Summary

Sam's not really a fan of Edward Cullen. So she makes a list of guys who arebetter than him for Carly to read. She's a little embarrassed of her number one.What happens when she loses it, and Freddie reads it? *Seddie*

Prologue

Ok. First off, I'd like to say that I do not mean to offend any Twilight fanswho like Edward Cullen. So yeah...

Oh. And I don't own iCarly or Twilight.

Prologue

Carly was making Sam and Freddie watch the Twilight movies. Again. For the pastfew months, Carly would always choose the Twilight movies when it was her turn topick for movie night. Her two best friends were getting very, very tired of it. Freddiewanted to run away, and Sam wanted to punch the TV.

"Is she quoting the movie?" Freddie asked Sam.

"Yup."

Freddie groaned. "This movie is so boring." The finished watching Twilight, andwere currently in the middle of New Moon.

"Try reading the books." Sam had been forced to read the books when Carlystarted to read them. Carly had wanted someone to discuss them with since sheheard they were so good. Unfortunately for Carly, her friend did not enjoy them asmuch as she did. Carly absolutely adored Bella and Edward's love story, and wanteda guy just like Edward. Sam found the books dull, wanted to beat up Bella, andthought Edward was an ass.

Even thought Carly was into the movie, she made sure to listen to Sam andFreddie's conversation.

"Fredifer, get me some Wahoo punch," Sam commanded.

"What? Get it yourself, you bum."

Sam punched his arm. "You should be thanking me for giving you an excuse to getaway from this movie."

"Maybe I don't feel like tending to your every need."

- 5 -

"Oh. I see how it is," Sam said with an eye roll. "You just don't want to leave yourspot next to Carly. You're such a nub."

"Ugh. I'll get your stupid drink." As he walked to the kitchen, Sam tripped him.Freddie got up, shot her a dirty look, and continued to the kitchen.

While Sam stole Freddie's spot on the couch, Carly said, "You really should benicer to him."

Sam laughed. "Never happening."

Freddie came back with Sam's punch and a bottle of water for himself. He sawSam in his spot and said, "Really, Sam?"

"What? Are you gonna cry because I stole your spot next to your love?"

He sighed, handed Sam her drink, and sat down.

Carly smirked to herself. Although Sam and Freddie didn't realize it, the two weretotally flirting. She didn't notice their strange way of flirting until after about a yearof doing iCarly. Even though Sam bullied a lot of people, she was was always harderon Freddie, and Freddie always egged her on. As if he liked her torturing him. Samwould always make fun of him for liking Carly, and Freddie would sometimesjokingly say that Sam secretly had a thing for him. And somehow they managed tomention the other's butt a lot.

Carly realized they eventually developed feelings for each other after Freddie gotrid of Missy for Sam. And Sam started to be a little nicer to Freddie. Her realizationwas the reason Carly thought Sam would hit her after she kissed Freddie. But itdidn't seem to bother Sam. Then she found out Sam convinced Freddie that Carlywas only into him because he saved her life, so he ended up breaking up with Carly.Carly figured part of Sam did it to keep Freddie-a friend-from getting hurt, and theother part did it because she was jealous that Freddie-the guy she likes-was datingCarly.

Carly knew she could never tell them that she knew they wanted each other. Theywere both too stubborn to admit it to themselves, let alone her. So Carly decided towait for them to admit their feelings, which was very frustrating for Carly. Shefeared it would never happen.

"So what's so special about Edward Cullen?" Freddie asked after they finished themovie. He knew girls went ga-ga for the dude, but her could never understand why.

"You mean besides his deep, passionate love for Bella?" Carly said.

Freddie just nodded.

"Well. He cares so much about her safety. He'd rather die than hurt her. He lefther so she wouldn't get hurt, even though it killed him inside. And he was going tokill himself when he thought she was dead because he couldn't exist in a worldwithout her. Just to mention a few."

"Oh please," Sam said. "He acts like Bella can't do anything for herself, eventhough she got along fine before she met him. He doesn't even care about what shewants. She doesn't want him to leave, he leaves anyway-which completely ruins her.She wants to become a vampire, he refuses for the longest time. And there's the facthe wouldn't let her see her best friend. All because Alice can't see Bella's futurewhen she's around Jacob. So they freaking kidnap her. Who does that? A douche,that's who. There are a ton of guys better than Edward Cullen."

"Name one!"

"I'll do better than that! After first period on Monday, I'll give you a list of my topten fictional guys better than Edward Cullen, and explain why they're better."

"You do that. And I'll be sure to laugh at how lame they are."

Freddie found himself somewhat relieved that Sam didn't like Edward Cullen. Andhe kept thinking all night about how badly he wanted to see that list.

OK. I know that was probably really boring, but you know, I had to bringup a reason for the list to be made. I promise it'll get better. At least, I hopeit gets better to those of you who read it...

Oh well, if you like it so far feel free to review.

Brian Kinney

OK. I warn you that this chapter is probably crap. But once I get into thegroove of the story, it'll most likely get better.

Oh. And I don't own the TV show Queer as Folk.

Chapter One: Brian Kinney

It was Monday morning. Sam's first period was Study Hall, and instead of doingthe homework she avoided on the weekend as she usually did, she put the finaltouches on her list.

All weekend she had worked on the list. She kept adding guys, removing them,and re-adding some. She made some bullet points about how each guy was betterthan Edward Cullen. On Sunday, she went out and bought a notebook just for thelist. Each guy had a page dedicated to him. But Sam had one problem. She couldn'tfigure out her number one guy. Well, she knew who the guy she found WAY betterthan Edward was. But this guy wasn't a fictional character. And Sam had freakedout when she realized how strongly she felt for this guy, and she wasn't sure shewanted Carly to know about these feelings.

Sam sighed. She decided to just suck it up and make him her number one. Carlywas going to be the only person reading it anyway.

After she finished, the bell rang. She quickly shoved all her things into her bag.She didn't notice that the notebook containing her list had fallen onto the floor.

"You have the list?" Carly asked Sam as they reached their lockers.

"Yup." Sam ruffled through her bag. She wasn't seeing the notebook. She startedto panic. "Oh chiz."

"What?"

"I lost the list!"

"Sam, calm down," Carly said. She didn't understand why Sam was so upset.

- 8 -

"That list was for your eyes only!"

"So?"

Sam grabbed Carly's shoulder. "Carly I don't want anyone else but you to see mynumber one. It's not a person I want the entire school to know about."

"Who is it?"

Sam groaned and ran her hands through her hair. "You'll probably find out aboutit soon enough," she said and stormed off to second period.

Freddie walked into his second period. Study Hall. On the floor by his usual desk,he saw a notebook. He picked it up. The cover said: Sam Puckett's Top Ten List ofGuys Better Than Edward Cullen.

Freddie chuckled. Only Sam would put so much effort into something that lameand pointless.

Then Freddie realized something. He could torture Sam with this. He knew shehad to be going crazy over losing it. He was going to make her suffer.

He decided he would read two guys a day. Only in school. That way he could giveher the full list back by Friday. Then he'd make a copy of the guy and place it on herlocker. She would freak out knowing someone had it, and was rubbing it in her face.

He opened the book and began to read.

Number 10: Brian Kinney from Queer as Folk

Yes, Carly, I'm aware he's gay. But you know he's way sexier than Edward.

But let me get to the important reasons why he's better.

As you know, Brian is an uber slut. He used to only care about himself. Andgetting laid. Then he met Justin. The man who didn't believe in love, fell in love.

Remember when he finally told Justin he loves him? After someone bombed theclub, Babylon? Sweetest moment ever. Way sweeter than any Bella/Edward moment.Once he found out about the explosion, all he cared about was getting there to make

- 9 -

sure Justin was still alive. You know how big a deal that was. It took five seasons forBrian to finally admit it.

You see, Brian took his time to finally say he loves Justin. Unlike Edward who wentall love crazy after, like, two seconds of knowing Bella. Psycho killer much?

And Brian was never overly cheesy. The lion fell in love with the lamb? Ew. Whowants to be called a lamb? Sheep just blindly follow people. They don't think forthemselves. It seems sweet, but it's totally an insult. Brian would never insult Justinthat way. And he didn't try to keep Justin attached to his hip all the time. He alwaystried to convince Justin that he didn't NEED Brian to survive. He even convincedJustin to go off to New York to pursue his art career. Would Edward do somethinglike that? I think not. I mean, yeah he left Bella because he thought it was for herown good. But he had already made Bella dependent on him. Basically, she wasscrewed. Brian would never make it that way for Justin.

So there you go. Brian Kinney beats Edward Cullen. And he's most likely betterbetween the sheets than Edward. Just saying.

Freddie rolled his eyes. Sam WOULD be into a guy like that. Freddie couldn'tunderstand how she could be into such a jerk like couldn't she just go for a niceguy?

Freddie thought for a minute. He decided to write a reply to Sam's number tenguy.

Every time someone looked at Sam, she was afraid they knew her secret. Theparanoia was driving her mad.

She walked up to her locker. There was a note taped to it.

"Oh dear god," she said after she saw there was a response.

"What?" Carly asked as she and Freddie came up to Sam.

"Someone has the list! They made a copy of number ten for you." She shoved thecopy at Carly.

"Can I see?" Freddie asked. He figured asking that would help make him lookinnocent.

- 10 -

"NO!" Sam snapped. "Anyway, whoever has the list left a reply." She went on andread the note.

Hey Sam,

I'd just like to say that, being a guy, I'm glad you made this list. I'm sickand tired of hearing all these girls talk about how wonderful this Edwardguy is. It's refreshing to know a girl doesn't like him.

Anyway, after I read this, I Zaplooked Brian Kinney. He sounds like anasshole. I guess it was nice that he cared about that Justin dude, but he wasso cruel to everyone else. Even his best friend. All he seems to do is pisspeople off. Who'd want someone like that? Well... I guess you do.

