Aquarium: So here's what happens when Sam and Spencer go to buy him a new fish...

The fantabulous Dan Schneider owns iCarly...sigh...I so want it though...


Sam's POV:

Can anyone explain to me how I ended up at the Pet Store staring at the glass of the aquarium? Oh, that's right, my best friend Carly was over at Wendy's to finish their stupid school project and Freddie had been dragged to a 'troubled teen's convention' by his mother, which had made her the only available person to accompany Spencer to buy himself a new fish.

"Hey Sam, what about these?" I hear Spencer ask.

I walk over and look at the school of guppies that he's pointing at, small and insignificant, innocent and vulnerable, exactly like Gibby's brother Guppy.

"Too small." I tell him.

He sighs, "I'll keep looking."

After a few moments I feel his eyes on me so I turn around to look at him.

"Something wrong Spence?"

He shakes his head, but the strange frown on his face never goes away.

"I was just wondering something...but I'm afraid that if I ask, you'd punch me."

I smirk at his words because it did sound like something I'd do.

"Just ask me Spencer, I'll try to contain myself."

"Okay, so a long time ago Carly told me that you and Freddie had kissed, but she never explained to me anything else...so I was thinking..."

"No, I'm not talking about it!" I say, shocked that he would bring that up.

"Aw c'mon Sam," he pouted. "I'm like your older brother, and how come Carly gets to know the deets and I don't?"

I roll my eyes, but he's right. Spencer was like my older brother...not that I hadn't had a crush on him once, but I got over that quickly. If I could tell Carly that, though she was my best friend and I loved her to death, was a blabbermouth, I had to be able to tell Spence.

"Alright, what do you want to know?" I sigh.

"Everything, starting with why? And more importantly, why Freddie?"

I fought back the blush that I felt rising in my cheeks.

"It was back when I told everyone that Freddie had never kissed anyone..."

"Right, then you went on iCarly and said that you never kissed anyone either."

"Uh huh. You see, I went to find him and we started talking about our first kiss and then we decided that why not kiss each other...y'know, just to get it over with." I stopped to look at him, to see how he was reacting, but his face was impassive.

"How long was it?"

I rolled my eyes, that was the exact thing Carly had asked.

"I don't know...8...9 seconds."

"Did you like it?"

That was it...the question he had interrupted when he burst into the apartment looking for his banjo, the one that remained unanswered.

"Well, I didn't have anything else to compare it to...so I don't know it I would prefer it over somebody else's kiss. But I mean, besides who it was that I was kissing, it was okay."

I almost felt like slapping myself, how could I tell Spencer that.

Spencer gave a sympathetic smile, then dropped the bomb.

"Sam...do you like Freddie?"

The blush I had tried to fight for so long finally reached visibility. He must have noticed because his smile sunk back into his face and he watched me with confused brown eyes.

"I don't necessarily hate him...but..."

Spencer interrupted me, "It's fine Sam, you don't have to explain yourself to me. Just remember, if you ever need anyone to talk to about, y'know...problems...with guys...and your mom isn't helping...you can always come to me. I may not be the best, but at least I'll get your mind off it."

I smiled widely, "Thanks Spence. But you repeat anything we talked about here and I will punch you."

"Mum's the word," he replied, zipping up his lips for emphasis.

I smiled but said nothing.

"So, Sam what do you say about these fish?" Spencer asks me, pointing ot a pair of beta fish that were swiming around each other, almost like they were dancing, then fighting, then dancing again. One was red and the other was blue.

I smiled wider, "They're perfect Spence...they might actually survive!"

He scruffs my hair and laughs, wrapping his arm around my shoulder.

"You're so cruel, little sis!"
