(A/N: Ok, I didn't get many reviews for my last chapter. Do you guys want me to keep this story up? I think 10 reviews wouldn't be to much to ask for. Sorry it's been a while but I had writers block.)

Disclaimer: I still don't own Danny Phantom, does anyone out there think I do?

Family is always there

Chapter 11: Mr. Galen

Danny flew them into Sams room in his house. He set Sam down on her bed then turned human again. "So have fun?"

"Yea, now I think I'll go to sleep. Good night Danny, you're a much better dancer then I thought." Sam kissed him on the cheek.

"I told you I was, but just for that I think I'll have to sleep in here to annoy you." Danny stretched out on the floor, "Good night."

"Danny! Get up!"

"I'm asleep." He said rolling over.

"Fine" Sam got into bed and drifted off to sleep.

Sometime after they had both fallen asleep Danny awoke, at first he thought it was his ghost since but when nothing happened he shrugged it off and was about to turn over when he heard it. It was a soft sound but defiantly someone crying. Danny stood up, it was Sam crying in he sleep.

Danny walked over to her, he put his hand on her shoulder. Then feeling bold got into bed with her wrapping her in his arms. She kept crying lightly, "Danny?"

"Sorry if I woke you Sam."

"No, I wasn't asleep" She rolled over so she was face to face with him.

"Sam, what's wrong?" He gently brushed a few strands of hair from her face.

"Christmas is soon, and my parents are gone. I really miss them. I miss my house and my room." She started to cry again.

Danny sometimes forgot what Sam had been threw, she always tried to be strong but she was still just Sam. "Come on." Danny got up and Sam followed.

"Where are we going?" She asked as Danny flew them out of his house and threw the cold. Sam tried to get closer to Danny and away from the cold. In minutes Danny began to descend, right into Sams house.

They landed in her room, it was just how she had left it weeks before. "What are we doing here?"

"You said you missed your room so, I just thought maybe you'd want to sleep here tonight?"

"Thanks" Sam climbed into her bed, the comforting feeling of her sheets and the smells she had known so long filled her. "Uh Danny? Would you mind sleeping with me?"

"What! Sam, you mean…" Danny had gone red with embarrassment.

"No wait, I didn't mean it like that." She hid her blush under the covers, "I just meant would you sleep next to me?"

"Uh, yea" Danny slowly got under the covers with Sam. Danny wrapped his arms around Sam and pulled her close.

Sam rested her head on Dannys shoulder, she felt safe with him. She wasn't going to tell him that she hadn't gotten a full nights sleep in a week because she kept waking up crying, he didn't need anything else to worry about.

Danny breathed in the scent of Sams hair, he loved Sam so much and he couldn't stand to see her crying like that.

Danny was awoken by his cell phone ringing, he sat up and answered. "Hello?"

"Danny! where are you and Sam?" Jazz sounded worried, and ready to kill his human half if he didn't have a good explanation.

"Uh, were both at Sams house." Here it comes

"Why?" Jazz hadn't yelled at him, maybe it was his lucky day.

"Sam missed her house, so I bought her over here."

"Alright, just make sure you get to school on time ok?"

"Ok, are you sure you're not mad?" It was really unlike Jazz to not get mad at him for pulling a stunt like this, of course he was glad she wasn't yelling but it seemed odd.

"Danny, I know you did it for Sam." Jazz hung up before Danny could ask her anything else.

Danny looked at Sam, she was curled in a small ball but was smiling. He bent down, "Time to wake up Sam."

"No, I want to sleep more"

"Ok, you do really look cute in those pink pajamas."

"What!" Sam shot up looking at herself in horror. "Hey! Danny that's not nice"

"I have to get you up for school." He stood up, "I'm going to take a shower"

"Alright." Sam said going to her closet. She knew Danny would need some clothes when he got out and she had just the thing. She found them and set them out side the door for when Danny got out.

Danny stepped out of the shower, he had forgotten he didn't have any clean clothes. He opened the door to ask Sam if she had any cloths he could borrow when he saw she was way ahead of him. He bent down and picked up a note on some cloths.

I got these for you a while ago, hope you like them.

Danny picked up the clothes and changed into them. Danny looked at him self in the mirror, You've got to be kidding me.

Danny walked down into the dinning room where Sam was sitting eating a bowl of cereal, there was a second bowl next to her for Danny. Sam smiled when she saw him, "Like you clothes?"

"I'll get you for this." Danny said sitting down next to Sam. He was wearing black cargo pants with far to many zippers, a black sleeveless shirt with a green jacket over it. Danny liked it but didn't think it would be a good idea to tell Sam that.

When they finished Danny cleaned up while Sam went to take a shower. He finished cleaning fast and went back to Sams room, the water was still running and Danny was tempted to take a quick peek inside.

