5.1 Decision In The Loft
Carly and Zoey had not been aware of the naughty rumours from the very start. But they had noticed soon enough that nobody wanted to go shopping or do homework with them anymore. Nobody had ever told them why, but - at last - they heard Tareen and Duke whispering behind their backs.
Zoey was downright dismayed. Where did people get such a hilarious nonsense from?
Carly's reaction was similar. She had never heard a bigger lie, and, even Sam and Freddie had believed it. She only hoped that Spencer wouldn't.
During breakfast, Zoey and Spencer used to talk a lot, usually about their favourite topics: fashionable socks/boxers/hats, law schools, and how to guard little siblings. Too bad they also had another topic to talk about one that was way less fun: The rumours about Zoey and Carly.
Spencer shrugged. "If there's one thing that Carly is not, then ..."
Carly nodded. "We know that you believe us. But who else does?"
"I wonder what Dustin has to go through. He's so easy to sway by false rumours ..." Zoey sighed in despair.
"He's a lot stronger than that, but ..." Carly sighed. Every time she started talking about Dustin, she blushed a bit more.
Carly and Zoey being done speaking of the devils, Freddie and Dustin bounded in.
"Dustin, do you really believe that I and Carly ..." Zoey stammered helplessly.
Dustin shrugged when he hugged his sister. He knew that there was something downright fishy, all of the recent news made no proper sense.
The door went open with a clicking noise, and Sam bounded in, with some piece of curved wire in her hands betraying what she had done. "Hey Carly, Zoey , Dorkward, ..."
Freddie didn't get it. That girl made out with him, and she still insulted him all the way. He went into the kitchen in order to exchange Mrs. Benson's health food snacks with something yummy from Spencer's refrigerator.
Zoey and Carly followed him, leaving Sam and Dustin alone for a moment.
"Dustin, may you tell me from Trisha?" Sam asked him.
Dustin took a closer look. "Sure, as I've made out with that b-girl. It was disgusting! I may tell her stench from that of any other girl."
Sam sighed in relief. "I believe you that it was abhorring, Trisha is such a baddie who devours boys' hearts, raw, without any trace of a remorse. Even Valerie looks like a nun when compared to her." She was close to throwing up when she thought about her sister's promiscuous dating habits.
"Do you want to say that it isn't you that made out with Freddie, but ..." Dustin shuddered uncontrollably.
Sam nodded sadly. "That's the only thing that makes sense, and it makes my intestines knot. Fredward is such a dork, but he is my dork, and I can't allow any other girl to hurt him! Especially not one particularly loose one that looks like me and is ten minutes older." Sam's eyes gleamed with jealousy.
"Reminds me about Megan's attitude towards Drake and Josh ..." Dustin chuckled. "But OK, you're porobably right. Alas, I've been talking to Freddie over and over, I just can't get through."
The kids were all done with breakfast, rigged and ready to go to school.
5.2 Big Break
Trisha met Freddie in the locker hall. "Hey! I think that smooching and holding hands is for little babies. We should think about switching to more interesting stuff that gets you rid of your prestige as a dork."
Freddie was a bit puzzled. "Er what?"
"You're pretty much an innocent guy, right?" Trisha wasn't a bit surprised, "If you keep acting all innocent like this, you will always stay a dork, even if people don't say it."
Freddie shrugged. What was Sam up to?
"Let's meet after my detention. " Trisha's voice has turned more and more suggestive. "I'll explain what I mean."
Dumbfounded Freddie couldn't help pondering about Sam's vague suggestions.
Suddenly, Dustin and Sam appeared in their way.
"Trish!" Freddie snarled at Sam. "What are you doing here?"
"Sorry to disappoint you, Freddie, but ..." It wasn't easy for Dustin. "This here is Sam. You have been making out with Trish for several weeks."
Freddie was even more confused.
Dustin nodded at Sam. They had obviously prepared something.
The wavy blonde stepped up to Fredward and grabbed his pants, pulling aloft his boxers, up to his navel.
"Awww!" Freddie squealed. Only Sam could do this.
"Do you believe me now?" Dustin asked Freddie.
He nodded solemnly. "Trisha, you've been lying unto me for how many weeks?"
Trisha went pale and paced off.
"Too many!" Dustin answered instead.
"Freddie, I can't allow Trisha to break your heart." Sam chuckled. "Nobody except me is allowed to torture you, as you're my Freddork and only mine."
Freddie sighed in relief. "Thanks! You're my good old Sam. Let's go for a smoothie? You may pick your ears with my straw, if you want to."
Sam gladly accepted Freddie's weird offer.
Carly and Zoey passed by.
"Dustin! That was the coolest thing that! ..." Carly swooned, making Dustin blush again.
Zoey chuckled. "Why, oh why, Haven't I thought of this in the first place? And I wouldn't wonder when Valerie and Trisha ..."
They noticed Trisha and Valerie across the hall, apparently accusing each other of having spoilt the plan. Then Trish walked away with wrestling hog Duke Blatzberg, a guy whome she deserved.
Dustin nodded. "And I should have known that you and Zoey ..." he hang his head in shame.
The girls hugged Dustin, forgiving all of the confusion and error.
