I love all the reviews I'm receiving, as always! I'm getting so many readers and I'm forever grateful for it. So here's another chapter and I hope you like it. I'll be writing more I promise.

Disclaimer: Of course I don't own iCarly but I kinda wish I could make it have more Creddie!

Sam went to California with her boyfriend in tow. She loved every minute of it, especially after seeing a grocery market near their hotel. She assumed it had to have plenty of meat for the both of them for the whole trip long. She decided to explore San Diego just a little bit before the party, wanting to get a quick tan before she went anywhere important.

While she walked along the beach, hand in hand with her boyfriend, she saw a girl that looked a lot like Carly. This girl was playing a game of beach volley ball with some other people with her. One guy with blonde hair Sam noticed kept looking at Carly. Sam rolled her eyes, knowing Carly would never be into that kind of guy. So she figured it couldn't be Carly. The idea was absurd anyway. Still, she had promised to keep in contact with Freddie.

"Honey, would you go get me a hot dog? I'm starving!"

"But we just ate Sam," he complained then got a glare from her and ran to get one for her. She pulled out her phone and texted Freddie real quick.

"Hey dork, I just saw a girl that looked like Carly. Guess I'm seeing things or something. How's boring Seattle?"

It didn't take long for a reply to come back but her boyfriend came back before she could reply to him. She scarfed down the hot dog then asked him to get another one, with a small smile. He shrugged and went to get another.

"Are you serious? Go see if it's really Carly. You've been right before. Remember Jenny?"

Sam laughed. She had found her cousin Jenny by accident after fighting over a hamburger order at a local restaurant. Sam always trusted her instincts and this one told her that this girl was Carly Shay. But when she turned around to look back, the volley ball game had ended and everyone had left. Sam frowned. Better luck next time Puckett she thought to herself.

"Sorry Freddork, she left already."

The day of the party came up a few days later and Carly felt overwhelmed by all the people there. She had never seen so many people in one place for one guy before. So she just stuck next to Bryan, trying not to get lost. Then she heard something she hadn't heard in almost a year. She could swear on her life that it was Sam's laughter. Bryan noticed her confused face.

"Are you ok Carly?" he asked, concerned.

"Hmm? Oh yeah I'm fine. I just thought I heard something…I think I need something to drink."

"Ok, I'll go get something. Stay here, ok?"

Carly nodded and put a hand to her head. She felt a headache coming on. Headaches always came when she thought about Seattle. Time didn't heal all wounds obviously. Or maybe it was that she needed to go back to settle everything and then come back to California for good, never looking back again. That could cause potential problems she knew. Bryan came back with some punch and Carly smiled gratefully at him.

Sam had to go see the birthday boy who had invited her. He was the son of one of her mom's ex boyfriends who was obviously still in love with her mom. The thought made her want to puke but she still loved to party! So she searched out Bryan, who was surrounded by a bunch of people.

"Excuse me people! Let me through!" She pushed through the crowd to where Bryan was and stopped suddenly when she saw the girl next to him. This girl saw her too and for a few minutes they just stood shocked to see each other.
