Chapter 25

Paint Pants

(A/N:I'm back! :) The play went perfectly, thanks for asking. :p The title of this chapter has NOTHING to do with the actual chapter, I just wanted to call a chapter Paint Pants in honor of my trusty Paint Pants that have three years' worth of paint on them. If you want me to show you them I will put them on my photobucket page. :D I will also put the "Purple Palace" on there. :) Hope you enjoy this chapter! Oh and thanks to: Brownsugar12, addictedtochocolates, KittiesOnTheDarkSide, and my friend Lauryn for answering my question at the end of last chapter, all four of whom got it right! Also I would like to thank them, and all other reviewers, for their very kind words and pieces of advice regarding my story! I really appreciate it! Song lyrics are going to be bolded and in italics, just so we are clear. One last note: Get out some crackers, because this chapter is really cheesy in the beginning! I had to stop a few times because I was laughing so hard.)

One more thing: I started another story called iMeet You or something like that :D Please read it if you get the chance :)

From Chapter 24:

"Ladies and gentlemen, we are going to do things a little different at this wedding. We are going to do the First Dances BEFORE dinner. Okay, here we go." She got out of the way of Sam and Freddie as they made their way onto the dance floor, and nodded to the band. They nodded back, grabbed the mics and began to sing:

The situation turns around enough to figure out
That someone else has let you down
So many times I don't know why
But I know we can make it as long as you say it

So tell me that you love me yeah
And tell me that I take your breath away
And maybe if you take one more than I would know for sure
There's nothing left to say
Tell me that you love me anyway
Tell me that you love me anyway
Ohhh

Claire looked over at Sam and Freddie. They looked so happy right now, dancing and laughing together. Awww.

Waking up beside yourself and what you feel inside
Is being shared with someone else
Nowhere to hide I don't know why
But I know we can make it
As long as you say it

So tell me that you love me yeah
And tell me that I take your breath away
And maybe if you take one more than I would know for sure
There's nothing left to say
Tell me that you love me anyway

"Hey," Freddie whispered into Sam's ear. "I've told you that I love you, right?"

Sam laughed. "Uh, yeah. I think you did."

"Okay then."

Show me look what we found turn it around every day
I can hear what you say
Know I know why know we can make it
If tell me that you love me yeah
And tell me that I take your breath away
And maybe if you take one more

So tell me that you love me yeah
And tell me that I take your breath away
Maybe if you take one more than I would know for sure
There's nothing left to say
Tell me that you love me anyway

The guests put all their cameras away and started to cheer, and started to walk towards the dance floor to get ready for the next song. But Claire quickly grabbed Andre's mic.

"Hold up, people. We have one more performance for all of you, with all the members of the bridal party. Here we go!" and handed the mic to the other boy who had stepped up next to Tori getting ready to sing. Claire then motioned over to Spencer, who ran and got ready to open the doors.

Suddenly my choice is clear
I knew it only you and I
Were standing here
And beautiful
Is all I see
It's only you I know it's true
It has to be

Well that money is a waste of fame
You didn't earn it
You don't deserve it
True love doesn't cost a thing
Don't try to buy it
You can't return it
(No, no, no, no)

Well
Your friends are doing
All the same things
And my friends say,
"Look at what you're wasting"
But it doesn't matter
If we change their minds

Suddenly Spencer opened the doors and Carly, Melanie, Gibby, and Brad ran in onto the dance floor. They were all doing the choreographed routine Carly had set up with Claire earlier, except for Gibby who was dancing like a maniac. Scratch that. He was dancing like a Gibby. A hyped-up-on-a-sugar-high Gibby. But it was perfect.

Suddenly
I can see
What I didn't before
And I don't care
What they say anymore
'Cause I'm falling, falling
Finally falling, falling

I don't need all the finer things
Diamond rings are nothin'
So show me something

'Cause love is all I ever wanted
And now I've got it
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

My friends are wondering
What you're thinking
And your friends probably
Think the same thing
Well it doesn't
Matter
If we change their minds

Suddenly
I can see
What I didn't before
And I don't care
What they say anymore
'Cause I'm falling, falling
Finally falling, falling

Claire laughed. They all looked like they were having so much fun, jumping and dancing around. She looked around at all the guests. They looked like they were enjoying it too. She breathed a sigh of relief. You did good Claire. You did good.

