Disclaimer: I OWN FREDDY!! Nyahahaha! Well, I did earlier when I took a
nap...*pouts* "Let's Get Retarded" belongs to another of my fave bands, Black
Eyed Peas.ü "Head Over Feet" belongs to the great Alanis Morisette, and the
game belongs to me and my friends after we made it one Friday night when we
were all bored and wasted. *cackles evilly*
Author's Notes: you should know I'm just making this up as I go along, so this story has no point whatsoever. Nyahahahaha.ü

"They're so cute together, aren't they?" Nicole asked Zack with a smile as she motioned her head towards Freddy and Katie, who were arguing good- naturedly a little ways away from the dance floor.
Zack followed her gaze and smiled as well. "Katie's been in love with Freddy for as long as I can remember," he stated as she moved her hips in time to the music. He couldn't stop staring at her.
Nicole laughed. "You're a pretty good dancer, Mooneyham," she complimented, her cherry pink lips breaking into a wide grin. "And you told me you couldn't dance!" she added, pretending to look scandalized.
Zack placed his hands on her hips and spun her around so that they were moving simultaneously to the beat. "What can I say," He felt her lean into his chest so that her hair was flying like charged electricity around them. "I lied,"
She laughed again and raised her hands as the music changed to "Lets Get Retarded" by the Black Eyes Peas. "Hold on to your pants, Guitar God, I'm gonna teach you a thing or two about freestyle dancing," Her butt suddenly moved away from him as she twirled and rested her arms on his shoulders, hips moving sinuously in time with the music. She was mouthing the lyrics, "And the base is runnin', runnin' and runnin', runnin'..."
By the time the chorus came everyone was staring at them. Zack was following her as best as he could, but she was a really good dancer. After a while, people were singing the lyrics, egging her on.
Nicole was positively glowing. She was totally in her element. She started moving around the small space that had cleared for her and danced with everyone, trying to get them back to dancing. Katie and Freddy pushed their way through the crowd and Nicole grabbed their hands, laughing.
"Well, dance, you idiots!" she cried. She put Katie's hands on Freddy's shoulders and his on her hips and pushed them so close together that Katie could feel Freddy's heart beating. Satisfied, Nicole went back to dancing with Zack.
Katie looked up at Freddy's face, which was grinning back at her. At that moment, Katie couldn't have been happier.
~*~
"Oh my God, that was so wicked." Katie squealed, surprising herself. She had never been one to get excited over little things, and the night had started out so sucky that she was expecting to go home and cry about it all. Surprisingly, she had a great time. Hanging out with Freddy was pretty cool and they ended up dancing for a while then goofing off and getting drunk.
Murmurs of agreement came from the rest of their small group. Freddy was lying down on the car seat opposite her, and Nicole and Zack were in the back, arguing about something. It was obvious that the alcohol was getting to Freddy because he kept laughing at nothing, and truth be told Katie was feeling really light-headed.
"Fine, you take the last cig," Nicole relented.
Zack stared at her then at the unsmoked and slightly bent cigarette in his hand. "Wait, cant we pass by a Seven Eleven or something?"
Nicole started giggling uncontrollably then stopped just as abruptly. "Zack, honey, you're a genius!"
Then Freddy started laughing. "You two are such idiots,"
Zack glared at Freddy. "Shut up, Spaz,"
"You shut it, Zack Attack,"
"You smoke?" Katie suddenly asked. She was listening to the first part of their conversation but completely tuned out the rest.
Everyone started laughing. "Katie, darling, I think you drank one too many of those Purple Poodles," Nicole commented.
"Pink Poodles," and for some reason this sounded so funny that Katie started laughing so hard that she collapsed into insane giggles on the limo floor.
"OK, we're all drunk," Zack said, stating the obvious once Katie took a deep breath so that she wouldn't suffocate herself.
Nicole stopped playing with his lighter and looked up. "My dad's out of town, you guys wanna sleep over? Besides, I don't think any of you want to go home to your mommys and daddys shit-faced,"
Now Freddy started laughing. "Shit-faced!" he repeated and stood up, banging his head on the roof.
Nicole tossed him her tiny blue Nokia cell phone. "Call your 'rents, I'm locking you in our basement and I'm never gonna let you out." And then she cackled.
Once everyone had the all clear from their respective parents, they drove back to Nicole's house, which was on the other side of town.
~*~
"Welcome to Hell," Nicole announced wearily when the car pulled up in front of a huge wrought-iron gate.
"Your house has a name," Katie whispered. It was the first time she'd been to the other girl's house.
