Ughhh, Why Us?
Disclaimer: I don't own icarly or victorious. I don't follow victorious I just used tori so she is most like o.c.
The rest of their day way was spent in peace, just the two of them. They had texted Brad and Lexi to let them know everything was fine and that they would talk to them tomorrow. It wasn't until half way through the second movie did Sam's phone ring disturbing the peace as usual. She glanced at the caller id making sure it was someone she wanted to talk to before she answered. As soon as she saw that it was Tori she hit the send button.
"Hey girl hey" she greeted her friend.
After the whole Tori and Carly dated the same creep at the same time fiasco was over, Tori and Sam kept in touch. In fact in the past year they had become incredibly close, each making the long trip to see the other whenever it was possible.
"Hey mama" came Tori's voice from the other end. "How goes it?"
"It goes. How about you?"
"Same shit as always."
"So to what do I owe the pleasure of your long overdue yet totally welcomed phone call?"
"I have an offer for you or favor whichever way you choose to look at it" This couldn't be good.
"Out with it Vega"
"So I met this boy, he's super cute and really charming. He's a singer/songwriter."
"Of course he is." Sam interrupted her ramble.
"Anyways." She stretched out the word longer than necessary. "We were talking one night about how he wanted to make a music video."
"I know where this is going" Sam said in her bored monotone voicw.
"And I said I had friends" she continued on as if she didn't hear Sam's commentary.
"Freddie and I"
"That had done some music videos in the past."
"And swore never to do them again because they were awful experiences."
"And he asked if I thought they would be interested in doing another."
"We're not."
"So I said absolutely."
"Of course you did"
"And so now I'm calling because you're the friend I was talking about and Freddie too of course."
"You don't say. I would've never guessed that" Sam remarked sarcastically.
"Please Sam? I really like him. And his dad is super rich so he has no problem paying you whatever you and Freddie ask for."
"It's not about the money, although that does sweeten the deal"
"Just think, it's another thing to add to both of your resumes. You have a year of inactivity to make up for."
"Uggghhhh." Sam felt herself caving and she really didn't want to but then she realized something. "What does this have to do with me? Freddie is the tech guy you should be talking to him."
"True buuuuuuuut he needs a leading lady."
"And you aren't it, becauuuuuuuuse?"
"Because I like him and it would be weird! It's like tattooing your significant other's name on you, it's total bad luck."
"It's only bad luck if you believe it is."
"Well I believe it! Please Sammy! I'm begging you; I really, really, really like this guy." Tori pleaded.
"I'll talk to Freddie about it." She relented with distain in every word.
"Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! You won't regret this."
"I highly doubt that."
"I'm ignoring your negativity. Go talk to that boy toy of yours and text me with his answer."
"Fine."
"Yay!" she squealed. "Okay, love you, Bye."
"Love you, Bye."
"What did she want?" Freddie asked fearfully putting their movie on pause.
"There's a new boy in her life."
"Let me guess, he's a singer."
"Yup and guess who wants to make a music video."
"The new singer boyfriend."
"That's right, Nubby. And guess who volunteered us to star in / direct said video."
"Tori"
"The one and only." She confirmed as he groaned in displeasure. "I take it you don't want to do it?"
"I didn't say I wouldn't do it. I'm just not jumping at the chance to get involved with another one of Tori's boyfriends. I still get random calls from a dude sobbing and I swear it's her ex Tyler."
"He was the weakest of them all." She paused. "So what are we going to do?"
"She has to understand that business and friendship are two different things. She can't pitch a fit at us in the future if her and this dude break up but we still work with him. This isn't something to do for fun, this is a career for me now and I can't have overly emotional girls interfering with that."
"I completely agree and I'll tell her that."
"If she agrees to the terms then I'll write up the contract for this guy and we'll head down to L.A."
"Can he pay us in bacon?" Sam asked in all seriousness.
"No. that's only beneficial to you."
"What's your point?"
"Bacon doesn't pay bills."
"But it fills me up."
"You're impossible, did you know that?"
"Yup."
"Watch the movie crazy girl." Freddie ended the battle of wills knowing he would lose.
Sam put up no protest and snuggled deeper into the bed resting her head on his chest. She would get her bacon one way or another so there was no point in fighting about it.
Next stop….. California!
