In my fanfic Carly, Sam and Freddie are hired to be actors on a new up and coming TV series. But what happens when, in the process of their acting, they begin to form new relationships? I'm hoping to make it a Seddie but I figure I'll just let you guys, the readers (*cough* If I have any *cough* ), decide if you want it to be a seddie or a creddie.

The Characters

I know everyone knows the characters on the show but this is necessary because I'm creating some new characters for fun and for purposes to be later revealed

Carly Shay- She's the pretty brunette girl and one of the stars of popular web show, iCarly. Her best friends are Sam and Freddie, who has a massive crush on her. She's the one who keeps them together. She can be serious when she needs to but has a killer sense of humor.

Spencer Shay- Carly's older brother. He's an artist and he is filled with child-like wonder. He may be in charge of Carly but he's not the most responsible of the two. He's fun loving and easily excited. His sculptures and ideas, while always odd, are usually pretty cool. He is also close to Carly's friends, Sam and Freddie.

Sam Puckett- She's the tough blond. She may be tiny but if you mistake her for meek it will be the last mistake you ever make. She has a very self-centered attitude but cares deeply for Carly though no one is quite sure if she sees Freddie as a friend as well as the super annoying kid who won't leave her and Carly alone. She has a very short temper and gives her all to most thing. Her sarcasm is always funny.

Fredward (Freddie) Benson- The short kid with the round features who just recently started to grow into his looks. He's great with all things technical and insists he's in love with Carly. He and Sam fight like cats and dogs but he's managed to create real bonds with both girls. His mother is insanely paranoid and Freddie hates it but is ever unable to stand up to her.

Now for the newbies…

Jane Marcs- The casting director for a new television series called Specials about five teens who attend a super elite boarding school and develop supernatural powers to combat the growing threat of the Dark Mages. She's running out of time to find her stars! She's around forty and divorced but dating with a twelve year old daughter with a deep love of webshows…

Zach Snow- He's the regular teen fifteen year old boy. He's super funny with a presence people crave. He just draws people to him. Despite this he's not super popular. He doesn't really like school even with his being really smart and he prefers just hanging out. He likes band however and could sing really well if he tried. Oddly enough even though everyone likes him, his best friend is his childhood buddy, Heather Rivera and they never leave each other's sides if they can help it. But will all that change when his uncle unexpectedly shows up at his house when his family and Heather were having a barbecue. And, shockingly, his uncle is dating someone, a high power casting director for the shows on a popular teen TV channel…

Heather Rivera- Her family is pure Spanish but they left Spain when she was less then a year old and bought a house right outside of Seattle. Surprisingly her mother met up with an old friend of hers from college who was living right near them, Maddie Snow. It turned out Maddie had just had a kid too; in fact he'd been born just a week before Heather. Thus the beginning of Zach and Heather's friendship. Heather is a girl with a fiery temper who yields to no one and could give a mule a run for its money in the stubborn category. She's super loyal to Zach and anyone else she decides is friend-worthy. She's really funny and sarcastic, she's also unpredictable, you never know which way she'll jump so you best watch your back around her. She's taken a few years of karate so she's far from being physically weak…in fact her only weak point is Zach and her deep crush on him.

Now for the story…

"I know, I know! But the deadline is coming soon and I still need my leading actors! No one who's auditioned seems to fit the parts! I'm sorry Kale. I know I promised- Hang on a sec…" Placing her hand over the phone Jane Marcs leaned back to yell at her daughter. "Miley turn that down!"

Her daughter, only a twelve year old but already in her rebellious stage, looked up from where she lay watching her laptop on the couch and rolled her eyes at her mother.

Her mother glared. Speaking into the phone she said " Sorry Kale, I'll just be a minute." With that she set her cellphone down on the counter headed for the couch where she neatly plucked the laptop from her daughters hands despite Miley's cries of "Hey!" and "You can't do that!"

Sighing Jane muted the laptop and set it on the table in front of her. As she picked up the phone she could hear her daughter stomping to her room just before she heard a door slam. "Hey Kale, I'm back. What was I…oh yeah! I'm really sorry I can't make it to the barbeque at your brothers but I just can't get away from work right now and…"

" …Jane? Jane? Hey are you still there?" A male voice said on the other end of the line.

But Jane didn't hear him. She was two busy watching the two girls on her daughters laptop. The two of them looked exactly the same age as two of the stars she needed. Grinning she spoke into the phone hurriedly. " Yeah I'm here. I'll have to call you back…and umm I might make it to that barbecue after all." She said as she pushed END. Reaching for her laptop she scanned the site until she found the technical producers email. Figuring this was better then nothing she began to draft her request. She had to be careful. She couldn't let these girls think she wasn't for real or else… well finding three more stars would be a challenge, but if these two girls wouldn't audition she'd have to start the hunt all over again but still…she could finally allow herself to hope.

"And we are…clear!" Freddie said, flicking the switch to kill the feed and setting his camera back down. " Great show tonight guys!" He grinned.

" Yeah, great job Carly." Sam grinned at her friend and smirked mockingly at Freddie.

