Chapter Twenty-Five

(All bad things must come to an end Part 1)

Sorry it's taken so long to update; please don't be mad, but I have been working on the publishing of my book. There's more to the process than I thought, although it's been a fun experience. Have most of the process done, but still a little more to go. I'll update a little more regularly now that I have a little more time. I think most of you will enjoy this chapter. There's a little surprise at the end of part 2. Enjoy.

When Sam and Freddie finished their kiss, Sam laid her head on Freddie's shoulder, and watched as Jennifer walked away, and disappear around the corner; still looking shocked and upset. Sam had a feeling of satisfaction, knowing Jennifer finally got the hint. Sam looked back up to Freddie; catching him gazing at her.

"What?" She asked.

"You look cute when you win." He said,

"Yes…mama does like to win; but this win came with a perk." She said getting lost in his big brown eyes.

"Perk? What perk?" He asked, not quite understanding Sam's comment.

Sam just rolled her eyes at him.

"This!" She said; then mashed her lips into his. After a few seconds, Carly walked around the corner and saw them sucking face.

"Cool it with the PDA." She said while walking over to them. Sam quickly spun around looking startled.

"Geese Carl's. You just ruined our moment." Sam exclaimed.

"Moment? Looks like you two have been having a moment for a while." She said smiling and noticing how happy Sam was looking.

"Yeah, yeah. Guess I'll see you later Fred Dork. I have to escort the mood killer back to her locker." Sam said as she walked away and giving one more glance at him before they rounded the corner.

Freddie walked off towards his locker smiling, and replaying their moment over and over in is mind. Suddenly Freddie was brought out of his daydream when he heard Gibby calling for him from behind.

"Freddie…wait up!" He yelled as he caught up to him.

"What's up GIB?" He asked; curious as to why he was in such a hurry, and a little out of breath.

"I'm doing it!"

"Doing what?" Freddie asked confused.

"Carly…I'm going to ask her out!" He said all excited.

When Jennifer walked away from Sam and Freddie, she was upset. All she had been trying for had just slipped through her fingers.

"What happened? This wasn't supposed to happen; Sam was supposed to take interest in David; making Freddie see he needed me!" She thought to herself; starting to feel less upset and angrier the more she thought about it.

Just then, Jennifer ran into someone; knocking her down onto the floor; scattering her books everywhere.

"What the Chiz?" She yelled; collecting her books from the floor.

"Why don't you watch where you're going you big…" Jennifer stopped mid-sentence.

"Oh…hi David…he he…I didn't know it was you." She said in a shy bashful way.

To her surprise; he didn't look mad at her anymore. In fact, it was just the opposite. He was smiling nervously.

"I'm sorry Jen; I didn't see you coming around the corner." He said as he reached his hand down to her to help her back up to her feet.

"It's okay; I wasn't really watching where I was going." She said; seeing a difference in him.

"Now that we're here. I wanted to apologize for talking to you the way I did, I shouldn't have done that." He said a little remorseful.

"No…you had every right. I shouldn't have tricked you like that." She said; still seeing something different about him.

"Listen Jen, let's just forget about that. In fact I…um…would you…" David was nervously stumbling on his words.

"Would I what?" She asked.

"Can we go somewhere after school and talk?" He asked.

"Um…sure. Where do you want to go?" She asked, with her curiosity peeked.

"How about we go to the Groovy Smoothie?"

"Sounds good to me." She said, almost completely forgetting about how she was feeling moments ago.

"Okay then it's a date…I mean I'll meet you out front after school." He said giving her a smile.

"See you then." She said as she adjusted her books and headed for her last class of the day.

"Really Gib…are you sure?" Freddie asked.

"Of course…why would I tell you that if I wasn't sure?" He asked.

"No reason…um okay. Well good luck with that." Freddie said.

Freddie turned and continued to his locker; when Gibby grabbed a hold of his arm, making him stop.

"Remember when you said you would help me?"

"No…when did I say that?"

"You said you would help me out…remember?"

"Oh…yeah. What do you want me to do; you already said you were going to ask her out. What do you need me for?" Freddie asked.