5.3 Drake At Ridgeway
Megan's eyes bugged out when she saw her birthday surprise. "Drake!" She squealed when her brother and his band showed up, dressed in the new outfit designed by Zoey Brooks.
Zoey and Carly chuckled.
"Hi sis!" Drake chuckled. "What do you have on store? Toxic bacteria that explode?"
Josh twitched when he heard that.
"Er ... something similar." Megan sighed. "But only if you make fun of him ..." Megan pointed into Nevel Papperman's direction.
"We'll make you rue the day if ..." Nevel thundered at Drake at Josh.
"No way!" Drake sighed. "I've been worried so much about you, so I'm glad that you've already found some special friend."
"Very special!" Josh twitched when he saw the scary look in Nevel's face.
Megan chuckled. "And do you know who makes the bacteria, poison, and explosives?"
Drake and Josh trembled when Quinn approached.
"Quinn Pensky, winner of the state-wide science fair." Quinn smiled enigmatically.
The word "science fair" made Josh's heart beat faster. "So you invent stuff?"
Quinn nodded. "Lots, do you want to see some? I may also explain my theories unto you."
Josh smiled. "Of course!" He was totally happy and disappeared with Quinn, looking at her latest inventions and theories.
"OK, boob!" Megan explained, "Nevel and I, we have figured that making plans for pranks is much more interesting and rewarding than actually pulling pranks. But, really, we have to concentrate on our concert. Oboe solo with piano backup."
They heard a sound of explosing coming from the next room, knowing immediately that Quinn and Josh were behind it.
"It seems that they have a lot of fun together!" Drake remarked when Zoey and Carly stepped up to him. "Zoey Brooks! Your design for my outfit ... I've decided it's worth more than just another concert."
Carly introduced Sam to Drake. "She's been a fan of yours for several years. She's even got a life-sized poster of yopu over her bed!"
Zoey smiled. "Let Carly announce your concert. She runs a web show, and we are now on it, live!"
With Drake's consent, Carly picked the microphone. She listened to Freddie's countdown. "Hello girls and boys, this is ..."
Before Carly could say any other word, Amber Tate 1 stormed the stage and tore the micro from Carly's hand. "Amber Tate!"
"Amber!" Drake squealed in surprise, while Carly was utterly dismayed. Drake recognised the new shining star of TVS who was about going to make it to Hollywood. "What a nice surprise! Thanks Carly for that!"
Carly shrugged and stammered. "Er, yeah, nice surprise ... I think." She was heavily disappointed because Amber got all of the attention, side by side with Drake. "Aren't they a cute couple of stars?" she remarked ironically to Zoey.
"Yeah, too bad Amber is still too young, but she won't be a minor forever." Zoey smiled.
"What a boobette!" Megan remarked about Amber unto Carly who nodded joyfully.
Drake's performance came along smoothly, and Carly didn't mind any longer that Amber had stolen the show. The viewers admired Carly's organisational skills.
"You're my only star!" Dustin admitted unto Carly, making her blush.
Freddie didn't mind Sam picking her ears with his bluetooth.
Alas, Sam wasn't just obnoxious, she actually helped Freddie unknotting a bunch of confused wires and stuff. She was more versed with technical stuff than she had let people know, at least so far.
5.4 Conclusions
It was time for Zoey to say good-bye to Seattle. She shook Spencer's hand after hugging Dustin. "Thanks for hosting me. It hasn't been easy for you."
Spencer shrugged. "It wasn't easy to drop out of law school either, just to dive into an uncertain business. It wasn't quite easy assuming responsibility for Carly when she was 12 years old. It wasn't ..."
Zoey nodded. "You've gone through a lot. I feel terrible for causing you all of the trouble because of those naughty rumours about Carly and me." Zoey hang her head in shame.
Spencer agreed. "You've been a great help for me. I wish we could talk more about Dustin and Carly, law school, fashionable socks ..."
Zoey sighed. She wasn't at all looking forward to missing all those conversations that had made her swoon for hours. "We may mail us about all that? And I'm just a phone call away. I'll talk to you when I'm about deciding in favour of either law or fashion. promised!"
Spencer beamed. "That would be great." He waved sadly at Zoey when she boarded her machine to New York.
Dustin chuckled at Carly. "Your brother gets well along with my sister!"
Carly smiled at Dustin. "Aw, how cute. One could even think that they liked each other. But ... I like you much more!" She blushed when she pecked Dustin's cheek.
"Not as much as I like you!" Dustin replied, but then he saw Freddie and Sam sitting happily in the next corner. "Look at these lovebirds!"
Carly snickered politely. She hadn't seen that coming, but now she was all happy for them. "Even if Sam had had thousand identical twins, Freddie wouldn't have confused her any more."
Dustin agreed wholeheartedly. Zoey was about moving on, and Dustin was happy about living next door with his nice, pretty, and charming girlfriend Carly. They were looking forward to listening to Megan's and Nevel's presentation of Mozart's unpublished works.
Nevel and Quinn were going to enroll at Caltech where they were about preparing their research project that was finally going to award them with Nobel's.
Amber and Drake were going to earn a series of Oscar awards together, more than anyone else had ever done before.
Even after years, Carly and Dustin were not going to refrain from blushing when being around each other. Their puppy love may never grow old.
