Gibby's eyes got huge when he heard Carly's idea. "I can't do THAT. Sam will KILL me if she finds out I'm lying!" he shouted.
"Gibby, it's only a little 'white' lie," Carly stated. "We've gotta do this to get Sam and Freddie back together. They both DESERVE to be happy. Don't you want our good friends to be happy like you and me?"
"Yes, my little snuggle-munch. But I value my body parts, and Sam is seriously gonna break them if she ever finds out that I..."
"She won't find out. Trust me," Carly promised as she took Gibby's hand in hers and started kissing his fingers. "Everything's going to go perfectly... according to MY plan."
"You better be right, because you value all my parts," Gibby said to Carly with a smirk.
"Ohhh Gibby, you say the craziest things sometimes!" Carly said as she fluffed up his hair. "Now be a good boy. You have work to do."
"Yes, yes. I'll get right on it," Gibby promised as he gave Carly a kiss and stood up. "But don't forget your part of this plan as well."
"Ohhh I won't forget. I got this WHOLE thing covered."

Sam and Freddie were at the Groovy Smoothie drinking the new Buttered-Popcorn-with-cherry-cola-flavored smoothies. "Ohhh this is sooo good," Sam said in a dreamy voice. "Almost as good as Bacon-flavored ice cream."
Freddie raised one eyebrow as he gave Sam a quizzical look. "It's alright... but not really on my list of top ten smoothies," said Freddie.
"You don't know a good smoothie when you taste it," Sam retorted.
"Sam, we need to talk about Gibby and Carly."
"What about them?"
"When are we gonna tell them that we're dating again?"
"I don't know," Sam answered. "Everyone made a big deal about how different we are, so that's why we broke up. Let's keep it to ourselves for awhile. I kind of like having a secret boyfriend."
"Who gives a chiz what everyone thinks," Freddie said with frustration. "I want to openly kiss my girlfriend. Besides, Gibby and Carly are our friends. They'll be happy for us."
"We'll tell them right after graduation," Sam responded. "It's only in a couple of weeks. It can be a big surprise for everyone."
"Alright..." Freddie said reluctantly. "I'm just hoping that nothing happens to ruin it for us."
"Why? What could go wrong to ruin it for us?" Sam asked. "We're back together, Freddie. Nothing's gonna ruin it. I love you again."
Freddie grinned at Sam over his smoothie. "You never stopped loving me. You only pretended that you did."
"Yeah, same thing," Sam said with a little chuckle.