BUt I did like the points you made against Edward. I heard that lion andlamb quote before, and found it stupid. So thanks for pointing out thestupidity.

Oh. And that whole Babylon exploding thing? Yeah. Queer as Folk totallyjumped the shark with that.

Sincerely,

Anti-Edward

P.S. You won't be getting this list back until after I finish reading all ofthis.

"How dare he say QAF jumped the shark!" Sam yelled. "And I can't believe hewon't give my list back!"

"How dare YOU trash such a sweet quote!" Carly yelled at Sam. "And how dare heagree with you!"

Freddie rolled his eyes. "I think you're both insane." But he was smiling on theinside. He liked that he managed to anger Sam. And he couldn't wait to anger hereven more.

So... Was that OK? Sorry if it sucked.

- 11 -

Eric Northman

Chapter Two: Eric Northman

Sam slammed her locker shut. The more she thought about Mr. Anti-Edward, theangrier she got. How dare he mess with her? No one messes with Sam Puckett.Once she finds out who he is, she's gonna beat the chiz out of him.

"Sam, it's gonna be OK," Carly said as they walked to class.

"No it's not! What if Anti-Edward tells everyone who my number one is?"

"It's not a big deal, Sam."

"Yes it is! Anti-Edward is gonna die!"

Freddie took a seat in his computer science class. Since he knew more than theteacher, he was allowed to do whatever he wanted during class. It was the perfecttime to read Sam's next guy.

Number 9: Eric Northman from True Blood

Oh look, Carly, it's a REAL vampire. That's probably the main reason I put him onthis list.

You see, unlike Edward, Eric actually has fangs. And he doesn't sparkle. A truevampire doesn't sparkle. Vampires BURN AND DIE in the sun. Not sparkle.

Also, like a real vampire, Eric oozes sex appeal. You see him and you just want tojump into his Scandinavian pants.

Eric doesn't pretend he's a manipulative ass. He knows it, and is proud. Edwardacts like Mr. Nice Guy, but he's totally emotionally abusive.

Something better about Eric-and all True Blood vampires-is they can bite youwhile getting it on. You can experience the joys of being bitten without beingpoisoned. You know there's something hot about being bitten and having a vampdrink your blood during sex, Carly.

- 12 -

OK. Maybe I should stop talking about vampire sex.

Alright. So Eric is actually a powerful vampire. Not some pansy like Edward. He'sthe sheriff of Area 9 (A/N I think it's area 9. Either that or area 5...). He's theboss of that whole district, or whatever. And his people listen to and respect him.Does Edward do anything like that? Nope. No one listens to Edward, or fears himthe way a leader should be listened to and feared. You know why? Because hefreaking SPARKLES. No one takes a sparkly "vampire" seriously, Carls.

Eric also owns an awesome club. You know, Fangtasia. Where he sits on a thrownlike the smexy Viking king he is.

Eric can also fly. Yeah, Edward can run fast, but he can't fly, can he? And Eric canmove all fast too. Except when he does, it looks like he's floating on air. Eric canfloat on air AND fly. Beat that Edward.

Finally, Eric could fully kick Edward's ass in a fight. I mean, Eric got turned into avampire while he was dying from a battle wound. Edward was dying from SpanishInfluenza when he got turned. Now, which seems more badass?

Well, that's it for Eric, I guess.

Freddie couldn't understand why another jerk made Sam's list. And so far, one ofthe reasons the past two guys were better then Edward was because of sex. ThenFreddie started to wonder if Sam had had sex before. The idea made him sick. If hefound out she did, he decided he would beat the crap out of the guy.

Freddie shook the thoughts out of his head, took a deep breath, and wrote hisresponse.

Sam was ready for her favorite period of the day. Lunch. She planned on pushingAnti-Edward out of her mind, and concentrate on her food.

Those dreams were ruined when she saw the note on her locker.

She groaned, took the note, and stomped off to meet Carly and Freddie at lunch.

She sat down with her friends. "Here's guy number nine," she mumbled andhanded the copy to Carly.

- 13 -

Carly looked at her friend. "Eric?"

Sam glared at her. She knew Carly found Eric hot too, and would've reminded herif she wasn't so pissed at Anti-Edward. "Just read it."

When Carly finished, she said, "What did Anti-Edwrd say?"

Sam read it aloud to Freddie and Carly.

Hello again, Sam.

I guess this Eric person sounds better than Edward. The flying thing ispretty cool. I'd LOVE to be able to fly.

Thank you so much for making fun of the sparkling. I would punch asparkling man. And that says a lot since I'm not a violent person. Well, I didslap someone once, but she slapped me first.

Anyway, I was wondering why you seem so obsessed with sex. It seemed tobe very important to you with these past two guys. Is it important to youbecause you've already done it? Just wondering.

Bye,

Anti-Edward

"I'm going to kill him," Sam hissed. "Once I find him, he won't have a head."

"I can't believe he questioned your virginity," Carly said.

Freddie was relieved to know that Sam hadn't had sex. But he got a little afraidfor his life. But Sam didn't know it was him, so he felt a little more safe.

"This Anti-Edward douche needs to learn that girls think about sex too. He reallyneeded some sense knocked into him. He seemed like an idiot.

"Girls think about sex?" Freddie asked.

"Duh."

"This conversation has gotten real awkward, real fast," Carly commented.

- 14 -

"Girls can't possibly think about sex as much as guys," Freddie said. He neverthought girls could be like that.

"Girls are pervs too, Fredicini. We're just better at hiding it," Sam told him.

"I've never heard you and Carly talk about it."

Carly found this whole conversation ridiculous. "That's because you're a guy!"Carly yelled. "It's weird. Just like this conversation." Her two friends just ignoredher.

Sam was curious about something, so she asked, "Have you done the nasty,Freddie?" If he had, Sam decided she would murder the girl.

"Nope."

Sam let out an inward sigh of relief.

"OK, let's stop talking about this!" Carly squealed. "This is not an appropriatelunch time topic!"

Sam and Freddie looked at each other then cracked up at their friend's prudeness.

Sorry that this chapter turned into a conversation about sex... It just kindahappened.

Anywho, I hope you liked it.

- 15 -

Zuko

Ok. I forgot to say in the last chapter that I don't own True Blood. So... Idon't own True Blood. And I don't own Avatar: The Last Airbender either.

Chapter Three: Zuko

Sam didn't get any other notes from Anti-Edward on Monday. When she walkedinto school on Tuesday, she tried her best to listen to people's conversations. So farno one had mentioned her or the list.

"When is Anti-Edward going to to give my list back?" Sam asked in frustration.

"When he's done reading it?" Carly said.

"Why is it so important you get it back?" Freddie asked. He had promised himselfhe wouldn't peak ahead in the list, no matter how much he wanted to. It was worthit to watch Sam's frustration.

"Because of my number one," Sam said.

"You keep mentioning your number one. Who is it?" Carly asked. She reallywanted to know who it was, and why people knowing would embarrass Sam.

"You'll find out when Anti-Edward gives me the copy," Sam told her.

Which, Freddie knew, wouldn't be until after his Computer Science class onFriday. And Carly would finally find out who Sam's number one was that day. And sowould he.

"I would like to know who it is as well," Freddie put in.

Sam's heart leapt a bit. She especially didn't want Freddie knowing her numberone.

"You'll never know, Frednub."

The bell rang for first period. Sam walked off without saying good-bye.

"She's gonna murder someone if Anti-Edward doesn't give her list back soon,"- 16 -

Carly said.

Freddie sighed. "I don't know what the big deal is. You, Sam, and Anti-Edward arethe only ones who see the list."

"She's afraid he'll share her number one with everyone."

"Is it that embarrassing?"

Carly shrugged. "I guess so. I gotta go to class."

Freddie couldn't wait until Friday to find out who Mr. Number One was.

Freddie was smiling as he took his seat in Study Hall. It was time to see the nextguy.

Number 8: Zuko from Avatar: The Last Airbender

Oh Prince Zuko, you were such a jerk in Book One. And so not hot until youstarted to grow hair in Book Two.

I know you're into Zuko too, Carly, don't lie.

Hmm... Let's see. What arguments can I bring up about him being better thanEdward Cullen? Oh. I know.

In Twilight, vampires can only be killed by being chopped to pieces and burned,right? Well, Zuko could kill Edward easily. His awesome swordsman skills take carethe chopping Edward up. Plus, Zuko's a firebender. A nice little blast of fire, thereyou go. Edward's body bits are burning.

I would just like to point out how awesome Zuko is overall. For all of Book One, hewas the bad dude. Slowly, we learn he's a much more confused and complex youngman. We get to see him turn into a good guy.

He eventually teams up with the Avatar, Aang (as you know), so that he can beatZuko's dad. Zuko also manages to take down his psychopath of a sister.

Zuko strayed off the path of bad and moved onto the path of good. He helpedAang in his mission to bring balance back into the world. Has Edward ever helped

- 17 -

bring balance back into the world? Nope. He just spent his time stalking Bella.

Freddie definitely thought Zuko was better than the other two guys on Sam's list.He was a fan of Avatar, and Zuko was one of his favorite characters.

He went and wrote his reply.

Sam was walking as slowly as she could to her locker. She didn't want to findanother note. But, alas, she did.

Freddie and Carly were staring at her locker.

"Open the note," Carly commanded.

Sam rolled her eyes. She handed Carly the copy of guy number eight, and let herread it.

Carly gasped. "You explained how Zuko would kill Edward?" Carly was highlyoffended.

Freddie laughed at Carly's reaction, and the image that had been floating aroundin his head of Zuko killing Edward.

