After the school day is over, Carly heads towards the room detention is in. She hopes to talk to Sam, if the teacher leaves the room, that is. And since Mrs. Briggs is the monitor for this day's detention, that seems very unlikely.
Freddie waits by the door. He sees Carly coming towards the room and picks up his backpack, placing it on his right shoulder. "Hey, have fun in detention."
"With Mrs. Briggs, that isn't going to happen." Freddie starts to walk away. "Hey, aren't you going to wait for me to get out?"
"No can do, my mom wants to get home before 4:00. She says that's the time the ticks wake up. I'll tell Spencer to come and get you, okay?" He opens the door to outside, his mom's frantic honking can be heard.
"Alright then, bye!"
"See ya." He heads outside and to his mom's car, stopping the annoying honking.
Carly enters the detention room. It's seats practically filled. She looks for Sam, who doesn't appear to be there. Unusual for Sam not to be in detention. Carly takes a seat. "Oh...where is she?"
Briggs walks in with her usual frown on her face. "Students!" She slams her books on the desk and everyone sits up in their seats immediately. She glares at them. "Because all you horrible children refuse to follow the rules of the school, you will sit here in detention and think about what you've done."
Carly raises her hand. "Mrs. Briggs?"
"No talking!" She snaps back quickly.
"But I have a question," Carly places her hand back on the desk and asks "where's Sam?"
"Miss Puckett did not get detention today, surprised?" She chuckles, then returns to the frown. "Me too. Now, no talking!" Briggs walks to her chair and sits down. She watches over them like a hawk, making sure no one makes a sound.
"Awww..." Carly sadly puts her head down on her desk.
"And no 'awww'ing!" Briggs shouts.
"Awww..." Carly says in her head instead. "The one day Sam doesn't get detention!"
About thirty minutes later, back at the apartment, Spencer talks to the fangirls who have gathered around him on the couch.
"...And that's how I got my hand out of the bee hive. The lesson here? Always buy honey at the store. Because going to the hive will get you stingers in your hand." He gets up and goes to the door. "Now," Spencer opens the door and gestures them to get out. "I have stuff to do."
As the girls leave, one turns and asks. "What kind of stuff?"
Spencer can't think what he wants to say. "Stuff-y...stuff." Spencer shuts the door on them and sighs in relief.
He turns and almost jumps out of his skin when he sees Mandy behind him. "Hiiiii." She says in a creepy fashion.
"I thought I told you to leave."
"No, you told them to leave!" She starts coming towards him, holding her arms out for a hug. "I'm here to stay."
"No, you're here to leave." Spencer opens the door.
"Silly Spence, you know you want me here!" She hugs him once again.
"Not really, no." He pulls her off of him and opens the door.
"What are you saying?"
"Please. Leave." Spencer tries to push her out, but she quickly moves, causing Spencer to fall to the ground.
Mandy runs to Spencer's room and looks around.
Spencer sighs and starts to get up. "Maybe I was too vague." Freddie, home from school, walks to the doors of his apartment. "Hey, Freddo!" Spencer waves in a goofy manner.
Freddie opens the door and turns around. "You okay there Spencer?"
"Oh, yeah, I just kinda fell...hard." Spencer gets up and looks down the hall for his sister. "Where's Carly?"
"She's in detention. Don't worry, not her fault."
"Oh, good." Spencer and Freddie stand there, silent for a few seconds before Spencer realizes that Carly has no way home. "Oh, I should go get her!"
Freddie nods slowly. "Yeah. See you later."
"See ya, Freddo!" Spencer shouts as Freddie closes the door to his apartment. He runs into his apartment, grabs his keys to his motorcycle and heads out to go get Carly.
When he does arrive at the school, Carly is out in the parking lot, waiting. She sees Spencer approach and waves to him.
Spencer rides up to her and tosses her a helmet. "I'm here!"
"I see you!" Carly responds as she places the helmet on her head.
"Sorry I'm a little late, me and Lewbert got in a fight when I got to the lobby."
Carly hops on the back of the motorcycle. "What for?"
"Does Lewbert ever need a reason to pick a fight?" Spencer starts to drive out of the parking lot.
"Good point." Carly fastens the helmet. "Thanks for the ride."
"No prob, lil sis!" They exit the parking lot and go down the street. "So, did you get Sam back on the show?"
"No, no luck. Maybe you can talk to her!"
Spencer shakes his head. "Tried that, no good. Hey!"
"Hey what?"
"Maybe Freddie can convince her."
"Yeah, maybe...but they'd probably end up fighting if he tried. Those two don't exactly like each other."
"It's worth a shot, though! You've got nothing to lose."
"You're right, thanks."
"No--" A bug flies in his mouth before he could say 'problem'. Spencer coughs a few times.
Carly laughs a bit, but then is a little concerned. "Another bug?"
"Uh-huh!" Spencer spits. "This is why we shouldn't talk on the motorcycle!" He wipes his mouth rapidly.
When the two get back to their apartment, the lights are dimmed and there is a dinner on the table. "Wow, look at that." Carly shuts the door and starts to walk to the dinner table. "Did you do this, Spencer?"
Spencer throws his keys on the counter and sits on a stool. "No, I don't know who--"
Mandy pops up from behind the counter, scaring Spencer and causing him to fall of the stool. "I made it!"
"Of course you did." Spencer says from the ground.
"You?!" Carly is in shock at the fact Mandy is back. She though she was rid of Mandy forever. "Why are you here?"
"For Spencer." Mandy runs and helps him up. "I'd do anything for him."
"So you made us food?" Carly starts to take a seat, but is stopped by Mandy.
"No, I made him food. That other plate is mine. You can make your own food." Mandy leads Spencer to the table and seats him.
"Well!" Carly goes to the fridge and looks for food.
Spencer starts to eat, but stops as he sees Mandy practically drooling over him. "I feel uncomfortable with this." He sets his fork down and scoots his chair out.
Mandy jumps up. "Food giving you gas? I have something for that!"
"Lovely." Carly comments as she pulls out a watermelon from the fridge.
"No...no. I'm uncomfortable with you watching me." He takes his plate and heads to his room. "I'm going to eat in my room."
Mandy follows him. "I'll join you!"
"No!" Spencer shouts and runs in his room. He slams the door. A few seconds later he opens the door and walks out, carrying Mandy. He sets her down outside his room. He runs back and slams the door on her and locks it.
Carly picks at the watermelon and laughs a little at this.
Mandy runs over and spouts out, "Is your brother single?"
The watermelon that Carly had in her mouth is immediately spit out in shock. "What?!"
"I'll take that as a yes!" Mandy backs up a bit. "Uh-oh, I feel a quack or two coming on! Quack, quack, quack!" She waddles around the room quacking. Carly looks down and eats her watermelon, trying to ignore her quacking.
Freddie walks in to talk to Carly. He sees Mandy waddling and quacking. He backs out of the room slowy, shutting the door as he does.
