*I DON'T OWN ICARLY OR HSM!"

It's Saturday morning, and the iCarly crew is gathered around the Seattle auditorium along with all of the other prospective cast mates.

"I can't take the excitement!" Carly shouted over the loud chatter and the anxious bodies jumping up and down.

After 10 minutes of waiting Walt walked out with the cast list in hand.

Carly let out an excited scream, and started jumping up and down along with all of the other people, excluding Sam of course.

"Okay, before you all see who we have picked I want you to know that these were the best auditions I have ever sat in on, and that all of you, well um most of you" He said looking at Shannon, "Did an excellent job. " He finished.

O so the goober DOES know what he's talking about, nice to know. Thought Sam referring to the part where he was mentioning 'sitting in' on auditions.

Sam was the only one that didn't care about the list. She was only there because Carly forced her off of the Shay's couch and dragged her there. Almost literally. Sam rolled her eyes.

Every single time it's 'the best' don't get that excited.Sam thought.

"Without further ado, ladies and gentlemen, and Gibby, I bring you the cast of High School Musical!" Walt said and turned around pinning the cast sheet up on the big revolving doors.

Everyone ran forward, but Sam stayed back and just listened.

"I got Sharpay!" Carly shouted.

"I'm Troy Bolton!" Freddie shouted, almost as excited as Carly.

Carly wanted Gabriella, but she was more than happy with the role of Sharpay.

"I'm a tree." Gibby stated with disappointment. "Aw man! Not again!" Gibby sighed and walked home.

"I'm a stand in for a tree?" Shannon trailed off the end of the sentence. "Oh well, I will still be better than whatever was picked for Freddie's romantic lead, I mean Gabriella."

Who did get Gabriella? Freddie wondered, but it was too crowded for him to see around the kids lined up.

"Ryan." Jake stated with satisfaction. "Well there is a little footnote under my name that says that I have to come in at 5:30 a.m., 7:30 a.m., 9:30 a.m., 11:30 a.m., 1:30 p.m., 3:30 p.m.,5:30 p.m., 7:30 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. for one on one singing work. Well I guess I'm just so good that they want to work with me to bring my potential to surface. Sweet." He said happily.

Poor poor tone-deaf Jake, Sam retorted to herself.

"Achoo- I'm a band person-achoo- for the caf-achoo-eteria-scenes-achoo" Jeremy said, trying not to do some serious damage to his brain from sneezing so hard.

"I'm Chad!" Shane jumped up and pulled his fists down. "Yes! I get an afro!"

Sam shuttered at the thought of Shane in an afro.

"I'm Martha Cox? Who's that? O YEAH! Hip hop girl... She barely has a part in the first one!" Valarie complained.

"I'm Kelsey! Cool! I don't like that much attention anyway."Rebecca smiled.

"I'm Taylor!" The new girl, Alex, seemed excited by this part.

She should get that part, that chick is a freakin' rocket scientist, Sam observed.

"I'm Zeke? Dang it! I have to learn how to make some stupid cookies now." Jonah complained

"You won't have to actually make them, there will be props." Alex explained in an I-know-everything voice.

"Whatever." Jonah rolled his eyes, and Alex frowned.

"I'm Jason." Garret sighed. (A/N I ran out of people, so sue me…)

"Yes! I get to play one of the freaks at the audition!" Griffin smirked and left.

Probably home to brush his pee wee babies. Sam laughed at her own thoughts.

No one had even checked to see who Gabriella was.

After a while the huge crowd had died down from super-massive to slightly large. Sam forced herself up from the sitting position she had resumed, while waiting for everyone to finish praising or whining about their parts, and trudged over to the piece of paper that had everyone spazzing out.

"Let's see.. Sam, Sam, Sam, Sam…" Sam chanted trying to find her name on the list.

She looked through the entire ensemble and didn't see her name, she looked through the supporting roles and her name wasn't there either.

"Whatever, guess I lost my talent when I punched my first dork." Sam sighed, she didn't want to do the play, she had no regards for theatre, she thought that HSM was cheesy and stupid, but there was a part of her that wished she had the chance to be up on stage again, like when she was a little theatre loving kid.

"NO WAY!" Carly gawked at the cast list.

"What?" Sam turned around and walked back over to the list that held the names of the people that made it into the play, people that didn't have near as much experience as Sam, people who didn't have half as much talent as Sam. It was hard but she somehow managed to look at the list again.

"Troy Bolton- Freddie Benson, Gabriella Montez- Sam Puckett, Sharpay Ev- WHAT?!" Sam's eyes flew open wide from the tired state they were previously in. "I got Gabriella?!" Sam didn't know whether to be happy, or mad, or not caring. Man, she needed some ham!

"Ah! I am so proud of you Sam! And you didn't even want to do a play!" Carly teased and rejoiced, followed by a big excited shriek.

"I heard screaming what's going on?" Freddie asked concerned about Carly.

Poor dork, doesn't even know that that scream was a Carly happy scream. Dumbest smart dork I've ever met…

"Sam got the lead!" Carly beamed.

"No way! You mean I'm stuck with Sam?" Freddie asked, hoping he had just hallucinated.

"That's Gabriella to you dork." Sam wasn't happy about the situation, but it was so worth it to further ruin the dork's life.

Shorter chapter to make up for the last one being insanely long!
