Hola!

Sorry, it's been a while. I've been a little busy. Yep. Oh, and I can't update for a while longer. I leave for band camp on Sunday. I have pre-camp (cause I'm a freshman) today, packing tomorrow, and then a friend is sleeping over the next day because she's carpooling with us for the 90 minute drive. Then band camp starts Sunday. Ends Wed. I'll be back just in time to sleep and go to work with my mom on Thursday.

Wow. My life is busy. Lol.

Okay, yeah…I just wanted to let you know I may not update again until next Thursday or Friday.

Disclaimer:

We've gone over this quite a few times.

Do I really need to tell you I'm not Dan Schneider?

That's what I thought.

Sam's POV:

I woke up to the smell of bacon. When my eyes opened, I saw Kat standing in front of the couch, smiling.

"Morning!" She said cheerily.

"Why are you up so early? And why are you so…Happy…About being up this early?" I questioned, eyeing the plate in her hands. There were ten pieces of delicious bacon on that plate and I wanted it bad.

"Because," Kat started. She paused and then sighed, "It doesn't really matter. You'll know later, anyway." I cocked my head to one side in a questioning way. Kat just ignored me and set the plate of bacon down. She slowly walked up the Shay's staircase, mumbling for me to enjoy my breakfast of only meat.

I'd barely gotten the whole plate full of bacon stuffed in my cheeks before Freddie came bounding down the stairs. He looked at my and smiled. I attempted to smile back, but a small chunk of bacon fell from my lips.

"Morning, Ms. Squirrel." I rolled my eyes and attempted to swallow before answering.

"Morning, Diphthong." I pulled the blankets off of me and jumped up, "So, why's your sister so excited this morning? She nearly attacked me with this plate," I picked up the pink plate and pointed to it, "of delicious bacon." I sat back down and relaxed as the couch molded around me. Freddie sat next to me and sighed.

"I'm not really sure. She's been like that since about five o'clock this morning. She woke me up to help her decide what we're going to do today. I thought I'd have to kill her if she'd have said 'that's perfect for my plan-I mean, our perfect day today.' one more time. I don't even want to know what her plan is. It's probably ridiculous.

"Wow. She is a Benson. All Benson's are freaks!" I smiled as I flicked Freddie's forehead. He didn't seem to even notice that I did. He just kept looking at me. He's so weird. Like mother like son, I suppose.

Freddie's POV:

I couldn't help but stare at Sam as she spoke about how weird my whole family is. I can't deny that she's completely dead on about my family.

"Yours isn't any more normal than mine is, Puckett. I mean, your mother is as weird as mine, your sister is your polar opposite, and you have a possessed cat. And it's not like you even know who your mom's even dating right now." I smirked as she rolled her sea blue eyes. They're so gorgeous. And she is, too.

I can't believe I decided to tell Carly about my feelings for Sam. She better not spill to Sam. Or worse, my sister.

"Actually, I do. She's dating Lesley. She calls him Lee. He's super embarrassed by his name, and super shy, too. My mom has a soft spot for softies." We fell silent for a while. We just sat together, staring at the blank TV. At one point after she told me about her mom's new boyfriend, I thought I heard her whisper, "Like mother like daughter." This made me slightly hopeful that she may recuperate the feelings I have for her, but it shattered as I thought of how stupid I was for thinking something like that.

I was glad when Sam finally broke our silence, "So, what did you guys finally decide on? Where are we going for today's adventure?" She asked. As she said this, Carly came running down the stairs with her hair in a ponytail. She had a pink polka dot tot bag thrown over her left shoulder and a neon orange towel tucked under her arm.

"You guys ready for the water park!" She screamed, pumping her free fist into the air. Sam seemed to laugh at Carly just a little bit.

"Well, that answers my question." Sam said, jumping up and running to the stairs.

"Where are you going?" I asked. Sam turned around and watched me for a second as if she was thinking. She then quickly shook her head and glanced at my again.

"To get dressed, dur. I can't go to he carnival like this!" She motioned to her outfit. I blushed as my eyes came to her short (very short) boxers. She then quickly turned around to sprint up the stairs.

"Are you going to take advantage of today and try to get Sam to be yours?" A voice came to me. I turned to look at Carly. She was digging through her bag in frustration. Finally, she pulled out a pair of white sunglasses, looked up at me, and put the sunglasses on the top of her head.

"Um, what? I'm taking today like I do every day. I'm going to try not to be killed by the girl I'm obsessed over, and have fun at the same time." Carly nodded and turned for the kitchen.

"Want an iced tea?" She screamed, turning to look out of the fridge.

"Nah. Hey, I'm gunna go. I better get changed for today." I began to leave before I heard a scream from upstairs.

"Oh no, no, no, no, no!" Kat screamed as she fled down the stairs, running to me.

"Oh no, no, no, no, no, what?" I asked sarcastically, thinking that a minor mishap happened with her outfit or something.

"It's Jim! He's coming back early." I shrugged, wondering why this was a bad thing.

"So? He's your husband. What's wrong with that?"

"He's coming back tomorrow because he has this big job dinner that will determine whether he gets this big promotion he's been begging for. They asked for his wife to be there so they can discuss something with me. I'm not sure what, but I have to be there. No rescheduling, either. And if his wife isn't there…Oh, no…Jim said he got me a ticket to leave tomorrow at 7:00 AM. This ruins my plan!" She covered her mouth. I guess she didn't mean to say that last part. I began to get a little curious.

"Um, one, it's okay, you can come back in a few months, we'll continue our fun times. Promise. And two, you keep saying things about a plan. What is your plan?" My panicked looking sister looked at me and then to Carly.

"Well…" Kat began.

Wow. Short, I know. I'm just super busy. There's gunna be an update in the next week, though (I think).

This chapter was really hard to write. I'm not really sue why. Sorry if it's not as good as the others. It was just harder. Weird/