" You guys, don't start! We had a good episode and Spencer's making spaghetti taco's and we have the new season of Girly Cow on DVD…can't you please just get along for one night?" Carly pleaded.

" I would but she just insults me, she just insults me for no reason! How can you get along with that?" Freddie protested.

" Oh shut it Freddork. Finish up your stupid techy stuff so we can get down and eat! I'm starved." Sam said, flopping back down on a beanbag with exaggerated weakness.

"I'm almost done! Take a chill pill!" Freddie snapped as he finished on his computer and grabbed his laptop. " There! We can go! Now was that so bad?" He demanded about thirty seconds later.

Sam rolled her eyes. " Still half a minute I could have spent eating."

"No one's going to eat if you guys can't stop fighting!" Carly yelled.

Abruptly the two fell silent and they filed into the elevator. As soon as they stepped out they were greeted by Spencer who held a plate full of spaghetti taco's. He wore a green T-shirt, orange shorts and tall blue knee-high light up socks with orange chickens on them and he had a wide grin on his face.

" Eat up you guys!" He cheered.

" Sweet!" Sam said, immediately grabbing two, one for each hand, and bit of about half of the first one straightaway.

Chuckling Carly grabbed one and Freddie did likewise as they flopped down on the couch. After inserting the DVD Spencer sat down beside them. It was a close fit, Freddie got shoved between the end of the couch and Sam who was being squished by Carly who hardly noticed the lack of space due to the pulsing lights of the chickens on Spencer's socks.

" Should they be doing that?" Carly asked Spencer, fighting a grin.

" Oh yeah, you mean that thing where they light up all freaky like their going insane then stop for a minute then flash super bright?" Spencer asked.

"Yeah." Carly raised a brow

"Yep. They always do that." Spencer said simply as he looked around. " Hey where's the remote?"

Sam grimaced as she felt something underneath her and pulled the remote out from under her leg. Freddie made a face and a sound of disgust but Spencer just took the remote without complaint and started the movie.

Around an hour into the movie Freddie realized he'd seen the current episode before and, trying not to jostle Sam who would have killed him for interrupting the show, reached down for his laptop and powered it on. His computer pinged softly as he got online to show him he had a new email.

Making small movements he clicked unto his email. The subject of the mail read: I have a Proposition for Carly Shay and Sam Puckett. Suspiciously Freddie checked the sender. .

(Apparently this is a real email address but I totally don't know who owns it. I was just making it up. Still I'd really rather you try not to bug whoever owns the account. Don't wanna be held legally responsible for anything…)

Grudgingly he clicked on the mail and opened it, muttering threats about what he'd do if this crashed his laptop.

Subject: I have a Proposition for Carly Shay and Sam Puckett

Dear Technical Producer of iCarly,

My name is Jane Marcs and I'm the lead casting director for the channel Teen Dream TV. We are currently working on a new series called Specials, however I have yet to cast anyone for the lead roles. As I could not find any way to contact Carly and Sam I am hoping you will give this message to them. I would like them to audition for two of the leading roles. I can't guarantee they will be hired because I haven't seen them in any of the roles but I think they have real talent. Please response promptly.

Sincerely,

Jane Marcs

Freddie reread the email twice before it sunk in. Even he had heard of Teen Dream TV, it produced some of the most watched teen shows ever! But still…was this for real? What if this was just Nevel trying to screw with them? Or what if this was going to turn out to be like the time iCarly almost went TV? Then again it wasn't their show so the director couldn't ruin it or anything…but even so should he tell Carly and Sam? Would they even want to know? This whole thing sounded too good to be true. It was probably best not to say anything, what if it was just some random viewer trying to mess with them?

" God Fredweird turn off that stupid thing and watch the movie already!" Sam snapped, ripping the laptop from his hands before he could even say a word.

" Sam! No give me tha-" Freddie protested.

" Oh Freddie got an email!" Sam singsonged as she stood up and began to read, speed walking away from Freddie who raced to retrieve his computer.

"Dear Technical Producer of iCarly…" Sam laughed as she read aloud but he could see her brows crinkle in confusion.

"Sam!" Carly moaned as she sat up and paused the movie.

"No wait Carl's. Look at this." Sam said earnestly, motioning Carly over to her side.

Sighing Carly peered over Sam's shoulder and began to read.

"Look, guys I think this is all some big joke. We probably shouldn't respond. I mean what if she's a crazy? What if it's not even a she?" Freddie said, bothered that he had to explain Internet safety to these two.

"What's a joke?" Spencer said, getting up from the couch to join the group.

"This email I got from some lady pretending to be a TV show casting director named Jane Marcs who wa-"

"Jane Marcs?" Spencer yelled.

" You know her?" Carly asked, looking up from where she was rereading the email.

"Well no not really but I've seen her on TV. You were at school and I was watching

Opra-" Spencer paused and continued sheepishly. " I was watching TV and they did a special where she guest starred. She was talking about the pressures of being a modern day high power woman and stress and stuff." Spencer said.

"So this chicks for real then?" Sam asked.

