Chapter 35 (Role Play: The Downfall of iCarly)

The following week went by pretty well, any excuse Freddie and Sam had to go on a date was used as Freddie going on a date with Valerie. Of course, they couldn't really go anywhere that people knew them because of the fact that it would look like they were having an affair, and that wouldn't be a good thing to get caught up on.

Anytime Freddie talked about Valerie in reference to dating, it was usually when he was talking about what he and Sam had done. So far, he and Sam went to the picnic. He and Sam went to the amusement park, they went to an archery class together, and several other things. They were pretty much free for the time being. Sam was going to enjoy when it would come her turn to not have to be so private about her dates. After all, it was always nice to share these kinds of things with friends.

Sam, Freddie, Valerie, and Jonah all met behind the school, they were discussing what had to happen today. It would be about Valerie's webshow, only it was actually going to be done on Tuesday nights, that fact wasn't known to Carly or anyone else. She had to appear to talk Freddie into shooting her webshow on Thursday nights. Only, that wasn't the hard part. The hard part was how they were supposed to seal the deal. She had to give him a kiss on the cheek, and he had to appear dazed. They knew he'd be asked if he kissed her, and he knew he had kissed Sam quite often in the duration of the week, so he could answer yes.

"Okay, listen, it's just the cheek," Sam said while placing a hand on Freddie's shoulder. "Also, it's coming from Valerie who is also dating Jonah, it won't mean a thing. We want someone to see, of course everyone in the hall is going to see the whole transaction, so that'll be good. If you're still uncomfortable, we can not do the whole kissing thing. Don't spare my feelings, though. I know it's not real."

"Okay, I'm fine with it," Freddie said in a quiet voice. Valerie gave a brief nod and looked toward the school, they should be heading in. "Let's go inside, and everyone to your places."

"Let's do this." The couples parted from that spot. Freddie and Sam entered the school to find Carly. They smiled at her as they walked toward the locker.

"So Freddie, you've been dating Valerie all week?" Carly asked. Freddie smirked and placed his hands in his pocket.

"Yep, I've dated Valerie every night of the week so far. In fact, I'd say we're almost officially boyfriend and girlfriend." He had to stop himself from saying fiancé, since Sam was the one running in his mind at the moment. Sam smirked and turned toward Freddie.

"So which one are you?" He rolled his eyes and Carly smiled.

"So have you kissed her yet?" Carly asked in an interested voice. Sam nearly choked at Carly's question, Freddie wasn't too comfortable with it either. He thought of his days with Sam and smirked.

Maybe, a little," Freddie replied.

"No way! Did she puke?" Sam asked in a quick and energetic voice. Freddie had to refrain from laughing, since he knew Sam never puked when it came to his kisses.

"Was it this kind of kiss?" Carly asked as she did a quick peck in the air. Sam paled slightly and looked toward Carly, feeling her heart starting to pound. "Or was it like this?" Carly bent slightly and started doing rapid kisses in the air. A very faint and tiny whisper pleading to stop escaped Sam's throat, but it was unheard. Freddie could tell the scene was starting to bother her, so he was about to change the topic when he heard Jeremy sneeze.

"Hey Jeremy," Sam said, her voice cracking very slightly.

"You still have that cold, huh?" Carly asked. Jeremy nodded and looked toward Freddie.

"Hey Freddie, are you coming to the computer expo this weekend?" Jeremy asked.

"No," he replied. "I'm going roller skating with S-Valerie." Sam rolled her eyes and smiled at Freddie's near mess up, at least he caught himself.

"Oh, well then maybe we could-" Jeremy started sneezing and coughing once more, he groaned and held his neck while walking away.

"I don't think I've ever seen that kid without a cold," Carly said while giving a slight laugh. Freddie sighed and walked over to where Valerie's locker was, now came the hard part for both of them.

"Hey Valerie."

"Hey J-Freddie," Valerie said while giving a nervous chuckle. She smiled and leaned against the locker. "Anyway, I was thinking about all that stuff you told me about the webshow, and I was thinking of starting one."

"Oh yeah? Well you should, it's a lot of fun." Freddie and Valerie knew they were being watched by Sam and Carly, their main concern was Sam. "All in the act of role playing."

"I would, but I don't know anything about all that techie stuff and I need someone to help me, do you think you could do it?"

"You mean you and me do a webshow together?"

"Yeah. We could start tomorrow night!" Freddie stopped and frowned, that couldn't work out well.

"But, tomorrow night is when I do iCarly."

"Oh…" Valerie put on the best dejected look that she could as she pressed her fingers together.

"Well, I can help you any other night!" Of course, the even harder part came, it never could grow easier. Valerie had to act like a total bitch, and she wasn't too fond of that.

"That's okay, I really want to do it tomorrow night."

"I know, but Carly and Sam are my friends, I can't just bail on them." Valerie shifted her body to the side slightly and sighed.

"Here I go." Valerie raised her eyebrow and shook her head. "From what you told me, Sam isn't your friend." Freddie sighed and frowned as Valerie continued. "You told me she's always calling you names and putting you down."

"I know, but she can't help it, she's just naturally vicious." They could see the people looking at them, so they knew they had to keep it up.

"And doesn't she always call you a button pushing monkey and that you're not important to the show?"

"Yeah, but…"

"Whatever, don't worry about it. I can always find someone else to help me." Valerie closed the locker door and started to walk away, stopping when Freddie told her to wait.

"I guess…I guess Carly and Sam can find another tech producer." Both he and Valerie gulped, this was going to be the harder part, and Sam was watching from nearby.

"Aw, that's my…Freddie…bear." Valerie thought of Jonah and Freddie thought of Sam, allowing her to walk to him and give him a quick peck on the cheek. She turned around and walked away as Jeremy walked to Freddie.

