"Good show guys!"

"Thanks". "You no it!" The replies of the to icarly girls to their technical producer.

The icarly gang had just wrapped up their new years eve show before heading off to a party at one of the schools most popular guys house. He had a pool, a spa, pretty much just a backyard was enough to get a party started, especially on new years eve.

"So tell me again why your so dressed up for this party tonight?" Freddie asked Carly, although he had a feeling that he already knew the answer. "Because, I like getting dressed up for parties" replied Carly nervously. Sam rolled her eyes and gave the real answer because really, to her, she didn't care if it hurt Freddie's feelings. "She's trying to impress David Carson".

"Sam!", Carly's voice sighed.

"What?. It's not like he doesn't already no that your hung up on David"

"I am not" Carly hesitantly told Sam.

"Whatever, I really don't care who you like Carly, seriously, I'm over my crush." Freddie said calmly to both girls.

"Yeah whatever you say Fredweird, it's not like she's ever gonna love you back!"

Freddie just turned back to his laptop and laughed slightly. That slightly small, yet definite laugh made Sam think that maybe he was actually being serious for once, and really had come to terms that Carly would never return his love.

"This party is going off!" Sam yelled over the loud music as she stood out in the backyard with a bottle looking like alcohol, although it wasn't. Freddie was standing next to her looking around at the huge number of teenagers from his school, and some that he didn't even recognize. Carly was standing up against the backyard fence and David was standing facing her and they were deep in conversation.

"Hey Freddie, wanna dance?" a girl in his english class had came up and asked him.

"Why would you wanna dance with him? He's a nub." Sam quickly snapped at the girl.

"Sure Claire" Freddie replied contently.

His hand was pulled towards the floor and he turned around and looked at Sam making a weird face as if to say, see girls aren't completely repelled by me.

Since Freddie had gone off with Claire, and Carly was nowhere in sight, Sam decided to go for a walk around the backyard and find something to do. She stopped near the edge of the pool watching people swim around, she thought about jumping in but she remembered that she hadn't brought her swimwear, and of course she knew that no one would want her to go skinny dipping.

"Heads up!" someone screamed as Sam looked up and saw a football coming at her. She put her hands up to catch it but instead was knocked out of the way by some other guy catching it causing her to fall into the pool.

Nearly everyone had heard the sudden change in the movement of water and heard the splash. The guy stood there holding back a laugh on his face that wasn't completely hidden so that Sam could see it. "Ummm... Sorry" the guy said slowly holding back his laughter. Sam moved to the end of the pool and pushed herself out without taking her furious eyes off him. This guy wasn't aware of the kind of girl she was because he didn't go to their school, though if he did, he definitely would have ran as soon as he had realized she had seen him.

Sam sat on the bench near the back of the yard in her soaking wet jeans and long sleeved shirt with another T-shirt on top, her normal style. She was pretty happy with herself after she had just watched the guy jump the fence and get the hell out of the backyard, knowing that she scared him a bit more than she thought was possible.

She saw Freddie walking towards her.

"Look I don't need your stupid pity I'm fine" she said as he got close enough to hear.

"I know, I saw that everyone had forgot about you falling once they saw the guy crying like a baby and jumping over the fence" Freddie said with a smile and giggle.

He sat down next to Sam and looked over at her, her long blonde curls were wet and dripping. He stood up and reached down for her hand.

"Come on lets go get you dried off"

She stood up without using his hand. "it's only water Benson, but alright whatever".

Freddie had asked the host of the party if they could use his room and a towel to dry off Sam to which he agreed. Sam sat on his bed with a towel under her while Freddie went looking for another one.

"Found one!" Freddie called out from another room.

He walked in and through it to her. She got it and started dabbing her face with it. Freddie walked over to her and sat down. He looked at her with and awkward smile on his face, they were in the room alone, and knowing Sam, he would probably leave with some kind of injury.