"Well yeah, but we have no guarantee the email is even from her!" Freddie protested.

"Yeah but we can find out!" Carly said, grinning as she clicked off the email and navigated to the Teen Dream TV official site where she searched and clicked until she found a list of the people that helped make the shows possible. Clicking this she then scrolled down to Jane Marcs and clicked.

A pink page popped up abruptly. In looping script it said Jane Marcs at the top of it and underneath was a picture of a thin blond woman with practical black square glasses and a short bob. Below this was a little button that said to contact her at .

By now everyone was watching the laptop and upon seeing the evidence looked at each other, startled.

"It could still be a joke. She could have been hacked…" Freddie said but for the first time he didn't sound convinced.

Carly looked at Sam. " Think we should go for it? You know, just email her back to see?"

Sam shrugged. " I guess. I mean if it is for real we don't really want to offend the lady."

"Alright." Carly said as she clicked back unto Freddie's email and began to type.

Dear Ms. Marcs,

This is Carly Shay and Sam Puckett. We read your offer and have to admit we're intrigued. If this is for real we wouldn't mind giving it a shot. What do you want us to do for the auditions?

Carly and Sam

Without a second thought Carly clicked Send. Freddie sighed. " I seriously hope you didn't just do something that will hurt my laptop." He said.

" Hey, it survived a lot worse." Sam smirked, remembering the time she dumped her breakfast down Freddie's backpack. His laptop had been in there at the time. She smiled to herself.

"Yeah no thanks to you!" Freddie snapped. He remembered too.

" Guys!" Carly snapped, exasperated.

"Sorry Carly." Freddie muttered.

"So what do we do now?" Sam asked, gesturing to the laptop on the counter. Spencer had taken over and was now looking up some random thing about the history of Pak Rat.

"I guess we just wait and see…" Carly said.

Sam shrugged and nodded before heading for the refrigerator. Within seconds she had located the ham and was eating ravenously.

"You just ate!" Freddie said in disbelief.

"How is it your still surprised?" Carly chuckled. Then again Sam did have a way of surprising you.

"Hey you guys! The computer dinged." Spencer hollered from the couch.

Carly, Sam and Freddie looked at each other then ran for the laptop.

Spencer watched the whole scene unfold as finished his spaghetti tacos.

"Hurry up!" Sam yelled at Freddie who had taken back his computer.

"I'm trying!" Freddie snapped as he opened the email and began to read aloud.

Dear Carly and Sam,

Thank you for your swift response. You have my thanks. We would like for the two of you to report to the Teen Dream TV studio at 1:30 on Sunday. Tell the front desk your names and they'll tell you where to go. Thanks so much! I'm including a map to the studio in this email in case you need directions. Hope to see you there. Thanks again.

Sincerely,

Jane Marcs

Carly looked at Sam and grinned. "This is so cool! Were gonna be TV stars!" She squealed.

Sam grinned happily. " You bet we are!"

"So what time are we meeting to go to the studio Sunday?" Freddie asked.

"I was thinking at a-" Carly started before being interrupted by Sam.

"We? What do you mean we? I don't recall your little geek self being invited to audition." She snapped.

"Yeah right, like I'd let you guys go alone! What if you get in trouble an-"

Sam snorted. "Yeah, because your ability to set up a wireless connection is gonna get us out of a serious situation." She made a puppy like face and sarcastically feigned sweetness before continuing. "But its so sweet you wanna protect Carly from the big bad casting director…" She mocked.

Blood rushed to Freddie's face. "That's not…You…Why are you so evil?!" He snapped.

" Ahh…the better question is…how come you aren't?" Sam smirked.

" What?" Freddie exclaimed. "It is not! That doesn't make any se-" He jerked as he was sprayed in the face with a spray bottle. "Hey!"

In the commotion no one had notice Carly walk into the kitchen to retrieve her old spray bottle. Sam glared when she was sprayed as well.

"I'm serious you two!" She looked at Freddie. "Look, its getting kinda late. Why don't you go home before your mo-" She broke off as the door flung open to reveal a furious Mrs. Benson.

"Freddie!" She snapped. Freddie groaned. "You are twelve and a half minutes late! How many times have I told you to call if you're going to be late? Now the water for your tick bath is going to get cold!"

"Mom! I told you I don't need those! And I'm right across the hall!" Freddie protested.

"Sure you are! Now! But what happens when right across the hall becomes one floor down, and then one block away then a few hours away and then before you know it your in Japan eating raw fish and getting all kinds of germs!" Freddie's mom looked terrified and for a moment Sam and Carly had to wonder if she'd freaked herself out. "That's it young man, your coming with me!" She said and grabbed Freddie and dragged him across the hall.

"Mom!" Freddie moaned.

"I assume you'll be inviting yourself to spend the night?" Carly asked after Mrs. Benson shut the door.

"You assume correctly." Sam nodded as she lay down on the couch.

Carly laughed. " 'Kay. I"ll go get us some extra pillows and popcorn so we can finish Girly Cow."

It took a few hours but eventually the girls fell asleep, dreams of stardom dancing in their heads.
