A/N: I'm so sorry about the slow updates guys! I'm super busy with band camp this month, and it's really hard to get things accomplished quickly. Anyway, here's chapter 6!! BTW, from now on I'll denote the time period just by saying what month it is. The past will be indicated with the word "last" in front of the month.

CHAPTER 6

~*Last July*~

"Of all colors you could've possibly chosen, you had to pick pink?" Sam complained, gasping slightly as Lizzie tightened a corset around Sam's waist.

"I like pink," she said simply, tying a knot tightly to hold the corsets in place and walking over to the couch of her apartment. "Besides, it matches all the flowers and whatnot." She picked up the satin dress and walked over to Sam. "Arms up," she ordered. Sam sighed, raising her arms above her head and allowing Lizzie to slide the silky fabric over her body.

"I feel like a flower, myself," she grumbled, looking at herself in the mirror full body mirror in Lizzie's living room.

"Sam, you look absolutely stunning so shut up," Lizzie said lightly, rolling her eyes. She grabbed a pin cushion off of the couch and stuck a few pins in her mouth. "Raise your hem," she said around a mouth full of metal. Sam lifted the dress until the bottom was barely touching the floor. Lizzie pinned it in place, taking special care to not stick Sam with the sharp metal objects.

"I'm definitely avoiding this color at my wedding," Sam said, eyeing herself in the mirror. "Maybe I'll go for more red or orange or something."

"How is Freddie, anyway?" Lizzie asked, her eyes still fixed on the fabric she was pinning to Sam's dress. Sam shrugged.

"Same as always," she said. "Still the biggest dork in the universe."

"You never grow up, do you Sam?" Lizzie asked playfully, securing the final pin in place. She stood up, eyeing Sam from head to toe. "Beautiful," she remarked. "Spencer is going to be psyched." Sam looked in the mirror again, holding her hair up in different positions, deciding how she liked it best.

"How's Carly?" she asked absently. Lizzie shrugged.

"I haven't seen much of her lately," she admitted, straightening a bit of Sam's dress at the bottom.

"Why's that?"

"She doesn't come out of her room much. It's really not much of a way to be spending the summer, but I guess since she is the maid of honor she has a lot of planning to do." Sam nodded, her mind trailing elsewhere.

"The dress looks great," she said, her tone changing suddenly. "I've got a lot of errands to run, so I'm going to have to go." She allowed Lizzie to pull the dress off of her body. "Thanks for everything," she added, reaching around to untie the corset from behind her. She let out a big sigh of relief as the tight material finally loosened from her waist.

"Come on back in a few days, I should have this thing tailored and everything," Lizzie said. Sam nodded, sliding a pair of jeans up her legs and buttoning them.

"I'll be here around Wednesday if that's cool," she said, sliding her t-shirt over her head.

"That's perfect. Good luck sorting things out with Carly!" Sam turned to her, her hand barely resting on the door knob.

"I never said that's what I was going to go do," she said, a little too roughly. Lizzie shrugged, a sly smirk forming on her lips.

"You never said it wasn't."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Sam found herself in front of Carly's apartment door, pounding on it furiously. She could easily whip around, burst into Freddie's apartment, and forget this whole situation. She was half tempted to do just that when the door swung open.

"Geez, hold your horses," a familiar voice sighed in annoyance. Carly's eyes went wide as she looked at Sam. Sam stood awkwardly in the hallway, rocking back and fourth on her feet.

"Can…I come in?" she finally asked. Carly nodded, stepping aside and allowing the blonde access to her living space.

"Not to sound rude, but why are you here?" Carly asked, closing the door as Sam walked in. Sam sighed, flopping down on the Shay's couch.

"This fight is stupid," she said. "I was mad at you for hanging out with Lizzie or whatever, and now I'm doing the same thing with this whole wedding." She looked up at the brunette half-heartedly. "At least if we're going to be in this wedding together, we should try to stop hating each other."

"I've never hated you, Sam," Carly responded, making her way over to the couch and sitting next to her former best friend. "I'm really sorry about what I did to you and Freddie in high school. You two were meant for each other, and I guess I was just really jealous that he was taking my best friend from me. I guess I was also a little jealous that you had found someone that loves you so much, and I hadn't had a steady relationship yet." Sam nodded.

"It's alright, Carls. We forgive you." Carly face broke out in a wide smile.

"So, does this mean we can start hanging out again?" Sam raised her shoulder in an undecisive manner.

"Will you promise me ham whenever I want it?" Carly giggled, throwing her arms around the blonde girl.

"You really never change, do you?"