"I was just pointing out that Zuko has the tools to kill Edward if he wanted to,"Sam said. "I wasn't saying that I want Zuko to kill him."

Freddie smirked at her. "But you really do want him to."

Maybe," Sam said with a smile.

Carly glared at them, but found their little moment sweet. Even if the moment wasover the murdering of a vampire that she loved. "Just read what Anti-Edward said."

Sam,

I'm a huge fan of Avatar. It's such a good show, and I can't wait for the liveaction movie.

I would like to say that Zuko is one of my favorite characters from theshow. I must admit, though, the Toph is my number one favorite. She kind of

- 18 -

reminds me of a girl I know. She's sarcastic, doesn't take shit from anyone,and kicks ass. It's a shame she and Sokka never got together.

Anyway, when you described how Zuko could kill Edward, I wanted tolaugh. But I had to keep myself from cracking up so I couldn't drawattention to myself in class. I find it very probable that Zuko could takeEdward down. I'd actually put money on that.

I approve of this guy on your list. Much more then the last two. Good job.

Anti-Edward

"OK. So maybe Anti-Edward isn't that bad," Sam admitted.

"How so?" Carly asked.

"Dude, Fredpuss and I could totally hang out with this guy. I mean, he can't wit tosee the live action movie, and knows that Toph and Sokka belongs together."

"Yeah. Screw Suki," Freddie said. Carly wasn't as into Avatar as he and Sam. Shejust kind of tolerated it when they watched it.

Sam smiled at what Freddie said, and gave him a high five. He was happy that hewas able to win Sam over as Anti-Edward. It might've been better than pissing heroff.

So. As you can tell, I REALLY like Avatar: The Last Airbender. That's why Imade Sam and Freddie like it.

I hope you enjoyed. :D

- 19 -

Dean Winchester

I don't own Supernatural. In case you were wondering.

Chapter Four: Dean Winchester

Sam was kind of looking forward to the next note from Anti-Edward. The last notemade he seem like a pretty cool dude. And yeah, he had assumed she had gotten iton before, but she decided to forgive him. He was a guy after all. Guys are stupid.Example: Freddie thought girls didn't think about sex.

"When do you think he'll send another reply?" she asked Carly.

"Well, the first one you got today was the same time as the first from yesterday."

"So between this period and lunch I'll get it."

"I guess. Why are you so excited now? Just this morning, you were crazyparanoid."

"Well, I have no decided that he's cool."

Carly shook her head. Only Sam could change her mind so quickly about a personjust because they agree with her on some things. She decided against remindingSam of her anxieties about the mysterious guy number one. She didn't want to dealwith a paranoid Sam again.

After her helped a fellow student-Gibby-with an assignment in their computerscience class, Freddie moved on to Sam's next guy.

Number 7: Dean Winchester from Supernatural

You think Edward drives a sexy car? That stupid silver Volvo? That's SUCH a girlycar compared to Dean's black '67 Impala. Plus, hidden in the trunk of his car aresome kick ass Supernatural fighting weapons. Does Edward fight the Supernatural?Nope. He barely fights the bad dudes in the series.

Also, Dean is destined to try to stop the world from coming to an end. He'ssupposed to be Archangel Michael's vessel for the epic battle between Michael and

- 20 -

Lucifer. Last time I checked, Edward never played an important role in saving theworld. Dean even has an angel friend helping him out, Castiel-who's also pretty hothimself.

And yes, Carly, I realize the plot of the show is much more complicated than I'mdescribing. But since you know what's going on, I refuse to summarize the wholeshow.

Oh. Guess what? Like Zuko, Dean could easily kill Edward. I mean, he was trainedto kill Supernatural beings since he was a kid. He's got that chiz down. Bye-byeEdward.

Tee-hee.

Freddie smirked. Sam's little tee-hee at the end was very cute. Suddenly, he gotreally confused. Did he just think something Sam did was cute? That wasn't a usualthought for Freddie.

He pushed the idea of Sam being cute out of his head, and wrote his reply.

Freddie waited for Sam and Carly by their lockers. He pretended to be looking atthe note taped to Sam's locker with curiosity. Freddie refused to put the notes onSam's locker between classes. Too many witnesses. He would ask to use thebathroom during class, and do it then.

The two girls walked up to him.

"Ooh. Anti-Edward strikes," Sam said. She ripped the note off her locker and ranto lunch.

"She's happy about Anti-Edward now?" Freddie asked.

Carly sighed. "Ever since she found our he likes Avatar, he's like her new bestfriend. She wouldn't shut up about him in History."

Freddie smiled. It made him happy that Sam was so excited about his notes. Thenhe wondered why he was so happy about her being excited. His main goal was toannoy her, not put her in a good mood. What had happened to make him switch itup?

- 21 -

"Freddie!" Carly yelled. She had been trying to get his attention, but he was lost inthought. She was hoping that he was jealous of this Anti-Edward, and finally startingto realize how he felt about Sam.

He snapped out of his thoughts. "Sorry," he mumbled. "Um. Let's go to lunch."

"Took you guys long enough," Sam said when they finally joined her. "Here yougo, Carls." She handed Carly guy number seven.

Carly scoffed when she looked at it. "DEAN? Sam totally beats Dean."

Sam snorted. "Sam's hot and all, but he can be a little bitch sometimes. And he's adrug addict."

"He's no longer drinking demon blood!"

"Just because he doesn't do it anymore, doesn't mean he's magically no longer anaddict. Plus, he's Lucifer's vessel."

"He doesn't want to be Lucifer's vessel! He won't let Lucifer possess him!"

"It's his destiny!"

"Screw destiny!"

"Guys!" Freddie yelled. While the conversation was fun to listen to, he knew itcould go on forever if he didn't stop it. "Carly, just read the rest of whatever Samwrites on this list." Sam and Carly still refused to let Freddie read the list. Hepretended to be annoyed.

"Aw. Are you jealous Carly's talking about a guy who's not you?" Sam askedbitterly. More bitterly than she planned.

"No! I just don't want you two to get into a huge argument over fictionalbrothers."

"Dean beats Sam," Sam said.

"Sam beats Dean!" Carly yelled.

"LIES!"

- 22 -

Freddie threw a pack of Fat Cakes at Sam. He knew they would make her shut up."Carly, finish reading."

Carly did so while Sam scarfed down the Fat Cakes.

"More talk about killing Edward?" Carly asked with a sigh.

Sam just gave her friend an evil smile.

"Just tell me what Anti-Edward said," Carly whispered angrily.

Sam,

A '67 Impala is absolutely better than some stupid Volvo. Being a guy, Ifeel like I could get more girls driving an Impala. Especially Dean's. It justmakes a guy look so badass.

I love how this is the second time you talked about how someone could killEdward. It made me happy.

And I found the little tee-hee at the end cute. Just saying.

Well, that's all I got for now. Sorry for the short response.

Anti-Edward

"Are you blushing?" Carly asked Sam.

"Well. He kinda called me cute," she said.

"I never thought I'd see the day a guy would make Sam Puckett blush," Freddiesaid. For some reason, he felt really happy that he was the guy who made it happen.

"Shut up, Fredweenie!" Sam yelled then punched him.

The bell rang. Telling them lunch was over.

"Well, see ya," Freddie said as he got up.

"Yeah. Bye," Sam said. But before leaving, she yelled, "DEAN BEATS SAM!" thenran away.

- 23 -

"Ugh!" Carly said. "Why does she get to have the last word?"

Freddie laughed as Carly stomped away.

Was that good? I hope so.

So. I'd just like to say that I don't really share Sam's views about Sam fromSupernatural. I personally love Sam, Dean, AND Castiel for differentreasons. But whatever. I just believe Sam would feel that way, and she's likeDean better. In case you were wondering. Or even care. :D

- 24 -

LI don't own Deathnote. If I did, L would have lived.

Chapter Five: L

It was Wednesday. Sam was again in her first period Study Hall. She wasRe-reading the notes from Anti-Edward. She really wanted to know who he was. Shewould totally be friends with him.

And for some reason he called her cute. She couldn't stop thinking about that. Didhe know her personally? And if he did, did the cute comment mean he liked her?

She decided she needed to discuss it all with Carly.

The bell rang, and she dashed off to speak to her best friend.

"Do you think Anti-Edward has a thing for me?" Sam asked Carly as soon as shewalked up to her.

"Um. I don't know. Why?" Carly thought that Anti-Edward best not be into Sam.He could ruin Sam and Freddie's chance at being together.

"Well, I've been reading his notes again. He seemed to really dislike Brian andEric, and he called me cute."

"Are you talking about Anti-Edwrd again?" Freddie asked as he joined them.

"Sam's wondering if he's into her," Carly told him.

"Oh. Huh." Was that true? Was Freddie into Sam? He couldn't be. He and Samwere just friends. There's nothing wrong with calling a friend of the opposite sexcute. Right? It didn't have to have a deeper meaning.

"Well, what do you think?" Sam asked Freddie.

"Um. He could. You never know."

Sam rolled her eyes. "Wow. Thanks for all the help, Fredly."- 25 -

Carly couldn't help but notice Freddie looked a little sick. Was he jealous ofAnti-Edward? She sure hoped so.

Freddie sat in Study Hall staring at the notebook containing the list. He couldn'tstop thinking about the conversation that had happened mere minutes ago. Did helike Sam? Is there any possible way he could like Sam?

He decided to not think about it while he read the next guy.

Number 6: L from Deathnote

I know you haven't read the manga or watched the anime, Carly, but you totallyshould.

L's just SO adorable. His social awkwardness makes me giggle. And I just lovehow he sits, and never wears shoes.

Like me, he has a food obsession, but instead of meats, it's sugary foods. Hestirred his tea with a lollipop once. He also puts, like, five thousand pounds of sugarin his tea.

