Hey guys! Sorry about the long wait, I've been busy all week so I wasn't able to hook up my computer. Hope this chapter will make up for that.
Also, it seems Season 4 will be premiering a little early this time... July 30! Confirmed by iCarly's Facebook and Twitter. Only a few weeks to go!
Anyway, let's just continue with the story...
Disclaimer: Never owned iCarly, never will. But I do own the plot and made-up characters.
7:04 PM
After 10 minutes of walking, Gibby arrived in front of Bushwell Plaza. He was supposed to hand over a video to the iCarly trio for use in their webshow. He went inside the lobby and saw Lewbert reading some kind of magazine. He noticed his presence and screamed.
"ARGGHHH, A CHUBBY FREAK IN MY LOBBY!" Lewbert yelled and stormed towards his office.
Gibby looked around the room but found no one else. "Freak? Nothin' else here but good ol' Gibby." Then he started to head upstairs.
After climbing some stairs and walking down some hallways, he was finally in front of Apartment 8-C's door. He knocked on it but there was no answer. He tried again but it was still quiet.
"Hey! It's me, Gibby!" He said, expecting an answer. Nothing came.
"Anybody home?" He reached for the knob and realized it wasn't locked. He opened the door and saw someone sitting on the couch. It was Freddie, who was a big mess. At least he doesn't look as worse as when Sam beats him up. Speaking of the blonde-headed demon, she was next to him sleeping, her head resting on his shoulder.
"Freddie?" He said, but he didn't respond. He just kept staring blankly into space. "Oh my god…" Gibby said and rushed towards the table.
"A plate of ham on the table and Sam didn't eat it?" He said and took a piece of ham that wasn't touched for 3 hours.
"Gibby?" A weak voice said. Gibby turned around and realized it was Freddie. He went towards him.
"Freddie! Freddie!" He said and shook him a little. Nothing. He lifted him off the couch, Sam fell off in the process. She only adjusted her position and continued sleeping. Gibby dragged Freddie to the kitchen and laid him down the chair. He started to shake him again but he wouldn't snap out of his trance.
"Dude!" He said. Not knowing what else to do, he slapped him hard on the face.
"Gibby…" Freddie responded. SLAP!
"Gibby." He said, awake this time. SLAP!
"GIBBY!" He yelled. Gibby stepped back from his sudden outburst but he was relieved.
"What happened to you bro?" He asked, and sniffed Freddie's face. "And why does your face smell like strawberries?"
He started to rub his cheeks with his hands and smelled them, then he answered. "Strawberry chap stick…"
"You use lipstick?" Gibby asked,
"Sam kissed me on the face..." Freddie said. Gibby looked at him like he was crazy and slapped him again.
"Owww! What was that for?" Freddie asked while rubbing his cheek.
"Sorry, just checking if you're awake."
"I am awake!" He exclaimed and noticed Gibby's look at him. "And why are you looking at me like that?"
"Dude, it's hard to imagine that Sam is doing that to you."
Before Freddie can respond, someone grabbed him from the back and hugged him tightly. "Freddie!" Sam greeted and kissed him on the cheek. He blushed as a result. Sam let go and saw Gibby looking at them, his jaw hung wide open. Her smile quickly turned into a frown. "Gibby…" She hissed. "What are you doing here, you loser?"
"J-just… uhh…" He only stuttered, afraid and in a state of shock.
"Let me just talk to Gibby for a sec, alright?" Freddie said and put his hands on Sam's shoulder. She glanced at him and looked back at Gibby.
"Okay…" She said and headed towards the couch. She lied down and turned on the TV, quickly forgetting about the two guys in the kitchen.
"See?" Freddie shot an 'I-told-you-so' look. Gibby can only reply with one word.
"Weird..."
"Why did you come here, anyway?" He asked.
"Oh, cause…" He reached for his left pocket and got out a small USB flashdrive. "I got the video you need for the next iCarly here." He handed it to Freddie.
"I see… thanks Gib." Then he went to the computer on the counter and turned it on. After starting up, he inserted the USB and searched for the video. A brief moment of silence ensued.
"Where's Carly and Spencer?" Gibby asked out of nowhere.
"They're just getting some stuff to help return Sam to normal." Freddie replied. He found the video and clicked on it. His eyes turned wide as saucers while watching.
"Well, good luck with that..." Gibby said while looking around the apartment.
"Um, Gibby?"
"Yeah?" He turned around and saw the video Freddie was watching. He panicked slightly before quickly approaching.
"This is a video of you-"
"Hey, don't watch it!" He quickly closed the application and ejected the USB. He looked at it before putting it on the counter top. "Looks like I got the wrong USB..."
