"Oh my god!"
"What! Sam what's going on!" Carly called. Sam picked up a small furry object. She cuddled it close to her chest before stepping very carefully out of the bush again. The tiny animal was whimpering in shock, discomfort and fright.

"Aww!" Carly walked America over to it and Freddie just stared at it in shock. What was the little thing doing out here all alone and cold! The thing in Sam's hand turned over and its huge brown eyes stared at the three teens. Sam smiled. It was a puppy!

Chapter 7 – Finding Freedom.

"He's so adorable!" Sam smiled tickling the puppy nose as the little black and white fluff ball snaked its tiny pink tongue between her fingers. 'It's the same thing Honey does!' Sam thought.

"What's he doing out he, all alone though?" Freddie asked the blonde who merely shrugged.

"Not sure,"
"Maybe he's wild?" Carly put in walking over with America. Sam raised her eyebrow.

"Does he look wild to you?" She laughed as the obviously teething puppy began chewing slightly in the tip of Sam's finger. Freddie chuckled deeply to himself watching the sight. Both she and the pup looked adorable.

"So? What are we going to do with him?" Carly asked questioning

"I'm not sure, I don't think Aunt Amanda would want another dog,"
"Well, we'll have to hide him then." Freddie smiled.

"But where?" Carly asked.

"I've got the perfect place, Carls can I borrow your jacket?" Carly nodded before dropping her reins and Freddie held America still. Carly slipped her cream and black zip up jacket off her shoulders and threw it to Sam. Sam lifted the tiny pup up and slid the jacket material underneath him. Sam wrapped him up, so no cold could get in and then she tied the arms together in like a sling. IT would be easier for her to carry him this way.

"How are you gunna' carry him and ride Angel at the same time?" Carly looked at Freddie who had a confused look on his face. He was clearly the one who had asked the question. Sam smirked.

"I'm a girl Freddie, watch." Sam pulled the two tied arms over her head and the puppy dangled lightly in a sling way. She smiled then grabbed Angel's reins from Freddie who was still baffled. She hugged the puppy tightly against her chest, mounting up with one hand.

"Careful,"

"Please Frederlina, I'm fine!" Sam smirked.

"Nice! New nickname" He smirked back which caused Sam to look funny at him.

"Let's go," Sam gave Angel a small kick and she began walking, Freddie and Carly right beside her. Sam looked at her best friends and smiled. She truly had the best friends in the world.

"Fancy a canter back?" Carly asked but Sam just raised her eyebrow pointing down at the now sleeping puppy bundled up into Sam's chest. Carly smiled and began too smile.

"Isn't he just the sweetest little thing!" Sam looked up and nodded.

"Yo! Girls? We were riding here," Freddie said snapping the two girls out of there trance on the puppy.

"Oh right sorry Freddie." Carly smiled at her brunette friend.

"Besides," Freddie continued as the girls caught up with him. He had a smug grin on his face." There's something far cuter here," That set Sam off laughing.

"Yeah right Freddlington, like I'd rather see your face instead of the gorgeous puppies," Sam snorted in laughter. Of corse, she was lying. Sam had the ultimate crush on Freddie; she was just too stubborn to admit it. Freddie rolled his eyes at Sam's comment and kept riding. Sam right beside him. After trotting for about fifteen minutes, Sam, Freddie and Carly finally reached the borders of her Sam's aunt's land.
"So where are we gunna' hide him," Carly asked dismounting as Sam and Freddie did the same.

"Don't worry Carls, I have the perfect place." Sam smiled thinking about when she spent her childhood here. "Follow me,"
The two teens followed Sam through the yard noticing no car. Her aunt wasn't home yet. Freddie and Carly were looking confused as they followed Sam through a small arch near the back of the farm.
"Guy's we'll have to tie the horses here, they can't fit through." Freddie nodded and tied Minstrel next to America as Sam was busy tying Angel up, just ahead. Once she was happy all three horses were secure, Sam nodded them to follow. "Single file people," Freddie walked behind the two girls, Sam in front and Carly just behind her. Sam suddenly ducked down, still having the puppy held firmly in a sling. She was crawling on all fours which Freddie and Carly gave her a funny look.

"Sam? Why are you crawling?" Freddie asked her.

"Well, unless you want to be knocked out, the only way you can get to this place is crawl, get down!" Freddie obeyed and Carly did too.

"Come on, keep up!" Sam shouted from in front. Suddenly the light got brighter and the two teens behind the blonde demon had a chance to stand up. The place was beautiful. It was a tiny cottage type thing built for one.

"Wow! Sam, what's this?" Carly asked.

"I made it when I was ten; it was my home away from home." Sam smiled. "And now it's-"Sam suddenly stopped thinking of something. "Hey, this little fella doesn't have a name." The puppy had now awoke and was looking at Sam with a pair of large brown eyes. They looked so sweet.

"Oh yeah! What should we call him?" Freddie responded.

"I'm not sure? We found him running free, what do you call a wild dog?" Carly said. Freddie rolled his eyes at Carly but Sam was stills seriously deep in thought.

"He's not wild Carls," Freddie deadpanned.
"Yeah well-"Carly didn't get to finish because Sam interrupted. She had a huge smile on her face.

"That's it! I've got it! We'll call him Freedom." Sam was proud of herself as the puppy barked.

"Yeah Sam," Carly smiled.

"Freedom it is then!" Freddie grinned wide looking at Sam holding the pup, cradling him in her arms.

"Welcome to your new home Freedom." He heard her murmur. Who knew Sam Puckett could be so caring. Sam giggled as Freedom licked her nose continuously. The sight immediately set Carly and Freddie laughing and Sam placed one hand on her hip, still holding Freedom in her other.

"I suppose you think that's funny?" Sam said in fake-crossness. Freddie smirked at her.

"Actually, yeah I do," Sam laughed at him.

Carly's POV.

Sam and Freddie seemed to be getting on really well lately. They'd make such a cute couple. Shame Freddie and Sam don't realize it though.

Normal POV.

Carly smirked to herself thinking of the future. If it was one things the Shay's were famous for was getting their own way, and Carly was about to do just that. Sam Puckett and Freddie Benson would be together before the end of this vacation – if it was the last thing she did!
