A Royal Pain
Disclaimer: I don't own iCarly
A/N: Yes I know, I'm doing another iCarly, this I tried to make this an oneshot but it was getting too long for it. ICarly is the best for the plot idea in my head. The characters are 16 here.
A/N:Yes, I'm giving you two in one day. It's because this chapter here is the finishing chapter, yet the last chapter was originally intended to be just that.
Chapter 12 (The Royal Advisors)
Freddie convinced Bernard to let him visit Spencer and Carly one final time, Sam's family collected her things and she was on the plane flying to England, they wanted the queen to be there first. It was customary for the Queen to greet the King and Sam had to be prepped and whatnot. Bernard and Freddie stood behind the door to Carly's apartment and knocked. "Who is it?" Spencer asked from inside.
"It's Freddie!"
"Come in!" Freddie walked into the room with Bernard and Carly smiled at him.
"Hey, have you seen Sam at all today?" Carly asked. "I haven't seen her…" Carly walked over to the kitchen area where Spencer was and patted him on the back. "Hey Spencer, how are those tacos coming?"
"They're going great," Spencer said. He stood up straight and remembered something, Freddie was leaving today. He turned to Freddie and frowned. "So you came to say goodbye to us before you left, Freddie?"
"Yeah, I was able to convince Spencer here to let me come say goodbye," Freddie said as he crossed his arms. "I'm actually thinking of letting him retire though and giving his job to you, Spencer."
"Wait, what would that make me?"
"The king's most trusted advisor." Freddie shrugged and walked over to Spencer. "Sort of like the King's best friend of sorts. He helps the king out and makes sure all the king remembers to do the royal duties. He also makes sure the king doesn't kill his schedule." Bernard raised his eyebrow and sighed.
"I'm afraid I am retiring anyway," Bernard said. "Each King has a new advisor though. It is customary for the King's advisor to be a close friend; I know that I was the best friend of King Freddie's father." Freddie sighed and rubbed his forehead.
"If you accept the offer, Spencer, continue talking and acting like normal." Freddie casually pointed his thumb toward Bernard. "Don't become like him."
"Pardon me sir, but what is wrong with me?"
"You have a highly British accent; I think…You talk and walk kind of stuffy-like."
"It's the training they put me through. Your father had high expectations as well."
"Okay, well for my royal advisor, I want Spencer and I want him to act like he normally does." Freddie tapped his chin and eyed Spencer. "Of course, it's 'customary' for the advisors to go through training, so you'll have to do that anyway. So, do you accept the offer, Spencer?" Spencer grinned widely and crossed his arms.
"Would Carly come?" Spencer asked.
"All advisors have family that lives on the royal grounds," Bernard stated.
"Sweet…Would I still be able to be an artist?"
"Yes," Freddie said with a nod. "You could still be an artist. That is correct, right Bernard?"
"Yes, all advisors are allowed to have hobbies of their own," Bernard stated.
"Then I'll do it!" Spencer said with a grin.
"That's great, I'm glad you'll accept the job." Freddie turned to Carly and crossed his arms. "Now, I have an offer you, Carly."
"Uh…what's that?" Carly asked. She chuckled nervously and Freddie rolled his eyes.
"Oh brother…My new queen is waiting for me in England; I think you'll enjoy meeting her."
"Oh, you already choose a Queen?"
"Yes, she was the Princess of Denmark. Now she is the Queen of England. We have to do the ceremony and she's getting prepared for that. I'm personally inviting you to that ceremony and the Queen is going to want you to be there, as well as wanting to talk to you. I'd offer you to be the Queen's royal advisor, but she'd have to ask you herself."
"The royal advisors undergo much training," Bernard said. "Ms. Shay is the right age to begin it, Mr. Shay is not at a bad age, but it would have been best if he were slightly younger. I was twenty three when I began my training."
"From what Bernard tells me, you'll hear a lot about the previous advisor. However, the actions of the advisor seem to depend on the King's expectations. Now remember, I don't expect you to be perfect, so don't let the previous advisor's record mess with your head."
"I was not perfect…"
"That comes as a shock. Anyway, we have to go now. Pack your things…you're moving to England. You'd do your best to say goodbye to all of your friends."
"What about Sam?" Carly asked.
"It is not necessary for you to say goodbye to her."
"Have you said goodbye?"
"No."
"Why!" Carly slammed her foot on the ground and Freddie glanced at her as he turned to the door. "Is she really nothing to you? So much that you don't say goodbye to her? What the hell!"
"You are not to talk to the King like that!" Bernard said. Freddie glanced up at the door and held his hand in the air.
"It is not necessary Bernard. Trust me Carly, come to England and meet the Queen."
"Well if I can't say goodbye to Sam, then what's the point of going!"
"We have to go now," Bernard said. Freddie nodded and walked out the door. He knew if she was mad enough, she'd go to England just to bash him. He knew Carly as well as Sam and they knew that she would really turn down the offer and eventually convince Spencer not to go to England. That is why he did not tell Carly that Sam was already his Queen and they already had their crowning ceremony that bound them together. It was a different type of wedding, similar in the fact that there was a minister that pronounced them man and wife but they had cups they drank out of. They had a special drink that was in the cup and they fed the other person the drink.
