heard a groggy voice… "hello" great someone answered " uh umm hi" The voice responds sounding confused " who is this" " Is this Melanie…Melanie Puckett?" man I am a nub I thought. "yes… who is this" ok so I have her on the line I should hang up now but my mouth won't stop " Freddie Bens" with that she cuts me off " Freddie Hey" she still sounds confused . "where did you get this number" Crap I thought I can't tell her how it sounded kinda stalkerish… but once again my mouth isn't cooperating I guess not talking to anyone for a while made me want to talk " well… funny story so I will make it short. I was online looking at some private schools and I saw a name of one I recognized. While searching the site I realized it was familiar when on the student body page…" she cuts me off. "did you get this number from Sam?" "PFFT" that wasn't supposed to come out oh great… "what wrong" Melanie said sounding like she made a mistake. "nothing" I responded.

Freddie Benson is calling me…. So he knows I am real…. But he didn't find out from Sam what is going on here. "Freddie why are you looking into private schools?" Wow I need to think of the right thing to say here. "you know lots of great opportunities for my future and.." she cuts me off. "what did Sam do?" Freddie responds quickly "why is this about Sam? Cant I…" Oh I see this is going nowhere so I cut him off again. "You wouldn't have called me Freddie… Freddie do I need to call Carly to get it out….Sam…" He cuts me off this time forcefully I kinda liked it too. "Don't CALL SAM…" he paused for some time I was about to say something when he started again. " Do you have time I haven't talked to anyone in about a week…" Wow this is major I thought… I am going to have to wake up more get some coffee he did wake me. "Hey ok that is no problem, is this your number? Give me a few minutes to wake up more and I will call you back."

Oh Chiz I forgot of the time difference. "Oh yeah that's fine what time is it there." Maybe I should just let her go. "It's a few past midnight here" He was sweet trying not to bother me offering to talk another day. "No this will be good it sounds like you need to talk. Just give me a few minutes. Grab a coffee I call you back." Ok she wants to talk still. "bye" and with that she hung up.

I sat a few minutes thinking to myself… ok so Melanie is real… but Sam was ok letting me think that she wasn't… wait did Melanie…OH NO that means Melanie really did like me… I hope she doesn't think me looking up…..NAH

End of chapter 4: WOW so Carly now knows but can't respond to what she found out. Did anyone see Melanie coming? What will she and Freddie talk about? Does she still like Freddie? Read and review tell me what you think of newer format. I will continue with chapter 5 shortly.
