Thanks once again for the amazing reviews. They mean a lot to me.
Just a little update. Most likely I'll be updating small parts from time to time so that I won't keep you waiting so much.
Chapter 23!
Chapter 23
"We still have 30 minutes to the show." I said as I got up in the studio to prep my equipment.
It kinda took me a while to do so since Spencer has been in my stuff lately and a lot of stuff is off.
As Carly and Sam prepared the props for the show, Carly looked in my direction.
"We can't have you looking like that today Freddie!" Carly said obviously panicking due to the time constraint.
"What? I don't show on screen a lot anyway because you guys won't let me. Oh, sorry Carly. SAM won't let me."
Sam shot a death glare straight at my direction. She got up and her fists curled up.
Then I saw Sam run straight out of the studio. Not again!
I left my tech cart and started to run after Sam but I was stopped by Carly.
"You stay here and do whatever you need to do with your... whatever... and I'll go after Sam." Carly said and went out the door.
"But I was the one that said those things!"
"Shush! Stay put Freddie I'm warning you!"
I threw my hands up in surrender.
Why can't I just keep my mouth shut for once? I guess I just got used to the whole revenge thing a lot.
I sighed and resumed working on my stuff.
Lighting was off and out of sync, the camera's color levels were distorted and my computer? I don't know what he did but he sure made a mess of it. Good thing I always have a back-up of everything we shot and did.
As I was going through the stuff I heard the door swing open.
"So did you find Sam?" I said without taking my eyes off the screen.
No one answered so I looked and then I was instantly held by the hand and dragged onto the beanbag.
"Sam?"
"Stay still Fredduccini." Sam said as she shoved me onto the beanbag.
She started to take the bandage off my face. She then ripped off the tape that was holding the bandage in place.
"Ouch."
"Stop being a wuss Benson."
She was holding a red box which was oddly familiar to me. She opened it up and took out something to clean my bruises with.
"Is that my mom's first aid kit?"
"Yeah got a problem?" Sam said as she wet the cotton with the cleaning agent.
I shook my head. I don't know how she did it, but she did it.
Sam knelt in front of me and then started to clean my bruises.
It stung a bit but it was bearable.
What are the odds of Sam doing this?
Unknown.
But strangely enough it was relaxing but also uncomfortable, seeing the position that we were in.
She looked really into it and determined.
She held me by the shoulder as she used one hand to wipe my wounds while she bit her lip meaning that she was really focused.
One of the things I did like about her is her will and determination. If she started something, she would see it until the end.
Wait... Did I just think of that?
"Why are you doing this?" I asked.
"It's already embarrassing enough to be saved by you so I'm just returning the favor, so stop squirming!" Sam said and then smacked me in the arm.
"I get it! I get it! Jeez Sam." I said trying to feint hurt.
"I know it didn't hurt you Fredword so stop pretending." Sam said as she finished cleaning my bruise.
Then Sam reached for her hind pocket. It was a bottle of foundation.
"Make-up?"
"No, its food. Duhhh dweeb." Sam said sarcastically as she rolled her eyes.
I just rolled my eyes in reply to the sarcastic comment.
Sam opened the bottle and put a little on her fingers, then started to smear it across my face.
"Now you can show all your nubiness to the whole world." Sam said as she replaced the cap then placed it back to her pocket.
"Let me just check you nubbish fa-" Sam said and then suddenly my eyes caught hers and then the world stopped.
She was there kneeling before me with arms to my sides, staring into my eyes like she's seeing something.
My mind just shut off, all logic and rational thinking just went out the window about a moment ago.
Suddenly I felt feelings well up from inside me. Unknown and foreign ones, bad feelings? I can't say. But one thing is for sure. Something attracts me to her. Like the times she got attacked, I just had this feeling that I had to save her, protect her from harm and do everything it takes to keep her safe. It can't be pity no. Probably that I just really see her as my best friend? I guess so.
With this thinking I had to do something to stop this awkwardness. But I was saved from the effort of doing so.
The door flew open.
"I can't see Sam anywh-" Carly said and then stopped, "What's going on here?" Carly said.
I looked at Sam.
"Uh thanks Sam." I said and then shifted off the beanbag.
Sam got up simultaneously and then dusted herself off from any dust that may have clinged on her pants.
"I was just putting make-up on the Nub Lord here, so that he can announce his nubbish presence to the whole world." Sam said as if nothing happened.
"Oh-kay." Carly said clearly still doubting.
So I just simply added.
"Yeah, what she said." and then returned to the tech cart to resume my work.
Sam went to the other side of the room trying to look busy with the props.
Carly clearly was confused. Sam doesn't fiddle with props. It's either she's late or she plants herself on the beanbag until the webcast starts.
If Carly were to ask something now, I would most likely be caught in the middle of it so I had to do something.
"iCarly starts in 5 minutes" I reminded and it sent Carly back into panic mode. Thank God it worked.
"Do I look okay?" She turned to me.
I nodded. Then she turned to Sam "SAM! DO I LOOK OKAY?"
"Stop getting your pants in a bunch Carlotta, you look fine." Sam said and returned to the beanbag with a smoothie in hand.
"Where'd you get the smoothie?" Carly asked.
"I just saw it here on the table." Sam said as she pointed toward the table with her thumb.
"That was my smoothie! Nevermind... Let's just get ready for the show." Carly said.
"Chillax Carls. Nubbie-boy is here. Just breathe." Sam said with a slurp.
Carly then stopped and took sharp inhales and exhales.
"One minute." I said and took the cam from the cart and turned it on.
Sam got up and thew the smoothie out the window and then Carly smoothed out her dress.
"We are going live in 5..4..3..2.."
Sam and Carly stared at the camera.
"What are you doing?" I said without making a sound hoping that they could read my lips.
Carly and Sam stared into the camera with eyes squinted.
After another moment of brief silence they moved.
"Did you read our thoughts?" Carly chirped while she zoned in the camera.
"Did you? Did you?" Sam chimed in.
"So then you must know that this is..."
"iCarly!" Carly and Sam shouted in unison.
Sam pressed a button on the remote and then sounds of applause, cheering and whistling filled the room.
Carly started to do a happy dance.
"Why so happy Carly?" Sam asked.
"Well it seems that a certain someone came back to the show!" Carly said as she started jumping up and down.
"Is it your dad?" Sam said.
Carly stopped. "Uh... no." She answered and then turned to the camera. "He happens to be the one holding the camera right now! Come on over here!"
I switched to the B cam and placed the cam back on the cart.
I jumped into view.
"Hello America! and hello world!" I exclaimed.
Then the studio was filled with boos. I looked at Sam.
Carly did the same.
"What? I just gotten used to pressing that button each time you come into view." Sam pressed the button again and the boos were replaced with cheers.
Carly frowned a bit but returned to looking at the camera.
"Freddie just got back from his trip and he is here to stay! Woooooo!" Carly said.
"Let's not get carried away." Sam said and pushed me off screen.
"But Sam I-"
"Just shut up and get back to your place." Sam said.
"and on with the show!" Sam said and pushed a button.
"RANDOM DANCING!"
lights wizzed and whirled with random soundtracks sprayed together filled the studio and two girls dancing randomly in-tune.
I just smiled and shrugged. Is this it? Nope.
My mission is still on its way.
Thanks again for all the reviews! I'm really sorry for the short post but please tell me more about what you think so far for this chapter!