-NEW SCENE-
"Finally we've caught up to you!" Carly exclaimed as they walked to a car. They had now arrived in England and were going into a limousine. Freddie sighed as some men moved Carly and Spencer's things into the car. Next everyone got into the limo and drove to the royal courts.
"I never thought I'd become King and never had I thought that I'd find such a beautiful Princess," Freddie said as he placed his hands behind his head and leaned back in the seat. "It's even better than those dumb fairy tales, Sam was right, fairy tale princess don't exist."
"Okay, speaking about Sam!"
"You do realize you've left without saying goodbye to her also, right?" Spencer asked. He sighed and looked over to Freddie. "So, you never did tell us, who is your new Queen?" Freddie smirked as they started to slow down near the royal palace. Freddie pointed out the window causing Carly and Spencer to look out. Mrs. Benson and Sam were standing in place surrounded by several people.
"It's Sam!" Carly exclaimed. "What is she doing here!"
"She's my beautiful Queen," Freddie said as the car parked. "Thank you very much, Carly. I'm going to have to talk to Sam about your attitude." Carly's cheeks grew red as everyone exited the car. "We wanted to surprise you." Freddie walked over to Sam and kissed her as Carly ran over to Sam and squealed.
"I can't believe it! Wait, does this mean you're also a Princess!" Carly exclaimed with joy. Sam smiled and hugged Carly.
"Yes, I…was a Princess," Sam stated. "I'm a queen now, I'm royalty and I have the greatest husband ever." Sam looked at Freddie and smiled. "How could I not be happy?"
"So Sam, what was it you wanted to ask Carly?" Freddie asked with a wink.
"Oh, I wanted Carly to be my royal advisor. The advisor to the Queen, it just wouldn't be right if Carly wasn't around."
"Of course," Carly said with a smile. "I would love to be your royal advisor. So, when do Spencer and I begin our training?"
"Really it's close to immediately, you have a few days to get settled and everything. I have to talk a lot with the Queen Mother and learn more about the duties of a queen."
"The Queen Mother, who's the Queen Mother?"
"The former Queen…That would be Mrs. Benson. I'm Mrs. Benson…Okay, that would be Freddie's mom."
"I have a while before I must retire," Bernard says. "I'm sure I can give Spencer a lot of advice."
"I can talk to Freddie and Sam about how the royal duties go," Mrs. Benson stated.
"How often will I see you, Sam?" Carly asked. Sam looked over and smiled.
"As often as you like," Sam stated. "The royal advisors are almost always with the King and Queen. Oh, you guys should come inside the palace!"
"This place is huge!" Spencer stated.
"Yeah, and this is just the outside." Spencer's mouth dropped and Sam smiled at him. Sam linked her arm with Freddie and kissed him on the lips. They all walked inside of the palace and Spencer's eyes grew large. Carly stared in awe of the entire palace walls.
"Something tells me you two are going to enjoy learning about this place," Freddie said with a smile. "I know Sam and I are looking forward to it."
"I've already got all the rooms and whatnot memorized," Sam said with a proud smirk.
"What? How on earth is that possible?" Freddie looked at Sam and his eyebrow began twitching.
"I'm a Princess, I'm supposed to memorize things quickly. I know my Dad's palace from head to toe, it didn't take long to learn this place."
"So do you guys actually have those big throne chairs?" Spencer asked. Sam nodded and pointed to a door.
"In there is the largest room of all, that's where the King and Queen sit when they have royal meetings and stuff. It's literally the throne room."
"Wow, this is definitely the life," Carly said with a smile. "What about the show, iCarly? Will it continue?"
"I didn't lose a tech producer," Sam said as she glanced toward Freddie. "Freddie also found himself a princess and I know he loves that one for who she truly is."
"Of course I do," Freddie said as he kissed Sam's lips.
"Mm, so good…iCarly will definitely continue on for as long as we can do it. It may be difficult but we'll definitely try to continue it. What do you think Freddie?"
"I think that's a great idea. You know, I'm glad everything is settled now. I have the most beautiful woman at my side, some of my closest friends are going to be tops in my royal courts and I don't have to worry about girls chasing me around anymore." Freddie smiled and shook his head. "Man this last week, up to this point was a pain."
"I'd agree with you Freddie." Sam laughed lightly and smiled. "I had to deal with my family trying to get me to marry a prince, they got what they wanted and I got what I wanted…you. This last week though wasn't just a pain, it was truly, a royal pain!"
That's the end to a great story right there I suppose. Thanks to all who reviewed it and read it. Reviews, they keep me updating. If you wouldn't mind, go see my other fic, Sam's Dark Past. That needs some people following it, there isn't a lot of people reviewing it, if any anymore. I'm getting down about that story, I've finished writing it and there's a lot of chapters. If I don't get reviews, I feel it's not a good story. Anyway I'm glad you all enjoyed this one!
