I don't own DP much to my dislike...On with the story!

Chapter 6: The Box Ghost

"Right here!" Jazz yelled as she held the Fenton Thermos up and aimed it at Vlad. She knew from experience that the thermos wouldn't suck Danny in as long as he remained in his human form. Vlad too knew this, because he narrowed his eyes and scowled at her.

"You're trapped Plasmius. Either way, I win. Now, give me back my baby brother!" Jazz yelled, determination and rage apparent in her voice. She did not expect Vlad to smirk at her, so when he did, she got even more enraged and opened the thermos.

"Wait! Jazz! It's in reverse!" Sam and Tucker yelled, but it was too late. Jazz had opened the thermos and ghost after ghost flew out and into the air. They darted towards the broken window and escaped into the evening sky.

"Whoops!" Jazz exclaimed, but she had no time to fix her mistake because Vlad blasted an Ecto-beam from his eyes and destroyed the Fenton Thermos.

"Hahaha! I told you I would win!" Vlad triumphantly said. The room went silent as the realization flooded over the group: Vlad won. It was only when everyone was silent that Vlad removed the ectoplasm from Danny's mouth. He wanted to show them and rub it in their faces that he'd won and he had all the control. "Any last words Daniel?"

But Danny didn't even have a chance to answer, because it was then the Box Ghost yelled, "BEWARE! For I, the Box Ghost, have escaped from this cylindrical tube and I will return for my revenge!" The Box Ghost yelled another 'beware' before flying out the broken window to follow the other ghosts. Vlad rolled his eyes.

"For the love of—Jazz! Why did you do that? Now I'm going to have to track all those ghosts down and catch them all over again. Not to mention Skulker will totally beat me up when he's bothered by the Box Ghost for the hundredth time this week!" Danny yelled before realizing that he was being held by his shirt collar by Vlad ten feet in the air. "What's going on here?"

"NO!" Vlad screamed. When Vlad had turned his attention away from the group, Sam took her wrist blaster and shot the remote out from Vlad's hand. She caught it in her own outstretched hands and pressed the 'Release' button. Danny's restraints dissolved. "Danny! Everyone knows! Go Ghost and beat him up so we can go home!" Sam yelled.

Danny didn't even hesitate before smirking and letting the white rings run over his body. When he blinked, his once baby blue eyes turned to glowing neon green. He screamed, "Cover your ears!" and let loose the most powerful Ghostly Wail he could muster.

Vlad couldn't brace himself fast enough and was blown into the wall on the far side of the room. Before he could retaliate, Danny flew to him and grabbed him by his collar. He spun him around and around before releasing him. Danny blasted him with his Ecto-rays and forced Vlad back out the window and into the woods. Danny was sure he'd seen the black rings form when he'd thrown Vlad out of the mansion, and he smiled at himself as he dusted off his hands and floated to the ground.

"So, what exactly is going on?" Danny asked. He didn't know if he should be afraid, happy, or anything now that he'd transformed in front of his parents and Valerie. Plus, he didn't know how he'd gotten there or why Vlad was holding him. So he stuck with confusion.

Before anyone could say anything, Jazz cleared her throat and Tucker said, "Sam, isn't there something you promised to do when he regained his memory?" Sam looked at Tucker, slightly embarrassed before she slowly walked her way up to Danny.

Dani floated down to Jack and Maddie and began giggling along with them as they realized what was about to happen. Danny looked at Sam nervously before asking, "What are yo—" but he didn't have a chance to finish because Sam jumped into Danny, wrapping her legs around his waist and arms around his neck as she pressed her lips into his. When she'd jumped into the unsuspecting Danny, he'd lost his balance and fell backwards, but their lips were still pressed together.

After what felt like hours, Sam let go of Danny, gasping for air. "You lost your memory and in the process of trying to save you, we had to tell your parents about your secret. We also decided that Dani was our daughter. And when we were captured by Plasmius, Jazz and Dani told Val your so she could help," Sam explained.

"Um, so, why did you, uh, kiss me?" Danny asked dumbstruck. He was still dazed and he felt his face begin to burn.

"Because you asked me to kiss you when you recovered your memory during your memory loss period," Sam rapidly answered. Her face was also blushing, but she was more comfortable with what was going on than Danny was. After a few minutes of awkward silence, Sam then said, "O.k., we'll tell you the full story back home, so get in the Specter Speeder with Tucker."