"Guys name their cars and even their penises, so my father named his house,"
Katie snorted at hearing the word 'penis'. God, Nicole had such audacity. She was so shameless but it didn't come off as something bad. It was probably just the way she was.
They climbed out and settled in a file on her large marble porch. Nicole punched a few buttons on the tiny electronic dial and the majestic wooden doors opened to reveal a rather thin man in his mid-30s wearing a prim tux.
"Miss Nicole," He greeted, opening the doors completely. The blond girl ushered them into the humongous entrance hall, almost as large as a ballroom.
"Hey sis!" a boy called as he descended the stairs. He had long-ish hair up to his ears and he was wearing a Rasta colored shirt and sweat pants. "Hey," he greeted Katie, grinning.
Damn, he was cute.
"Mitch," Nicole nodded and brushed her hair out of her face. "This is Katie, and you already met Zack and Freddy," She motioned to her companions. "Katie, this is my younger brother, Mitchell." She was placing a strange emphasis on the word 'younger'.
Katie smiled and shook his hand. "Nice to meet you," Thankfully, she managed to remember her manners despite her being totally drunk.
Mitch turned to Zack and Freddy, who were now arguing over who had less dirty shoes. "You guys staying over?" Both nodded. "Cool, you can crash in my room,"
Nicole was now sitting on the floor, trying vainly to take her shoes off. "Mitch, we have, like, 4 guest rooms. Besides, your room is a hazard zone."
"Fine, whatever. I got a new stash if you guys want it," he said to the two boys, jiggling his keys.
His sister eyed him suspiciously. "Where are you going?"
"I'm taking the Spider to Rick's place, be back by tomorrow. Don't worry, Phoenix." He bent down and kissed Nicole on the cheek, then yanked her shoe off. He grinned and slouched off, vanishing into a door off the hall, which Katie assumed lead to their garage.
"The Spider?" Katie asked.
"It's this custom-made bike he had made a few months ago when they vacationed in our summer house in LA," Nicole explained, standing up barefoot. They discussed the sleeping arrangements, and decided on the guys staying in the room that they first did ("You've been here before?" "Yeah, it's really cool here.") and Katie and Nicole staying in a different one because Nicole claimed her room was just as bad as Mitchell's.
Nicole promised to give her the grand tour the next morning and excused herself and Zack so that Katie and Freddy were left alone again in their den.
Freddy flopped onto the couch and turned on the TV. His hair was hanging limply in his eyes and his t-shirt was rumpled and tight in all the right places, showing off his finely toned chest. Katie sat down in a Lazy boy (sp?) and stared at him. His eyes were slightly glazed as he stared lazily at the TV screen, but they were still such a brilliant shade of blue that she couldn't take her eyes off him. His nose was straight and nothing spectacular, but she found the way it turned up a bit in the end adorable. Right now his lips were pressed together and his eyebrows drawn like he was thinking of something serious. Katie wondered what it could be. He had the neatest eyebrows she'd ever seen on a guy, but that was beside the point.
"Kaye," he called, not looking at her.
Snapping out of her daze, she sat up straight and averted her eyes, hoping he hadn't caught her staring at him. "Yeah?" she replied, pretending to be interested in the infomercial that was now flashing on the huge 72" TV screen.
Freddy paused. Katie was his best friend aside from Zack so he could talk to her about anything, right? He'd known her since they were in diapers, for God's sake. She knew more about him than he did, so why was he acting so shy now? "I want your opinion on something,"
Katie could hear her heartbeat echoing in her ears. "Shoot,"
"I like this girl," Freddy began, choosing his words carefully. "But I don't think I stand a chance with her. Do you think I should still ask her out?"
Could this be? Katie hardly dared to hope and chose her words just as carefully. "Well, I think you should go for it," she said, being careful not to look at him lest her eyes give her away. "If you're meant to be together, then she'll like you too. You'll never know, right?"
Freddy finally looked at her, eyes shining. "I'm sure you wanna know who that girl is, huh?"
Katie tried to look indifferent. "If you wanna tell me,"
He opened his mouth again, but Zack chose that moment to make his entrance. "It's 10:30 on a Saturday night, and we're sitting at home!" he yelled.
Nicole came in after him. "What do you guys want to do?" she sat down beside Freddy and rested her head on his shoulder.
Freddy's heart rate went up from 65 to 110.
"Drink," Zack suggested, taking a drag that diminished about half of his cigarette.
Nicole suddenly sat up straight. "I know! we can go swimming!"
Zack and Freddy grinned at each other. "No objections!" they said in unison.
~*~
Fifteen minutes later, Katie was dressed in one of Nicole's swimsuits, a two-piece electric blue one. She was paddling her feet in the water, staring intently at the ripples it caused.
