Chapter 3: Getting to know you

"So, where we goin'?" Fredlumps asked. I didn't answer him. I know it was just the airport, but it looked so different than the last time I was there. "Woo who. Sam?"

"Oh, sorry, it's just...it looks so...different." It really was.

"The airport?"

"Yeah. I remember the last time I left. It was so different. I was sad and crying. I just didn't want to leave." It was quiet for what seemed like forever.

"You remember him, don't you?" Spot on, Fudgeface.

"Yeah, all too well."

"I'm so sorry," He choked out. I blinked back tears. I didn't want to talk about it anymore so I changed the subject.

"Well we better go," I said, trying to hide my sadness. "Mamaw's out front."

"Alright, let's go." Thank god he said nothing more. I didn't want him to see me cry. We carried our bags outside and there she was. Mamaw. She was sitting in her old, run down old car. I laughed. That car held more memories than anything else. She honked the horn and stepped out.

"Come here and give me a big ole hug."

"Mamaw!" I dropped everything and ran into her arms. It just seemed that everything else didn't matter.

"How ya been?"

"Awesome," Then I remembered Freddie was standing there. "Mamaw," I went over and grabbed Freddie's arm and pulled him over. "this is Fredward Benson."

"So, you are Mister Freddie Benson."

"Yes, ma'am." He really thought he could suck up to my grandmother. Wow.

"I've seen you on that iCarly show y'all do." My eyes grew wide.

"You've seen iCarly?" I said, surprised. Freddie seemed surprised too.

"Absolutely. I heard about those iWeb awards in Japan over the radio. They said iCarly was one of the nominees. Then they said who was included in each web show." I nodded. "You guys fight a lot." She said chucklin'.

"Yeah, you have no idea." Fredilena said, looking at me, giving me an evil look. I smiled.

"How, 'bout you come on in the car?" She said, "We can do some catchin' up."

"Absolutely," I started to walk towards the car.

"Sam, what about the luggage?"

"You can get it can't ya, Benson." I opened the car door and sat down. I heard him say, "Sure, you blonde-headed jerky lovin' demon." Now, can't you see why irritating him is so much fun?

It was taking longer to get there than I remembered. I looked out the window almost the whole time.

"Sam?" Freddie said.

"What?"

"Are we almost there?"

"Not sure. Mamaw?"

"We'll be there in 'bout five minutes."

"'Kay." Then, Fredlumps pulled out his video camera.

"I should've known you'd bring your stupid camera."

"It happens to be very valuable."

"Anything owned by you can't be that valuable."

"You know what, Puckett?"

"What Benson?" Fredwardo was about to say something, but the car came to a stop.

"Look, could you guys calm down! I can drive with you all yapin' back there. So just shush. You sound like Jeevers when she's angry, loud and obnoxious."

"Jeevers?" Freddie questioned.

"She's my horse," I paused, "Last time I saw her she was a foal." Mamaw started up the car again.

"Well, Darlin' she's grown mighty big since you left. She's one beautiful and strong horse."

"Do you think she'll remember me?"

"Oh, of course she will, she can't forget ya, she loves ya to death."

"Maybe I could convince you to ride one of Mamaw's horses." I had an image of him being incredibly scared to go on the horse.

"Maybe."

"Alright we're here."

"Cool, I'll get my stuff," I said, unbuckling my seatbelt.

"No, I'll get it," Mamaw said, "you go take Freddie and see Jeevers."

"Ya sure?"

"Yes."

"Okay, c'mon Freddie." He didn't say anything. He just followed me. I hadn't seen Jeevers in a while and I missed her like crazy.

"Is she in here?" Freddie asked.

"Yeah, c'mon." I grabbed his wrist and pulled him inside. There she was. "Jeevers!" She made that noise all horses make. Neigh. I went inside her stall and hugged her neck. She felt warm. "Freddie, you wanna come in and pet her or something?"

"Yeah sure." He stepped in the stall and examined her before touching her. She's a white horse with patches of black and a white mane. He pet her gently as did I. "You know, Sam, I didn't know you had a horse. She's beautiful."

"Thanks. She likes you, you know."

"How can you tell?"

"I spent four to five hours a day out here last time I was here. I think I know my horse."

"Yeah, I can tell."

"Hey you wanna, maybe go riding later?" I don't like Fredpuss, but this is something anyone shouldn't miss. He smiled.

"Yeah, sounds great." I kissed Jeevers on the side of her head.

"I missed you." Freddie came up and pet her again. Grinning from ear to ear. I knew he'd fall in love with the horses.

"Sam! Freddie! I got lunch ready!"

"Comin'!" I yelled, "Bye, Jeevers. Freddie and I will be back later. I promise."

"We better go."

"Yeah."

"Good Lunch, Ms. Puckett," Freddie said.

"Thank you."

"Hey, um, Mamaw, can Freddie and I go riding after lunch?"

"Sure. You can take Harry," She said, pointing to Freddie. Freddie looked at me.

"Harry will like you," I said.

"You sure?"

"Olive's the most stubborn. She's Mamaw's oldest horse."

"It's true, Harry is one of the kindest horses I have."

"Alright, I'll give it a shot."

"Good," I knew I would get my way. Even if he refused I would have dragged him out to the barn and he would have had to get on that horse. A couple of minutes passed and both of us finished eating, so we went to the barn.

"I'll get Harry." I told Freddie. I decided I would get Jeevers after I had gotten Harry.

After I had gotten both of them out, I got the saddle, bridle and blankets for the both of us.

"You ready?"

"Yeah, but um Fredley?"

"What?"

"I just wanna thank you."

"For what?"

"If you weren't here right now I probably would be falling apart. Thanks for making me feel better." We stared at each other for a long moment, and then he walked up to me and hugged me. I hugged him back.

"No problem, Puckett." I smiled and it finally started to feel like home.