After that, the door opened and the Shay siblings came through, carrying a lot of heavy bags. Sam and Gibby were the only ones to hear them come in, as Freddie was focused checking on the iCarly website. "We're back!" They greeted.
"Hey." Sam greeted weakly, her attention on the TV.
"'Sup guys?" Gibby greeted.
"Gibster! What are you doing here?" Spencer asked and went to the kitchen table. He laid down the bags he and Carly were carrying.
"Well, I was just-"
"I'm sorry Gibby, but we're a little busy right now so-" Carly interrupted him but before she can finish, Spencer spoke up.
"Wait! I could use a hand here, so if Gibby wouldn't mind-"
"I'm in!" He yelled. Spencer motioned him to come over and they started to work.
"We just love interrupting each other, don't we?" Carly said before going the living room. She sat on the couch beside Sam and watched TV with her. After a while,
"We should have a sleepover." Carly suggested.
"Actually, I was wondering if..." Sam hesitated a bit but continued. "I can sleep with him tonight." She then glanced at Freddie, who was typing on the keyboard. She smiled and Carly sighed.
"You do know that his mom is gonna freak out when she sees you sleeping with her 'precious baby'?" She said, trying to change her mind.
"But-"
"I'll give you my beef jerky if you sleep here." She offered.
"Deal!"
"Okay, go upstairs and get changed." Carly ordered.
"Yes, mom." Sam then got up and rushed to the stairs. "Make sure to bring the jerky!" She yelled from upstairs. Carly smiled and turned off the TV. She saw Freddie working on the computer and went near him but he didn't notice her presence. He turned his seat around and saw her standing in front of him.
"When did you get here?" He asked. She was about to reply when she smelled a faint scent of strawberries on his face. She wondered why but remembered that Sam always uses strawberry lipstick. A huge grin then spread on her face.
"Why do you smell like strawberries?" She asked. He was silent, as if trying to come up with an excuse.
"No particular reason…" He then stood up and went towards the door.
"You made out with Sam, didn't you?" She asked bluntly. He stopped dead on his tracks and became a little pale. She got in front of him and crossed her arms on her chest.
"Your hair looks nice..." He said, desperate in changing the subject.
"Freddie!" She said. He let out a sigh and gave up.
"...Alright, yes." He admitted. Her grin got even wider and decided to take it further.
"You like it?" She asked. He was surprised at her question and gave her a weird look.
"What? That is the stupidest thing you ever said!" He said, trying his best to sound normal. But she saw through his disguise.
"You like it, don't you?" She asked again. It was silent for a minute before he managed to answer.
"Maybe... even though she was pushy." He said. After hearing that, she squealed and jumped up and down like a little girl. He got annoyed at her reaction.
"Look, that doesn't change a thing. When that cologne is finished, Sam will be Sam again." She stopped and frowned at his statement. "As in, Sam that beats me up for my lunch money." He added. She only giggled at his description.
"Anyway, I'm going home." He then proceeded towards the exit.
"Alright, we'll take care of it from here. Night!" She said and waved goodbye.
"Night..." He said as the door closed. Carly decided to go to the kitchen to check up on the two but noticed the USB sitting on the counter. She plugged it in the computer and checked on its contents. After some searching, she saw the video Freddie was watching earlier.
"Hey Gib, is this the video we asked you to bring over?" She asked and clicked on it.
"Wait Carly, that's not-" He warned but it was too late. Her jaw was already hanging wide open.
"Oh my god!" She said, a little disgusted at the video.
Unknown to the whole group however, is that someone else was watching them. With the help of a spycam he secretly installed in the Shay apartment, he was able to see their every move on his monitor and unfortunately, Spencer's cologne caught his attention.
"Hmm, it seems Carly's older brother accidentally made a love potion of some sorts…" He said, while patting his pet porcupine's head. "Interesting, isn't it Mr. Tibbals?" He took a carrot out of his pocket and fed the porcupine with it.
"Good boy."
"Nevel, is that porcupine back there again?" His mother asked, her voice loud enough to hear in his room. Yup, ladies and gentlemen, this 'spy' is none other than Nevel Papperman.
"No, mother!" He yelled back. He went back to his observation.
"Just imagine if I get my hands on that potion… Carly will be all mine!" He said and let out an evil laugh. "The kiss I seek will soon become a reality!" He then got his phone and dialed a number.
"Raoul? Yes, it is me. Tell Alfonso that I have a job for both of you."
"Nevel, did you finish brushing your teeth?" Nevel's mother asked again. He got annoyed by her mother's pestering and let out a loud groan.
"YES, MOTHER!" He yelled as he put down his phone.
So, what is our little villain planning? Will things take a turn for the worse? And what the heck was in Gibby's video? Find out in the next update... (except for the video, it's up to you to guess what it was)
