Well here it is friends the end of the story I had a fun time writing this I hope you had a good time reading it. I would like to thank Missme02 and SuperShadowMario101 for their reviews.
A/N I do not own operate or maintain iCarly, but I was some what responsible for the care and feeding of my late pet hamster.
After Sam had finished talking to her sister she headed over to Carlys. "Now for a little comfort" she thought "and tomorrow things will be getting back to normal.
Sam walked into the Shays apartment. She had given up knocking a long time ago. Spencer had just given her a key because he finally accepted the fact that she could get in anytime she wanted, and it saved on replacing broken locks.
"Hey Spencer where's Carly?" she asked.
"Up in the studio. Is everything all right? You should of seen the look on Freddie's face when he left I think something happened between him and Carly."
"Yeah Carly called me I think her and Freddie broke up."
"OOO that's tough."
"I better head up" then she looked at the refrigerator "right after I get some ham."
Sam grabbed her ham and headed upstairs. "I better be careful what I say, Carly isn't as gullible as the nub" She thought.
When she entered the studio she found Carly with her face buried in the beanbag chair crying. Sam felt a twinge of regret, doing things to Freddie was one thing. Sure she kinda didn't really hate him after all he was good for lunch money, and he was just so much fun to jerk around. Carly was her best friend, always seeing the best in her even when no one else did or even cared.
She walked over to Carly and put her hand on shoulder "sup" she asked.
Carly turned over and looked up at Sam with red swollen eyes. "He broke up with me" she sobbed.
"I need to make this sound good" Sam thought.
With mock shock she said "What?"
"You heard me Sam he broke up with me. He said I was only attracted to him because he saved my life. He wanted to give it some time. He wanted me to wait, to see how I would feel when this whole 'hero' thing wore off. Sam is this what I get for ignoring him for so long?"
Carly got up and flung her arms around Sam and buried her face on her shoulder and wept.
Sam reluctantly put her hand on the back of her head and patted her back with the other one. "There there" she said "The nubenstein is being an idiot." This made Carly cry harder.
"This is not going well" Sam thought.
She gently pushed Carly back held her by one shoulder and but her finger under Carlys chin and lifted her face up so she could see her.
"Carly I want to ask you something; do you think that just maybe you only liked Freddie because he saved you life?"
Carly pushed Sam away and shouted at her "HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT?"
"Welllll…it seemed up until the accident…..uh….how can I say this gently….you were just friends, then BAM you're a couple. Don't you think that is just a little fluky?"
"You don't understand, I have had feelings for Freddie for a while. The accident gave me the courage to express them."
This took Sam by surprise. "What do you mean?"
Carly got a faraway look in her eyes "I think it all started after the Girls Choice dance, you remember that don't you?"
Sam remembered well, first she had gotten what seemed like all the guys in Seattle wanting to take Carly to the dance, and the guy she chose wasn't exactly Prince Charming. She remembered going to Gibbys house to make him take her to the dance. Then it came back to her how she got turned down by Gibby of all people. Then she remembered how it blew her mind when she saw who Gibby was dating. It was bad enough getting blown off...by Gibby, but getting the door shut in her face was just plain humiliating. She remembered the long walk to the Groovy Smoothie, and the sight that greeted her when she got there. Carly and Freddie were dancing in a close embrace.
Carly continued on "I know you didn't make it to the dance, but trust me it was a disaster. After the dance we all went to the Groovy Smoothie. To make a long story short Freddie knew how bad the night had been so he had T-bo turn the music up and then asked me to dance. As we held each other it dawned on me how Freddie had always been there for me."
She looked at Sam and saw a shocked expression on her face. "You have always been there too Sam we are like sisters."
Sam felt a gnawing pain in her stomach, she knew it couldn't be anything she ate (she had laid off the Persians chocolates a long time ago). Could this be guilt?
"Oh Sam I am so afraid I've lost him." Carly started to cry again.
"Carls didn't you say he just wanted to give you some time? He will be there waiting for you."
"I don't know Sam, it's like I got this feeling like someone is going to snatch him away from me."
Just then Sam's phone rang, Melanie was calling her.
"Aren't you going to answer it?" Carly asked.
"Nah…it's just Mel she can leave a message. You're what's important now."
Carly gave Sam a hug "Oh Sam I just don't know what I would do without you."
"You would probably be making out with Freddie right now" Sam thought with regret.
"Look cupcake just call Freddie, I bet he will be over here in a second."
