It was now 24th July. The iCarly trio were all on the beach, celebrating Carly's birthday. Time had gone quick for the crew, but Missy said she had some devastating news for them. She was going to tell them at the beach party – no, she hadn't been invited, but she had invited herself. That was ok with them through – the more the merrier, right?
The party had been going on for a while, and it was now dying down. Not that there was many there, but Olivia had left – Tom had been sick – so that was two down.
Carly, Sam and Freddie were sat by the water, and soon enough Missy came up to them. "Hey!" She said, way too sweetly.
"Hi." Carly said.
"I just wanted to tell you the news…"
"You're leaving? That's great! BYE!"
"No, well, yes. My dad got a job in Australia, so we're moving there."
"You're moving to Australia?"
"Yeah!"
"What job did he get?"
"I don't know."
"Okay then.."
"SO, I just wanted to say bye. And I'm sorry, for all the things I did. Carly, I hope we can stay in touch. I'm sorry for Chris, and Olivia, and the kitten, I mean, I'm really sorry. And Sam and Freddie, you guys, I was wrong. You make a great couple, and I hope you have a great future together. Carly, you are lucky to have great, loyal, friends." She said, and the gang could tell, from her tone, that she was serious as each one locked eyes with her, they could see genuine sorry. Each one was speechless.
"I-"
"You don't need to say anything. Is there anything I can do to help you forgive me?"
Then, Carly had an idea.
"I don't know, but there is something you could do for us. It would help us, and help you remember us, and the cruise."
"What?" Missy asked.
"Samedi. Do you want a new kitten?"
"Wait- You want to give the cat to me? After all I did to you?"
"It would be helpful. Spencer's terrified."
"Then sure!"
"Do we get a say in this?" Asked Sam.
"Nope. Come on, we know none of us could have the kitten!"
"Then could we at least say goodbye?"
"Sure." Missy said. "I'm leaving tomorrow. You have one night before I'm gone."
"I can't believe I'm gonna say this." Sam said. "But I think I'm gonna miss you."
"Me too." Freddie said.
" Though you caused us all a lot of pain." Sam admitted.
"Bye little Samedi!" Sam cuddled the kitten.
"Hey Sam," Freddie said.
"Yeah?" She looked up.
"Let me take a photo!" He said. He pulled the digital camera out of his front pocket and aimed it at Sam; she smiled, holding the kitten in front of her. Once he had took a photo, Carly came through, They took numerous photos of the crew and the kitten – Sam and the Samedi, Freddie and Samedi, Carly and Samedi, Sam, Carly and Samedi, Freddie, Sam and Samedi, and lastly all of them together – Spencer took it. He didn't want a photo of him and the kitten. Apparently it would give him nightmares in the future.
SO, they all said goodbye to the girl who had previously caused them all pain, and said goodbye to the kitten too – the kitten which had caused them all so much trouble. But it was gone now, and so was Carly's birthday.
They just hung around in the cabin for the rest of the day really – doing nothing in particular. "So are you guys still together?" Asked Carly.
"Huh?"
"I mean, now that Missy has gone, you're still together, right?"
"No." Sam and Freddie both said quickly.
"But whyyyyy?" Carly whined.
"Because, that was an act." Freddie said.
"Phhhht, yeah, it's not like I actually like the nub."
"But guys!"
"No."
"You are so annoying!" Carly whined. She stomped her foot, then walked over to the bedroom where she sat on the bed and thought. Seddie would happen by the end of this cruise, it just had to. And is she had something to do with it – It would.
That's it.
Missy was gone.
Then again, so was Samedi.
They'll miss that ball of fluff.
But, normalness will be restored – well, as normal as it can get anyway.
There was one week left now – then it was all gone.
Bye Bye cruise.
In seven days, anyway.
And Carly had those seven days to get Sam and Freddie together. For good.