If you can't find your love
When you're in it
Just forget it
It will change your mind
Once you get it
Don't you get it?
'Cause we did it (Yeah, we did it)

Suddenly
I can see
What I didn't before
And I don't care
What they say anymore
'Cause I'm falling, falling
Finally falling, falling

The guests burst into applause, an even bigger one than the last song. Claire ran over as Tori's friend Beck handed her his mic. "Thank you! And please give a big round of applause to our Wedding Party: Carly Shay, Melanie Puckett, Gibby Gibson, and Bradley Riley!" The applause got even louder. "We welcome you to the Wedding Reception of Samantha Puckett-Benson and Freddie Benson! Please enjoy the food and have fun!" (A/N I got Brad's last name off of a 48 Hours-like mystery show. Is it weird that I enjoy watching those? lol)

Carly walked over to her seat next to Sam at the head table. She waited until everybody at the table had sat down until she turned to look at her best friend. "Sam, why didn't you change your name?"

"I did!" She replied while digging her fork into her piece of ham.

"No, you didn't! You just added to it using a hyphen thingy!"

"Oh, right. Because I want my last name, but Freddie wanted me to be a Benson. I told him there was no way in heck anyone would ever refer to me as Mrs. Benson. So he agreed to compromise with my last name having a little hyphen thingy. At least I didn't change my name to something comical like PuckettandBenson. (A/N: Can anyone tell me what play/musical the last name PuckettandBenson is a reference to?:D)

"Oh. Aww. That's sweet."

"Yeah, yeah. Now, Carly, you know I love you, but can you please shut your face right now so I can finish my ham?" she said as she waved the waiter with the ham over, and put five more pieces on her plate.

"Yeah, sure." She turned her attention away from Sam and looked at the people sitting at the table around her. Melanie sat to her right, picking at her vegetarian pasta. Beth sat next to her cousin, who was digging in to the ham that Claire, who was at the end of the table next to Beth, got for her. She looked the other way. Freddie, of course, was sitting next to Sam, who was joking with Brad and Gibby next to him. She wondered what they were talking about… She looked at Guppy, who was having a thumb war with Spencer. It was clear this battle was not going to end good for Spencer. She chuckled to herself.

After a few more minutes, a lot of the guests had gotten up to dance to a song the crazy redhead was singing. She was actually pretty good. Even Claire had gotten up to dance after a nice boy had asked her. Sam whispered something to Carly, and both laughed while they dragged Freddie and Brad away from the table and out on the dance floor.

After about twenty minutes of dancing a boy with a puppet came up to the mic. He cleared his throat. "Excuse me, I have a song I would like to sing. Here I go. Ahem.

It's fun to run,

Its fun to play,

Its fun to make things out of clay.

Its fun to fill your car with gas.

Its fun to break things made of glass.

Broken glass can cut your hand and then

You'll bleed across the-"

Suddenly he was hit in the head by a high heeled shoe. "ROBBIE!" A voice that Sam recognized as belonging to a girl named Jade yelled. "THAT IS NOT AN ACCEPTABLE SONG TO SING AT A WEDDING! YOU DO THAT AGAIN-HERE OR AT MINE AND BECK'S WEDDING-AND YOU WILL DIE! COMPRENDE?"

"Comprendo." He whispered into the mic.

"GOOD. NOW GET OFF THE STAGE!"

"Yes, mam." He said and scrambled off the stage while his puppet laughed at him.

Freddie chuckled. These people are so WEIRD. He was still laughing to himself when Wendy came up, giving both him and Sam a hug.

"Congratulations, you guys! I am so happy for you! I guess the iCarly fans will be on baby bump watch now. Sam's pregnant, right?"

"Whoa, whoa, no. We're not- we're not pregnant. We're not pregnant, right?" He said, turning to Sam.

"No." God I hope we're not. I'm not ready for that yet.