I'm sure you're wondering how he's better than Edward, because I know none ofthe facts above are good enough for you. You see, L's a freaking genius. I know whatyou're thinking. Edward's really smart. Well, duh he's smart. He's been around sincethe 1900's and has graduated from high school dozens of times. Of course he knowschiz. But L was born a genius, OK? He's solved a crap load of crimes. It's a shame hedidn't live to see Light get taken down. But at least he knew he was right in hisbelief that Light was Kira. Rest in peace, my dear L.

Not that you have any idea what I'm talking about, Carly.

Freddie smiled. He remembered when Sam forced him to read the manga. Hetried to refuse, but she threatened him. In the end, he was glad she made him readit. It turned out he loved it. But he never knew Sam thought L was adorable.Suddenly, he became a little jealous of L. Then he freaked out for being jealous. WasSam right? Did he have a thing for her?

He took a deep breath and wrote his reply.

- 26 -

"Why hello, Anti-Edward," Sam said when she saw the note.

"Let me see who number six is," Carly demanded. Sam handed her the copy. "L?"

"You put L on the list?" Freddie asked, pretending to be surprised.

Sam smiled at him. For a second he thought he felt his heart flutter. "You knowhow awesome L is," she said.

"Very true."

"If he's so awesome, why'd he die?" Carly asked when she finished reading.

"You wouldn't understand," Freddie told her.

Sam nodded. "Yeah. You'd have to be a Deathnote fan to fully understand."

"Tell us what your new boyfriend said," Carly said with a glance at Freddie,hoping she would get a reaction out of him. She saw him blush. Why a blush? shewondered.

"He's not my boyfriend," Sam said. "Now shut up and listen."

Sam,

I feel I have to tell you that I wish I was L. It would be so awesome to bethe greatest crime solver in the world. So yeah, that makes him better thanEdward.

You know, I wouldn't have known who L was if one of my friends didn'tforce me to read the manga. I'm grateful to her for that.

Oh. And Light was a total douche. I'm so glad Ryuk killed him in the end.

Bye for now,

Anti-Edward (AKA the Guy Jealous of L)

"Who's Ryuk?" Carly asked.

"A shinigami," both her friends answered.

- 27 -

"OK then..."

Sam turned to Freddie. "Fredward, we SO need to meet this guy."

Freddie nodded. "Yeah. He's into a lot of the same stuff as us."

Carly couldn't help but think that was a strange coincidence. But there was noway Freddie could be Anti-Edward.

The bell rang.

"Come on Sam," Freddie said, "let's go to English."

When they sat down next to each other in their class a few minutes later, Freddiesaw Sam pull out a folder he had never seen before. He glanced at the cover. Notesfrom Anti-Edward it said.

Freddie smirked. "What's that?" he asked, pointing at the folder.

"N-nothing."

Freddie grabbed it from her. "You bought a special folder to keep the notes in?"

"Give. It. Back."

"I can't believe you're saving these."

Sam hit him upside the head with a textbook.

"Sam! OW!"

She snatched the folder back.

"Sam! Freddie!" Ms. Briggs yelled. "Both of you. Detention. After school."

"Thanks a lot, Fredjerk," Sam mumbled.

Freddie was kinda mad he had gotten detention, yet he kind of felt like he wasfloating on a cloud. Sam was saving his notes. At that moment, that was the mostimportant thing to him.

Hmmm. I wonder if any revelations will happen in the next chapter?- 28 -

Maybe, maybe not. And who will number 5 be? Very important questions.

- 29 -

Dr Jack Hodgins

Yo peeps. Sorry it's taken so long for me to get this chapter up. School hasbeen sucking up my life. Oh. If this chapter seems a little off or whatever,it's because there was a semi-long period of time between writing thischapter and the last. Sometimes I get out of the groove when that happens.So I apologize in advance.

Also, I don't own the TV show Bones.

Chapter Six: Dr. Jack Hodgins

"What's with the goofy smile?" Sam asked Freddie as they left class. He had thatsmile on his face all during class.

"Um..." He didn't know what to tell her. He couldn't tell her that the fact she wassaving his notes made him stupid happy. "Nothing."

She smiled at him. "You must be happy about spending your afternoon indetention with Mama."

He rolled his eyes, but felt himself blush slightly. It was kind of true. Then therealization hit him. It was so sudden, he felt like he might fall over. He liked Sam.

"Are you OK?" Sam asked. He had turned somewhat pale.

"Um. Yeah. I'm fine."

"Hey, guys," Carly said to them when they reached the lockers.

Sam grabbed some books and waited for Carly so they could go to class.

"Carly? Can I talk to you?" Freddie asked before his friend could leave. He neededto talk to someone about what he just realized. He looked over at Sam and added,"Alone."

Sam rolled her eyes. "Whatever. See you in class, Carls." As she walked off, shecouldn't help but wonder what was so important that she couldn't be there.

"What's up?" Carly asked when Sam disappeared down the hall.- 30 -

"I've been thinking about some things," Freddie said as he rubbed the back of hisneck. He wasn't sure how to tell Carly.

"Like what?"

"Like my feelings about a person."

Carly perked up. "What person?"

"Um... uh... well... Sam."

Carly squealed happily. Freddie was not expecting that reaction. "You like Sam!"she said.

"Possibly."

Carly snorted. "Possibly my ass."

"Excuse me?" Carly rarely swore.

"Just say it, Freddie."

"Say what?"

"Say it!"

"OK! I like Sam. And I think I like her a lot."

"Yay!" Carly jumped up and down. She was so happy Freddie finally admitted hisfeelings. Now, Sam just had to do the same. Then all would be right in the world.

"You seem really happy," Freddie said.

"Well duh. You guys obviously like each other. You're both just too difficult toadmit it. Until now that is. I hope Sam admits it soon."

"Huh? Wait. You think Sam feels the same?"

"I know she does. Anyway, when'd you finally admit it to yourself?"

Freddie found it hard to believe that Sam could possibly feel the same. "I guesswhen this whole list thing began," he answered.

- 31 -

"Really?"

"Yeah. I think I'm jealous of all these fictional guys. Just because Sam likes them."

"You jealous of Anti-Edward too?"

"Uh. Sure." The bell rang. "We're late. See ya."

While she watched him walk away, she couldn't stop herself from thinking, isFreddie Anti-Edward?

Freddie sat down in Computer Science. Telling Carly that he liked Sam lifted someweight off his shoulders. But the weight wouldn't be completely gone until he toldSam his feelings, and revealed he was Anti-Edward. He couldn't do that until hefinished the list, though.

Number 5: Dr. Jack Hodgins from Bones

I know, Carly, you don't really like Bones, which I don't get at all. It's such a greatshow. And it totally sucks you in.

Now. Here's why he's better than Edward. You see, all us fans know how much inlove Hodgins is with Angela. Even though they're not together anymore, yet he stillhas those feelings. But he and Angela won't get back together. Yet. He clearlyrespects Angela's wishes for them to not get back together. As I believe I havestated before, Edward doesn't give a chiz about Bella's wishes.

When Angela thought she was preggers with Wendell's baby, Hodgins was readyto be there for her and help take care of the baby. Now, I feel if Bella got pregnantwith someone else's baby-shut up, Carly, I know it would never happen, this is just a"what if" type thing-he would kill her. And the dude too.

Here's another reason I heart Hodgins. He's the bug and slime man of the team.He LOVES it when he can go out and do field work, and roll around in dirt and stuff.Plus, he's always involved in the fun little experiments that are sometimes done.Hodgins will always be King of the Lab to me.

If you watched Bones, I feel you'd love Hodgins. Or Booth like Freddie's momdoes. Oh great. Now you wanna know how I know that. Um. You know how I leaveyour place on most Thursdays but come back right in time for Supernatural? Well,

- 32 -

that's because I watch new episodes of Bones over at the Benson home. You see, oneday while you were out, I was watching some Bones reruns when Frednub cameover. He freaked out because I was watching it. He told me how much he loves it,and that he and his mom always watch it. So, since I hate watching my favoriteshows alone, I showed up at Freddie's place one night for a new episode of Bones.His mom freaked out at first, but shut up when the show started and realized Iwouldn't be annoying. We even had fun discussing who the killer could be, and thesexual tension between Brennan and Booth. When the show ended, she invited meback for the next week's episode because I "wasn't a complete devilish maniac." Sonow we've been doing that for about a year.

OK. That's it.

Freddie remembered that night. He was really worried when Sam walked in, butrelaxed when she and his mom started talking about the show. Now his mom madesure they had enough ham every Thursday night. As soon as Sam would leavethough, life would go back to normal. Sam and his mom would go back to hatingeach other again. Thursday nights were good nights for Freddie.

Sam grabbed the note from Anti-Edward off her locker and walked straight to thecafeteria. She didn't bother to wait for her friends.

"Wait," Carly said to Freddie when he began to follow.

"What?"

"You gotta sit next to Sam today."

"Huh?" Why was Carly trying to screw up their seating arrangement? Carly andSam always sat on one side, and Freddie across from them. On the other half oftheir lunch table, sat Gibby, Wendy, and some of their other friends. Carly wastrying to throw off their whole system.

"So you can start laying some ground work."

"For what?"

Carly sighed. Freddie was so oblivious. "For you and Sam's future relationship.You sitting next to her, will help her realize you like her."

- 33 -

Freddie shook his head. "You're crazy." He walked off to the cafeteria.

Somehow, Carly beat him there. She immediately sat across from Sam. Freddiehad no choice but to sit next to Sam. If he sat next to Carly, Sam would think he stillloved Carly.

"What the chiz is going on?" Sam asked.

"Carly forced me to sit next to you," Freddie told her.

"Why?"

"No clue," he lied.

"It all feels very unnatural."

