Sixth

"How is he doing it?" Freddie frowned, sipping his smoothie as he watched Gibby talking to his fifth girl of the night. "How? How? He's Gibby? What makes him so appealing to hot girls?"

"No idea," Sam said, shaking her head.

"It's frightening," Carly agreed.

"Is it the kaki pants?" Freddie asked, still looking on at the scene as the red head Gibby was talking to handed him a slip of paper that most likely had her phone number on it. "Or the hair? What? What is it?"

"Um, you know, you do have a girlfriend of your own," Sam said irritably, rolling her eyes.

"Oh, yeah, I know," Freddie said quickly. "And you're ten times hotter than any girl Gibby's talked to tonight."

"Smooth save there," Sam said, grabbing his smoothie out of his had and taking a sip of it.

"He's coming back now," Carly said.

"Hey, do you think those corn dogs T-Bo's selling are low-carb?" Gibby asked, taking his seat next to Freddie.

"Why? Need to watch your figure for all these girls you've been chatting up?" Carly grinned.

"Yeah, seriously, what's up with that?" Sam frowned. "I mean, sure, I know girls have had some weird attraction to you before, but this is insane!"

"Oh, it's all thanks to this," Gibby said, pulling a notebook out of his backpack. "It's this book of moves to get girls that Guppy gave to me."

"Guppy?" Freddie repeated. "What?"

"What's wrong with that?" Gibby asked.

"Um, nothing, just that he's your nine-year old little brother," Carly said.

"He just turned ten, thank you," Gibby defended.

"Yeah, that makes it better," Sam scoffed.

"Hey, that kid knows what he's doing," Gibby said. "He's the most popular fourth-grade boy at his elementary school. All the girls always want to share their snacks with him, and they fight over who gets him as their reading partner."

"That's...disturbing," Freddie said. He picked up the notebook and flipped through it. "But still, there's no way this stuff can be getting all these girls to talk to you."

"True chiz," Gibby said. "That book is foolproof."

"No way," Sam said, looking over her boyfriend's shoulder. "No girl is stupid enough to fall for this stuff."

"Seriously," Carly agreed as she craned her neck to see the book. "They'd have to have like, zero brain cells."

"I'm telling you, this book has never failed me once," Gibby said. "You saw that red head I was just talking to? I got her to agree to come with me to my landscaping class with me next Friday night."

"I don't believe it," Freddie said firmly.

"Try it out yourself," Gibby shrugged. "Go up to any girl in here and talk to her using a move from this book."

"Um, in case you've forgotten, Gibby, I'm going out with Sam," Freddie said. "I can't go and hit on girls!"

"You know what," Sam said thoughtfully. "Do it, baby."

"Wait, what?" Freddie frowned.

"Do it," Sam told him. "See if it works."

"No way, I don't want to hit on any girls!" Freddie said.

"Oh come on," Sam said. "You're not actually going to be hitting on them. You're just testing Gibby's insane book here. Besides, we both know it's not going to work. Whichever girl you try this out on will just laugh in your face. It will be just like the old times!"

"I don't know," Freddie said. "Are you sure you won't mind?"

"Freddie, I'm the one telling you to do it," Sam said. "And like I said, it's not going to work anyway!"

"Yes it will," Gibby said.

"Okay, fine, I'll hit on a girl," Freddie sighed in defeat. "But I won't like it!"

"Thank you, baby," Sam smiled.

"There's a girl over there," Carly said, spotting a girl sitting by herself a few tables away from them. "Why don't you try her?"

"Alright," Freddie said. He flipped through the book the book. "What should I try...?"

"Oh, try something from the sixth chapter," Gibby suggested. "That's the good stuff."

"Okay then," Freddie nodded. "I'll try the...lost dog move."

"I can't believe you're letting him go over there and hit on that girl," Carly said to Sam and Freddie went over to the girl's table.

"Carly, relax, she's going to shoot him down," Sam laughed. "Just watch. Oh, look! He's talking!"

"Um, hi," they heard Freddie say, taking a seat across from the girl.

"Um, hello?" the girl said, looking up at the stranger that just sat down with her. "Can I help you?"

"I wish," Freddie sighed. "I've spent all day looking for my dog."

"Is he lost?" the girl asked.