"Oh. Well, maybe soon. Oh, I love this song!" She exclaimed, making her way back to the dance floor. "Congrats again!"

"That was weird." Freddie whispered to himself. I wonder how many other people here think we are-you know what, I don't really wanna think about it.

One of the boys in the band came up to the mic. "We are taking a short break right now, but if anyone wants to sing karaoke while we are gone, by all means, you are welcome to." He then turned on the karaoke machine behind him.

Two girls walked up to sing at the same time. Carly recognized them from girls who went to their school. One girl moved out of the way so that the other could sing before her. The girl started to sing a slow song. It was slow, but it wasn't too slow that the only way you could dance to it is if you were dead. (A/N: Because the dead can't move! Hahahahaha *Crickets* Okay, then.)

Yeah
Whenever you need someone to talk to I wanna be the one you can run to make things right you know you can call me Whenever you feel down or too lonely you need a friend someone who will come through every time, you know you can Call Me

You know you're not alone I wanna let you know everybody hurts sometimes hearts are made of glass but the hurt won't last, it will be alright
Sometimes we're strong sometimes we crumble, I'll catch you when you fall.

Whenever you need someone to talk to I wanna be the one you can run to make things right you know you can call me Whenever you feel down or too lonely you need a friend someone who will come through every time you know you can Call Me

A brother in the rain shelter from the pain let me be your safe place
I won't disappear I'll always be here, when the love breaks
Sometimes we're strong sometimes we crumble, I'll catch you when you fall

Whenever you need someone to talk to I wanna be the one you can run to make things right you know you can call me Whenever you feel down or too lonely you need a friend someone who will come through every time you know you can Call Me

I know how it feels to be broken hearted, fallin' apart is true
But you are the one that brought me back now it's my turn to be there for you.
Any time you want now
You can Call Me
Any time you need a friend
All you do is just when, yeah any time that you like day or night call my number

Whenever you need someone to talk to I wanna be the one you can run to make things right you know you can call me Whenever you feel down or too lonely you need a friend someone who will come through every time you know you can Call Me

Then the second girl walked up. She looked kinda shy, hiding behind her long, wavy brown hair. She started to sing. The song she chose to sing was much faster than the other girl's.

I turn the hands off the clock back again
I'm trying to stop and rewind...
Uhhhh
I've learnt to say what I feel
It hurts, but thats how I knew it was real
You said "It's too late"
But I wanna rewind...

And I break through
To tell you the truth
That the best of me
Left with you
One more try
Forget goodbye
I swear I'll get it right
This time
I wanna rewind...
I wanna rewind...

I saved every text
Can't erase
The feeling I get when
I pick up you
I wanna rewind...

And I break through
To tell you the truth
That the best of me
Left with you
One more try
Forget goodbye
I swear I'll get it right
This time
I wanna rewind...
I wanna rewind...

I've got nothing to lose
So I look you in the eyes
And let my feelings fly...

Baby, I love you
I'm telling the truth
That the best of me
Left with you
One more try
Forget goodbye
I swear I'll get it right
This time

And I break through
To tell you the truth
That the best of me
Left with you
One more try
Forget goodbye
I swear I'll get it right
This time
I wanna rewind...
I wanna rewind...

Wow, these girls are good! Carly thought. Maybe I should-But then the band came back in, along with their crazy manager, who took a seat at one of the tables and began to eat the leftover ham. Ah, maybe later.

A few hours later, after all the songs had been played and the cake had been eaten-or rather, thrown at all the guests by none other than the bride, who laughed like a maniac while doing so-the band was getting ready to leave.

"Okay, thank you for having us!" Tori said into the mic. "We had a-"

"Wait!" Carly said, running up to the stage, whispering into Tori's ear. Tori nodded.

"Okay looks like we have a few more songs to play!" She handed the mic to Carly.

"Sam, Freddie, your relationship, it makes me laugh sometimes, and sometimes it makes no sense at all, but I want to sing this song because every time I hear it, it reminds me of you. And then I laugh." She motioned to the band to start playing the song.

I know this song. Sam thought. "Oh, geez," she laughed.

