Recap- "Well, Sam, judging by these strange symptoms, I have to diagnose you with…"
"…Meat Addiction Disorder!"
"What?" all three teenagers asked at once.
"It's a relatively rare disease, when you're body craves meat and starts to hurt whenever you've gone too long without meat. The meat becomes almost like a drug; you feel like you need it." The doctor explained.
"Is it bad? How do we fix it?" asked Sam.
"Well, there are 2 ways. One, we can just give you meat whenever you crave it, like you have been doing. Or, you can get a surgery that will stop the meat craving, but you'll never be able to eat meat again."
"Is that it? I pick number one!" she said.
"Well, the thing is, this disease has side affects. It causes the infected person to be overly moody and aggressive. Also, it is very hard to concentrate."
"Wow, this explains everything!" said Freddie. Sam glared at him.
"I am not overly aggressive and moody!" Sam defended. Freddie, Carly, and Spencer gave her a 'yeah, right' look.
"Ok, maybe a little." She said. They kept giving her the look. "Okay, fine, a lot!"
"After the surgery, you'll feel happy, and you'll act a lot nicer. But old habits die hard, you'll probably still be giving wedgies." He said with a smirk.
"How do you know about that?" she said.
"I have a son named Gibby." The doctor explained.
"Oh, um, sorry!" said Sam with a fake innocent smile.
"That's okay. I'll have to call your mother so we can tell her about MAD and schedule the surgery.
"Fine, whatever. I'm taking a nap." Sam said, and then fell asleep. The doctor left, and Freddie and Carly sat down in the living room and talked.
"Wow, this explains so much!" exclaimed Carly.
"You know what, Carly? I feel terrible." Said Freddie
"What? Why?" she asked.
"All of these times Sam has bullied me and insulted me, it wasn't even her fault! And I was mean to her back." He said.
"It's not your fault, Freddie. How could you have known?"
"And," said Freddie, ignoring Carly's last comment, "I was the one that made this bet! Now she has a headache and terrible stomach cramps and it's all my fault!" he complained.
"Its okay, Freddie." Said Carly, hugging him. Normally Freddie would have loved hugging Carly, but it didn't feel right. When he had first met Sam, he'd liked her. As in, like liked her. But she treated him so bad. She bullied him, insulted him, and gave him wedgies. Freddie had decided to give up on her because it seemed like she hated him. He started to like Carly, because she treated him the way he wished Sam would. If Sam was half as nice to him as Carly, he would have kept his crush on her and probably even asked her out. But Sam's disease had ruined their entire relationship, and when he thought it was Sam who hated him, it was really just the meat. Freddie was suddenly filled with hope. Maybe, she doesn't really hate me after all. Maybe I still have a chance. Freddie smiled to himself and pulled out of the hug.
"I need to go home." He said, then ran out of the room.
REVIEW!! Please? For me? LOL, it works on Freddie, hope it works on you!
