Chapter 1 Pilot
1.1 Yakima College
A gentle wind from the west blew across Yakima valley, a pictoresque landscape within the less urbanised part of the state of Washington. This was the location of Yakima College, an institution of postsecundary education. Summer had come to an end. Unlike Seattle, Yakima was located hundreds of yards above sea level. Its winters were not as suave as those of coastal Washington. This allowed for activities like skiing, not to the degree of e.g. Aspen in Colorado, though. Alas, many students welcomed this climate for a change. Some young people, however, had chosen this place for different reasons. Yakima was rather rural. It did not offer any of the distractions of a big city: no cinema running for twentyfour hours a day, no endless malls, no great teams for the greatest typical American sports, no exciting clubs, and stuff like that. Life over here was, on the other hand, cheaper and safer than in certain centres of civilisation. And it was denitely more quiet.
It took Spencer one year to nd a willing law school. His vitae was terrible. Grandpa Shay had to use his contacts and struggle hard in order to sneak his grandson into Olympia Law School. Carly had enjoyed her freshman year. But many things were now different. The worst of those news are going to be dealt with later on.
Carly tried to fall asleep. But she did not get far. Shes started screamimg. No, Freddie! You must be joking? Megan startled. Carly? Whats going on? What has Frednub done to you? Fredward Benson was a boy living next door to Carly at Bushwell Plaza in Seattle. He had been hankering after her for over ve years. Nowadays, he was taking classes at a technical school in Seattle in order to become a metal engineer. He was obsessed with sandpaper.1 Carly had not really been returning Fredwards affection as much as hoped, barring a few days following his bad accident. She had almost been run over by a truck, only saved by Freddies suicidal intervention. But this dangerous event had been during their soph yearat high school. It did not cause a change on the long run. Alas, things changed during Carlys rst year in Yakima. The separation hasd made Carly ponder about her demeanour towards Freddie. She had started pitying the dweeb for his endurance and his permanent disappointments. Thus she had decided to give him a try during the summer break. She had missed him a lot, and also her other frineds from her old shool, such as obsessiuvely rude girl Samantha Puckett, nowadays preparing for her career as a grease monkey. But, after a few weeks, there had been one unpleasant surprise. Carly had accidentally listened to a phone conversation between Freedward and Samantha. Therein, Fredward had claimed to have won his bet with her. What had been Freddies and Sams bet been about? Plain and simple, Sam had always claimed Carly will never love Fredward. They had made this subject of the bet. Freddie boasted now with being victorious. But he also admitted to really loving Sam. Dating Carly was just for the sake of the bet. And Sam accepted this without a trace of hesitation. So, Carly had just been abused. Even worse, a medical test resulted in the following: Carly Shay was pregnant, with Fredward Bensons baby! She could not go back to Freddie just for the babys sake, knowing him in love with Sam. In addition, Fredwards mother, neurotic bitch Marissa Benson, was most likely going to wreak havoc upon hearing about Freddie becoming a dad. regardle of the babys mother. And Sam had only used Carly shamelessly for about a decade in order to avoid youth prison. Carly thus had kept her pregnancy a secret. She did not want to bother Fredward or Samantha, or even Spencer with it. Talking to her grandfather would have been even worse. Thus she decided to tell Megan the bloody story.

Carlys cousin gasped. Oh my gosh! Carlys faith prevented her from abortion. Adoption was such an awkward hassle. Carly did not know where to start, especially without telling Spencer, grandpa, or her father. The latter was an airforce commander living abroad. Raising her baby on her own was not exactly a nice prospect, either. And boys were rarely keen on considering a girlfriend pregnant from someone else. Thus Carly considered her life ruined. Megan shrugged. She would have liked to help her cousin, notwithstanding the latters conict with Nevel. But she was just a teenage girl.
Nevel had had a crush on Megan since their rst common attendance of Camp Opera, a summer school for gifted old-fashioned instrumental musicians. As aforementioned, Megan mastered the oboe. Nevels instruments were the recorder and the piano. He was, on top of all, gifted with absolute audition, in addition to other extreme sensitivities. Megan and Nevel had not started being a couple until a bit later, though. This will be dealt with at some different point. Their musical abilities caused them to be chosen for the opening ceremony of the new academic year at their college. But before the solemn opening, Nevel had to accomodate in his new residence on the campus.
Megan panted. I know that school. Great stuff! I would have loved to go there. But bear with it! Nevel sighed. Megan was worried about Carlys fans. There are two camps among them. One half are so-called Creddiers, favouring a relationship between Freddie and Carly. The rest of them are Seddiers. Thery favour a relationship of Freddie and Sam. Nevel had heard about that bloody war. In aother words, the fans will wreak havoc upob being informed about Carlys pregnancy and her choice, or Freddies choice, to refrain from raising the kid together. Megan fainted. Youre so right. It must stay a secret. But it was impossible for anyone to hide Carlys secret forever, wasnt it?
Spencer did not fear Zoey, but the anonymous masses. Would yopu please not tell anyone outside the school about my status as a student? Zoey gasped. OK, lets see . . . youre apparently too embarrassed for having decided to make something of your life, even at your progressed age . . . . well, I wont spread the rumours. She did nopt understand Spencers embarrassment, though. Spencer explained, Thanks, Ms. Brooks! See, it was not really my decision. Zoey looked puzzled. What do you want to say? Spencer moaned, its all my grandpas fault. Then he told about his background and his former life as a starving artist. Zoey sighed deeply. OK, I like arts, too. In fact, I would also have loved to become a fashion artist. But mon and dad . . . bearwith it! Spencer shrugged. Zoey continued. Whatever, I like being a student here, among fantabulous fellow students. And you should do the sdame, regardless of your age. Spencer wasnt convinced. But he followed Zoeys advice. On the other wise, he would blame and condemn her forever in the case of getting disappointed by the party. The fun could begin. Spencer wasnt exactly the life of the party. But it would be better than shutting himself away in his loft for yet another night.
Chapter 3 Signing Up
3.1 After the Party
The next morning, Spencer returned to school with a relentlessly spinning head. Zoey crossed his way. Spencer did not notice her appropriately. And then it was too late. Spencer stumbled and boyunced from corner to corner. Some students tried to catch him. But that was not easy. Zoey Brooks shook her head. Suddenly, Spencers but started burning. A few of the students squealed. Zoey looked around and grabbed a re extinguisher. She used it correctly in order to kill the ames. Phew! Where did this come from? Spenecer sighed deeply. This always happens to me. Most of the students chuckled mercilessly. Spencer sighed deeply. Zoey covered Spencers disgusting rear end with a towel. OK, that was sure entertaining. Yesterday, youve been so embarrassing with your belly rub dance. Spencer gasped. What? Ive learned it from my pal Socko. Its cool. Zoey shook her head. Then she had to adjust Spencers trousers. This way, she discovered his socks. She gasped. Spencer wondered, Hey! These socks are cool. He ailed with his arms. Zoey asked and those socks are from your pal Socko? Right? Her voice was absolutely sarcastical.
Spencer nodded. Sure! He always sells me those things. And he has got a brother, Tyler. That one sells me suits. And then they have got a sister, penny. She invented the Penny shirts. Zoey choked hard. She removed Specers overcoat in order to take a look at his suit. Of course, she did not believe in his lies involving ctional friends like Socko, Tyler, and Penny. She knew very well about the true origins of the socks, suits, and shirts worn or mentioned by the overaged freshman. She had designed them herself during her life at Pacic Coast Academy. But how have those clothes made it into Spencers possessions? And why does he have to lie about them? He was hardly going to answer the straight way. What a strange guy, thought Zoey for herself.
And that enviar had been no other than Samantha Puckett. The pernicious onslaught upon her life notwithstanding, Leann had never said any bad word about Sam. Let Him Who is Without Sin Cast the First Stone!2 . Nevel wished to have been a bit like ecopacist Leann. He was strong in faith, but did not approve of that stoic inltration of christianity. Carly would have been able to forgive him years ago, saving him from this stupid hiding game. Nevel wondered about Leanns potential suitability for the upcoming tedious task of mediating between Creddiers and Seddiers. But for that avail, he would have had to ll in Leann into Carlys situation. Was this really an option? Leann started talking. Hey, Ive seen your performance at the opening celebrations. Nevel grinned. Erm . . . yeah? Leann continued, you must be very gifted. Nevel smiled. Ive got the absolute audition! Leann gasped. Hey! Thats cool! You know, Ive been at various pageants. Often enough, Ive played one or the other woodwind in the segment about talents. Nevel banged his head against the table. He had already heard her perform in local radio. You must be upset about not having been chosen for the opening orchestra. Leann shook her head. Not at all. Im not all that good at that. Really, she was just too humble to admit to her masterhood. In addition, I had been extremely anxious. Nevel nodded. But we all may be anxious when performing before a bigger group. Leann sighed deeply. There was another reason. Theres a new transfer student here at Yakimas. His name is Zachariah Carter-Schwartz. Nevel wondered, a relative? Leann moaned, yea and nay. Its a step-brother of mine. He came hereto upon my recommendation. Nevel nodded. Many people choose a college following their friendsand familys recommendations. Leann sighed. Thats true. But in this case . . . She blushed. Im totally in love with him. And he doesnt know. Hell probably laugh about it. Nevel coughed. Hell rue the day for laughing! Until dystopia will he . . . Leann gaped. Hey! Thats nothing to be pronounced lightly. Nevel sighed. Sorry! Leann calmed down. Its OK. See, I havent come to see him a lot during the last ten years. Weve lived across the continent. But we both have always pitied animals. Ive been helping out in some animal shelter for ten years, down in Seattle. Zach is a Ras Tafarian, a follower of Bob Marley. Nevel wondered, the reggae idol? Leann nodded. Ive always admired his endeavour. She blushed and swooned. Nevel sighed. He thought, Zach and Leann would be a lot of help in calming down the wicked war ablazing between Seddiers and Creddiers. Maybe bringing them together will make them even more willing to do the dirt work? He chuckled silently, but with glee.

