Five Minutes to Midnight

Tagline: With there only being five minutes until midnight, will Freddie get his new years kiss?

Disclaimer:I don't own Icarly.

"Sorry Dude" The giant fullback for the school team said after knocking into someone at the punch bowl.

"No problem" Is the response by the brunette sarcastically as he picked up some napkins to try and clean his shirt before the thirty five percent punch (with the other sixty five percent being a mixture of alcohol collected by the students who were all at least three years too young to buy any real liquor) stained. Like his neurotic mother always says 'shirts with unwanted marks are a sure way to break your moms heart'

He sighed as he realized he would have to get rid of the shirt of his shirt before his mom came back from his aunt Stephanie's house where she was at for the weekend. It wasn't like he didn't have roughly a hundred plaid button ups but this one was his favorite shade of blue. The giant red stain had already seemed to stain however so it was a lost cause at this point.

So was him trying to enjoy himself at this New years party. He had been convinced by his two best friends to come. Why he agreed even though he hated parties was beyond him though maybe it had to do with batting of some eyelashes and a pout or two. His very much FEMALE friends knew he was a sucker for a pretty face and rarely could say no to either one of them.

Carly was a no brainer. He had had a crush on her since before he was blessed by the puberty gods (A/N this might be me being just a tad bias XD). Though he wasn't in love with her anymore, he still found it hard to say no to her when she said her famous "please, for me' face. He quickly scanned the room and saw her dancing with some guy who would probably end up being her latest victim. Though not intentionally, Carly somehow managed to invade a guys heart but most of her relationships didn't last long through a series of events that seemed to come from the mind of a tv producer.

With his more fair haired companion it was a different story. Initially she would force him to do whatever she wanted with a punch that would make him doubt it came from such a petite female. Over the years their relationship had become more stable and he would curse her name less as he put ice on his swollen body parts. They even managed to become close without having to be around Carly. Those times were nice. It was fine until…well until THAT day at the end of their junior year.

He glanced at his watch. It was about five minutes to midnight and he couldn't wait for the year he had just experienced to be over. He scanned the room again and saw her bright blue eyes shining even from the other side of the room. He felt his heart start racing almost instantly with thoughts of everything that had happened with her these past six months. Yea it seemed like a good time to refill his cup.

A/N: So for the sake of the story I'm making Iomg happen in June and this story will deal with before and after what happened in that episode. I know its not a terribly original plot point but im hoping ill be able to tell the story in an original way. I wanted to have at least this prologue out before the New year but…..yeah. Review please especially if it happens to be an inspiring quote
