Chapter 36 (Role Play: Breaking Up)

After the school day, Sam was to visit Carly. She made her way down the hall and took a glance at her door, she was tempted to go in there and see Freddie. As if on cue, Freddie stepped out of the door and smirked at her while leaning against the wall.

"So, I guess you're ready to tell Carly about Valerie," Freddie said in a quiet voice. "Good, then Valerie and I will have good break up material." He glanced toward Carly's door then back to Sam. She saw his gaze and chuckled lightly as he started walking toward her. He then wrapped his arms around Sam and pulled her close, kissing her passionately on the lips. He then released her and smirked as he gazed into her eyes. "Well, I just thought I'd give you a kiss before the big stuff happens. Good luck." Sam smiled at him and he gently kissed her forehead. "Good luck."

"Yeah, thanks for that." With that, the two walked to the doors, Freddie entered his and Sam entered Carly. "Hey Carly, are you here!" She waited as Carly started hurrying down the stairs to greet her. "Hey, we have a problem."

"What's that?" Carly asked.

"Valerie tried to get me to do her webshow so that with me and Freddie, she can kick iCarly off the air." Carly's mouth dropped and shock ran rampant through her body.

"She did what!"

"That skunk bag tried to steal me too! She stole Freddie so she can have the hottest show on the web, she wants to get rid of iCarly!"

"Oh my god, she's just using Freddie!" That was pretty much what Sam had just said, she hoped Carly didn't miss anything. Carly seemed angry enough, so that was good. Perhaps Carly would not go in and convince Freddie to break up with Valerie. That would be the end of his first girlfriend, and of course it made him open for other dates. "That little…"

"Say it." Carly frowned and shrugged.

"Spencer says it's not ladylike."

"Say it!"

"That little skunk bag! We need to tell Freddie!" Sam nodded as Carly turned around and headed out the door. The girls then began pounding on his door until he opened the door and stared at them. "Freddie, Valerie is just using you to get rid of our show!" Freddie gave her a skeptical look and Carly continued. "Sam told me she just tried to get her to leave iCarly to do her webshow, and that she wanted to kick iCarly off of the air!" Freddie sighed and rolled his eyes while crossing his arms.

"You're talking about my girlfriend!" Freddie protested.

"She's not your girlfriend!" Freddie blinked and shrugged, he had to admit that Carly was right about that, his girlfriend was Sam. "She's just using you."

"Then I enjoy being used!" Of course, he could mean that as an innuendo for Sam, she could use him any day she wanted. Spencer stepped out of the apartment and asked Carly about some girl scout cookies, she told him she didn't want any, so he went back to the phone and told the girl they didn't want any.

"You have to believe us," Sam said while putting a desperate look on her face. Freddie had to admit, he thought she looked cute during that moment, as he always thought. "I mean she did try to get me to be on her webshow too!"

"You're lying."

"I don't lie!"

"Yeah, Sam may be obnoxious and irresponsible, but she doesn't lie!" Carly exclaimed. Sam and Freddie raised their eyebrows and stared at Carly, she blinked and looked to Sam. "Oh, you know I love you." Sam shrugged and smiled at that. Freddie rolled his eyes and sighed.

"Fine, I'll go ask Valerie myself!"

"She's not going to tell the truth. Valerie's using you."

"She is not!" Freddie exclaimed in defense.

"Believe us," Sam said in a pleading tone of voice.

"We've been your friends longer than she has," Carly said quietly. Spencer then shouted into the phone and everyone stared at him with slightly disturbed looks on their faces. Carly sighed and turned around. "Come on, Sam."

"Actually, I need to get home." Carly sighed and shrugged as she headed for her apartment, Sam gave Freddie a look and then walked around the corner toward the stairs. Freddie leaned against the wall and smirked as he stared at Carly's closed door. Just then, Sam bounded around the corner and latched onto Freddie by wrapping her arms around his waist.

"You did well," Freddie said as he gently kissed her forehead.

"Not as good as you did." She returned his kiss by giving him a peck on the lips. He smiled and opened his door.

"Let's get inside, Valerie and Jonah are waiting." Sam nodded and Freddie wrapped his arm around her waist while leading her into the apartment. Jonah and Valerie were sitting on the couch, Jonah had his arm around her shoulders and was smiling at his friends. "Well Valerie, I'd say your part of the role play is near the end."

"Yeah, but we have to break up first," Valerie said while slowly standing up from the couch. Freddie nodded and took a step forward, their mates continued to watch on with interest. "Valerie, Carly and Sam have been telling me about your plan to remove iCarly from the internet, is this true?"

"Why, whatever would they have to implicate me for such a thing?"

"They're my friends, they don't usually lie to me…" Valerie gave a scoff and circled around Freddie, he held his position. "Are you just using me to get what you want?"

"I'm your girlfriend, Freddie! Who do you believe, anyway?" Freddie closed his fists and narrowed his eyes.

"Can you just tell the truth? You're dancing around the subject." Valerie gave a frustrated grunt and crossed her arms.

"Fine, yes I am using you, but what are you going to do about it anyway?" Freddie closed his eyes and let a frustrated sound escape his throat.

"That's it Valerie…we're through, we're over. I can't believe you would do this, to think I trusted you." Freddie smirked and snapped his fingers. "Break up, over."

