Summary: I think this is how Fanning the Flames should have ended.

'blah'thinking

Outside of the classroom, at Danny's locker, Danny and Sam are talking about Ember's attack on the two of them.

"It was weird…I mean-is still is weird…all that hormonal stuff and all, wasn't it?" says Danny still very nervous.

"Yah, she did a good job at distracting you, though." Sam replies as they begin to walk outside.

"I was really out of it. It felt weird though…almost like it was really happening."

Sam was shocked at this and started to blush. "Well Danny, she was powerful. I guess that's just part of the spell."

"I guess…" Danny wanted to change the subject. "Are your parents still in Columbus?" 'Please say yes'

"Oh yeah, I almost forgot. Do you want to come over tonight…you can stay all weekend, if you want?" 'Say yes,

Say yes'

"Yah, do you still have the clothes I left there last time? Then I don't have to go home."

Sam pretends to think about it even though she knows that she keeps them in her drawer, for safe keeping of

course. "Yah, I think so…yah. They're in my d-um-room…somewhere I think. Last time I checked."

Danny put his arm out for her to wrap hers around.

"Shall we?"

Sam smiled and linked her arm with his.

"We shall."

Sam and Danny are sitting on Sam's bed. They are both silently dreaming until Sam comes out of her trance. She

notices Danny and smiles to herself, making a mental. 'He looks so cute, wait-did I just say that!'

"Danny, Danny!"

Danny comes out of his trance.

"Sorry Sam, I'm just distracted since all of that 'Ember' stuff."

Sam nods with agreement, "Yah, me too."

"Sam? Can I ask you a question?"

"Ya' just did." Danny glared at her. "Sure…"

"What did you mean earlier? You said that it was hard because part of you really liked it…"

"…….."

"What part did you like? The me liking you part or the-"He was interrupted by Sam nodding at his question. "You

liked me liking you?"

"Well…I just thought that I had feelings for you, but-"

"-but…you don't" it was weird but she thought that he sounded disappointed by that.

"I didn't say that." Sam smiles and continues. "I was going to say that since you don't love me back-"

"Two things. One, who ever said that I didn't love you? Two, you love me?"

Sam smiles at him slyly "Maybe…but wait-you love me back?" Danny nods. "I never would have thought…I

Mean…wow" Sam smiles.

"…Yah…wow is right…"

Danny thoughtfully walks over to the window and turns his back to Sam in order to look out it. Sam walks over to

him. She reaches around him and puts her arms on his chest. Sam sets her head on his shoulder and looks at the

side of his head.

"What now? Sam it's just-what now? I can't even keep my straight and now, the butterflies fluttering around in my

Stomach is scarier than any ghost I've ever fought. Sam, I've loved you for so long…it feels unreal. I never

thought I'd live to see this day."

"Me neither, me neither"