"I want to make it a double date. You know…Carly and me, and you and Sam. I think it would go better if you guys were there with me." Gibby said looking nervous.

"I don't know Gib, I'm not sure Sam will go for it." He said plainly.

"But you said you would help."

Freddie couldn't look at Gibby and tell him no. He did tell him he would help him out. But he also knew Sam wasn't going to be thrilled about the idea.

"Alright Gib. I'll see what I can do. But I make no promises…okay?" He said.

"Okay; I'll go ask Carly and let her know that you guys will be coming with us." He said.

Before Freddie could say a word; Gibby was gone; leaving him with no other choice but to ask Sam to go with him on the date he wasn't even sure was going to happen.

"Okay Sam…spill it."

"Spill what?" Sam asked as if she didn't know what Carly wanted.

"You know what…the deets." She said looking overly anxious and excited to find out.

"Freddie and me were letting Jennifer know in a way she couldn't misunderstand, that Freddie and I were dating. That's all."

"That's all?" Carly asked

Sam started smiling at the mere thought of what they had just done.

"No…we kinda made out…that is until you came along. No offense Carl's. You really do have bad timing. Besides, the plan worked. Jennifer took off down the hall after seeing us. I don't think she'll be bothering us anymore." She said while walking around Carly to get the books she needed for her last class.

"Why are you grabbing books, you never take books to class?"

"I guess a little of Freddie's nerdiness slipped in during the kiss." Sam joked.

Carly rolled her eyes as the two walked off to class.

After class, Carly was getting all the books she was going to needed for homework; when Gibby showed up.

"Uh…hi Carl's. What's up?" Gibby asked nervously.

"Not much…why?"

"Just wanted to know if you wanted to go to the cheesecake factory tomorrow." Gibby asked while looking down at the floor, and sliding his foot back and forth.

Suddenly Carly was feeling excited, but she wasn't sure about whether or not it was a date, or just something to do as friends. So she hid her excitement from him. Carly noticed he looked a little less Gibbyish than he normally did.

"Um…I guess so."

"Great! It's a date!"

"A date?" Carly asked feeling the excitement grow inside her.

"Yeah you know. What couples do."

Gibby's eyes widened when he realized he had just called him and Carly a couple. Carly smiled; and couldn't believe what she was hearing.

"Are you asking me out on a date?"

"Um…yeah. But if you don't want to; I completely understand."

"Sure. I think it would be fun."

"That's okay. I needed to get something…WHAT?"

"Yeah, I'd love to." Carly said; feeling relieved that Gibby might actually have the same feelings she was having.

"Oh yeah. I kinda told Freddie that I would make it a double date. You know you and me, and Sam and Freddie." He said feeling more confident, now that Carly agreed to the date.

"Does Sam know yet." She asked.

"Freddie said he was going to let her know. So when should I pick you up?" He asked; not grasping the Sam situation.

"I guess around four? But don't you think we should see if they're going to go first?" Carly asked.

Jennifer met up with David at the groovy Smoothie. They were talking and laughing, and enjoying their time together.

"Jennifer…can I ask you something?" He asked a little nervously.

"Sure…what is it?"

"I know we started off on the wrong foot, but I like you. Would you be willing to go out sometime?" He asked.

David liked Jennifer. Even though she did something that was pretty crumby, he still felt something for her. He didn't know why, but he just seemed drawn to her. Jennifer paused for a moment, thinking about what he just asked.

"He's cute; on the foot ball team, and he seems to be a nice guy." She thought to herself.

"Sure…when were you thinking?"

"How about tomorrow?" He asked; crossing his fingers under the table.

"I'd love to."

"Great…it's a date then." He said relieved that she was willing.

David and Jennifer spent about an hour talking afterwards, and then David walked her home. She was happy; for the first time, she had forgotten about Freddie, and focused her attention to her hopeful new boyfriend. Jennifer closed the door and went over all that had happened that day. She realized she had been pretty rotten to Freddie and Sam, and knew she needed to say something to them.

