"Gibby," Carly said, "I'm getting worried about Freddie and Sam."

"Yeah," Gibby said.

Sam and Freddie were laughing at the most random things. They found a mechanic simply holding a wrench hilarious. Currently, they were texting each other and giggling like a pair of school girls.

"How long must a person be awake before they start hallucinating?" Carly asked.

"No clue. How can we get them to nap?"

Carly sighed. "I don't know, Gibby."

Johnny walked out. "The window's all fixed."

Freddie stood up. "Thank God. My mom would've had a spazz attack if she saw it broken."

"Thanks, Johnny," Sam said.

"How else can I make it up to you about the whole alibi thing? Have the cops contacted you at all?"

"Nope."

"Good." Johnny threw Freddie his keys, which hit Freddie in the forehead.

Sam laughed. "Smooth move, Fredweeze."

"Sam, be nice," Carly said. "Freddie, give me your keys."

Freddie pouted. "Why?"

"I won't let you drive until you and Sam sleep for a little bit."

"Too bad that's never gonna happen," Sam told Carly.

"Gibby and I will make sure you two nap."

Sam snorted, but Carly ignored her. "Freddie, hand over the keys."

Freddie gave the keys to Carly.

The four of them stood up, and went to the car.

Once they all got in, Gibby asked, "Where to next?"

"Rip-Off Rodney's," Sam said.

"What?" Freddie asked with disgust.

"We're gonna get the fake ID's from him."

"No fucking way!"

"There's no need for swearing," Carly said. Freddie didn't hear her though.

"What's wrong with Rodney?" Sam asked.

"You mean beside the fact it'll be painfully obvious the ID's are fake? And that we'll be over charged for a shitty fake ID job?"

"You got a better idea?"

"Yeah."

"Who?"

"My friend Kale."

"I have no idea who that is."

"Sam, he goes to our school," Carly said. "You had, like, five classes with him. You always cheated off of him in physics."

"Really?"

"Yup."

"We've even eaten lunch with him a couple of times," Freddie told Sam.

"Huh. Weird. How have I not noticed him?"

"Well, he's in the AV club with me."

"Ah. That's why."

Then Freddie and Sam started bickering. Carly looked at Gibby, who rolled his eyes while smiling.
