Curve

"Gibby stand still!"

"But this stuff is so slimy!" Gibby moaned as Spencer covered him with paper mache.

"Umm…" Carly frowned as she came downstairs, staring at the scene. "What's going on down here?"

"I'm trying to be a good person and help Gibby make his mom a birthday present," Spencer said, wiping his goo-covered hands with a towel. "But he keeps squirming."

"Because you didn't tell me this would take so long! Its been three hours and we're not even halfway done!" Gibby defended.
"Wait, what kind of present are you trying to make your mom?" Carly asked.

"A paper mache model of me," Gibby told her. "So she can put it in our living room."

"Yeah…that's not creepy," Carly said, sitting down on the counter so she could use the computer.

"What are you doing on there?" Spencer asked. "I'm downloading a video of a snake eating a squirrel, so don't close any windows!"

"Relax, your gross snake video is fine," Carly laughed. "I just wanted to log onto Splashface for a little bit before Sam comes over to do this bit for iCarly."

"Um, Spence?" Gibby said as Spencer began to apply the paper mache to his neck. "How exactly are you gonna get me out of this once it dries?"

"Oh, see, I'm gonna cut a whole in the bottom of it and then we can just lift the dried sculpture right off you," Spencer explained. "Which is why you have to hold your arms straight up! You can't keep curving them."

"You expect me to hold my arms like this until this thing dries?" Gibby exclaimed.

"It will be good exercise!"

"Hey," Carly said, looking at the computer monitor. "Look at this cute picture Sam posted of her and Freddie."

She turned the monitor so Spencer and Gibby could see the picture. The two were sitting on Sam's sofa, laughing and holding hands as Freddie kissed her nose.

"Aw," Spencer smiled. "How sweet."

"I thought Sam wasn't a big fan of those 'couple pictures' everyone posts on Splashface of them and their boyfriend, but I guess she had a change of heart," Carly said. "She even put a caption on it 'Only nub in the world who can make me smile like this. Don't know what I'd do without him'. Aw! Isn't that adorable."

"Sam wrote that?" Gibby frowned.

"Yeah, you sure it wasn't aliens or someone?" Spencer asked.

"Okay, yeah, it does sort of sound un-Samish," Carly admitted. "But I think it's nice. I mean, when Sam and Freddie first started going out, Freddie had to practically beg her to change her status from single to 'in a relationship' on here. I think this means that she's really beginning to mature enough not to be afraid of what other people think about her feelings. And it looks like a lot of people are having my same reaction; nearly fifty people have liked the picture. You know, I think she should go ahead and make this her profile pic. It's really good."

"You see? Now why couldn't you have been this supportive of the picture I put on Splashface last week?" Gibby asked.

"Because that picture has made me unable to look at overalls the same way!" Carly said, shuddering.

"Hey," Sam said, walking into the apartment. She frowned, looking at Spencer and Gibby. "What are you clowns doing?"

"I'm gonna give my mom a Gibby sculpture for her birthday," Gibby said.

"I'd hit that sculpture with a hammer," Sam said. She turned to Carly. "So we ready to shoot that Peppy Cola thing for iCarly? I brought the sparklers."

"Yeah, sure," Carly nodded.

"Just let me check my Splashface account first," Sam said. "My phone keeps telling me I have a bunch of notifications from it, but it won't let me log onto the site. Maybe my penguin on Articville finally managed to get enough ice cubes to start his Sno-Cone factory!"

"Nah, it's probably just all the people who liked that picture you put up this morning," Carly told her. "Very cute, by the way. Remind me to print it out and I can frame it in that sparkly purple frame I got from Glitter Gloss. It would look nice on your dresser."

"What picture?" Sam frowned. "I didn't upload any picture this morning."

"Yeah you did, I just saw it," Carly told her. "The one of you and Freddie all snugly on your couch."

"Pfft, I definitely didn't upload any picture of Fredbag and me," Sam laughed. "Come on, you know how much I hate those chicks who sit there and plaster their profiles with gushy pics of their boyfriends."

"Oh really? Then explain this, Puckett," Carly said, pulling the picture up.

"What?" Sam exclaimed, her eyes widening at the picture. "I-I have no idea how that got on the Internet."

"See, I told you there was no way Sam wrote that caption!" Gibby said.

"Caption?" Sam repeated, looking closer at the picture. "Aw man!"

"Wait, so you're saying someone took that picture of you and Freddie in your house," Carly frowned. "And then uploaded it on your Splashface account without you knowing? And added a sappy caption?"

"Whoa, that's pretty serious," Spencer said. "Maybe you should call someone about that…"

"No," Sam mumbled. "I-I did take the picture…And write the caption. But it wasn't supposed to go up on Splashface! It was just supposed to go in my own private album on my phone."

"You must've accidently turned on that feature on your phone that automatically uploads all your pictures to your Splashface account," Carly told her.

"Well, whatever, I'm taking this down," Sam said firmly.

"Oh come on, it's not that big of a deal, everyone thought it was really adorable," Carly said. "Is it really so bad that people see how happy you and Freddie are together."

"Yes!"

"Hey, I thought I heard you over here, Sam," Freddie said, smirking, as he let himself into the apartment. "You know, there's nothing I like better than waking up to a bunch of Splashface notifications of people telling me how precious me and my girlfriend look in the picture she just uploaded of us."

"Shut up!" Sam snapped. "My phone did that on its own by accident."

"I figured," Freddie chuckled, giving her a quick kiss.

"Don't worry, I'm taking it down now," Sam said.

"Oh, you are?" Freddie said, sounding disappointed. "Why?"

"Um, do you want me to keep it up?" Sam frowned.

"Well I just thought it was a nice picture of us," Freddie shrugged. "And we don't have too many of us on Splashface…But it's up to you, baby. You can take it down if you want."

He turned to Spencer. "Hey, I need to show you this really cool Cloak of Doom I just got on World of Warlords really quick before I go set up the cameras for the iCarly bit we're doing today."

"You traded your Staff of Sincerity?" Spencer gasped.

"Nope, I got it for three Flundernut feathers and a Dorkin," Freddie said proudly.

"You jest!" Spencer said excitedly. "You care if we use your big screen in your room, Carly?"

"Actually, I-"

"Thanks!" Spencer yelled as him and Freddie ran upstairs.

"Yeah, but they make fun of me for being excited when my shoe catalogues come in the mail," Carly said, rolling her eyes.

"Yeah, because the 180 pairs of shoes in your closet are really getting lonely," Sam chuckled. "Come on, we should go set everything up in the studio."

"Okay, but I thought you were gonna take down that picture first," Carly said.

Sam shrugged. "Eh…I guess it's not that bad."
