Thanks for the reviews guys! I really appreciate it.

Freddie Benson and Sam Puckett walked into the Shay house as usual after school on Tuesday. Only thing was, their third counterpart was missing, and well, it was HER house they were at, but neither of them cared. What else would they do after school? Go home? Pffftt. Anyway, Spencer realizing that his little sister was not with her friends curiously spun around from the computer he was working at. "Um, where's Carly?" He asked, scratching his head and wondering why in the world his sister had such weird friends. Look who's talking. "How should we know? We came over to get some popsicles and watch a little Girly Cow." Sam said, walking over to the freezer and grabbing out a red and blue Popsicle. She threw the red one at Freddie, and plopped down on the Shay couch next to Freddie, who had already turned on Girly Cow.

Spencer was amazed! This was his house, right? So why did it always feel more like a hangout pad for Carly's two best friends. I mean she wasn't even home! "Guys, as much as I like seeing you two, why are you here?" Spencer asked gently. He didn't want to offend them. They got on his nerves sometimes, sure. But they were still cool kids, and he would love to have them around. Just when his sister was home.

"Didn't I already tell you? Now shush, the good part of Girly Cow is on." Sam snapped. Spencer just sighed and turned back around to the computer to finish writing his iCarly blog of the month. He should have known better anyway. Rule #14: Never disturb Sam while she was relaxing. In the background, all he could here were giggles, or should he say 'soft laughter that sound strangely like a giggle, but is not.' Because as stated in Rule #30: Sam doesn't giggle. Plus, who was he to mess up the bonding time between Freddie and Sam. It was amazing to see how they acted when no one else was around. Well, he was, but he didn't count, since he was simply observing. Kind of like a ninja, that was in his natural habitat, but still unnoticed. Spencer smiled at that thought. He would make a darn good ninja.

Carly walked in about 2 episodes of Girly Cow later, furious. "FREDDIE, SAM! Explain to me why I had to walk 2 MILES in heat, with all my books, because some 'FRIENDS' forgot to give me my bus money, and left on an earlier bus without me!" Carly panted, wiping sweat of her forehead as she stalked towards them. She was ready to kill them. "Well you see…" Sam began standing up from the couch, walking backwards. "Freddie and I were hot." She said, nodding to Freddie to help her out. "Yeah, so we decided to go to the drugstore after school." He explained after have moved to the farthest end of the couch possible. "And then we spent money on Fat Cakes." Sam said. Freddie glared at her. "She spent money on Fat Cakes. I got a Wahoo Punch." Freddie corrected. "Anyway, we accidentally spent our money on the stuff, so we had to use your money to get home. We figure Wendy would take you home. Isn't she on prom committee to?"

"She left early with the flu! Guys, this is the third time this month. I've lost five pounds from just walking!"

"I've noticed…" Freddie wiggled his eyebrows at Carly who just rolled her eyes.

"Whatever just don't let it happen again, ok? I know you two have a 'zone' or what not, but still. It's nice to be remembered." She sighed as she fell back on the couch. "Zone? We have no zone." Sam yipped, shivering at the very thought of it. "Yeah, yeah. You hate Freddie, he hates you, and you guys hate each other. Bicker, bicker, argue, argue. We know." Carly said tiredly. She wasn't trying to be mean, really. She was just sick of being forgotten ever since Freddie and Sam had started to hang out more because Carly was on the prom committee. Sam looked hurt though. "Look, we said were sorry. No need to get all sassy on us." Carly's closed eyes opened. If it was one thing she hated being called, it was sassy. She was NOT sassy. "I'm not sassy! Maybe if you two weren't such jerks and leaving me behind, I wouldn't be in such a bad mood!" She yelled at Sam. "Well maybe if you hadn't ditched us for prom committee I wouldn't have to hang out with this dork!" Sam angrily replied back. Freddie face turned angry too. How could she?! He thought they were making a lot of progress and she just… reverts! "I just put up with you! I knew Carly was too busy, so I hung out with you. Now I know that I'm being such a burden, I'll stop!" Carly felt bad now. She hadn't meant to mess up Sam and Freddie's friendship. "Guys maybe we should just…" Carly started before Sam cuts her off. "No! If the dork pities me so much, and you're too busy I'll just go home!" Sam stormed out the door. "Great. Thanks Carls." Freddie stormed out after Sam. 'Can't I just have a normal day?' Carly thought to herself. She answered it too. 'No.'

