Day 27- Morning


Sam's Journal

Should I tell him?! I want to, but I don't want to humiliate myself. Yet, he could actually like me! I don't want to be like Freddie when he loved Carly!

But I'm Sam Puckett… I'm not afraid of anything! I'm going to tell him. And… if he doesn't feel the same way, I'll be strong. At least he'll know the truth. But if he does feel the same way…


In the girl's shelter…

Sam grinned and looked down at her journal entry. She wanted to tell him, but how? Freddie was on the other side of the shelter, writing in his journal. Sam just looked at him and thought about how cute he looked. After a few seconds, she realized what she was doing and wrote once more in her journal.


Sam's Journal

I need a dork to pick on… soon! If we get rescued soon, I could go home without my wedgie-giving, 'beat the snot out of you' touch that I mostly used on Freddie! I need a dork, a super-dork. If only Gibby was here…


Freddie's Journal

If I'm going to tell Sam how I feel, how should I do it? Should I just go right ahead and say it? Or what about just give her some sort of explanation of how I feel? I really don't want to make a complete fool of myself!

Its so hard for me to think. Sam has been the only thing on my mind. Even being stranded on an island isn't distracting me! I have to tell her today. I must get this over with… and hope that she won't laugh.


Freddie sighed and closed his journal. He looked over at Sam and her golden, wavy hair drape over her shoulders, and her bright, blue eyes look down at her journal. Like Sam, all he was doing was staring at her. Then Sam looked up and immediately looked down when she saw Freddie looking at her.

"Um," Freddie said nervously, "You're done?" He pointed at Sam's journal.

"Yeah, let's go look for Carly! We could hang out or something," Sam suggested. It was one of those days where they didn't have to do any chores. Freddie nodded and they both got up and walked towards the door. When they got close, their shoulders barely touched each other and they both felt their bodies shiver. It was like lightning was entering their bodies. Sam and Freddie looked at each other.

"Sorry," Freddie gulped.

"That's okay," Sam muttered. "We should… go."

"Yeah," Freddie looked over to the door beside him, "You first," he smiled at her.

"Thanks," Sam said as she walked out the door. With her back facing Freddie he didn't see Sam blush like crazy. Freddie followed her and looked for their friend.

Soon, Freddie and Sam were walking in the part of the jungle that was closest to the beach looking for Carly.

"Maybe she's hanging out with Lex… again," Freddie laughed.

"You would we so jealous if you still loved her," Sam giggled. Freddie blushed a little.

"Well, I don't any more," Freddie looked at her. "I like someone else," he said under his breath.

Sam's eyes shot up at him, "What was that?"

"N-nothing," Freddie said nervously. Why couldn't I just tell her! He thought.

I swear he said that he likes someone else. Sam thought hopefully.

Freddie looked ahead and saw two people hiding behind a bush. "Sam, hide!"

"What? Why?" Freddie nervously pushed her behind a tree. "Freddie!" Sam screamed angrily.

Freddie shushed her and pointed to the people behind the bush. "Look!"

Sam looked from behind the tree and saw Taylor and Eric looking towards the beach. Eric was holding Freddie's digital camera. "Hey, they took your camera!"

"What?" Freddie looked from behind the tree and saw Eric holding the camera. "Aw, come on!"

"What are they doing?" Sam asked.

"I don't know. Let's find out," Freddie snuck from tree to tree until he got close enough to hear Taylor and Eric. Next, he waved at Sam to do the same thing. She did exactly what Freddie did and met him at the tree that he was hiding at.

"How did you get those two alone?" Taylor asked Eric.

"Well, I kind of just ran after I got them alone," Eric chuckled. Taylor rolled her eyes and looked ahead.

"Come on Lex! Just tell her already!" Taylor whispered. Freddie and Sam looked at each other.


"Lex?" Sam whispered.

"And… Carly!" Freddie added.

"They're trying to get them together!" They whispered at the same time. Then they started to spy on Lex and Carly.


"What was up with Eric?" Carly laughed.

"I know, right? He just said that he needed to talk to us, then ran," Lex said confused. Then he gulped nervously.

"So what do you want to do?" Carly asked. "it's a 'no chore' day," Carly giggled.

"Uh, do you just want to talk?" Lex took a deep breath.

"Um, sure… I guess," They both sat down on the soft sand. "So, what do you want to talk about?"

"Well," Lex paused and took another deep breath, "there's something that I've wanted to tell you for a long time."

Carly smiled, "Okay, what is it?"

