Chapter 25: The day before Prom
[SAM'S POV]
It's been two weeks since the meeting and I swear I have never been this stressed out!
Every day, we meet at Carly's place along with the Prom committee to discuss the games that we're going to do. Ugh, my brain is absolutely fried from thinking too hard.
Right now, we are in the iCarly studio. And by we, I mean Me, Fredbag and Gibby. Carly's down stairs planning alongside with Wendy and the prom committee.
Every fifteen minutes, she comes up here and discuss about iCarly and when the time is up, she goes back down again for another fifteen minutes. Basically, she runs up and down the stairs to divide her time between iCarly and the committee.
''Okay, how about the baby Spencer bit?'' Gibby suggested.
''Gib, you really want Spencer to be part of our prom?'' I asked.
''Oh, riiight.'' He said.
Freddie sighed. ''Ugh, got any more ideas?''
''We've already thought of every bit we did! And even other skits!'' Gibby exclaimed.
''Well, what about new ones?'' I suggested.
''New ones?'' They asked in unison.
''No, the old ones.'' I said sarcastically. ''Didn't I just say new ones?''
''Well, what kind of new ones?'' Gibby asked.
''I dunno. Let us think, shall we?'' I exclaimed.
Suddenly, Carly burst inside the studio.
''Hey guys! What's happening? How's the skits? Are they going well? How are the games?'' She started throwing questions without even breathing for one second.
I stood up and calmed her. ''Chill, Carly girl!''
''I can't chill Sam! Prom is in two days! And we haven't have enough games and skits to keep the audience and the viewers at ease!'' She exclaimed.
''Look,'' I started as I soothed her. ''Leave iCarly to us. Just concentrate on the planning.''
''What?'' Both Frednub and Gibson screeched in unison.
''Are you sure you all can handle it?'' Carly asked. ''The boys aren't in on that idea.''
I sighed as I grabbed her shoulders and made her look at me.
''Carls, I'm your co-host. Don't you trust me?'' I asked.
''Of course I trust you, Sam! You have the craziest ideas known to man!'' She laughed. ''It's them that I'm worried about.''
I chuckled as she pointed at the two baboons sitting on the beanbags, looking at us.
''I'll man-handle the dorks. You handle the decorating team. Got it?''
She sighed as I pushed her out of the studio. ''Okay, Sam.''
I closed the door and plopped down on the beanbags.
''Sam, what was that?'' Freddie asked. ''We can't do this!''
I sighed as I just keep writing what comes into my brain.
''What are you even doing?'' Gibby asked.
''Probably doodling, I guess.'' Freddie mumbled.
And with that, I exploded. ''WILL YOU TWO SHUT YOUR MOUTH! CAN'T YOU SEE I'M WRITING! GAH!''
Freddie and Gibby were wide eyed as they nodded slowly and shut their trap. Thank Ham!
After a couple minutes of silence, I was done. I stretched and stood up on the beanbag.
''Sam, come on. We've got to work on the whole iCarly show. And it's already eleven.'' I heard Freddie said as I was walking around the studio to get rid of the cramps.
''Check the yellow pad, Freddifer.'' I simply said.
He sighed as I heard him flip through the pages.
''Oh My God!'' Gibby said. ''You finished writing the entire show in less than and hour?''
I just shrugged as I sat back down, with them both staring at me. ''What?''
''It's just that,'' Freddie started. ''You're the laziest person that we know''
''Yeah!'' Gibby agreed. ''But you did the undidable!''
''Undidable?'' I laughed.
''Is that even a word, Gib?'' Freddie asked.
''It is now!'' He said.
''Okay?'' I said, unsurely.
Freddie stood up and hugged me.
''Wow! What the chiz?''
''Just my way of saying you're an awesome girlfriend!'' He smirked.
''Yeah, yeah.'' I said as he kissed me on the cheek.
''Sam, come on!'' Carly yelled as she was waiting for me by our locker.
''What's the rush, Shay?''
''It's Friday!''
''And? You wanna sing the Friday song by that tone-death llama?''
''What? No!'' She chuckled.
''Then what?'' I asked.
''You forgot, didn't you?'' She said as she was dragging me out of the door.
''Just spit it out, Shay!''
''You promised we'll pick dresses today!''
Oh, crap! This is the day I'm dreading to come. Why, oh why must this day come? Can someone please save me from this soon to be nightmare? HELLO? ANYBODY? PLEASE?
''Ugh!'' I groaned. ''Caaaaarlyyyy! I don't waaaannaaaa!''
''Sam, you have to!''
''No I don't! I don't need a stupid dress to go to a stinkin' prom!''
''Sam,'' She sighed. ''I know you hate dresses. But you can't just wear a shirt and a pair of jeans. It's a formal affair. Please, do it for me.''
''NO!'' I exclaimed. ''There is no way in hell-''
''If not for me then, do it for Freddie.''
Oh, boy. I'm going to regret going to this thing. I sighed as I looked at her face. She was already giving me her signature puppy dog pout. God, I can't resist that face!
''Ugh! Fine.'' I grumbled.
''Yay!'' She cheered. And thank you for your hard work on finishing iCarly!''
''Wait, how'd you-''
''Gibby told me.'' She smiled as I chuckled.
I laughed. ''What is up with you and Gibson, anyway?''
She blushed. ''W-What? What are y-you talking about?''
''Psh, like you don't know!'' I teased her. ''You like him, don't ya?''
''You're insane, Sam.''