"Just give me number five," Carly said flatly. Sam gave it to her, and she quietlyread it to herself. After she finished, she looked at her two friends and gasped. "Youguys have a Thursday night tradition?"

"You told her?" Freddie asked Sam. He felt that his acting was getting muchbetter.

"Oh get over it, Fredmint."

"I can't believe it," Carly said. She didn't understand why they never told her. Still,she was happy they spent time together.

"What? We're not allowed to hang out without you around?" Sam asked. She felt itwas stupid if Carly was upset about it.

"Well. No. You are allowed to. I just don't understand why you didn't tell me."

"Because you'd blow it out of proportion."

"No I wouldn't!"

Freddie and Sam shared a look. Freddie spoke, "You would, Carly. You tend to dothat."

Carly let out a small growl. "what did Anti-Edward say?"

- 34 -

Sam laughed, then read.

Sam,

I love Bones! But I've kind of always liked Booth better. Maybe because Iwish I was him a little. OK. Not a little. A lot. He kicks some serious ass. Didhe make the list? I haven't finished reading it yet. If not, he should've.Actually, all the guys from Bones are better than Edward.

Plus, all of them are nerds-excluding Booth of course. So I can relate tothem, being a nerd myself. And we all know how awesome nerds are.

Oh. By the way, I could totally be King of the Lab.

Anti-Edward

Sam was cracking up. "He sounds like you, Frednub. You guys could be biffles."

"Oh haha," Freddie said.

Carly realized Sam was right. Anti-Edward was starting to sound more and morelike Freddie. She decided she needed to question Freddie about it. If he turned outto be Anti-Edward and Sam found out, he'd be a dead man.

Well, I hope that wasn't really bad. Hopefully, the next one will be better.

- 35 -

Riley Poole

I don't own the National Treasure movies.

Chapter Seven: Riley Poole

On Thursday morning while she walked into school, Carly decided to doeverything in her power to find out if Freddie was Anti-Edward. She had beenthinking about it all night. She compared everything she knew about Anti-Edwardand Freddie. They seemed to have a lot in common. She saw Sam at her locker.

"Can I take a quick look at the notes from Anti-Edward?" she asked Sam.

Sam blushed. "It's not like I have them with me."

"Yes you do. Freddie told me you carry them around in some folder."

Sam growled. "I'm gonna kill that nub when I see him." She handed Carly thefolder. Just then, Freddie joined them.

Freddie saw the look of anger in Sam's eyes. Fear rose up from his gut. He hopedshe hadn't found out he was Anti-Edward.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" he asked Sam.

"You told Carly I've been saving my notes from Anti-Edward."

Freddie hadn't realized it was some deep, dark secret. Well, at that moment hedid. So he turned and ran.

Sam darted after him.

Carly laughed at them as she opened the folder. Soon she found some of evidenceshe needed. Anti-Edward talked about slapping a girl after she slapped him. carlyremembered that moment between Sam and Freddie. She had found it amazing thatSam didn't punch him after he slapped her.

Also, Anti-Edward had said his friend forced him to read Deathnote. Carlyremembered when Sam threatened to break Freddie's wrist if he didn't read it.

- 36 -

That was enough proof for her. Freddie HAD to be Anti-Edward. She wouldconfront Freddie about it soon.

Freddie was lucky he only got away with some bruises. He didn't even want toimagine what she'd do if she discovered he was Anti-Edward. He decided not todwell on it, and read the next guy on the list.

Number 4: Riley Poole from National Treasure

You know he's a cutie Carly. Especially when his glasses are on. And, yeah, he's anerd, but he's actually a pretty badass nerd. His semi-badassness is what makes himbetter than Edward. He assisted in stealing the Declaration of Independence andfound a friggin treasure. Hell, most of it wouldn't have been able to happen withoutRiley's techno-geek skills.

I'm pretty sure Edward never stole anything that would help him find a treasurethat held all this history and then shared it with the world. Though Riley didn't wantto, but still.

Also, Riley's funny. He was, like, the best part of the movies because of his funny.Edward had never done one funny thing in his annoying existence. Edward's alwaysMr. Serious. I mean, does the dude EVER have any fun? The only other thing he isbesides serious is emo. And not the cool emo. The douchey "I think I'm better thanyou" emo. You know, the kind of emo kid you wanna punch, not the kind you wannabe friends with.

So screw Edward and his seriously douchey emoness. Go Riley and hissemi-badass nerdiness!

Freddie found himself getting angry. She always made fun of HIS nerdiness, andwould say no girl could ever want him. Now Riley's her number four! And she likeshim because of his nerdiness. What was wrong with Freddie? He and Riley sharedsome similar qualities. Yet somehow Riley was good enough for Sam, but not him?

He wrote his reply while he was still steaming.

When they all gathered around Sam's locker, Carly watched Freddie carefully.

Sam handed Carly number four. Sam glanced at Freddie as Carly read.- 37 -

"Why do you look so upset?" she asked him.

"No reason," he mumbled.

"Riley from National Treasure?" Carly said to Sam. Carly thought that the fact thatthe guys on Sam's list were getting nerdier was a good sign for Freddie.

"So?" Sam looked at Freddie again, waiting for a response. She was slightlydisappointed that she didn't get one.

"Read what Anti-Edward said," Carly urged.

Sam,

You're right. Riley is way better than Edward. But I need to get somethingoff my chest first.

Why are the guys on your list getting nerdier? Last I heard, you mocknerds endlessly. Especially that guy Freddie Benson. I mean, your cruelty isendless toward people like Freddie. But these guys are good enough for you?Why? What's so special about them? What makes them better than guys likeFreddie Benson? Oh. I get it. You must be too good for real guys. I guessfictional guys are the only ones who take the cake for you.

Oh shit. I just sounded like an asshole. You must hate me now. I probablydeserve it. I mean, I insulted you. If you knew who I was, you'd rip my headoff for saying all that.

Ugh. Well. I'll just say that people who are serious all the time are lameand boring. I prefer to hang out with people who aren't afraid to begoofballs.

You know, you're a fun chick. You didn't deserve the attack I just threw atyou earlier.

Oh. And I hate kids who have Edward's brand of emo.

Sorry for being a douche,

Anti-Edward

"Well," Carly said, "I think that proved he's into you."- 38 -

"He sounded a little bipolar," Sam said, but she was a little upset. Why wasAnti-Edward so mad? And... "Why'd he mention Fredpuss?"

Carly noticed that Freddie's eyes widened. "Yeah. Do you know him, Freddie?"

Freddie felt like he was going to puke. It never really occurred to him while hewas writing it that mentioning his own name would cause his two friends to besuspicious.

"Um. It could be possible," he said.

Carly just looked at him. She had no doubt that he was Anti-Edward.

The bell rang. Freddie turned to Sam and said, "Come on. We're late for class."

When they walked in, Ms. Briggs made sure to stop everything she was doing toyell at them. Sam told her to shut up, and they sat down in their seats.

Sam was even more distracted in class than usual. She was a little distressedabout making Anti-Edward upset. She needed to make things right with her littlepen pal. She opened her notebook and began to write furiously.

"What are you doing?" Freddie whispered to her.

"None of your business, Fudgeface." When she finished writing, she stood up andsaid, "Gotta use the toilet," to Briggs as she walked out the door. She walkedstraight to her locker and taped a piece of paper to it. She hoped no one would be anass and rip it off before Anti-Edward could get it.

So... How'd you all feel about that? Freddie's slipping up, isn't he?

Will Sam figure out that he's Anti-Edward? And what will happen whenCarly confronts him about it?

These questions shall be answered in the next chapter.

- 39 -

Artemis Fowl

Woot! Another chapter is up. I hope this story is keeping you at the edgeof your seats.

OK. Here we go. Oh. By the way, I don't own the Artemis Fowl series.

Chapter Eight: Artemis Fowl

Freddie REALLY wanted to know what Sam had written in their English class, butshe refused to tell him. And he bugged her about it nonstop. Eventually she smackedhim, and told him to shut up. He poured for the remainder of class.

Now he sat in Computer Science telling himself he wouldn't get jealous or angryabout the next guy on the list. Sam seemed a little distraught by his last response.He was not allowed to be such an ass this time around.

Number 3: Artemis Fowl from, well, the Artemis Fowl book series

Ok. First of all, Carly, he's Irish. Irish accents are the greatest and sexiest accentsEVER. Edward doesn't have an awesome accent. Actually, I think one of the reasonsArtemis is so high on the list is because of his wonderful Irishness...

Anywho, Artemis hangs with some pretty awesome creatures. Edward has neverhung out with elves and centaurs and whatnot.

Oh. And Artemis freakin' traveled through time. That's so kick ass. I wanna beable to travel through time.

Whoa. I just realized Artemis is the second genius on the list. Oh snap. AND he'sthe second dude who used to be bad, but is now good. I guess I'm into smart dudeswho used to be bad-like Zuko-or used to be criminals-like Artemis.

And don't you mock me for having a younger guy on this list. You will regret it ifyou do.

Freddie never knew that Sam had a favorite accent. He found himself wishing hewas Irish as he wrote his reply.

- 40 -

Carly had pretended to have cramps and said she was going to the nurse's office.She was really hiding in the hallway with Sam's locker in her sights. She was goingto catch Anti-Edward.

She had freaked out a bit when she saw something taped to Sam's locker. Shethought she had missed him. once she looked at it though, she saw it wasn't fromAnti-Edward. It was a note to him from Sam.

She heard footsteps. She smiled when she saw Freddie walk up to Sam's locker.She loved being right.

Freddie was surprised to see a note on Sam's locker. He looked at it and gaspedwhen he saw it was a note to Anti-Edward. From Sam.

"So that's what she was writing in class," he said to himself, then read the note.

Hey Anti-Edward,

It's kind of weird writing to you. I'm used to just reading notes, not writing them.But I felt that I needed to write to you to clear some things up.

