S POV
Sighing deeply as she ran a hand through her long blond curls, Sam starred at the foreboding door that led to Carly Shays apartment. Feeling a nervousness that she didn't know was possible, Sam contemplated on just turning around and going back to enjoy her day off in bed. Shaking her head as she reminded her self that she was Samantha Puckett, she didn't run from anybody or anything unless you count Ms. Briggs with her bag pipes. Putting her hand on the knob Sam threw the door open and entered with a swagger acting as if she owned the world.
"Hey guys" Sam spoke as she headed towards the fridge hoping that Spencer had stocked up on the ham.
"Sam!!" Spencer yelled surprised and happy to see the blond girl since her long absence. Gathering the surprised girl into a hug as he squealed Spencer remembered himself and let go chuckling sheepishly.
"What was that for?" Sam asked only to be gathered into another hug by an over excited Carly Shay.
"Sam! You're here!!" Carly squealed as she squeezed her best friend as hard as she could.
"Carly….cant….breathe…" Sam wheezed out, ignoring the rush of pleasure she felt at feeling the brunette's arms wrapped around her.
"Sorry, sorry?" Carly apologized as she let go of the blond, a shy smile gracing her features.
"S'okay kid, just surprised me is all, so what do you want to do today?" Sam asked feeling a strange bout of shyness but also the usual urge to reassure her friend that everything was alright in their world.
Instead of giving a verbal answer Carly took Sam by the hand and led her upstairs straight to the iCarly studio. Eyes widening Sam gulped as she had a feeling that they weren't headed up there to do a web cast. Hanging her head in defeat Sam let herself be pulled.
C POV
Running up the stair and into the iCarly studio, she pushed the blond as far into the room as she could before turning around and locking the door. Taking a deep breath Carly turned to face a nervously twitching Sam. Once again confused by the blonds behavior, brown eyes began to travel over her friends body. Licking her lips as some very non friendly thoughts began to enter her head Carly was startled by the calling of her name.
"Huh…what? What'd you say Sam?" Carly asked snapping out of her daze.
"I asked if we are going to do a webisode, isn't that why you brought me up here?" Sam asked silently hoping that the petite girl would agree with her.
Frowning Carly shook her head, collapsing into a bean bag chair she started up at the still fiddling blond. For the past month her meat loving all food having friend had been missing in action and when they were finally in the same room, Carly shook her head again this time to clear the confusing thought out of her head.
"No, Sam. I just…." Looking down at her hands Carly asked meekly, "Sam, are you doing drugs?"
"What!?" Frowning as she began to replay the words in her head Sam once again exclaimed "What?? No I'm not doing drugs?" sounding as insulted as she looked Carly felt even worse, then she already did as soon as the question had left her lips. But she had to know. Sam's strange, well stranger behavior, everything seemed to point that her friend was into something bad and the brunette beauty just had to find out what. She was worried for her Sammy.
"Then what, what is been going on Sam…is it me did I do something wrong?" Carly asked saddened to think that she was causing her friend to act so weird.
"No, not at all kiddo, its just…" Pausing as she tried to think of a lie Sam smiled as the idea came to her, "Melanie is planning on coming into town and you know how much I hate her." Sam lied.
Relief flushing over her face Carly stood up and hugged the blond tightly "Is that it, you've been acting all weird because of Melanie? Don't you know that I wouldn't have cared about that."
"Don't sweat it cupcake, I just didn't want to worry you I'm sorry" Sam whispered into Carly's ear, her words and the heat of her breath sending a shiver down the brunettes spine. Freaking just a little bit at the unexplained arousal she felt from just that moment, Carly separated from Sam nonchalantly brushing her hands against her clothes. Just as she was about to open her mouth to speak the ding of the elevator distracted both girls from their conversation.
"Hey Carly, Spencer said I could come up, I have news about…."Freddie spoke as he exited from the lift, "Sam…you're here"
S POV
Silently thanking the lord of all fat cakes for Freddie's timing, a bright smile crossed her features. Going over to the boy who was looking a mixture of confusion and suspicion Sam enveloped the boy into a hug. Squeezing him so tight that he was wheezing she whispered something into his ear that only he could hear before letting go. Stepping back she took in the looks of confusion and alarm on her friends faces, smiling and shrugging Sam moved back over to where Carly stood and slung her arm over her loves shoulders.
"Was up Fredweird?" Sam asked
Swallowing in fear as his wide eyes Freddie opened his mouth to speak but all that came out was a strangled. "She tried to kill me."
"Oh I did not, I just gave you a wedgie that hardly qualifies as death." Sam spat out.
"A wedgie that wasn't a wedgie Puckett, Carly" the brunette male whined hoping for some sympathy from his 'one true love'.
Smiling brightly as she watched her two friends bicker with each other Carly was so happy that things seemed to be going back to normal that she didn't even mind their fighting. Happy that her friends were back together, and that their trio was once again a trio, she allowed them to have their fun. At least for a little while, as she covertly picked up the spray bottle she kept handy in every room of the house, Carly stepped between the two and sprayed them both in the face.
"Hey." They both spoke in unison as they both turned their damp faces to Carly.
"Who wants to see if the pizza is here yet?" Carly asked them as she belted the spray bottle. Lacing her arm through Sam's she started to drag the both of them to the elevator. Pressing the down button she was surprised to hear a cuttlefish song coming from her right as soon as her finger hit the button. Looking to see Sam frowning down at her phone Carly tried to casually look at the text message that her friend had gotten.
-Needed ASAP, Miranda on warpath, watch out – April-
Swallowing back the rising jealousy that she was starting to feel bubble in the pit of her stomach Carly asked in her sweetest of voice "Whose April?"
