It's never easy telling your best friend that you're boning his sister. Especially when that best friend has ghost powers and could easily beat your ass even without them.

Sam was sitting in the apartment she and Danny shared, reading a book, when the front door opened and Tucker came barreling in.

"SAM! I need your help!" Tucker said, urgently.

Sam stared at him. "That door was locked." She said. "How the Hell did you get in?"

"I have a key" Tucker answered, nonchalantly.

"We never gave you a key." Sam said.

"I know. I made a copy." He told her.

She stared at him silently for a few seconds and responded. "I'll be angry about that later. What brings you bursting into my place?"

"I'm finally going to tell Danny." Tucker told her.

He didn't need to explain further. Sam knew exactly what he was talking about.

"It's about time." She said. "But Jazz is at her convention, are you going to wait for her to come back?"

Tucker sighed. "No, she wants me to tell him. Alone. She thinks that since I was the one who decided to keep our relationship, I should be the one to do it."

"She just doesn't want to have to deal with Danny nagging her or telling her how nasty he thinks it is." Sam said.

Tucker snorted. "That's true." He recalled talking to Jazz when he had taken her to the airport the previous day. She had told him it would be great if he told Danny about their relationship because he was Danny's best friend. She thought it would be easier coming from him.

"Besides," Jazz had said to him "By the time I get back, he'll have cooled off, and what's the point of both of us getting lectured?"

"Then she gave me a kiss and boarded her flight." Tucker told Sam. "And as soon as she could, she called me and told me she was going to be pissed if I didn't tell Danny by the time he came back."

"Well, it was your decision to keep the relationship a secret, so her insistence that you should tell him because of that makes sense." Sam said. "But you were too much of a Pansy Ass to do it."

"But I know that if I did he'd beat me up and chase me to the ends of the earth!" Tucker told her. "That's why I came here, if you tell him with me, or even are just there when I do, I can use you to stop him!" He told her.

"So you're pretty much using me like a shield." She told him.

"I knew you'd understand!" Tucker said with a grin.

"Oh, I understand alright." Sam said. "I understand you're a damned coward."

"Yeah, yeah." Tucker said waving his hand. "I don't care if I'm a coward, I want to keep on living."

Sam rolled her eyes. "I honestly don't know how he hasn't figured it out, everyone knows about the two of you." She said. "I can't even remember all the times he's nearly walked in on a compromising situation."

"Well this is the same guy we called clueless in high school." Tucker said.

"Good point." Sam said. "Okay, I'll help you."

"Thanks a lot, Sam!" Tucker said, breathing a sigh of relief. "I owe you big time!"

"Yes, you do." She said. "But we'll talk about that later."

Sam sat down on the couch and picked up the book she had been reading

"Danny will be home in about an hour, you want to wait around till then?" She asked him.

"Sure." Tucker told her. "I'll be in the kitchen."

"Okay, just don't eat all of the food." She told him.

"I won't touch any of that vegan crap you seem to think is edible." Tucker said, his voice filled with disgust.

"Don't eat all of the food that's Danny's." Sam said.

"I make no promises." He joked.

Sam sighed and rolled her eyes.

An hour later, Danny walked through the door of the apartment.

"Hi, baby." Danny said, greeting Sam. He walked over to the couch and leaned down to kiss her. "How was your day?" He asked her.

"Oh, nothing to exciting, I just read all day." She said to him "Oh, Tucker is over, he wants to tell you something." She said.

"Okay, I'm just going to run to the bathroom." He said. "He can tell me then."

Sam got up and walked to the kitchen, where Tucker was slumped on the table, surrounded by a bunch of empty containers.

"Tucker, wake up." Sam said shaking him. "Danny's home."

Tucker woke with a start. "Dump the giant vat of nacho cheese, Commodore!"

"Tucker, you're in my living room, not a battle ship." Sam said.

"What?" Tucker said, rubbing his eyes and yawning. "Oh, sorry, I was just dreaming that…"

Sam interrupted him. "I don't care, Danny's home, he's in the bathroom, but will be out soon."

Tucker gulped. "Okay." He said. "Okay I can do this!" He said, but he didn't look so sure.

"You're going to be here with me, right?" Tucker asked

"Of course." Sam said, putting a hand on his shoulder.

Just then, Danny walked into the kitchen "Hey, Tucker. Sam told me you needed to tell me something?" He asked.

Sam turned and looked at Tucker. "Well, bye!" She said, as she ran out of the kitchen.

Tucker sputtered and looked at the doorway she'd just disappeared from.

"Tucker?" Danny asked.

"Um….yes!" Tucker said. "I do have something to tell you!"

"Okay, go ahead." Danny said.

"Okay. But first, you have to promise me you won't get angry." Tucker said.

Danny chuckled. "Okay, I won't get angry."

"No, you have to promise." Tucker said.

"Okay, I promise I won't get mad." Danny said. There was still humor his voice.

