"Sam, this is like the tenth fight we've watched," Carly moaned.

"Come on, tell me you're not enjoying watching Max Heagen punch the chiz out of Kito Rae," Sam said, sitting at the edge of her seat, her eyes glued to the T.V.

"I'm not enjoying it," Carly said, rolling her eyes. "You happy?"

"Yeah! Use the chair! Use the chair!"

"You know," Carly sighed. "Usually at sleepovers, girls do things like braid each others hair, gossip, paint nails, eat junk food, play-"

"Hey, I'm eating plenty of junk food," Sam defended.

"Yes, I'm very proud of you," Carly laughed getting up.

"Where you going?" Sam asked, still not taking her eyes off the screen.

"To surf the web," Carly replied. "I can't watch another guy get thrown twenty feet into the air."

Carly sat down at the counter and pulled up the iCarly site and began browsing through the comments. She clicked through them until she found one that was particularly interesting…

"Hey, Sam," Carly said. "Come see this."

"What?" Sam asked, walking over. "A new fight's about to begin in two minutes!"

"Look at this website someone linked to us from iCarly," she said, clicking on the link. "It's an entire site dedicated to yours and Freddie's relationship!"

"Dude, how creepy is this," Sam said, grabbing the mouse from her best friend. "How does this person even have these pictures?"

"Maybe you two have a secret admirer-type person following you."

"You mean a stalker?" Sam frowned.

"Come on, I don't think whoever this is means any harm," Carly assured her. "Look, most of these are just downloaded from our site."

"It's still creepy," Sam insisted. "Why are people so obsessed with the fact that I'm dating Freddie? Yes, we all get that I probably have some weird brain disorder for doing so, but just get over it!"

"It looks like there's a lot about you and Freddie on the web," Carly said. "I found a few things last weekend too."

"Like what?"

"People wrote stories about you two."

"What sort of stories? Can I see?"

"No…they're icky."

"Ugh, this is ridiculous," Sam exclaimed, pulling out her pearphone. "I'm seeing if Freddie can shut these sites down or something."

"Why? They're sweet!"

"Sweet?" Sam repeated. "So if people you didn't even know plastered you and some guy's pictures all over the Internet you'd think it was sweet?"

"Well, kind of, if this guy was my boyfriend," Carly shrugged. "I mean, what harm is it to-"

"Carly," Sam said. "Did you make these websites?"
Carly avoided her eye contact. "You know, it's supposed to rain today, maybe we should-"

"Carly!"

"Okay, yes, fine," Carly admitted. "I made the websites. But I did not write those stories!"

"Why'd you do that?" Sam asked.

"I don't know, I was bored," Carly said. "But I guess if you really don't like them I'll-"

"Well," Sam sighed. "Whatever. Keep it up."

"Really?" Carly grinned.

"Sure," Sam shrugged. "I mean, I was just kind of weirded out by the idea of some random dude snapping pics of me and Freddie. Besides, it's not like that many people are going to see it. How many hits have you gotten so far?'

"Um, like 800…"

"800?" Sam exclaimed. "Already? Dude that's-"

"Er, you may want to add a thousand after that."

"800,000?" Sam cried. "800,000 people already viewed your stupid site?"

"What can I say?" Carly offered weakly. "You and Freddie make a really cute couple."