3.3 Internships
In the evening, Zoey walked past the bulletin board. Many lawyers from the region were posting offers for internships. Zoey signed up for won of them sounding most interesting. Spencer walked past Zoey and a few other female students of law. Zoey asked, have you already found an internship for the fall break? Spencer yawned. Hell, do I need one? Im still all dizzy. Maybe I wont even make it past the rst 72 hours. Just like last time. Zoey shook her head. Come on, you are really not that bad! Spencer was not so convinced. Zoey explained, my brother Dustin is an undergraduate at a college in Yakima Valley. Spencer gasped. Carly, you know, my sweet little sister, is also studying in Yakima. Zoey smiled. Not bad! So maybe we can visit them together, in one car, saving quite a few gallons of gas. Spencer shrugged. Maybe! He wanted to see Carly, but he was not happy about the prospects of encountering his grandfather. Zoey continued, so Ive signed up with some experienced lawyer from Yakinma. His name is . . . She looked at her mini cheat sheet. Shay? Shay? She looked aghast. Spencer sighed deeply. Thats my grandfather. He stomped his feet. Zoey moaned, then he will as sure as hell choose you. She looked disappointed, Spencer shook his head. Come on! Go there! Hell see a decent student of law and realise: Im a total loser and slagger. Then he will maybe send me off law school! Come on, do that! His voice was desperate and sarcastical. Zoey grabbed Spencers wrists. No way! You are not that bad, and you have not got a reason for downing yourself like that. Ill come with you to Yakima and take care of you. Dont even dare to try to run away from your grandpa! Spencer twitched. He wondered, why was Zoey Brooks so determined? But, in the end, his desire to see his little sister Carly again was strong enough to agree on a deal with Zoey Brooks. Both Zoey and Spencer wondered about Carlys and Dustins rst days. They are certainly enjoying their undergraduate life a lot. they guessed unison. Too bad they were so wrong . . .
Recovering Spencer moaned, I prefer Hawaii over Yakima any day. Really. I do know Drake Parker. More than just that. Zoey was curious. Spencer admitted, but dont tell it anyone. We are cousins. Zoeys eyes bugged out. Spencer started the engines and released the brakes. The rusty vehicle made its way into the dreamy countryside of Washington in the early days of fall. For Spencer, this was a home trip. The next weeks were going to rush past him. Winter days were not far away. Unlike Seattle and Olympia, Yakima would greet him in a white coat. Zoey was still worried abourt safety. What if the bad state of the roads make the car crash in the middle of the land of nowhere? Spencer tried to calm Zoey down. I do know the road, just as mypants pockets. The car was shaken violently. Spencer comment, hole number one, I call it Charly. Zoey shook her head. Spencer had got a name for every hole. Zoey prayed hard for reaching Yakima in one peace, and even more for not needing anything located in Spencers trousers pockets. Spencer started telling Zoey stories about his time in Yakima. Later, Spencer had become responsible for Carly, and they moved to Seattle. But Grandpa Shay would almost have forced Carly to leave back to Yakima. Zoey remarked, that would have denitely better for Carly! Spencer grunted, whats that supposed to mean? Zoey scratched her head. Nothing really . . . She whistled innocently. The car stumbled its way across the streets of rural Washington. And they almost reached their goal. Only two miles from Yakima, the sockomobile saw its hindside ablazing, without a trace of a reason. Spencer and Zoey had to make the rest of the road on foot. But now they reached the traditional home of the Shays.
Carly deemed Spencers demeanour inappropriate. Spencer banged his head against a fence pole and let it hang low. Sorry! So . . . whos the dad? Freddie? Carly nodded sadly. Spencer asked, does he already know? Will you marry? Mrs. Benson will not . . . Carly shook her head. I wont tell him. And I certainly wont marry the censored . Spencer shrugged. Why so? Carly explaine dthe situation. Spencer was now really upset at the nice boy next door. Carly started weeping at her elder brothers shoulders. Dont tell grandpa! And not Mrs. Benson, either ... Spencer ran his ngers slowly through Carlys long, dark, and smooth hair. Why didnt you tell me earlier? Carly didnt want to answer. She just wanted it to stay unbeknownst to anyone as long as possible. Spencer regretted having let Carly hang out with Samantha Puckett. Shes just a false snake. Carly nodded. But Freddie never loved me to begin with. Spencer announced, he will pay for this dearly! Carly wondered, what are you up to? Spencer sighed. You better dont know! He sobbed bitterly. Carly had nally calmed down. Grandpa Shay was now done with interviewing Zoey Brooks. They showed up at the door of the mansion. Old Mr. Shay wished Zoey a nice visit to Yakima College and her brother. Spencer asked, grandpa, may I borrow your car in order to take Ms. Brooks to . . . Zoey and the shark grunted unison, no way! Spencer sighed sadly.

The latter had not allowed Carly to go to some event with brutal jocks of the worst sort. Nevel remembered the session of Carlys web show with the faked Carly. He could have helped Zach to nd Geena. But did he want to? According to Nevels intuition, Leann was the way better girlfriend from Zach. Geena is just hot. Zachs and Geenas attraction, inspite of having been friends for many a year, could not be but physical. Geena must be really shallow. But Leann and Zach are soulmates. I have to make Zach nd out about this. So maybe I shgould get him to nd Geena Fabiano, just in order to make him see this truth? Zach kept on talking about the old times at Rocky Road. Nevel took notes in his mind. Hed had to report the tricky situation to Megan. And he had to prevent Leann from breaking down when hearing the newws about Zachariah Carter Schwartz and Geena Fabiano.
Carly nodded solemnly. Wow! You really remember those things? Wait! It wasnt even said in the web show! Megan chuckled. Some birds have twittered. Carly was afraid of twittering birds. Those little monsters could spread news about her pregnancy like wildre and provoke further mayhem between Seddiers and Creddiers. Megan continued, really, her boyfriend from middle school or high school times, somewhere far away, is now a student here at Yakima here at Yakimas. Maybe she would like to know. Carly gasped. Oh, that would be totally sweet. Megan grinned, able to hide her mischief. OK, do you know how to contact her? Carly sighed. Without alerting Fredfart Benson? Megan sobbed, thinking that problem just had to be . . . But Carly remembered something, Geena had been up to going to Seattle Art. Shes a passionate beautician and fashion designer. Megan smiled. OK, all we need to do is to check for her in there. Carly nodded solemnly. The grandpa of my school pal Gibby is a retired hairdresser. He is now a honorary teacher at Seattles vocational colege for beautician arts. Megan chuckled. You mean shirtless Gibby? Carly nodded solemnly. Yeah, that one! Megan smiled. He wont go straight to Fredward and Samantha and . . . Carly sighed. I dont hope so. Megan moaned, OK, weve got to risk it. Carly looked up Gibbys current address. She had not seen him since graduation. Gibby had been rejected by all colleges because of not wearing a shirt. He was probably working as a model for beauty classes, getting himself stained and mutilated all over his shirtless body. Megan saw Nevels intuition conrmed. Beauticians and fashion freaks were one shallow bunch. Megan hated especially a certain Caitlyn Valentine from Los Angeles. That hyperstupid girl had once been responsible for making Megans mask for a concert. And she had turned Megan into a painted monkey. She had been talking incessantly about cute nothings instead of concentrating on Megans face. It had been Megans rst concert common concert with Nevel after their mutual declaration of eternal love. It should have been a moment of greatest glory, not a dumb joke. This had made Megan particularly angry. There was absolutely no way for Megan to ever forgive that perverted bimbo wench. So there would not be much of a competition for Leann. Even Carly was going to understand that with ease.
