Chapter 28

Hola! I am back! A hello to my twitter friends, you know who you are! Ok, I know not many people care, but the reason I was fangirling on the way back from theatre fest was the people in front of me went from playing a game of "Truth or Dare" to "Make-out Fest". I did not participate. Anyway, in this chapter I am including a parody of "The Ballad of Sam and Freddie" (written by eleanorr1gby, first published 8/3/11). Why? I have no idea. I'm not going to force you to read it (mostly because it's rated M, and I'm pretty sure a few of you on here are 12), but I am going to say I liked the plot. Keep in mind, if you have read it, that Carly is...prude, ok, I kinda am too, but not as much as she would be. :p This chapter is kind of a filler…but next chapter I am going to have a little fun with.

"OKAY, FINE! THEN CAN I WEAR THIS?" Claire heard from her spot on the couch. Carly and Spencer had been arguing over outfit choices for the past TWO hours, and it was beginning to get entertaining. Claire then heard Spencer saying something, but it was muffled so she could not make out what he was saying. Three minutes later Spencer came back down the stairs again.

"She found her outfit." He announced, and then walked into his room.

Okay, then. She turned when she heard Carly coming down the stairs. "Hey…you look very pretty."

Carly wore a light pink t-shirt that had tiny jewels all over it, and a jean skirt that went down just past her knees. So that's what all that arguing must have been about.

"Thanks! I think the skirt is a bit too long, but hey, whatever." She looked at her watch. "It's almost four. I need to go do my hair now."

"Okay, have…fun with that."

Claire opened her phone and began typing on her Flitter page. She had a lot of messages, most congratulating her on her great job she had done with the wedding. She smiled. I love life.

By the time she was done answering all her messages, Carly had come back down and was ready to go.

"Hey, do you mind if I stay here while you're out? My mom is at home preparing for a family reunion tonight, and I really don't want to go home and help her."

"Sure. The fire extinguisher is right over there if you or Spencer need it."

"Okay, and remember bowtie man!"

"Got it. Bowtie-what?"

"Bowtie man. Bowtie man never does anything stupid."

"Oh. Okay. Bye." Carly closed the door behind her, a confused look on her face.

(A/N: Bowtie man: :)8 Awesome, right?)


"Okay," Brad said, laughing so hard he could barely breathe. "So…your brother…lit your METAL Christmas tree on fire?"

"Yeah."

"How?"

"Long, confusing story."

"What else has your brother lit on fire?"

"Can you give me a minute? I need to think about this." By now they were both laughing. Patrons of the Groovy Smoothie stared at them as if they were insane.

"Hey!" T-bo yelled from his place behind the counter. "You want to buy pudding on a stick?"

"No!" Carly answered.

"How did he get…"

"No one knows."

"I have magical voodoo powers!" T-bo answered.

"I bow down to you, voodoo master!"

Carly laughed. Brad was hilarious. How in the world did she get a guy like this?

Carly checked her phone. "Oh, it's six o' clock. I told Spencer I would be home in fifteen minutes. I have to go. I'm sorry."

"That's okay; I gotta be home soon too. Can we do this again?"

"Definitely." She pushed the door open and walked out.


As Carly walked toward her front door, she noticed a note on it.

"Carly, went to take a nap. Probably won't wake up until tomorrow. Please be quiet, and be good. Leave a note if you plan on going out tonight. Love, Spencer." (A/N: Made an actual note from Spencer. On my photobucket account. :p)

Oh, all righty then. She turned the key in the lock and went inside.

Carly went over to her computer to check her email. Spam, spam, spam. She thought as she scrolled down. Message from Freddie. This should be entertaining.

"Hi Carly, How are things at home? Things here are, well, let's just say due to a squabble between Sam and the water park mascot, we are now under hotel room arrest for the next 18 hours. See you soon, Freddie

Carly, this is Sam. I just don't get it! I mean, he was handing out balloon! What, did he expect me to pay for it? Who brings money into a water park anyway? Tomorrow, that dolphin is GOING DOWN! Luv, Sam

PS. 17 HOURS 54 MINUTES 39 SECONDS!"

I was right. That was entertaining. Spam, spam, spam…Oh. A message from Wendy. I wonder what this is about. She clicked on the message.

"Carly, was looking online 1 day and found this. Did you know people write stories about your show? Well, they do and I thought this one was cute and I wanted to share. Happy reading!

Talk to you soon, Wendy"

Hmm... "The Song of Freddie and Sam." Sounds cute. She clicked on the link and began reading.

She was still reading when Claire woke up from her nap. "Hey what are you doing?" she asked, walking over to Carly at the computer.

"Reading a story about Freddie and Sam that my friend sent me."

"Oh cool can I read it with you?"

"Yeah, sure." she said as she clicked the link to the next chapter.

Carly and Claire read silently. About halfway through the chapter both sets of eyes widened. As soon as the chapter was over, Carly clicked the little red x in the corner.

"Well that was..."

"Really descriptive."

"Yep…"

"Omigosh I have to get home!" Claire said as she noticed the little time box in the corner of the monitor.

"Why?"

"It's my sister Jane's birthday and we're having a get-together so we can celebrate."

"Oh, can I come?"

"…Why?"

"Because it sounds like fun! And Spencer's going to asleep for the rest of the night anyway."

"Well, okay I guess…" she responded, putting on her jacket.

"Yay!" she said as she jotted down a quick note to Spencer. "So, who's going to be there?"

"My parents and all my brothers and sisters."

"How many of you are there?"

Claire laughed. "Let's put it this way: If my parents had a few more kids, we'd beat the Duggars." She said as she opened the door and stepped out into the hallway.

"The who?"

A/N: And, scene! I will assume everyone knows who the Duggars are. Everyone except Carly, that is. :D I loved writing this. I laughed at my own joke. Lame, I know. But it was funny! A quick story: I was texting Lauryn (my unofficial beta. She's mine, you can't have her. :D) and was saying how in the situation I was in I was acting like the drunk girl who loves the sound of her own voice and talks to fill the awkward silences, and her response was "HAHAHAHAHAHA omg that's true :D" WHAT THE HECK IS THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN? lol She's awesome. Been helping me for 15 chapters (I think) so SHE CAN'T LEAVE! :p Review, if you want to, and see you next time! :)
