Chapter 66 (iCarly on TV)

After a couple weeks passed, it appeared that Carly wasn't talking much to Freddie. The reason why was confusing, as she never told him anything. His "obsessing" with her lessoned a bit, but he still did every now and then, though it was rare. Freddie had told Sam about what had happened, she took it pretty well, especially since Freddie hadn't told Carly too much information. However, they were sure that Tyrone told Carly that Freddie lied to her and that she believed him over Freddie.

Carly was mad at Freddie, of course, but she would cease to be mad at him over time. He actually didn't mind too much that she was mad at him, he had preferred her to be angry with him than to be angry with Sam. It had been made clear she was upset when she practically begged Sam to stick a hose down his pants and destroy them. This actually made Sam uncomfortable, since it meant Carly would also be getting an eyeful of Freddie in his underwear, which was a sight that she hadn't even seen that much. They did get a laugh out of it, and Carly seemed okay after that happened. Though Sam did notice the blush on her face after seeing Freddie in his underwear, it made her extremely uncomfortable.

Freddie had later asked why she went along with it and she admitted to actually wanting to see him in his underwear herself. They laughed over it and he made a few jokes that made her feel better about the situation. He also jokingly told her not to worry, that a day would come when she'd see him in his boxers as often as she wanted and no one else ever would. It got her to laugh, mainly because it was true. On this day, the three were in science class and Freddie was standing behind the girls while they listened to the teacher speak.

The teacher was rather boring, but Freddie had to concentrate. It seemed Carly was getting Sam to concentrate and Freddie seemed to be staring at Sam discreetly. He'd shift his eyes over to her every now and then, just because she was better to look at than the teacher was. "And so the hierarchy of the identification system goes Kingdom Phylum Class Order Family Genus Sp-" As she was speaking, an odd man entered the room.

"Hi," The man said, interrupting the teacher. She gasped and stared at him with a shocked and appalled look, how dare someone interrupt her teaching.

"Sir, can I help you?" The teacher asked while stepping next to the man. Freddie was starting to wonder who this person was, since he'd never seen the guy before. He had to wonder if he had anything to do with Tyrone and if he was going to cause any trouble. The man turned to the teacher and nodded in her direction as he took off his shades.

"I'm looking for Carly Shay and her friends Sam and Freddie," the man stated. Freddie raised his eyebrow and glanced to the left at some other student. He then turned his attention back to the strange man, concerned as to who the person was. The teacher was appalled by this man's behavior.

"You can't just barge into my classroom and demand to take children away without proper-"

"I run a television network." This caught Freddie's attention, perhaps it was something about iCarly. Not only that, he had to wonder how some weird, but well dressed, man had found them. If someone found them that easily, then was Sam in danger while being on iCarly? Was it safe for her?

"Oh, help yourself." The teacher pointed at the trio and the two girls turned to look at Freddie. Freddie glanced at Sam and saw she had a slightly concerned look on her face. He gave her a brief nod, letting her know he wouldn't let anything bad happen if this man was to be some sort of scumbag. The man moved toward the girls and set a stool in front of their desk, he placed his elbow on the desk and fist under his chin as he stared at the two girls. This man was starting to appear creepy, and if he continued to look at Sam, Freddie was going to have to step in.

"Uh hello," Carly said nervously. The man smiled and began to speak, finally.

"I'm head of the television network TVS, we want to turn iCarly into a hit TV show." This was news, Freddie hadn't seen that coming, he figured that might be fun. Of course, there were certain things he'd have to make sure about if this was going to be, such as Sam would be safe. "Will you come with me?" The girls looked to Freddie and he gave them a smile and a nod. Although, he was sure they would have to talk about this.

"Okay, but I'll have to call my brother, he's the responsible-" Just then, Spencer barged in while carrying several items in his arms.

"Hey! They picked me up on the way here, in a limo!" Spencer exclaimed with excitement. Freddie chuckled and the girls raised their eyebrows. Freddie had to wonder, if Spencer was his brother, did Spencer know it? Most likely he didn't, since he never acted like it. "It's full of fancy soda and fruit I've never even heard of." Spencer took out a green fruit and looked to the teacher. "This is a guava!" When there was no response, he looked to the students and spoke the name of the fruit once more, they all then repeated it slowly, which was very odd. "Come on!" Spencer left the room and the trio quickly followed after him.