Lex gulped, "Carly, I was wondering… I just wanted to know…" Lex couldn't get it out.

"Yes, what is it?" Carly asked curiously.

"Willyoubemygirfriend!" Lex yelled nervously. "I mean its okay if you don't want you. Its just that I really like you a-" He was interrupted by Carly's lips touching his. Then she backed away after the short, soft kiss.

"Lex, of course I'll be your girlfriend!" Carly exclaimed then she held his hand. "The truth is that I've really liked you ever since we met," Lex grinned.

"Me too," He breathed out. "That was my first kiss, you know," Lex blushed. "Thanks for making it… special."

Carly smiled, "How about a second kiss… boyfriend?" Lex chuckled.

"I would like that," They both leaned in for another soft kiss.


"Aw!" Taylor squealed. "That was so cute!" she looked at Eric, "Did you get all that?"

"Yup!" He shut off the camera, "So, your whole plan did work!"

"Yeah, if it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have learned to be so sneaky," Taylor laughed.

"You learned from the best!" Eric chuckled. "We should get this back to camp before Freddie finds out," he said while holding up the camera.

"Your right. Let's go!" Then they sneaked off to camp without seeing Freddie and Sam.


"They've been planning to get them together all along!" Sam exclaimed after Taylor and Eric left.

"Yup, and its still working," Freddie muttered staring at Lex and Carly who were making out.

"Its sweet Freddie! At least they're together now," Sam looked over at the new couple, then a disgusted look appeared on her face. "Freddie?"

"I was thinking the same thing. Let's go!" They quickly got up and ran back to camp.


Noon, at the girl's shelter…

Carly's Journal

OMG! Lex is my boyfriend! Eric pretty much just left the two of us at the beach, and Lex told me that he liked me! And we kissed! It was AMAZING! I'm freaking out right now! AH! I can barely write!


Carly closed her journal and looked around to make sure that no one was looking. Then she screamed to the top of her lungs. Sam, who wasn't far from the shelter, ran inside.

"What's going on Carls!" Sam yelled. Carly stopped screaming and looked at her with a wide grin.

"Lex is my boyfriend!" Carly yelled. Then she went up to her and started jumping. "Jump with me!"

"Okay!" Sam laughed and started jumping. Freddie, who was near the shelter, came in, shrugged, and started jumping with the girls.

"Why are we jumping?" Freddie asked.

"Lex is my boyfriend!" Carly exclaimed.

"Should've seen that coming," Freddie muttered, then everyone stopped jumping.

"Well, I'm going to go to my new boyfriend!" Carly squealed as she ran out of the shelter to go to the beach.

"Carly's a little-" Freddie started.

"Crazy? Yeah, she is," Sam finished. They both laughed.

"She was crazier than the time that she went out with Jake," Freddie added.

"At least he's a friend," Sam paused. "I'm craving a mango."

"Okay," Freddie laughed. "Let's eat then! You go ahead, I need to do something first."

"Sure," Sam nodded and went to the fire pit. Freddie ran over to the boy's shelter and grabbed his journal.


Freddie's Journal

Carly's gone psycho because of Lex, who is now her boyfriend. I'm happy for her, but I hope she doesn't get too crazy. And now that has happened, the only single people left on this island is Sam and I. I could have told her earlier, but I chickened out. I just don't want to ruin anything between us.


Freddie sighed and went to have lunch.


Carly was at the beach looking for Lex, when she bumped into Taylor, Daley, and Melissa.

"Hey Carly!" Daley exclaimed. "Lex told me about you two. You really made him happy."

"Well, I do like him a lot," Carly blushed.

"I'm glad that you're his first girlfriend," Melissa smiled.

"Yeah, its lucky for him that you guys landed here," Taylor laughed.

"Yeah, lucky," Carly said sarcastically. "Hopefully, we can get off this island soon."

"Who knows? That raft that we sent out will get us home!" Daley said. "Oh, and there's a plan that's going on tonight?" She questioned.

"Yeah, planned by Taylor. The one and only!" Carly laughed.

"What is it then?" Melissa asked. They all huddled up and Taylor explained the plan.

"So, when is this going to happen?" Daley asked after Taylor's explanation.

"Sunset of course! it's the most romantic time of the day!" Taylor laughed, and all of the other girls nodded in agreement.

"Let's go tell Nathan and Jackson," Melissa said to Daley. Daley nodded and followed Melissa to go to them.

"So, are you ready for the last step of 'Operation: Seddie'?" Taylor asked.

