What really happened?
Carly and Freddie sat on Carly's bed kissing. The two had been dating for quite a while now, much to the chagrin and annoyance of Sam. "While you two make out, I'll be throwing up." Sam had said as she excited out the Shay's door. Eventually, Carly parted from Freddie. "I think I can hear Spencer! Quick, emergency positions." Ordered Carly as the two fumbled around. Just as Spencer walked in, Carly was sat at her dressing table, showing Freddie some new things she wanted him to try for iCarly. "Hey kiddo, Freddorooney."
"Hey Spence." Greeted Freddie, and Carly went over and hugged him. "Did you have a nice time night fishing with Socko?"
"Yeah, it was great. We caught a real big one and ate it for tea."
"That's nice." Sighed Carly, a distance-dreamy tone in her voice. But the boys overlooked her different tone and Spencer continued.
"Is Freddo staying for tea?"
"If that's okay with you Spence?" Asked Freddie, answering instead of Carly.
"Any time." Spencer finished, swishing out the room. "Carly, we've gotta tell him someday." Carly continued to stare with that dream expression on her face. "Yeah, someday. But someday is not today Freddie." Shaking his head, Freddie sat down on her sofa. "If you don't tell him, I will. In fact, today at dinner." That shook Carly out of her trance.
"NO! You…you can't tell Spencer, you just can't." Freddie gave Carly an annoyed look. "Why can't we tell him already?" Carly could definitely sense the frustrated tone in his voice, and knew he was serious about telling Spencer. "Because…I…He thinks I'm dating someone else." There was a mixture of eyes wide and mouth opens in the room coming from Freddie. "What? Who the hell does he think you're dating?" Growled the male brunette. "T…One of Spencer's book club ladies son's." Freddie had definitely expected a little more competition, so he burst out laughing. "It's not funny Freddie. Spencer's going out with this really nice lady, but she wouldn't date him unless I went out with her son."
"So you're cheating on me?" Fake-smiled Freddie.
"No, I'm not! Gerald doesn't…"
"GERALD! Pha, what kind of name is that?"
"It's not nice to make fun of people's names Freddie. But anyway, Gerald didn't want to go out with me either, so we both continued to date our real boyfriend and his girlfriend and just pretend every time Spencer or Miss Tayler come round to either of our houses. Happy now Fredward?" Freddie nodded, a satisfied grin on his face. Carly gave him a sideways glance and smiled sweetly. "Oh, I can't stay mad at you when you put on that face." Carly cooed as she went over to him and sat on his lap. Freddie's grin became a broad smile as Carly lent in for a kiss.
Halfway through, Spencer leapt into the room. "Hey Carly I just found…" His voice faded at the sight of his little sister and most trusted next door neighbour. "Spencer!" Yelled Carly, untangling herself from Freddie's legs. "We were just…I was…" The two stammered, but Spencer just burst out laughing. "I was wondering how long it would take me to figure it out: The late nights out, constant dates and always having iCarly meetings. I thought you weren't that close with Gerald. And I was right." Sung Spencer. "So you're not mad?" Asked Carly. "At all?" Added Freddie. Without stopping skipping, Spencer continued "Of course I'm mad. But you two seemed so happy while I watched I mean…" Carly's eyes opened very wide.
"Spencer, how long were you stood outside my door?" Growled Carly through gritted teeth.
"About ten minutes. Why?" Carly and Freddie looked at each other than glared at Spencer. "Pervert." Yelled Carly, but in a comical way as Freddie and Spencer burst out laughing.
"It's not funny and you shouldn't be laughing! Especially you Freddie. All the things we were doing…" Gasped Carly, beginning to pace round her room, a worried expression on her face. Even Spencer had stopped laughing now.
"I'm sorry kiddo. You just looked so cute, it was like one of my movies." Spencer instantly clapped his hand over his mouth and Freddie opened his eyes very wide. "You have movies like that? You are weird Spence." Sighed Freddie, restraining his laughter.
"I'm weird? You were the ones…" "ENOUGH!" Yelled Carly over Spencer. "Can we please stop with the shouting, it's giving me a headache." Freddie and Spencer nodded in unison. "Thank you. Anyway, Spencer if you could…"
"If you're going to ask me to leave you are very much mistaken, not after what I've seen anyway."
