Dan and Nick own iCarly and Victorious. The songs featured throughout the story belong to the artists, writers, producers and record labels responsible for their release. I just own the characters Lisa, Gina and Chris, Angeles Village, Hungry's Sports Bar And Diner, The Naked Longhorn, Orangefly's, Starcash, SaveHut, Spartan Condoms, Rocketslide and The Taylor-Judge Inn. Any similarity between the original characters and the real-life people they may resemble is coincidental and only meant for entertainment purposes.

This story is a flashback/fantasy/"what if"/future fic, and it focuses on the early stages of Freddie and Trina's relationship, what might have happened if they met before the events of "The Tech Whiz And The Former Grunch", and how that will transpire later on in real life in "The Best Shower Ever" (and in "Whiz/Grunch/Shower/Goth"). Because of the way that this story is set up, when it becomes included in"Whiz/Grunch/Shower/Goth", each of the chapters will be adjusted by the timeframe of when they took place. So some of this will be between the first two chapters and the third of "The Best Shower Ever", and the last part will be placed after the most recent chapter.

"Hey, can I ask you something?" Trina asked Freddie, an iced tea smoothie in her hand, and she was dressed in light gray pants, dark gray boots, and a white and gray vest-like top decorated with watercolor-style flowers.

"Yeah, what's up?" Freddie answered, holding a root beer float-flavored smoothie himself, dressed in a light blue dress shirt with the sleeves rolled up and a black and gray tie, blue jeans and black and white Converses.

"I know it's only been a month or so since it happened, but have you thought what it might have been like if we met again before we ran into each other at Hungry's?"

Just a month before on the Friday before Labor Day, Freddie and Trina had reunited at the restaurant while he was out for lunch and she was on her shift there. Later that night, after some talking and storytelling, the pair had ended up sleeping together, and they had been trying out a relationship with each other since then, and so far, it was working out pretty well, which was made evident by the date they were currently on.

"Actually, I have thought about it a little bit," Freddie said. "I don't know if I've thought about it as much as you, but it did cross my mind."

He quickly reverted back to the thought he had when he and Trina were in the middle of their romp in his shower, which had popped in his head while he was eating her out in the reverse 69 position.

"I know Trina wasn't always who she is now, but still, how the hell could she have passed by so many guys on a consistent basis and not have caught the eye of *somebody*? Damn, as a matter of fact, why didn't I take more time to talk to and pay attention to her? Even with all of her issues, she could've been good for me back then. It would have been a lot better than wasting my time with Carly and Sam. At least Trina actually wants something to do with me."

Freddie had began thinking about what a earlier reunion would have resulted in even further just before he went to bed that night, along with partly kicking himself mentally for not keeping in touch with her more often before ultimately deciding to let it go and instead be grateful for how things had turned out.

Meanwhile, as the pair was walking towards his car, the ex-diva decided to question him about his thoughts on how it would have turned out had they actually reconnected at a earlier point in time.

"So, if we did meet before last month, what do you think might have happened between us?" Trina asked with a slight smile.

"Well, I don't know," Freddie replied. "Maybe we would be in a relationship that's in a deeper stage, maybe we'd be engaged or even married, we might be where we are now, we might just be friends, maybe even friends with benefits, or we might not be dealing with each other at all. For all I know, we could have stayed our old selves, and then I might have had another Sam on my hands."

"You're lucky I'm in strong like with you, because that last part was too far," Trina said after giving Freddie a slight death stare.

"Strong like? Damn, I still have some work to do," Freddie said in a jokingly disappointed manner, which made Trina laugh. "Okay, maybe I went too far by comparing you to Sam, but the bottom line is that we're together now, that's what's important, and I wouldn't change it for anything."

"Nice save," Trina said with a smile.

"It would be if I was just saying it to make you not be angry with me anymore. But I mean it, Trina. The last month or so has been really good, and I'm really glad that we took a chance on each other."

"Not as glad as I am. It's only been a month, but it's been a really great month that we've had together. I think that instead of going to Texas, I should have came to Seattle and tried to find you."

"That could have worked, but then maybe we wouldn't be here."

"True. But do you know where I'd like to be right now?" Trina asked as she wrapped her arms around Freddie's neck.

"Where is that?" Freddie replied with a smile while holding on to Trina's ass.

"Back at one of our places, watching a good movie, show or game, and then maybe I could show you how much I like you in the good way."

"That sounds fun. So is it your apartment, or mine?"

"It doesn't matter. Let's just go home."

The couple then began to kiss, albeit briefly, while they still stood by Freddie's car. Once they broke apart and finally got in, neither one of them wasted time before clicking on their seatbelts, and he was in a mad dash to get the car started. Needless to say, Freddie had more or less turned a stretch of L.A. into his own personal race track as he tried to get himself and Trina back to Angeles Village.

I know it's short, but I wanted to get it started and give a little bit of insight to where this is going. The next chapter will focus heavily on the "what if" in this story, and I plan on getting started on that once the next update to "Got Me A Model" is posted, which will hopefully be sometime soon. Until then, though, good night... or good morning. Later.