"You know I am!" Carly and Taylor laughed.


Freddie's POV

I don't know if I can tell her...


Sam's POV

I don't know if I can tell him…


Almost sunset… (A/N: Are you excited?!)

Everyone was having dinner at the beach today, so they could all watch the sunset. (And also for other reasons) They were sitting on this order: Jackson, Melissa, Nathan, Daley, Eric, Taylor, Lex, Carly, Sam, and Freddie.

"So, why are we having dinner at the beach again?" Eric asked while chewing on some fish.

"Because!" Taylor exclaimed, "Sunsets are pretty!"

"Okay…" Eric replied, and he quickly finished his dinner as always. Surprisingly, everyone else except for Freddie and Sam did the same thing.

"What's the rush?" Freddie asked suspiciously.

"We're just hungry," Taylor explained with half of a banana in her mouth.

"Okay, but could you at least shut your mouth? Seeing all of that mashed-up food in your mouth is disgusting!" Sam exclaimed with her mouth full of food. Freddie chuckled.

"We're done!" Melissa and Jackson said. Then they got up and left.

"Us too!" Nathan and Daley followed the other two.

"Come on Eric!" Taylor got up and pulled Eric, who was really confused.

"See ya!" Lex and Carly quickly made their way to camp. Freddie and Sam were soon left on the beach, confused.

"What was THAT all about?" Sam questioned.

"I have no clue," Freddie replied while taking a bite of his dinner.

"So, its just the two of us?" Sam muttered.

"Right by this beautiful sunset?" Freddie gulped.

"I guess so," Sam replied.

"Yup," Freddie added. Neither were even half-way done with their food.


At camp…

Eric left to take a shower. Once he was out of sight, the plan started to take action.

"Lex? You got the camera?" Taylor asked. Lex held up Freddie's digital video camera.

"Check," Lex responded.

"Okay, so you and Carly are going to film them, okay?" Lex and Carly nodded.

"Oh, and I already connected the speakers," Lex added.

"Great!" Taylor grinned. Then she looked at everyone else. "Okay guys, while us three are working on the plan, you have to distract Eric."

"Got it," Melissa responded. Taylor nodded.

"Let's do this," She saluted and walked off. Carly and Lex followed her.

"Why did she salute?" Lex whispered.

"I don't know, it just goes with the mood I guess," Carly giggled.

"You have such a cute laugh," Carly smiled.

"You're so sweet Lex," Carly kissed Lex on the cheek.


At the beach…

There was an awkward silence between Sam and Freddie. Neither of them would get up, even though they finished their dinner.

Why can't I just tell him! I must do this! Sam thought.

I wish this wasn't so difficult! I mean, we're already alone! Freddie though.

"So," Freddie sighed, "nice… weather today." Smooth, Freddie. Real smooth.

"Yeah," Sam laughed nervously. Just say it!

Both of their hearts were racing a million miles an hour. And neither of them were making eye contact.

"Sam," Freddie took a deep breath, "I have something to tell you." Here is goes…

Sam's eyes darted up, "I-I do too." I can do this… "Um, you go first." Stop being a chicken!

Freddie looked at her, "Well, if you say so," Freddie paused for a second. "What I wanted to say was," I can't do this! "Oh, you know what? Never mind. It can wait." I was so close! Its just too hard! "So, what did you have to say?"

Sam gulped, "You know what? This can wait too," Urg! Stupid, Sam! Stupid! "Well… we could… just watch the sunset! Yeah, we can just watch the sun…"

"Set!" Freddie finished.

"Right!" Both of their eyes darted immediately towards the glowing sun.


Lex and Carly were filming and spying on them.

"They almost admitted," Lex sighed. Carly nodded.

"So its time for Plan B," Carly grinned. Then she looked over at Taylor who wasn't far from them and gave her a thumbs up. Taylor saw the signal and waited for the right moment to start her part of the plan…


"So…" Freddie said nervously, "What was that thing that you wanted to tell me? Its not like we're leaving anytime soon." What DID she want to say?

"Well, it really can wait-"

She loves you! Yeah, yeah, yeah!

Freddie and Sam jumped from the surprising music.

"What was that?" Freddie yelled. She loves you? Why was that playing?

"Apparently it was the Beatles hit, 'She Loves You'," Sam blushed at the song that was playing a few seconds ago.

"But, why?" Freddie looked around and saw no one. Then he turned back to Sam. "So, what did you want to say, Sam? Come on, you can tell me! We're best friends!" He smiled.

