I do not own iCarly.
Hey people. Here's another one-shot. I dont mind this one...but it's not one of the better ones. OOC. Hehe, enjoy.
9.) Zoo: Freddie's POV
"Oh come on Sam, don't throw the popcorn in the penguin area!" I yelled at Sam as she turned and devilishly smiled at me, as if to taunt me. Which was exactly what she was doing.
"The penguins are hungry." she said leaning over the bar and looking at them, a bag in popcorn in one hand and my hand in the other.
"I don't think penguins eat popcorn." I state as a matter of fact. Like on cue, the penguin waddled over, bent over and picked up the piece of buttery popped corn, swallowing it.
"Hah!" Sam said smiling in my face. I rolled his eyes.
"Whatever, let's go look at the tigers." I said trying to get her to a more blocked off cage so she wouldn't throw anymore food at the poor creatures. We'd probably get kicked out if she kept doing that.
"Tigers!" she smiled like a small child, excitingly pulling my hand to go toward the sign that read tigers and had an arrow pointing down a path. I was pulled unwillingly down the path but I was smiling at how childish Sam was being. Maybe I would buy her an ice cream later. She was so cute the way her excited childish grin was plastered on her face.
When we made it to the tiger's area, Sam bolted up the thick glass window. There were two tigers sitting on the inside sleeping. One was in the tree, arms dangling, tail whipping around. Another one was laying lazily on a rock, completely motionless. If I didn't say so myself, he could play it off as being dead. Probably bored to death. Hah! Freddie you crack yourself up sometimes.
Sam stared at them in wonder and I came up beside her, looking inside too. The two unmoving tigers didn't do much and I became bored immediately. I pulled away to walk away but suddenly Sam grabbed my hand, pulling my back. "Freddie look at that one!" she exclaimed in an excited voice.
I flushed as a couple with their two kids gave us an odd look, wondering what two 16 year old teenagers were doing at the zoo on a Friday afternoon when we were supposed to be at school. My stomach turned uneasily as I thought about the consequences that would await us when we would come back. Sam had easily convinced me to skip school today just so I could take her to the zoo. I rolled my eyes to myself. She hadn't done much to convince me though. Oh why did I have to fall for her seemingly effortless attempt to seduce me. She had succeeded without resistance from me. I remember it now…
Flashback
I pressed the button to the elevator, waiting for it to make it to my floor. I finally heard the ding and it opened. I expected it to open empty but as I looked up I saw a familiar blonde standing there. Usually Sam didn't come to the Bushwell Plaza before school, usually meeting me and Carly at school.
"Sam?" I said looking at her. She grinned widely at me and stepped forward, grabbing the front of my polo shirt and forcing me into the elevator.
"Just the boyfriend I was looking for." she said as I steadied myself and turned to her. The doors dinged and began to shut.
"Shouldn't we wait for Carly?" I asked her.
"No…" she said, that evil grin still plastered on her face. I was starting to get nervous. "'cause we're not going to school today."
My mouth dropped open. "Que?" I asked.
"Yeah you heard me, we're not going to school. Comprende?" she answered, mocking my fluency in Spanish.
"Then where exactly are we going?"
"The zoo." she said excitedly.
"Oh no." I opposed. "We are not skipping school to go hang out at the zoo."
"Oh yes we are." she said getting closer to me. "Come on Freddie, have some fun for once."
"Won't the school know we're gone?"
"I'll ask Carly to call in for us…come on Freddie just for today, we never do anything alone anymore." she begged, her bottom lip jutting out.
"Oh no, I am not falling for that." I said raising an eyebrow. The door dinged to open on the bottom floor. I began to walk out but Sam pulled me back, and hit the button to go to the top floor again. "What the-"
"Please…" she said wrapping her arms around my neck, getting very close to me. I lost my breath and put my hands on her waist instinctively. I could feel her hand running through my hair, as she stood up on her tip-toes and brought her lips to mine. I went along with it as we had a mini make out session in the elevator which seemed to be moving slower then usual.
She pulled away enough to put her mouth to my ear and whisper, "please Freddie…just this once?" Her breath made a shiver run down my spine. My head nodded and I stared straight ahead dazed. She pulled away, her arms unraveling from around my neck so now they were resting on my chest. She smiled at me and I couldn't help but glare at her.
"That's not fair, you took advantage of me." I said. She leaned forward and kissed me again.
"So?" she said, obviously not caring. Then she looked at my angry face and her eyes softened. "Come on, you'll ease up once we get to the zoo." she smiled widely at that thought. I rolled my eyes.
"Ey, what have I gotten myself into." I whispered under my breath as we pulled apart, when the doors opened. She grabbed my hand and led us out of the apartment complex and to the bus station.
End Flashback
…So now here we were. I saw nothing as I looked in the caged tiger area. Suddenly Sam was tugging at my blue polo shirt. I looked harder, following her gaze. Then I saw the third tiger. It was a large graceful white tiger, coming out from behind the rock. My eyes widened slightly at it's size. It was so much bigger then the other ones. It was the only tiger that was moving right now. It moved with grace and a slight lazy lope.
I admired it's beauty for a while and stared at it in wonder. It stopped, licked it's paw and suddenly rolled on the ground. Me and Sam turned to each other at the same time. We smiled and in unison said, "awe". He must have heard us since his ears perked up and he got up, sauntering over to the window. It got close to the window, staring at Sam. I looked closely at the dangerous creature, just on the other side of the window.
In a way the tiger reminded me of Sam. Beautiful to look at, different then the others, but dangerous if you get to close.
The Tiger sat on the ground in front of the glass and looked at us. It's striped white and black tail was whipping around as it cocked it's head and looked at us. Sam put her hand up to the window, as if she wanted to touch it. I rolled my eyes, but smiled. She looked so innocent right now. Both her and the tiger.
"Awe, it's so cute." Sam said staring at the enormous beast.
Suddenly the large beast got up and sauntered over to a different area. My eyes followed the large cat as it walked over to a different part of its living area. I turned back to see that Sam was gone. I panicked a bit and looked the other way to see that Sam had wandered over to the white tiger again. Over to the barred part. All that separated Sam from the tiger was some thick vertical bars and the small wooden fence that was about a foot from the bars that kept kids far from the vicious animal. Sam was leaned up against the fence and had her arm outstretched toward the tiger that was right up against the bars.
"Sam!" I said running over to her. She was inches from touching the tiger. I reached her and suddenly grabbed her by the waist, pulling her from the fence, turning her around and hugging her to me.
"Freddie!" she exclaimed. I expected her to punch me for ruining her moment but she was smiling. "I touched it! I touched the tiger's fur!" I let out a breath of relief.
"That thing could have killed you…it's not like it's a kitten." I lectured. "That's a full grown, jungle cat." I looked at her like she was insane.
"Ah who cares, Fredlumps." she rolled her eyes. "I'm still alive, aren't I?"
I let out a sigh and looked at her raising an eyebrow, still hugging her to my body.
"Sometimes I wonder what I'm going to do with you." I said. "I can't keep up with you." I smiled this time. She looked up at me and smiled. Then she punched me in the arm playfully. I winced.
"Take me or leave me." she grinned. I didn't answer her, I just kissed her. Then we pulled her away. I expected her to say something witty or something, but instead she smiled widely and began running toward the aquarium. I rolled my eyes, letting my empty arms drop and running after her before she did something else reckless.
