They walked to baggage claim, sore and tired. Finding they're suit cases, they headed outside to hail a taxi. The sun with still out but almost gone and people were walking around in swim suits, sunglasses, and flip flops.

"I don't think our bags will all fit in one cab, we'll have to take two." Carly said to Spencer.

"You're right, Carls. How about you and Sam can go in one and-" Spencer got cut off.

"No, I wanted to ride with you. And then Sam and Freddie can go in the other one." Carly smiled devilishly.

"No, no, no. I'd much rather go with you, Carly." Freddie said, nothing against Sam, but after that dream he had…

"Well, what's wrong with me?" Sam asked her forehead creased.

"N-No-Nothing, I just wanted to ride with Carly-"

"Because you love her. You'll always love Carly, but guess what? Carly will never love you back." Sam sneered.

"Sam…" Carly whispered.

"What, Carly?" Sam almost yelled.

"Get in the cab with me."

"Fine." Sam said, clearly mad at Freddie.

Carly and Sam got in the cab and rolled down the windows. Sam stuck her iPod ear phones in her ears and turned the volume up, listening to "Not Good Enough for Truth in Cliché" by Escape the Fate. Half way through the song she felt a tap on her shoulder. She turned and turned off her music.

"What." She said icily.

"Why did you freak out when Freddie said he wanted to ride with me?" Carly already knew but she needed to hear if from Sam, herself.

"Well, because Freddie needs to learn that you'll never love him the way that he loves you. I don't want to see him hurt." Sam was looking through the window when she answered forgetting who she was with and not censoring what she was saying.

"So, are you saying that you care about him?" Carly asked with a raised eyebrow.

"I never said that. I never said that I cared." Sam was at a loss of words and excuses.

"But you said you didn't want him hurt."

"By you, not by me, I'll hurt him all I want." Sam smiled, she found an excuse.

"Oh." Carly smiled, "This summer, Sam, I'm going to get you to tell me how you really feel about Freddie." Sam got a worried look but then her face relaxed and she put her hands behind her head,

"Have fun trying."

Carly and Sam's cab pulled up to the hotel that they were staying at. The girls got out and grabbed their bags out of the trunk and waved good-bye to the cab driver. They waited outside the door admiring the hotel until Freddie and Spencer's cab pulled up.

"Slow pokes." Sam said glaring. Freddie shrugged.

"Soooo, are we going to go in? Or are we going to stand out here all summer?" Spencer asked rocking on his heels. The teens laughed and walked inside. The lights in the hotel made the entire thing look cream colored. It was a very sparkly hotel lobby.

"Can I help you?" The hotel receptionist asked. She could've been Lewburt's twin sister. Giant mole and everything. She had a very greasy and disgusting looking burger on the desk next to her. Spencer couldn't speak because he was scared she would be like him.

"Uh…uuuuhhhh…room, 438 and 439, uh, please." Spencer couldn't even look at her.

"Here you go, and you kids better not run in the lobby, or there will be pain." Lewburt's twin took a bite of her burger before she said this. Greasy cheese and meat flew at them and caked them in grossness. They walked away totally ready to hurl.

Carly and Sam's room had a beautiful view of the ocean. Freddie and Spencer's room, across the hall from the girls, had a view of the pool.

"Our room is better, ha ha ha ha ha ha." Sam sang at Freddie and Spencer.

"Shut up, Sam." Freddie said disappearing into the guy's bathroom to clean his face.

"Make me." Sam said smiling, waiting for Carly to get out of the bathroom so she could wash her face.

"That's real classic, Sam." Freddie said switching places with Spencer. Carly stepped out of the bathroom.

"Hey guys, lets go to the pool. It's not even dark out yet." Carly said digging through her suit case for her swim suit.

"Yeah, totally! Toss me my suit so I can change now, please, Carly dear." Sam said sticking her head out the door of the bathroom. Carly tossed Sam she swim suit. Sam changed first then Carly. Sam had a two piece black suit with white and bright pink skulls, a blue and pink anchor sat on the left cup. Carly also wore a two piece. Hers was green with IM smiley faces everywhere. Both were halters. Carly grabbed her sunglasses and towel, slipped on her flip flops and stood by the door. Sam did as her friend and followed her out the door.

Freddie was out in the hall sitting down. When Carly walked out his eyes grew big and his jaw dropped. Of course, Sam thought, always Carly. Carly looked a little uneasy with Freddie's eyes on her. But she smiled and stood by the door. Sam stepped out of the room. She turned to close the door and in that instant, Freddie's eyes flew to Sam. Carly smiled to big that long matter how she tried, she couldn't hide it. Freddie's jaw was still agape when Sam turned around again. She saw Freddie's face and froze. What is he doing? Gaping at me? Why? Freddie quickly looked away.

"So, let's go! We don't have much time." Carly said smiling still.

Sam, Carly, and Freddie walked almost silently to the pool area. The sun was shining but it was getting close to the horizon. Sam threw her towel on a chair and cannon balled into the pool. Freddie jumped in after her and Carly after him. They swam and talked for about twenty minutes.

"Let's play 'Marco Polo'." Freddie suggested.

"Ok, you're it." Sam smiled, treading water.

"Ok, one…two…three," Freddie shut his eyes, "Marco?" Carly and Sam had got out of the pool and walked into the hotel, "Marco? Marco? MARCO!"

"POLO." Sam yelled from Spencer and Freddie's window. Freddie opened his eyes and looked up to see Sam smirking at him.

"I'm going to get you!" Freddie pulled himself out of the pool and ran to his room. When he got to the room Sam wasn't in there. She was giggling behind her door.

"You'll get it, mark my words." Freddie said smiling.

"I'd like to she you try." Sam taunted opening her door a crack to see him. Freddie lounged at the door, she closed it real fast, laughing.

This is my longest chapter yet. 1,183 words! A little anger on Sam's side and some flirting between Sam and Freddie. Carly gots her plan for the summer and she'll do all it takes. Oh yeah. :). As you can read, I do have Freddie like Carly. It's to make things more difficult for Carly and for the story. I don't know why I want things more difficult for me... Oh, well.

My song choices for Sam are pretty much the song I'm listening to that day. I love the randomness of it. :).
