Thanks for the great reviews :D. Oh I forgot the previous chapter, but iCarly is not mine. It's Dan Schneider's.
…and suddenly they were in the Shay kitchen. Carly and Sam saw their thirteen year old versions of themselves at the kitchen table discussing about the talent show they filmed that day.
"Hey, that's us," Sam said.
"Yeah, this is where iCarly was born," Carly said, "but wasn't Freddie there too?"
"This is an alternate reality," Mitch explained. "I want to show you something about your best male friend, Freddie,"
"Freddie isn't my best male friend!" Sam replied offended.
"Then who is?" Mitch said and got Sam silenced. "As I said I wanted to show you something about Freddie and the best way to show you something about him is showing you what would have happened if he wasn't there when he used to be there. In this reality Freddie never was your friend, he was nothing more to you than a dorky kid at school and you were nothing more than gossiping girls. He wasn't even in love with Carly"
"We aren't gossiping girls," Carly said offended.
"And who knows?" Mitch said. "Freddie doesn't, let's watch the show and of course they can't hear or see you."
"Hey Sam, do you remember what those people said on the message boards?" younger Carly asked to her friend.
"Yeah," Sam replied while cutting through a ham with a knife.
"Stuff like you guys should upload more videos or when is the next show and we want more?"
"How did we know about these comments?" Carly asked to Mitch. "Freddie told us about it,"
"Your peers told you, including Freddie," Mitch replied. They kept watching 'the show'
"Let's give 'em more," younger Carly said with a smirk on her face.
"Okay, what are we talking about here?" Sam asked confused.
"Doing a web show! Online! Every week!" Carly explained.
"Why?" Sam demanded for more explanation.
"Because," Carly started her explanation. "It could be want we want it to be. No adults who say "You can't do this", "You can't do that,", we can do whatever we want, say whatever we want,"
"You say we gotta do work… and stuff," Sam said.
"Yep, you were," Carly chuckled.
"When you're gonna do a show, you got to prepare for it," younger Carly said.
"Then we're gonna make it your show," Sam said. "You do the work and I'll be your amusing little sidekick. So what is the web show gonna be about?"
"Anything," Carly said. "Something different every week, but for the first show: Kids with bizarre taletns,"
"Ahh, clever," Sam pointed out, "Miss Briggs says nonono, we say yeahyeahyeah,"
"So how should we call our show?" Carly said.
"I dunno," Sam said.
"Well," Carly said. "That might not be a bad idea, iDunno."
"What?" Present Sam said, "iDunno? What about iCarly?"
"Freddie came up with the name, remember?" Carly said.
"Yes," Sam said annoyed, "all because of that puppy love of him," Sam said while rolling her eyes.
"But who's gonna film us," Past Carly said.
"We just hire some idiots from the AV club, like the one across the hallway," Past Sam said.
"Freddie?" Carly said.
"Yeah, that one," Sam replied.
"Well that's it for now," Mitch said, "It's time for a little time travelin'" The kitchen suddenly disappeared.
They were in the studio this time. The first thing Carly and Sam looked for was the Freddie's tech cart. And yes, it was there.
"So, he kept doing iCarly?" Sam asked. "I mean iDunno,"
"Yes, he did," Mitch said, "but you hired him. You paid him twenty bucks, you promised not to wedgie him for a week or Carly had to go to the dance with him,"
"But you said he wasn't in love with me," Carly said.
"True, which made him less a gentleman," Mitch said. "You were nothing more than a status symbol to him."
"That's not Freddie!" Carly exclaimed.
"The Freddie you know is the Freddie you know because he hung out with you and he knew you, because he wanted to know you" Mitch looked to both girls, before looking away and making distance between him and the girls. "Every being is formed by its environment. You're you because of each other, because of Spencer, Gibby, Miss Briggs, but most of all because of Freddie."
"Why Freddie?" Sam asked.
"Just give it a thought," Mitch winked. "Let's continue the show,"
"I want to start with an impression of a cat in a dishwasher," a young female voice emerged from the elevator.
"I told you we were starting with Mexican juggler," another voice presented herself. The elevator opened itself and the two girls came out bickering. Freddie was just putting stuff together.
"Ready in thirty seconds," Freddie said. The girls started to bicker, but unlike the real reality the Freddie in this reality didn't seem to mind. "Fifteen seconds," he said. "Ten seconds," the girls continued bickering. "In five, four, three, two…"
The girls suddenly made up a smile again and started the show, but soon continued bickering, because they couldn't make up their minds about the first video or segment. Freddie took a chair and lifted the camera, waiting for the show to end. The show ended prematurely, because Carly and Sam stormed off fighting again. Freddie turned off the camera and went behind the girls.
"Hey," Freddie said. "Payment!"
"He's such a jerk," Present Carly said.
"What'd you say if we go to the present?" Mitch asked.
"Please," Sam and Carly said, both with a disgusted voice, hoping that their nightmare came to an end. The studio disappeared…
…and appeared back again. But Carly's and Sam's hearts dropped when they saw the terrible state of the studio. It was dark. There were webs everywhere, the tech cart was gone and everything what could be broken was broken.
"What happened?" Carly asked.
"Nothing," Mitch said, "that's exactly what happened. We're still in an alternative reality," this relieved Carly and Sam somehow. "In the real reality Freddie stopped you from bickering by yanking your ponytails and putting a poll on the internet. That's what saved your friendship. In this reality he didn't. The iDunno you saw was the very last. You two split and you were never able to look in each other's eyes for at least fifteen years. Both of you were depressed at first but Carly came over it after a couple of months. Sam moved to Las Vegas as soon as possible and came over it eventually. Carly becomes a teacher at a high school. She at her thirtieth year, she already married twice and she divorced twice. Sam and Freddie had respectively boy-and girlfriends, but neither of them made it longer than two years. Then there was a reunion…"
The studio dissolved again…
