Well, hello! Thank you guys for all the posotive reviews! I'm glad you're loving this! :D And yes, I do realize you don't exactly see a plot line yet (I don't think you can see it in this chapter, either), but you will see it eventually. ;) But I'm just glad you all loved the first chapter!

4 Days until iCan't Take It! I'm so excited for this! :D Lots of emotions shall be shown. XD And guys, I liked iDS&F. Yeah, it was a bit weird or off, but I still loved it. :D And just remember iLove You!

DISCLAIMER: Today I bought a water bottle for two dollars. Is iCarly worth two dollars? ...Nope.

Holy Fudge!
Chapter 2: iHad a Date the Other Night

Brad's POV

I guess people could easily figure out that my whole family is really into fudge. And I mean really into it. For example, right now, my whole family, my grandma, and I are going to this huge fudge convention in Tacoma. It's supposed to be really prestigious.

Carly, Sam, and Freddie are helping Gibby take care of his puppy today, anyways. Sir Licks-A-Lot is so cute! There's a problem, though.

To everyone else he's all cute and licks their nose and it's just so adorable!

To me, though, he might as well be named Sir Bites-A-Lot. Does he lick my nose and act all adorable? No! He bites my fingers and barks whenever I get near him! What did I ever do to him? Nothing!

Rule 1: Don't throw away perfectly good fudge.

Rule 2: Don't be mean to cute little puppies.

See, it's one of my Rules of Brad! I have never been rude to a puppy, ever, so why would he hate me?

"Brad, honey, it's time to go," My mom tells me through my bedroom door.

"Kay, Mom, I'll be out in a bit!" I tell her and grab my backpack, which is empty of school books and replaced with clothes and stuff. I shut off the lights and run out of my room and into the car.

Well, this is going to be a loooong ride. I should ask Carly out on another date… Random, but the last one was awesome. Having a flashback about it will probably make this car ride of show tunes and off-key singing go by a lot faster.

Flashback

"Dude, I bet you look fine," Freddie tells me. We're in his apartment and I'm getting ready for my date with Carly tonight.

"You can't see me! What if she doesn't like it, though? What if it's… too formal or too informal or just not good enough for Carly?" I ramble on and on, looking in the mirror in Freddie's bathroom. I'm wearing black dress pants, a red button op shirt, and a black tie.

"I'm coming in!" Freddie says and walks in the bathroom.

"That was not cool, man," I glare at him.

He rolls his eyes. "You're dressed, so it doesn't matter. Plus, this is my bathroom," he tells me and I roll my eyes. "Anyways, this is fine! She won't care as long as you let her talk during the date and don't have a collection of Pee Wee babies."

"What do Pee Wee babies have to do with any of this?" I ask him with a raised eyebrow.

"That's another story for another time! Okay, you have to pick her up in about ten minutes. Tell me your game plan," Freddie says.

"My… game plan? What game plan?" I ask him, confused and worried.

"You know, where you're taking her and stuff."

"Oh, well, I wanted to take her to Pini's. She was rambling on and on about how good their lasagna was and if that makes her happy, then I'm taking her there."

"The lasagna is delicious," Freddie says and looks away, almost in a daze.

I roll my eyes and look back into the mirror. "I still don't think this is good enough."

"Dude, you're such a girl!" Freddie smirks.

"Yeah, like you didn't have this problem when you first went out with Sam," I do one of my infamous snort-laughs.

"Pssh, of course not!" His voice clearly says that he's lying.

"Uh-huh, sure…" I look at my watch. "Oh fudge, I gotta go!"

"We're right across the hall…"

"I don't care! It's better early than never!"

"You mean better late than never."

"Don't care! Bye!" I yell and jog out of his apartment and into the hall. I take a few deep breaths before knocking on the door. A few moments later, Spencer opens the door.

"Hey, Spencer!" I smile nervously.

"Hi, Brad!" he smiles his goofy smile.

"So, uh, is Carly ready yet?" I ask.

"Yeah, she'll be down in a bit," he says. "Listen… Brad… apparently you're going out with my little sister now… As a matter of fact, everyone's going out with someone now! Why can't I get a steady girlfriend?"

"What about Jenna?" I ask him hesitantly. Hey, I'm just glad he got off-track. I feel like he's going to give me that "talk." Yeah, I don't want that talk... ever.

"We're still dating…"

"Wait, then what about that icky girl from the hardware store?"

"That's Jenna…" he glares.

"Oh, sorry, man, I didn't know!"

"It's okay… it's true," he shrugs. "Anyways… you're going out with my sister now, so-"

"Spencer!" Carly exclaims as she comes down the stairs. "Don't even try to talk about this; you know you hate it."

"I do…" he hangs his head. "I have to give it to Freddie, though…"

"Why?"

"Sam's like a sister to me… so I guess I should talk to him. Plus, his father is... uh, elsewhere."

"Yeah, so we're gonna go now…" Carly says suspiciously and grabs my hand as we walk through the door and down to my car.

"Remind me to warn Freddie about Spencer talking to him," Carly tells me once we're in the car.

"Yeah, poor Freddie." We just talk about random things until I pull into the parking lot of Pini's.

"Pini's?" she asks happily.

"Yeah, you were saying how good their lasagna is, so why not?" I smile at her.

"Aw, thanks!" she smiles back and we go into the restaurant and to our reserved table. We talk about more random things, fudge, how good the lasagna is (it's fudging amazing, by the way), iCarly, and Sam and Freddie's relationship (it's not creepy because it's, you know, us).

"This is so much better than when I came here with Sam and Freddie," Carly tells me. "I was forced to sit at a table by myself and I was even hit on by this weirdo named Paul. I'm so glad I have someone who I can talk to now," she laughs.

I smile at her laugh. It's so cute. "Well, I'm glad that I'm entertaining to talk to!"

"You are! I'm pretty sure this is the best date I've been in like, forever," she laughs and then takes a bite of food.

"Well, that's good! I think this is my best date I've ever been on, too," I tell her. I haven't really been on many dates, so...

"Cool!" she smiles at me. So are you and Freddie still thinking of sending in the Mood Face app to the actual Pear company?"

"Yeah! I mean, it's going to take a lot of time and work, but I'm sure we can do it eventually."

"That's so cool! I hope you guys get it done, then!" she exclaims.

"Same here, that could get us a good word in the Pear Company and for our resumes, too. It would be great!"

"Wow, how do you even do that? You guys are like, geniuses for doing that at such a young age!" she complements and I blush a bit.

"I wouldn't call us geniuses, since we're pretty far from it, but more like tech-savvy," I tell her modestly. "But what about you and Gibby with that stimulus project? That was pretty good!"

"Well, I don't think we are… it was on that list they gave us for project ideas. It just seemed really cool," she shrugs.

"Well, it's still pretty smart that you got it done," I smile at her. She smiles graciously back at me. We talk, eat, and laugh until it's time for us to leave. We get in my car and we drive off to Bushwell. I walk her up to her door.

"Thanks again for tonight, Brad. I had a great time." She leans up and gives me a kiss on the cheek and I immediately feel a blush coming on my cheeks.

"Y-Yeah, tonight was awesome," I smile brightly at her. "See you tomorrow?"

"See you tomorrow," she confirms and gives me one last smile before going inside her apartment.

I sigh happily with a huge smile on my face as I go down to my car. Tonight... was... amazing.

End Flashback

Yeah, that was one awesome night. I'm smiling just thinking about it. It was definitely a great date!

Speaking of this flashback… I should probably warn Freddie about that talk Spencer wanted to have with him…