"Yep, that it is." Everyone laughed and fell onto the couch, they couldn't believe how much fun that role play was. "We still should do some other stuff though."

"Yeah, like making it believable that you and I become friends," Sam said in a quiet voice. Valerie tapped her chin and hummed, she was trying her best to think of an idea.

"How about this, I say that I just wanted a friend and someone to care for me, and you offer to do that. Then you say that you forgive me for using Freddie, and as long as I never do that again, you'll be happy."

"Yeah, that sounds fine to me, and I think it's believable. Yet, we still need a reason that I would go to you."

"Well, maybe something happens that you come check up on me out of the kindness of your heart. It has to be something big, though."

"How about you record something and post it onto a server as private," Freddie suggested while rubbing his chin. "It'll be private, so no one can see it, and only we'll know. Maybe something happens…"

"What if something falls on me?" Jonah raised his eyebrow and Valerie looked over at him, he seemed a bit ambivalent about that suggestion. "I wouldn't really be hurt, but Sam would think I was."

"I guess, as long as you wouldn't get hurt," Jonah replied while crossing his arms over. "We'll record that, then the role play on Valerie's part is complete."

"It was fun."

"That it was," Sam responded. Freddie chuckled and nodded in response. They knew they'd need to get it done as soon as they could, then they could put the video up as private so only Freddie could access it and view it. When that was done, everything would go smoothly. Sam looked over at Freddie and smiled. "All suspicions of us are probably gone, too."

"Yeah, I'd agree with that."

-NEW SCENE-

Sam and Carly stood in the studio and listened as Jeremy sneezed his way out of the apartment. Carly sighed and crossed her arms, she didn't feel all that great about the fact that they didn't have a tech producer, but for some reason, she felt that Freddie would be back. If he did come back, she would be impressed with him.

"So what are we going to do now?" Sam asked as she turned toward Carly. "We can't really do the show without a tech producer."

"I miss Freddie," Carly admitted. Sam sighed and nodded her head, but at least she knew Freddie would be back.

"Hey Carly, can I ask your thoughts on arranged marriage? You still don't like it?" Carly raised her eyebrow and scoffed.

"Why do you care? I told you once before, arranged marriage is pretty much a sin in itself. I mean come on, the woman's throwing herself into slavery pretty much! Why? Do you know anyone that practices it?" Carly narrowed her eyes and stared at Sam with slight suspicion.

"No, I don't, I was just wondering. I mean, I had been doing research on it and all…" So Carly still didn't like arranged marriage, and was probably going to tear them apart if she found out Sam and Freddie were dating. "Well anyway, back to the problem at hand…where are we going to find another tech producer?" As if on cue, the elevator door opened and Freddie stepped into the room. He gave a small wave and stepped in front of Sam and Carly.

"You were right," Freddie said in a quiet voice. Sam had a look of disdain and sadness on her face, but it was real, because it was for Carly.

"Valerie admitted she tried to get me to do the show?"

"Yeah, she even tried to get me to talk you into it. You guys were right."

"So what did you do?" Carly asked in a concerned voice. Sam gave her a quick look of sadness and anger, angry that Carly would have any concern for Freddie when if she knew Freddie's culture, she wouldn't even like him. Freddie caught the look and raised his eyebrow, he would have to ask Sam about it later.

"I broke up with her."

"I'm sorry."

"It's cool." Freddie walked over to his computer and started to slowly press the buttons, giving off a quiet and sad aura. Sam and Carly quickly walked over to him.

"Well come on, let's do a great webshow!" Sam said in a quick voice. "That'll get your mind off of it!"

"I didn't say I'd come back to iCarly. Just because she did what she did doesn't mean she was wrong when she said you guys don't treat me like I'm important to the show."

"I always tell you how important you are!" Carly argued. Sam looked over at he and then away, a look of shame gracing her face, once more this caused Freddie's concerns to grow.

"Yeah, you do." Freddie looked at Sam and Carly turned to her.

"Tell him he's just as important to the show as we are!" Sam made a groaning sound and shook her head slightly.

"Why don't you make me drink out of a toilet?" Sam asked in disgust.

"Tell him!" Sam sighed and stepped forward, she could do that. Freddie crossed his arms and Sam looked him in the eyes.

"You're just important to the show as we are." Freddie smirked and Sam smiled at him as she gave him a hug. She lowered her voice to a quick whisper. "She still doesn't like arranged marriage, so we still have to keep it a secret from her for sure." Then he knew what was bothering her, of course she would have trouble with fearing her best friend would tear them apart. He knew he could comfort her when he got the chance, as for now, they couldn't do anything. Sam lowered her hands and gripped Freddie's underwear, smirking as she pulled up. He grunted and Sam stepped back.

"She gave me a wedgie!"

"No charge! Now let's get this webshow done!"

I hope you enjoyed that role play. Just remember as this story goes on, some things will have to be different and some episodes will have to be skipped over or briefly mentioned. Such as when Lewbert's episode draws near, I'm going to have to think of something to do with it because that's when Emily/Marissa says her real name...Oh, and future reference, Freddie does NOT DISLIKE Carly, he likes her as a friend simply because of Sam. If Carly were to ever, and she never will, do something really bad to Sam, then Freddie would simply have to handle the situation maturely. However, that doesn't mean that Jonah will exactly like Carly that much. You will see that Jonah isn't fond of Carly for some specific reasons...that time will come later...
