I've been working on this...

The gray had included so many things to which none of the people had known about, but in the light there was something totally different...water. The gray, for quite some time had loved the beauties and the depth of water until they discovered the dangers of the liquid in many forms...tsunami's, drowning, death from consuming more than you can in one day. I know they may sound silly, but if I told you there was a rule on Earth that no water was to be consumed, or that water was a ban. You would look me in the eye and then just laugh right there. This is the truth about a world filled with gray...ps there is no water either.

More coming soon...

iCarly presents: iGoodbye

Freddie's POV

Chapter 1

It was a Saturday morning. It would be just another normal Saturday morning for most people. But it wasn't for me.
Today was the day I was going to ask Sam to be my girlfriend again.
I love her so much, and with the last webcast of iCarly tonight, I wanted to make this special. I think we've both tried so hard to be more normal and more abnormal.
Sam tried a lot harder though. But that was just Sam. When she wanted something, she got it, no matter what the consequences were. I guess she wanted me a lot. She got a job, beat up a bully for being mean to a nerd, and she just seemed nicer to people.
All I've done is be mean. I thought that since Sam was abnormal, I should act like her…. I was wrong. Now I'm pretty sure a lot of people hate me for being such a bad person. I mean, I yelled at Sam in the Pear Store in front of all those people. That was pretty low. And knowing that Sam quit after I got fired, it made me feel better knowing she, dare I say, cares for me. Wow. Sam cares for me. That's a lot to take in.
She just walked into Carly's apartment. I'm just staring at the computer, browsing the iCarly website. I know it's her because I hear her boots. Oh how I hate those boots. She may feel more intimidating if she was taller, but I think it's cute how she's so short.
She walks up behind me and thumps my head.
"Hey Benson" she says.
"Puckett" I reply back.
Then, surprise surprise, she goes to the fridge. My money is on bacon, but it could also be ham or a frozen pizza.
"Want some bacon?" she asks.
"I knew it!" I say out loud, which wasn't supposed to happen.
"You knew what?" she asks, confused at my sudden outburst.
"That you'd pick bacon." I say calmly.
"Oh… you know me too well, Benson." She says as she walks to the table with the bacon.
I think about what she said. I do know her too well. I know pretty much everything about her. I know that her favorite color is brown because it's the color of bacon. I know that she hates people more than anything. I know that she gets everything she wants. I know that she loves bacon. I know that she loves Carly. I know that she loves Spencer. I know that she loves…me. At least I think she loves me. Does she? I guess I'll find out tonight. Speaking of tonight, here comes the girl the show is named after.
"How long have you guys been in my house?" Carly asks confused as to why we were here when she wasn't.
"Few hours" I answer.
"Few minutes" Sam answers.
"Oh, okay. Don't eat all my food Sam! We're having spaghetti tacos tonight!" Carly states excitedly.
"YES!" Sam screams. She's so cute when she's happy…
"And I'm making my special lemonade for a special night!" Carly says.
Sam and I groan at the same time and look at each other. Our eyes lock for a moment and then Sam pulls her eyes away to refrain from making an awkward staring contest. I wouldn't mind though. Her eyes are beautiful. I wish I could stare into them all day….
"What are you looking at Fredbag?" Sam asks.
I guess I really was staring at them. Well this is awkward. Or should I make it more awkward than it already is and try to be more abnormal? Let's see how this goes…
"You." I say simply. Her expression changes from confused to incredulous in a matter of seconds.
"W-what?" She stutters. I guess I caught her off guard.
"I'm staring at you. You asked what I was looking at, and I answered. Problem, Puckett?" I say daringly. She looks shocked that I'm talking to her like this, but also impressed. My plan worked!
"Nope. No problem at all. I'm just gonna go up to Carly's room now. Bye." She says rapidly while running up the stairs and pulling Carly with her. I wonder what they're going to do up there all of a sudden. Whatever.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It's almost time. It's almost time for the very last iCarly ever. And it's gonna be a good one. First Carly and Sam come on and do some banter about how they were so sad about this being the last iCarly ever, which is actually funnier than expected so I almost dropped the camera from laughing too much in rehearsal. Then they'll take Gibby out and he'll take off his shirt for old time's sake. Then, it's my turn to make a speech. I told them it was going to be a surprise because they all wanted to know what it was about. I couldn't tell them obviously, because that would ruin the entire thing.
Carly and Sam walked in and both looked really pretty. Sam looked prettier of course. I always admired Sam's beauty. Her hair was so perfect and her make up was good, but I liked her better without make up. Carly was pretty too, just not in the way that I feel about Sam.
Carly…oh Carly. I remember a few years back when I had the biggest crush on her. I have no idea why, now that I have such strong feelings for Sam. I guess everything works out in the end, right? I sure hope so…
Then Gibby and Spencer walked in. They were talking about something they just watched on Celebrities Underwater. I haven't watched tv in a while because whenever I had free time, I was writing my speech. A speech that would change my whole life, and Sam's life too.
It was almost time to start the show and Carly and Sam were fixing their make up. Oddly, so was Gibby…that boy is so strange. Soon, I was saying "One minute you guys". We all just looked at each other and savored the moment before our very last show. Ever.
"In 5, 4, 3, 2.." I pointed at Carly and Sam, telling them they are live for the very last time.