The group exited into a limo and went directly toward the studio. It seemed this would be a perfect opportunity for Sam and Freddie to have some arguments while Carly just sat and watched. "This limo is huge!" Carly said with a smile. Freddie nodded and rested his arm on the side of the door. He actually wanted to call up Jonah and tell him what was going on, but that could wait. He knew that Jonah and Valerie would be excited to hear the news.

"Yeah, this would be perfect for the world's fattest priest!" Sam added. Freddie raised his eyebrow and chuckled once. It was interesting that she liked that guy, but it was only natural to be obsessed with facts that were found to be interesting as such.

"Why are you obsessed with that guy?" Freddie asked. The two continued to mess around for the remainder of the drive. To Carly, it looked simply like they were bickering about, but to them it was flirting. To Spencer, it also appeared as though they were flirting. He smirked to himself and leaned back, he was already sure that Sam and Freddie were supposed to be together, but he wasn't going to say anything about it. He smiled as he watched the two together, they really seemed good for each other. It was a shame they had to keep their relationship together, if he was right and they were supposedly each other's fiancé.

When they made it to the studio, the man spoke of the possibility of being on the TV show. Emily even showed up for her support, she did choose to have a little fun and pester Freddie a bit for the hell of it. Freddie was told that he'd be the 'supervising producer' of the show, so all seemed well. Sam asked for ribs, as she loved ribs. Freddie liked ribs more, though.

The next day was the first iCarly on live TV, it was pretty cool for everyone. They even met a guy named Harper, but Freddie didn't think much of him. It looked like Harper was flirting a bit with Sam, but he didn't worry too much about that. The producing thing was crap, Freddie didn't get to do much of anything at all. Sam wasn't fond of that, the man made it seem Freddie wasn't important at all. In fact, Freddie could have even gone home, but he didn't. He wanted to stay and watch over Sam, making sure everything would be all right.

With Emily, she had her own quirks. With Freddie and Sam gone, she would get bored sometimes, but it wasn't anything major. Though, she was looking for an excuse to spend some time with Spencer. After all, what mother wouldn't want to spend time with her son? As a joke, she made some cucumber cups. She thought it'd be a nice time for humor. She knew Spencer most likely wouldn't like them, she didn't even like them, but Spencer didn't have to know that.

Spencer had finished talking to Sasha on the phone and moved to finish his laundry when Emily knocked on his door. He opened the door and she quickly moved inside. As they sat on the couch, Spencer looked to the food with a raised eyebrow. He was curious as to what they were. "These are cucumber cups filled with low fat yogurt and chopped celery," Emily said with a smile. Spencer started to say he hadn't ever had them before, but Emily quickly put one into his mouth. It was the foulest tasting thing he'd ever had. He wondered if Emily was going to eat one, but she didn't seem like she was about to even touch them.

"Of course, she probably made that as a joke," Spencer thought. Emily looked away as Spencer quickly chucked the cucumber cup away. She smirked and closed her eyes, it was quite clear what he had just done. She stated that it was lonely without Freddie around, that much was true. Spencer nodded and looked to his laundry. "Yeah, it's quiet without Carly here…" Emily looked over and nodded, she figured Spencer would be lonely if Carly were ever taken from him. "I was just doing my laundry and-"

"I can help you with your laundry." So that was her mother instinct kicking in.

-NEW SCENE-

At the studio, Freddie was growling with slight anger at the fact that there was a grown man in a dinosaur suit that kept thumping Sam's thigh with his. "If he doesn't stop, then I'm going to hit him," Freddie thought while narrowing his eyes.

"Hey Freddie!" The TVG director called out. Freddie looked over and crossed his arms, wondering what it was the man possibly wanted him to do this time. "There's a guy getting sweaty, go produce a bag of ice and cool him off."

"Excuse me?"

"It's your job…you can go home if you want." Freddie looked over as Sam got thumped again, he narrowed his eyes and headed toward the ice machine. He didn't care what he had to do, he wasn't leaving Sam in this creepy place where some dude, god knows how old, was thumping close to Sam's butt. As he walked away, he heard Sam pounce on the guy, whacking him with a microphone. He smirked and filled the bag with ice, he was proud of his lover, she was doing exactly what he was so tempted to do.

