Hey, I know I said I would try update more often, but then I was sent a link to the advert for thesecond His Dark Materials series trailer, and it kind of put me back in the mood for that, so I watchedall of the first series on iPlayer again instead of writing this. It made me realize that my daemon woulddefinitely be Hester cause she is literally me. Enough of my rambling, and on with the story!

The next couple of days were so rainy that when Freddie saw Sam and Cat dancing in the rain, he pulled them inside and scolded them nonstop until they ran off to their cabin and slammed the door. They were currently all sitting in the lounge area talking
"So, you all go to Hollywood Arts?" Freddie clarified
"Yeppydoddles" Cat cheered
"Did you all meet there?" Sam asked curiously
"No, I've known Jade, Beck, Robbie and Andre for years" Cat said
"How long?"
"Jade the longest, I met her when my dad married her mum
"They announced they were getting married and Jade said, "you're getting m- m- married?" And my dad said we gonna be one big happy family. And Jade said, "he's going to be my stepfather?" And they nodded, so she turned to me and said " and you! She's gonna be my-" and I yelled "hug me sister!" And then-"
"Cat, Cat, that's not how we met" Jade sighed "that's from a TV show"
"Drake & Josh" Tori added
"Opps" Cat trailed off "so how did we meet?"
"We met when you moved to my school. Your brother needed to see a specialist, so your parents decided to move closer to them. I was the scary child who sat in the black row with no one next to me. When you joined the teacher sent u to sit with me and all the other kids looked horrified. You sat next to me and said
"Hey, I'm Cat, who are you?""
I said "I'm your worst nightmare "
You gasped and said, "you are gonna become a top chef and decide that red velvet cupcakes should be banned in America!" And from then on you followed me around and I couldn't get rid of you" Jade said
"And how did I meet everyone else?" Cat asked
"Well, you used to go to school with me until u left" Andre said "You were my little soul sister. When you left, I teamed up with Robbie, cause he was a bit crazy, like you. He carried Rex round even then" he chucked

"Watch it!" Rex growled at him

" when me and Robbie moved to Hollywood arts we teamed up with Beck. I'd sometimes hang out with you, but you were mostly with Jade. Then one day Beck told us he loved Jade. We told him he was crazy. We said that she would rip him apart and eat him. He asked her out any way. She said no. But he kept asking her out and eventually she said yes. Then Tori joined and that made are group"
"Don't forget me!" Trina chimed in
"I don't think anyone can forget you" Sam said
"I know, I'm unforgettable" Trina smiled happily

"And we all lived happily ever after" Cat cheered

"But what about you guys?" Tori asked "You two and Carly"

"Well, I first met Carly when we were eight" Sam started "We squabbled over a tuna sandwich, pushed each other of a bench and then decided that the other was alright" she finished with a flourish and a bow "So much better than your stories I might add"

"Well I am going to do a flash back for when I first met the girls" Freddie grinned "If you will all look this way..."

Nine-year-old Freddie took a deep breath and knocked on the door, holding tightly to the container of food. The door opened and a very pretty brunet, roughly his age, stood in the doorway

"Hi, I'm Freddie Benson, I just moved in next door"

"Hello, I'm Carly Shay"

"Urm, my mum sent me round with this, as she said she saw your dad coming home with ten bags of fat cakes, screwdrivers and milk"

"My dad!" the young girls eyes lit up before fading again "Oh, you mean my brother Spencer. My dad works overboard in the air force"

"Oh, sorry. My mum just wanted me to give you this so you can eat something nutritious" he said passing over the container

"What is this?" she asked eyeing the green mush

"I have no idea. If I were you, I would throw it away now"

"Ha, your funny Freddie. Hey, have you been eating this stuff your whole life?"

"Pretty much, yeah"

"Come in, you can eat some stuff from our fridge"

"Thanks" he said walking in

"Ok, fridge is over there, just don't take the h-"

"CARLY!" a loud shout echoed from upstairs

"WHAT?" she yelled back

"I glued my hand to my purple bunny..."

"Again? Sorry Freddie I need to go hep Spencer. Just take some bits from our fridge" As Carly ran upstairs, he walked over to the fridge. He took out a fat cake and a soda and sat down happily. Once he had finished them, he took another look in the fridge and saw a ham sitting on the top shelf. Reaching up, he took it down, cut a slice and raised it to his lips when it happened. A loud war cry filled the room as something jumped on his back and began hitting him hard. Screaming in fear, Freddie tried to throw it off as Carly and a tall lanky man came back down

"Bad Sam! Bad Sam!" Carly yelled as the man, who Freddie assumed was Spencer pulled the thing off Freddie's back. Looking more closely, Freddie realized it was a blonde girl the same age as Carly, who was spitting and snarling at him

"What is your problem!" he cried

"You tried to eat my ham!" she yelled back

"It's not your ham, it's Carly's!"

"Whatever is Carly's is mine. So watch your back. Nub" and with that she stalked out the room

"I see you met my best friend Sam" Carly smiled guiltily "I did try tell you not to touch the ham"

...oOo...oOo...oOo...oOo...oOo...

"And that is how I met my girls" he finished

"First of Fredwierd, I can not be owned. Secondly, that is how you met Carly. Not me"

"What?" he frowned

"I met you four years before that"

A small blonde girl was laying in the entrance of a slide, fast asleep. A group of children came running up to it, only to run away when they saw her. One little boy was new to this park and had never seen this girl before. Gently, he poked her shoulder and said

"Excuse me but you are blocking the slide" Immediately, she stood up, grabbing him by the arm, and pushed him headfirst down the slide. The boy banged his head and let out a cry that made his mother come rushing over

"Freddie bear!" she cried "are you alright?"

"Fine mum" he said "just playing soldiers with that girl" he pointed at the blonde girl who stuck her tongue out at him

"Okay Freddie, stay safe, I will just be at that bench over there" she said, giving him a kiss on the head, before walking over to her bench, turning her head to check on her son every two steps

"It's rude to push people" Freddie called up to the girl

"It's rude to wake people up from their sleep. Freddie bear" she retorted

"who are you!"

"My name is Sam Puckett. Don't wear it out"

...oOo...oOo...oOo...oOo...oOo...

"And they say the rest is history" Sam sighed, ruffling Freddie's hair

"You look like such a cute couple when you do that" Cat commented

"I remember that now!" Freddie cried "I had a small crush on you then- DAMN!"

"A small crush, well Benson, I am just irresistible!" Sam crowed

"Okay," Jade whispered to Cat and Andre "We have to get them together!"