"I'm Carly" Carly says while pretending to sob.
"And I'm S-Sam" Sam says also acting like she was crying. They both hugged each other, and even though I'm pretty sure some of those sobs were real, we had to go on with the show.
"Uhh you guys, the show…" I remind them that we're still on the air.
"We were only kidding!" Sam says with a huge smile on her face.
"And this is…" Carly says.
"iCARLY!" They both scream at the camera.
Their banter is funny, and Gib taking off his shirt was…interesting, but soon enough, it was my turn to say my speech. I'm not much of a public speaker, but I was surprisingly calm walking over to the center of the studio and staring into the B camera.
"Hello people of the Earth, Jupiter, and Wisconsin. I am Fredward Benson." I say. Sam hits the laughter button. "Yeah yeah…Fredward. I know, it's a stupid name. Sam has reminded me enough." She laughs. Oh my gosh, Sam Puckett just laughed at my joke. This is going to go a lot better than I thought.
"So I have a few things to say about iCarly. First of all, I came up with the name, so you are all welcome. Carly and Sam have been my best friends for as long as I can remember and we've been through so much together. From me having a huge crush on Carly, to me dating Carly, to Sam having a crush on me, to me dating Sam, it's been…interesting to say the least. But above all, we love each other. I love Carly. I love Sam. I love Gibby. I love Spencer. And I love you guys." I say pointing to the camera. I'm pretty sure I hear Carly softly crying. I look over and her head is on Sam's shoulder and Sam looks really sad. Not for long, I think.
"You guys were the ones who made this all possible, because if it wasn't for you, we wouldn't have done this show for 6 years. Wow. That's a really long time. So thank you." And here is the part where I start to get nervous.
"But I have something that I have wanted to say for a really long time. Sam, will you come over here?" I look over at her, gesturing for her to come over to me. Carly pushes her and I'm pretty sure everyone but Sam knows what's going on. Sam walks over to me and says "What do you want Benson?"
I look over at her and answer "Just listen to me, and don't interrupt until I ask you a question. Okay?" She nods and I continue, looking at the camera.
"Sam and I have been through a lot in our friendship. At first, we hated each other. But then, that hatred formed in to something else. Something neither of us could deny. Love." Sam's eyes widen at the L-word. I look at her.
"Do you remember what I said to you on the fire escape on January 3, 2009?" I ask Sam. She nods and says "Of course I do. You said 'Hey, I hate you' and I said 'Hate you too.'"
I continue, saying "Do you really think we hated each other? Do you really think either of us felt hatred toward the other? Or do you think maybe, just maybe, this is a game we've been playing since the 6th grade that both of us were too afraid to stop?" Sam nodded and said "Yeah I've thought about that a lot in the past few months…"
"Yeah. Me too. But I want you to know that I will never, ever say that I hate you now. You know why? I'm done playing this game." Sam looks shocked at what I'm saying.
"I'm done pretending that I hate you, because I don't. At all. In fact, Sam, I love you. Yeah, I said it again, and I'll say it forever because I love you Sam Puckett. And nothing you, or anyone else in the world says is going to change that." I look at her and she looks on the verge of tears. I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing so I just keep talking.
"So Sam, I am going to ask you one more time." I get down on one knee and I hear Carly gasp. "No Carly, it's not what you think." I say, turning to her. I take a fatcake out of my pocket and look up at Sam and say "Sam Puckett, will you go out with me again?" She looks shocked and looks over at Carly, who nods, telling her to say yes. Sam looks down at me, takes the fatcake, opens it, takes a bite out of it, observes it for a few seconds, then looks down at me again.
"Yes." She says with a smile spread across her face. I get up and kiss her passionately as if we haven't kissed for years, even though it's only been a few months. When we break apart, everyone in the studio is clapping and it feels like when we were back in Troubled Waters.
My speech was the end of the show, so everyone came on to the camera and said their goodbyes to the viewers. I walk over to my laptop cart, turn off the camera and say "And we're clear."
The studio is silent. No one is talking. We all just stare at the ground sadly until Carly and Sam start crying and hug each other. Gibby is the next one to go and joins them. Me and Spencer try to keep our composure, but that doesn't last long because soon enough, all five of us are standing in the middle of the studio sobbing onto each other. When we all calm down, I go over to Sam and give her a hug.
"That was really brave of you to do, Benson." She says while kissing me.
"I know. That's just how abnormal I was trying to be. Did it work?" I ask her.
"Oh it definitely worked, but I don't want us to not be ourselves. Why don't we be our normal weird selves and be a happy couple like in those stupid chick flick movies Carly makes me watch?" She asks.
"Sure, Princess Puckett. Whatever your heart desires." I say to her.
"You wanna know what my heart really desires?" She asks seductively into my ear and I have an idea of where this is going.
"Race you to Groovy Smoothie. GO!" I shout as she follows me, running as fast as she can. I give up at the bottom of the stairs, and as soon as I stop running, she stops too and walks over to me, panting.
"I forgot to tell you something." She says to me as she grabs my hand.
"What is it?" I ask, curious.
"I love you too." She says with a smile on her face. I kiss her one more time and we keep walking.
I can barely hear it when Carly comes down the stairs and says something to Spencer and Gibby. "I knew Seddie would happen all along. They're my number one OTP, how about you guys?" She asks.
"Oh totally!" "Yeah!" They reply.
I guess we were meant to be after all. I think we're all gonna be just fine without iCarly.

