The day rolled on, seeming to see no end. Lancer was done with, and it being a Friday, he let them off with only a worksheet to complete...a fifty question worksheet.

It was last period, and kids were already anxious to leave the school.

"Ms. Darnell? What time is it?" Paulina asked the last period science teacher.

"Paulina, do you have an early dismissal?"

"No...I have a date at six," she said. Dumb blond, didn't even know school ended WAY before then.

Ms. Darnell sighed and continued teaching the science.

"And that is why photosynthesis is one of the major processes a plant must go through," she concluded. Everyone in the room sighed in relief.

"Don't think you're getting off so easy," she said, opening a drawer in her desk.

"I know it's Friday, and some of you-like Paulina-have dates, or something to go to, but you need to learn this. It's more important than most science, I must say." With that, she passed out another sheet of questions. Not only that, but it also had a whole ton of vocab to do.

In all: Sixty questions.

–

"Wow, we got loaded tonight!" Tucker said, putting things away in his locker.
"And it's Friday!" Danny agreed.

"Pssht, I'd agree, besides the fact that this is the only thing keeping me busy for the next two days," Sam said, shutting her locker after putting everything into her octopus bag.

"You mean you're not ghost hunting with us if we need it?" Tucker asked, staring her down.

"Well, yeah I'll do that, but besides that. I mean, it's not like my mom's gonna randomly take me out to some Goth store or something. They're too busy, anyway," she explained. Danny kinda felt bad. He knew Sam would sometimes like being with someone, right?

"I like being alone, though. Better than the 'rents' company," she joked. Tucker laughed. Sam cast a glance at Danny, whose face had gone pale, stomach lurching, blood in his toes.

"Uh-Danny? You okay? You look like Skulker just appeared with ten times the guns," she said. Once again, Tucker laughed.

"Oh, uh...er, yeah, I'm...fine," he managed to stutter out. She crinkled her eyebrow, and was about to talk before a screeching gasp interrupted the conversations everywhere.

"Paulina?" Tucker said.

There sat Paulina, on the floor, in a ball.

"What happened?" People all crowded around her, shouting the same thing.

"Nothing! Leave. Me. Alone," she ordered, her voice crisp and mean. Then, suddenly, she leant into the nearest person, sighs coming from everywhere around the group.

"My pink dress ripped, right before Dash and I's date!" she sobbed, holding a rather large piece of pink material in her manicured nails.

Sam sighed, and spit.

"What a stupid thing to cry ab-"

She didn't get to finish that thought, before Tucker's eyes were filled with love, and he ran over to her, punching-rather ferociously-to Paulina.

"Paulina! My mom can sow!" he said, kneeling beside her.

"Geek? Are you sure?" she said, drying her eyes.
"Yes!" he said, almost not able to contain the excitement.

Excitement which was tampered, now.

"Oh, Paulina. It's okay. My mom can sow way better than that techno-geek's mom," Dash said, pulling his girlfriend up and taking the material from him.

"I won't look at the beautiful dress, I promise. I'll take you home with me, and you can give it to my mom. Alone." Then, he turned daggers on Tucker.

"Get away from my girlfriend, dude. Times your next beating by a million," he said, pointing his index finger while holding Paulina in his arms.

By now, all the buses left, for the rest of the kids dismissed everyone else as 'absent'.

Of course.

So, Danny, Sam, and Tucker, who all had no one to call, decided to walk home.

"I'm gonna text my mom, tell her I'll be home late," Danny said, blushing at the word 'text'. Sam and Tucker nodded, not caring about the punishment that was to come for them not telling their parents where they were.

"So. It's a Friday night, where to?" Tucker said, ignoring the Paulina situation, and on the upside, making the mood a bit brighter.

–

Turns out, they went to the Fenton's house anyway. The top of the roof was perfect for gazing at the nighttime sky, which it already was. They ate at Danny's house, and waited for the moonlight to shine onto the seats they put up there. Sam on the end, then Danny, and then Tucker.

Suddenly, a call was heard from downstairs.

"Tucker! Your mom wants you home now," Maddie said. Danny's stomach fell.

"See ya, Tuck. Good luck with the homework," he said. Tucker held up the one minute sign, and ran downstairs.

Minutes later, he came back smiling.

"After a little negotiating with my parents, I'm allowed to stay for a little while longer...speaking of which: I'm hungry again! Let's go to Nasty Burger," he said.

Sam and Danny exchanged a glance, then agreed.

–

The walk there wasn't bad, besides the fact they picked up another member...unfortunately, Valerie was outside and decided to join them.

Danny was nervous. Stomach cramps ceased inside him.

"We'll be back here, 'kay?" Danny said, grabbing Sam's arm and pushing Val and Tuck forward, faster than them.

Sam cast a mean glance at him.

"You don't think I wanna eat?" she said.

"No...I mean, yes. I mean...well, I know you do, but I wanna talk first, okay?" he said. Sam threw her hands up, palms facing upward, in an innocent gesture.

"If you mean about the texting thing? Danny I was joking with you, I hate texting for no reason, but I was joking." Sam's tone was monotone, and she clearly showed no interest toward this conversation.

"No, Sam, it's not about that. I don't know how or even if, I'm gonna say this, but..."

A long pause pierced the silence.

"There's only one way to ask you this," Danny said, before continuing.

"Goth Girl, may I be your black rose?" Danny was blushing, and almost laughing at his stupid brain's attempt at a pick-up line. On Sam. The Goth Girl. Wo-ow.

Suddenly, Sam started laughing her head off. Real laughter. The music in Danny's ears.

"Wow, Danny. That had to be-out of the what, two pick up lines tried on me-the worst one I've ever heard." Danny's heart sank, and Sam let the silence pour in for a bit more.

"But yes, Danny. My turn to pull a cheesy one? Fill the world with color again, and be my black rose," she said. It was meant to be cheesy, but it was also true.

"Are you serious?" Danny said. Sam nodded.

They ran ahead, racing each other, to the Nasty Burger. Tucker knew what happened, and it didn't take a ghost hunter for Valerie to figure it out. Sam was laughing. Dead giveaway. They opened the doors, and Danny took hold of them both, ushering Sam in.

It was silent between the two teens left outside.

"Uh...wanna go follow? Together?" Tucker tried once more.

Valerie sighed.

"Fine, but don't count on it to happen again," she said, walking compared to the running Tucker.

–

Neither Sam nor Danny planned on doing any homework on the weekend now.

F or not, so what? It was just 110 measly questions.

Walking, full, out of the Nasty Burger, Sam popped an unexpected question that brought laughter through the walk home.

"Text me?"

–

A/N: Okay! There it is! All done. I know it was a bit OOC at some parts, but in my opinion, that's what happens when you try to get them to realize they like each other. They don't do it on the show, probably because of that. They'd sound bipolar. So, thoughts can be astonishing, but I had to pop in the first chapters, cheesy, and the cheesy parts. I think: That's what made it. Did you like the humor at the end? Review, PM, just leave me some comments please! Thank you all so much for reading!

Dedication: Still, (even though it's finished)-K-RUPTLUVRANGEL!!!! I really hope you liked it.

Thanks again!
