OnWARDS with chapter 11! I can't believe that I am up to that number already; I haven't even been writing that long.
I might have to update this tomorrow as our internet has stuffed up tonight.
I really hope you are all enjoying the story as much as I am writing it (I am enjoying it a lot just in case you were wondering).
Thanks to everyone who has reviewed and/or read this story up to this point.
NB: we are back to Carly's point of view in this chapter. And also the whacks are Sam hitting Freddie with a pillow.
Disclaimer: I do not own iCarly. If I did then Operation Buckett (or Operation get Sam and Freddie together) would have succeeded already on the show.
We have hit a dead end. It's Friday night and I am slightly depressed. All this hard work and still they haven't admitted their feelings for each other. I was sure by now that something would have happened. But alas, no. We have Sam's evidence but not Freddie's. She'll never admit it though; it goes back to what Freddie said about her pride thing. He does know her well.
They fight, they bicker and yet they are perfect for each other. I am positive they like each other. Too bad they are both too stubborn to admit it. Don't you just hate stubborn people?
I need some help. Some help from someone that has been out Freddie. Too bad he still hasn't had his first kiss....WAIT he kissed Melanie. Maybe she could help me? It's worth a shot.
I pick up the phone and dial Melanie's cell phone number, she is probably studying or something but I will leave a message if she's not there.
"Hello this is Melanie Puckett. I'm not here right now but please leave a message and I will get back just as soon as I can. Thanks." Her answer phone said in her high pitched voice. I can't believe her and Sam are related, Sam's answer phone is 'Don't bother calling back unless you want to end up in hospital, have ham or are Carly.' I makes me feel kind of special though.
"Hey Melanie," I say into my pearphone. "It's Carly. I was wondering if you could give me a call when you're free. Thanks heaps!" Then I hang up.
Since Melanie isn't at her phone I put some popcorn in the microwave and pop a girly cow DVD in the DVD player. That was one of the only good things about our obsessed number 1 fan Mandy; she bought Sam the entire Girly Cow series on DVD, which Sam of course leaves at our house.
As I sat down on the couch with my buttery popcorn (I would usually have un-buttered but since I am in a bad mood I decided that butter was a necessity) my phone rang. I stood up really fast and all the popcorn fell to the ground. Oh well.
"Hello, this is Carly Shay." I said eagerly into the phone.
"Wow someone's an eager beaver" Someone said into the phone which can only be Melanie. I have never heard anyone else say eager beaver, well I think Freddie has said it but this is a girl's voice so it can't be Freddie. Unless he had a gender change, I don't think he has though.
"Hey Melanie!" I said excitedly, I was practically beaming down the phone. "How are you?"
"I'm sunshiny!" See what I mean? Stuff like this can only be said by Melanie. "How about you?"
"Not to good actually. You see I am trying to get two of my friends together but they are both really stubborn. Do you still like Freddie?" I asked her at the end because I was definitely not going to say anything about Sam and Freddie if she still liked him.
"Sam and Freddie?" she questioned. "I like Freddie, but not like like. And not anywhere near as much as Sam likes him."
"Yes and that's good. I would feel weird asking you for help if you still liked him." I told her. "Anyway I wanted to ask you about your date with Freddie. What happened?"
"Well we arrived at the place, I can't remember what it is called and Freddie went to get us drinks and I sat down. Then he came over and he had empty glasses in his hands. It was a bit strange but anyway. He thought I was Sam and kept going on about how I supposedly hated him. He said that I looked pretty hot and I said he looked pretty cute, then he said and I quote 'how can you say that without wanting to puke?' Then he asked me to dance. He still thought I was Sam. Then we were slow dancing and I said that I really liked him and he said that I hated him (well Sam hated him) and that I always had. He had a kind of glum look as he said it. Anyway then I said would Sam do this and I kissed him. Then he said something along the lines of 'you swore we'd never do this again.' I didn't really understand what he meant. And then he ran away and that was kind of the end of the date." She said this very fast and I only just caught up.
"What did he mean 'you swore we'd never do this again.' As far as I'm aware of Sam and Freddie have never been on a date, slow danced or ki....OMG THEY MUST OF KISSED!" I practically screamed down the phone. I was excitedly dancing around screaming things like "Oh ! This is the BEST! WOAH! Wowey! This is AMAZING!"
"Calm down Carly, you'll damage your lungs." Melanie said at the end of the phone. As she said this I was strongly reminded of Mrs Benson. There was no way Mrs Benson would have had a problem with Freddie dating Melanie; she was probably like Mrs Benson's ideal daughter in law. Straight A's, nice, pretty, worries about people's health and she liked him.
"Sorry Melanie I am just really really excited. MY BEST FRIENDS KISSED!" I screamed the last for words just as the door opened. Freddie stood there, shock and horror was written on his face. "Sorry Melanie I have to go." And then I hung up.
"What did you want Freddie?" I asked happily. He was still standing there, his mouth open. His eyes were bulging; they looked like they were going to pop out of his face.
