Chapter 1 - Dinner with the Bensons

Spencer was in the kitchen making dinner as usual, while Carly was flipping through the channels on the TV furiously.

"Stupid, Mariah!" She yelled, pushing the buttons on the remote as hard as she could.

"Carly!" Spencer called to her. "Calm down, you're going to break the remote."

"Blech!" She yelled back while settling at a channel. Mariah was Freddie's new girlfriend (Sam liked to say only) who didn't like Carly.

"What are you making for dinner anyway?" Carly asked Spencer.

"I have know idea," he said.

Carly smiled at her brother. "What do you mean you have no idea?"

"I'm not sure how to pronounce it. I think it's in French. I got the recipe out of a cookbook. It's some weird chicken thing," he said looking at the cookbook and stirring something in a pot simultaneously.

"Great, we're eating some weird chicken thing," Carly said sarcastically.

Spencer took rolls out of the oven and put them on the cook top. He took out a small plate from one of the cabinets and put the rolls on them. Then he placed them on the table in the middle.

"When is Freddie and his mom coming over for dinner?" Carly asked, not mentioning Freddie's girlfriend. Mrs. Benson pretty much invited herself to dinner, she wanted to introduce them to Freddie's girlfriend. Even though Carly already met her.

"At 7:00, and it's 6:52! Shoot!" Spencer finished making the food and had five plates with food on it on the island counter. He ran to his room to change.

Carly turned off the TV and went upstairs to her room to change as well. She smiled as she walked in her room because of it beautifulness. It had just been redone after Spencer set fire to it. She went to her closet and pulled out a nice top and skirt. She brushed her hair and spruced up her make-up.

"Carly!" She heard Spencer yell. "The Bensons are here!"

"Coming!" She yelled back. She took one last look in her mirror and ran downstairs.

Freddie, his mom, and his girlfriend were sitting at their table while Spencer was getting their food.

He was setting their plates on the table. "Enjoy," he said while setting his own and Carly's plate down.

Carly walked downstairs and said, "Hey Freddie, Mrs. Benson, Mariah."

"Hey," Freddie said cheerily.

"Hello, Carly," said Mrs. Benson in her usual bossy tone. "Have you met Mariah?"

"Yes, I have," Carly said while sitting down.

"What is this we're eating, Spencer?" Mrs. Benson said.

Carly looked over at Spencer who looked scared. Spencer said quietly, "Polly la bouquet?"

"Do you mean Poulet à la Basquaise?" Mrs. Benson asked slowly as if Spencer was a child.

Spencer nodded. After Mrs. Benson took a bite she said, "Well, it's delicious!"

After a dinner of Mrs. Benson going on and on about how great Mariah is, Carly and Freddie went up to the studio so Freddie could show her something.

"What do you want to show me so bad?" She asked.

"Ok, don't be mad but I'm using the studio to build something. If it's okay with you and Spencer," he said.

"It depends what it is."

Freddie opened the door to the studio and said, "It's a time machine!"

It looked like a pile of junk to Carly. "That's a time machine?"

Freddie nodded. "Yeah! So can I build it here?"

"Sure, why not," Carly said.

At that moment, Mariah came into the room. "Hey Freddie, do you think I can talk to Carly alone about…girl stuff?"

"Sure, ok," he said, leaving.

When he was gone Mariah's face turned mean. "Ok, Carly. Stop flirting with Freddie."

Carly laughed. "I wasn't flirting with him, we're just friends. He was showing me his time machi-"

"Time machine, yeah I know," Mariah interrupted. "I don't care about it. Just don't hang around Freddie as much, ok?"

"You can't tell me what to-" Carly started, but Mariah left.

Carly sighed. "You really know how to pick em', Freddie," she said to herself quietly.
