Room 402, Monday morning before classes

[hurtingzeebo]

It was early, and Sam didn't have classes on Mondays, so she was, of course, fast asleep.

"Mmmm . . . you are so hot . . . I think I'm in love . . . you want to . . . okay, just pass the gravy. . . ."

Freddie, on the other hand, just managed to transform from 'happy sleeping frog on Sam's desk' to 'naked boy falling off edge of said desk and onto the floor'.

"...Pantalones!" he yelped, desperately reaching for anything to preserve his dignity.

[hurtingzeebo]

"Mneeeeeeh," said Sam, and she flung a pillow in the general direction of the thing what woke her up.

[randomspanish.livejournal.com]

Freddie clung to that pillow with all his might, and skittered back against a wall.

"I don't suppose you still have the clothes I was wearing?" he whimpered. Ever so manly, that Freddie Benson.

[hurtingzeebo]

Sam looked up. And possibly stared at him juuuuust a moment too long.

"I dunno, they might be in the corner or somethin'. Hey, you're not a frog any more."

[randomspanish.livejournal.com]

"I... kinda noticed," Freddie said, a little awkwardly. "Thanks for, ummm, taking care of me and everything."

He wanted to say something about how it was really nice of her to kiss him to try and fix it, but then another thought/sensation overrode everything.

"Oh sweet chiz, my mouth tastes like bugs," he said, pulling a severely disgusted expression.

[hurtingzeebo]

"You totally ate this really awesome spider," Sam told him cheerfully. "It was probably the coolest thing you will ever do."

[randomspanish.livejournal.com]

Freddie shuddered. "I don't want to do that again," he said, finally spotting his clothes and inching towards them on the floor.

"What happened with iCarly?"

[hurtingzeebo]

"You wouldn't wear the carrot costume, so I talked Kenzi into doing it. She tried to take you hostage while I was chasing her with the vegetable peeler."

[randomspanish.livejournal.com]

"...that actually sounds like it could've been one of our better bits," Freddie admitted, trying to smoothly maneuver into getting dressed in the corner without exposing himself at all.

It was a little tricky.

[hurtingzeebo]

That's alrigght, Sam was thoroughly amused by watching him try.

"Well, our numbers are down, but the commenters seemed to like it." That was because the population of their entire world was down, but it wasn't like Sam was one to notice. "They still don't get the 'running joke' of us turning into animals, though."

[randomspanish.livejournal.com]

"I don't think they ever will," Freddie said, finally having at least gotten his pants on, so he felt comfortable enough to stand up in the corner to get the rest of his clothes on.

"I can only imagine what Nevelocity has to say about it all."

[hurtingzeebo]

"Leeeet's find out." Sam pulled out her laptop and fired it up, quickly typing in the url for Nevelocity.

"Five-oh-five error website not found my Uncle Carmine's left foot!"

[randomspanish.livejournal.com]

"Wait, seriously?" Freddie said, his excitement to hurry over and look overriding his shyness about the fact that he was still totally shirtless. "No way, his website is actually down!"

[hurtingzeebo]

. . . There was suddenly a shirtless Freddie in close proximity.

Woah.

"Oh, hey, Carly wants to v-chat." Sam clicked on the little box that popped up over her browser window. "Heya Carls."

"Hi Sam! You're up! Hi Freddie! . . . Why aren't you wearing a shirt?"

[randomspanish.livejournal.com]

Freddie suddenly was super self-conscious again, and clutched at his chest and let out a little yelp. "I just changed back from a frog!" he said, before scampering off to the corner to retrieve his shirt.

[hurtingzeebo]

"It's true," said Sam. "He did."

"Why would that mean he's --" Carly cut off, her eyes going wide. "Wait, was he -- in your -- with the -- and --"

"Do you want to change the subject?" Sam asked.

"Yes, please."

[randomspanish.livejournal.com]

"Tell her about Nevelocity!" Freddie said, pulling his shirt on in the corner. It seemed like a good change-of-subject subject.

[hurtingzeebo]

"Good plan," said Sam.

"Nevilwhoity?" asked Carly.

"You know, the horrible gossip website run by the one and only tiny demon of nasty Nevel Papperman?"

"And again, I say 'who?'"