"Whoa, she kissed you," Jeremy said with a shocked tone of voice. "And she's not even your mom! Impressive."

"And now I want to make out with Sam," Freddie thought while starting to walk away. No doubt Valerie was thinking the same thing about Jonah.

-NEW SCENE-

Sam walked into the apartment and saw Freddie, she was going to praise him for a job well done. "Hey Freddie, I thought you did great earlier today," Sam said while smiling. "It looked so real too, but I'm glad it wasn't."

"Sam, you're home!" Freddie said in a quick voice. He quickly hugged Sam and pressed her back against the wall, she giggled lightly and Freddie pressed his lips against hers. He placed his hands on her waist and moved them up slightly. She moaned with pleasure as she placed her hands on his chest. He pulled back and she smiled at him.

"Freddie, wow…" She was breathless, she hadn't been expecting that. "What's gotten into you?"

"I just had to kiss the best friend of my girlfriend and the girlfriend of my best friend, so now I want to kiss you." Freddie started to kiss Sam's neck and she titled her head back against the wall, letting out more sighs of pleasure. She couldn't help it if she loved his touch. "By the way, I 'quit' iCarly."

"Okay…"

"Speaking of which, Carly probably is going to want to talk to you." As if on cue, Sam's phone rang with a text message. "Oh perfect, she just texted you."

"Yeah, well, it takes some time for me to get to her place from my place." Sam winked and threw her arms around Freddie, she kissed his lips and tucked her hands underneath his shirt, feeling of the six pack he was getting. She moved her hands up his chest and her eyes quickly opened. "Oh! We need to stop here!"

"You don't say." Freddie took a step back and sighed as Sam's arms fell to her side. "Sorry, I guess I got a little over excited…I mean, you go through what I went through, and you get that way."

"Yeah, I'm going to head over to Carly's now. Most likely I'll be seeing you in a little bit. So, see you, Dork." Freddie placed his hand on Sam's side as he gave her a quick kiss on the lips, she grabbed the doorknob and quickly exited.

-NEW SCENE-

The day after the next, Sam was at her locker. She actually wanted to maim Jeremy, but it wasn't his fault. Of course, Freddie could have chosen a better tech guy that Jeremy, but he did say he couldn't think of anyone. On this day, Valerie had to attempt to win Sam over to her webshow. This was where things would get 'catty' so to speak. At this point, the whole group was just having fun with it, especially since the nerve wracking kiss part was pretty much over.

Sam waited until Valerie decided to show up, it would take some time, since Valerie needed to figure out what she was going to say. All Sam had to do was glare at her as if she was Carly and she had just attempted to make out with Freddie. Though Valerie did hope that Sam would refrain from imagining that, for fear of Sam actually ripping her to shreds. Not only that, Freddie would probably get mad at Carly if she did try to kiss him. Nobody really wanted to see what would happen in that case.

Valerie figured out what she had to say and soon started heading for Sam's locker for the big showdown. Hopefully a big fight wouldn't happen, but it was bound to catch a few wondering eyes. This was going to be a fun thrill for both of the girls, since they were actually looking forward to it. Valerie quickly rounded the corner and saw Sam putting her materials into the locker. "Hey Sam!" Valerie said in a quick and peppy voice.

Sam stopped and looked at Valerie, glaring at her. "Hey," She responded.

"I saw iCarly the other night. Yikes." Sam narrowed her eyes and scoffed.

"I don't need your review right now." Sam slammed the locker shut and started walking away from Valerie, this action caused a few onlookers to glance over.

"Hey, don't be mad at me." Sam stopped and turned to glare at Valerie.

"No, I will be mad at you. You stole Freddie!" Valerie blinked and waited for Sam to continue. "And that hurt our show."

"Sam, you don't need iCarly."

"What do you mean-"

"Come do the webshow with me, iCarly's going to crash and burn without Freddie. I mean…duh…"

"You know, Carly happens to be my friend." The parts Valerie disliked were the bitchy parts, but it was the only way to make it seem realistic.

"Then why isn't the show called Carly and Sam, why is it called iCarly?"

"She didn't come up with the name, Freddie did, and we all like it." Valerie raised her eyebrows and sighed.

"Well if you were my co host, I'd call the show Val and Sam." Valerie walked slightly past Sam and turned around. "Or Sam and Val, if you'd like that." Sam raised her eyebrow and glanced to the side, then back to Valerie.

"Is this a serious offer? You, me and Freddie?"

"Yes. Then we could knock Carly Shay off the internet, and in a couple of years, we could have the most popular show on the internet."

"Heh, I bet we could."

"That was the plan all along." Sam and Valerie smirked and kept in with the role play, it was still pretty fun.

"You got a devious little brain, I like that."

"I thought you might, let's talk tomorrow."

"Absolutely." The girls smirked and parted ways. As an added reminder to tell Carly, Valerie stopped and turned around.

"And by the way, don't tell anyone. We don't want Carly to know about this." Sam smirked and nodded.

"Believe me, I won't." With that, it was the makings of what would soon be the "break up" of Freddie and Valerie. All Sam had to do was tell Carly that Valerie wanted to bust up iCarly, then Carly would try to convince Freddie that Valerie was bad news. Then, Freddie was supposed to return to them and say that he and Valerie broke up. That way, everyone would know that Freddie and Sam were not dating, because he apparently dated Valerie and broke up. Even Granddad Shay, who had his suspicions, would have to quell them for now.

I hope you enjoyed that chapter, the next should be the last of Valerie's role play chapters. Drop a review or I shall bungee jump off the empire state building! Wait, I'm not doing that!!!
