I'm The New Freddie Chapter 12
ire-launch icarly in style
"Hey." Freddie said as she stood in his door way. She was wearing a white dress that had pink flowers on it.
"Hi. I know that you like this kind of stuff and I wanted to show you that I can change for you."
"Listen Jen, I don't really think this can work out. I have other plans for the dance anyway.' Freddie said.
She looked at the floor and then back up at him. Her eyes were filled with regret. "Give me a chance." She said. Freddie looked at her with as much compassion as he could muster. He knew that he would forgive her.
"Listen Jen, about what happened at the mall and the swimming pool and stuff. I mean that was my choice too. You didn't make me and I don't hold it against you. I just can't go to the dance with you."
"Because your mom doesn't want you too?" she said.
"Because I don't want to. Sorry Jen. You should go now." He said. She stood in front of him for a minute and then walked away.
Freddie waited for his mom to come out of her room. She was driving him and Carly and Sam to the dance. He heard a knock at the door and opened it.
"Hey Freddie." Sam said, "Get your camera."
"Why?" He asked.
"We are going to film the dance for the icarly humongous return to the web spectacular show." Carly said as she entered wearing a nice black dress. Freddie looked at her for a moment. "You look nice". She smiled and Sam said, "What am I, chopped liver."
"You look nice to Sam." They both said in unison. Freddie turned and went to get his camera. As he reentered the room his mom came out and saw him.
"Freddie what is that?" She asked pointing to the camera.
"It's my camera. We are going to film the dance for icarly." He said.
"So you are done with Jen?" Ms. Benson asked.
"Yeah. I am." Freddie said looking at Carly with a smile.
"Okay then you can film your little web show. Let's go the dance starts soon.' They head out and leave for the dance.
Freddie held the camera as they entered the dance in the school gym. Carly and Sam were in front of him saying hello to people and finding the best spot to start recording from. They chose the center of the dance floor because it had the best light. Carly and Sam got situated standing facing Freddie and the camera. He turned on the camera and said "5,4,3,2,1,"
Carly said an ecstatic, "Hello web viewers!"
Sam said, "Carly where are we? This isn't our studio!"
"I know Sam. This is the school dance. We are here recording the dance for our special live re-launch spectacular that is happening at a special time on Sunday night at 8pm."
"A re-launch of icarly? That's the best news I've gotten all week, especially since I failed that math test this week" Sam said.
"You should have studied more Sam and I am hoping our viewers are as excited as you about our re-launch on Sunday night at 8pm only on ."
"? That's a website I haven't checked in a while. I should go there tonight to get exclusive dance pictures and brand new blog entries." Sam said.
"Guess what viewers? The entire icarly team is back. Freddie, give the people a wave." Carly said. Freddie waves in front of the camera and he turns around to film dancing students. Gibby is dancing around trying to impress people and it is not working. The principle is standing watching everything and then the most shocking thing of all.
"Is that your mom and Spencer dancing?" Sam asks. Freddie turns the camera on Carly to see her horrified look and then turns to look at his mom dancing with Spencer. Spencer looks very uncomfortable but he is making a go of it for Carly and Freddie.
Freddie, Sam, Carly and Spencer enter Carly's apartment after Ms. Benson goes into her own. Ms. Benson gave Freddie an hour to hang out and talk with Sam and Carly since it was only 10.
"So what was it like dancing with Ms. Benson?' Sam asked.
"I'd rather not talk about it." Spencer said. "But do you guys want to see the final version of that sculpture I have been working on?" He asked. The three nod and Spencer goes to his room quickly. He returns with a sculpture made of paper Mache that features the heads of Carly, Sam and Freddie. Freddie's has been taped back on with a large amount of clear packing tape. The three stare at it for a second. They look at their larger than life heads smiling back at them.
"It is cool." Carly offered first.
"Yeah. I like it Spencer. Although why is my hair straight?" Sam asked.
"It was late." Spencer said.
"Why was I decapitated?" Freddie asked.
"Well it was after the mall incident and I was mad at you." Spencer explained.
"I see." Freddie said.
Spencer goes to the kitchen to get some food and Carly sits on the couch. "So when should we start planning icarly's re-launch?" she asked.
"It sounds like you and Sam already did. Great idea by the way." Freddie said sitting next to her.
"Thanks. We figured as long as we were going to get dressed up we might as well film it for icarly. At least Sam was all for that. I was looking forward to the dancing and it was nice." Carly said looking at Freddie and then holding his hand.
"Okay. I think I am going to go barf now." Sam said.
"So are we dating now?" Freddie asked.
"I don't know. Maybe we could give it a try after we get icarly re-launched." Carly said. Freddie leaned over and gave her a kiss on the cheek and said, "Thanks for always being here for me Carly. You are the best friend someone could ask for."
It was Sunday night at 7:56 pm. Carly and Sam were prepping for icarly and Freddie was getting the tech side prepped. He looked at them as they went over their exercises and thought about the past month or so. He wondered if the trouble of being different and hanging out with new people was worth it.
"Okay, we're ready Freddie." Carly said. Freddie looked at her and started the countdown to a renewed icarly and a renewed friendship with his two best friends. He smiled and thought, Definitely.
