Sup peoples! Sorry I didn't update the past two days! We got a new carpet in our house, and they had to unplug the wifi.. oh wait, you don't care.
Oh, and I started a new fic called iFight Gibby. You should read it. But be warned, this story contains a shirtless mermaid!
DISCLAIMER: Tra la la la la, iCarly ain't mine.
Chapter 7: Freddie POV
We finally pulled up to the Marriot hotel in Jackson New Jersey. It was at least 8:00, and we should've been here by 6:00, but we had to make so many stops for food that the trip took four hours instead of two. Stupid blonde-headed-demon.
We all got out of the purple Lexus and stretched, it felt good to be out of the car. Spence opened the trunk and we grabbed our bags, then started trudging towards the lobby.
Outside they had a sign advertising their all- day- all- you- can –eat- buffet, and Sam went crazy. She jumped up and down and started running towards the entrance. How she had all that energy after a full day of traveling beats me.
When we walked in the first thing I noticed was Sam hunched over a large table that was full of food. I smirked to myself; Sam was probably in heaven right now. Spencer went over to the check-in counter, and Carly followed to make sure that he didn't set anything on fire.
Instead of going over to join Sam at the buffet, I just stood there and watched her. How come I never noticed how beautiful she was? Aggressive and violent, yes, but also funny, beautiful, and nice. Well, she was only nice if she was your friend and it could be convenient, but still.
Even I'm kinda shocked that I'm saying these things about her, but hanging out with her today has really opened my eyes to the truth. Maybe my "hate" for her was never really hate. Maybe this is just a game that I've been playing all these years, chasing after Carly because she seemed like such a perfect girl, and running away from Sam because she wasn't exactly like other girls. Even though I realized a long time ago that my feelings for Carly were gone, I hadn't stopped chasing after her. Why? Because I was afraid to learn more about Sam, and see that maybe she was the perfect girl in disguise, by being not perfect.
I hadn't even noticed Spencer, Carly and Sam calling my name, until Sam came over and lifted me off the ground and over her shoulder.
As my world turned upside down, I felt like laughing at her unusual strength, but I didn't dare cause she might drop me. I don't wanna get a concussion again. So instead of laughing I yelled, "How do you do this!" She put me down in front of the elevator, right next to Carly and Spencer. She smirked and put her hands on her hips.
"What, so if you can carry me I can't carry you, just cause I'm a girl?" Her question caught me off-guard. I didn't mean to make it sound like I was being sexist…
"No, I'm sorry, I didn't mean…" He cut me off with a wave of her hand.
"It's fine, Fredweird. I know that you're just impressed my epic strength." How did she know?
The elevator doors opened and we grabbed our bags and piled into the big elevator. This thing was huge, it could probably fit at least fifteen people.
There were two old ladies in the elevator as well, they were at least eighty-five. Spencer pushed the button for the 25th floor, and we started going up.
The elevator stopped at the next floor to let some guy in his mid-twenties get on. We all had to step back a little bit to make room for him, and I accidently stepped on Sam's toe. Shoot, I shouldn't have done that. Now there'd be consequences.
"Watch where you're going, Freddork!" She slammed her foot onto mine, and pain exploded in my foot.
"Ouch! I'm sorry Sam, it was an accident!" She growled at me and socked me in the arm.
"OW! That was NOT necessary! You know I don't need all this torturing! If my mom knew about this-"
"Oh who cares what your mom thinks! She more annoying than even YOU sometimes! You know what I'd like to do to her? I'd-" She was cut off by one of the old ladies who was standing next to us.
"STOP!" He raspy old person voice yelled. "You two are going to break my hearing aid! Stop fighting and both of you apologize to each other RIGHT NOW."
Sam stifled a laughter and said, "I'm so, so sorry Freddame." Sam apologized. She murmured under her breath, "It's not my fault your such a dork."
The old lady obviously didn't hear her, I guess her hearing aid really WAS breaking. "Now you, sonny, must apologize."
"Sam, I'm sorry that I stepped on your foot." I said. Then I whispered, "I'm also sorry that you have uncontrollable anger issue's and can't go a day without insulting me and my mother!"
Apparently, the old lady heard that last remark and hit me with her purse. Sam snickered and she got hit too. Uh oh, bad mistake old lady. Sam put her angry face on and lunged forward, but I grabbed her shoulders and pulled her away.
"Sam!" I hissed. "You can't attack an old lady!" She looked annoyed but held back her punch.
The door binged, and the old ladies started shuffling out of the elevator. I heard one of them whisper, "Those two remind me of you and your husband… what's his name again?"
"Hmm… I forget. But yes, they are just like we were back in the day!" I couldn't hear the rest of their conversation, but I felt my cheeks turn warm. We do not fight like a married couple! Do we…?
I glanced over at Sam, and she must've heard too. Her head was looking down at the floor, but I could see the blush on her cheeks. She looked so pretty when she was embarrassed…
The elevator opened onto our floor, and we all stumbled out.
"What number is our room?" Carly asked Spence.
"Well, we have a split room since I can't have kids the same age of the opposite gender in the same room. Me and Freddo's room is 162, and Carls and Sam have room 163." Dang it! I was hoping that I could be in the same room as Sam.
When we found the rooms, Spence said, "Carly, here's your room key, and Sam here's one for you too. Your door is right next to ours, and there is a door connecting our rooms inside. So after your done putting your bags away, come join me and Freddie so we can decide what to do tomorrow."