He heard Harper complaining about something, he looked back and spotted the dude in the dinosaur head. This got a chuckle from Freddie. He walked out with the bag of ice and stepped next to Sam and Carly. They wondered what it was he was doing, so he told them. The man that needed cooling waved and the trio glanced over, it was some fat dude who needed ice on his stomach, this made the group nearly vomit. Sam winced when Freddie moved over to the man, she didn't think being on TV was worth something like that. Freddie was just doing this because he thought Carly and Sam enjoyed being on TV, that's why he didn't protest.

As he rubbed the guy's stomach, the man seemed to want him to rub it around more. Freddie would have upchucked if he didn't have a strong stomach. Yet he could say one thing, he wasn't wanting to do this again anytime soon. The man looked to Freddie and blinked. "Hey, do you like Italian food?" Freddie raised his eyebrow and stared at the man. It was official, this was one of the worst things he had ever done in his life. He looked over at the girls and watched them walk away. Sam looked back over at Freddie and started to turn green, Freddie quickly gestured for her to continue on her way.

Back at Spencer's place, he and Emily were working on a sculpture together. Emily actually liked his artwork, she thought he was very talented. She couldn't help but to be proud of him. That bastard Tyrone thought his sculptures were crap, but she believed they were masterpieces. If she could, she'd hang them on her refrigerator. She handed Spencer a screwdriver and he poked his hand on the tip. He let out a loud shout and looked at it.

"It's bleeding!" Spencer exclaimed. He actually was very queasy with blood, so this was a bad thing. Emily quickly ran into her apartment and grabbed the closest first aid kit she could find. It just so happened to be a doctor's first aid kit, one that was given to her by Sarah. She ran back into Spencer's apartment and opened the first aid kit, trying to find some bandages. She couldn't help it, it was just her motherly concern.

-NEW SCENE-

The trio was now eating some barbecue ribs, or at least Sam was. Freddie was watching as she bit into the ribs, she had sauce covering her lips. How he wanted to kiss her and lick that sauce away. She caught his hungry smirk and smirked in response. She quickly placed the rib onto his face, much to his shock. "Now that is good sauce!" She took the rib and then began biting into it.

"You realize that's wrong, right?" Freddie asked. He took some napkins and started wiping the sauce from his cheek. The group started walking and soon ran into the director guy once more. They started talking and the man finally stated that Sam was fired. "WHAT?!" Freddie was angered with that, the guy could fire Sam! He didn't care what happened to himself, but firing Sam was out of the question.

"The viewers found her pushy and aggressive."

"She is pushy and aggressive, that's just who she is!" They argued on for a bit, then Sam was sent on her way. Freddie watched her leave and frowned, he wanted to go after her. He was going to, but he couldn't at the moment. He started to not care and go after her, but was stopped when the man announced that Sam was being replaced with Amber Tate. Freddie and Carly thought that was interesting, but Freddie was still appalled that they would even think of replacing Sam with such a person.

It wasn't long before not only Harper quit, but Freddie had enough himself. The final straw was Sam, but he was staying because Carly needed one of her friends there. It just so happened that when the head guy wanted him to plunge a toilet, he couldn't take it anymore. He apologized to Carly and quickly walked out of the building where he found Sam. "You're still here?" Freddie asked as he sat next to Sam.

"What have we gotten ourselves into?" She asked. Freddie looked at Sam and frowned, she seemed upset. "How could they replace me with that actress lady? Why did we take that opportunity?" Freddie smiled softly and draped his arm around her shoulders.

"It's okay Sam, we'll think of a way out of this. We can find our way out of that contract somehow." Sam nodded and rested her head on Freddie's chest, she was afraid that iCarly would have to end. In time, however, they would not have to. The guy would change the sitcom into something entirely different and the group got iCarly back. Fortunately, they wouldn't have to worry about that problem anymore.

Yep I updated early to inform you that I have created a GREATEST SECRET family tree. Sadly, I don't know how to get it to you. However, I will let you in on a little secret, Freddie's got an extended family you'll learn all about, and something HUGE happened involving Tyrone and several members of Freddie's family. You'll find that out in chapter 106. Also, Freddie's grandpa is the polar opposite of Tyrone. Those are the only things, so small, that I'll let you in on. ;-) Stick around for the next chapter, and I hope you enjoyed this one!