The next day at school, no one was talking to anyone. Sam wouldn't talk to Freddie or Carly, who wouldn't talk to Sam or Carly, and Carly just wanted her friends back. So at lunch time, she planned to apologize. Unfortunately, she never got that chance. Freddie sat with the AV nerd, Sam sat with the detention regulars, and Carly had no other choice but to just sit with Wendy and some of her friends. "Hey Carly!" Wendy said, smiling at Carly who had just put her lunch tray down of pizza and pudding (she like food with the letter P and T, okay?!) and sat down. "Yeah. What's up?" Carly said sullen. She missed her friends and wished yesterday had never happened. They've never all fought at the same time. "What's wrong? Why aren't you sitting with Sam and Freddie?" An unfamiliar voice asked. Carly looked up from the pudding she was mixing with her spoon and saw who it was. 'Jake Crandle. I forgot Wendy and him were next door neighbors. I wonder if they're dating..." Carly thought to herself. "Nothing. Just a little fight, nothing to worry about." Carly lied through her teeth. Truth was she was nervous that they would never talk and iCarly would have to be canceled, and she would grow lonely with 8 cats! She knew she was being silly, it was just hard not to think about it, ya know? "Right then… I gotta go. Bye Carly, Bye Wendy." Jake said, waving to Carly, and kissing Wendy on the cheek. 'So they are dating.' Carly noted. It didn't surprise her that the biggest gossiper in school could keep her private life… well, private. "So how long have you two been dating?" Carly asked, nodding at a retreating Jake. "Not long. We haven't gone public, and I'm surprised he even did that." Wendy confessed. She started to blush, making her fiery red hair look even redder. "I really like him. He's sweet and kind, and even serenades me, even though he can't sing!" Wendy gushed. Carly was happy for her. She had long gotten over her crush on Jake. "Good for you. I wish I had a boyfriend." Carly said. It wasn't true, but small talk helped her get over the fact that her two best friends hated her guts right now. "What happened to the Griffin dude I saw visiting you?" Wendy inquired. Carly was a little reluctant to answer. See, Wendy had a web site up, called Rumor Girl. Everyone knew it was here, but somehow Wendy still managed to pry gossip from people. Carly was already mad at herself for telling Wendy about the fight. She could see the title now: 'C, S, and F have fight!' She just wasn't up for any more of her private life on the internet. "Nothing, we just kind of drifted apart, ya know?" Carly lied. She hated lying, but she was still good at it, unlike Spencer, who couldn't lie if his own life depended on it. Wendy nodded, looking disappointed. She wanted some fresh gossip. "Look, I gotta go, okay? I'll talk to you later." Carly said, scooting back from the table. She hadn't touched the greasy pizza that was on her plate, and her pudding had only one spoonful taken out of it. Carly wasn't that hungry anyway, and threw the pudding away, saving the pizza for what she was about to do.

"Sam, can I talk to you?" Carly walked over to where Sam was sitting with her other friends and tapped on her shoulder. Sam twisted her head around and glared. "What do YOU want?"

"Nothing, just to talk. Please?"

"No." Sam turned back around and continued to eat… whatever was on her plate.

"Sam…." Carly begged until some big, bulky girl stood up. "She said no!" The girl got closer and closer to Carly until she was practically in her face. "Got it!?" The huge girl shouted, spitting as she talked. Carly flinched, now backed up into a chair. "Ay! Get away from her!" Carly could her Sam shout from behind the girl who was still in Carly's face. Carly smiled. 'I see rule #4 is still intact!' Carly thought happily. Sam pulled Carly from the girl and led her out the cafeteria.

"Are you crazy?! You know my detention friends aren't really fond of you!" Sam screeched. Carly just smiled and hugged a surprised Sam. "Thanks. I'm sorry. I am" Carly whispered, still hugging Sam. Sam hugged back. "I know. I'm sorry too." Sam whispered back. While they were still hugging, Freddie came out of the lunch room and tried to pass by them. Carly pulled on the back of his shirt and brought him into the hug. "We're sorry." Carly told him. Freddie smiled. "Yeah me too."

