Disclaimer: I do not own iCarly
A/N: Okay so here's the next chap of iJe T'aime. Sorry this took so long, I have an excuse. My internet was out for almost a week so I couldn't post updates. Okay I know I could have written them anyway and post it all up when the internet returned but to be honest, I was reading twilight. Yes, I'm guilty as charged. Again I'm so sorry.
Airports and Airplanes
"Come on where is she. She ditching me isn't she." Freddie sighed as he waited at the airport for Sam to arrive. Beside him was Mrs Benson, anxious that she even allowed for Freddie to go on this trip in the first place. Carly and Spencer was there to send the two off. Their flight was at one but it was still very early.
"Freddie calm down. It's still early. She won't ditch you. Just chillax." Carly said as she walked over to the frantic Freddie. "You know Sam, she's late for almost everything."
"I guess but…" Freddie said. Before Carly cut him off.
"No buts. She's coming alright." Carly exclaimed, tired of Freddie's panicky mindset.
"Yeah Freddo don't worry." Spencer said.
"Okay I guess." Freddie said as he took a deep breath to calm himself down. Ten minutes passed but still no sign of Sam. With each passing minute, Freddie slowly reverted to his frenzied state.
"There she is." Mrs Benson shouted when she saw Sam and Sarah Puckett enter the airport. Freddie turned his head towards their direction and a wave of relief washed over him. He ran over to Sam to help her with her luggage.
"Here let me take that." He said before yanking the bag out of her hand.
"I can carry my own bag dork." Sam said and Freddie, trying to respect Sam's decisions, held out the bag for Sam to take. She gave him a look of disbelief. "Um I said I COULD carry doesn't mean I WANT to carry it." Freddie laughed.
"Oh Sorry. Why are you so late anyway?" Freddie asked, curious to find out.
"Oh my mom's car wouldn't start so we had to take a cab." Sam explained before turning to her mother.
"What, I forgot to fill the truck up with gas. It's a common situation." Sarah Puckett defended herself.
"You should get a prius. They run great. That is if your neighbour doesn't steal your car battery." Mrs Benson exclaimed before shooting a glare at Spencer. Everyone's eyes darted to see Spencer. He looked around and then smiled a nervous smile. Everyone laugh before proceeding to the check-in counter.
They waited in line till they were up and followed the airport staff's instructions. They soon checked in their bags and got their boarding passes.
"Okay so I guess we're ready to go." Freddie said. He and Sam were standing on one side while everyone else stood on the other to say their farewells. Freddie took a step to his mother first who was at the extreme right.
"Okay mom. You sure you're not going to freak out while I'm not here?" Freddie asked.
"Yeah. But I still don't understand how you convinced me to allow you on this trip." Mrs Benson said.
"I'll be careful, just don't worry."
"Okay, just make sure you wear anti-bacterial underpants."
"MOM!" Freddie whined. "Not in front of everyone." Freddie stood there blushing. Sam went to her mom first on the extreme left.
"So mom, you remember where you left the house key right and the money for food is on the kitchen counter." Sam said.
"Yeah yeah I know. Seriously sometimes you treat me like a child you know that." She smiled before pulling Sam in for a hug. Sam and Freddie proceeded to the middle so they could say goodbye to Carly.
"So make sure you two have fun." Carly said. "And don't forget to take pictures, I want to see them." Spencer added.
"We will." The two said in unison.
"Oh and you brought your laptop right?" Carly asked and Freddie nodded. "Well come online everyday so we can video chat. You have your web cam?" Carly asked.
"Yes mom." Freddie mocked.
"Okay well, you're nine hours ahead so call when it's 10 at night there. I'll make sure to be home everyday. Don't forget to get me a souvenir." Sam nodded.
"Okay so if that's it I guess we should get going." Freddie said. They walked towards the departure hall before turning to beat farewell to the rest. Mrs Benson was starting to cry there and Sam couldn't help but feel sorry for her. They walked towards their gate as the group slowly faded behind the crowd of people.
They approached the gate and Freddie couldn't help but notice that Sam was a little green. He didn't think much about it and didn't ask questions. They waited for the plane to board and sat in the waiting room. Sam hardly spoke and Freddie found it quite awkward. Soon there was an announcement saying what seats were being seated. Freddie looked at the boarding passes and stood up as he realised that their number was mentioned.
They walked down the small path that led to the airplane. They were greeted by an overly peppy stewardess who ushered them in the direction of their seats. Sam expected that they were flying coach and was surprised when they directed them to the first class section. When they reached their seats, Sam was still in shock. She snapped out of it when Freddie asked her if she would like the window seat. She nodded. They sat there in awkward silence.
"So…how did you manage first class tickets?" Sam asked trying to break the silence. The sound off passengers boarding could be heard behind them.
"Um it's kind of embarrassing." Freddie said.
"C'mon spill. I won't tell anyone." Sam held out her pinky finger. "I promise." Freddie laughed as he hooked his own pinky around hers.
"Fine. Well you see, my mom, she kind of works for the airplane company."
"Yeah but don't you have to have a high post or something to actually get first class tickets?" Sam asked.
"Yeah. She is kinda, the chief hygiene inspector for the company. We get free tickets every year. She didn't want to go anywhere this year, so I figured I might as well use them." He face turned crimson. He had never told anyone this as he saw it as embarrassing.
"Why are you blushing?"
"It's embarrassing."
"Are you kidding me? Embarrassing to have first class tickets every year? I wish I could have that." Sam said before smiling. Soon the realisation that she was on a plane dawned on her and she turned green again.
"Are you okay? You look kind of green." Freddie asked.
"Yeah, about that. I am, how would you say, a nervous flyer." Sam said.
"Huh? But when we went to Japan you were fine. And that plane was like a hundred times worst than this."
"Yeah well I went to the doctor before that trip and he prescribed me some relaxant which was why I was so calm. When we jumped out of the plane it was starting to wear off and hence I became a little jumpy." (a/n: Pardon the slight pun.) Sam said. "But I forgot to take them today. I was in such a rush I forgot about them."
"Ah I see. But don't worry about it. It's going to be fine." Freddie put his hand over Sam's. She looked at his hand and then at him.
"You're lucky I'm feeling sick right now or your hand would be broken by now." Freddie smirked and weaved his fingers with Sam's.
"Well then, I guess I should make the most of it." Sam rolled her eyes and looked out the window. She hated to admit it but the feel of his hand on hers made her feel better.
A/N: Okay that was the next chap. Again I'm sorry I took so long to update. Please forgive me. Anyway, hope you enjoyed the chap. I initially wanted to include an airline but I figured that I would be biased towards Singapore airlines and I wanted them to be on the A380 but thought out of it since I have no idea what the interior of the A380 is like, but I do know they have suites. But let's not have them get too intimate now.
Also, I have a request, If any of you have been to paris recently please tell me the popular attractions. I only went there when I was five and I can't remember a thing. I could do my own research but help would result in faster updates. Please review.