''And you're a bad liar.'' I pointed out. ''I'm not blind to see you've got a thing for him.''
''Ooh, the mall! We're here!'' She said as she dragged me inside.
''Carls! Slow down, will you?'' I exclaimed as she dragged me to a store.
''Ooh, how pretty!'' She said as she ran towards the pile of dresses.
I sighed as I started to scan for a dress to wear tomorrow.
''Find anything you like, Sam?'' I looked up to see Carly covered in frilly dresses.
''WOW!'' I exclaimed. ''Not more than a minute and you already have a pile at hand?''
She giggled as she balanced the dresses. ''Um, can you help me pick one?''
I laughed as I pushed her towards the dressing room.
''Okay, just sit there.'' She ordered as I sat down.
Five minutes had passed and she opened the door, revealing herself in a blue dress. It has a dark shade of blue at the top and a light shade from the waist down with a frilly lace covering the skirt part that goes just above her knees. It has a V neck, revealing just enough cleavage.
''So, what do you think?'' She asked as she did a little twirl.
''Meh, it's alright but not your style.'' I said.
She looked herself in the mirror and frowned. ''You're right. It doesn't suit me at all.''
And with that, she marched right back inside the fitting room.
The second dress was way off for her. She opened the door, revealing herself in a short sleeve, plain blue dress that was just the same height as the one before.
''So?'' She asked. ''What do you think? Too plain, right?''
''Very plain.'' She sighed as she once again stride inside the small room.
The third one was just plain ridiculous. She opened the door absolutely wearing a long sleeve dress with a turtleneck. Its design was a horizontal zigzag with different shades of pink, purple and sky blue colors.
She looked at me with much discomfort as I restrained to laugh.
''Too retro'' I said, sending her once again inside the room.
The fourth one was just as ridiculous as before. Let's just say, she looked more like a toddler to me. There she stood, in a plaid dress with matching belt hooked behind her. With her standing there, I lost it. You know what I did? I laughed my ass off.
''Can you stop laughing and tell me what do you think about this one?'' Carly said, annoyed.
''You look like a toddler, Carls.'' I said and laughed again.
''Ugh, this is just great!'' She grumbled as she went inside the changing room again.
The fifth one was rather bright. No, seriously. It was a plain, very long sleeved orange dress with a turtle neck. She huffed as she gave me a questioned look.
''Too big for you, literally! Your hands aren't even visible anymore, Carls.'' I said.
With a long sigh, she retreated back inside.
I was almost asleep when Carly walked out.
''What about this, Sam?'' She asked as I slowly opened my eyes.
''Wow,'' I said, rather speechless. ''You look awesome, Carly! Just, totally gorgeous.''
''You really think so?'' She said as she looked herself in the mirror.
She was wearing a ladies' green polka dot cocktail dress with a balloon skirt. It was PERFECT for her!
''I don't think,'' I started. ''I know!'' I grinned at her as she smiled.
''Okay! I'll get dressed while you pick a dress. GO!'' She said as she pushed me towards the stacks of dresses.
''Ugh. Stupid prom night.'' I mumbled as I picked out at least, six dresses.
''You done?'' She asked as she stepped outside of the room wearing her casual attire.
''Yeah.''
''Good! Now, go and try them on!'' She said as I huffed.
The first dress that I wore was a green dress with sequins on top and a green frilly skirt with a dash of pink. It stopped in between my mid thighs and I swear, I'm almost naked.
''Come out and let me see it, Sammy!'' She exclaimed.
With a sigh, I emerged from the room with a bored expression.
''Hmm, it's too plain. Next one! '' She said.
The second dress was the same as the last one but it's in tangerine. I stepped out of the dressing room and revealed myself.
''Isn't that like the last one but with a different color?''
''Yup.'' I said, popping the 'p' for effect.
''Hmmm... Nope. NEXT!'' She exclaimed.
The third one was a still the same as the other two but in white. It's pretty cute, actually. The white frilly skirt with a dash of pink, it's nice. I walked out of the door and divulge myself for Carly to see.
''It's really pretty on you.'' She smiled.
''So, this is it then?'' I asked.
She examined me again and shook her head. ''It doesn't scream the perfect one for you. Try another.''
I groaned as I again, locked myself inside the tiny room. The next dress was almost the same as the last three but it's in the color blue with a blue flower on the middle of the blue belt. I once again came out of hiding.
''Hmm, nope.'' She said. ''Try another one.''
''There's only one left. If it's not good, then I'm picking the white one.'' I said as Carly nodded.
After a couple of minutes, I emerge myself from the room. I noticed Carly's eyes went wide as she saw me stepped out. She let out a gasp and covered her mouth with her hand.
''.God.'' She muttered.
''What? Is it bad?'' I asked a little conscious about the dress that I'm wearing.
It was a ladies' violet and black cocktail dress with diagonal flounces. I actually liked the dress. It's rock-ish and my type of style. It would look good on a pair of leggings and my combat boots.
''IT'S PERFECT, SAM!'' She exclaimed as she eyed me up and down. ''You look absolutely stunning on that dress! I'm sure Freddie will go weak on his knees!''
I laughed. ''And yours will make Gibson dance without his shirt on.'' I said as she blushed.
''Come on. Go and change and we'll buy the dresses.''
''Alrighty then!'' I smiled as I walked inside the fitting room for the very last time.
AND, IT'S DONE! WOOHOO! WOW! What a chapter. You don't know how hard it was to find a dress for the cast. It was actually really tiring.