Danny still didn't move, so Sam motioned to Dani to help him. Tucker helped Dani get Danny in the Speeder and buckle his seat belt before Dani flew back to Jazz and Val and loaded into the Fenton RV. Sam got in the driver's seat and put the Speeder in drive. Tucker reached under his seat and grabbed another PDA. He kissed it before turning it on and started playing a random video game. He put his headphones in and zoned out. Sam was following the Fenton RV from above and was trying to figure out how to turn the radio on.

All of a sudden, Danny screamed, "WE HAVE A DAUGHTER?!" Sam jumped in her seat, causing the Specter Speeder to jolt upwards. She shook her head before quickly readjusting the Speeder's course.

She took a deep breath, keeping her eyes on the road, before telling Danny, "Yes. During one of the days that you couldn't remember anything, Dani decided to drop by. When we explained everything to you about your life and Dani explained that she was your clone, you asked her why you two called each other cousins. When we questioned this, you told us that because she came from your DNA it made her your daughter. When we began to wonder why she was a girl, I realized that your hair and my hair are basically the same color. Thus, when I showed everyone this, we assumed that Vlad accidentally took my hair too thinking it was yours and indirectly gave Dani a mom; me."

"Whoa," Danny said, eyes growing wide as he gazed off into the distance. A few minutes later, he yawned and began adjusting his seat.

"You know, Danny, you can change back and go to sleep. We'll explain everything when we get back. Besides, you're still in shock," Sam said when she saw Danny yawn.

"But who will help you stay up? The drive from Wisconsin to Amity Park at normal speeds will take a while," Danny said as he transformed back to his human form.

"I drank a few energy drinks before I got in the driver's seat. I'll be fine," Sam said as she smiled at the sleepy boy next to her.

"Well, who will keep you company?" Danny asked while fighting to keep his eyes open. He didn't know why he was so tired but he knew that the idea of sleep was welcoming. Danny drifted off to sleep, the last thing he saw being Sam sadly smiling at him.

Danny awoke in his bed. He was wearing his usual day clothes. When he opened his eyes, he saw that his parents, Jazz, Dani, and his two best friends were anxiously and fearfully looking at him.

"What? Why is everyone looking at me like that?" Danny curiously asked. The night before was a blur but he had a feeling that they were worried about something. Not to mention, his whole body was sore and they were all intensely staring at him.

Before Danny's mind could jump to any conclusions, Sam sat down next to him and asked, "What's your name?"

Danny gave her a bewildered look before he answered, "Danny Fenton, duh. Why?"

Sam ignored his question and sarcasm as she asked, "What's your parents' names?"

"Jack and Maddie Fenton."

"How old are you?"

"Fourteen."

"Who am I?"

"You're Sam. You're my best friend," Danny answered, slightly blushing at this last part. Sam smiled at him, but it was slightly forced. Danny saw this and asked, "What's wrong? Is everything o.k.?"

"Why don't we go downstairs," Tucker said. Everyone nodded as they followed Sam down to the living room. Dani grabbed Danny by his pant leg and dragged him behind her. When they arrived, Dani led Danny to the couch and motioned for him to sit on it. He did, and Dani climbed onto his lap.

Before Danny could ask any more questions, the door bell rang. Jazz looked down at her watch and said, "Perfect timing!" while walking to the door and letting Valerie come in. She held a box of donuts in her hands and set them on the foot stool in front of Danny.

Maddie and Jack went into the kitchen and returned with coffee mugs, all steaming hot from the fresh coffee they held. They handed them out, saying a quick "Good morning" to Valerie. By now, Danny was ticked off and scared. He didn't like not knowing what was happening around him so he screamed, "What the heck is going on? Will someone please let me in on this weirdness?"

Everyone looked at each other before Tucker stepped forward and said, "Let's start from the very beginning." As Tucker began the story, Sam found herself inching towards the outskirts of the circle. She didn't know why, but she had a sick feeling in her stomach and she was fiercely blinking her eyes. She continued to inch her way to the kitchen door, and when she finally got there, she slipped through it.

It took hours for everyone to complete telling Danny about the last few days' adventures. He was shocked. When they allowed Danny to ask questions, he took a few minutes to look around the room. He furrowed his eyebrows before asking, "Where's Sam?"

Nobody knew, so when no one could answer Danny's question he jumped up, totally forgetting that Dani was on his lap. Lucky for him, Dani had been awake, so she merely hovered in the air before gently allowing gravity to take hold again. Before she could yell at him, Danny's white rings formed and he jumped through the ceiling and flew all the way up to the Ops Center.