Chapter 6 Fall
6.1 Climate Shock
Days passed in silence. Summmer was nally gone. Fall had broken into the valley of Yakima. Carly Shay also felt like totally fallen. But that was a different topic. Frosty days in October were not too rare. But the days were still mild. The surrounding mountains would soon appear in white. This was completely different from southern coastal California. Dustin Brooks had spent most of his life at Pacic Coast Academy near Los Angeles, or, more porecisely, at the dreamy beach of Malibu. The loss of the warmth of that region was going to be a great problems during the following months. In Los Angeles, Dustin could walk out on the campus in the mornings with fairly loose clothes even during the winter months. Frost was totally unusual. But up in Yakima, Dustin was forced to be careful to not underdress. Zoey had made some extra fashionable socks and tops for him. She admonished him to wear them. Megan was from San Diego, even more to the south and closer to the Mexican Border than Malibu. She had got the same problems with accomodation to the rougher climate of Yakima. At some days, she missed badly the warmth of California. Even for kids from the lower, coastal regions of Washington, such as the metropole of Seattle, there was a large need for accomodation. Seattles winters were replete with hard rains, but fairly deprived of snow and frost. Now, Carly was not going to deem this a big loss. She hated rain. And she hoped for the snow. The white pride was going to be a good cover for her moral losses.
At the same time, Nevel Papperman was on his quest of nding Zachariah Carter Schwartz girlfriend or maybe ex-girlfriend Geena Fabiano. Zach still deemed her a big loss. As aforementioned, looking for the shallow-minded wench was not easy. Nevel knew Gibby, of course. But he did not really trust the shirtl;ess freak. He needed some more reliable informer. His rst bet was Chuck Chambers. This had been Carlys and Spencers main enemy within Bushwell Plaza. By means of a phone call, Nevel had ordered Chuck to spy after the shirtless creep. Chuck was an expert for actions of sabotage and havoc. Nevel was now awaiting Chucks rst report. And there was a call from his henchman. Chuck and his girlfriend Melissa Robinson1 had actually been able to track down Gibby in his grandfathers attic.
6.2.2
Nicole Bristow
Gibby was now really working as a test guy for future hairdressers. His grandfather was no longer alone in his barbers shop. He had got a few interns and employees. The most promising wass one Nicole Bristow from Kansas, a good old friend of Zoey Brooks. She was the favourite new employee of the grandmaster of northwestern hair styling. But, worse than anything else, she was an uncontrollable bimbo wench of the most annoying sort. Her favourite catch were cute boys. According to Nicole, there had been innitely many of them at Pacic Coast Academy, together with a beach and pools, and have I already mentioned the cute boys? She had left Pacic Coast Academy prematurely because of having been overly obsessed with boys. This disease had never ever changed. Kansas was totally devoid of cool and cute boys. It was full of disgusting dweebs. And Seattle was not all that much different. Nicole was particularly abhorred by the one and only true Charles Cornelius Gibson. Too bad she had to cross his ways on a daily base. Alas, Gibby ws suffering from a one-sided crush on Nicole.
1 Missy
His grandfather would have liked Gibby to marry the future owner of his barbers shop. He was thus all in favour of Gibbys crush. But he could not rush it. Nicole also mourned the loss of southern Californias sunny weather. She hated Seattles endless clouds and rain. The weather up here is not cute at all!
6.2.3
Espionage
Chuck had told Nevel a lot about teh situation over at old Gibsons, but he had no clue concerning Nicoles feelings. Nevel concluded, OK, Nicole is a horrible bimbo. You may easily squeeze some information about Seattle Arts off her. Chuck imagined sadistically squeezing Nicole into s giant juice press and squishing her like a bunch of ripe strawberries. Funnily, Nicoles dad ran a softdrink factory in Kansas. He sold equipment to many juice bars, such as Groovy Smmothie in downtown Seattle, Freddies and Sams favourite place to hang out after work, and also Juice, a place near Zachs and Geenas home. But neither Nevel nor Chuck knew about that. Nevel suggested, simply get your hair cut in Gibsons barbers shop! Chuck sighed. It isnt that long. Nevel moaned, I cant get mine cut again. I need each hair I can in order to stand through the winters of Yakima. It may be frosty soon enough. But Chuck had got a better idea. My sister Gia2 has got much longer hair. Nevel grinned and clenched one of his sts. Excellent! You know where to send her in order to get her hair cut. Chuck grinned with excruciating glee.
6.2.4
Hairy
Gia was sitting in grandpa Gibsons barbers shop. She insisted in Nicole as her haircutter. Megan had organised a microchip for her, allowing her to communicate in a wireless mannner with her brother Chuck. The toxic gnome was hiding in the toilets. Gia had no clue concernig Chucks plans. But this was nothing unusual. She was easy to use for her brothers purposes. Nicole had sarpened the blades of her scissor and let then cut clean through the hair of Miss Bushwell Plaza. Like most hairdressers, Nicole was exorbitantly chitchatty and careless. Thus Gia got had no problems in getting her to talk casually.
2 cameo
Nicole announced, I bought this pair of scissors from a certain Jade West from a school named Hollywood School for the Professional Performing Arts. She threw it after me after having messed up her haircut. Gia chuckled. Jade must be very impulsive. Nicole nodded. But the boys in California are so cute, oh so cute. She sighed deeply. Gia had got a hard time getting Nicole to talk about Seattle Art School, though. But the bimbo nally decided to open her mouth. And she even mentioned Geena Fabiano. She is in the cafeterai in the back room each lunch, and she goes to Groovy Smoothie after classes. It seems to be really popular. My dad supplies them with juice presses. Gia grinned. How good for him! For a few details, I give you the number of a cute boy, but hes already a bit older, lets say, thirty-two. Nicole didnt mind. For the number of a hot guy, she gave away everything in her possession. Gia rendered unto Nicole the number of Spencer Shay. The law school revenant had, once upon a time, had got a crush on Gia. But she was bored by him. Maybe Nicole had got better luck? She did not only receive his number, but also a picture. She rubbed it against her face. Wow! Hes really cute. So cute!.
Chapter 7 Shockwave
7.1 Finding Geena
Chuck Chambers was dressing as a janitor in order to sneak more easily into the building of Seattle School for Practical Arts and Beauty. It was a really big hall. Many students walked forth and back. The teachers were sometimes a bit strange. One of them was Ms. Fielder1 , a woman in Spencers age. Chuck Chamgers looked a t his cheat sheet. Geena Fabiano was supposed to be in the classes of Ms. Fielder. Chuck adjusted his denim overall. He grabbed his bucket and his broom. Ms Fielder wondered, hey! The class rooms should have been already polished by this time. Chuck replied, I know! But I better check it twice. The nightshift is not to be relied on. My Californian teacher from custodian college, Buddha Bob2 Ms. Fielder gasped. Oops! If things are like this . . . She was shocked about the stupidity of the nightshift. Chuck entered the classroom. Most of the students were already present. There was also Gibby. He was not a student, he probably served another purpose. Chuck looked at the corner. Aw, a hair! Gibby yelled, thats my rst chest heir! Sam Pucket always pulls it loose! Chuck explained, hair is full of germs! He took some squirting can lled with detergents. Here we go! He took care of the infected spot.

Ms. Fielder talked to the syudents. Today, we are are discussing the subject of body painting. You will all contribute to a new painting on Gibbys chest and his back. Gibby smiled. Ms Fielder continued, Ive considered your last works. Some of your toenail paintings were perfect, some were not so good. As usual, Geena Fabianos work was the best. The class applauded fanatically. Geena stood up and bowed unto the applauding audience. Ms. Fielder continued, This is good so. Next week, Harry Joiner3 Geena stammered, Jo . . . Jo . . . Jo . . . Miss Fielder nodded. Joiner, the greatest pop artist ever. Geena, would you please start painting the stars and stripes onto Gibbys chest? Geena noded solemnly. She took a medium-sized paint brush and dunked it into a pot of blue colour. Chuck remarked, oops! This paint needs to be made germ-proof rst. Ms. Fielder gasped. What? Germ proof colour? Chuck boomed, do you know how many kids at American schools die each year from infected paint? Ms. Fielder shook her head, stammering, No clue! Chuck continued, no glue, either. Glue is harder to be turned germ-free. Oops, Ms. Fabiano has got a nasty paint stain on her top. We need to remove it in the janitors closet! Ms. Fielder was consternated. OK, a woman needs to do what a woman needs to do, sometimes . . . in Geenas absence, I will tell you a bit about the history of the colour pink. The students moaned. Geena sighed and followed Chuck. Ms. Fielder started teaching lessons.
Chuck grubnted, what? Geena said, Im no longer into him as a girlfriend. Im into a student here at Seattle Arts, viz. Stuart Laserbeam4 . I just want to see Zach again as an old friend. Chuck thought, thats good for Nevel and his plans . . . very good indeed! He rendered a sheat with the informations concerning Zachs whereabouts unto Geena. Have a nice time in Yakima! He ran away. Geena gasped. But my stain! Your bucket! Your broom! She shrugged and walked back to her classes. But the shock was still sitting deep inside her.
not know. They would hate Carly for being pregnant with Freddies baby and try to force Carly into an abortion. Thats really an evil situation. Dustin was still consternated. Nevel left him now alone. He was awaiting a more detailed report from Chuck Chambers concerning the encounter with Geena Fabiano. He had already received a short message. Nevel also needed to inform Zach.