Crime Drama

Chapter 1


"What the hell!"  Judy exclaimed, "We have another whole day before the case closes." 
She stretched, reaching the other counter as she fell against the cold floor.

"Well, we don't have a choice in the matter anyway!"  Alaina complained, angrily.  There was a slight awkward silence between them before Judy finally replied.

"Well, I at least make sure they leave us the hell alone!  You know that I do a lot for this house!" Judy started to get up and leave the room, but something stopped her, Today's news.  The front page talked about a little girl being raped  by a man in his 80s and then stabbed her four times in the abdomen.  It was front page news because she was only five years old.  Judy turned to look at her sister,

"Laina, we gotta do something to help her family!"  Implored Judy, as she tried to convince Alaina,  But, she knew that it would take sometime to convince.
******
"Well, don't just stand there, knock!" Alaina barked loudly, trying to hind, that would work.
"Okay, okay! Just let me then!" Judy demanded in a loud tone.  Judy slowly knocked three times and the door opened almost immediately,
"Hello, is this Maxine and Robert Andrews?" questioned Alaina.  The couple looked at each other and replied, with a smile on their faces.

"Why yes, yes we are!  Did you hear about our daughter?"  They looked upset and the only thing Alaina and Judy could do was hug the couple.  They gently took the woman's arms and Alaina hugged her as Judy followed suit, hugging the man.

A Bit of "My Sixth Grade Graduation" by Dyanna Gajdowski

I woke with a start, my aunt had come in my room to wake me up even though I was so tired and didn't want to get my butt out of the mattress.  When I got up I put on that outfit that my aunt had bought me the pink jacket with the solid white shirt even though there was a small logo in the corner it had seemed just fine.  Then, there was the Capri’s that my aunt had bought me and that started that right off the bat and I still get them even for school.  They were pink with flowers all over them.  Finally I slipped on my black sneakers that my grandmother had gave me.

I gave myself a second to think before going out to the table at my aunt’s house.  I had been living there since I had been in fourth grade when something bad had happened at aunt Staci’s old house, the apartment.  My aunt started calling me out there and I hurried out the bathroom door.  I wanted to get toast and I did, but I needed to hurry off to school.  I didn’t ride the bus that day because it was my graduation of sixth grade and I was excited it was finally happening to me.  I had seen Shania graduating from sixth grade last year but I had seen her two or three days ago when she was in seventh grade, almost eighth grade.

My aunt was going to pick up my grandmother so she could come and see me graduate from sixth grade.  I had been through a lot at my aunt’s house alone that I thought I would be fine through noises and what not.  But, it seems I couldn’t!  I had always had that problem, even when I was a little girl.  People still call me and anal brat because I am a anal brat.  My aunt at one point had 9-10 people in her house alone that it was crowded.  D.J. was in aunt Bonnie’s room outside with Anthony.  Toni was inside o the couch and I was in my own room with Jamie.  As for my aunt and uncle, they were inside their own room together.  Now for my graduating, I had been on the mattress for a couple weeks and I was antsy about leaving this house and going home to live with my mother again.

We were almost ready to go and Tabatha was coming too.  She had to, unless my uncles niece babysat Tabatha.  Which she was glad to and at that point I really didn’t get to know her that much. Once I got to knowing her, she seemed nicer but, at that time I really didn’t know her all that well.  Anyway, about my graduation, I wanted to take a few things with me and I went out the door, at that point it was 7:38AM and I was ready with my clothes on.  The minute I got in the blue Ford Fusion of my aunt’s, she told me that I had to make room for Grandma’s oxygen tank.  At that point she had just gotten out of the hospital, so she needs that portable tank.  The scenery in Cochranton wasn’t really that great, it was more Blah then anything.  “Are we picking my mom up first or last?” I questioned with a smile on my face.  I wasn't really sure until she replied, "We are going to get grandma first and then we will get your mom." I smiled and looked out the window of the car as we passed a lot of trees and houses along with more cars on the pass by to Meadville, where I graduated from Neason Hill Elementary.


We got to my grandmother’s house on time.