"Too soon Sam, all he will do is tell me to wait." Now it was Carlys phone that rang. "It's Freddie" she squealed. She answered it "Hey what's up?"
"Not much, I just called to see how you were doing."
"Well…I could be better."
"Listen Carly I know you are probably feeling down, I am too. But it's for the best. I just don't want to take advantage of you."
"You weren't Freddie trust me."
"We've gone over this already, what I wanted to tell you that I think it would be best if I got someone else to be your tech for a little while. I will still do the website and help with the videos for the show. I think it would better for all of us if we didn't see each other for a while, you know till this whole hero thing wears off."
"Okay" she said weakly.
"Okay" Freddie answered than hung up.
Carly started to cry again "He thinks it would be best if we didn't see each other for a while. If I didn't know better I think he found someone else."
Sam's phone chimed it was a text from Melanie "got him hook line and sinker ;-)"
Sam grimaced, she felt like she was going to puke. "This must be karma catching up with me" she thought.
"Carly…..I think I have something to tell you."
Carly looked puzzled. "What is it Sam?"
"I…I…I….kinda put Freddie up to it."
"WHAT" Carly shouted "WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?"
"Well you see" said Sam as she hung her head in shame "I was afraid if you and Freddie got together there would be no room for me. I was afraid I would lose my two best friends." She looked up at Carly with big sad eyes.
Carlys anger abated "Why would you ever think that? You will always be my friend."
"I thought the closer you two got I would eventually get squeezed out of the picture. I got the idea I would have to spend the rest of my life dancing shirtless with Gibby to the Benny Hill theme."
Carly chuckled under her breath "Oh Sam that is so silly!"
"It is?"
"Yes, everyone knows you don't dance to the Benny Hill theme you chase to it."
Sam asked "Are you mad at me?"
"Furious" Carly replied.
"Well I will make this right." Sam took out her phone and dialed it.
Carlys phone rang. She looked at Sam "why are you calling me?"
"Just stay on the line, listen, and don't say anything" with that Sam left.
She left the Shays apartment and headed across the hall. Freddie's door was locked, but locks never stopped Sam Puckett. It took her 15 seconds to pick the lock "HMM new record" she thought.
She slowly pushed the door open; Mrs. Benson wasn't home from work yet. Sam walked back to Freddie's room she thought about barging in and scaring him, but then she thought she didn't want to catch him in the middle of something so she knocked.
"Who is there" Freddie asked?
"It's Sam. I'm coming in so you better not be doing anything."
Sam walked in the room and plopped down on the end of Freddie's bed.
"What do you want?" he asked.
"I want you to shut up and listen." She took a big breath of air "Listen nub I am only going to say this once. I set you up. I didn't want you and Carly to date. I was afraid I would lose my two best friends. Now if you had any sense you would get your geeky butt out of bed and hobbled over to Carly and throw yourself at her feet and kiss them, because for some unknown reason she really likes you. In fact she has liked you for a while and has been afraid to tell you. Probably because she was afraid you would do something stupid like this."
"You actually conciser me your best friend?"
"I told you to shut up and listen!"
"Oh sure" he said "I bet Carly put you up to this."
"Do you have crap for brains?" she reached out and rapped on his head. "Hello any one home? I am going to say it again slowly so you can understand 'CARLY….REALLY…LIKES….YOU'.
Freddie looked at her with disbelief.
"Look dork I know about Melanie's phone call, that was just a set up too." Then she showed him Melanie's text.
"I don't believe it" he stammered. "I thought she actually liked me."
"She does. I asked her to help me out, and in return she wanted a date with you."
That bit of news left him speechless.
"Look Freddork Carly is across the hall in tears because she thinks she lost you, and it's all my fault. I am sorry"
"Wow I never thought I would see the day when Princess Puckett would admit she was wrong, let alone sorry."
Sam glared at Freddie "don't push it unless you want your other appendages broken."
Freddie gulped. "Help me get up I need to go to Carly."
"No need to" came a voice from the door, it was Carly.
She came over and sat on the bed she ran her hand over Freddie's head then kissed him.
Sam sneered at them "well things are back to normal."
Then they heard a voice come from the doorway. "What is going on here?" It was Mrs. Benson. "Are you girls trying to corrupt my Freddiekins?" She grabbed a can of disinfectant off the dresser and started spraying the girls.
"You girls go wait in the living room I am getting my puppets someone has to teach you the facts of life.
