Discalimer: don't own iCarly

Fake Friends: Bail you out of jail and tell you what you did was wrong.

Real Friends: Will sit next to you in the cell and say, "Damn... let's do that again!"

Needless to say that the party had gotten out of hand. Someone had called the cops because the music was past the noise limit. When the cops got there, they had found some under aged drinkers and began to make some arrests. Sam tried to sneak Carly away from the cops and almost succeeded, but someone was pushed across the table that they were hiding under. The table fell on its side, revealing a drunken Carly and an alcohol smelling Sam to the police. They arrested Carly without any problems but had much trouble arresting Sam. Now Carly and Sam were sitting in jail, Carly for under aged drinking and Sam for not only under aged drinking but resisting arrest. At least they were put in the same cell.

Each was given one phone call, Carly was allowed to go home if a parent or legal guardian bailed her out of jail. She called Spencer and told him of her current situation. A much as Spencer was easygoing with her, Carly dreaded calling Spencer and knew that she was grounded for a month. Sam, on the other hand, had resisting arrest on her charges. She couldn't go home, but she was allowed a phone call home. She called her mom and told her what happened at the party and how she got arrested which ended up in a fight over the phone. Sam ended the phone call abruptly and flopped down on the bed. Carly was sobered up and sitting on a chair with a massive headache. She occasionally groaned in pain. Her headache was only made worse as she kept thinking about what will happen after this. Will she get suspended from school for under aged drinking? Will iCarly fans find out and stop watching iCarly? Will her reputation be ruined? Will she have a felony forever written down on her spotless record? How will her dad react? Or how will Granddad? Will she go to juvie? What-ifs swarmed her head and now Carly swore everything around her was spinning. She just wanted the pain to stop and take a few aspirins and sleep for a week.

Sam on the other hand, was remembering about the party and was laughing at the memories. "Damn," she happily said, "we screwed up. Let's do that again!"

Carly was dumbfounded and shouted, "How can you say that, Sam? We're in jail because we drank before we were suppose to and now we're facing legal charges, and you want to do that again?" Her shouting caused a pounding in her head. Carly quickly put a hand on her forehead, and softly whimpered, "Ouch."

"Oh, come on, Carly," Sam said, "For once you got to chill out instead of worrying about everything. And you're not dead! That party was fun. You need to just chill out. Besides, I've been in jail before. It's not that bad. You make a lot of friends, too. Hey, we should do an iCarly episode in jail…"

"You don't get it," Carly interrupted but wisely didn't yell, "Drinking can get you in serious trouble, and I can't afford to go to jail and have a felony on my record. Colleges and employers look at that, you know? If they see that I have been charged with under aged drinking, my chances of getting accepted into college or getting the career of my dreams will be greatly decreased. I might as well plan to be a hobo for my future." Carly leaned back into her chair. "Ugh! I should have never let you talked me into going to that party. I should have never tried beer."

A police officer nearby, who had been listening to their conversation and was very familiar with the infamous Sam Puckett, said to Carly, "You seem like a smart girl, Miss Shay. Perhaps you should stop hanging out with Miss Puckett over here." The officer gave Sam a dirty look, and Sam responded with her middle finger. "She will only drag you down."

Carly smiled for the police officer's sake. She knew that was not true. Even though Sam was a juvenile delinquent and sometimes encouraged her (and even dragged her) to do bad things, Carly knew Sam could never drag her down. How many times has Sam come to Carly's defense to punch a girl gossiping about Carly or a boy trying to make an unwanted move on Carly? How many times has Sam made Carly laugh? How many times have they bonded over iCarly? How many times have they laughed at the good times and at senseless nonsense? How many times have they comforted each other when Sam had an argument with her mom or Carly needed a shoulder to cry on over the loss of a mother she could not remember? How many times were they there for each other? No, Sam couldn't drag Carly down. In fact, Carly could drag Sam up. If it weren't for her, Sam wouldn't have a real sense of family and would probably be in trouble with the law more often than Sam usually is. Carly was probably more of a sister to Sam than Melanie was, and even Sam considered that fact to be true. Even if Sam's idea of going to a wild party screwed up Carly's chances of going to college or getting her dream job (whatever it is), Carly would never abandon Sam.

This just proves that Carly is a real friend to Sam

Okay. No humor, but this was to show the depth of their friendship in Carly's point of view.
