So much for knowing exactly how the story is going, right? I know this is long overdue, but I finally got myself to finishing this and I was pretty excited. It's basically a filler, but it helps set up the story, which is the point. Enjoy!

Chapter 3
Eleven o' clock saturday morning, Freddie was on his way over to Carly's. They had agreed to get together so they could get the next iCarly show segments picked. Originally, Sam disagreed, trying to get out of it because she doesn't wake up until two on the weekends. Somehow, Carly had persuaded her otherwise. Most likely with some type of food.
Freddie threw his red hoodie on over his head as he walked over. He strolled inside the opposing apartment and towards the counter where the two girls lounged, sharing food. He identified pretzels, popcorn, sandwiches, and of course, ham. Sam would most likely finish any food left uneaten.
Freddie reached the two and popped some popcorn in his mouth as Carly went to the fridge to grab drinks for the three of them.
"So Puckett, are we still on for tonight?" Knowing Sam, he had to confirm to remind her to show. He and Sam were so accustomed to calling each other names, they barely called each other by their first names now. He called her Sam more often than not, though.
Without looking up, she replied, "Wouldn't miss it, Benson."
"I was thinking we meet at Groovy Smoothie around six-thirty, then we can go from there." Sam gave him a curt nod as he finished.
"Sounds good." She glanced at him before deciding to play on the computer.
They were silent for all of two seconds when Carly set down three peppy-colas on the counter.
Freddie took a step back from the counter. "Oh, I can't stay." Both Carly and Sam gave him looks of disbelief. "I have to get home and finish homework."
Sam gasped. "Whatt? Freddison didn't finish his homework yet? What are the Ivy Leaguers going to think?"
Freddie gave her a playful sneer while grabbing one last handful of snacks. He gave a seconds worth of thought before pushing it from his mind. He waved it off with the flick of his hand. "I'll see you later." He told her. With that, he was on his way to finish his homework.
Six and a half hours later, Freddie found himself sitting at the Groovy Smoothie, with an order of fries while he sat next to the window. He decided it would be the best place to sit to be able to see when Sam came.
He stared longingly out onto the streets as the minutes ticked by.
"Come on, Sam." He muttered to himself. "Where are you?"
He shifted in his seat, peering as far out the window as he could, then observing the entire cafe without locating the blonde.
He picked at the fries he ordered half an hour ago. He checked the time on his pearphone impatiently, noting he only had five minutes before the fight started. He knew Sam wasn't a stickler for being on time, but he had been waiting nearly an hour for her.
She said she would show up, and so he would wait for her.
Freddie ended up waiting another thirty minutes without Sam showing up or any contact. When he knew for sure that she was a no-show, he gathered his belongings, paid for his food and hung his head as he shuffled his way home.
The morning after the next, he woke up with an unplaceable feeling that he couldn't seem to identify. Disappointment? Was that it? Sure, he was disappointed she didn't show up. And on top of that, he missed the fight. He gave a deep sigh and rolled out of his bed and onto his feet.
Freddie ran his fingers through his bed head, giving him a messy, unruly look, before going through his morning routine.
After he showered, dressed, ate breakfast and brushed his teeth, he grabbed his belongings while calling a goodbye to his mom on his way to Carly's apartment. He knocked on her door and Carly had it opened in five seconds, readjusting her bag on her shoulder. "Ready?" She asked. He nodded and the two of them were off.
The walk to school was a quiet one as neither had much to say. Freddie had no idea why Carly wasn't coming up with a conversation like usual, but nonetheless they walked in a comfortable silence, their shows softly scuffling along the sidewalk. Perhaps Sam was sick? He thought to himself. Doubt it.
Carly and him parted ways once the first bell rang. He didn't have class with Sam until third block.
He sat through Algebra II, bored because he already read the material the week before. He flipped along the pages of his book mindlessly, without absorbing any new information.
As he glanced out the door's window, he saw a flash of blonde hair run by. He knew Sam well enough that she had woken up late and had only now gotten to school.
The bell signaling the end of first period rang and he sprang to his feet, ready for the day to be over.
With his bag and books in tow, he started his walk over to the girls' lockers, knowing they would already be there talking about their weekends. He rounded the corner and saw Carly and Sam in a heated discussion. "Hey amigas." He greeted the two. Carly gave him a smile while Sam gave him a 'Hey, Freddork.'
The two girls started a completely different topic, as if not wanting Freddie to hear what their last conversation was about. He shrugged it off as nothing, not really caring. Maybe Sam just forgot. It happens.
He turned just in time to see the auburn red hair belonging to Wendy. "Hey guys!" She chirped. "Sam, that fight over the weekend was awesome! Definitely weren't expecting that outcome, right?" She heard someone else call her name in the distance and she smiled and waved as she bounded off to greet someone else in a second.
Then, Freddie fully processed what she had said. "Wait... you went to the fight?" The earth stood still as the trio fell into a deathly silence.
Gah! I know, it felt a little rushed and is several months late! I'm sorry! However, this time I'm not going to lie and say I have all of it ready and typed out. But I am going to say that I will not take three months to update again. I intend to update more often. I'll try to update as soon as possible, without it colliding with school, but that shouldn't be too much of a problem.