First of all, I'd like to apologize for upsetting you. Though I found your angerirrational. But since you're just a stupid boy, I'll let it go. Just like I did when youassumed I wasn't a virgin. So you best feel lucky, kid. I rarely apologize and letthings go.

OK. Finally, I guess your mentioning of Freddie means that you're friends withhim. Well, I don't, like, hate Freddie or anything. So I feel I should tell you that Ibust Fredward's balls simply because it's fun. All the fighting and making fun ofeach other is me and Freddie's thing. Our bickering is practically the core of ourfriendship. That's just how we are with each other.

I actually think Freddie is a pretty great guy. He's nice to everyone, even me. Onoccasion. And he puts up with all my crap. Those who I abuse on a regular basisdon't do that. They run away from me. Freddie just stands there and takes it.Sometimes he even fights back, which is something I really respect. And I know it'shard to believe, but I actually have fun with the guy. Hell, sometimes I have morefun with him than I do with Carly.

Freddie's just awesome all around. But don't EVER tell him I said that. He'll start

- 41 -

acting all smug around me if he finds out.

Oh. And Freddie sometimes pays for food for me. I don't even have to ask himanymore, he just does it.

Well, I hope that clears everything up, and that you're not mad at me anymore.

Sam

Freddie could feel the ridiculously wide smile on his face. Sam had called himawesome. She had never said anything like that before.

He quickly broke into Sam's locker to get a pen, then added something to hisresponse of her list.

Once he taped the note to Sam's locker, a voice yelled, "I knew it!"

Freddie turned. "Carly?"

"I knew you were Anti-Edward. That's why you're only jealous of the guys on thelist, and not Anti-Edward. Because you ARE Anti-Edward." She walked up to him andslapped him upside the head. "Are you stupid? If Sam finds out, she'll kill you."

"I don't plan on having her find out. And don't you dare tell her. I can't have youmeddling in this."

"I would never!"

"Yes, you would. You always do. You can't not throw yourself into people'sbusiness, Carly. Just leave it alone."

Carly wanted to defend herself, but she knew he was right. She just had problemskeeping herself out of other people's business. Especially her best friends'.

"Can I meddle in something else if not the Anti-Edward thing?"

Freddie sighed. "What?"

"Just let me try to get you and Sam together. Or get her to admit her feelings foryou."

"She doesn't have feelings for me."- 42 -

"Oh please. I can tell she does. I read that note she wrote. Her feelings for youwere practically poured out."

"You're crazy," he said, but hoped Carly was right.

"Just let me do that one thing."

"Fine."

"So. Why did you decide to do this?"

"Well, I found the list, and thought it would be fun to torture Sam. Then I juststarted to like doing it. The fact that she cares about what Anti-Edward has to saymakes me happy."

"Aw."

Freddie rolled his eyes. "I'm going back to class."

Carly watched him walk away. She was going to get Sam and Freddie together.Even if it drove her insane.

Freddie was sitting next to Sam at lunch again. Sam found the whole thing weird.Especially since Freddie had that goofy grin on his face again. But she didn't reallymind him being next to her. Even though it was still a little weird, she figured shewould get used to him being next to her quickly.

"Tell us what Anti-Edward said," Carly demanded.

Sam hadn't been as eager to read because she was afraid Anti-Edward was stillmad.

"OK," Sam said, "here we go."

Hey Sam,

I haven't read the Artemis Fowl series, but I think I will now. We do like alot of the same things after all.

Anyway, Artemis sounds pretty cool. I'd enjoy knowing what it's like to

- 43 -

travel through time. And elves are so much cooler than vampires.

So. That's all I have for now.

And sorry again for being a douche earlier.

Anti-Edward

P.S.

Wow. Your little note did clear things up. Thanks for letting my idiocy goagain. That's sweet of you.

I think you should tell Freddie what you told me. He'd appreciate it.

Sam read the last two sentences slowly. Now Freddie knew she said nice thingsabout him.

Freddie smirked at her and asked, "What'd you say about me?"

Sam blushed. "Um. I might've said you're a nice and awesome guy," she mumbled.She glanced over at Freddie as her heart pounded. She saw that his smile had frownwider.

"Aw. Thanks, Sam," he said. "You're pretty awesome too."

She squinted at him. "Not awesome AND nice?"

Freddie snorted. "You're not nice."

"Yes I am, nub!" She flung a spoonful of applesauce in his face.

"What the hell, Sam?" He retaliated with some jello.

Carly joined Gibby and Wendy at the other side of the table. She didn't want to getcaught in any crossfire.

Their little food fight went on for about five minutes. It stopped when Mr. Howardcame up to them and gave them a detention.

- 44 -

At the end of the day, Carly asked, "So, you two watching Bones tonight?"

"Duh," Sam said.

"And, no, you can't join us," Freddie told her.

"Why?" Carly whined. Part of her did want to join them, but she wanted to see whyit was so important they were alone while watching the show. Well, alone withFreddie's mom.

"Well, it's kinda just me and Sam's thing."

"And you'd be really annoying," Sam added.

"What?"

"You'd constantly ask questions, and comment on every little thing."

"But I do that when we watch Supernatural."

"Yeah, but I tune you out. I've become a master at it. Freddie and his haven't.Actually, Mrs. Benson would kill you."

"Why?"

Freddie said, "My mom doesn't like people talking while her shows are on."

"Oh." That information only kind of gave her more perspective on their littleThursday night tradition.

Sam nudged Freddie. "Come on, Frednerd, let's get to detention." As they walkedoff, Sam said, "I can't believe this is the second time you landed me in detention."

"You started it both times!" Freddie yelled.

Carly laughed at them as they did their special flirting routine. She was wishingher friends would get together soon. Very, very soon.

Yeah, sorry the explanations on the list and Anti-Edward's responses aregetting shorter. Maybe the next two will be longer.

- 45 -

Roarke

So, I'm sure those of you who read Another 12 Months are thinking, "Wait.That's the name of Spencer and Becky's baby boy." Well, this is the guy Istole that name from.

Just so you know, I don't own the In Death series.

Chapter Nine: Roarke

"Sweet, sweet Friday!" Sam yelled as they walked into school.

"Hopefully we won't get detention again today," Freddie said.

"I don't know why you keep blaming me, Freddie," Sam said with fake innocence.

"Maybe because you're the one who smacked him with a textbook and then flungapplesauce at him," Carly told her.

Sam smiled at her friend. "I did no such thing."

Carly laughed and Freddie rolled his eyes.

The bell rang. Sam walked off to Study Hall. Carly held Freddie back.

"You're gonna be finished the list today," she said to him.

"Yeah. So?"

"You told Sam you'd give it back once you finish it."

"I'm very aware of this."

"Well, how are you gonna give it back?"

Freddie shrugged. "Put it in her locker or something."

Carly smacked her forehead in frustration. "Freddie, you're the only one whoknows how to break into her locker."

- 46 -

That was true. Freddie has helped her make it almost impossible for people tobreak into her locker. They had tried many things and failed. They once enlistedSpencer to help. That resulted in Sam's locker setting on fire. Eventually, the set upa series of really sharp pins that would pop out and stab anyone who tried to get intoher locker. Also, according to Sam, even if the person kept going after they gotstabbed, their DNA would be on the pins that stabbed them. Then they'd be able tocapture the culprit with forensics somehow.

"Good point," Freddie eventually said.

"Um. I have an idea."

"What?"

"You could tell her how you feel about her, then give her the list back after. Shemay be less hard on you if you do that."

"Or she'll kill me either way."

"Nah."

"Carly, I'll figure out a way." He walked away.

Carly knew he wouldn't figure something out. She texted Wendy and Gibby sothey could put a plan into place.

Sam was in a good mood. And not just because it was Friday. She had been havinga pretty good week. She had bonded with Anti-Edward, which was something shedidn't would happen when she first got a note from him. Then there was Freddie.They had had detention together twice that week. And they actually had a lot of fun.They wrote threatening notes to each other, and would giggle while reading them.Obviously, they were constantly yelled at. That just led to more giggling. It wassome good times. She wondered how long it would last. She liked the fun times withFreddie more than the bonding with Anti-Edward.

She decided to just enjoy it all while it lasted.

in between classes, Sam had been a little excited about the next note fromAnti-Edward. That made Freddie really happy. He loved being on Sam's mind, even

- 47 -

if it was his alter-ego.

He opened the notebook while in Study Hall, and read number two.

Number 2: Roarke from the In Death series

Mmmm. Yet another Irish man makes the list. Roarke is such a sexy beast. I amSO jealous of Eve-the main character of the series-for being his wife and getting todo the nasty with him.

So, you think Edward is all madly in love with Bella? Well, Roarke is much more inlove with Eve. He still keeps the little button that fell off the ugly suit she waswearing they day they met in his pocket. All the time. Every day. It's so sweet. Also,he never gave up on getting Eve. She didn't want to get involved with him at first, sohe basically bribed her by giving her real coffee-the series takes place in the futureand they only have, like, soy coffee crap-to win her affections. Finally, Roarke gaveup pretty much all of his criminal ways because of Eve-she's a cop. What has Edwardgiven up for Bella? Nothing. That jackass.

Roarke is also uber rich. His home is like a freakin' palace. Right in the middle ofNew York City. The grounds there are HUGE. There's an epic garden where he andEve got married. Hell, their friends Louise and Charles married each other theretoo. The house is surrounded by a wall. How epic is that? Oh. The house also has ashit ton of rooms. Eve believes she probably hasn't seen even half of them. There'seven an indoor pool. Well, it's like a huge pool room with the pool, a hot tub, and alot of space to hang out in. Eve's friends have had fun little parties there where theybasically have a spa day. The house Edward lives in is definitely not as cool asRoarke's.

