A/N: HI xD Bye:D

"Hey guys," Sam said, frowning. "Were you guys just...did we interrupt something?"

"Um, sit down," Carly said.

"Yep," Sam said, turning her attention to me. "We definitely interrupted something."

"We have to tell you something very, very important," Gibby said. It was probably the first time I had ever seen him act serious.

Sam and I sat down in the booth across from Gibby and Carly, who were holding hands underneath the table. As we settled into the booth, I put my arm around Sam's shoulder and she rested her head in my chest.

"C'mon guys, out with it," Sam ordered. "Mama needs her breakfast." I could easily tell she already knew what they were about to tell her; I mean who wouldn't? It's nothing surprising that Carly and Gibby are dating now after yesterday.

"Carly and I..." Gibby started, nervously. It's not that hard to say. "Carly and I have been...secretly dating for about...eight months."

At this, Sam's eyes bugged and I hopped out of my seat, completely baffled. I did not see that coming. I mean, sure, Gibby wasn't the chubby guy he'd been we first met him. He was buffer because we often went to the gym together and his hair had changed too- to a much fresher style. I didn't see it completely impossible, but it was definitely shocking. I know Sam and I are an odd couple, but the weirdest person on Earth and the prissiest person on Earth together...now that's just a shocker.

"You guys have been what," Sam yelled, obviously taken a back by the news. I, myself, was still trying to regain my posture.

"Shh," Gibby said.

"Never tell a girl to shh," Sam said, hopping out of her seat and standing beside me. She looked to Carly, whose eyes were pleading. "How...how could you? We promised no more secrets and...and for eight months. I could see if it was two, but eight?"

"Gibby, you know you could've told me," I said, taking a different perspective than Sam.

"Well, I wanted to," Gibby started. "But Carly didn't want me to te-" That's all Sam had to hear for her to storm out. I knew it was useless trying to get her to stay. She was angry and I understood her reasoning. I decided to let her have her alone time for a little while.

I glanced over at Carly who was in a state of grief. I nodded at Gibby and Carly. "I understand, guys. It'll just take Sam a little longer."

"I should go talk to her," Carly said, getting up. "Wish me luck." She called over her shoulder.

...

"Hi," I heard behind me. I didn't even have to look behind to know that it was my best friend, Carly. I turned away from her direction, pretending not to feel her sit down next to me.

I can't even look at her right now. My own best friend has kept something behind my back for eight months. I sigh, imagining everything that will go on.

"Why are you here," I asked, still not facing her.

"I want to talk," She mumbled.

"About what," I snapped, finally turning to face her. "The wedding that could possibly be happening in a year and a half?"

"Sam..." She started. "I'm sorry. Having a secret relationship was fun. It was exciting and it felt wrong and right at the same time. I didn't even think me and Gibby would last that long."

"But you did," My voice was hoarse and dry. "You kept it from me for eight months. What about not keeping anything from each other wasn't clear to you?"

"I dunno what possessed me to do it," Carly started. "I was planning on telling you a couple of times, but you were always busy. You were either hanging out with Freddie or eating meat. And everyone knows not to come between you and your meat."

I let out a small laugh. "Okay, Carls," I said. "I forgive you."

She smiled and hugged me. "Don't ever do that again, Carly," I warned. "So how did that happen anyway?"

"Well," Carly started. "It was the day you and Freddie went on your first date."

(Flashback)

"Bye, Carly," Sam called, as Sam was escorted out the door by Freddie.

"So, what you wanna do," Carly asked Gibby, smiling.

"I don't know," Gibby said. "Carly, there's something I need to ask you."

"Mmkay," She said, squirting whipped cream on a carrot. "Shoot."

"What if there was a guy who liked this girl but couldn't find the right way to tell her because...because he was afraid of hurting their friendship,"Gibby asked.

Carly frowned, walking over to sit on the couch besides Gibby. "I'm guessing this 'guy' is you," She said. Was that a glint of hope in her eyes? "So I'd say, take the chance. You never know until you try."

"Okay," Gibby said, leaning forward. Carly knew this day would come. She knew he felt this way. And then their lips met.

Pulling apart, they both had happy smiles on their faces. They knew they'd be together forever.

(End of Flashback)

"Yep," Carly said, smiling. "That's how it happened."

"Well," Sam said, shrugging. "I'm happy for you."

Suddenly, Sam's stomach growled. "How about that breakfast,"

"Let's go,"

...

"So," Carly said, as she and the gang walked from breakfast. "What're we going to do today?"

Freddie put his arm around Sam's waist before answering. "Last night, I looked up attractions here in Freeport-"

"-Like a nub," Sam smiled.

"And I saw some pretty interesting places. There's this one place, called Garden of the Groves and I heard it's a pleasant way to spend a few hours. It's a twelve-acre garden full of tropical plants and animals: one of the most popular tourist attractions on the island. It's only $15 per person and I heard they have the best lunches and-"

Sam pressed her lips to his. Dazed, he pulled back.

"What was that for," He asked, grinning.

"You would've kept yapping if I didn't," Sam said. Carly chuckled.

"I think that is a great idea, Fredster," Gibby said, patting Freddie on the shoulder.

"Todo el mundo vamos," Freddie said, and the group headed off.

...

A/N: Chapter 4!:) I did some serious research for this chapter. I felt like Garden of the Groves needed it's own chapter. I know this chapter was very dramatic but, hey...I like a little drama here and there. Sooo...review?:D
