- I'm so glad we're friends. -
Hey, get off me, would ya?
Okay, that checks out.
Let's take a look at the full story
of Sam and Cat's friendship.
Yes, please tell me now.
Sam and Cat have a unique friendship.
One that stands all the way back
before they ever even officially met.
Hi there Roger. I like your mole.
That mole's really working for 'em.
- Yep. - Effective mole.
In a crossover episode
of iCarly and Victoria's, both Sam and Cat crossed paths
though they never actually spoke to each other.
Your doctor said you weren't supposed to talk!
♪ He didn't say I couldn't sing ♪
Um. Wow. Can we just pause to admire those vocals?
- Well, alright. -
didn't meet each other on that glorious night,
their lives would soon intercept.
iCarly's gonna be taking a break.
Carly's going to Italy to live with her dad for a while.
When Carly left to go live with her dad in Italy,
Sam drove off into the sunset on her motorcycle.
Later, we would learn that Sam ended up in LA
exactly where she would be at a food truck.
What are you doing here in LA?
Looking for fun.
[giggling]
Uh, how are your breakfast burritos?
- Disgusting. - I'll take a jumbo.
Wait a second.
Did you notice that pink blob in the background?
Yeah, that was Cat.
Once again, fate has brought these two together,
which allowed Sam and Cat
to connect over Cat's oblivious and kind hearted nature.
Oh, I see the kittens.
Awe. Awe.
Ah ha. Here ya go.
What's that red headed chick doing in a trash can?
After attempting to rescue a kitten in a garbage can,
Cat was launched into a garbage truck.
Thankfully, Sam was watching the entire thing
and stepped in to rescue her new BFF.
What's that smell?
That's you and me from swimming in garbage.
Come take a bath at my Nona's.
Oh, thanks, but you don't have to--
Please. You saved me from being squished in garbage.
Let me repay you with the gift of bathing.
And just like that, Sam and Cat became--
what are we calling this ship anyway?
Cam is taken, so Sat? Bah, we'll have to work on it.
We sorta have this whole fun odd couple dynamic...
built in conflict.
Lots of potential for more adventures.
After a few days of kicking around LA
and hanging out with Cat, Sam decided
that maybe her next adventure
was already unfolding in Cat's apartment.
I kinda don't have anywhere I really need to be.
And you kinda seem like you need a roommate.
Ah, are you saying what I think you're saying?
Yeah.
You're gonna stay here in LA with me
for awhile and help me find a roommate?
Ha. I already found you a roommate!
Shut up! Who is she?
Me!
Oh my gosh! This is the best day ever!
From barely knowing each other, to roommates.
It's the start of a perfect friendship.
But how the heck are they going to afford their next adventures?
Sam and Cat took care of us.
They're the best babysitters ever.
Let me just pay you guys for the babysitting.
Umm, there.
How much is this?
150 bucks.
What?
Roommates, babysitters, best friends, oh my.
From then on out Sam and Cat's friendship blossomed.
And we got to witness Sam's sensitive side
as she attempted to navigate Cat's feelings.
These broke... like my heart...
when they canceled That's a Drag.
[crying]
Don't cry. You're getting all--
Here.
Boop, boop. Boop, boop. Boop, boop. Boop, boop.
[laughing]
As their friendship strengthened,
their babysitting business only grew larger.
If you're a parent,
you probably love your kids.
[mumbling]
Who wants 'em around all the time?
Nobody!
Ya got that right!
Yeah.
Why not bring your kids to
Sam and Cat's Super Rockin' Fun Time Babysitting Service?
But that wasn't necessarily a good thing.
Especially when some children
were determined to rip Sam and Cat apart.
You stole my bibble.
No, I didn't.
Yeah, then why are all these little bibble bits
all around your pillow?
Dude, I never touched your bibble.
Yeah, you did!
'Cause I'm chewing the evidence!
Why would I even eat that junk?
Oh, excuse me. Girl who eats dirty ham from the streets.
What are you talking-- That ham was perfectly fine.
You ate my bibble. You disregarded my side.
[arguing]
Sam and Cat's friendship
was way too strong for some kids to ruin it though.