The overaged student of law gasped. The impact of Nicoles surprise somersault pressed Spencer against the wall. Nicole boomed, youre so cute! She went on and on. Spencer had got a hard time recovering from the bimbo attack. Zoey was not little surprised by this action, either. She pulled Nicole away from Spencer and tried to calm her down. Then she helped Spencer standing up again. Sorry for my friend. She is a bit impulsive. Spencer wondered, just a little bit? But he could not deny liking it to some degree. Zoey asked Nicole, how do you know Mr. Shay? Nicole replied, Gia Chambers, one of my customers, told me about him. Spencer shuddered. My ex-girlfriend from . . . like . . . three years ago. Zoey shrugged. Her loss . . . oops! Nicole begged Spencer for a date. Speechless Spencer nodded solemnly. He was just unable to contradict. Zoey was not exactly pleased by Nicoles and Spencers dates. But why was this the case?
Chapter 8 Forgotten
8.1 Restless Dreams
Carly Shays nights were more or less plain terror. Her relentless dreams dreams made her head turn round and round like an old record, and one with a scratch. Those scratches caused her to wake up over and over again, preventing her from getting her well-deserved sleep. But of course she could not simply take some sleeping pills. Most medications useful for adults were poison for her baby. In addition, her grandpa may have found them. Megan suffered an insane lot from Carlys creeping insomnia. She was made wake up, too, by Carlys restless dreams. Apparently, Carly remembered each and every word she had said to Fredward Benson during the last seven years. The creep next door had started hitting on Carly back then and ever since got her caught in a game of tease and run, culminating in the horror trip from last summer break. For example, Carly had offered him to share her lip gloss with Fredward, making him think of a mouth kiss. Fredwards heart had started missing the beast, making him swoon. He closed his eyes. Carly, alas, had thereupon scraped some lip gloss off her lips and smeared it onto Fredwards.1 Freddie had been left with total disgust. Even more, Carly Shay had been irting with a great variety of guys right in front of Fredward Bensons eyes, just in order to annoy him and make fun of his absurd jealousy. Freddie had probably deserved that treatment, at least on and off. But Carly may have gone boldly ourt of her way. The rst example had been one Ben Huebscher.2 .
1 cf. 2 mentioned
Carly had kissed him just in order to be able to tell Freddie about her rst kiss, making him sickeningly jealous. Or had Carly just made up the kiss in order to annoy Freddie? She did not really remember that detail. It would not have made a real difference. Then there was tall blond rake Jake Crendle3 . As opposed to common belief, Carly had never liked him. She had just used him in order to pinish Freddie for his obnoxiously obsessive habit of hitting on her. She was disappointed when seeing Jake make up with his former girlfriend, but not for jealousy. She had just lost her only tool to tortuyre Fredward with. Later, there was Grifn Benjamin4 , a really bad boy. Carly had not only used him in order to make fun of Freddie, but also in order to make fun of her responsible elder brother, Spencer. But then the bad boy had turned out as just childish. He had been reveiled himself as a collector of peeweee babies, rendering himself useless as Carlys tool for punishing Fredward and Spencer. Now he was happily married to one Valerie5 , a totally disgusting girl hated by Carly and all other honest ones. Then there was Nate Garner6 , the Gary Stu of Ridgeway. But he turned out as already engaged to Mary-Sueish Rebecca Berkowitz7 . Many other boys followed, such as speedtalker Austin8 and brainless Cort9 . It would take years to talk about all those guys and a few not yet mentioned. Her only serious interest, Adam Moretti, had been brutally destroyed by Sam and a bunch of Creddiers. For several years, Carly Shay had forgotten about many of those events. But these hitting and running nightmares brought them all back in the most horrible manner. Megan was a witch. She was knowledgeable about a variety of spices and herbs. So, maybe some herbal medicine would have helped Carly without potentially damaging the baby? Megan thought about a few teas. But the ingredients did not grow in Washington, let alone Yakima Valley. Megan had to go and look for them. Also, as a gifted oboist, Megan was able to play lullabies for her cousin. But those only worked for a few hours. Megan would have had to repeat the ritual in the middle of the night. There had to be done something.

Nevel had nally got an idea. In Seattle, there was a paranormally gifted young woman named Malika Chandler13 . Nevel remebered a few of Malikas miraculous deed. The little medium was procient in telekinesis, telepathy, telesuggestion, telehypnosis, and stuff like that. Nevel thus saw a possibility of letting Malika provide Dustin and probably also Carly with some restful sleep. But he needed to nd and contact her rst. Likewise, Magic Malika was probably expecting a favour in return. What would that be?

Chapter 9 Similar
9.1 News From San Diego
The days out at Yakima were already very cool. The mountain tips already appeared in white. According to rumours spread by Zachariah Carter-Schwartz, there hadf also been a few snowakes down in the city. But the ground had been too warm to let them survive. Megan and Carly rerturned from the camous. There was a letter in Megans mail box. Carly grinned. From San Diego! Megan moaned. I hope not from the boobs. Boobs was a term deployed by Megan Parker in order to designate useless guys, in particular her brother Drake and her step-brother Josh. Carly sighed. So what? She didnt have a lot of troubles with them. But she hated admitting to being related to Drake for another reason. Drake had been a real celebrity, and especially a big jerk, player, and heartthrob of the girls, originally in southern California only, but now everywhere. For example, Samantha Pucket had been infatuated to no end by Drake Parker. She owned an inatable Drake doll and was had been doing unspeakable stuff to it since middle school. Josh, on the other hand, was a reckless dork and dweeb. But he was not as dumb as Drake. Alas, he had decided in favour of his step-brother Drake in a conict between the latter and Joshs anc Melinda Crenshaw. Now he was a forever grumpy loser. It was all Joshs comeuppance. Megan went pale upon reading the letter. Carly looked at her cousin. Whats going on? Megan moaned bitterly, Drake and Josh are coming for a visit over Thanksgiving.
Carly was surprised. She had expected Megan to return home to San Diego during that week. What was going on?
And the jerk of jerks would hardly have hesitated bathing in the mass of them. The kinship between Drake and Carly would have caused those troubles feared by Carly during all the years of being silent about Drake. Many girls were both fangirls of Drake Parker and fans of iCarly, be it Creddiers or Seddiers. They would have cause an insane amount of mayhem and turmoil on the campus. Drake was dumb and insensitive. He would not have been able to take any care of Carlys feelings during that days. Josh was more sensitive. But he was also very hysterical and easily estranged by unusual situation. He would hardly have approved of Carly separating from Freddie inspite of the baby. Even worse: Some Joshs best friends were Creddie shippers: Eric Blonowitz, Craig Ramirez, and Gavin Mitchell2 . They had been participating at a webicon with iCarly. Craig had been so obnoxious, he had to be removed by security guards. He was probably the greatest of all possible dangers for Carly in her current situation. Ultra-nerd Eric appeared more or less as a mere appendix to Craig. Gavin Mitchell was the oldest of the gang. And he was no other than the new anc of Auudrey Parker. He had been hitting on her since several years3 , and he was nally successful. Even worse, he was alos the uncle of Shannon Mitchell4 , a girl with a former onesided crush on Freddie Benson. He had also got a very smart nephiew named Logan Mitchell. But maybe Shannon had given up on Freddie long since and was now a dangerous Creddier or Seddier?
Dustin sobbed and started weeping. Would fessing up to his kisses with Sam have changed Carlys life ever since? Nevel panted heavily. He did not want to hurt Dustin this way. Now there was even more need for the intervention of Malika Chandler, the queen of hypnosis and of telekinesis and clairvoyance. Nevel whispered, Dustin, you must have had reasons for shutting up. And you could not know about the things to come. Bathing in his own tears, Dustin stammered, I did not want to go through the short an painful relationship with Sam again, not in fronto of millions. iCarly had not yet had that many viewers back then. But the fears had been there. Nevel nodded solemnly. No boy with a trace of honour would want to be found even dead in Samantha Pucketts arms. He shuddered for disgust. Dustin had got other reasons. I did not want to endanger the existence of the web show. And it was so sweet from Sam to do something for Freddie. Nevel, of course, did not share this. The premature end of iCarly would have been one of his sweetest dreams. But he knew about Dustins property as a staunch fan of the show. Thus he could not have been surprised. The show had comne to a natural end, anyways, three years after Freddies and Sams embarrassing online confession. Thus Nevel had no reason to be mad at Dustin for that. Would Carlys life have really taken another turn back then in the case of Dustin fessing up and dismantling Sams lie? Finally, Nevel received a message from Malika Chandler. The witch would come over during Thanksgiving Break and help both Dustin and Carly to nd some restful sleep. Nevel could hardly await that moment.
The sibling swap, viz. Carly and Dustin while also Zoey and Spencer, would have seemed awkward to excessively simpleminded people. But Zoey would not have had problems with that. She liked being in control of the extended family. Thanksgiving days were no longer far away. There was no way for Zoey to celebrate with her parents, still stuck in London. So what would she do?