"That T-shirt is soaking, maybe you should take it off"

Sam stood up and through him the damp towel and pulled off her T-shirt leaving her long sleeved shirt underneath. Freddie stood up with the towel and started to dry off some of her hair, not knowing why he didn't just give her the towel. She turned around to face him and gave him a strange look and with that he got the towel and used it to rub her hair on the top of her head fast in a sort of funny way.

"You better run Benson" Sam said as she ripped the towel from his hand and chased him around the room trying to flick him, which she did do.

Freddie was lying on the ground with his hand on his stomach where she had wacked him and began to grown as he stood up. "So what happened to Claire?" Sam questioned.

"Nothing, she wanted to dance with some other guys."

"Awww poor Freddie, now Carly and Claire both don't want you, like nearly every other girl here" Sam teased Freddie with a huge grin on her face, while in her head she couldn't believe she just said nearly ever girl, and hoped that Freddie didn't catch on.

"Whatever Sam, Claire didn't turn me down" Freddie said annoyed as he rolled his eyes.

They'd been in the room for nearly and hour and it was approaching midnight. Sam was pretty much dry so they decided they should head back out to the party.

"Wonder where Carly has gotten to"

"I saw her earlier and she said that she was going to go for a walk around the block with David" Freddie replied to Sam.

"Hey guys what you been up too? You having fun? How great is this party!" Carly was beaming as she talked to her two best friends.

"Well you missed Sam fighting this guy after he pushed her in the pool" Freddie laughed as he told Carly what had happened.

"Like I said, anyone who messes with mama is gonna get hurt" Sam said to Carly and Freddie who already knew her well enough to know that statement is completely reliable.

Sam had gone to get another drink when Carly had finally finished talking to them about David who she had let hang out with his mates for a while.

"Freddie you know it's ten minutes to midnight?" Carly asked

"Yeah I know why?" Freddie asked her confused about where she was going with this conversation.

"So do you know who your kissing at 12 o'clock?" She asked him

"Well, probably nobody, I don't have to kiss anyone."

"Oh my god are you serious? You have to kiss someone!" Carly shouted.

"Sam isn't gonna kiss anyone. Wait is she?"

"Yeah but come on Freddie, that's Sam, she will only do something when she wants too."

"Yeah, well I dunno I might go and talk to Claire."

"Freddie sorry to burst your bubble but Claire is going to kiss Adam." Carly told Freddie with a concerned voice.

Freddie saw Sam come back over to them with the drink in her hands.

"So Sam are you kissing anyone tonight?" Freddie asked her, though he probably shouldn't have.

"Nope. But don't go getting any ideas Fredweird"

Carly was back with David and there was only five minutes to go. Freddie started to think about Carly saying that he needed to kiss someone, but if he was going to, he needed to find someone now. He began to look around the room but had no luck finding anyone that he was even slightly interested in.

"Sam, what did you mean before when you said that nearly every girl can't stand me?"

Shit she was busted, she didn't think he would ask, what was she going to say, she had no idea what to say, usually she can lie easily on call, but this time, she was stunted.

By that time everyone started counting down. FIVE FOUR THREE TWO ONE!.

Before Freddie could finish calling out "One" he felt someone's lips press against his. It was kind of dark, and he had closed his eyes. A couple of seconds later everyone screamed "Happy New Year", and the kiss was over. He opened his eyes to see the back of long blonde curls swaying a bit as she walked away.

"Sam! Sam!" Freddie called out as he ran after her.

She didn't turn around but he kept calling until he got close enough and grabbed her are to turn her around to face him. She had an extremely nervous look on her face as he looked her in the eyes.

"What was that?" Freddie asked, still shaken by the whole thing, though he wasn't against what she had just done.

Sam let out a nervous breath.

"Like I said, NEARLY ever girl doesn't want you" with emphasis on nearly.

He was shocked. speechless.

Sam looked him in the eyes, then, she turned around and walked off, yet this time, Freddie didn't follow, he just stood there.
