"And we're clear. Great show guys, really good." I placed my camera down and snuck a glance at Sam, giving her a smile to which she responded with a glare.

"Thanks." Carly said sweetly, as she always does. This time though, she wasn't looking at me when she said it. This time she was looking at Gibby, biting her bottom lip and sticking out her chest, as best she could. This wasn't just flirting though, it's much more than that.

I put one hand in my pocket and used to other to motion between the two. "What's going on here?" I've barely talked to the both of them since my conversation with Gibby at the Groovie Smoothie, I've obviously missed something.

Carly straightened up and tore her gaze off of him and turned to look at me. "I don't know what you're talking about. Who wants lemonade?" That was her go-to question when she wanted to avoid talking about something.

I was quickly joined by Sam at my side. She put one hand on her hip and let the other drop, very close to mine. I was tempted to just reach out and grab it, it's barely an inch away. I looked at her face and watched as her gaze moved from Carly to Gibby back to Carly. "You guys did it!" She screamed, pulling on my arm to bring me back with her, as far away from the new couple as possible. We stopped moving, but she let her hand stay on my arm. I smiled, but didn't let her know that I knew she was still holding on, she probably didn't even realize what she was doing.

"Sam!" Carly screamed, now grabbing onto Gibby and pulling him towards us. Sam responded by pulling me back again, until we were pushed against the wall. "We're not gonna bite, guys! You don't need to run away from us!" She kept screaming at us until she was so close to Sam that she couldn't walk any farther.

"Ugh stop breathing on me, you're getting mermaid germs on me! Wait-" I looked over at her and saw her eyes widen and for a moment I got scared of what she was going to say. "If you kiss a mermaid you turn into a mermaid! Carly, you're a freaking mermaid!"

I couldn't help but laugh. From the look on Sam's face, she was totally serious about this. She gaze turned from the new 'mermaid' to me. My laughing suddenly stopped, if looks could kill...I'd be dead.

"Sam, I'm not a-" Gibby started, but the death glare adverted from me to him and he instantly stopped talking.

"Gib, just let Sam and Carly talk. If I were you, I would not speak at all." He nodded his head and looked as if he were about to pass out, but he couldn't run away because Carly's hand was still gripped onto his.

I thought Sam was going to freak out of me for speaking, but instead she nodded and said "Sometimes the nerd knows what he's saying." I didn't respond to her, I knew better. But I did smile, it was nice when she said something good about me, even if it was attached to an insult.

"Okay Sam, just listen. First of all, we've gone over this: Gibby is not a mermaid. Mermaids do not exist."

Sam put her finger up to stop her. "You have no proof of that!"

Carly stayed calm, she knew better. "Are you going to let me finish speaking?"

She shrugged her shoulders. "Fine, but we're discussing the theory of mermaids later." She pulled her hand off of my arm and crossed hers. I instantly missed the feel of her hand on mine.

Carly didn't respond to that, she just rolled her eyes and put her hands in her pockets, walking away like she always does when she's trying to tell us something. "Anyway, like I was saying, me and Gibby did not do it."

Sam put her hand on her forehead dramatically and let out a sigh of relief. "Oh thank god." She muttered and I chuckled a little more.

"But..." Carly started, and Sam stared at her, all relief gone. "I would appreciate it if you would stay somewhere else tonight because he is staying over." Sam covered her ears after the words 'stay somewhere else' obviously knowing where the conversation was going.

"Blech spare me the details please!" She screamed and Carly smiled, rolling her eyes. I knew that the argument was over now and I gave a sigh of relief. "Yo Nub I'm staying over tonight, and guess who's sleeping on the couch." She smirked evilly at me and I put my hand on her shoulder.

I took a step closer to her and whispered in her ear, "I don't think either of us are going to be sleeping tonight." And she giggled again. I love that sound, I really do. It's like music to my ears. Pure beauty, just like everything else she does.

"Alright you guys are not doing it in here again, so just start your sleepover early and go across the hall." Carly said with a disgusted look on her face.

"Nope not yet." Sam stated, glancing over at Gibby. The fear returned to his face. "I wanna have a chat with him."

I laughed, poor Gibby. She's going to do the usual 'hurt her and you're dead' speech on him. Except I imagine it'll be a little more vicious. "Yeah and my mom's home for another 2 hours. Can you picture what she'd do if I walked in with Sam?"

There was a silence in the room until we all started laughing. "She would freak!" Carly shouted in between laughs.

When it died down Sam pulled on Gibby's arm. "We're gonna go to the Groovie Smoothie. If we're not back in an hour, come looking for us, because I most likely killed him." Gibby tried grabbing at the walls screaming "Help me, please don't let her take me!" But me and Carly chuckled and just let them go.

When the door slammed, Carly looked at me with a straight face and said "So how long have you been in love with Sam?"

Next chapter will be their conversations. Enjoy and review!