My heart booms
At the speed of light
But the exit sign's
Always on my mind
Always in my sight
I can say that I
Really want to stay
But the devil inside
Always wins the fight
Always gets his way

Jump out the window
Gotta get out on the highway
When things are getting too attached
I need an escape
I'm seeing stars and there is
Nothing more that I hate
Baby, there's something that I gotta say

It's disgusting how I love you
I can't take it, I should hate you
Cause you're messing up my name
Gotta walk my talk, my fame
But I just wanna touch your face
It's disgusting
It's disgusting how you changed me
From a bandit to a baby
Think I might gotta change my name
If I'm gonna walk this walk of shame
Look at what you do to me, it's disgusting

My mind blinks
Like a traffic light
It's green and red
And stop and go
Changing all the time
And it makes me scared
That I haven't left
And I'm still right here
More, more, more or less

Jump out in traffic
Yeah, I gotta go my own way
My heart is slipping, too intense
I need an escape
I'm seeing stars and there is
Nothing more that I hate
Baby, there's something that I gotta say

It's disgusting how I love you
I can't take it, I should hate you
Cause you're messing up my name
Gotta walk my talk, my fame
But I just wanna touch your face
It's disgusting
It's disgusting how you changed me
From a bandit to a baby
Think I might gotta change my name
If I'm gonna walk this walk of shame
Look at what you do to me, it's disgusting

Chapter by chapter
I'm falling faster and faster
Becoming manic, the magic
It's so romantic, I panic oh
Hit the eject button but
It must be stuck, something's up
I'm drifting out
Right over the brink, baby

It's disgusting how I love you
I can't take it, I should hate you
Cause you're messing up my name
Gotta walk my talk, my fame
But I just wanna touch your face
It's disgusting
It's disgusting how you changed me
From a bandit to a baby
Think I might gotta change my name
If I'm gonna walk this walk of shame
Look at what you do to me, it's disgusting
Look at what you do to me, it's disgusting

The audience started to cheer, but Carly went right on talking. The faster I do this, the faster I am outta here! "Okay, I just want to sing this one, because I sand it at a wedding long ago, and I just feel the need to sing it again."

I saw you there, so beautiful
You stopped and stared, so magical
Then you asked me for my name
And we took an out town train
Before you leave, get up to go
I wanna know

Do you like Shakespeare? Jeff Buckely?
Watching movies on Sunday?
Do you like kissing when it's raining?
Making faces in the station?
Do you like, I need to know
What do you like? before you go

You walk me home, so wonderful
It starts to snow, it's incredible
Now we're walking up my street
And you slowly turn to me
You're three inches from my lips
But before we do this

Do you like Shakespeare? Jeff Buckely?
Watching movies on Sunday?
Do you like kissing when it's raining?
Making faces in the station?
Do you like, I need to know
What do you like? before you go, oh oh

Show me the place where you come from
And the places you dream of
I wanna know everything you are
But before we get that far
Do you like, I need to know
Do you like, before you go

Do you like Shakespeare? Jeff Buckely?
Watching movies on Sunday?
Do you like kissing when it's raining?
Making faces in the station?

Cause I like Shakespeare? Jeff Buckely?
Watching movies on Sunday?
Do you like kissing when it's raining?
Making faces in the station?
Do you like, yea yea yea yea

Sam ran u onto the stage to give Carly a hug. Claire came up behind them.

"So, what did you think?" She asked Sam.

"Best wedding ever. Not like I'd ever been to one before." She grabbed Carly and Freddie's hands and dragged them out the door. "Now let's go home. I'm tired."

(A/n: I'm tired too! But in preparation for my doctor's appointment tomorrow, I must be sleep deprived! Oh, joy! Anyway, the "wedding" is officially over (longest chapter ever!), but I will continue this story! What happens next? Hmm…I don't know. "Song List" from the wedding is on my profile, along with more photobucket photos. If you want to know what I have been doing over my little break, I have been painting…and reading. And… last weekend I went to a wedding reception and saw this guy I haven't seen in like a year…He's still cute. Just saying. Oh, Happy Thanksgiving to all my readers in the US! Please Review! :) )
