AN- Okay, I forgot to mention that Invader Johnny helped me figure out the whole Cibby plot! This is what he said: "Maybe you should have a one side Cibby from Gibby's end at the beginning and Carly rejecting him, then she starts to like him but he has a new girlfriend." And when I read that review, I thought it'd be kind of…fascinating if Carly was finally the desperate one! So yup :)
Enjoy and Review!
"Guys," Freddie said, excitedly, running out of the guest room. "You'll never believe it."
"If I won't believe it, I don't care," Sam said, turning up the TV volume.
Gibby turned it back down. "Sam! This could be important! What if it's about hand soap? We can never miss anything about hand soap."
"It's not about hand soap. Just listen!" Freddie told them, getting agitated. "I just got off the phone with my uncle, and turns out, he lives here in California."
"Still not hearing the 'unbelievable' news you supposedly have," Sam said.
"My uncle works at Disneyland here and he got all of us free passes to stay for the entire day.
"Whaaaaattttt?" Sam asked, angling her head to the side.
"Well, it's still not better than hand soap so—" Gibby started, but was interrupted by Carly.
"That's awesome," She said, excitedly.
"Yeah," Freddie agreed. "So are we goin or what?"
"Shoosh yeah."
…
"Uncle Greg!" Freddie greeted his uncle with a huge hug. "How's Aunt Susan?"
"Same old, same old," He answered.
"Well then I guess she hasn't gotten any better," Freddie mumbled. "These are my friends Sam, Gibby, and Carly."
"Nice to meet all of you," He told them, grinning. "Now get to work."
They all frowned. "Um, what do you mean 'get to work'?" Sam asked, quoting what he had said.
"I mean, bathrooms need to be cleaned, roller coasters need to be oiled, the food stands need to be worked."
"Um, I don't know if you got us mixed up with your little janitor posse but—"
"Didn't Freddie tell you guys?" Greg asked.
"Freddie didn't tell us anything," Sam spoke through gritted teeth.
"Well, you have to get to work now." Greg said. "Freddie, you and the feisty one work the left side of the park." He paused. "And you two, the weird kids who have said nothing this whole time, will work the right side of the park."
Sam turned to Freddie. "I swear, if I come outta this theme park with the tiniest bit of perspiration visible on my body, I am going to kill you!"
…
"Alright, Benson, this is how it's going to be. You work, I take the credit, got it?"
"No, we have to stay together the whole trip…Uncle Greg said so." Freddie said.
"Uncle Greg also said there was gonna be ham but you don't see that here!"
Freddie rolled his eyes. "Let's start by oiling the coasters."
Sam reluctantly followed, climbing on one of the rides.
This ride looked almost like a train/railroad type thing. It had one log cart and tracks leading in to what looked like a mine shaft or a dark cavern.
Sam and Freddie climbed into one of the carts, each oiling one side of the roller coaster. After a few seconds, Sam looked around herself and noticed she was…moving.
Freddie noticed it too. "Why're we moving?"
Sam shrugged, looking around again, and spotted a little girl at the place where you start the roller coaster.
"No!" Sam yelled, but the little girl pressed the green button anyways.
The two buckled themselves into the cart and prepared for what was next.
They entered the dark cavern and Sam finally spoke. "Maybe this won't be so—"
Before she could finish her sentence, the cart dropped a good 45 feet and started accelerating at speeds they didn't think they could handle.
Sam frowned as she felt a hand move around her waist. She looked over to see Freddie screaming.
"It's not that—"
Another drop took place, this time, going much more faster.
"It has got to stop doing that." Sam yelled in between her and Freddie's screams.
…
"Funnel cakes, getcha funnel cakes, right here for only five dollars!" Gibby shouted at the people walking past him and Carly.
Carly laughed and twisted a piece of her hair around her finger.
"What's up with you?" He asked, looking at Carly.
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"You've been acting weird…every time I say something, you laugh." Gibby noticed. "And just a few minutes ago, I said 'okay' to something you told me and then you started to laugh."
"I…" She started.
"When you do that little twisty thing with your hair, that means you see someone you like," Gibby said. "Remember all that advice you gave Sam that night at the lock in about five years ago? Use it."
Carly pursed her lips, obviously deep in thought.
"So, tell me who it is." Gibby said, waving his funnel cake around. "Is it that guy over there with the blue hair? I think he's dating that girl with the pink hair because they're holding hands and—"
Carly gulped and walked over to Gibby, laying her hands on his shoulders, and moved in, pressing her lips to his. "It's you, Gib. It's you that I like."
…
Sam and Freddie laughed as they came out of the bathroom stalls, cleaning supplies in both of their hands. "—and remember that time we got captured in that psycho, Nora's house, for the second time?"
"Yeah!" Freddie laughed with her. "And we had to use the shock pen to set off the chip that was surgically put into my head?"
Sam smiled. "Yeah, who would have thought your mom's craziness would come in handy?"
"I sure didn't," Freddie said, and they smiled at each other.
"I miss those times." He told her. "Of just being a kid and being surrounded by people that care about me more than I would have ever thought."
She nodded, quietly agreeing with him. "I do too." She looked to the ground. "This has been fun, Benson."
"I know. I thought today you were gonna kill me or something."
She chuckled and Freddie couldn't help but stare at her.
"Let's get outta these gloves and stuff," Freddie suggested. "I feel very dirty."