Dustin would go to Seattle, but only over the very day of Thanksgiving, not the whole week. So he was still around for two more nights. And there was Malikas bus. Nevel panted heavily. According to rumours, Carly had not exactly been a friend of Malika, at least back at high school. Was there a reason for her to trust the queen of magics? Malika was an Arabian term for queen. Alas, some people erroneously related Malika to the word malicious, such as Samantha Puckett. A gentle wind was now blowing. Snowakes kept on dancing. But there was not much more new snow. Nevel shook hands with Malika. He told her to sit down on the back of his tandem bicycle. Malika shuddered a bit. They had to hope for getting away with that.
It was their rst time of driving a car on a road covered partly with snow. Josh accused Drake of having demonstrated a totally careless driving style. Everyone knows: You must be very careful drivving on snow! Drake did not really care. Grandpa Shay rebuked Drake severely. Carly huggled Drake, but more carefully than usual, for the obvious reason. Drake took his guitar from his car. Josh moaned, fortunately, Ive got the convertible roof repaired last week. Drake did not want to believe in the possibility of snow in the mountains up here. Grandpa Shay sighed. He would have preferred Josh as a grandson. Unfortunately, Josh was not blood related. And now Audrey Parker, born Audrey Shay, had trashed useless Walter Nichols. The latter had foretold dry weather along the whole Pacic coast for the whole week untik Thabnksgiving, He was such a poor excuse of a weather forecaster. Bruce Windchill was the way better option to believe. But now it was too late. Audrey was again on the prowl. But she wanted to be left alone over the holidays. Grandpa Shay was very sad about this. But he had to accept it. Drake was lucky to be able to make it to Yakima over Thanksgiving. As a rock star of nowadays global renown, he was urged to make tours everywhere. And his next professional trip was to goold old England. Grandpa Shay remarked, one of my future interns has got parents in London. Drake gasped. A hot girl? Grandpa Shay was way too old to talk about this. Josh poked Drake deftily, making him choke. To Carly, Drakes talk about potential girlfriends was even more painful. Drake had always been a ruthless player, trashing girls after two years or so. He had probably already got some of his former girlfriends pregnant. And those poor things had not had the guts to talk about this. Usually, Carly would not have thought much about Drakes badness. But since the perverse mistake with Fredward Benson, she was turning more and more sensitive. Finally, Megan arrived. She was followed by no other than Magic Malika. The queen of magics walked in and shook hands with Carly. Megan announced, for unbeknownst reasons, Carly has been a bit off course during the last weeks. Grandpa Shay sighed. Inspite of not knowiung the reason, he had noticed a bit of Carlys fairly strange demeanour.
Carly trembled. She had not yet had much reason to trust Malika. Megan announced, Malika Chandler is an expert for hypnosis. She will teach Carly to mesmerise herself. Carly sighed for relief. Malika was just going to instruct Carly. It was still all left in Carlys hands. Carly smiled. OK! She panted heavily.
Dustin panted. Then he tried again. A few minutes later, his eyelids dropped down like a guillotines blade. Dustin was no longer awake. Nevel sighed for relief. He covered Dustin with a blanket. The hopes had come true. The same would probably work for Carly. Nevel, on the other hand, had to hope for getting to see Megan on and off during the next days. It was not a given. Megan would have to sneak out or invent excuses. She was still unable to talk about Nevel to her relatives.
Chapter 11 Thanksgiving
11.1 Dustin and Zoey
Unlike in Yakima, rain kept whipping the windows of most towns of coastal Washington. Zoey was glad to be able to spend her Thanksgiving day with Dustin. The apartment would have been totally empty without Nicole. Quinn was almost always in her secret laboratory in the basement. She was also appointed with a fellow geek woman named Melinda Crenshaw. Zoey had never seen her. Or so she believed. She pondered about Quinns potential reasons for making us avoid each other. Due to her obsession with caring for Dustin, Zoey had grown up really fast. But now she appearwed to be responsible for almost everyone, including some guy older than herself by ten years. Dustin helped his sister preparing the Thanksgiving meals. A few days off classes meant, at least for Zoey Brooks, time to think again about the last weeks. Dustin noticed that. But his mind was also horribly occupied by Carlys situation. Whats wrong with Nicole? Zoey wondered, theres something wrong with her? How would you know? Dustin replied, you keep on thinking about the word Nicole. Zoey shuddered. How could Dustin have known that? She admitted, OK, Nicole is dating Spencer Shay, not this week, though. Dustin choked. Apparently not this week. Zoey sat down. Finally, she admitted, Spencer should really better care about pregnant Carly instead of making out with that bimbo. Dustin gasped. You know that Carly is . . . Zoey wondered, You know it?
They glared at each other. Zoey huggled Dustin. So, you are still into Carly? And she doesnt know? Dustin nodded sadly. Zoey rubbed softly Dustins head with her ngers. So, you are sincerely ready for a girl with someone elses baby? Dustin moaned, not any girl. Its Carly! Zoey nodded slowly. Dustin told Zoey about Magic Malika and her trick of hypnosis. It works very well! I may nally sleep whole nights through. They were wondering about Spencers Thanksgiving day.
Josh had on and off tried to perform some dilettantic illusionist magics. But he had failed miserably. Now he wanted to learn malikas secrets. Of course, Megan knew about the imopossibility of this. Boobs cant do that, minds you! Josh glared in a very disapproving manner at his step sister. In any case, he had been keeping about the possibility of Malikas trick. He had also started talking about it. Drake was annoyed by Joshs incessant talk. But now the three of them were still lying on the icy ground. Grandpa Shay shook his head. Boys! This was not possiuble in my generation. I can still do this . . . He crossed the ground safely, walking on two hands. Then he dragged the guys into the mansion, one by one.
Zach wished to have been able to think this way at some earlier stage, best back at middle school. Now he was up to reecting all those stupid years ago. He could have slapped himself bleeding, over and over again, for having fallen for the wrong type of girl back at middle school. Nevel remarked, its not too late for you to nd someone really worthy of yourself. Zachariah Carter Schwartz nodded sadly. Too true, but who could that be? Nevel whistled inn ocently. You know one of those girls for quite a few years already. Zach looked puzzled. He pondered forth and back. Nevel gave him one further hint. She wears part of your family name. The Ras Tafari choked. He thought is Nevel talking about . . . is that even possible . . . I have never ever seen that . . . Nevel poked Zach lightly. Do you need some more hint? Zach cringed. The thought appeared too shocking and mindstabbing. Zach broke down. You are really talking Leann, arent you? Nevel grinned triumphantly. Dern straight, Zach! Zach had still got a hard time swallowing it. He had always considered Leann as a relative. But, for all ends and purposes, they were not related. Nevel held one of Zachs wrists. Leann has been waiting for you for several years already. Unlike Geena, she has always genuinely cared about you. Geena is a shallow wench. Leann shares your interests for ecology and pacism wholeheartedly. And you know that very well. Zach twitched all over the place. He had not yet had to admit to liking his step sister. This does rarely ever happen, anyways. Nevel suggested, call her! Zach sighed. Nevel walked away. So, have a nice day! Zach remained alone in the lounge. There were other kids. But they did not care about thoroughly shaken Zachariah Carter Schwartz.
The others shrugged. Drake knew about Megan having a boyfriend from her orchestra. But he had not yet gured any details. Grandpa Shay distributed the meals. Carly could not eat everything in her situation. Megan managed to let her only eat things good for the baby, without letting the guys notice anything. Especially Josh might have noticed. Drake would hardly have cared. Grandpa Shay had been very rough to Spencer. He had reected a lot about the situation of Spencer. He had decided to give the internship to both Spencer and Zoey. He had not talked about it. But he was all in favour of Zoey as his future grandaughter in law, an dnot the bimbo wench currently dated by Spencer.
Thereafter, Creddiers and Seddiers needed to be beguiled to some extent in order to make life easier for Carly. They had to hurry up. Carlys tummy was no longer all that far away from bulging visibly. By then, the horrors of the fanwar would have to be gone or oppressed vigorously. The latter was hard to achieve. Megan could not hire an army of security guards for Carly able to smother fan riots with all brutal might.
Her sidekick Nicole had been unbearable and struck fear into Drakes heart with her obnoxious boycraziness and bimbo demeanour. Drake was not yet aware of Zoeys current life and whereabouts. Granted, Zoey Brooks had been mentioned on and off by Spencer during Thanksgiving week. But Drake had not been convinced of the identity of both girls. Alias, with the passage of the days, he could not avoid considering that possibility. Spencer had mentioned girls named Nicole and Zoey in one breath. This combination was not a daily one, neither here in the state of Washington nor back in good old California. Drake had got to investigate. Josh, still stuck in his eager search for Magic Malika and the secret of her tricks, tried to calm him down. Zoey was only one girl of many. All of your girlfriends had been. And Zoey was not even that, just a wayside acquaintance. Drake objected, but she was hot! Josh remarked, so was Lucy Nash2 , Christine Richardson3 , Carly Brimmer4 , and so on. And what did it give you? Two weeks at most. Drake shrugged. Who cares? He was still a terrible player and dandy. Josh had to give up. Unfortunately, not all of his ex-girlfriends had yet forgiven Drakes permanently jerkish demeanour. How would Drake Parker proceed? Carly was still keeping her kinship to Drake a secret. Thus they had to be very careful. But the mood on the campus was already totally crazy.
