Hey guys! Here's chapter 2! I don't have any plans on making this a third chapter, but we'll see how I'm feeling and if I have enough creative juices to think up a third one. Enjoy!
"Oh my god Danny!" Sam cried, running towards her best friend. "Is he okay? What did you do to him?!"
"Calm down girl, he's fine. Just passed out from using too much of his power in the Ecto-skeleton. Which was gone when I got there, I might add." Vlad said to the nearly hysterical teenage girl.
Danny's parents entered the room at that moment. Maddie rushed over to her son in the same way Sam did. "Vlad? What happened to Danny?"
"I found him just on the other side of the ghost shield when the town came back. He was in pretty rough shape so I carried him over here because I was worried about his well being," Vlad said sucking up to Maddie quite obviously.
She obliviously smiled at him. "Let's bring him up to his room so he can rest."
An hour later, Sam and Tucker are the only ones left sitting in Danny's room, watching over him until he wakes up. They heard him groan, and Tucker ran downstairs to tell the rest of his family, Vlad, Valerie and her dad.
"Danny?" Sam asks bending over him as he groans again. She asks again as everyone files into his room, "Danny?"
His eyes opened up and took in everyone standing around his bed "Huh, what?"
"You gave us quite a scare there, little badger," Vlad said stepping out from behind Jack.
As they continued to talk, Vlad mentioned again that Jack lost his ecto-suit meanwhile; Danny tried to sit up in pain. Sam placed her hand on his shoulder and smiled at him. He smiled back and everyone except Sam left the room.
"So..." Danny said looking away from her. He shot his eyes back to her blushing face. "You... like me do you? Here I am safe, just like you asked me to."
"I'm glad you're safe Danny."
Danny tried sitting up again, this time succeeding and held Sam's hand in his. He abruptly pulled her down into a hug as tight as his sore muscles could manage. Sam smiled and embraced him back, sitting down on the bed next to him.
"So, you never answered. You like me?" he smirked.
Sam rolled her eyes. "You're saying it like it's something that could never happen in a million years."
"With you, it is. You're so independent and haven't really shown anything that would hint you like me aside from the whole Ember incident."
"That was a special circumstance. But it's because of the cliché 'I didn't want to ruin our friendship.' I was lying to myself about it and when there was that moment where you could come back worse than you are now, I panicked and realized I was being stupid. I like you Danny. I'm not gonna lie to myself anymore."
Danny smiled and kissed the top of her hand. "So what do you want to do about it?"
Sam was annoyed that he wasn't saying anything back. She just confessed to him and he wasn't responding either way. If he didn't like her, he should at least tell her and if he did, he needed to do something about it. She did not like the way he was playing with her.
"You tell me. I've told you how I feel and there's not much else I can do. What do you want me to do, ask you to go out with me? Be my boyfriend? Yea I'm not the same as those shallow bitches that just wait for boys to swoon over them, but I've done the hard part. Now it's your turn. What do YOU want to do about it Mr. Phantom?"
"Mr. Phantom? If you want a clear answer I wouldn't be asking my ghost half. He has more confidence and he would do something like this." Danny said white rings changing him into Danny Phantom. He smiled and pulled Sam's face down and lightly kissed her on cheek, making her blush. Then he turned her face and gave her an equally light kiss on her mouth.
She shivered at the ghostly touch of lips and the feather light kiss left her mouth tingling and practically aching for more. She now knew what it was like to kiss Phantom, and she equally wanted to know what it felt like to kiss Fenton without the hasty urgency of a fake-out make-out.
He changed back to Danny Fenton and smiled as Sam sat next to him practically on cloud nine.
"So that's your answer if you're asking Phantom. How about asking Fenton this time?"
"Mr. Fenton, what do you think we should do? How should we go about this?" Sam said with a coy smile.
"Well Ms. Manson, I believe that I would have to answer with 'I like you too.'"
Sam smiled a half smile, trying to hide her excitement and jumped on Danny, giving him a bear hug and kissed him with much more force than the one Phantom had given her. When she stopped, they both smiled and a voice behind them said "It's about freaking time you two."
They turned around to see Tucker, Valerie and Jazz in the doorway, all with mischievous smiles on their faces.
"Uh... well... umm," Sam stuttered in embarrassment from them potentially witnessing her moment of bliss in being able to kiss her best friend without hesitation.
"We were going to come check on Danny to make sure everything was still alright, but it's obvious he is being well taken care of. As much as we'd love to leave you two lovebirds alone, there's virtually no where else for us to be right now since the 'adults' have forbidden us from being on the main floor." Jazz said.
"And I have a feeling you two will have plenty of alone time in the near future." Tucker said.
"What about you Tucker?" Sam asked. "We don't want to make you feel like you're a third wheel or be too lonely, so really we won't have THAT much time together."
While Valerie and Jazz talked about something in the doorway, Tucker leaned in to whisper to Sam and Danny. "I don't think that will be too much of an issue. Now that Valerie's dad knows her secret and took away her ghost hunting equipment, she has more free time and because I know a fair amount about ghost hunting myself, she'll be begging for me to help her get her stuff back or help her with brand new stuff in general! It's a genius plan for me to get closer to her!"
"You always have such crazy ulterior motives when it comes to girls don't you?" Danny said patting his friend on the back.
"They aren't crazy. I just don't understand how women can resist this charm and charisma! Tucker Foley is a stud and yet the ladies don't seem to notice." Tucker said, raising his arms up and down his body as if he was showing himself off.
"Why the sudden interest in Valerie?"
"Because now that you two are together she has no chance with you Danny, and while she comes to accept that, I'll be there to help her along."
Danny and Sam looked shocked. "She has a thing for me/him?!" They said at the same time.
"She kind of does. But she knows a lost cause when she sees it. And this way I'll be able to protect her from Nathan as well. She'll be happy with that idea!"
"What are you guys whispering about?" Jazz asked the three who were huddled closely together.
"Nothing!" They said.
"Anyway I should go; my dad's waiting for me at home. He left a few minutes ago." Valerie said motioning towards the door.
"I'll walk you home!" Tucker said following her out the door.
"I should get back to studying," Jazz said. "All this ghost business has distracted me for too long and I have a test on Monday. Have fun you two!"
Once they all had left, Danny and Sam were left alone again. They smiled and Danny said "I'm tired, even after all that sleep I had after passing out, I'm totally wiped out from using the ecto suit."
"Well it's only noon. Why don't we go grab something to eat and head back to my place for a movie?" Sam suggested.
"Sounds great," Danny said standing up. He got to his feet and wobbled, about to fall before Sam held him up putting his arm around her shoulders. "Guess I'm more wiped out than I thought."
"That's fine. We can take it slow. Think you can make it to Nasty Burger like this?" Sam asked.
"I'll be fine. I can make it there and to your place. Might need a little help with it though."
Sam smiled and put her arm around his waist giving him extra support as they walked down the stairs. "I'll be here to help until you can walk on your own."
"Thanks. I couldn't ask for a better girlfriend."
"Girlfriend huh? I like the sound of that coming from you."
There we go! I hope you guys enjoyed it :)
