"Valerie you gotta get down here!" Sam screamed into the phone.
She ran towards where she'd heard the scream, why was she moving so slow? Sam cursed her legs, she was naturally fast but they seemed to be giving out on her. Finally she made it to the scene, Skulker was dangling Danny and the minute he caught sight of her he tossed him right at her.
Sam was hurdled back as Danny's body hit her. He landed on top of her and when she opened her eyes she saw blood forming all around her. It wasn't her blood . Sam shrieked as she jumbled to get Danny off of her. When he finally rolled off, the large opening in his chest was revealed. Sam shreiked again as she stared down at his lifeless body.
"This is what you wanted girl!" Laughed the mechanical monster. "This is what you wanted!"
Sam screamed as she woke up sweating and breathing hard. Tears were running down her face. She looked around frantically and realized she was safe in her bed.
"A dream Sam, only a dream." She whispered trying to calm herself.
But she wasn't comforted at all.Sam reached over to her nightstand and snatched up her black cordless phone. She took in a deep breath and punched in the numbers to Danny's cell phone.
Danny heard the annoying beeping of his cell phone. He was so tired, who would dare wake him, but then again if someone was calling at four in the morning they must've had a good reason.
He let out a sigh and answered it. "Hello,"
"Danny." Sam said quietly in a scared voice on the other end.
He noted her tone and cleared his throat as worry over took him. "Sam, what's wrong?"
"Nothing Danny, I just, I don't know."
"Sam something's up, you can tell me."
"It sounds stupid now that I think about it." She said trying to get out of an explantion.
"Sam it's ok, there's a reason why you called now instead of telling me in three hours. So spill it."He demanded gently.
"Ok, well I had a nightmare.You died Danny, because of me. It was my fault. Just like today, just like it."Sam explained her voice cracking.
Danny slouched while sitting on the edge of his bed. He blew a stray lock of raven hair out of his eyes as he collected his thoughts. "Sam you don't need to think about that. Yeah today was a close call, but that happens and it'll happen again."
"But..." She protested.
"It'll never be your fault, even if you wished it to Desire, it will never be your fault."
"But I'm the one who made you this way."
"No, I am. I walked into the portal and I turned it on, and I made myself into a ghost. Not you. Now say it."
"Say what?" She asked confused.
"Say it isn't your fault."
"It's not my fault." Sam whispered.
"Louder." He coaxed.
"It's, it's not my fault." Sam said her voice a little louder but not by much.
"Come on Sam where's your confidence?"
"It's not my fault Danny." Sam shouted.
"Perfect." Danny smiled as he appeared in front of her and changed his ghost form to his human form.
Sam jumped a little but she smiled at him.She got up and gave him a hug. "I was worried about you. I always am."
"That's ok I need someone to worry for me." He smirked as he looked down at the goth. She was truly beautiful, in her dark gray spaghetti strap tank top with a few bats on it and a pair of black pajama pants that were purposely torn on the bottom for a more gothic look.It made him for a second feel unworthy in her presence, with his dirty clothes he'd worn today that had a blood stain on the shoulder.
"Sam it's late you should go back to sleep." Danny prompted as he eyed the clock.
"There's no way I could sleep again, not after that horrible dream." She said shaking her head.
"Well nothing's going to happen now. Besides it was just a dream."
"It could happen."
"Oh don't be such a little kid." He sighed picking her up and putting her into her bed.
"Hey who made you the parent?" She demanded trying to hide her smile.
"Well one of us has to be responsible."
"That's my job Danny."
"You've been laid off." He smirked standing above her. "I'm taking your place till we find somebody better."
"Your a scab." She gasped then a seductive smile crossed her face."I find that attractive." She cooed as she kneeled closer to him.
"Ewww."
"Not that kind of scab you idiot." She laughed and then she pulled him into a kiss.
"I knew that." He defended himself when she pulled away. "So I'm an idiot am I?"
"Well..."
Suddenly a knocking came to her door. "Sam? Sam is there someone in there with you?" Demanded Mr.Manson angrily.
"Oh damn my dad." Sam whispered looking at Danny.
He nodded and changed into Danny Phantom. "See ya tomorrow." He mouthed but before he took off she leaped up and gave him another kiss.
"Sam?"Growled her dad.
Danny took off and Sam jumped under her covers just as her dad opened the door angrily. "Sam why didn't you answer me?"
"Huh." Sam yawned fakely. "What's wrong dad?" She asked pulling off the groggy look perfectly.
"Oh sorry honey did I wake you?" She nodded. "I thought I heard a boy in here."
"Dad your hearing things. Can I go back to sleep?"
"Sure Sam." He said looking around then shutting the door. Yeah Sam should be an actress.
OoOoOoO
Sam dragged her feet into school tiredly as she made her way to her locker. She had dark circles under her eyes, after Danny left she couldn't get to sleep she'd been too excited.
"Morning." Danny greeted happily.
Sam shut her locker yawned and gave him a half smile. "How are you so awake?"
"I'm used to not sleeping. What with the ghost hunting and all."
"Glad to hear you tricked your body into thinking it's getting the proper amount of sleep." She responded sarcastically.
"Hey comes in handy for me." He smiled. "I'm not usually a morning person though."
"Yeah why are you so happy?"
"Should I be depressed?" He asked with a frown. "Fine. The world sucks and life is an awful joke.We all are dying slowly and painfully." He joked.
Sam sighed. "Your weird."
"So are you."Danny pointed out.
"This is true." She agreed.
"So anyway Sam I was thinking about last night and..." Danny began but Sam put a finger to his lips.
"Nothing needs to be said. It'll just ruin it." Sam smiled and took his hand. Danny nodded and the two walked down the hall together.
Valerie and Tucker who'd been watching shared a smiled. "So I'd say mission complete." Valerie announced as they came out from behind the trash can.
"Yeah, didn't think it would happen this fast." Tucker said, and then he sighed. "Well I guess I'll see you in Math then."
"Wait Tucker, do you I dont know, maybe want to catch a movie tonight?" Valerie asked.
"Sure. Only if you let me walk you to class." Tucker answered.
"I'd be honored." Valerie smiled as they linked arms and walked down the hall together.
Yay I finished this one, finally. I still have more incomplete ones. Thanks for reading and reviewing!