Nicole was busy in Seattle, at least most of the time. This would possibly keep her from going to Yakima for the concert. She needed especially to convince her boss, old Mr. Gibson. The sucker was already almost blind. But he could still notice her absence otherwise. And he was hardly going top forgive her deed. He was at least still able to cut other peoples hair, just relying on his other senses. And the customers would complain. Maybe an invention by Quinn Pensky would be somewhat helpful?
Leann sighed. She loves Nevel, period. Of course it has to do with their music and stuff. Megan plays the oboe, and Nevel plays the recorder and the piano, and so on . . . Carly was still puzzled. She would have freaked out to death in the case of most othe rpossible messangers. But Leann Carters presence had got something soothing. Carly lay down on her bed. She started reciting Malikas poems. She needed them in order to keep herself calm. Leann had to go again. Megan would arrive any moment. And Carly better stayed relaxed. It would not be easy for her to face Megan, after all those devastating news.
in iCarly : iWant To Stay With Spencer Drake & Josh : Parker Nichols Inn
Joshuah twitched. He would have considered going to law school, too. But after his disappointiung student teaching assignment3 , he had got a hard time applying for decent schools. Drake boasted with the number of girls phone numbers. Spencer shook his head. You will leave Olympia in just a few hours. You will barely have got enough time to call all of them. Drake shrugged. Their bad. Anyways, Ive practised this. I can talk to half a dozen of babes over cellular phone at the same time. Josh twitched. You havent got that many cellular phones with you. Drke shrugged. So what? I just need to borrow some. Hey! Youve sure got one on you! Spencer nodded solemnly. Of course. It is here . . . no, it is there . . . He fumbled all of his pockets over and over again. But this was gor no avail. Spencers cellular phone could not be found. Spencer sighed deeply. Wait, I know! Ive lost it last night during a candle light dinner with Nicole. Shes really . . . Drake knew Nicole Bristow a little bit. He had been really somersaulted by her bubbly demeanour. Forgetting your cellular phone in such a moment was not quite inconsequential. Zoey Brooks came along. Hi, Spencer, Ive copied the lectures about Introduction To Civil Law for you. You had skipped them . . . again. Spencer replied, what? I never skip classes, except once . . . twice . . . He was counting silently with his ngers. But he had only got ten of them. Josh twitched. Grandpa wont really approve of you skipping classes. Spencer sighed. I know! Drake had been consternated. He had not got any problem recognising Zoey Brooks on site. Like everyone, Zoey Brooks may have changed supercially during the last decade. But for Drake, that was not a problem. The playboy of Belleview may have got the intellectual capacity of an amoeba. But there were two things he could not forget: Rock music tunes and pretty girls faces. Even after decades he would still be able to tell girls apart only encountered during his tween times. Zoey recognised Drake, too, but only because of his omnipresence in the mass media. This was part and parcel of being a big media star, especially a rock idol. And now nothing could stop Drake. Hey, Zoey babe! We could go out some time soon. Call me! Or give me your number. Then I may call you back. Zoey was disgusted. Drake Parker! You are really such a perverted jerk! I regret having called you for a caoncert to Pacic Coast Academy, back then . . . She would hardly ever have been that brash. But she had by now only got eyes for Spencer and was thus inclined to rebutt other boys all angrily.
3 cf.
This was not too hard to understand for anyone knowing about Zoeys secret feelings. But . . . the feelings were still mostly secret. Drake gasped. He was not accustomed to getting turned down that fast. Drake poked Drake. I told you! Be more careful! He tried to excuse Drakes perverse demeanour. Zoey sighed. Spencer thanked Zoey for the copies of her lecture notes. Without Zoeys help, he would already have failed miserably in the mid term tests. And Olympia Law School had only accepted him on probation, taking his past into account. Grandpa Shay would hardly have survived this. He had got no understanding for Spencers repeated insane escapades. He had tried hard for many years to talk some sense into his stray grandson. Getting him back to law school had been connected with unearthly efforts. A fatal heart attack would have been the inevitabole consequence of seeinf Spencer fail by such a landslide. Zoey panted. OK, Spencer, I have found this in Nicoles pocktes. She held aloft a cellular phones. You have got a Smart BoysenBerry Phone, right? Spencer gasped. Thanks! Zoey sighed deeply. OK, I go to the library in order to prepare my presentation. You better prepare yours, as well, lest . . . She felt totally exhausted from reminding Spencer of his duties. Then she waed and walked away. Josh understood, Spencer, you would be really lost without Zoey Brooks. Spencer shrugged. I know! So what? He sighed and sobbed. Drake wanted to grab Spencers phone right away. But the latter needed it in oreder to call his organiser. Josh kept on muttering about Malikas tricks. What is it? It kills me not to know and understand magic tricks. Oh, do you understand the connection between our families and the name of Hotel Parker Nichols? Spencer scratched his head. There was something somewhere somehow sometimes . . .
13.2 Making Up
Carly Shay had got a hard time understanding Megan and Nevel. She must have thought, Nevel must have used Megan just in order to punish me, with us looking alike or stuff. But she was thoroughly mistaken. Megan needed to explain for hours why she loved Necel, and vice versa. Most of it was related to their common taste for music and their endeavour as orchestral musicians. Carly had usually got a hard time understanding teenagers being interested in operas and symphonies rather than pop rock. But Megans arguments made sense to her. Carly had hardly ever found anyone sharing her proper interests. She hated Samanthas obsession with ham and chicken wings, and Fredwards obsession with sandpaper.
The closes ever to this had been Adam Moretti. And she had messed it up badly. Rather, it had been Samanthas and Fredwards fault. But this detail did not help her. By now it was much too late. Carly moaned desperately, why have you got all the luck? No boy has ever got that much understanding for me as Nevel has got for you. She almost exploded for excruciating envy. Megan had to think about Dustin Brooks. Im sure there are some. In fact . . . She did noyt really care to continue talking. Carly looked at her cousin with determination. You are keeping something back. What is it> Megan whistled innocently. She could have talked right away about Dustin. But the latters former relationship with Samantha Puckett would have been too hard to digest for Carly right now. Megan suggested Carly to take a nap. Your shining prince will probably soon cross your way. Carly started mesmerising herself i order to relax. Megan picked up her cellular phone. She was now going to prepare for her rst date with Nevel ofcial recognised by her cousin Carly. This understanding meant such a lot to both of them. Soon enough, Carly would be able to face Nevel, in Megans presence, and not be tempted to smear all sorts of sauces into his face.
Nevel tapped Mehgans shoulders. She nodded. It was now time for some music. Nevel picked up his recorder. Nevel unwrapped her oboe. Music lled the air. Dustin started almost automagically to sing.
Celeste Carlita, forma divina, Mistico serto di luce e or, Del mio pensiero tu sei regina, Tu di mia vita sei lo splendor. Il tuo bel cielo vorrei ridarti, Le dolci brezze del patrio suol Un regal serto sul crin posarti, Ergerti un trono vicino al sol.1 During the performance, Dustin blushed deeper and deeper. Carly blushed, too. She purred and started melting away like the snows of Yakima in a gentle breeze of the chinook wind. Megan grinned mischievously. Carly could nopt help putting her hands at the back of Dustins head and pull him tenderly closer into some careful kiss. Nevel and Megan had to watch in awe. Their music had worked its wonders again. Strangely, Dustin had never learned or practised that song. He had only listened, by chance, to Nevel performing it. It was Nevels and Megans song, for sure. OK, but this was the easier part, Hiding and defending all this young love from the infuriated mob of Creddiers would be a whole lot harder. For Carly and Dustin, this meant the impossibility of showing up in the public side by side. This would not be easy for the fresh love birds.

based on Celeste Aida from the grand opera Aida by Giuseppe Verdi Heanly Carly, godly shape, mystic garland of light and owers, youre the queen of my thought, youre the brilliance of my life. I would like to render unto you your beautiful heaven, your homelands gentle breezes, place upon your head a Queens garland, raise up a throne for you next to the sun.
Once more, Megan hoped for Leann Carters ability to soothe the masses. Eben getting Carly and Dustin out of the inn and back to Grandpa Shay and the camous of Yakima College was a task requiring quite some careful planning.
Zoey feared Nicole and Spencer to be just on the brink of getting Nicole pregnant. Neither of them was emotionally ready for this. And they were certainly too careless for contraception stuff. Zoey was not acting for jealousy. She just had to remember Lolas pregnancy. And she needed to consider Carlys. Nicoles would be emotional suicide for the eternal bimbo princess. The tide was high. Zoey had to do something about Spencer and Nicole. In this moment, Zoey received the message about Dustins and Carlys successful date. Zoey was glad for him, but she could not stop worrying about everything else. Why did always Zoey Brooks have to x everything for everyone? That was not exactly fair. But it was certainly Zoey Brooks.
