Freddie's POV

"I don't even understand why I'm here," I complained as Sam dragged me into the pet store.

"You're here because I needed your mother's car and your license," Sam replied, "For the cage and food and bedding and tubes,"

I rolled my eyes at her. This should not be something that I'm doing with her. Borrowing cars and asking someone to drive you around is something to be expected of from a boyfriend or girlfriend. And Sam and I aren't dating anymore... or maybe I should say not yet again.

But here I am nonetheless, watching as Sam presses her face up against the glass of every single cage in the store, "Are you really going to be able to take care of a hamster too? Won't Frothy try and eat it?"

I figured since Frothy lived in the Puckett household he couldn't get much food since often times there wasn't food in the house. Plus Sam had a fairly new rabbit as well, her mother had actually made good on her promise.

"Frothy is well-fed, better than me anyway, cause I'm the one who feeds him," Sam said with a hint of hurt in her voice. She had always taken very good care of Frothy while keeping herself and even her mother sometimes alive.

"Okay, so why not another rabbit?" I asked "To be friends with Fatcake?" of course Sam had named her rabbit after one of her favorite foods.

"Oh, I wanted another rabbit but my mom said no, even when I promised to make sure they were both boys." Sam said with a slight grin now, "Mom didn't want to take a chance on a bunch of baby rabbits appearing,"

"Ah, so... then a hamster is the next step?" I questioned, at least we were communicating and hadn't reverted back to hating each other. It's almost as if Sam was trying to be my friend.

"Well, yeah, I was going to get a couple of rats but Carls said if I got rats she would never come into my house ever again and I can't always stay at her place... just most of the time, gotta make sure the animals are fed right?"

I nodded seeing how this made sense; Sam kept walking now, toward the back where the small pets were kept. I followed her, noting the light spring in her step, she was actually excited. As she examined a bunch of hamsters her eyes strayed to the food bowl where a hamster was actually sitting inside the bowl, and a smile lit up her face.

The small creature was almost all dark reddish brown; there was a small stripe right in the middle of a back that was a lighter brown with less red in it. The hamster cheeks were bulging overstuffed with food, "That's her," Sam said.

"How do you know it's a?" I asked.

"Just trusting my gut," Sam replied with a shrug moving away from her hamster to go and find the cage, she loaded the stuff up in my arms (how did I end up carrying all of this?) and told (more like ordered) me to go wait at the cash register.

I struggled over to the cashier, and only had to wait a few moments before Sam returned with a teeny pet carrying case with her hamster safely stowed inside, "It is a SHE!" she informed me.

"That's awesome," I said as the cashier ran the purchases through and Sam actually handed over the money to pay for a change. Briefly I wondered where she got so much money, but then remembered she had been working part time somewhere though she wouldn't tell me where.

I automatically started picking stuff up again, and Sam clutched her hamster close to her, the cashier handed Sam her change and smiled at her, "It's so nice that your boyfriend is carrying all that stuff for you,"

There was an awkward pause as neither one of us knew what to say then I opened my mouth and stuttered, "I-I'm not, I mean, we're not... it's not like...."

Sam cut me off, "See you later," she told the cashier.

We left the store and Sam let out a little snort, "You're so coherent you know that?" she said and it was almost fun to hear her tease me again as we made our way through the parking lot.

"I just don't know how to respond to those types of things," I said with a sigh as I unlocked my mother's car and opened the trunk with difficult since my hands were still filled with all sorts of hamster paraphernalia.

Sam actually helped me organize the things in my mother's ridiculous tiny car with it's even more ridiculous trunk, "Just ignore them, or if you like to torture them be like, 'she's my sister,'"

I laughed, "I don't think anyone would believe that,"

"Well, if they don't watch iCarly they might," She shrugged.

"Who doesn't watch iCarly?" I said as we both climbed into the car.

"Losers," Sam replied, clicking in her seatbelt and adjusting the tiny pet carrier on her lap.

"Touché," I did up my own seatbelt and turned the keys in the ignition and the car quietly purred into life.

"Okay Benson, take me and my little Bacon home now," Sam ordered as I eased the car forward carefully into the parking lot and then onto the road to Sam's house.

"Bacon?" I asked with a small grin.

"Yup, she looks just like a fat little piece of bacon," Sam said although she was talking more into the cage then to me.

I resisted rolling my eyes and instead thought of how amazing it was to see such a warm and nurturing side of Sam. Then at a red light I closed my eyes for a second and wished I didn't love her, then immediately took that back. Instead, I wished I were a little more abnormal.
