Disclaimer: O.K I confess my name is Dan Schneider. I own iCarly, Victorious and many other shows, and if you believe that, I got a bridge form New York to London, I would like to sell you. Just kidding I am not Dan Schneider, and do not own iCarly.
There are somewhat Dark and Adult themes in this story, but I want everyone to know it is first and for most a comedy. I think we forget that above the shipping and everything, iCarly is supposed to be funny. Now like I said I'm not Dan I will not go and pretend to be, but I hope to provide at least a chuckle or two, with this, what I like to call a dark comedy about Freddie journey to becoming and living as an emancipated minor. So please Read, go ahead and review, but most of all enjoy.

Chapter 1
Life is not so bad for me. I am a junior in high school, I produce the number one web show on the internet, staring the girl I have been in love with since before I knew what being in love meant. Best yet she's my girlfriend. She makes it clear every waking minute we are together she loves me. I must be the luckiest guy in the world. The thing is I am living this charmed life and I know it won't always be like this, but as long Carly is there with me I'll be OK, I think.
"Focus Freddie." I hear her call to me as she is walking over to my tech cart. "What are you typing there, that has you so lost in thought." I try to hide my entry into my digital journal, but it is of no use. She read my thoughts and smiles. "Really Freddie you do have a charmed life, A girlfriend who loves you every bit as you love her" she says wrapping her arms around my neck and pressing her lips to mine. "So don't worry about whatever is coming good and bad things always happen we'll just deal with it when it happens, so enjoy the mostly drama free life." She whispers in me ear only load enough for only me to hear.
"Hey, lovebirds are you going to listen to my idea?" Sam say interrupting as she does on multiple occasions.
"Yes Sam, we are coming." Carly says to get her off our backs. She takes my hand and guides me back to the beanbag chairs. I flop down the same red one I always use Carly then follows by flopping down on my lap. "This way I can make sure you pay attention to work."
"Oh but it's going to be so hard." I joke. She bites her lip a bit and blushes.
"Yeah I take care of that for you later." She said almost whispering in my ear.
"Excuse me, but before I lose my lunch can I get to what I was going to tell you." Sam says, I know she is hate seeing us get like this when doesn't have a boyfriend, but Carly and I have been dating for a year and in that time Sam has had only one boyfriend, so I figure she should be used to it.
"OK I think we should all do a live skydive on the show." Sam finally told us, and I have to admit it's not a bad idea.
"Hey yeah last time skydived was when we were in Japan, we didn't do on purpose but it was kind of fun. This time we can get it on camera. Freddie can we do it" Carly ask me with a lot of excitement in her voice, she seems really into this idea.
"Yeah it wouldn't be hard to pull off can each ware small cameras and mics on our helmets." I tell her, I was going to complement Sam on having yearly good idea, but considering it's March I am surprised she wastes it so early in the year. Before I could get the words out, I heard my mother calling for me. I love my mom but I have never met a more over bearing woman. I am lucky she doesn't notice that when she is acting just way to nuts I sneak away to Carly's and spend time with her just to cool off.
"Freddie Benson I should have known you were here." She said, why does she let the crazy set in so much.
"Yeah mom I told I was going to be here we are planing for the show." She has mellowed out a lot but she still has her moments, and her melt downs, but I tell her where I am going most of the time, even when I am with Carly. However that doesn't mean I am not dreaming of the day I move away. At least she has come to accept that Carly and I date, she doesn't freak out anymore when Carly sleeps over, or when I sleep over at Carly's, she says as long as she doesn't she it.
"Freddie does she have to sit there." She asks after spotting Carly on my lap.
"Yes mother it happens to be both of our favorite place for her to sit." I say looking at Carly, fully aware that it will bug my mom out but this is something she really has learned to get over Carly and my small bit not-so-p.d.a, and we are in Carly's apartment.
"Fine I get the hint, I just came to let you know I am working late tonight." She says, I have fight the temptation to look and smile at Carly.
"OK love ya mom be safe." I tell her, making sure the conversations over.
"I love you too Freddie, so before I go, here I want to give you and Carly this." She says handing us a binder, full very nasty deformed male and female private parts.
"Mom what the heck." I ask I can't believe she gave me this.
"It a book on venereal diseases, I know I can't stop you stop form doing what teenagers do but you should at least be informed." She said on her way out the door. I really can't believe her sometimes. This might the most embarrassed and mortified I have ever been in front of Carly. Both our faces are red and the sound of Sam's laughter is rung loudly in my head. It didn't take long for Sam to make a joke after my mom was out the studio.
"There you go Carly Benson, that is the woman that will be your mother-in-law, and the grandmother to your kids." She manages to get while gasping for air form laughing so hard.
"Carly Benson?" She asks looking at Sam like she was a nut.
"You finally come to your senses Carly ?" Sam ask I really thought she was happy for us.
"Oh I am not going to be Carly Benson" What why would she say it like that.
"why not?" As the question escapes my lips. My mother enter again.
"Oh Freddie dear there is also, there is left over tofu in the fridge, and don't forget to take your tick bath. Bye honey." She adds before leaving for good and adding fuel to Sam's raging laughter.
"Freddie, that's Ms. Benson are your sure you want me to be that ?" She points out holding my face in her hands cupping my cheeks as I finally see her point.
"Right, so..." I start to ask.
"Hey, whenever you if you ask the answer is yes, Just don't expect me to take your name." She added.
"So Shay-Benson it is then" I joked smiled at her, she I know she would she yes but were Seventeen, I love her but I'm not stupid.
Later that night I lay in my bed with Carly in arms, The VD pieces were only a buzz kill enough for us to not have sex, it didn't mean we weren't going to sleep together. I'm sound asleep when she wakes me up complaining about the phone ringing off the hook. I would have just sleep right through it.
"Freddie it's Four in the morning who the heck is calling you this late." She gets very annoyed when some distrust her sleep. I reach over to my nightstand and see it is the hospital. Why would my mom call me form the hospital's phone, and not here own. Her job can't allow private calls.
"Hello" That not my mom's voice "Freddie it's Beth your mom's friend, there been an accident."
"Wha- what happen?" I asked I don't like the sound of this, I had a feeling something bad was going to happen all say. Carly can see that I am not alright.
"Babe what's wrong."
"Is my mom alright?" I am starting to get worried.
"There was an accident Freddie, we tried to save her, but she didn't make it. She's gone."
Oh god this can't be happening.