"Okay. Well. It's like this." Tucker stopped and took a breath. "I-I'm….I'm…I…"

"Tucker, is everything alright, do you want to sit down?" Danny asked.

"I don't think I can sit." Tucker said 'And it'll just make it all the harder to escape.' Tucker thought to himself. 'Just blurt it out! Just blurt it out just blurt it out!'

Tucker took a breath. "I'm dating Jazz and we're having sex!" He said suddenly.

'Wait! That second part wasn't supposed to be part of it!' Tucker thought to himself.

"What." Danny said. He curled his hands into fists. "What the hell did you just say?"

Tucker gulped and stood up straighter. "I'm dating your sister." He said, his voice wavering slightly as Danny glared at him.

"Tucker, I'm going to give you a seven seconds to start running." Danny growled.

"Aw, come on, man!" He said. "Can't we talk about this?" Tucker asked, desperately.

"Seven." Danny started.

"Danny, please!" Tucker said.

"Six!" Danny counted.

"I would never hurt Jazz, I love her!" Tucker said.

"Tucker, I'm not kidding, you better run if you even want a chance of survival." Danny said. "Five!"

In his desperation, Tucker said something that he shouldn't have, but he was so afraid. "Come on, Danny, Jazz is going to be pissed if you hurt me, I probably wouldn't be able to have to have sex with her in some time and she won't be happy about that!"

"One!" Danny said. He'd taken a step towards Tucker.

"Danny, stop." Sam said, walking into the kitchen.

Tucker stared at her. She was eating a rather large block of tofu, covered in sririacha sauce, on a stick.

"You said you would stay!" He said to her. "And where the Hell did you get that from?" He asked, motioning to the tofu.

"No where." Sam said. She took one more bite from the tofu lollipop and threw it to the side. A cat could be heard yowling from the direction she threw it.

"Danny, you can't kill Tucker, he's your best friend." Sam said. "He and Jazz have been together for the past year, everyone knows about it and it's been pretty obvious they're together" She continued.

"You aren't making me want to kill him any less." Danny said and he turned and glared at Tucker, who just squeaked.

Sam sighed. "Believe me, Danny. He loves her and she loves him. He would never hurt her, he worships the ground she walks on." Sam said.

"I still want to kill him." Danny growled.

"Okay, let me put it this way. If you go and harm Tucker in anyway, or bother him or Jazz about their relationship in any way, or if you try and break them up, I just won't have sex with you." Sam said.

Danny's head whipped towards her. "You can't do that!" He said.

"Watch me." Sam said, crossing her arms.

"Fine." He turned towards Tucker. "I won't bother you or Jazz about the relationship, but that doesn't mean I like it!" Danny said. " And I'll kill you in the most painful way imaginable if you hurt her."

"Oh, you don't have to worry about that!" Tucker said.

"Now get out of my eye sight before I change my mind." Danny said.

"Will do!" Tucker said. With that, he ran out of the apartment.

Danny sighed and ran a hand over his face. "So Jazz and Tucker?" He asked Sam.

She chuckled. "Yeah, believe me, we were just as surprised. I don't know how she puts up with him."

"And they love each other?" Danny asked.

"As much as we love each other." Sam said.

"Well. I don't know about that." Danny said as he pulled her into his arms.

Later that night, Sam and Danny were getting ready for bed.

"Man, am I glad I decided not to hurt Tucker." Danny said. "I don't know how long I could have gone with out having sex with you."

Sam snorted. "Oh come on, Danny, you didn't actually think that I meant that did you?"

"What are you talking about?" Danny asked her.

"Okay. Danny, I'm going to tell you something: Women enjoy sex just as much as men." She said. "Or at the very least, I do. And believe me, I wouldn't have lasted four days without sex!" She said.

"You tricked me!" Danny said.

"For a good cause, I did it to save Tucker's life!" Sam said.

"Wait a second, now that I know that's an empty promice, I can go and kill him!"

"Danny!" Sam said.

"Just maim?" He asked her.

"Danny." Sam said.

"Slightly injure?" He tried.

She gave him a look.

"Fine, but I'm going to give them grief about it. And I'm still kind of annoyed that you would give an empty threat about something like that." He said.

"Okay, how about this, if you promise not to bother them about the relationship, then I'll….I'll.." Sam paused and clicked her tongue as she thought. "I know, I'll go down on you whenever and where ever you want, so long as no one can see."

Danny stared at her and she continued. "I'll do it in the car. I'll do it while we're playing video games."

"So if we're in the middle of an intense game and I just tell you I want you to go down on me, you'll just drop your controller and do it?" He asked her.

"Sure." Sam said.

Danny grinned. "It's a deal."

Sam smiled and nodded. She leaned against the headboard and picked up a book from the bedside table.

A few seconds passed by when Danny called her name. "Sam?"

"Yes, Danny?" She asked, turning towards him.

He gave her a look.

"Oh. Well alright then." Sam said as she slipped down under the covers.
