Ok, here's the next chapter to my story, and I promised I would make it longer, so here it goes...please r&r!

Freddy was trying to stop laughing, and gasping for air, he said 'Sorry Posh...it's just...wow, you're really easy to tease!' After Freddy had calmed down, the band got ready to rock for a couple hours of practice. The Battle of the Bands 2004 was only one week away, and everyone was feeling nervous. Even though they had won every competition since they lost to No Vacancy back when they first started, they still felt nervous before every Battle of the Bands.

After practice was over, Posh, Spazzy, Mr. Cool, Tink, Zack Attack, and Blondie all went to their favorite café to hang out.

'So, are you guys ready to party Friday night?' Katie asked. Friday was the day before Battle of the Bands, and the night of her 17th birthday party. Katie was known for throwing the biggest and best parties, and everyone was going to be there.

'Don't worry Posh, I got you the best gift ever. Trust me, it's going to be your favorite,' Freddy said with a smirk on his face. 'I highly doubt that, McGee,' Katie replied. Everyone hung out for a little while longer, then decided to go home and enjoy the rest of their first night of summer. Freddy and Katie said bye to the rest of the gang, and let together. They always walked home together, since they lived across the street from each other.

'So, McGee, wanna come over and hang on the roof? I just bought the new Green Day CD, we can listen to it if you want,' Katie said. Whenever one of them bought a new CD, they hung out on Katie's roof and listened to it together. 'YOU GOT AMERICAN IDIOT?? Awesome, of course I'll come over!' Freddy shouted. He desperately wanted that CD, and now Katie had it. Yep...he was jealous.

They kept walking on the sidewalk. It was already dark out, and hard to see where you were stepping. All of a sudden Katie tripped, but Freddy caught her. For about 2 seconds, they looked in each other's eyes...something clicked in both their minds.

'Uhh, thanks McGee, good reflexes,' Katie said, breaking the silence.

'No problem, it comes from football.' He said with a smirk on his face.

They continued to walk home in silence.

Finally, Katie broke the silence, 'So tell me Freddy, what did you get me for my birthday?'

'No way am I telling you. You're just gonna have to wait.' They reached Katie's house and went on the roof to listen to the CD. After the CD had played, Freddy left to go home and get some sleep. Katie put on her 'Punk' pj's and sat on her bed. What happened? She had a funny feeling in her stomach. Was she falling for Freddy Jones? The boy who every girl wanted but he couldn't keep a serious relationship?

Back at Freddy's house, he was stripping down to his boxer and climbing into his bed. It was already past 1 am and he was beat. Then, the thought of Katie came into his head. Was he falling for Katie? The mind blowing bass player from his band? He couldn't like her...right?

The days flew by and before anyone realized it, it was Friday. The night of Katie's birthday party. It was almost 7. She was already dressed in a red and orange miniskirt with a white fitted tank top that had 'Experience Hendrix' written on the back of it. Everyone she knew was suppose to get there around 7:30, and she was excited.

The first people there were Zack and Summer. They walked in holding hands and went down into the basement, where the party was being held. Within the half hour after Summer and Zack got there, everyone was there. Music was blasting and everyone was dancing and having a great time.

A slow song came on and Katie decided to sit this song out on the couch she had in her basement. Summer was dancing with Zack, her head on his shoulder, as usual. She looked around to see who was dancing with whom, and she noticed she was the only one not dancing with someone. All of a sudden, a familiar voice said, 'You know, it's not right that the birthday girl isn't dancing right now.' It was Freddy. He had come over to sit next to Katie.

'Come on Katie, I'll dance with you.'

'Oh thanks, now all of my fantasies are fulfilled,' she replied with a smirk.

OH MY GOD! FREDDY ASKED ME TO DANCE! Wait...I mean...it's only Freddy...no big deal...it's not like I like him or anything... she thought.

Flashback:

Freddy POV:

Wow, Katie's not dancing with anyone. Maybe I should see if she wants to dance. Well, I mean, what if she says no? I mean...it doesn't matter, it's not like I like her or anything...do I?

End Flashback

Katie rolled her eyes and stood up with Freddy and put her arms around his neck. He put his arms around her waist and they started swaying to the music.

'So Katie, how does it feel to be 17?'

'Freddy, I've been 17 for 2 days now...it doesn't feel any different,' She replied as she laughed. She was doing her flirting giggle...what was she doing? STOP FLIRTING KATIE! WHAT AM I DOING? WHY DO I LIKE HIM NOW?? WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME?

When the song was over, someone shouted 'TRUTH OR DARE!' and everyone began to cheer. Everyone sat in a big circle on the floor, and Summer sat next to Zack. Katie sat down next to Summer, and then, to Katie's surprise, Freddy sat next to her. Her heart skipped a beat when he flung his lazy arm around her shoulder.

'Ok, Natalie, since you came up with the idea, you have to start,' Summer announced.

'Ok ok, fine...hmmm...Zack, truth or dare?'

'Dare,' he answered.

'I dare you to...take off your shirt,' Natalie told him with a lot of 'oh baby!' and 'Go Mooneyham!' from the group of teenagers. After Zack took his shirt of to show off his amazing abs, he put his shirt back on with a bunch of boo's from the girls.

'Alright,' said Zack, 'My turn...Freddy, truth or dare?'

'Dare, dude, did you even have to ask?' Freddy said with a big grin.

'Ok, I dare you to...I don't know, Summer, help me out,' Zack said.

'Ok, I got a good one,' she said and looked at Katie with a smirk, ' I dare you to pick any girl in here, and spend '7 Minutes in Heaven' with them in the closet.'

'Fine!' Freddy said. He stood up and said, 'so, who's gonna be the lucky girl?' Katie tried not to look at him, she really wanted to get picked, but she didn't want it to look like it. 'Katie, let's go!' Freddy said as he grabbed her hand and pulled her into the closet.

When they closed the door and locked it, Freddy and Katie could hear everyone outside going 'OOHHHHHH!!!' and making kissing noises.

'Don't worry Katie, we don't have to do any kissing if you don't want,' Freddy said to her. The closet was so small that they were practically standing chest to chest with each other.

'Are you trying to imply that you want to kiss me?' Katie asked, praying he would say yes.

'Oh Posh, you're so full of yourself,' Freddy said with a grin.

Man, I can't believe Katie isn't flipping out. Wait, does she like me too? Should I try to kiss her? What if she freaks? Should I tell her I like her? Well, there's no time like the present...

'Katie...' Freddy said shyly.

'Hmm?' Katie replied. She was really confused. It wasn't like The Freddy Jones to say something shyly. What was he about to say?

'Can I tell you something?'

'Sure.'

'TIME'S UP YOU GUYS!' Summer screamed as she pounded on the closet door.

'Never mind, it wasn't that important anyways.' Freddy said. But he had to do something. He bent his head down quickly and gave Katie a quick kiss on the lips, then opened to closet door. Katie was flabbergasted.

Ok, how did you like the chapter?? Please R&R!!!!
