Disclaimer: (Insert snarky comment here)I don't own iCarly or any of the songs that are mentioned in this fic.
What up its KL21 here with something that's been on my mind for a while. This is my first attempt at a shuffle its only five songs instead of what seems to be the customary ten songs. I have others but it seemed right to end it where I ended it. Please read and tell me what you think.
All of these are related and move in order. I have the song title and artist in bold, and the lyrics from the song that inspired the drabbles are in italics.
Now without further ado I give you a Seddie Story Shuffle. Please Read Enjoy and Review Thank you
Seddie Story Shuffle
When Can I See You Again – Babyface
I hear what saying even if it's not makin sense.
So when can I see you again?
Seven Year old Freddie walks to the playground at the park.
"Be careful to not get sand in your trousers Sweetie." Mrs. Benson yelled from a park bench. "and watch out for ticks hiding on the slide… and stay away from the monkey bars and swings and the jungle gym."
"Okay Mommy." Freddie waved at his mother and noticed that there was no sand in the park aside from the sand box. With all of the restrictions all he could do was go on the merry-go-round or one of those weird spring horse things that rock back and forth. He gets on the merry-go-round and pushes off with his legs. He spins around and around until all of a sudden the ride stops and he flies off and lands on the wood chips. "Ow…" He looks up for the reason his ride was interrupted. His sights fall on a girl with blond hair and blue eyes, smirking at him triumphantly. "Hey why'd you do that?" He asked, surprising himself at how he was able to confront this complete stranger.
"Because I wanna get on." This was all she said as she said as she began to push off and start her ride.
He gained a look of defiance. His mother had always told him that fighting was bad but this was the only enjoyable thing to do and something told him that he shouldn't give it up without a fight. He walks over and sticks out his hand. The merry-go-round jerks to a stop and the girl flies off in a similar fashion. Freddie returns the smirk. She gets up and looks him up and down. He's alright but I can't let this just stand. She thought, pondering how to handle this situation. No, I'm goin to have to make him pay. "What's your name kid?" She asks in a biting tone.
"I'm Fredward but you can call me…" Freddie starts but he's cut off
"Whatever Fred-Nub," Freddie scrunches up his face at his new nickname, "I'm Sam and from this moment on I can either be your new worst nightmare or we can just agree that I own this merry-go-round and our story can end here and we never see each other again." Sam threw her best glare at him.
He pondered her proposal, he generally didn't like confrontation. This time, however, felt different. He felt a charge when she gave him the choice. He liked the feeling. It didn't feel like an ultimatum, it felt more like a challenge. And despite a part of him saying that hit was the worst idea ever thought in the history of mankind (at least as far as he knew), he accepted her challenge. "Fine, when can I see you again?"
Cold – Crossfade
I never really wanted you to go
there's so many things you should have known
I guess for me there's just no hope
I never meant to be so cold
"You know what Sam?" Freddie, now fifteen years of age, was beside himself in anger "I'm sick and tired of the way you treat me."
"What are you talkin about Fred-Nerd?" Sam, who was one year older, feigned ignorance even though she knew why he was upset. She always knew. She was always the cause.
"I've always forgiven you even if you didn't apologize I've always forgiven you." He walks over rot his tech-cart and points at his laptop "You've attacked my most precious of possessions, never apologized, but I've forgiven you," He stepped from behind his cart and pointed to the red stain on his shirt, "You've attacked my clothing but I've always excused this," He raises his sleeve and shows her the bruise on his arm. "You've attacked my body, but I always let it go," He walks over to the door of the iCarly studio and turns to look at Sam now in a shocked silence. "But I never imagined that you would stoop so low as to say anything about my father. That is unforgivable Sam…" He turns and walks out of the studio.
Sam follows as they race past Carly and out of the door to the hallway "Freddie wait."
"Why? This is what you wanted right?" Freddie stares her down in the hallway, "Well you got it, I'm gone, and you will never see me again." Freddie slams his door and Sam is left outside.
"Freddie I never really wanted you to go. I never meant to be so… cold." She continues, in her mind she is just clearing her head but she has no idea that Freddie is just on the other side of the door listening. "This time I pushed too hard and I'm sorry. Every time I told you that I didn't want you around I'm sorry. Freddie I…" The door opens and Sam is face to face with, not only Freddie, but also with the realization that he heard every word that she just said and she couldn't take them back.
"You what Sam?" Freddie felt that he knew what she wanted to say. He knew what he wanted her to say. Their eyes meet.
Sam started to panic. She couldn't say it now, she wasn't ready yet. "I… apologize, I figure it's time for me to start fresh again." Sam smiled hopefully with her eyes pleading to be forgiven.
Freddie smiles at her "See you tomorrow Sam." He turns and goes into his apartment and Sam goes back into her best friend's apartment.
Hate That I Love You – Rihanna ft. Ne-Yo
I just can't let you go,
but I hate that I love you so
Sam walks to Carly's apartment to await her ride to school.