"Um. Well. I came over to borrow some glue, my mum thinks it's too dangerous and I might glue myself to something. But who were you talking to on the phone?" Freddie said the first bit rather hurriedly and then slowed down for the last sentence.
"Melanie and sure you can borrow the glue." I told him.
"You mean Sam?" he said.
"No Freddie I mean Melanie!" I said, he still didn't believe that Sam had a twin sister.
"Look Carly, I am not that gullible. I know there is no Melanie and Sam even admitted she made her up." Freddie told me.
"Look Freddie," I said imitating him. "Sam has a twin sister, her name is Melanie and she goes to boarding school. I'll bring up the school website and show you."
I went over to the computer and looked up Melanie's boarding school on Blackle (the new environmentally search engine that everyone should use).
"Look there she is!" I showed him a picture of Melanie, she was on the front of the school website she was accepting an award for something. She looked exactly like Sam except Sam would never be up on stage excepting an award.
"Oh. So she does have a twin." Freddie said. He looked kind of defeated.
"Yes and you kissed MELANIE that night and Sam sometime before that." I told him. His look of shock and horror was back, with the eyes and the mouth and stuff.
"What? Huh? Pffff..." he said.
"I know you did Freddie." I said.
"What did the dork do now?" Sam said as she barged into the apartment and she grabbed a bowl of chilli from the fridge and turned around to face me and Freddie.
"Kiss you." I said simply. The bowl of chilli dropped to the ground.
"YOU TOLD HER!" Sam screeched and ran towards Freddie and tackled him to the ground. She got a pillow and started whacking him.
"You...whack....swore...whack....you'd.....whack.....never.....whack....tell....whack....anyone..." she screamed as she hit him with the pillow.
"Sam...ow...I...ow...never....ow...told...ow...anyone...ow....STOP HITTING ME!" Freddie said as he got out from under Sam. "I THOUGHT YOU MUST OF!" he shouted.
"I DID NO SUCH THING!" Sam yelled back.
"STOP STOP STOP!" I yelled louder. They both froze. "Neither of you told me."
"Then how did you know?" They both said at the same time, and then they glared at each other.
"It was something Melanie said." I told them.
"YOU TOLD YOUR SISTER!" Freddie shouted at Sam. "WE SWORE WE WOULDN'T TELL ANYONE! That includes identical twin sisters!"
"I never told Melanie anything." Sam said. She had stopped shouting; she just continued to glare at Freddie. If I didn't know any better I would have said she loathed him. But there it is; the fine line between love and hate.
"Melanie didn't tell me. I guessed. Well I was pretty sure it was fact. More of an educated guess. Melanie told me that you" I pointed at Freddie "said on your date with her after she kissed you 'you swore we'd never do that again.' I thought it must mean that you had kissed Sam since you thought Melanie was Sam in disguise."
"So it's YOUR fault Benson!" Sam said with a raised voice, she wasn't shouting but she was pretty close.
"I thought she was you Puckett, so it's not my fault. It's YOUR fault for making me believe that you have a twin sister!"
"You were trying to be too un-gullible! I told you that I did have a twin sister but you didn't believe me! So it's YOUR fault!"
"IT'S BOTH OF YOUR FAULTS! YOU GUYS DECIDED NOT TO TELL ANYONE BUT YOU GUYS HAVE SO MUCH CHEMISTRY AND IT IS SO IN YOUR FACE OBVIOUS THAT YOU LIKE EACH OTHER THAT IT WAS BOUND TO COME OUT ANYWAY!!! YOU GUYS ARE BOTH TOO STUBBORN AND HAVE WAY TO MUCH PRIDE TO ADMIT THAT YOU," I pointed at Sam "COULD LOVE A DORK AND YOU," I pointed at Freddie "COULD LOVE SOMEONE THAT PICKS ON YOU ALL THE TIME! WELL I AM SICK OF IT! CAN'T YOU JUST ADMIT YOU LIKE EACH OTHER AND WE CAN GO BACK ONTO HAVING NORMAL LIVES!!!" I screamed over the top of them at the top of my lungs. I then stormed out of the room, for emphasis of course.
Operation Buckett: blew up. Sorry about that guys. I just couldn't keep it in.
Author's Note: I was going to have quite a few more chapters but while writing this chapter I realised I could finish it really well soon. So I will probably only have one chapter after this. Maybe two. It all depends on what happens and how much detail I put in.
I loved bringing in Melanie and Sam and Freddie's first kiss. I feel that WHEN (I say when not if because I am a strong believer that it will happen) Sam and Freddie get together these things should be drawn in. I have a feeling they might not be on the show because all the episodes are very separate from each other but in fan-fiction I can put them in.
Also Blackle is a real environmentally friendly search engine, everyone should use it .com !
Thanks for reading. And reviewing. My internet is still stuffed up so I won't be updating until tomorrow, if the internet is working.
