"What just happened?" Sam asked me, as we pulled away from one another.

"I don't know," I said carefully. "But I think I like it."

"You do?" squeaked Sam.

"Yeah," I say, nodding my head slowly. "Do you like it?"

"I have to… go," she said hesitantly as she pushed against me slightly and ran off before I could stop her.

Her question was too right. 'What just happened?' indeed.

I walked into the Shay apartment to find everyone cheering and carrying on like five year olds high on red cordial.

"What's going on?" I ask Spencer.

"It's sooo hot!" he replied with a maniac laugh.

"Yeah I know," agreed my mom, fanning herself with a hand.

"If I wasn't shirtless right now, I would have to take off my shirt!" Gibby shouted out randomly.

"Okay," I said, unsure of the whole crazy situation.

"The bad news is," said Specner, still full of giggles. "I can't fix that darn air conditioner!"

My mother joined in the fun. "…and we all have to suffer because of it!" she said excitedly.

"I didn't invent cheesecake, despite what Carly said!" Gibby added, beaming a smile toward me.

"I'm just gonna…" I say, slowly backing up the stairs.

Wow, if I had space madness, cramped in that small space pod thingy for not even a full twelve hours I was sure experiencing some kind of 'heat madness' now! It didn't make sense. Spencer giving up on fixing something, my mom acting loopy (actually that one doesn't surprise me at all) and Gibby being… well Gibby, I guess. It's funny, but ever since he saved all three of us from that psycho girl's basement, all of us have acted more gratefully toward the boy. I mean, why shouldn't we? Without him, we'd all be stuck in that sound booth guarded by that crazy girl and her pet chicken. Not an ideal situation to be stuck in let me tell you!

"You WHAT!" I heard Carly's voice, even though I was only on the second floor. "That's despicable, Griffen! I didn't realize you were that much of a jerk!"

"I did it because I care about you," his voice replied, loudly.

"Oh yeah," replied Carly in a sarcastic voice. "Like hurting my best friend, by using her just to get me back-what kind of insane skunk bag are you?"

"I like you a lot Carly," said Griffen in a quiet sort of way.

"Well, trying to 'get me back' through Sam, is not the right way to go about it," said Carly, her voice getting shriller every time she spoke another sentence.

"I didn't have any other options," said Griffen, hopelessly which made me scoff.

"Get out of my apartment," said Carly, in an even tone, but making it clear she was angry. "Get out, get out, GET OUT!"

"But Carly, it's too hot outside," whined the boy pathetically.

"You should have thought of that, before trying to make me jealous by hurting my best friend like that," said Carly and I could visualize her folding her arms and I heard heavy footsteps as Griffen made his way down the stairs.

"Hey Griffen," I said sternly. "Can I have a word?"

"Ugh, nerd," he said, having a disgusted look on her face.

"I think it's clear that I hate you," I say, glaring at him and then before I could stop myself-I do something completely out of character. I punch the guy in the middle of his face, making his knees bend and him fall to the ground. "That's for hurting Sam, like you did… no one hurts my blonde headed demon!"

"Got it," said Griffen, holding his nose and quickly stood up, looked at me with a scared look and rushed down the stairs and, hopefully, out of the Shay apartment forever.

"So, just like that, Freddie kissed you?" Carly asked her.

"Yeah," replied Sam. "I mean, it was totally weird!"

"Is that what you think?" I ask her, as I walk into the kitchen.

"Freddie," said Carly nervously. "We didn't know that you were…"

"In the room?" I say, with a snort of annoyance. "Yeah, I figured as much."

"I'm sorry," said Carly, looking down.

"You have nothing to be sorry for," I say and nod my head toward the blonde girl who was looking a little more pale in the face than usual.

"Sam," said Carly, and nudged her best friend.

"What?" hissed Sam and glared at Carly before turning her head to glare at me. "It's not my fault Fredlumps is a nub."

"Well I guess I'm going," I said, storming toward the door.

"Please stay," said Carly in that sweet voice that would have stopped me once before.

"Not going to happen," I snap back at her causing her expression going from innocent, to surprise and even Sam looks slightly shocked. I slam the door behind me and slam my fists onto my apartment door but then realize it hurt slightly, so tried to shake the pain away.

"Only a nub would do that," said a voice as Carly's apartment door opened and closed again.

"If you're here to just insult me Sam…" I start to say, not looking at her, until she pulled me around to face her.

"I'm not," she said which caught me off guard. "Actually I really came to… a…a…apologise."

"Yeah?" I say, in interest now.

"I'm sorry for… leaving you after we… you know… and then you said… yeah… I felt kind of bad afterwards," she stammered out.

"This is your apology?" I ask her, crossing my arms and smirk slightly.

"Can it Freddork," she said taking a threatening step toward me. "Or, you won't get… this…"

"Get wha…" I begin to say but then I'm cut off by her mouth crashing on to mine, slamming me to the wall with more force than necessary.

When she pulled away, we both side down the wall on opposite sides of the hallway between my apartment and Carly's apartment. We sat there for a minute, in silence, and we both were breathing heavily and unsynchronized with one another. Before we could stop ourselves, we were up and kissing each other with a certain passion that it was sure only existed because we 'hated' each other so much for so long now. I found myself winding my arms around her, pulling her closer to me and she actually placed her arms around my neck, drawing me into her.

"Hey guys, Spencer just fixed the… what the?" yelled Gibby's voice, causing us to panic and pull away from one another.

"Sam… Freddie…?" he said, cautiously. "What's going on?"

"Nothing," we said simultaneously, but instead of scowling, Sam giggled while looking at me and I also had a bit of a chuckle.

"You guys are dating now?" he asked Sam, mainly. "Whoa, go to the bathroom for like five minutes and the whole world starts spinning backwardly inside out!"

"No," I say and then look at Sam who smirks at me.

"Well, Spencer has fixed the air conditioner anyways," he said, rubbing his bare stomach-I'll never quite understand that kid. "So come inside for the coolness!"

"Thanks Gib," said Sam, pushing him back into the Shay apartment then she turned to face me. "You comin' fredlumps?"

"Yeah," I said with a slight grin as I walked into Carly's apartment behind Sam and was totally ready to beat the heat.

The end!

Finally done-and wouldn't it be just fabulously fabulous if it happened this way in the actual episode? Omg, I would scream in pure delightness joy! Yes, it's a word!

Thank you to all those people who read my story and hopefully we don't have to wait long for the actual iCarly episode 'iBeat the Heat' to be aired! Argh! So excited!