"Hey Dani, want to do some spying on your folks for us?" Tucker asked with a mischievous grin on his face. Dani returned the grin with one of her own before Tucker added, "Put this mini video camera on your forehead and stay invisible. Don't let them know you're there, o.k.?"

Dani's answer was the flash of a bright white light from her own white rings and her taking the mini camera to place on her forehead. She turned invisible and flew up, following Danny's lead. Tucker walked over to the Fenton's TV and synced his PDA with it. Before they knew it, they had a clear image of what Dani was seeing. She was hiding behind a box of weapons in the Ops Center staring at her parents.

"This is so wrong," Jazz said as she took a seat in front of the TV.

"Extremely," Maddie agreed as she sat on the couch with her husband. Tucker sat next to Val, who was sitting next to Jazz on the floor, and turned the volume up on the mic so they would be able to hear the audio clearly.

Up in the Ops Center, Danny had found Sam. She was leaning against the window, gazing through their hometown. He could barely make out the dried tears on Sam's face before she wiped them away.

"Hey, what's wrong? Why'd you come up here?" Danny quietly asked, not wanting to startle her. He changed back to his human form and slowly approached Sam, who had wrapped her own arms around her shivering body.

"Nothing's wrong! What would give you that idea? I just needed some fresh air," Sam timidly said, not wanting to admit that she'd been crying.

"If you needed fresh air, then why did you come up here?" Danny asked, teasing a little. He gave Sam his infamous lopsided grin and smiled even wider when Sam returned it with a small smirk of her own.

"I just needed to think about some stuff. I'm sorry you had to leave everyone to come find me. I guess I just wanted to be alone so I could calm my nerves. You mean a lot to me Danny, and I've been worrying myself sick about you for the past few days."

"It's o.k. You're my best friend Sam and nothing could change that. Ever. I'll always be here for you," Danny said. He expected Sam to smile again, but instead she frowned. Danny had made his way next to her, but she slowly started to inch away.

"What? What did I say?" Danny nervously asked.

"Nothing. It's just, I don't want to be your best friend anymore Danny," Sam said. Back in the Fenton's living room, the air was filled with gasps. Dani, who was still hiding behind a crate of weapons, stared in disbelief as her mouth stood agape.

Everyone was even more shocked when Danny nodded his head, allowing a small smile to show as he said, "I know. I don't want to only be best friends anymore either. I want us to be more than that."

Sam looked at Danny, eyes glistening from the tears she forbade to run down her cheeks. She couldn't move, but she didn't have to. Danny's arms were around her in seconds, bringing her into a tight embrace. They didn't kiss, but they didn't need to. After a moment, Sam wrapped her arms around Danny, finally allowing her tears to flow freely. Danny lifted Sam bridal style and sat down with his back leaning against the window they'd just been gazing out. He held Sam in his lap and comforted her.

The shocked friends and family were now smiling and the girls were even shedding a few happy tears for Sam. Their looks were quickly replaced with embarrassed ones when Danny looked straight to where Dani was hiding, eyes glowing green, and mouthed the sentence 'Give us a sec?'

Dani's eyes widened, as did her gaping mouth, before she turned visible and then intangible, flying back down to the living room. When she had rejoined the group she exclaimed, "How the heck did he know I was there? And I better not get punished for this!"

When Dani had exclaimed this, everyone burst into joyous laughter. Danny had surprised them all, but they had a feeling that this was a good thing. Dani gave each of them confused looks before returning to her human form and walked to the foot stool, grabbing a donut and turning the TV to normal cartoons.

"I can't wait to see what happens next," Tucker said sounding wiser than his age would leave people to believe. Everyone nodded before turning back to the TV to watch along with the young halfa. They knew that there was still a lot that had to be explained, especially when it came to Danny's parents, but they also knew they could handle it.

Soon, Danny and Sam phased through the ceiling, holding hands, and joined the others. No one said a thing as they appeared until they all groaned in unison at the voice they heard.

"BEWARE! For I, the Box Ghost, have come to enact my revenge!" The Box Ghost yelled as he floated through the kitchen, cardboard boxes following closely behind.

As both halfa's transformed, Jazz said with a smile, "I guess every thing's back to normal; for the most part."

The End

Gotta love that annoying Box Ghost! I hope you enjoyed this story. It really evolved into something far better than I had planned for it. I didn't even realize the Box Ghost was going to 'save' Danny until I wrote it out that way! I laughed so hard...Until next time Phans! Love, crazyreader11