Freddy was holding his breath underwater, wearing Mitchell's blue board shorts. Zack was sitting it the Jacuzzi, smoking to his heart's content.
SPLASH! Nicole cannonballed into the pool, making Katie jump and fall in as well. Freddy finally surfaced and Zack almost burned himself. Nicole's blonde head appeared next to Katie's, taking a huge gulp of air.
"Well, that was fun!" she grinned. She swam back to the side of the pool and took a sip of her margarita. "Whoo, head trip,"
Katie swam over to her and took a sip as well. "Wow, that's pretty strong, I feel like I just swallowed perfume or something,"
Nicole laughed at her. "Don't blame me! Freddy was the one who mixed these!"
The only male in the pool slashed water towards them. "Hey!" he said indignantly.
Nicole looked scandalized. "You got chlorine into my drink!" she screamed. "You asshole!!" She jumped on top of him and they started wrestling.
Katie, feeling like a third wheel, jumped into the Jacuzzi with Zack. "Hey, Zack Attack, you look like you could use someone to talk to," she greeted, smiling warmly. Damn, the alcohol was really getting to her.
Zack smiled slightly. It was fun to watch Katie get drunk. "Really now? And what do you think I need to talk about?" he said, drying his hands on a nearby towel so that he could light another cigarette.
Katie thought about that. "Maybe we could talk about why you're dissing Summer!" she said, her voice overly perky. She wasn't acting very Katie- ish, but she didn't seem aware of that.
The older boy looked up at her, his brown eyes suddenly devoid of any warmth. "I'm what?" he demanded.
"Well, she's been crushing on you for a really long time now, and you don't seem to be doing anything about it," Katie replied, oblivious to the edge in his voice.
Zack took a long drag, thinking about what she was saying. Sure, Katie was drunk, but she was right. He had never really given it much thought. Summer had been shamelessly flirting with him since 7th grade, and he'd always just dismissed it as something she would grow out of. Indeed, over the years she'd thrown away every guy after a mere 3 or 4 weeks. He had no idea that Summer had, well, real feelings towards him.
"You look constipated," Katie commented, then she giggled.
Zack started laughing as well. Might as well think about life some other time and enjoy it for now.
~*~
Freddy grabbed Nicole's shoulders as she jumped on top of him so that her body slammed into his. She wrapped an arm around his neck and pulled him underwater. Freddy took a deep breath and squeezed his eyes shut. When he finally opened them, he found her grinning at him, her hair floating like clouds around her, making her look ethereal.
They finally surfaced. "Are you drunk yet?" Freddy asked her.
Nicole looked back at him from fumbling in her bag, which she'd dropped on the poolside, where they were standing right at that moment. "A little bit," she admitted with a giggle. "How about you?"
Freddy nodded, simultaneously shaking his hair out of his eyes. "I'd laugh my ass off right now if I didn't think I'd drown,"
Nicole laughed. "And a cute ass it is, what a pity," she said sarcastically. She finally fished out what she'd been looking for; a tube of lip-gloss. "This is really good. Tastes like candy, want some?" she offered as she put some on her own lips. She licked them and grinned at him. "Strawberry,"
"A taste?" Freddy clarified, moving closer to her so that his hand rested on her hips and the side of her arm was against his chest.
Nicole turned to look up at him, eyes wide in surprise. Freddy Jones was making a move on her! 'Oh my God, oh my God,' Nicole thought, panicking. Normally, she would be thinking along the lines of 'about time!' but this time it was a bit different. She couldn't and wouldn't deny that she liked Freddy, because she did. Ever since the first moment she saw him, actually. But Katie was in love with him! She couldn't go against a friend! It was, well, wrong! So very, very wrong!
'How could it be wrong when it's him?' a tiny voice in her mind asked as she looked up into his infinite blue eyes.
Before she knew it, he was leaning down towards her, and his soft lips were on hers. It was just like that. The kiss was so pure, so innocent, it was like it didn't even happen. Then she was asking herself, 'Yeah, what could be so wrong about something as perfect as this?'
Freddy pulled back a bit, just so that he could see her reaction. Her eyes were still closed, lips still slightly pink. He pressed his lips together and licked them, savoring the taste. "I'm sorry about that," he muttered.
Her eyes finally opened and she stared at him, suddenly realizing the full gravity of what had happened. Nicole stared down at the water and at her feet, which were visible, then glanced over at the Jacuzzi, where Katie and Zack were still talking. She could feel heat behind her eyes then she forced herself to look at Freddy. "So am I,"
