The Not So Sweet Life of iCarly
Chapter 1. Arrive and Bail
Hello! This is my first fanfiction that I have actually posted online! I hope you guys like it. I do not own The Suite Life of Zack and Cody or iCarly.
It's main focus is on Spencer but there will be some times when it is not focused on him. Prepare for plot twists, fluffy romances, scandalous romances, avid fans, and ... MORE!
AND to make it clear, Maddie and London are both a lot older than they was in the original Suite Life. I thought about their age difference and make Spencer a bit younger and the girls a bit older.
Enjoy!
"Yes!" A loud shout from Mr. Moseby came from all the way across the lobby. He was standing at the front desk looking more than pleased. "Maddie!" He called as he ran over to the blonde working at the Candy Counter. "Guess who I booked to stay at the Tipton for a few months?"
"Wait, why would you book someone to stay here? Aren't they supposed to book themselves?"
"Well you see dear Madeline, I just got an email from a famous webshow trio conforming that they'd stay at the Tipton and give us publicity in every episode for the next three months!"
"Oh that's wonderful, Mr. Moseby! Who's the webshow group?"
"Ah, it's a group called iCarly and they're very popular amongst pre-teens. They get millions of views for each webcast."
"Wow. And to think I thought you hated pre-teens." Maddie grinned at Mr. Moseby reminding him of the downside.
"Well, hopefully they're not as bad as the demon brothers I have here and they're older brother is coming to watch them too."
"Hmm, well good luck with that." Maddie said as she looked past Mr. Moseby at the all-too-popular blonde twins that were running to the candy counter. "Speaking of teens."
The hotel manager turned to see his worst nightmares running towards him. "I'm out." He said as he walked away.
"Hey sweet thanng!" Zack greeted.
Maddie rolled eyes and smiled. "Hey Zack. What chya up to now?"
"We heard from a little birdy somewhere that iCarly is going to checking in to the hotel for a few weeks!" Cody blurted out.
"A few weeks? Try a few months!" Maddie said as rearranged the boxes of chocolates on display.
"No way!" They said in sync.
"When are they coming?" Cody asked excitedly.
"Hmm, I'm not sure, but soon I think." Maddie answered. "Is the webshow any good? I've seen it."
"Heck yes!" Cody exclaimed.
"You sure seem overly excited." Maddie said eyeing him.
"The dude's got a major crush on one the girls from the show." Zack blurted out earning a glare from his twin.
"Ohhh!" Maddie teased.
"You better get your cleanest sweater-vest ready for them!" Zack mocked his brother who took it literally.
"You're right!" And with that Cody was already at the elevator.
"So you thinking about replacing me as your new crush for on those iCarly girls?" Maddie smirked.
Zack raised an eyebrow. "Really? Come on babe, no one could replace you."
Spencer had just finished packing his own things for the trip to the hotel with the gang. It would be fun for him to 'venture around a hotel and make more friends.
He brought his luggage to the elevator and made his way downstairs. Carly, Sam, and Freddie must be outside waiting by the car for him. He opened the door but to his surprise Mrs. Benson jumped in the doorway.
Spencer jumped back but clumsily slipped and fell flat on his back. "Mrs. Benson!" He yelled surprise and almost annoyed.
"Spencer Shay, don't tell me you were going to take my little Freddie-Boo all they way to Boston with not inviting me?" She inquired with a crazed look in her eyes.
Not wanting to get involved a big conversation with the seemingly crazy lady Spencer just shrugged, "Well, the plane leaves in a little bit so you wouldn't have time to get your bags packed anyway so I figured it was in our best interest to-"
Mrs. Benson turned and pulled a heavy looking cheetah print luggage bag from the corner and smiled.
"Okay then." Spencer said eyeing the over protective mom from the floor.
The ride in the plane didn't give Spencer much rest considering he had to sit next Mrs. Benson the whole time and listen to here blabber away about how he should cut his hair like Freddie and how he should start sewing his name on every article of clothing he owns. His hair was fine in the shag that it was in and he was twenty-four, not fourteen.
Alas, there wasn't much he could do but endure her long talks for the rest of the plane ride.
It seemed like ages until they were finally at Boston. The Tipton hotel was only a few blocks away too.
Spencer guided the crew over to the exit of the airport and onto the busy streets that was Boston. Spencer smiled at the gang, "Now the fun part is flagging down a taxi. Watch and learn." He said as he waved his arms like a maniac at an on going taxi only to watch it keep passing by.
Carly let out a small giggle as Spencer's face fell. Sam rolled her eyes and stepped up next to Spencer. "Now, watch and learn." She said as she saw one of yellow and black checkered vehicles come speeding towards them.
"You're not gonna be able to stop that one, it's flying down the road." Spencer started but before he could even finish his sentence, Sam had screamed loud enough that the taxi came to a complete half right at their feet.
Sam nodded her head to Spencer and he looked at Carly who simply shrugged.
The taxi ride was much more enjoyable, with Mrs. Benson next to Freddie and Carly and Sam next to Spencer. Within a few minutes they were standing in front of Boston's largest and finest hotels. The Tipton.