OK. Let's talk about the one illegal thing he still does. He has this whole computersystem that isn't registered. That way he can do all this stuff without the manfinding out about. He can get files that Eve can't even get as a cop. That's so hot.

You really need to read the In Death series, Carly. It makes you laugh, cry, feel thesuspense when they're about to catch a killer, and turns you on. Roarke and Evehave some awesome sex scenes.

Wow, Freddie thought, Sam REALLY liked Irish guys. He decided that he neededto go to Ireland one day to see what was so special about them.

- 48 -

"I wonder what Anti-Edward will say about guy number two," Sam said to Carly asthey walked to their lockers.

"Who is it?"

"You'll see." They reached their lockers, and Sam handed Carly number two.

"Hey, ladies," Freddie said as he leaned against Sam's locker.

"How goes it, Fredlumps."

"God, you really like Irish guys," Carly said to Sam when she finished reading.

"Well, they are crazy hot," Sam told her.

"When you come over tomorrow, bring the first book of the series over."

"You wanna read the steamy sex scenes, don't you?"

"Maybe."

Sam laughed. It was funny whenever Carly admitted to her perviness.

"Enough about sex," Freddie said. "Just read Anti-Edward's note."

Sam squinted at him and said, "Fine, Mr. Bossy Pants."

Sam,

What is it with you an Irish guys? They don't seem all that special to me.They're just guys from another country with a different accent. I don't findany accents on girls really sexy. It's just, well, the girl that's sexy. Who caresabout an accent? Girls are so weird.

I noticed that the guys on your list keep getting nerdier. Well, accordingto you, they're hot nerds, but still nerds. I never thought of you to be thetype of girl who'd be into nerds. Not that I have any problems with that. Allgirls should be into nerds. We are the greatest after all. You should spreadthe word. We'd all be interested in getting a girlfriend.

So yeah. That's all I got to say. Can't wait to read number one.

- 49 -

Anti-Edward

"Seriously, Freddork, you need to meet this guy."

Freddie chuckled. "I guess so."

"He seemed kind of jealous," Carly pointed out while giving Freddie a look.

Sam shrugged. "It's flattering, I guess." The bell rang. "Let's go to class, Fredicin."

"Actually, I have to talk to him real quick," Carly said. "Alone."

"OK..." Sam headed to class. She was really miffed that Carly and Freddie kepthaving super private conversations without her.

"What is it?" Freddie asked.

"You're telling Sam how you feel about her. Tonight."

"WHAT?"

"You heard me. You'll be doing it at six o'clock."

"On iCarly?"

"No. You and Sam will join the show after you tell her. I have a plan for the showwhile you guys are talking."

"What plan?"

"You'll find out." She began to walk away, but stopped and turned to face him. "Ifyou don't meet with her, I'll kill you," she said then finally left.

By the look in her eyes, Freddie knew she wasn't joking.

Oh snap. Only one chapter and the epilogue left! I know you'll all like Mr.Number One. Some of you have guessed it already, so go you people!

I'll try to get the next chapter up as soon as possible. Promise. :D

- 50 -

Freddie Benson

Oh snap. Last chapter. But there is obviously going to be an epilogue.

So, most of (probably all of) you guys guessed Freddie was number one.Good. You all get A pluses. :D

Chapter Ten: Freddie Benson

Carly and Sam took their seats next to each other in History.

"Hmmm," Carly said.

"What?" Sam asked. Carly had been acting weird.

"I was just wondering what Freddie will think of your number one."

Sam paled, and her eyes almost popped out of her head. She had finallyremembered why she was so freaked out when she lost the list. All of her anxietiescam flooding back.

"Why would Freddie care about number one?" she asked Carly frantically. "Didyou hear something?"

"Um. No. It's just that he seems a little jealous of the guys on the list."

Sam stopped panicking for the moment. "Huh? Why would Freddie be jealous?"

"Because I'm very sure that he likes you."

"You've lost your mind, Carls."

"I can't believe you haven't noticed." She also couldn't believe that Sam hadn'tnoticed all the Freddie hints in the Anti-Edward notes. Especially since she readthem ALL the time.

"I repeat: You've lost your mind. Now, if you don't mind, I have bigger things toworry about."

Carly watched Sam try to calm her breathing.- 51 -

"Listen," Sam said after a few minutes, "Freddie can't be around when you readNumber One and Anti-Edward's note."

Carly nodded. "OK." She couldn't wait for Number One now.

Freddie sat in Computer Science. He knew part of what he was going to say asAnti-Edward in the next note. But he had to read Number One in order to write therest.

He stopped breathing when he read who it was.

Number 1: Freddie Benson

OK, Carly, stop freaking out. I know, I know. This is insane. Freddie? Numberone? How did this happen? And what the hell does this mean? I will answer all ofthis. Hopefully.

Now, I know this was supposed to be a list of fictional guys, but none of themwere number one worthy in my mind. The whole time I was making this list, onestupid nub's face kept popping into my head. I thought I was going crazy at first.Then I realized something. I like Fredward Benson. Apparently for a long time. Iknow this because I reflected on it. I think I've had a thing for the dork for years.YEARS! How could I have been into him for years and not realize it? I'm such anidiot.

Let's see. Should I talk about how he's better than Edward? I guess I should. So,he's been in love with you since the day he met you, yet he doesn't stop you fromdating all these other dudes. Edward would beat the chiz out of any dudes Bellawould have actually dated-the guys who just liked her don't count. I mean, if she forreal dated other guys. And Freddie would never be a controlling ass hat. He'd justgo with the flow. He's just that kind of guy. Plus, he'd totally adore any girl he'ddate. But not in a creepy stalker way like Edward. He wouldn't break into a chick'shouse just to watch her sleep all night long. He'd only do that if they were in thesame room while she's asleep.

Unlike Edward, he can have fun. He doesn't always take life seriously. He knowshow to make jokes and laugh. I mean, you should see us in class sometimes. We actlike a pair of loons. We piss Briggs off like crazy.

Oh. And Freddie fully has better lips than Edward. I assume he kisses better than

- 52 -

Mr. Sparkles too. The boy IS a pretty good kisser after all. You must know betterthan me, Carly. You practically made out with him every five seconds for the twominutes you were dating. You skank-stop looking offended, I'm just kidding.

So yeah. Freddie's my number one guy better than Edward Cullen. He should benumber one on EVERY girl's list. Of course, I'd beat them down for trying to get withhim. The only person besides me who'd ever be allowed to be with him is you. I'mthat good of a friend.

Oh god. I'm crazy about a nerd who's in love with my best friend. Awesome.

Freddie jumped up and screamed, "YES!"

Ginny-of all people-gave him a weird look and said, "Sit down. You look like anidiot."

Freddie did as he was told while smiling.

After he wrote his reply and taped it to Sam's locker, he realized he shouldn't benear the girls during lunch. Sam would be too uncomfortable with him around. He'dgive her a break, He's have plenty of time to revel in her liking him when he told herhis feelings at six o'clock.

Carly waited impatiently by her and Sam's lockers.

"Pst! Carls," she heard Sam whisper.

She turned and saw Sam's head poking around the corner. "What?"

"Is Freddie around?"

"Um. Nope." She had been wondering where he was.

Sam sighed. "Thank god." She walked up to her locker, and gave Carly numberone.

Carly screamed happily then wrapped Sam up in a tight hug. "You FINALLYadmitted it! I'm SO FREAKIN' HAPPY!" She let Sam go, then did a dance of joy.

Sam just looked at her with a look of annoyance. "Read the rest."

- 53 -

Carly nodded with a goofy grin on her face. After reading for a bit, she gasped.Sam assumed that Carly had gotten to where Sam called her a skank. Carly laughedafter she read that Sam was kidding. She frowned a little after finishing.

"Freddie's not in love with me anymore," she told Sam.

Sam rolled her eyes. "Yeah. Like that'd ever happen."

"You need to tell him how you feel." She was filled with joy. Her two best friendshad admitted to liking each other. Now, all they had to do was get together.

"You wanna hear what Anti-Edward said or not?"

"OK. But he'll tell you the same thing."

Sam,

Wow. Wow. Just wow. I never expected to hear you say that. Well, see thatyou wrote that. I never thought you felt that way about Freddie. But nowthat I think about it, with the way you treat him, it kinda makes sense. Holychiz. You've been flirting with him all these years, haven't you? Wow.

OK. Listen. Freddie doesn't love Carly anymore. Trust me. You NEED totell him how you feel. I sense you won't be disappointed. Hmmm. Youprobably won't do that...

You know what? You want the list back? You have to tell Freddie how youfeel. Tonight at six o'clock. You'll meet him at the swing set in the park nearBushwell Plaza. The swing set you licked.

I'll know if you don't meet with him tonight, or don't tell him. If you don'tdo either, I'll make copies of the list and post them ALL OVER THE SCHOOL.

Have fun meeting Freddie tonight.

Anti-Edward

"Did he just blackmail me?" Sam asked in shock. She didn't think he was the kindof guy who'd do that.

"I believe he did," Carly said. Freddie WOULD do that.- 54 -

"I'd miss iCarly."

"Only some of it. Don't worry. I'll handle it without you."

"OK... um. I'm gonna have lunch in the library."

"What?"

"I just need some time to calm down. I won't be able to with Freddie around."

"Where in the library?"

"Periodicals."

"Why there?"

"No one goes into that section."

"I'm sure people do."

"Have you?"

"No..."

"Exactly. See ya." Sam walked off to the library.

As Carly watched Sam go, she wondered where Freddie was. "Maybe he's alreadyin the cafeteria," she said to herself. She shrugged, then went on her way.

Freddie had taken some extra time to work on some things in Computer Scienceafter the bell rang. Once ten minutes passed, he gathered his things and went toprepare for lunch. His phone vibrated. It was a text from Carly.

