Freddie confesses to Sam. What will happen?

Disclaimer: I don't own iCarly.

It was the night of the nights. The night that every student is dreaming of. Or nearly every student. Sam Puckett couldn't imagine something more horrible than the school prom. Being all girly in a glitter dress and dancing with boys! Ugh.

Carly had persuaded her to wear a dress. First she wanted her to wear a pink dress. Sam objected. There was no way she would wear something like that! Carly asked her how the dress of her dreams would look like. "Except for the fact, I don't dream of dresses in contrast to you, it would be…

Freddie couldn't help but stare at Sam the whole time. Why didn't she wear a dress occasionally? It looked so good on her! But he would never tell her that unless he wanted to have her fist in his face. Today she really was Princess Puckett. Carly was standing beside him. She was waiting for her new boyfriend Adam. He had to work at his part-time job today, so he would join them later. She had already noticed Freddie's feelings, but she wasn't sure what Sam was thinking. "Why don't you ask her?" Carly smiled slightly. "Ask her what?" Freddie tried to sound as clueless as possible. "Come on, just ask her! I know you want to!" Carly said impatiently, winking at him when he made his way through the crowd.

"Would you like to dance with me?" Freddie reached his hand out.

Sam was stunned. Did he really just say that now? To her?

"What?"

"I said: Would you like to dance with me, Sam?"

"No…" Sam looked totally scared. What, Sam scared? What the hell was wrong today?

Sam Puckett wasn't scared of anything, especially not of Freddie Benson. Or so it seemed until now…

While Freddie was thinking about the blonde's strange behaviour, Sam was already at the ball room door. Freddie realized his possible dance partner was gone. With a premonition, he turned to look at the exit. He only saw the last spot of her dress. Without informing anyone he followed her. It was hard to keep up with her pace, but since the last year he had gotten stronger. Sam was heading to the park near the school yard.

Freddie see her turning around a corner. At the corner, there were a lot of bushes. When he reached the spot, he couldn't see anyone. He was alone in the park.

Sam had successfully hidden herself behind a bush. There were only a few people in the world who could keep up with Sam Puckett's hiding skills. How else would she have escaped the police a thousand times? She realized it was very cold out there. It was 11 PM and she hadn't had the time to grab her jacket first before heading out. Sam couldn't help but sneeze.

What was that? Freddie looked in the direction of the noise. Too late! Sam was already on the run. Freddie chased after her. He managed to grab her wrist and spun her around, so she was forced to look at him while he was speaking to her.

„I know you're scared, Sam, but I don't care anymore. I'm just gonna say it: I love you! Why won't you give me a chance to prove I'm worthy of you?"

She couldn't take it anymore. She broke away and ran as fast as she could. Deep in her heart she really wanted to give him a chance but she was too scared it wouldn't work out. She wasn't prepared to face rejection.

Finally, she had escaped the park and reached a street. Suddenly, a blanket with chloroform was held against her mouth. Her senses faded and everything went black.

Carly had found Freddie in the park. He sat on an bench, his head in his hands. He looked very gloomy. "Freddie, have you seen Sam?" Carly was very worried. If Sam was running away, it was for sure, she ain't coming back for a long time… Freddie slowly lifted his head to look at his best friend. Carly was shocked. Freddie looked as if he would never be able to be happy again. "Freddie, what's wrong with you?" She sat next to him.

"I have seen Sam, but she ran away?"

"Why did she run away? What happened between you two? Please tell me, Freddie! I'm seriously worried!"

"OK, but promise me you won't tell anyone about it, not even Spencer."

"OK. So what did you do?"

"I…confessed."

"You… what?" Carly couldn't believe it! Finally!

"What was her answer?"

"Nothing. She just ran away without saying a word."

"OMG. What are we gonna do now?"

"Nothing, I guess. Or do you know where she might be?"

"No, I think we just have to wait a few days til she comes back…"
