Emma: I'M SO SO SORRY! D': Don't kill me, okay? I know it's been FOREVER since I updated, but I have started back school so I am loaded with homework and studying for my exams! Also, I had a mild case of Writer's block. Just for you, I'm making this a long chapter(:

Disclaimer: Yup, that's right I own iCarly. (Note the sarcasm here)


Normal POV

Sam and Freddie both walked into the restaurant as Carly trailed along behind them.

"I can't believe I agreed to this" she moaned as she followed them inside.

"Just be quiet and sit over there" Sam motioned her over towards a table at the other side of the room. Far away enough for her to not get in the way, but close enough for her to stop any arguements, if needed.

The waiter immediately brought dishes to their table.

Sam grew confused, "But, we haven't even ordered yet?" then she looked at Freddie who had a huge smirk placed on his face.

"I pre-ordered, so they'd have everything ready. I know how you hate to sit and wait for your food" he smiled. Sam's cheek was the color of blood and she couldn't make it go away. Just looking into the brown glow in his eyes made blood rush to her face.

Sam looked at the plate as she gasped. A plate filled with lasagna lay on it; Her favourite.

Fredde had planned everything in advance, he wanted everything to be perfect.

Carly smiled in awe, but then saw nothing lay infront of her. She looked over and asked, "You couldn't have ordered me anything?" but they were too busy taken away by the food to notice.

"So, am I supposed to just sit here and wait for you guys to have a fight so I can settle it?" she asked which finally caught their attention.

"Pretty much"

"We'd really appreciate that" Freddie smiled as he returned back to the date. Carly sighed and motioned for a waiter as she made her order.

Sam smiled as she gulped down her lasanga, not caring about manners.

Freddie smirked and ate slowly at his meal, trying to savour every last second of this moment with Sam. He knew that this relationship was going to have it's tough moments, so he wanted to savour the times where everything went perfectly. He knew that, eating here with Sam by his side as their hearts beat in harmony, it was going to be a moment he'd never forget for a long time.

Unknown to the trio, at the far left hand corner of the restaurant, sat a boy covered in the best disguise he could throw together. His camera phone was out and pointed at them in the most discreet way he could manage. His jacket stretched and covered most of his face, trying desperately hard not to be seen.

Deep down, he knew what he was doing was wrong and that he was betraying his friends. But heck! You only get one chance to be a detective, and this was his.

"Be right back, I need to take a whazz" Sam announced as she rose from the booth and headed to the back where the ladies room was. Carly jumped out her seat and ran into Sam's spot across from Freddie.

"So, how's the date?" she smiled. Freddie tried to hold back his blush, but the red colour of blood still seeped through his cheeks.

"Good" he smiled and put down his fork after eating the last piece of lasanga his stomach could take.

"I guess I didn't need to come after all" she pointed out and the realization also hit Freddie as he nodded.

"Can I leave now?" she asked, as Freddie chuckled.

"Sure" he smiled. Just as Carly was about to get up, an idea hit Freddie's brain at the speed of sound.

"Um...Carly?" he mumbled. Her confused face drew an angle at his eyes.

"Yeah?"

"Why do you think Sam likes me?" he questioned then quickly added, "I mean, she doesn't usually like 'nerds' or anything."

"You never really know what Sam's thinking, but I know that she cares about you...a lot. Sam need's a guy like you, Freddie. You both understand each other, and I can't believe I didn't see it before. You may not know it either, but you need someone like Sam. She's able to bring out the confidence inside you, and you're able to bring out the caring side of her. You fit perfectly." she explained with a smile on her face.

Freddie's eyes brightened, thinking about those points, and seeing the truth in them.

"I'm gonna go" she smiled and got up from the table. Her body moved away and soon, she had left.

Moments later, Sam returned.

"Where's Carly?" she asked, noticing the empty chair where Carly had once sat.

"She just left a moment ago. She said that we didn't really need her here" he explained. Sam nodded in agreement.

She looked down at her empty plate and sighed, "So what now?"

"I don't know" he echoed her sigh.

"What do you know, Benson?" she almost yelled.

The confusion in Freddie's eye began to set in deep as he stared, without any motion, into her eyes. What had just happened?

"What's wrong?" he asked, seeing pain reflected through her eyes.

"I heard your conversation with Carly" she stated, "You still don't know why I like you? You think someone like me couldn't ever have feelings towards you?" she asked.

Freddie's eyes widened, "Sam, no, I just-"

"You just what, Fredweird?" she interupted.

"I just don't understand why a beautiful, strong, girl like you could ever like a nerdy, weak, guy like me" he explained. Her face softened at the word 'beautiful' and a flash of pink appeared on her cheeks.

"Listen up, Fredbag, I'm only gonna say this once." she took a breath and continued," I like you because you're so different from any other guy I've ever met. You understand me like no one else, and you're always there for me when nobody else is"

Freddie's eyes grew wide as he listened to her speech. He knew right then and there, he truly was in love with Sam.

Freddie took Sam's hand from across the table, "That's all I need to know". They sat there like that, in silence, whilst looking into each other's eyes.

Snap

Gibby smiled as he looked at the picture. Perfect.

He had gotten all that he needed, and now it was time to go back to Mrs. Benson. Although, he wasn't that dumb. He stopped by the shop on the way home, bought earplugs, and prepared himself for what he was going to do.

Was he making the right choice?