"Alright, alright. 'Nuff of this mushy stuff. Does anyone else smell pizza?" Sam said releasing Carly and Freddie and sniffing. "Oh yeah!" Carly searched around in her backpack for a minute and pulled out a slice of pizza wrapped in plastic. She handed it to Sam. "Aww, you really DO love me!" Sam said, taking the pizza out of the plastic. She had eaten it in about two bites. Yes, things were back to normal.

"And that's why a porcupine and a turtle could never be friends!" Sam said into the camera as they made another iCarly episode. The trio had jumped right back into being friends like nothing had ever changed. Carly had quit prom committee, seeing as it took up to much time, and Sam and Freddie included Carly when they did things together, and Carly respected them if they didn't want her to tag along. Things were good. Things were right. "Well guys, I guess that wraps up another iCarly!" Carly began to end the show. "But before we do, Freddie has something he would like to tell all of you. Come on down Freddio!" Sam said, much to Carly's surprise. This wasn't part of the show… Sam ran to monitor the camera, while Freddie took her place, looking pale. "I am a nerd. Sam Puckett is better, cooler, smarter, and a way better person all around. I am a nub." Freddie droned, obviously haven been put up to this. "Ah, ah, ah! You forgot something dork." Sam smirked from behind the camera. Carly just stood there. No doubt this was another one of their dares Freddie had lost. "Oh yeah. Sam way pretty, while I look like a frog." Carly had to snicker at that one. What?! It was funny. "Alright, good boy. This should teach you to never say I'm wrong." Sam said, walking back in front of the camera. Carly just looked at Freddie. It was Rule #17: Never tell Sam she's wrong, even if she is. Did he not know the rules? "Well, ok then… we'll see you next time on iCarly. Bye!" Freddie shut off the camera after Carly had said this and glared at Sam. "I can't believe you had me do that!" Freddie yelled at her. "Yeah well, I wasn't wrong!" "Yeah, you were!"

"Wasn't"

"Were!"

"Wasn't!"

"Were!"

"Were!"

"Wasn't!"
"Aha! Told you I wasn't" Sam smugly said. "Argh!" "Guys, what is this whole argument about?" Carly asked. "Sam said that Stereoface was better than Iceplay!" Freddie shouted pointing at Sam. "There are! Who listens to Iceplay nowadays anyway?" Sam said, plopping her into the Seat of Sitting. "A lot of people! Stereoface hasn't had a Top 30 song in ages!" Carly shook her head as her two best friends went back and forth, yelling about which one was better. Frankly, she liked Blueday better then both of them. "Don't make me spray you!" Carly said, silencing both her friends. "Good. Now can't you both agree to disagree?" Carly asked, trying to regain the peace they once had. "Fine." "Fine." Both Freddie and Sam chimed. "By the way, how did Sam manage to get you to say all that stuff?" Sam smirked and Freddie just looked down at his feet. "She threatened to tell everyone at school about my jewelry box." Freddie glumly said. "Sam!"

Later the gang went to the Groovy Smoothies to celebrate another great iCarly. It was a little full but still enough room for them to get a table. "I'll go get the smoothies. Sam you want a Blueberry Blitz, Carly you want a Mango Tango, right?" Freddie asked. Both the girls nodded, and Freddie went to go get the orders. "Wait, when did you start liking Blueberry Blitz?" Carly asked curiously. Sam started to- wait was she blushing?! Something dawned on Carly. "Isn't that Freddie's favorite drink?" Carly said smirking. "N-no, I just like that blueberry's are purple. You know how much I like that color, Shay." Sam rushed out. That just made Carly smile more. "Yeah, ever since Freddie said it looked good on you." "Shay…" Sam warned. Freddie walked back to the table. "Here you go. One Mango Tango and a Blueberry Blitz for me and Sam." He sat the right smoothie in front of everyone and then looked at the girls. Sam was twiddling her thumbs and Carly was smiling. He was confused. "What'd I miss?"

"Oh, nothing." Carly smiled wider. New rule: All rules are don't include Freddie.