They had been totally nervous back then. It had been in the town of Carlsbad in San Diego county, thus not too far away from Megans homelands. Carlsbad was traditionally known as a resort centre or spa. They had thus performed for guests of the resort. Sometimes, really prominent people had made it there. This had been the case during Megans and Nevels rst common concert. But, back then, they had ggot a whole orchestra at their disposal, conducted by one Mr. Combover2 , better known as a teacher for music at James K. Polk School in Santa Clarita, a city located in the county of Los Angeles. Megan and Nevel still remembered their programme of that evening, and some of the disturbances. Tonight, they were all responsible on their own, out here in this cold place named Yakima Valley. Out Of Yakima Inn hosted in particular guests of the skiing season. The winter season was still in its beginnings. But there had already been quite a few guests. After a har day up in the mountain, they wanted to relax in their inn. For that reason, Nevel and Megan had to refrain from burdening them with their deepest opera arias. Megan was a total fan of Giuseppe Verdi. Little wonder, Celeste Aida had been her tune of choice for the rst date of Carly and Dustin. There was a new funicular station nearby. It would open for its rst winter in a few days. Various guests were looking forward to it. Thus Megan and Nevel had decided in favour of performing Denzas Funicul, Finicul, a tune pwritten for the opening of nowadays destroyed funicular railway from Naples up the Vesuvius, an active vulcano. The gusts were awaiting with incresing suspense. Nevel petted the keys of his piano. Megan made her oboe blow a tender tune. Nevel also sang along.

The audience broke into incessant applause. Megan bowed deeply. Nevel grinned and waved around. The song was only a work from mid nintheenth century. But it stood in teh tradition of the Napolitan canzonettas. Those were concerned with problems unresolved onesided crushes. Fortunately, in the case of Dustin, this problem had just started to resolve, down to the intervention of Megan and Nevel. Unfortunately, this had not been the case for all of their relatives. This included now especially Zoey Brooks.

Last knight, oh Nanny, I climbed up to there, you know where? Where this ungrateful heart may no longer charm me., where the re is boiling, but it wont hunt you down and destroy you as long as you just look and run away in time.

But it had demonstrated unto Dustin the ckleness of Samantha Puckett. Dustin Brooks had not come to forgive her that perverted move. Carly Shay concluded, Sam has not changed for a diimes worth. Shes still that disgusting wench. I have always wondered why do I still invite her all the time. But I have been too weak. And this is the price. Dustin sighed sadly. Carly also addressed the session of her web show mentioning Sams rst kiss. Dustin had seen that session. But he had refrained from exposing Sam as a liar. Carly wanted to know why. Dustin answered in about the same way as he had alreadsy tried to answer to Nevels corresponding question. Carly understood him. Yeah, I know how you have been feeling. That sucks. Sams lie was now already about ve years old. What a sad anniversary! Just some bad things went on and on. Would Dustin and Carly nd out of the misery?
Dustin choked. Thats mean . . . but, hey! it would happen sooner or later, anyways. Of course it would be nearly impossible for Nicole to forsake all other cute boys for Spencer for the rest of her young life. Nevel and Dustin would just have had to speed it up to some degree. They had to look for a certain sort of boy: cute and brainless. Dustin new several of them: Nicholas Webber3 and Lafe Berkowitz at least. Lafe has certainly no brain. He thinks of mustard as the most important thing for a eld trip into the desert. He doesnt watch his way. Lafe isnt a real name. He understands it as a blend of life and hope. But that would be Lofe or Lope, wouldnt it? And on and on and on it goes. Nevel grinned for excruciating mischief. That sounds so perfect for your Nicole Bristow. Dustin nodded vigorously.
childhood accident, viz. the results of Samantha Pucketts onslaught upon her life at the occasion of a former pageant in downtown Seattle. Leann admitted, there have been some chroonic competences, but we need to keep them secret. The fans of Carlys web show wont like to hear about them. But, of course, she could tell her step brother and loverboy Zach about it. My pelvis had been deformed badly, I cant give birth to children the natural way any longer, for example. Zachs jaw dropped. He would love Leann no more or no less, with or without own children. But he had to think about the impending birth of the baby of Carly Shay. He hoped her to be safe from any of those disgusting troubles always seen in movies about child birth. There were other complications concerning Leanns nervous system and her skeleton. Leann had nevertheless refrained stubbornly from getting Sam sued for the excruciatingly malevolent onslaught. Zach took his Leann tenderly into his arms, comforting her to no end. So, what to do about the stupid fan war? Leann sighed. I have tried to talk to representants from either side, for no avail. Zach nodded sadly. Leann Carter suggested, those pernicious fans can only be tamed by a psychopathic one. Both Creddiers and Seddiers deem psycho fans uncontrollable. Zach wondered, do you know any psycho fans of the show? Leann nodded. Only two of them by heart . . . there is Norah Dershlit5 , and theres Amanda Valdez6 . Of course, they rst needed to nd either of them. That was not exactly going to be a totally trivial pursuit.
iCarly : iPsycho iCarly : iAm Your Biggest Fan 7 Accoreding to Zoey 101 : Spring Break-Up, Quinns uncle is a lawyer. 8 This is great aunt Kathrin, mentioned in Drake & Josh : The Wedding.
The old lady had invested quite a few gazillions into the business. There had never been any love between Walter Nichols and Audrey Parker. But the business arrangement was the only way for Audrey to keep the luxury mansion in San Diego Belleview and to inherit Kathrins beach mansion upon her death. Currently, the old lady was on a cruise with her fth husband to Samoa and Hawaii. Drake and Josh were exorbitantly shocked by these news. But there was one big comfort in the whole thing: The divorce of Audrey and Walter appeared now under a completely different perspective. And Drake and Josh could now comfort each other over the foolish situation, inspite of not being step brothers for much longer.
According to rumours, his fear of Nicole Bristows ruthless bubbly demeanour had been the very reason. Mandy was already there. Nevel and Megan arrived. The greatest fan grinned. She noticed of course the similarity between Carly and Megan, but she was, nevertheless, very well able to tell the two almost alike-looking cousins apart without sweat. Nevel grinned. Hi Mandy! Amanda Valdez gruntesd for exorbitant disgust at Nevel. Mandy sighed, listen, it is not about the show, it is about Carly! The little bugger looked dumbfounded. Nevel needed to tell her about the situation. Mandy squealed, carly is pregnant? She woould have repeated it over and over again. But she was impeded from doing so by Megan. Shut down! Unfortunately, some of the visitors, fans of iCarly, had heard this. Nevel panted heavily. Just rumours, he yelled at the kids. He could now only hope the message to spread as slow as can be to the web shows perverted fans living in Yakima. But he sure could bang his head against the wall. His denial would not really get them to shut up for good. Megan told Mandy to be careful. OK, you should show up in Yakima and entertain Carlys fans until the birth of the baby. You will be crown the Queen of Icarly Fans. Mandy beamed proudly. She was always convinced. But she had got one condition. Carlys baby will have to be named for me! Megan choked. She could not promise that on Carlys behalf.
Gloria a Yakima Ai tifosi di iCarly Alla regina che regge Inni festosi aliziam Gloria A Mandy Valdez!2 The evil fans growled for excrutiating consternation. How could Carly do such a thing unto us? But Nevel and Megan showed no mercy. Leann placed the crown, worked from intertwined twigs and owers, onto Mandys head.
Sintrecci il loto al lauro Sul crin dei voncitori! Nembo gentil dei ori

Hail Yakima! Hail teh fans of iCarly! Hail the ruling queen! Lets raise solemn hymns! Hail Mandy Valdez!
Stenda sull armi un vel! Danziam, fanciulle d Yakima, Le mistiche carole, Come dintorno al sole Danzano gli astri in ciel!3 The evil fans were now tired. They had been totally upset by this ceremony and swore to never care about Carly and her show ever again. Leanne muttered, Not a big loss, really!
17.4 Engaged
Carly and Dustin had now lost their fear of the fans. Carly was glad to have gotten rid of those, anyways. Nothing could stop her now. She panted heavily. OK. Dustin, I know, we should have rings or something . . . She was very much excited. She had been anticipating the moment. But she hads never believed in getting ridof her perverted fans all that easily. But would you marry me anyways? Best before the baby is born. Dustin smiled. Of course! I would like to doi that over Christmas break. There were only ten days left until Christmas Eve. Carly smiled cheerfully and threw her arms around Dustin. They had to be careful to avoid squeezing the baby.
Intertwine lotus and laurel, making a winners crown! Let a gentle cloud of owers tend a veil from the weapons! Lets dance, girls of Yakima, the mystic carols, just like stars dancing around the sun.
ex-
Spencer told him about his misery. Josh grunted, you know you should have chosen the blond one. Spencer gasped. Zoey Brooks? Josh nodded solemnly. Who has always tried to keep you from sinking deeper into the quagmire, since teh start of law school? Spencer pondered, Zoey? That had been true. Spencer could not deny it at all. And Zoey was even caring about Carly. Nicole had only distracted him from law school and from his sisters problems. Josh did not even know about those. But he was obn the right track. Spencer promised to consider Joshs advice seriously.