"Well if you really want to know-"

I'll tell you something

I think you'll understand

When I say that something

I want to hold your hand!

"Really! What is up with these Beatles songs!" Sam yelled. They both stood up and looked around.

"And its weird how it interrupted when you were about to tell me!" Freddie laughed. "Its also funny how the song fitted perfectly with the sentence you were saying!"

Sam laughed nervously, "Yeah, really." I am going to KILL whoever is doing this! She looked at Freddie, "You know what I'm going to say it!"

"Okay. Is something bothering you?" Freddie worried. "It kind of seems like it."

"No!" Sam exclaimed, "its not that." I'm really going to say it this time. "Its just that…"

I think I love you, so what am I so afraid of

I'm afraid that I'm not sure of a love there is no cure for

I think I love you isn't that what life is made of

Though it worries me to say that I never felt this way!

Fine, if they want to play this game. Sam thought. She closed her eyes and started singing, "Believe me you really don't have to worry. I only wanna make you happy and if you say 'Hey go away!' I will. But I think better still, I'd better stay around and love you. Do you think I have a case? Let me ask you to your face. Do you think you love me?" Sam was breathing heavily, and Freddie just stared at her. Damn! That was only the stupidest thing I've ever done.


"I didn't expect that." Carly was shocked at Sam's musical outburst.

"Hey, it works!" Lex added.


"Oh gosh. I am SO sorry. I was just annoyed by the stupid music, and I had to do something. I'm so embarrassed," Sam looked down at her feet. I can't even look at him!

"Sam-"

"You don't have to say it. What I did was SO humiliating!" Sam yelled.

"No, that's not what I wanted to say," Freddie smiled. "Was what you sang true? Do you love me?" Freddie was grinning hopefully. Please say yes!

Its out, so I might as well say it. "Yeah, it was all true. I do love you! I do want to hold your hand! And," Sam looked up at Freddie, "And if you do want me to go away, I will!" A tear went down her face.

Freddie grinned, "Sam," he took her chin and brought her face up to look at him. "I love you too." Sam got a shocked look on her face.

"What?" Sam grinned. "I thought you said that you loved me back, but I could be hallucinating," they both laughed.

"But I do," They both smiled at each other. "All this time, I thought you were going to reject me and beat me up," Freddie laughed.

"I wouldn't do that!… unless it was about a month ago," Sam giggled. "I was thinking the same thing. The rejection part I mean. You could never beat me up."

"Because I wouldn't hit a girl?"

"No, because I'm tougher than you," Sam laughed. Freddie just shook his head.

"I hate to admit this, but you're right," Then he looked into her eyes, "So you love me?"

"Yeah, I do," They were very close to each other.

"So, will you be my girlfriend?" Sam laughed.

"We say that we love each other and you're asking?"

"I want to make it official," Freddie smiled.

"Same ol' Fredward," Sam laughed. "Of course I'll be your girlfriend! You dork."

"I'm still a dork?!"

"Yeah, but you're my dork now," They gazed into each other's eyes and they both leaned in. When their lips touched, they closed their eyes and it was like they were the only people on earth. All of their problems just washed away. The kiss grew more passionate as Sam wrapped her arms around Freddie's neck, and as Freddie's hands held Sam's waist. When they finally let go of each other to get some air, they both were grinning from ear to ear.

"You're not a bad kisser… for a dork," Sam laughed.

"You're not so bad either," Freddie laughed. "You're singing wasn't that bad either."

"Oh, gosh. Don't remind me!" Sam looked down. "It was like a musical where people randomly burst into song and dance!"

"At least you didn't dance!" Freddie added.

"Thank God!" Sam looked back up at Freddie. "Do you want to kiss again?"

"Yeah," They both started kissing again.


Taylor ran over to Carly and Lex.

"Aw! Look at them! Its so sweet!" Taylor exclaimed. Lex stopped filming. "I didn't expect Sam to sing though. That just threw me completely off guard!"

"I know!" Carly giggled. "Good timing by the way. You even got the right parts of the songs in!"

Taylor laughed, "I'm good with the fingers. They're like lightning!" all three of them laughed.

"Well, we should start to get ready to sleep. Its getting dark," Lex said. "I'll get the speakers and the mp3 player."

"I go with you," Carly and Lex got up from their crouched position.

"I'll see you guys at camp then," The blonde pointed at the couple who was still kissing, "And make sure that they get back to camp too."

Lex and Carly laughed and they went their separate ways.