Sam stepped out of the shower just as Danny decided one little look couldn't hurt. Danny tried to hid the fact that he had been about to spy on her in less the fully clothed states. Five minutes later they were on their way to school, They walked and made it to school with out a minute to spare.

Tucker saw them as they entered, "Hey Sam hey Danny. WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU!"

"Sam got me some new clothes." Danny said hiding a blush.

"Come on Danny you look good, right Tucker?" Sam gave Tucker a glare when he didn't answer.

"Yea, he looks great." Tucker said before quickly leaving. Sam ran after him, she was yelling something like 'get back here! What did you call me? Your dead!'

Danny shook his head as he watched them race down the hall. "Hello Mr. Fenton. It appears your friend was fine with out you last night" Said Mr. Galen, the substitute history teacher.

"Yea" Danny wasn't going to add that she almost wasn't because he had kept him after.

"Interesting clothes you are wearing today."

"Thanks, Sam got them for me." Danny said absently looking threw this locker for a book, he had already forgotten he was talking to a teacher.

"You must have gotten up fairly early to have gone and gotten them at her house."

"I slept over" Danny realized what he had said a second to late.

"I thought she was living at your house, and with no parents who was watching you?" He walked away leaving Danny to stair after him.

Nothing else happened till Danny and Sam got to history class. Mr. Galen was sitting behind the desk when they entered, "Hello Miss Manson, It appears that even without Mr. Fenton you managed to survive the walk home."

The smugness in his voice made Sam really mad, "No thanks to you, I was attacked and could have been killed!"

"Really? The chances of that happening are so slim I can not, in good faith, believe it. If I'm not mistaken did Daniel not sleep over at your house unsupervised? I feel I must speak with you parents about this Daniel."

"Fine, but they are out of town right now."

"I'm sure, I did look into it and I'm sorry to hear of your parents Miss Manson. I knew your father some time ago, I just didn't want to believe it. I would like you to stay after so I can speak with you." He went back to his work making it clear they were to take their seats.

When class was over Danny grabbed Sams hand and gave it a light squeeze, "I'll wait outside for you."

"You don't have to."

"But I will" Danny walked out with the last of the students.

Sam walked over to Mr. Galen's desk, "You wanted to see me?"

"Yes, I want to know exactly what is happening between you and Danny?"

"Nothing, he's just a friend helping me."

"I do not believe your parents would approve of you and him, and before you say you aren't, don't. I am sure you two are involved in a relationship."

"Your not my parents."

"But they did not approve of Daniel did they?"

"No, but he's a great guy!"

"I'm sure. I believe you were the care of your uncle Earl? Who has gone missing? This has allowed you to stay at Dannys house, has it not?"

"What are you trying to say?"

"That I believe Danny is unstable, he may have been behind your parents death, and more likely Earls disappearance. I know this might scare you and if you would like me to contact the police for you and have them come investigate I would be more then happy to."

"WHAT! That's crazy, Dannys done nothing but help me." Sam stormed out of the room and past Danny, right out the front doors of the school and down the street. She didn't stop till she was a block from school, she knew Danny had been following her so she sat down to let him catch up with her.

Sam burst from the classroom and straight past Danny, he followed as she ran out the front door and down the street, he finally caught her nearly a block from school. "Sam, what's wrong?"

"It took you long enough to catch up with me, you're as out of shape as ever."

"Sam, you're avoiding the question. What happened?"

"He said my parents wouldn't like me and you being together, he said he thought you might have been behind my parents death and Earls disappearance."

Danny's eyes flashed green and he turned around to go have a talk with Mr. Galen. "Danny don't, I don't want you fighting my fights anymore."

"Sam, he had no right to say that stuff, and blame me for those things either."

"I know, I just don't want to deal with it now. Can we go some place quiet?"

"Alright, lets go" Danny picked Sam up and flew them to the lighthouse. No one was ever around so he didn't have to worry about being seen.

Technus sat playing a game of free cell in Tuckers PDA. He had tried several times to hack out but it wasn't possible. Given, Tucker had threatened to delete him after he called Sam a slow meat puppet. Tucker had gotten blamed for it but in Technus's mind it was worth it. "I must get out of here! How can I destroy the ghost boy trapped in this device! I can't even make phone calls!"

Danny and Sam sat on the lighthouses roof for hours, not talking just sitting. Danny was worried about Sam but he knew she wanted to handle this herself. Danny wasn't sure how long they were sitting there before the snow started again, "I think we should head back now."

"Yea, I'm sorry I made you come out here."

"That's alright." Danny grabbed Sam around the waist and took to the air.

As the flew over the town they heard a shout, "Hey!"

Danny turned around and saw Valerie on her sled chasing after them, "Oh great"

"Put her down ghost boy!" She said firering an ecto canon at them, Danny had to dive to avoid it.

"Danny are you alright?"

"Fine, but if she hits me it won't be good."