Vince had not wasted much time and eloped with Shelby Marx2 , the little and alike-looking sister of Lola. Lola had stumbled from the frying pan into the kettle of boiling water by moving in with Lafe Berkowitz. Honestly said, she had never really givin up on him, not even during her engagement with Vincent Blake. A few weeks later, Lola had turned p[regnant. And Lafe had not cared in the dimmest manner about those circumstances. Lola had ultimately lost her baby in an involuntary abortion caused by stress and panic. Quinn had made a similarly bad experience at her rst own wedding. She was close to marrying Logan Reese, the richest heir of California. But he had never loved her. He had always deemed her a spaz and other perversely insulting stuff. Everyone with a bit of brain had seen that coming. The day before their wedding, Quinn had made remarks about her impending inventions. Logan had shouted at her. He had never approved of her exorbitant nerdicity. The marriage would with absolute certainty have been nothing but one exorbitantly abominent horror trip. Logan Reese was still playing around with girls, in agreement with his true nature as a ruthless dandy of the most deprecable sort. Zoey had been the maid of honour at both wedding ceremonies. And those had gone awfuly awry. Zoey had thence got serious doubts concerning herself. Having to hear the brides no! was not exactly the dream of a bridal maiden, let alone a maid of honour. And Zoey Brooks had already gone through this twice in her life time. The third bridal maid was not really a friend of either Carly or Zoey. She was precisely aforementioned Mandy Valdez, the saviour of the relationship between Carly and Dustin, the queen of the fans of Carlys former web show. It woould have been very hard to turn her down as a maid. She would have appeared at the wedding, anyways, if not through the main entrance, then certainly through the back door. Carly had thus preferred to do this in a controlled manner. Of course there was also a need for groomsmen. Spencer had chosen Drake and Josh in this position. Both of them had participated in various weddings, such as one of Drakes arememntioned grand aunt, and they had alway messed up the whole crap. They had been too late and lost the wedding cake on their way, for example. Was this really a wise choice? The boobs had hardly learned anything decent ever since. At least they had never been grooms at a wedding, failed or not.
2 from
Drake was famous for trashing girls after no more than a month. Josh messed it up even faster, except in the case of Mindy. He had scared her ultimately away after two years or so for hanging out too much with Drake instead of looking for decent friends. As a third groomsman, Dustin had chosen his room pal from high school times, Scooter alias Robert Carmichael3 . Just as in the case of Mandy, this was not really a choice. Robbie had always wanted to see his Dustin at his new school. Interestingly, he originally lived in a treehouse near the rewsidence odf the Parkers and the Nichols clan in San Diego Belleview. He had once messed up a talent show with Dustin. He walked and talked like a duck. Thus Zoeys brother was not left with a lot of condence. But he could not be rude enough to turn him down. Carlys father was still stuck in a yellow submarine4 . Thus he was forced to miss out on his daughters wedding. Grandpa Shay was about guiding his grandaughter down the aisle. Likewise, the parents of Dustin and Zoey were still in London. It was impossible for them, just as for many others, to arrange everything within the few days between the announce and the very wedding ceremony itself. Zoeu was thus ready to get guided bu her uncle Jeff Glazer Brooks5 , a medic living in San Diego. Father Maccurdy6 , the absolutely fattest priest of the world, was rigged and ready for conducting the ceremony. Nevel Papperman was already warming up his nger tips for playing the Bridal Chorus from Richard Wagners grand opera Lohengrin. Megan Parker ne tuned her oboe for accompaning her loverboy. Zoey and Quinn were not really at ease with Megan. The latter had been for one day at Pacic Coast Academy, using the fake name Paige Howard,7 . She had pretended to be the winner of the national science fair. But she had only been a spokesperson for Mindy Crenshaw, the real scientic genius. Mindy Crenshaw had used Megan in order to get back at Zoey Brooks. Two years earlier, Mindy had been for a trial time at Pacic Coast Academy.8 But she had plagiarised Zoeys backpack design and sold those backpacks, got caught, and was expelled again. Megan was sorry for that. She had not really known about the circumstances of Mindys hostility towards Zoey. She had just thought of it as a friendly prank among old friends. The rst notes lled the air.

Glazer Brooks started leading his niece Zoey. Likewise, grandpa Shay was very careful when walking his grandaughter down the aisle. The lovely sound of Megans oboe smothered the air of Yakima.
Champion victorious Go thou before Maid bright and glorious Go thou before
Zoeys heart was beating like a steam engine. Carly felt herself turning heavy and her legs and knees feeling weak.
Mirths noisy revel Yeve forsaken, Tender delights For you now awaken; Fragrant abode Enshrine ye in bliss; Splendor and state In joy ye dismiss!
Father McCurdy started asking the usual questions. But he was really just thinking about the upcoming wedding buffet. Zoey Brooks was the rst to be inquired. Her heart beat faster and faster. Lola held her writs tightly, feeling the heart beat. Zoey answered, I will! The masses cheered.
Spencer was the next one to be tortured. But of course! Thats why we are here, are we? Carly whispered, just say I will!. Spencer sighed. I will! Zoey had already been worried. McCurdy delared Spencer and Zoey as husband and wife. Carly panted heavily. It was now her own turn. She had becvome very nervous by Spencers little incident. She muttered permanently, Iwill . . . Mandy was even more excited. She could not keep her mouth shut. But nally, Carly had gathered her last forces. I will! McCurdy was now only separated by Dustins answer from the walk to the buffet prepared by Kazu, former owner of a sushi bar on the campus of Pacic Coast Academy. Dustin really shouted it out. I will! McCurdy declared them married as well. Some long trip in the likeness of Ulysses had come to an end. The honeymoon trip was now awaiting them.
Chapter 19 Honeymoon
19.1 Aftermath Of Wedding
Carlys garter had been caught by Robbie Carmichel. The bouquet had been grabbed by Mandy Valdez. The two of them had thereupon performed the duck dance together. Carly and Dustin, Zoey and Spencer did not really care about that. They were already looking foreard to their honemoon trip. Father McCurdy emptied the wedding buffet really fast.
Drake hesistated. Then he stammered. Er, sure! Quinn concluded, so, thats the perfect experience needed for a fuure hotel manager! Josh twitched nervously. Drake smiled. By tghe way, when on tour in Los Angeles, I have sometimes stayed in a hotel named Palmwood. Lola smiled. A cool hotel! Many of my fellow actresses live tehre. Quinn nodded vigorously. My cousin Camille is a permanent guest at Palmwood. And she totally enjoys it. Drake continued, they have got a cool custodian, Buddha Bob, a former custodian at some school in Sanat Clarita.1 Quinn grinned. OK! She added Buddha Bob to the wish list of employees. Megan asked, is there also an arcade in our spa centre? Josh nodded. Megan remarked, OK, then Quincy2 , a cousin of Spencer from the other side of the family, should run it. Drake and Josh gasped. How could we forget about him? Megan continued, likewise, our cousin Timothy Turner3 is an expert for wishes. He may sure take care of special wishes of the guests. Josh did not know about Timmy. But Drake agreed wholeheartedly. Timmy looked a lot like Drake, but he was like three years older and a lot more childish. Drake would work as a doorman. Megan would have to return to college after Christmas break. But during the longer breaks, she would do the accounting tasks.

Quinn had to see that, too. Sudeny, a torrent of cold water hit the curious lasses from above. Lola gasped. The weather reporter has foretold dry weather. Quinn growled. Hey! dont listen to Walter Nichols! Lola shook her head. It was Bruce Windchill! Some oboe jingle was heard from above, followed by some taunting cackling sound. Quinn and Lola were now forced to wir=thdraw from their dirty business and get their clothes changed. It was not as cold as in Yakima. But a cool breeze could have effected some severe inict for people with all wet clothes.
Chapter 20 Finale
20.1 Armand Spencer Brooks
Spring was seizing Yakima. The snow and ice became less and less. The mountain tips remained still all white. Now it was time for the birth of Spencer Armand Brooks, the son of Carly Shay-Brooks. Inspite of all the troubles experienced during the rst part of her pregnancy, Dustin was excited over the top. Zoey had got a hard time calming him down. But after that, everything turned out alright. Carly and Dustin would take yearly turns on caring for the little bugger. Spencer and Zoey would help out on occasions as well. Upon completing their college time, both Dustin and Carly would work as elementary school teachers at Silver Spring in Los Angeles.
But things had changed. Helen Baxter, former owner of the whole thing, had retired from that theatre in order to move in with her new husband Malcolm Reese. She was now running the biggest cinema in Hollywood. Having nished his therapy with Mr. Lowe, Crazy Steve and his wife Norah Dershlit had been put in charge with Premire Theater. And they had turned it swiftly into an all-purpose stage centre.