If you know you're in love with someone, you feel fireworks when you kiss he or she. As Freddie and Sam were kissing, there were definitely fireworks. And after a minute of their second kiss, there were actually fireworks! They let go of each other and looked up.

"What just shot up in the air?" Sam asked. Freddie's eyes grew wide.

"It's the flare gun!" Freddie exclaimed. They both looked at each other and ran down the beach to find who shot that flare gun. They found Nathan. When he saw them he yelled, "Guys! There's a plane!" He pointed up at the sky, and there was a plane far down the sky.

"Guys!" Freddie exclaimed. Then everyone else came to the beach at once.

"Nathan!" Daley exclaimed. "Why did you… Oh my God."

"A plane!" Eric screamed. Soon, everyone was jumping and screaming to catch the plane's attention.

"Hey over here!"

"We're over here!"

And then they saw the small white plane get closer and closer to the island.

"We're going home!" Taylor cried, and everyone started hugging each other and cheering… because they were going home!


An hour later…

On the sand on the beach, were three helicopters. They were going to transport all of the people on the island to a huge ship, which would take them all to the Philippines. It was the closest country to the island. It turns out that one of the rescue helicopters in that area spotted the mirror covered raft.

Everyone was packed and ready to go, but some weren't ready to leave yet. The original castaways had to do something special first.

"Hey guys?" Sam said to all of them, "We're going to the ship now, alright?" The seven of them nodded and Sam, Freddie and Carly got in the red helicopter that soon flew off.

The people that crashed six years ago all walked to the fire pit to have their last moment on the island. Jackson got in the middle of everyone and spoke.

"Guys, we have spent six whole years at this island. We had some good times, bad times, and a whole bunch of memories that will NEVER come out of our minds," He took a deep breath. "And thanks to our new friends that crashed here twenty-seven days ago, we're finally going to see our families and friends again. But in these six years here, we have become a new family that was always there for each other. So, what I'm trying to say is, this island is the worst.. and best part of out lives, that we shouldn't forget it." Jackson sighed and stood by Melissa. Jackson doesn't way much, but when he does, it says so much.

"Amen to that chief!" Eric yelled. "So with that wonderful speech, I say let's go home!" They all cheered and walked to the helicopters. But then Eric stopped them again, "Wait."

"What is it, Eric?" Melissa asked.

"I just wanted to say that I knew about 'Operation: Seddie'," He said with air quotes, "the entire time." Taylor put her hands on her hips.

"You read my diary, didn't you?" Taylor asked.

"Of course, my dear!" he laughed.

"It's a good thing that we're going home, or else something bad might have happened to you," Everyone, except Eric, laughed and continued walking to the beach.

"Wait," Eric started to catch up with the group, "what bad things are you talking about? Taylor?!"


Back in Seattle…

Spencer and Ms. Benson were sitting down at the Shay's apartment, depressed with their cell phones sitting on their laps. But this wasn't going to end like the other depressing days.

Spencer's phone rang, and Spencer sluggishly flipped it open and started talking, "Hello?"

"Hi Spencer," It was a deep voice. Spencer's eyes widened.

"Dad!" Spencer exclaimed and stood up. Ms. Benson stood up also with a excited look on her face. "What is it?"

"I have some good news for all of us, son. We found Carly and her friends," Spencer screamed at the top of his lungs and dropped his phone, which broke in two when it hit the ground.

"What is it Spencer?" Ms. Benson asked.

"They're going home!" Spencer exclaimed and started jumping around in the living room.

"My son's alive!" Ms. Benson yelled, then she soon became serious. "Is he hurt in any way? Did he use his tick shampoo? Oh! I should have packed that 'Cloud Block'!" Spencer stopped jumping and walked up to her.

"Ms. Benson. They're fine. We should be glad that they're alive, okay?" Ms. Benson sighed.

"Okay," Then she immediately ran to her apartment.

"Hey! Where are you going!?" Spencer yelled.

"The first thing I'm going to do with him is put on some 'Cloud Block'!" She yelled back. Spencer shook his head, but soon started to jump with joy again.


A/N: Whoo! They're going home! And Freddie and Sam are boyfriend/girlfriend! This was a fun, yet difficult chapter to write. I started laughing as I was typing the singing part. Lol! I hope you enjoyed it!

Wait… you think this is the end? You make me laugh. Of course this isn't the final chapter! There's going to be a few more for your reading enjoyment! One more thing…

Yet another 'Disclaimer': I do not own the Beatles (If I did, I would've ruled the world my now) or the Partridge Family.
