"Sam! Sam I need you! Sam!"

"Cat. I'm busy. Just give me a sec."

"Uh…uh, okay! Just if you could hurry that would-ow! Cynthia, bouncy balls are for bouncing, not throwing at faces!"

Sam smirked as she continued to spread mayonnaise on the bread of the sandwich she was making. With a satisfied nod and a lick of a finger she slapped the slice of bread on the last sandwich and picked up the two trays.

"Alright," Sam announced as she walked into the living room balancing the trays on her arms, "the world-renowned "Puckett Ham Heart Attack", guaranteed to knock you off your socks and leave you wanting more. Bon appetite!"

The kids yelled and scrambled to the coffee table where Sam set the trays down. Cynthia giggled mischievously and pushed through Sam's knees with enough force that the older girl lost her balance and fell gracelessly onto the couch.

"Uh, ow!" Sam huffed knowing deep down that all scolding was done in vain. Cynthia just giggled again and grabbed a sandwich, shoving half of it into her mouth in one bite. Cynthia's twin sister Sophia grabbed the other sandwich and ate it with just as much vigor as her sister.

"You girls better chew, chew, chew or you're going to choke and-ugh, Sam they're not even listening!" Cat stepped over the back of the couch and sunk down beside Sam.

"When do they ever listen? What little twerp that we've had in this apartment has ever listened to us?" Sam countered. They both watched as the two girls giggled and ran off with their sandwiches, squealing and bouncing their way to Cat's bedroom. Cat groaned and rested her head on Sam's shoulder for a moment before jumping up and running after them.

"I really think it's awesome that you like my room so much, but I don't think spreading mayonnaise on my bed sheets goes well with the whole vibe I'm going for!"

Sam chuckled as she rose from the couch and picked up the now empty tray. On the way back to the kitchen she heard a soft ding and felt the buzz of her phone in her back pocket. She set the tray down on and leaned back on the counter as she pulled the pear shaped device out of her pocket.

An email from Carly.

SAM!

Okay, it's seriously crazy how much I miss you! I'm sorry it took me so long to reply, but I've been so busy with school…like it's so insane here. They take learning so seriously, we have so many cool labs where we study plant and animal life and we just did this whole "Sea Week" thing where we got different organisms from the ocean and ran all these tests and….I realize how much you probably don't care about this haha.

But as usual I've attached a chiz load of pictures and in those pictures you'll find all these crazy fish that look like they walked straight out of a nightmare and I know you'll think they're cool. Also in those pictures…

Okay, so you know how in the last email I was talking about James, one of the other military brat kids at the base I go to school with? Well he was really sweet and all but then I met this new guy, and Sam…oh my gosh you'd absolutely adore him! His name is Nico (isn't that such a cute name omg) and he's Italian. He lives in the little village right outside the base and he's a fisherman. Well, his father is a fisherman so that's what he'll be too. And he's got these deep brown eyes and dark curly hair and tan skin, and oh my gosh he has like the biggest arm muscles ever! And you know how I'm a sucker for arm muscles.

Well, anyway he has this boat and he took me out on it and oh my gosh it was so beautiful! But I took tons of pictures (and I made sure to include some of Nico and I) so you have to tell me what you think! I'm sure you guys would get along…he's so adventurous, like I'm pretty sure nothing scares him, and spontaneous and he can play the guitar…*sighs* ugh he's so sweet.

I want you to meet him. I wish you could meet him. I wish you were here…I miss my best friend and all the craziness that goes along with you. I think I especially miss all the crazy food concoctions you'd throw at us. Haha but anyway enough about me!

How are you? Tell me everything, how's LA? Is it as wonderful as everyone says? Have you fallen in love with any celebrities yet ;) ? And how's Cat and the babysitting thing going? I'm going to be honest with you, you taking care of young children is not exactly the career path I had in mine for you…but if the kids aren't dying and you're making good money then who am I to judge? And Cat seems really sweet, too sweet if you ask me, but then again I'm not judging. I'm just glad you found someone to help you out so soon. Cause it could have been worse.

I know you're probably going to roll your eyes as you read this, but I'm your best friend so I get to scold. And here it comes with the scoldin. I know you left like 5 months ago, but it was really scary finding out from Spencer that you just left and no one knew where you were and you didn't even say anything to Freddie and we thought you were dead…just, when you come to life changing realizations and decide to hit the open road…give a little warning next time. And I swear I won't say anything about this again in the next email (but I say that every time don't I). Anyway, just email me when something is up, I wish I could call but long distance and everything…

Speaking of calling, and I know it's pointless to mention this too because you always ignore these parts of my emails but…, I really wish you would call Freddie. He acts okay, but I know he's really lonely. His best friends just up and left him, and I'm not blaming you! Cause I did the same thing, but…we talk about you. Nothing really dramatic as it sounds but just casually…reminiscing on better times and all that…I know he misses you a lot. And I know you miss him too, not that either of you would ever admit it with your whole "frenemy" thing going on. (Really, I'd thought you two would grow out of that by now ESPECIALLY after you DATED—whoops, I'm not supposed to talk about that either, silly me ;) ) But seriously…I know he calls you sometimes, and texts you more. And you hardly ever reply, I know you've never answered his calls.