Carly and Freddie once again glared at him. "It was not that bad! At least we had our clothes on. Imagine if you'd have come in here to see us…yeah." Finished Carly, coolly. "And anyway, I was not going to ask you to leave, I was going to say could you check to see what we've got in the fridge for dinner." Carly folded her arms firmly and pointed to the door and waited for him to leave, checking twice. Freddie smirked once again.
"You were gonna ask him to leave weren't you?" Grinned the boy. Carly bit her lip and looked down guiltily. "Yes."
During dinner, no one spoke, not even Spencer. Silence seemed the best option as none of the three wanted to talk about what had happened in the past half hour. After their spaghetti tacos were finished and Carly had taken all their plates to the kitchen, Spencer was the first to speak. "So guys…How long of you been dating?" Freddie continued to stare at his water, so Carly answered from the fridge. "About six months now…Why?" Spencer got up from his chair and slumped down on the couch.
"Oh no reason. Just wanted to know how long you've been keeping it behind my back." Carly and Freddie glanced at each other briefly.
"I'm sorry Spencer, I just…We just didn't want your relationship with Katie to end. You've been at your happiest since you've been with her. But Gerald and I didn't want to date each other, so we didn't." Freddie and Carly joined Spencer on the couch, separated by him. While watching Celebrities Underwater, there was a knock on the door.
"Freddie! Come home now you need to take your special vitamins." Came the voice of Mrs Benson, Freddie's mom.
"Mom I do not need to take those vitamins… Anymore." Finished Freddie awkwardly.
"Well, come home anyway. I'm coming in." Mrs Benson opened the door to find the trio on the couch watching her worst program.
"Freddie! You know how I feel about you watching that dreadful show." Gasped Mrs Benson.
"You can't stop me from watching a comedy show." Spat Freddie, shooting Mrs Benson a scornful look. Spencer wanted this conversation to end, so happily added "Carly and Freddie are dating now." Three mouths opened and three pairs of eyes widened. "WHAT?" Screamed Mrs Benson.
"Isn't it great?" Exclaimed Spencer, oblivious to Mrs Benson's anger.
"Great? This is outrageous! Carly, Freddie, go upstairs while I talk to Spencer. NOW!" And she pointed a bony finger at the duo as they quickly ran upstairs.
"How could Spencer do that?" Wailed Carly into Freddie's arms. "What did he expect her to do, welcome me with open arms?" She continued. Freddie tried his best to comfort her, giving her light kisses on her head.
"Carls, calm down. It's not like me dating Sam, is it? Mom thought that was possibly the worst thing to ever happen to me, so this has to be at least better than that to her." Freddie sighed. This statement made Carly feel a bit better, but she still continued to cry slightly.
Meanwhile, Mrs Benson had sat down on the couch with a concerned Spencer next to her. "Mrs Benson, please tell me what's going on." He pleaded. Taking a deep breath, Mrs Benson began.
"Do you know what happened to you and Carly's mother?"
Spencer sniffed.
"Yeah. She died when I was nine in a car accident. I don't really remember her much."
"That's where you are wrong Spencer. Your mother isn't dead."
"Mrs Benson, please. This isn't a matter to talk or joke about…" Spencer was becoming impatient. He hadn't talked about his mom in years, and he really didn't want to talk about it now, especially with Mrs Benson.
"Do you know what happened to Freddie's father?" Spencer raised his eyebrows and his mouth turned into a frown.
"No. Freddie's never talked about him. Well not in front of me anyway." Mrs Benson stared into her lap. She was obviously finding it hard to talk about her husband.
"Well, I'll tell you what happened to him. But first, I need to tell you that…Huh…He's…Not my husband…" There was a gasp heard from Spencer, but then a laugh.
"Wait, you came round here to tell me that you had Freddie when you weren't married. That's not bad. Most people…"
"No Spencer, I mean…I'm not Freddie's mother, I'm his Auntie." There was a gigantic gasp from Spencer, and also two more. Carly and Freddie stood on the stairs, clasping each other's hands tightly.
Freddie slowly approached Mrs Benson. "Mom?" The distressed woman sighed. "It's time to tell you three, what really happened fifteen years ago."
Dun dun DAA! Big cliff-hanger. Now I'm telling you this now: It will be a two-shot. If the next chapter ends with a cliff-hanger then there might be an epilogue. Please review, I like to see what you think.