I can't believe that I almost told the dork that I loved him. I can't love him; he's a Freddie and a Sam Puckett can't love a Fredward Benson it's not natural. I mean, I hate everything about him. I hate his dorky laptop, I hate his dorky face, I hate his dorky striped shirts – ugh stripes – I hate his dorky mother, I hate his dorky smirk, I hate his dorky smile, I hate his dorky hair, I hate Fredward Benson and that's the way it should be. But it doesn't feel that way anymore. Why doesn't it feel that way anymore? Why did I apologize? Why did I want him to stay in my life? Why did he want to stay? AGHHH. Why do I love Fredward Benson?
She arrives at the Shay's apartment and goes inside. Meanwhile, across the hall, Freddie got ready to go to school.
I can't believe that I wanted her to say she loves me, I can't believe that I so willingly wanted to stay around for more of her unrelenting torment. She makes every part of my day as difficult as she can. And she does it just because she can. What's worse is that she is the only one who makes me that mad and yet she always does something to make me forget that I was mad at her, or at least, forget what I was upset about. I wonder if she knows she has this power or if she just uses it unconsciously. I hate her. I hate how she makes me feel every emotion and its opposite all at the same time. One day my heart will explode and I'll be gone forever and she probably won't even stick around to clean me off of the walls. Why did fate choose me to be in love with Sam? Fate is one cruel bastard indeed.
He walks across the hall and spots said object of his never-ending pain and bewilderment sitting on the couch.
She looks up and notices him walking in, "Nerd." She greets him
"Demon." He greets back and sits next to her on the couch and sighs in defeat I hate that I love you.

Who knows what
may happen
if we act on
our attraction
Going into their senior year in high school the summer is winding down. Sam had coerced Freddie into taking her back to school shopping with him. Her list consisted of fat cakes, beef jerky, and a new microwave for her locker. After a very spirited ride to the Bushwell Plaza, Sam stopped Freddie outside of the building. She opened her mouth to say something but she couldn't find any words to say what was on her mind. Just tell him, it shouldn't be this hard.
All of a sudden Freddie spoke, "How bout a date Sam?" Sam couldn't believe the bluntness of his request. It was as if he didn't care about what would happen to him or their futures.
Sam did though. Lately it was all she thought about and quite frankly it was the only thing keeping her from asking first. "What if it doesn't work out? What if we find out that we don't like each other that way?" This wasn't entirely true. She knew how she felt about Freddie. She loved him but if he didn't love her back then she would be crushed even if it was just Freddork.
"Sam, just go with me on a date and if it doesn't work out then we will always be friends. Things will go back to how they were; with you hating me and me sadly attempting to fight back." He said this with a smirk so that his face didn't betray his true feelings, which were similar to Sam's.
"What if it works?" Sam asked with a new set of worries.
Freddie shrugged, "I don't know what would happen… but I do know that if it does work then I'll be there with you to face the unknown." He looked over at Sam, "and if it doesn't work then I'll still be there to face the known." She chuckled at this and agreed to a date.
Heaven Sent – Hinder
Never saw the chemistry
that was there with you and me
it's been a long time coming
They lay on the hood of Freddie's car that he had driven up to some secluded area away from the lights of the city. They were free to get lost in their thoughts. School started tomorrow. They would walk into Ridgeway high a new couple. Sure they were both scared. They were scared enough that if they were with anyone else they would have decided that it was better to remain friends. But they weren't giving this up. They had been dating for two weeks and while you couldn't tell from the outside; they've never been happier. They still fought and they still bickered and occasionally Sam would ruin one of Freddie's favorite shirts. But they were happy.
Carly, Valerie, Shannon; none of them could make him feel the way he was feeling now. Jonah, Shane, Pete; all paled in comparison to the way Sam felt about Freddie.
Looking back on their relationship they couldn't see how they never saw what, apparently, everyone else saw. They were in fact perfect for each other. When Sam would get out of control and threaten to beat up strangers Freddie would say something that Sam found dorky or annoying (which was basically anything that he said) and turn Sam's attention to him. Whenever Freddie was feeling gloomy about anything (usually his computers or his mother) Sam would damage something of his or insult him and he would be in a lively argument in no time.
As far as Sam was concerned the chemistry between her and Freddie was the same as normal chemistry. She didn't understand it but it worked and that was all that really mattered.
Freddie interrupts their silence "I wonder how long we've actually felt this way… about each other."
Sam rolls her yes and sighs in frustration at having her peace ruined by nerd talk, "Shut up Benson." And with that she closed her eyes and moved closer to Freddie, resting her head on his shoulder and placing an arm around him. She felt this way for a long time. She's known that Freddie was one of a kind since he accepted her challenge ten years ago.
There you have it my first shuffle. Should there be another. Like I said earlier there were others that I wrote that relate to this story but it felt right to end the story here. If you feel differently please tell me and I'll add the others or even write a whole new set of shuffle drabbles. If you think that I should stay out of this territory then let me know that as well. I don't wanna go around putting up crap and wasting the time of you guys, the readers.
Regardless of whether or not you decide to review (I hope you do) I hope you enjoyed reading this as much as I enjoyed writing it.
Until my next post (or update, depending on reviews) Deuces