CARLY: Where r u?

FREDDIE: I'm having lunch in the library. I figured Sam would feel weird with mearound. You know, because of me being number one and all.

CARLY: I kno! I'm so happy 4 u 2!

- 55 -

FREDDIE: Thanks. I hope all goes well tonight.

CARLY: It will! Hey. Where in the library r u eating?

FREDDIE: Periodicals.

CARLY: Why?

FREDDIE: No one goes in that section.

CARLY: How do u kno? People could go there.

FREDDIE: Have you ever been there?

CARLY: No...

FREDDIE: Exactly.

Carly smiled to herself. Sam and Freddie had the same idea, and seemed to be theonly two people in the school to know about the periodicals section-she didn't evenknow of its existence until Sam told her about it. They were truly meant to be.

"So why are we gonna be on iCarly tonight?" Wendy asked when Carly sat down.

"You're going to be part of a panel."

"What kind of panel?" Gibby wanted to know.

"One dedicated to Sam and Freddie's love."

Gibby and Wendy smiled brightly.

"They're together?" Wendy asked.

"Not yet. But hopefully tonight."

"It's about freakin' time!" Ginny yelled.

Carly felt all warm inside. It was nice to know she wasn't the only one waiting forthose two to get together.

- 56 -

Freddie entered the periodicals section, and saw his favorite blonde-headeddemon. She was sitting on the couch, eating her food, and listening to her PearPod.He decided that it was fate that had them both there at that moment. He was notgoing to flee, which was something he'd usually do.

He took a notebook out of his bag, ripped out a piece of paper, balled it up, andthrew it at her.

She growled and looked up. For a quick second, her eyes widened and she paled.

"What do you want, Fredly?" she asked.

"I just decided to eat lunch here today." He sat down at the table and took out hisfood.

"Did Carly tell you I was here?" She was afraid Carly had told him he was numberone. It was SO the type of thing Carly would do.

"Nope. Um. How'd you know about the periodicals section?"

"I just stumbled upon it one day. This is where I go when I skip class. I usually napon this couch. It's crazy comfy."

"You would. You know, I come here when I skip class too."

"Oh my god. Fredward Benson skipping class? It must be the apocalypse."

"Very funny, Puckett. You're not the only one who doesn't like certain classes."

"Howard's class?"

"Yup."

Sam got up off the couch and walked over to the table. She looked at Freddie'spack of Fat Cakes, then looked at him.

Freddie sighed. "Yes. You can have them."

She grabbed them happily and sat across from him.

"So, you get a note from Anti-Edward?" Freddie asked.

- 57 -

Sam choked on the Fat Cake she was eating. Once she recovered, she said, "Yeah.Just the same old response."

"Who was number one?" He had to act clueless.

"You'll never know."

"Please tell me?"

She glared at him.

"Fine. Don't tell me."

"Oh get over it."

"Never."

"Nub."

"Demon."

Sam was relieved. Freddie didn't seem to know he was number one. Either that,or he was getting really good at acting.

After they finished eating, Sam whipped out a deck of cards.

"I am NOT playing poker with you again." Freddie had lost all the money on himthe last time he played with her. Fifty bucks. Gone.

Sam pouted. "Fine. We'll play Slap Jack."

It was an extremely violent game of Slap Jack. Both their hands were definitelygoing to be bruised. Whenever Freddie won, Sam would punch him in the shoulder.

When they started swearing loudly at each other, the librarian came over and toldthem to be quiet. They burst into laughter when she left.

The bell rang.

"That was a pretty good lunch," Sam said to Freddie as they left the library.

"It was. Even though I was brutally beaten."- 58 -

At the end of the day, Sam had to tell Freddie she'd be late fore iCarly. Carlyforced her to do it.

"I'm gonna be late tonight," she told Freddie.

"It's cool. Me too."

"You too?" Did he know he was meeting HER? she wondered.

"Yup. I have an appointment."

"OK..."

"Carly said she has something planned to take up some time."

"Well, good. See ya then." She walked away. She was having severe anxiety aboutmeeting Freddie later.

Freddie, on the other hand, was very excited.

It all goes down in the epilogue. How will Sam react to Freddie beingAnti-Edwrd? What's going on in this love panel Carly has planned? WillSeddie happen? All shall be answered.

- 59 -

Epilogue

Hey, guys, sorry it took so long to update. School has been killing me.Stupid college. Anywho, it has been pointed out to me that I wrote "Ginny"instead of "Gibby" at one point. AGAIN. I do that a lot for some reason... So,I apologize for that.

OK. So this is the epilogue. I want to thank all of you guys reading this.This has been my most popular story so far. I've never gotten this manyviews or comments. You guys are awesome.

Sorry for the long Author's Note. Here we go:

Epilogue

Sam paced around the Shay apartment. She was ridiculously nervous. She had totell Freddie her feelings in fifteen minutes. Stupid Anti-Edward for black-mailingher. Though she had to respect him for having the guts to do so.

"Sam, stop doing that. You're making ME nervous," Carly said. She was actuallynervous enough without Sam's anxiety filling the room. She feared her two friendswould chicken out, and not reveal their feelings.

Spencer walked into the living room holding a telescope. Sam looked at him withconfusion.

"Go do what you were assigned," Carly said to him. Spencer and his telescope wasall part of the love panel.

Spencer nodded then left the apartment.

Sam looked at Carly. "What the hell was that all about?"

"Nothing. You should be heading to the park now."

"Maybe I'll wait a bit longer..."

"No you won't." Carly grabbed Sam's arm and led her to the door. "You're going togo and meet Freddie now. I need to prepare for iCarly with Gibby and Wendy."

- 60 -

Sam sighed. "OK." She walked out the door, and went off to the park.

Freddie stood behind a tree several street away from the swing set. He didn'twant to be the first one to show up.

Meanwhile, Sam was several feet away as well, but she was behind a bush thatwas on the other side of the swing set. She wasn't going to be the first chump toshow up.

"In five... four... three... two..." Carly said, "Hi, I'm Carly, and this is iCarly." Shewas sitting at a table with Wendy on one side of her and Gibby on the other. Gibby'sgirlfriend, Tasha, was behind the camera.

"You may have noticed that Sam isn't here right now," Carly said. "Well, Freddieisn't either. Tasha is our camera girl tonight."

"I'm sure you're all wondering WHY they're not here," Gibby said.

"Right now, Sam and Freddie are meeting at a park down the block from mybuilding," Carly told the audience. "Hopefully, they'll finally tell each other theirfeelings toward each other."

"We've all been waiting for this a very long time," Wendy said. "Everyone knowsSam and Freddie are in love, they're just too stubborn to tell each other."

"So while they're confessing their love to each other, we're dedicating this entireepisode to Sam and Freddie's romance," Carly said. "Spencer is on the roof of ourbuilding spying on them with a telescope. We'll be checking in with him throughoutthe show. We'll also video chat with you, the fans, about your opinions on this."

Gibby asked, "How about we check in on Spencer?"

"Good idea, Gibby," Carly pushed the button on the remote, connecting them withSpencer. "What are they doing, Spence?" Carly asked when his image appeared onthe TV.

"Sam is hiding behind a bush, and Freddie is hiding behind a tree," Spencerinformed them. "They're both just staring at the swing set."

- 61 -

Carly slammed her head on the table. Her friends were the most difficult peopleon Earth.

Freddie was beginning to get distraught. It was five minutes past six. Sam hadn'tshown up yet. Then he realized something. Sam wouldn't be the first to show up.She was probably hiding somewhere too, waiting for him to show up. She wouldn'twant to be the first to show up.

Freddie took a deep breath, and walked over to the swing set. He sat on a swing,and placed the list on his lap.

Sam watched him from behind the bush. She was relieved. She had begun to fearFreddie wouldn't show up. She took several breaths to calm herself then headedover to the swing set she once licked.

"Thank you, Charlotte," Carly said. "It's so refreshing to know that the fanssupport Sam and Freddie's love."

"We should give them a love name," Wendy suggested.

"Huh?"

"You know. A combination of both their names."

"Seddie!" Gibby yelled.

"That's perfect!" Wendy said with a squeal.

Carly thought that giving them a love name was weird, but just shrugged it off.

"Let's check in with Spencer," Carly said. She pushed the button. "What'shappening in the park, Spencer?"

"Carly!" he screamed. "I was just about to text you. We have movement."

The three teens at the table screamed with joy.

"What's happening?" Gibby asked.

- 62 -

"Freddie is now sitting on a swing and-" He looked into the telescope. "And Sam iswalking over to the swing set right now."

"I wish we could hear what they're saying to each other," Wendy said.

"Go Seddie!" Carly screamed. She had to admit it was a pretty catchy love name.

Sam sat on the swing next to Freddie.

"So. How goes it, Fredpuss?" she said.

Freddie turned to her and smiled. "Pretty good."

Sam looked at his lap and saw her list. It seemed like she had written it foreverago.

"Did Anti-Edward give you that?" she asked.

"Um. Kinda."

"What do you mean by kinda?" She was beginning to feel something was up.

"Well, you see. I'm Anti-Edward."

"WHAT?" Sam stood up and faced him.

Freddie gulped. It was not turning out how he expected. "I found it on the floor onMonday."

Sam ran her hands through her hair. "Oh my god. Oh my god. OH MY GOD!"

"I'm, um, surprised you didn't figure it out." The meeting was going downhill veryfast.

"How could I have possibly figured it out?"

"I mentioned myself in two notes and talked about a friend in a couple. You werethe friend. I mean, i talked about how I slapped you, and how you forced me to readDeathnote. Carly figured it out."

- 63 -

"CARLY KNEW?" Sam thought about the notes she ha