Sam told Freddie she needed to go home and check on her mom. But Sam wasn't being upfront with Freddie. Instead, what she was really going to do, was think of something she could do for Freddie, to show how much she appreciated him. Freddie walked her home, where they did a little make out session in front of the door to her house. Sam was too involved with Freddie to even notice her mom's car in driveway.

"See ya Fred Nerd." She said as she went inside to recoup from the moment.

"Later Princess Puckett." He said back as he turned to head back home. Sam went inside; closed the door, and rested against it for a moment. Sam was startled by the voice of her mom.

"Hey Samantha; getting pretty hot and heavy with your knew boy toy I see." She said as she walked into the living room and sat down on the couch.

"Mom…Really? Did you have to say that. It sounds gross when you say that." She yelled snapping at her mom in pure embarrassment.

"All I'm saying is…you look pretty serious. He better not knock you up, or he's going to get a visit from uncle Carmine."

"Mom! that's not going to happen, we're just…you know…" Her mom cut her off.

"In love. I saw the two of you. it's not hard to tell. Just don't do anything you're going to regret. Know what I mean?" Her mom said winking at her.

Sam walked out of the room without saying another word.

"Is it that obvious? Maybe it's cause I'm so excited to have someone who loves me for me that I can't stop my feelings from showing." She thought to herself wearing an uncontrollable smile on her face.

Just then Sam's phone rang in her pocket. Sam pulled it out, and looked at the caller ID. It was from Freddie. Sam pushed the answer button, and placed the phone up to her ear.

"Hey Fred weird…what's up?" She asked; feeling the excitement rise up in her again.

"I have to tell you something, but I don't want to do it over the phone. Can you meet me at the Groovy smoothie in let's say…15 minutes?" He asked.

"Um…sure. Is something wrong?" She asked.

"No…nothings wrong, just need to talk to you about something." He said.

"Okay…see you there." She said, and then hung up.

Sam quickly did her hair; changed her clothes, and headed out of her room to leave. When she was heading for the door, her mom stopped her.

"Where you going?"

"Out."

"To go see your new boy toy?" Her mom said with a smirk.

"Yes…and stop saying that. He's not my boy toy, he's my boyfriend."

"Whatever you say kiddo." Her mom said watching Sam run out the door.

When Sam arrived at the Groovy Smoothie, she saw Freddie sitting at one of the tables, looking anxious. Sam started feeling a little worried at the look he had on his face. But as she walked up, the worrying she had felt disappeared as she saw Freddie smiling at her. Sam pulled up a chair across from him and sat down.

"What's up Freddifer?" She asked, while pulling her hair behind her shoulders.

"It's about Gibby…"

"What about Gibby, did he get another atomic wedgie, because I have an alibi."

Freddie looked at her curiously; but continued.

"No…he asked me about Carly. He kind of likes her, and wanted to ask her out on a date."

"Omph…agh."

"What's the matter Sam? You okay?" Freddie asked concerned at the way she looked.

"Sorry, I almost threw up in my mouth." She said; quickly grabbing Freddie's smoothie and swigging it down.

"Well…yeah. The thing is, he wanted us to go with him; you know kind of a double date."

"Why would we do that? I can hardly think of those two together without wanting to vomit. I definitely don't want to witness it firsthand." She said still trying to get the picture out of her head.

"Listen, I don't even know if Carly agreed to it. So let me call her and find out. But I told him I would help; he has done a lot on icarly, and I think we should support him; even if we don't agree with it. And like I said. We don't even know if Carly said yes."

"Fine…but you owe me big for this Fred Bag."

"No problem…now let me call Carly and find out."

Freddie pulled the phone out of his pocket and dialed Carly's number.

"Hey Freddie…what's up?" She asked.

"Um…did Gibby ask you to go on a date with him?"

"Uh…yes, just about an hour ago."

"REALLY?" Freddie asked; shocked that Carly would even think about going out with him.

"Really. Does Sam know?" She asked scared to know the answer.

"Yes…and believe it or not, she agreed to go." He said looking over at Sam, who was now finishing off the rest of Freddie's smoothie.

Carly smiled. She didn't know how things were going to end up. But was hopeful they would except her and Gibby, if they ended up dating.
