iMeet Drake & Josh
Author's Note: "iCarly" and "Drake & Josh" are both owned by Nickelodeon. I just own the story.
Chapter 1 - Prologue
Location: San Diego, California
Megan Parker was currently sitting at the dining room table, wondering what to write for her essay assignment that was due at the end of spring break, which had barely begun a few days ago.
She was required to write about an unforgettable experience that had happened in her life, similar to the essay that her step-brother had to do several years ago.
I guess I could write about the time that they ended up sending me to Hollywood, thought Megan. But I pretty much told all of my friends about it, and I don't think that-
"... begging you, Josh, please don't bring 'It' with us!"
The young teenager rolled her eyes, and muttered, "Great, just what I need to help me concentrate."
As he came down the stairs, and entered the living room, Josh Nichols gently set down his luggage on the floor. "It's she, Drake, and plus, Mindy is already spending the entire break with her parents out in Florida, so she wasn't even an option to start with."
Once Josh took a seat on the couch, his step- brother made his way into the living room, and said, "Ah, perfect, so there's nothing to worry about."
"But we still have an extra non-refundable ticket," reminded Josh. "All because you forgot to-"
As he sat next to his brother, Drake rolled his eyes, and said, "Yeah, yeah, I know, and I already told you, I'm sorry… so, who are we gonna take then?"
"What about Carly?" wondered Josh. "Aren't you trying to get back together with her?"
Drake shrugged his shoulders, and replied. "Kinda, sorta, yeah, I guess… but she said she wanted to take things slow, and I don't think inviting her on a trip to Seattle is gonna fit in the 'take it slow' category.
Josh let out a sigh, but before he could say anything else, their mother came out from the kitchen, and asked, "What's this about a trip to Seattle?"
"Oh, there's this pen-pal I have that lives over there," explained Josh. "And he invited me and Drake to come hang out with him for a few days, as well as offering to fix Drake's website, but someone got three tickets instead of two, so now we're trying to figure out who to take with us."
"Alright, hold up, your pen-pal friend doesn't need to do anything to my website," said Drake, giving his brother a frown. "Trevor's 2nd cousin already got that taken care of."
Josh rolled his eyes, and replied, "As your manager, bro, I don't think your current website is the right fit for you. We need something that everyone will want to visit when they buy your music off of PearTunes, or see you perform at a show-"
"Dude, come on, my site has games and funny, little animations and everything," exclaimed Drake, causing Josh to just look at him. "What?"
"Well, why don't you guys take your sister with you?" offered Mrs. Parker, which took the two of them by surprise.
Drake and Josh both looked at her, and exclaimed, "Megan?"
"Me?" said Megan, looking away from her computer screen. "Why would I want to go with them to Seattle?"
"Because you three haven't really spent time with each other, and I think this sounds like the perfect opportunity for-"
Drake let out a groan, and he cried, "Ugh, Mom, come on, she's the last person we would ever consider taking with is. Besides, she doesn't even want to go… I don't want her to go… Josh doesn't want-"
"Well, uh… I actually wouldn't mind if, um…"
The young guitarist looked at his brother, in shock, and said, "Seriously?"
"Hey, I can hear what you're saying, dum-dum," said Megan, who was starting to frown. "And I never said I didn't want-"
"Okay, enough," exclaimed Mrs. Parker, causing the three of them to close their mouths. "See? This is what I'm talking about… you three need to go and share the experience of this trip together, which means that you boys are taking your sister with you."
When she heard her mother say the word experience, Megan looked back at her computer screen, which showed her still-blank essay, and a small smile appeared on her face.
As for Drake, he let out a groan, and was about to complain when he noticed his mom's stern expression. "Oh, alright, fine… Megan, hurry up and go pack your stuff. We're leaving in 5 minutes."
"No, we're not," corrected Josh. "We still got, like, an hour until we have to go to the airport."
Drake just muttered underneath his breath, and Mrs. Parker let out a sigh. "Megan, sweetie, please go and start packing."
"Sure, Mom," replied Megan, who moved away from the dining room table, but then, she stopped by the couch. "I thought that Bludge guy was your pen pal."
"He is, but the one from Seattle is my other, non-violent pen pal," explained Josh. "His name is Freddie, and he also used to be a part of this huge webshow called… um… I can't remember, but I know that a lot of people enjoyed it."
Drake smirked, and replied, "Oh, please, what webshow could he have possibly been a part of?"
