"We'd be perfect together!" Freddie exclaimed. "What do I have to do?"

"Just stop being you!" It sounded nasty as soon as it came out of her mouth and Carly was afraid she was turning into Sam… but Freddie just wouldn't give up unless she was harsh with him.

Let's not rush, you're moving way too fast

We can figure it out, we can make this last

WE don't have to be so serious

You need to

Slow down

I'm not goin' anywhere

Slow down

If you care, I need a little time for air

If you just let me breathe

Maybe I'll stick around

If you slow down

Freddie frowned and took a brownie from Spencer. "I'm not giving up."

"Give her time" Spencer said, "I mean, you live across the hall, it's not like she's going anywhere."

Freddie thought about this. Finally it clicked. "Yeah. Thanks Spencer."

I wanna little space, a little less attention

You see it on my face

Don't need an explanation

"You don't deserve Carly! She's the prettiest girl in school and she's way better than you... and nicer!" Freddie yelled on camera to Jake, Carly's crush.

"Freddie! We're trying to do a segment!" Sam yelled back to him.

Carly shook her head. "I can't take this" she said, running down the stairs.

Let's not rush, you're movin' way too fast

We can figure it out, we can make this last

We don't have to be so serious

You need to

Slow down

I'm not goin' anywhere

Slow down

If you care, i need a little time for air

If you just let me breathe

Maybe I'll stick around

If you slow down

"So… we're alone... in the dark…" Freddie suggested.

"Freddie! The last thing I'm thinking about is making out with you right now!" Carly sounded aggravated.

"Fine. Fine." Freddie replied. He could take a hint. He just wasn't going to give up.

Keep callin' - you won't leave me alone

Proclaiming love like it's a joke

Leavin' flowers at my door

Have enough don't need anymore

Believe in what we have right now

Have to slow down

"I made you breakfast" Freddie said shyly at seven o'clock in the morning.

"Freddie! Seriously, don't do that" Carly gave the tray back to him.

"Can I call you later?"

"I'll call you when I'm ready"

"OK" Freddie looked like he understood her. "You're still my friend right?"

"Always. I'm just not ready for a boyfriend."

"Even if it was Jake?"

"OK. I'm just not ready for 'us' yet!"

"When will you be ready?"

"Freddie!"

I'm not goin' anywhere

Slow down

Slow down

I'm not goin' anywhere

Slow down

If you care, I need a little time for air

If you just let me breathe

Maybe I'll stick around

Slow down

I'm not going anywhere

Slow down

If you care I need a little time for air

If you just let me breathe

Maybe I'll stick around

"Carly, I've tried everything."

"And I appreciate it."

"Yeah… Then why won't you kiss me?"

"I did! On the nose!"

"I meant a real kiss!"

"Freddie! Stop asking me!"

Ya have to slow down - yeah

If you just let me breathe

Maybe I'll stick around

Not goin' anywhere

Slow down

If you just let me breathe

Maybe I'll stick around

Not goin' anywhere

Slow down

If you just let me breathe

Maybe I'll stick around

Not goin' anywhere

"Freddie, do you still like me?" Carly asked six months after they had that last conversation.

"I never stopped liking you" Freddie answered truthfully.

"I think I'm ready to try that kiss now" she admitted.

If you slow down

"Really?"

"Are you ready?"

Carly leaned towards him, and he put his arm around her waist.

"I was born ready" he responded closing his eyes...

Fin.
