Next thing they all knew, Sam was sitting in a dentist chair, still groaning every once in awhile. The doctor peered into her mouth, shaking his head.
"What'd you do?"
"I tripped." Sam grunted, somewhat embarrassed.
"Well, we're going to have to take it out." He said through the surgical mask he had on. It bobbed around as he spoke. The dentist turned, fiddled through some drawers, and pulled out a canister connected to a breathing mask and tube.
"What's that?" Sam eyed it warily.
"Something that will make this a lot less painful." He placed the mask over Sam's mouth.
"Hold that there." He said, pressing to her face until she had a firm grip on it. There was a silence, until the doctor removed it. Sam was somewhat drowsy, and had a few giggle fits.
"What'd you give her?" Carly asked; her eyebrows furrowed together.
"It has about four names." The doctor grunted, getting to work on Sam's mouth.
"Like?" Carly asked curiously.
"N20, Nitrous oxide…" The doctor's drill screeched in a shrill scream.
"…Anything less scientific?" Carly asked hopefully.
"Happy gas. Laughing gas. It has a sweet smell and taste, and it prevents pain during minor surgeries. Patients who are administered with it often because relaxed, easy-going, and shockingly truthful." The doctor worked in silence for a while. Finally, he plucked the tooth from Sam's mouth. "That's a keeper."
"Ew." Carly stayed out of his way as he left.
"I need to go do some things before I let her go home. So sit tight. I'll be back in about five minutes." The dentist closed the door.
"Hey… Carly…" Sam half-mumbled, her mouth stretched in a grin, her eyes fluttered shut.
"Yeah?"
"Happy gas, huuuh?"
"Mmhm."
"What makes you happy, Carly?" Sam inquired, her hands tapping lightly on the wooden armrests. Carly paused for a moment, taking in the question. She searched for a light answer, and responded cheerfully.
"Spencer bought me some Strawberry Melody shampoo the other day. Now my hair feels great." Carly chirped.
"Let me feel!" Sam greedily clasped her fingers around her Carly's hair, and began to stoke it, laughing with her mouth closed and began to hum and bob her head around. "Your hair is soft, no secret about it!" Sam grinned.
Carly laughed, and kept her eyes ahead as Sam petted her hair. "I know, keeping a secret about soft hair isn't fun!" Carly sighed.
"Yeah, I can trust any secret with you." Sam continued to tug on her hair. "Like, listen to this, and tell me if it's a secret I could tell you."
"Okay, shoot. We're both friends here."
"I. Kissed. Freddie." Sam had pulled on Carly's hair to pull into Carly, and dropped back to continue to stroke her hair.
"Yeah, you can—"
There was a pause after Carly spoke.
"What?" Her mouth dangled open in horror, and there was a click as a door opened. Sam jumped, and blinked her eyes a few time in the directions of the door opening.
The happy gas had worn off.
Sam was sat up, in a daze. "Carly, where am I again?"
"You hit your tooth, so we had it taken out." Carly spoke softly. "They gave you happy gas. You were real talkative." Carly grinned. Sam's eyes widened as Carly continued, repeating the dentist.
"'Happy gas. Laughing gas. It has a sweet smell and taste, and it prevents pain during minor surgeries. Patients who are administered with it often because relaxed, easy-going, and shockingly truthful.'" Carly hinted, eyeing Sam. The dentist stepped in.
Sam snarled, and leapt at the dentist. She grabbed a nearby tool and threatened to stab him with it.
"What did you give me?"
"I-I-I—" He stammered, frightened of the girl baring her teeth in his face. Sam peered around, and plucked a canister from the desk. "This! What is it? You gave it to me!"
"Happy gas. It's perfectly harmless!" The dentist tried to free himself of her grip. Carly tugged on Sam, convincing her to let go. "C'mon, Sam." Carly led the way out. Sam was sending looks over her shoulders, still glaring at the dentist who had armed himself with a toothbrush incase Sam didn't cooperate with Carly.
Lucky for him, she did.
AN: Sorry it took so long to update! I've been extremely busy with school, family, camp, and starting up a new role-play guild, as well as stress. I thank everyone who's been paying attention and waiting! It's no excuse that I took so long! The chapters are being rewritten to be more IC and more fitting to the story. I panicked as I saw that the episode is coming out in two weeks! Wish me luck in finishing before it comes out!