"Hey," Spencer grinned, "Race ya inside! Last one in's a dirty toilet bowl brush!"
"Beat ya!" Sam yelled as she slapped her hand down on the front desk.
"Aw, darn." Spencer said as he came in second with Carly right behind him.
"Ahem." Spencer could feel a stare piercing into the back of his head. He reluctantly turned around to be face to face with an unhappy Mr. Moseby.
"Hiya." Spencer greeted with a wave of his hand.
"Hiya." The angry hotel manager mocked back.
"Uhm, we're from iCarly! I'm Carly."
"And I'm Sam!" The duo saved their only sane chaperon from getting in major trouble the first day of checking in.
The angry face lit up. "Ohh! Well please, let me escort you to you suite." He smiled as he bowed and started to lead the group to the elevator.
Something out of the corner of Spencer's eye caught his attention. "Uhm, Carls."
"Yeah?" Carly turned looking at her brother.
"Come back here in fifteen minutes and take me to the room, I gotta check something out."
Carly rolled her eyes, thinking something shiny had caught her brother's attention. "Sure thing, Spence."
Spencer walked across the lobby to a counter. A candy counter! Oh yes, Spencer was in heaven here! He could definitely deal with this! Only no one was currently at the heavenly candy counter.
Spencer began to frown when a head popped up from the counter. Spencer jumped back a little only to take a few steps forward at the sight of a cute blonde smiling from the counter. She was dressed in a blue button on shirt with a tie and an aqua plaid skirt with knee high socks and black boots. This was his kind of woman. Quirky style and she seemed pretty normal, considering the other weird women he dated.
"Hello." She greeted.
"Uhh.. hi." Spencer said back awkwardly scratching his neck. "I, uh, like your candy."
Maddie couldn't help but laugh. "Uh, thanks. Want some? It'll only cost you a few bucks." She played back.
Spencer sheepishly smiled back at what he thought was very, very, very subtle flirting. "Your nuget bars seem promising." He said.
"Indeed." Maddie took a few of the candy bars she had from display and laid them on the counter. "That would be three seventy-five."
Spencer took out his wallet and paid her for the candy. "By the by, my name is Spencer Shay and I'm the older brother of one of the stars from iCarly." He said attempting to impress the candy girl.
"Ohh, I've heard you guys were coming! Everyone will be so excited. Oh! And I'm Maddie." She offered a hand for him to shake. "Nice to meet you Spencer Shay."
Spencer looked at her outstretched hand for a bit before realizing what she wanted him to do. "Oh! Sorry." He apologized before shaking her hand. "It's been a long plane ride."
Maddie nodded trying to hide her giggling.
"So, can I find you 'round here often?" He asked deciding it was time he turned up the charm.
"Mhhhm. I work here for a decent amount of cash. I live right down the street from here."
"Oh, so you don't live in the hotel?"
"No way! Can't afford it."
"But I can!" A voice from behind Spencer exclaimed. A dark haired asian beauty walked from the front door to the candy counter. Spencer began to like this place a lot more. "I don't know what you're talking about but I can probably afford it." She smiled.
Maddie just rolled her eyes and looked at Spencer, "If you haven't figured it out already this is London Tipton. Her dad owns the place."
"Ohh, that explains the last name and the rich-ness." Spencer said as he observed the expensive clothing she was wearing.
"And who is this street walker?" London asked as she stared Spencer up and down.
"This," Maddie said motioning towards the confused looking boy, "is Spencer Shay from iCarly."
"Oh! I've heard of that webshow!" She looked him up and down once more. "I thought they'd have better fashion taste than that!" She said almost to herself but announced it so the whole hotel could hear. "I mean really, a plaid jacket left open with a white t-shirt underneath! It makes you look like slob!" London began to pick Spencer apart.
"Umm, London! I don't think he came here for fashion advice." Maddie pointed out as she handed Spencer his bag of candy. "My advice to you," Maddie grabbed Spencer's collar and leaned him towards her and whispered in his ear, "Take your nuget and RUN!"
She let go of Spencer who was only to be dragged from the same place in the opposite direction towards a scornful London. "And my advice to you, plaid is so last season." She gave extra attention to Maddie's plaid skirt.
"Oh, don't listen to her! She doesn't know Australia from Africa!" Maddie insulted.
London glared at Maddie. "Yeah, well she doesn't know her Gucci from her Coach!
Spencer was being caught in the middle of a girl fight, and not the good kind. So much for finding normal girls. "Hey! Ladies, ladies!" Spencer attempted to stop the fight before they whipped out their claws.
"What!?" The girls both glared at him with frowns on their faces.
Spencer turned to look at Maddie and then turned to look at London. What to do? What to do? Spencer grabbed his bag of nuget and ran to the elevator just in time to fling a hotel guest out of the elevator to make room for his frantic pushing of the 'close doors button.
Awwwh poor Spencer. :P
I'm not sure if 'nuget' is spelled correctly. It might be 'nougat' .... maybe it depends on where you're from? Oh well.
I'll be posting the next chapter soon enough :D
(Btw, I heard this song with the lyrics "I fell in love with an ostridge" and it reminded me of Spencer xD)
