I don't own iCarly. I like this one-shot haha. Go easy on me though, I dont know anything about football :P Well R&R! ENJOY!


11.) Football: Freddie's POV

"Okay the rules are easy." Spencer explained as we huddled around him. We had decided that we were going to play football today. It was random but we were bored. "Well you know…catch the ball, make a touch down and the opposing team tries to stop whoever has the ball."

"Yeah Spence…I think we all know how to play football." Sam said looking at him. I looked over at her, as if to give her a look. She ignored it. "Anyway let's pick teams."

We looked around at each other. We'd invited Gibby and his girlfriend Tasha. Then there was also the usual gang of Spencer, Carly, Sam and me. We had all dressed up just to get into the seriousness of the petty sport that we were playing. Girls wore shorts, a jersey with their last names on the back and the usual black line smeared under their eyes. The guys just wore basketball shorts and jerseys with the same black lines under each eye.

"Girls versus boys?" I questioned. Everyone exchanged glances and finally we all nodded. We all clapped once and separated from our close huddle. The sky was grey and the fog and haze was suffocating me. I could tell it was about to rain soon, but that was Seattle for you. We'd stumbled upon a old recreational football field and had decided to run home and get a football, get dressed and call up Gibby and his girlfriend to ask if they wanted to join us.

The teams weren't that fair at first sight but if you really knew us you could tell they were somewhat even. Sam knew how to play football. She was tough enough to take all of us down and make a touchdown. Carly may be girly but she knew how to play football, growing up with a brother and her dad. She wasn't afraid to get dirty but she was still not as skilled as Sam. Tasha on the other hand…looked clueless and just gazed at Gibby, blowing him kisses. Still I ask myself…HOW!

For the guys team. Spencer, an obvious football fan, probably knew how to play football and had a few tricks up his sleeve. He was also the oldest and tallest of us all, making him a bit harder to take down in a tackle. I liked football. I just wasn't ever into sports, jocks and such. I was a tech producer for iCarly for god sakes. I don't have time for sports. Not that I was ever interested anyway. I've watched football and knew how to play it but I was a bit of a disadvantage. Gibby however wasn't into sports at all, never played football and was too busy waving lovey dovey at his girlfriend. I rolled my eyes, wanting to hurl at their mushy behavior. Beside the fact that Gibby was thick and probably harder to take down, he was clueless.

"Well ladies ready to play?" Spencer said motioning to the ball. "We'll go easy on you." he said a smug smile on his face as he looked at them.

Sam scoffed. "As if. You guys are going down." Suddenly we were getting into our positions. Gibby and Tasha we still in their lovers state, waving and blowing kisses at each other from across the field. Ugh…this was gunna be impossible.

"Gibby!" Sam yelled. "Tasha!" She looked back at me and we both rolled our eyes, being just as annoyed by them as me. We both started laughing as we started mocking them, blowing kisses to each other waving at each other. Sam even batted her eyelashes for added effect. Gibby and Tasha glared at us as we continued to mock them. They walked over to join us.

"Okay! Are we ready to play some foooootbaaaall!" Spencer said as we crouched down. He put his hand on the ball and I stood behind him, ready to catch the ball when he would toss it to me. I felt water land on my neck and I looked up to see that it was raining now, making the dirt change to mud. As I looked up briefly I saw Sam eyeing me, her beautiful blue eyes had fire burning in them. I gulped as she made it perfectly clear that I was her main target to tackle. "Hut!"

The ball flew into my hands. I struggled a bit, not knowing where to go. I saw Spencer run toward our goal, but then Carly was right on his tail. Gibby and Tasha were playfully pushing each other. I started to run when I caught glimpse of Sam who was making a b-line right for me. I honestly tried my hardest to avoid her but before I knew it she was right there. I felt something hit my shin and I fell face first into the mud.

I groaned and pushed up. I spit out grass and looked up to see Sam kneeling right in front of me.