You don't have to talk to me about it, but I know he misses you so much. So just…think about it.

Well I think that's enough mushy stuff for one email! Email me back IMMEDIATELY or I will hunt you down and kill you. I love you so much!

Carly 3

P.S. you better look at all the pictures I sent you Sam Puckett!

Sam swallowed and read the email once again.

Silly Carly, she thought fighting back the intense longing for Seattle and the Pre-Move to Italy time. She set her phone down beside her on the counter and stared down at her scuffed grey shoes. She smiled to herself as her fondness for Carly burned up inside her, warming her heart. Carly and her bubbly, sweet and boy crazy ways. Carly the clucking, ever responsible mother figure. Always making sure her and Freddie are-…

Freddie.

Sam scowled at the mixed emotions arising in her at the thought of Freddie. She wasn't stupid and she had noticed Carly oh so "casually" bringing up more of Freddie in each of their emails, but this was the first time she was so bold to actually confront Sam about her lack of communications with their mutual best friend.

Best friend, Sam scoffed at the thought.

That maybe wasn't the best title for Freddie. Friend, confidante, co-conspirator, brother, lover-

Traitor.

Sam frowned. Freddie had been all of these to her. Unfortunately, he had also experienced the same feelings with Carly. And that was always their problem.

She never blamed Carly. Never. Carly was her best friend and her soul sister and ever since they first became friends as children she could never stay mad at her. And it's not Carly's fault. Not really. Carly was beautiful and sweet and kind and she always smelled like strawberries and vanilla. Guys never stood a chance.

Especially not impressionable little Freddie. And even when Freddie became not so little, he always loved her. Just like Sam did. But not in the same way.

And that last night before Carly left…

Of course she saw the kiss. Really, Sam was glad she saw it. If she hadn't she probably would have entertained some ridiculous idea that since Carly was having her own personal adventure in Italy that maybe her and Freddie could…-

But, that was ridiculous. Obviously Freddie still, and always will, have feelings for Carly and it was kind of pathetic of Sam to keep trying to interfere. Freddie and Sam clicked as friends once, and maybe that was how it was supposed to be.

But Sam knew that she would never be able to figure that out until she left. So she wouldn't have to see his stupid nub face everyday.

And seeing that stupid kiss wasn't the reason she left. There were other factors too. Crazy mom, best friend leaving, dumb teachers. Plus she was 18 and she realized she was officially an adult…and had never lived anywhere other than Seattle. How boring, how dull considering who Sam was. Who Sam and everyone else thought her to be. Exciting, dangerous, mysterious, adventurous.

Exciting and dangerous women lived in more places than Seattle.

Mysterious and adventurous girls didn't pine over childhood best friends who pined over their childhood best friends.

Sam sighed and shook her head as to shake these memories of Freddie away. She was over that. Really.

And looking back on it, hopping on her bike without so much as a goodbye all because she saw a private goodbye kiss shared between two people who cared about each other was a tad melodramatic. Not that she would ever admit that.

And Sam would be completely lying if she said she didn't have a flair for the dramatic.

Sam sighed and pushed herself away from the counter. She should probably go save Cat from those insane twinlets.

Maybe Carly was right, she thought as she made her way to Cat's room. It wouldn't be so hard to shoot Fredbag a text. She hasn't even told him where she lives now and she's been here for 5 months. Maybe she was drawing this out-

Sam froze at the sight in front of her.

"Cat! How the hell did they tie you to the fan?!"

AN: I'm baaaaack! Okay, so I know that I half-started a story right after iGoodbye like last year, but looking back that was extremely *ahem* emotionally charged because I was definitely emotionally compromised by that ending.

SO, I just kind of stopped that one because it wasn't really going anywhere and bleh.

But now that Sam and Cat finally premiered, I've been set on Seddie fire again because I'm just really intrigued to see Sam away from Carly and Freddie and how she grows apart from those two.

And then I was thinking about how the other two are doing and how it affected Freddie with the whole Sam not saying goodbye and-…yeah.

Anyway this will be multi-chapter (I'm not sure how many yet) and even though it may not seem like it, it will be filled with Seddie fluffs (flashbacks YAY).

So please review! I hope the Seddie fandom is still out there and kickin' even after iCarly ended! :)