Sam and Carly nodded and unlocked their room. I could hear Sam gasping and the sound of a bed being jumped on, and I smiled. I was really excited too, since I never stayed in a hotel. My mom was always afraid of hotel's being dirty and full of bugs. But this place seemed fine to me.
Spencer turned to me and started jumping up and down like a little kid on Christmas. "I can't wait to see what it looks like!" I smiled at his antics and unlocked the door. We ran in and I couldn't believe my eyes. The room had two king-sized beds, a giant TV, a refrigerator, and a desk. The bathroom was enormous, and best of all, there were those tiny little pillow chocolates. I bet Sam ate hers already. Just to be safe I hid mine under my pillow so she couldn't steal them.
Speaking of Sam, her and Carly just walked in, their faces filled with excitement. "Did you see the bathroom!" "Did you see the refrigerator!"
After everyone calmed down, we all sat down my and Spencer's beds to discuss our plan for tomorrow. Sam sat with me on my bed, which I was thrilled about, while Carly sat with Spence.
In the end, we decided that tomorrow, after we have breakfast, Spencer will drop me, Sam, and Carls off at Six Flags, then he's gonna meet up with Socko and the two of them are gonna search for the beavecoon.
Carly and Sam retired to their room, and I got into my pj's, which consisted of an oversized T-shirt and boxers. Spencer turned the TV on and we watched the news for a little while.
"Hey Spence, did you try one of those pillow chocolate's yet?"
"No, but I want to. Let us feast on the delightfully goodness of the delicious coco bean." Umm… okay?
We went to our pillows to retrieve the chocolates. I put my hand under my pillow, where I had stashed them. I felt nothing. I frowned and lifted the pillow. They were gone! How could they… Sam. No wonder she sat on my bed, she just wanted to steal my chocolate!
Apparently she stole Spencer's too, for her couldn't find his either.
He pouted out his lower lip and whined, "I wanted my chocolate!" He stomped his feet like a five year old and sat down in defeat.
"Spence, I'm pretty sure that Sam took our chocolate." He put on a face that I rarely ever saw him use. Anger.
"Well, then we'll get her back!"
I was stunned. How could we get her back? She was the prank master. "How do we do that?" I asked.
He grinned evilly and told me his plan. It just might work. And the best part was that we got to prank Carly too.
After we made sure that the girls were asleep, Spencer snuck outside of our room and I quietly went into Sam and Carly's room.
I stood in between their beds and shook both of them. "Carly! Sam! Wake up!"
Carly immediately sat up and said, "What did Spencer do!"
"Umm… nothing." Of course she assumes that Spencer did something wrong.
Sam was still lightly snoring, so I went over to her bed. God, she looked she peaceful when she slept… did I really wanna wake her up? Snap out of it! I told myself. Right, I was on a mission.
"Sam! Wake up! Ms. Briggs is coming your way!" That's how I got her to wake up at school, and it worked now too.
She looked around, then sighed in relief. She gave me a look and said, "What do want Benson?"
I looked at both of them and yelled, "You'll never believe this! Spencer was just in the lobby asking for more shampoo, and BRAD PIT walked in! Apparently he's filming a part of some new movie right here in this hotel!"
"NO WAY!" Carly screamed. She got up and started running out the room, with Sam following behind her, but she walked instead.
I quickly retreated into my room before they could come back and hurt me. I waited by the door to hear the screams. Nothing came. Huh, maybe Spence decided to meet them in the lobby instead of the elevator. You see, he was going to pop out on them in his monster costume (don't ask) and scare the chiz out of them. I shrugged and went to the bathroom to brush my teeth.
Five minutes later Spencer still wasn't back, I figured that maybe Carly was lecturing him in the lobby about scaring people. I was practically falling asleep now, so I decided to just go to bed and rest my eyes until he came back. I went over to my bed and pulled back the covers. I nearly had a heart attack when I saw Sam laying under them and smiling evilly at me.
"Hello, Freddie." She said, her voice as cold as ice.
""Oh, um, hi Sam, n-nice to see you. Was my bed comfy?" I stammered.
"Oh, shut it, Benson. I know that you tried to prank me. But once again, you failed miserably. I put a stop to your little plan, including teaching Spencer his lesson. You know that Mamma plays to win." I gulped. Those words sounded familiar. She grabbed my shirt and brought me closer to her. But she didn't hit me or anything, she just stared at me. Wait… why is she looking at me like that…? Did she want to kiss me! Yes, that must be it! Excitement bloomed within me. Would her lips feel the same way they had last year? I started leaning forward, closing my eyes. I puckered my lips and waited anxiously for the warmth of hers to land on them. But after a while I realized that I was kissing the air, and that Sam was no longer holding my shirt.
I opened my eyes to find her blushing, but when she saw me open my eyes, she smirked at me. Holy chiz, I just completely embarrassed myself! I looked down, mortified. She raised her hand up and slapped my cheek so hard it stung.
She turned to leave, but I grabbed her shoulder. "Wait, that's it? Just a slap? Nothing more?"
"Benson, I'm too tired. Your attempt at a prank was pathetic, it wouldn't be satisfying to do something horrible to you. Just not worth my time." Phew! I thought that I was in big trouble for a second there…
She opened the door to her room, and turned around one last time. "Oh, and Freddie, those are some pretty cool boxers. " She smirked. And with that, she closed the door.
A/N: WOW, that was long! I hope you're all happy. :P
Now, this was originally supposed to be a short filler chapter. It was a filler chapter, but I never expected to add the whole elevator and prank parts.
Next chapter we're gonna get to the good stuff! : )