"Come on big boy, is that all you got?" she said in a seductive whisper. I narrowed my eyes at her as she laughed and walked away. Damn that girl. I got up, a small pain shooting through my shin. I didn't let the pain show though, Sam can't see me weak. I'll show her I know how to play rough.

However, it never happened. Each play ended up with me making it halfway before Sam would make me eat grass and mud. I kept hearing her laughing in my mind every time I went down. I was getting tired. I even tried passing it to Spencer. Which didn't work since she usually tackled me before I could even get the ball out of my hands or would just take Spencer down.

"Wow Fredward." Sam said as she sat on my back. I was laying on the ground after she had jumped on my back and I'd lost balance. I huffed as she got close to my ear whispering in it. "I'll go easy on you."

"Sam…" I started as she let out an amused laugh. "it's just luck."

"Oh really?" she said, raising an eyebrow at me. I got up suddenly, and before I could stop her, Sam slid off my back and landed in a pile of mud. I turned around to see her sitting miserably in the mud puddle. Rain poured from the sky soaking everyone. I let out a laugh as she sat there glaring at me.

"Shut up Fredlumps." she retorted at me. I let out a loud laugh. Suddenly she grabbed my ankle and I fell, landing in a mud puddle next to her. Mud splashed up, drenching both of us in mud. I brought my hand up to wipe the mud off my cheek. I looked over at Sam to see mud all over her face. I laughed even harder now and was suddenly cut off when a big lump of mud hit me in the face.

Now it was her turn to laugh. I picked up a handful of mud next to me and launched it at her, hitting her in the face. She gasped and looked down and then up at me. The fire was back in her eyes. Then before I could protect myself she was attacking me.

"Sam, no!" I exclaimed as she landed on me and we rolled around in the mud, fighting for whoever could pin who to the ground. Finally I got too tired to fight back anymore and let Sam pin me in the wet mud. She pinned my hands down and looked into my eyes.

"Give up already?" she challenged. I sighed, not saying anything.

"Guys…do you think we could maybe get back to the game." I heard Carly say. We both looked up. Sam blushed a dark red once she realized everyone was looking at us and the position we were in. She got off of me and I jumped up.

We got into position again. I looked at Sam who still had blush on her face but you could see determination in her eyes. I narrowed them at her, smirking. I was going to get past her this time…hopefully.

"Hut!" Spencer yelled. The ball landed in my hands, I tucked it beside me and began running. I made it halfway before I finally saw Sam coming right for me. I watched her intently. I saw her nearing me and watched as her foot moved outward to trip me. I dodged it by jumping over her foot. I ran faster as I whizzed past her. I glanced back to see her coming toward me. I saw her lurch at me legs again but I took a sharp turn and avoided her. She landed on the ground and I raced toward the end zone.

I was almost there, I could feel my legs getting tired as my goal came closer and closer to me. I almost thought it was a victory until I heard Spencer. "Freddie!" he yelled. Suddenly I felt someone jump on my back. I stumbled a bit, trying to keep my balance as I slowed down. Surprisingly though I didn't fall down. I looked up to see Sam, her arms around my chest and her legs around my waist.

She tried to throw me off balance. I kept running anyway. I felt Sam slipping off of me due to the large amount of mud on me. Suddenly I was free of the blonde headed demon right as I passed over into the end zone. I turned around to Gibby and Spencer cheering loudly. Spencer ran up to me and high five'd me before he lifted me up in a bro hug. Then Gibby ran over and high five'd me too. I laughed and looked back at Sam who was sitting in a puddle pouting. I strolled over to her, cradling the ball. I bent down and smiled at her.

"I'll go easy on you…promise." I kept my smug smile on my face. She glared and pouted. Her lower lip pushed out. I leaned forward and swiftly kissed her on the lips, letting them linger there for a moment. I pulled away to Sam smiling.

"No matter what…mama always wins." she said pinching my cheek. I rolled my eyes but couldn't keep the smile off my face. Suddenly Sam snatched the ball away from me and began running away. I got up stiffly. Man this girl wears me out.