Valerie fired at them again, "You aren't kidnapping her you dead freak!"

"I'm not kidnapping her! And if you hit me we'll both crash!"

Valerie didn't listen and kept up her attack, one of the blast clipped Dannys arm and he started to fall, Danny tuned over so when they crashed he took the blunt of the impact. "You alright Sam?"

"Yea, you?"

"I've been better" Danny saw Valerie coming at them with no where for him to hid, "Shit"

"Go, I'll be fine"

"Thanks" Danny took off and headed for some trees, he phased threw most trying to put some distance between him and Valerie.

Sam stood up as Valerie stopped next to her, "You alright?"

"Fine, thanks Val." Sam forgot she wasn't supposed to know it was Valerie.

"How'd you know it was me? Does Danny and Tucker know?"

"Yes, they both know, we, uh, saw some of your weapons in your backpack?"

"Ug, I can't believe I was so careless, how long have you guys known?"

"Months."

"And you guys still were friends with me?"

"Of course."

"You ok? I'm glad I got to you before Phantom kidnapped you."

"I don't think he was trying to kidnap me"

"Wait, are you falling for Phantom? What about Danny?"

"No, I mean "

"Tell me later I have to go find Phantom" Valerie shot off towards the trees.

"This won't end well." Sam got up and called a taxi to take her back to Dannys house.

She was sitting in his kitchen twenty minutes later when Danny flew in, he turned human and sat down, "Man Valerie wasn't giving up."

"Uh, Danny, I kind of let it slip that we knew Valerie was the ghost hunter."

"Well that isn't so bad."

"She also thinks I have a crush on Phantom."

"Well you kind of do."

"Yea but she doesn't know your Phantom. It could get messy."

"Don't worry, I'm sure it will work out."

"I guess" Sam looked down at the cold cup of coffee in her hands, she just knew this was going t cause problems.

"Hey, why don't we go see a movie or something? Take your mind off of things?"

"Sure" Danny pulled out a set of car keys and she grabbed them, "I'm driving."

When they got to the theater, which took some time because of Sams driving, which Danny was sure was going to give him white hair even when he was human, Sam insisted on paying for everything. They saw, baby battery, a story about a doll that kills. A total rip off but funny anyways.

When Jazz got how she found a note from Danny saying he and Sam had gone to see a movie and they'd be home soon. Jazz was glad they were both getting a chance to act like normal kids but she was a little worried about how far they had taken things.

Jazz had just set down to work on some last minute things for the dance when someone knocked, rather loudly, on the front door. When Jazz opened it she saw a man a little taller then herself dressed in a three-piece suit. "Uh, can I help you?"

"Yes, I am Mr. Galen. I knew Samantha's parents and am subbing at Casper High. I wish to speak with Mr. and Mrs. Fenton."

"I'm sorry but my parents are out." Jazz really didn't like this guy, there was just something about him.

"Very well, I will speak to you. I believe your younger brother, Daniel, has been having a relationship with Samantha. I do not believe her parents would approve of her staying here or associating with him. I believe he has been having a negative influence on her. They have both been absent many times with out a good excuse, and keep passing off the worst excuses I have ever heard."

"I'm sure that there was a good reason if they weren't in class, and I don't think it's really your business. I also don't know who you think you are to say Sams parents wouldn't want her staying here. Where were you during their funeral? Because we were here helping her threw it. And if you think you can just show up now and start saying things like this then you are sadly mistaken."

"I believed from reading your school record that you were more stable then your brother, I can see I was wrong, you are just as low class as he is."

Before Jazz could answer Sam walked up behind her. "How dare you call them low class! They're my family! They've always been there for me, I can't believe how pig headed your acting! You're the one who's a substitute teacher."

"This is what I am talking about. You have been in the company of these urchins for far to long."

"Urchins! Where do you get off calling them urchins! Its people like you who give high society a bad name."

"I can see this will get me no where. You will come with me, I'll have a lawyer draw up papers for it later." He reached in to grab Sam. Another hand grabbed his arm just as he was about to pull Sam out.

No one had noticed Danny standing just inside the door. He gave Mr. Galen a little shove that sent him stumbling backwards. "This is private property sir. If you come back with out permission I will have you arrested."

"You little street urchin! How dare you speak to me like that!" He stood up and walked briskly down the street.

Danny closed the door then turned around, Sam and Jazz were staring at him, "What?"

Jazz smiled, "Nothing, that was just really cool of you little bro." She gave Danny a hug.

"Uh, thanks. I think"

"Come on you two, I bet your hungry. By the way Danny, where did you get that outfit?'

"Oh, I needed so clean clothes at Sams house and she had these."

"I thought you guys said that you each had a pair of clothes at the others houses?"

Danny smacked his head, he had forgotten about those. He wore Sams crazy outfit for nothing. He caught Sam smiling out of the corner of his eye, he'd remember this.
