iFilm Freddie
Summary: Freddie's A/V club holds a film competition and Freddie sees this opportunity as a dream come true as he plans to film the Greatest Superhero Story ever. SEDDIE elements
A/N: I really shouldn't start any more stories or the rest of the stories I am working on will have their updates slow to a crawl. Also insanely, I want to work on a "Sam sells her soul" story, but after I wrote the first chapter I felt it was too dark, and for my own sake I am currently figuring out a way to tone down the plot before I go with that one as well.
Disclaimer: I don't own iCarly, if I did, I'd jump the shark and add too many Seddie moments
Prologue
In the alternate dimension filled with people that look suspiciously like people that Freddie know…
"Hey Cass." Cassandra Claire, the girl being called looked up. She was sitting alone in the cafeteria table rereading her favorite Edgar Allan Poe book. The boy who said the greeting sat down on the opposite side of the table. He adjusted his glasses that were a little too round and a little too big, pulled his fingers through his short, brown, and slightly messy hair and pulled his laptop from his backpack onto the table.
"Hey Mike" Michael Valerian, a guy that normally sat at the 'popularity-challenged' table, waved hi back feebly. Cassandra was the only girl in the entire school who talked to him. Even though she wore black lipstick, black make-up, and in general just looked like a gothic character right out of movie 'The Craft,' Michael didn't care. She was the girl of his dreams, and today he will prove it.
"DoyouwantogooutwithmeFridaynight?" Yup, today Michael will finally go on a real date with a real girl, the girl-next-door, Cassie. She had always been sort of a loner in her entire life and no guys really approached her intentionally. Michael never understood why. Cassie was extremely beautiful. You just had to look past all of the goth.
"No thank you."
…wait … wait …No thank you… No thank you! What kind of answer is that?! That's what you say when someone offers you a piece of gum! Ugh!
*SLAM* (A/N: That would be Michael slamming his head into the table)
"Can I at least ask why?!"
Cassie flipped a page in her book before replying, "Because Michael. It would be too bland, too predictable, and too boring. I mean, it makes sense when you think about logically, but relationships aren't based on logic. They're based on feelings and chemistry, which we don't have any of."
*CRASH* (A/N: That would be Michael's heart shattering in tiny little pieces)
"So what kind of guy would you date… hypothetically?"
"A vampire…"
"A vampire?!"
"Or an alien, probably a Saiyan, you could date both a brunette and a blonde at the same time. Though I remember that makes me angry that only guys can become Super Saiyans, why isn't there a girl Super Saiyan. Now that would be cool."
Michael could only blink in confusion. "Wait… what. Those things don't even exist in real life."
"Which is why I spend my whole life reading… Life is boring. Vampires, aliens, magic, and secret societies; Now that's cool. Mike, you're a nice guy and a good friend, but a relationship with you would… well, boring. I'm sorry. Let's just stay friends." Michael laid his head sideways on the table once again feeling like the loser he normally was. The day could only get worse if SHE had seen his humiliating moment. Alexis Lenaea, the girl who's teased and mocked him since he known what the words "tease" and "mock" even meant. You have to appreciate life's small favors…
Oh crap, there's Alex right there at the table next to us… and she's walking towards me. Ah, man she's first going to smirk, and then do a quick glance back and forth between Cassie and me and then open her mouth and…
In the iCarly studio (real world):
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!" Sam was grabbing her sides, she was laughing so hard. Freddie could only sigh in futility. In her hands, was Freddie's new movie script. A movie Freddie was hoping to produce in secret to compete for the A/V club's film competition. It was his dream to write and direct movies. At first he wasn't sure, but after managing iCarly, Freddie was surer than ever that it was time to take his glory to silver screen. Unfortunately, it never mattered how much Freddie ever wanted something to be a secret, SAM always found out.
"HAHAHAHAHA!!! Oh!!! The pain!!! Freddie, did you really write this?!" Freddie lunged for his script and Sam deftly dodged. She was still breathing hard with a laugh in-between every two gasps.
"Let me guess Freddie. This story is semi-autobiographical. Did you forget doofus that I was there when you first asked Carly out! Oh, this is rich! HAHAHAHAHAHA!"
"Sam, give that back please. I'm editing it for a final draft. After that, I've got to do auditions for the roles." Freddie hated that he had to say 'please' to Sam. It was very unlike him, but Sam was holding, what Freddie felt like, was a small piece of his soul. A piece, that he didn't dare share with anyone; it was his fantasy world. Typical Sam of course discovers that the story was influenced by his real life experiences.
"Oh no! I definitely have to share this with Carly first! She's going to enjoy this!" Freddie started to panic and did one final lunge in futility at the girl who always knew how to hit him where it hurts.
"No please! Give…"
In Michael's World, after school:
"…it back Alex!" Alex held in her hand a small book, with its individual pages dog-eared at the corners to show their use. On it's cover, written with colored pencil in rainbow colors was the words 'Michael's Diary.'
Alex tossed back her blonde curly hair, before allowing herself a little laugh.
"You were going to give her your diary?! Sweet, but come on Michael. Even you should know that your diary's a bit much for a first date." Alex ran into an alley and jumped onto a fire escape ladder. Michael gave up at that point. There was no way he could chase her down. She was stronger and faster than him.
"I'll hold onto this Michael! You have to stop looking back reflectively at your life and focus on going forward. Forget Cassandra, you don't need her."
"What would you know?! When do you ever care about anything other than yourself?" Alex stared into Michael's eyes, and for a second he thought she might say something, and then Alex just shrugged and made her way to the roof of the building with Michael only able to follow with his eyes from the ground.
"Crazy, pushy, insane girl that eats way too much for a girl of her figure…" Michael grumbled as he sulked out of the alley. He was interrupted when a man with bright red hair and… (he couldn't believe it) crimson red eyes ran into right into him. They both fell down in the middle of the alley, with the redheaded man breathing extensively.
"Please, I'm dying, and they're chasing… Please hide me." Michael shook his head frantically as he was paralyzed with fear." He barely made out a figure at the end of the alleyway. Michael waved a hand for help, but he saw the figure pull out a gun.
Ohmigodohmigodohmigod I'm gonna die… and without ever having kissed a girl too…
An earsplitting bang, and the redheaded man collapsed on top of Michael. The figure disappeared and Michael was about to scream, when he noticed that the redheaded man was disintegrating into… dust. Michael sneezed (which was really disgusting he realized) as the man disappeared with no trace… Michael stood up and now he couldn't even see the dust of the person who just died on top of him. Shivering he walked out of the alley, just hoping to get home.
On the way home, Michael slipped and was about to fall but grabbed a signpost reflexively. He heard a crunching sound, and looked over at his hand. The metal bar he had just grabbed now resembled like a squeezed toothpaste bottle, rather than a straight pole.
What's happening to me…
A/N: This is more of an experiment in writing. I have a pretty good idea where I want to go with this story, but I'll be honest when I say I'm skeptical on how well this fanfic is going to be received considering that half of it is a symbolic world of iCarly.
A/N: So please review! Let me know what you think! (P.S. Alex, alternate world Sam, is an awesome character, trust me… she does get super powers!)
