The Bachelor Game
(This is where the revival doesn't exist and they are somewhere around 15-18)
Carly and Freddie were sitting on the couch in the iCarly studio, brainstorming ideas for their next show. Sam was sitting on the floor, munching on some chips, and occasionally throwing in her own suggestions.
Freddie couldn't help but steal glances at Sam every now and then. He had secretly been crushing on her for years, but had never found the courage to tell her. He knew Sam was tough and fearless, but he didn't want to risk ruining their friendship if she didn't feel the same way.
Suddenly, Carly came up with an idea for a segment - a dating game where Sam would have to choose between three mystery bachelors. Sam rolled her eyes and made some sarcastic comments, but Freddie couldn't help but feel a twinge of jealousy at the thought of Sam dating someone else.
As they set up for the segment, Sam turned to Freddie and asked, "Hey, dork, why don't you be one of the bachelors?"
Freddie's heart leapt at the idea, but he tried to play it cool. "Sure, why not?" he said with a shrug.
The game began, and the three mystery bachelors - including Freddie - answered Sam's questions. Sam seemed unimpressed with the first two bachelors, and Freddie was starting to lose hope.
But then Sam asked Freddie a question that caught him off-guard. "If you could take me anywhere in the world, where would we go?"
Freddie swallowed nervously before answering. "I'd take you to Paris. We could go to the top of the Eiffel Tower and see the whole city at night."
Sam's eyes widened, and for a moment, Freddie thought he had said the wrong thing. But then Sam grinned and said, "I've always wanted to go to Paris. Maybe we could make that happen someday."
Freddie felt his heart swell with hope. There may be a chance for him and Sam after all.
As the segment ended and they started packing up, Sam pulled Freddie aside. "Hey, thanks for being a good sport about the game," she said with a smile.
Freddie felt his cheeks heat up as he replied, "No problem. It was fun."
Sam hesitated for a moment before adding, "And, uh, maybe we could go to Paris sometime. Just the two of us."
Freddie felt like he was on cloud nine. "I'd love that," he said with a grin.
As they left the studio that night, Freddie couldn't stop thinking about the possibility of a future with Sam. He knew it wouldn't be easy, but he was willing to take the risk for a chance at love.
And with that, the seed of a beautiful romance between Freddie and Sam began to grow.