I think I know what's going on!
- Me, too. - It was Gwen and Ruby.
It was the little British girls.
[everyone] I'm sorry, I got mad at you.
Oh my God, we said that simultaneously.
You can do this for two more seconds.
Ding.
I mean, it makes sense that this friendship works so well.
Doesn't Sam kinda remind you of Cat's other best friend?
What are you doing here?
You said you wanted to work on our project.
At your house, not here.
Whatever, let's just go in--
No, you can't!
There are so many similarities between Sam and Jade,
but their friendship with Cat is one of our favorites.
However, Cat's jealousy over Sam and Jade's connection
almost tore all of them apart.
Oh, hi.
- Hey. - 'Sup?
'Sup? What's 'sup is looks like you guys
forgot to invite me to your little get together.
No, we're just about to text you.
Were just about.
I also noticed I wasn't invited
to go with you guys to the movies last night either!
It was a horror movie.
You hate horror movies.
So, I hate spiders, too.
But if a spider was having a birthday party,
I could swing by for some cake!
Cat, wait. Come back. Hang out with us. Sit down.
Oh, no, thank you.
I'll be sitting elsewhere... with Dice... and Nona.
Jealous? Hmm?
Cat's jealousy eventually took over.
And instead of talking it out with Sam,
she decided to get even.
And what's the best way to annoy Sam?
Sam. There you are. Hi.
What are you doing? What's she-- What is happening here?
Okay, I came down to LA 'cause I thought you
- got run over by-- - Oh, Freddie.
This is my friend, Jade.
Jade, how cute is my new friend, Freddie?
Yeah, it's a pretty little chunga boy.
Sam isn't exactly one to back down from a petty fight, though.
Since Cat's running around with your ex-boyfriend...
Don't say it out loud.
...you make a date with this guy.
His name's Robbie and Cat's had a crush on him like forever.
- Him? - He's sort of a him.
Oh, boy. As you can imagine, this led to one of Sam
and Cat's biggest fights.
Didn't they know rule number one of friendship,
never involve ex-boyfriends or Robbie?
Robbie Shapiro!
Oh!
Oh, Cat, you're back.
Ah, Robbie was just singing me a little song he wrote called--
I know what it's called! He wrote that song for me!
- Cat! - I'm swell! Me!
He sang that to me over a year ago!
Well, he's singing it to me now.
Why did you call Robbie and invite him here?
Oh, why did you call Freddie?
Robbie is in love with me.
So, Freddie's in love with me.
In the end, Cat realized how important Sam was to her.
So even though she was mad at Sam,
she would have done anything to protect her,
anything, including jumping over a giant pool
of killer tuna fish on a motorcycle.
Cat, no!
Cat!
Here she comes! She's gonna--
[screaming]
Cat! Cat! Cat! Cat!
[moaning]
[unintelligible] Get up.
[moaning]
- Are you okay? - I think so.
[moaning]
Dude, why did you do that?
You don't know how to ride a motorcycle.
To protect you.
Oh, kid.
Without a doubt, Sam and Cat's friendship was indestructible.
And we believe it continues to grow and develop to this day.
Well, maybe. The last we heard of Sam and Cat,
one of them was headed to jail.
And it's not who you think.
Ah, Cat's being arrested.
I mean, it really looks like a wig.
Wait, Cat was really arrested?
Yes. You've got to get Nona to come to Arizona
and bail her out or else
Cat's gonna be in jail for two weeks.
Okay, I'll tell Nona. Bye.
Goodbye.
Who was that?
Oh, that was Dice... and Cat.
Oh, are they coming back here?
No.
What's going on?
Ah, they decided to stay in Phoenix for two more weeks.
So Cat says you should stay here
and take care of me 'til she gets back.
Cat's probably doing fine in jail, though, right?
I joined a prison gang!
Okay, then. From strangers to roommates
to babysitters to BFF's.
Sam and Cat's adventures have flown by.
But let's be real.
This friendship will last a lifetime.
Just hopefully not in prison.
I'm so glad we're friends.
I'm sure you are.