[randomspanish.livejournal.com]

"What?" Freddie said, hurrying back over now that he was fully clothed. He even leaned in over Sam's shoulder. "You're kidding, right? Evil Nevel, the guy who has repeatedly tried to blackmail you into kissing him? iCarly's number one archnemesis?"

[hurtingzeebo]

"Okay, you guys are just making this up, right?" asked Carly.

This was when Sam might have managed to connect Carly's confusion to the posters that had gone up over the weekend. Except that they were posters on the wall and Sam didn't bother to read them.

"Did Spencer accidentally hit you in the head with something?" she asked instead. "Nevel! 'You'll rue the day!' Come on!"

[randomspanish.livejournal.com]

"We had to Zaplook 'rue' and everything!" Freddie said. "I dangled from wires in his house! You smooshed tapenade in his face!"

[hurtingzeebo]

"Is this for a sketch idea?"

Sam blinked. "Oh my gosh, Freddie, she really doesn't know." She shrugged. "Well, no big loss."

[randomspanish.livejournal.com]

Freddie looked over at Sam, and then back to the screen at Carly.

"Uh. Kay," he said. "So... You and Spencer planning a big Thanksgiving?"

"Yeah, because I can trust Spencer with cooking a Turkey," Carly scoffed.

[hurtingzeebo]

"Hey, maybe it'll be the one time he doesn't set anything on fire."

[randomspanish.livejournal.com]

"Hey... what are we doing about Thanksgiving," Freddie said, looking over at Sam. "I mean, what with the whole portal system being a nub and all."

[hurtingzeebo]

"I was planning to eat turkey not cooked by my mom."

[randomspanish.livejournal.com]

"Which is different than most days how?" Freddie said, because it was a really valid point.

[hurtingzeebo]

"It'll be more seasonally appropriate?" Sam suggested.

Spencer had joined Carly in the video chat. "It's amazing," he said.

"I know," said Carly. "It's like we might as well not even be here any more."

[randomspanish.livejournal.com]

Freddie side-eyed the screen.

"Hey, she eats a lot of turkey, that's all I'm saying," he said, mildly defensively.

[hurtingzeebo]

Carly pointed. "But look at you two, being the two who are two!"

Sam rolled her eyes. "I have to talk to somebody when you're not around."

[randomspanish.livejournal.com]

"Two of what?" Freddie said, totally not getting it.

[hurtingzeebo]

"And people think I'm the dumb one," Sam said.

[randomspanish.livejournal.com]

Freddie just pouted.

"See what happens when I'm left alone with her?" he half-whined.

[hurtingzeebo]

"I'm a bad influence," Sam said proudly.

No, it didn't make a damn lick of sense.

[randomspanish.livejournal.com]

"I'm not the only one not following this, right?" Freddie said.

"I think he must still have the brain of a frog," Carly remarked.

"Does he still have the leeeeegs of a frog?" Spencer added, being Spencer.

"Shush," Carly said.

[hurtingzeebo]

"Nah, his legs are scrawny, but they're not froggy."

Because it was important that Carly and Spencer know that Sam knew that.

[randomspanish.livejournal.com]

"They are not," Freddie said. "I just have a smaller bone structure. It's genetic. So there."

Oh so mature, Benson.

[hurtingzeebo]

"Sure," said Sam. "A scrawny bone structure."

[randomspanish.livejournal.com]

"Your... face is scrawny," Freddie retorted.

[hurtingzeebo]

Sam smirked. "Awwww. Fweddie's trying to insult me!"

[randomspanish.livejournal.com]

"Well it's not like it's easy to do," Freddie said. "You make it so difficult!"

[hurtingzeebo]

"Because I'm so awesome," Sam said.

[randomspanish.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, well... maybe that's exactly it," Freddie said, just sort of throwing up his hands.

[hurtingzeebo]

Sam did a little happy dance.

"You know, if I didn't know better," Carly said, "I'd swear you two were dating."

[randomspanish.livejournal.com]

Freddie's only reaction was to stare at the computer screen like Carly had sprouted a second head.

[hurtingzeebo]

Sam had ceased her happy dance. "But you do know better," she said.

"Yes," Carly said quickly. "I know very better!"