"Yeah," Freddie nodded. "I was walking with him in the park, and then I saw a cat in a tree, so I went to help it down, and when I got back, my dog was gone!"

"That's so sad," the girl said. "I know just how you feel."

"You lost your dog too?" Freddie asked.

"No, I saw a movie about a kid who did," she replied.

"Right," Freddie frowned.

"Well, what was your dog's name?"

"Um...Spot, yeah, Spot," Freddie said quickly. "And I've had him since he was a puppy. He's sort of my best friend. I don't know what I'm going to do if I can't find him."

"Sam," Carly frowned as the three continued to watch the scene. "I-I think it might be working."

"I told you so," Gibby said.

"N-No," Sam shook her head. "That chick's just interested in the dog. You'll see."

"Well maybe I could help you look for your dog," the girl said, scooting her seat closer to Freddie.

"Really? That-That would be great," Freddie said. "And, um, maybe afterwards we could go get some coffee and grab a bite to eat?"

"Sam?" Carly said worriedly. "I don't think she'd interested in just the dog anymore."

"No, just watch," Sam said, though she was now frowning. "She's going to turn him down right now...I think."

"Sure," the girl smiled at Freddie, putting her hand on top of his on the table. "That sounds really fun. You know, you seem like a sweet guy."

"Crab," Sam mumbled standing up. "I'll be back."

"Sam, don't hurt her!" Carly hissed as Sam walked towards the table.

"Um, well, I-I guess,' Freddie said, quickly removing his hand from under her. "But actually, I-"

"Okay, show's over," Sam said firmly glaring at the girl who was far too close to her boyfriend.

"Who are you?" the girl snapped, standing up.

"I'm his girlfriend," Sam said intimidatingly. "So you have about five seconds to grab your smoothie and beat it before I take it pour it all over that nice little white dress you're wearing."

"Sam, don't-" Freddie started.

"Excuse me? His girlfriend?" the girl scoffed. "Please. Him and I were just about to go out and look for his lost dog and then we were gonna go out and get coffee!"

"You're in idiot," Sam said, crossing her arms. "He doesn't have a dog! You just got played using some lame move that a ten-year old came up with!"

"What? That's crazy," the girl said.

"And if you had any common sense," Sam said, stepping closer. "You'd leave now."

"I-But-" she looked at Freddie, but he was just staring at Sam with a grin on his face.

With a huff of indignation, the girl grabbed her smoothie and stormed out.

"Wow, Sam," Freddie said, amused. "I like seeing you all feisty."

"Shut up, nub," Sam snapped.

"Oh come on, you can't be mad a me," Freddie said, rolling his eyes. "You made me hit on her! I was forced!"

"Yeah, well," Sam said, as the couple rejoined Carly and Gibby at their table. "Next time don't listen to me!"

"Got it," Freddie chuckled. "So," Gibby said. "Who was right about the book? Gibby was!"

"I still can't believe that," Carly frowned. "Are girls really that stupid to fall for all that?"

"No, I mean, we wouldn't fall for any of that," Sam pointed out. "But then again, what do I know? Look what I'm dating."

"Hey!" Freddie said.

"I'm telling you, this book is gold," Gibby said proudly. "Now if you'll excuse me, I need to find a date for my bunion scraping next week..."

AN-

Well, if you read my other fic, iStart my life, then you probably already heard this, but if not...I'm leaving for college tomorrow, which means that it's going to be a lot harder for me to update as frequently, seeing as I'll have a heavy course load. THIS DOES NOT MEAN THAT I AM DISCONTINUING THIS STORY, but it does mean that these daily updates won't be going on much longer. I do have quite a few oneshots already written, so I will be updating daily until I run out, but after that, I'm going to have to go back to updating only about once a week. I really appreciate all of you following and supporting this story so much. You guys all really make it a lot easier for me to update! So I'm sorry that the daily updates will be ending soon, but there are still plenty more oneshots to come!

And again, if you have requests, feel free to send them in, but just so everyone knows, as of right now, there are currently 33 requests I have after this one, so just know that if you send me a request, it will get written, but since I take requests in the order that I get them to be fair, it may take some time. I'm not saying this to try and discourage requests, like I said, I love them, and if you have any please send me them! I just wanted to make you all knew to see the request like the day after you send it :)
