I do not own Danny Phantom or any other characters from the show. Please review. I plan on adding more chapters. This is my first story; let me know what you think.
At 3:10, I drove to the movie theater to meet Danny. I was super nervous. I know there was no way he would find out about the dream unless I told him, but I was sure that my face would give something away. I already felt a permanent blush on my face and when Danny saw it, he would ask questions that I was in no way prepared for.
As I pulled up to the theater, I saw Danny, but no Tucker. I figured he was inside getting food or something. I parked, feeling butterflies in my stomach. Stupid dream, like I needed another reason to act like a fool around Danny. Stupid hormones. I managed to calm my cheeks down to a faint pink, instead of the bright crimson it had been for the past hour.
I got out and made my way to Danny. He looked really good. He had traded his red and white shirt to a solid black, long-sleeved button-up one. He had on darker pants too. He still had on his red converse but it didn't throw off his look. He had dressed up. That's sweet. I was wearing tight, black pants and a black halter top with a purple oval in the middle I had black fishnet arm sleeves, dark make up, and my black combat boots. I rarely ever wear any other type of shoes; they are comfortable and last an exceptionally long time. I wasn't all that dressed up to normal people, but to me, I was getting kinda fancy for him. Not that I'd ever let him know.
When Danny noticed me walking up to him, he had the widest smile on his face, wider than I'd ever seen. My cheeks turned a brighter shade of pink, but not quite red, thankfully. I don't like how easily my emotions showed round Danny. I hate how I don't understand what it is about him that makes me like this. This is only the second day that I've known him, how is it that I can't control myself. I'm never like this, ever.
"Hey, Sammy, you look beautiful," Danny beamed.
Now my cheeks were red, because that's exactly what I need, red cheeks to show my feelings.
"Thanks, you're not too shabby yourself," I complimented nonchalantly.
"Why, thank you. Shall we head in?" Danny asked, offering me his hand.
Okay, his mother must have force fed gentleman etiquette down his throat. I took his hand, leading us to the door. Just because he is the guy doesn't mean I can't lead. This theater wasn't like any I'd ever been to. I guess they were more afraid of people sneaking in then most, because you bought your ticket inside and showed it to someone standing outside of the individual theater.
Danny and I each bought our tickets separately before we walked to our theater, still hand in hand. I somehow managed to keep my blush in check, despite the physical contact.
"Oh yeah, Tucker called a few minutes before you walked up, he won't be able to make it, something to do with family visiting or something like that. I'll be right back," Danny explained before he stood up.
A part of me was excited that I was going to spend time with Danny alone, but the other part was freaking out. At least if Tucker would have been here, Danny would have something else to focus on besides me. I'm going to make such a fool of myself and he's going to think I am such a spazzing idiot. Super great. No, I refuse to allow myself to get this way over a guy. I've broken into animal testing labs before and I will be damned if I go all loopy over some guy, even if he is Danny.
Danny stopped my internal rant by handing me a Sprite and gummy bats. He sat down, shoving a large popcorn bucket in between us.
"What is this," I demanded.
"Well, that is a drink, you sip through the straw," he replied sarcastically.
"No, why did you get it for me," I asked harshly.
Danny sighed, "I wanted to be nice."
"Our deal was I pay for my own stuff, remember?"
"No, the deal was you pay for your own ticket," he smirked. "You didn't say anything about food or drinks. This is exactly why I snuck off to get them. I knew you would protest if you had known what I was doing. If it makes you feel any better, I used the money you slipped in my jacket last night to pay for your stuff. It's almost like you bought it all yourself."
"It's not the same thing, Danny. I slipped that money in your pocket because I don't like people paying for me. That money should have been used on you, not me," I expressed my disapproval.
"I know you are super independent and hate when a guy shows you an ounce of chivalry," Danny threw a handful of popcorn at me, grinning wildly, "but just say thank you."
"Oh, it's on." I grabbed some popcorn and started throw it at him. He caught my hand, took out the popcorn and ate it. I glared at him as he gave me his wonderful lopsided grin.
The previews began and Danny's attention was completely focused on the screen, so maybe I was wrong about making a fool of myself. Danny was goofy and easy going. He made things fun when they normally weren't, like waiting for a movie. I smiled and ate my gummy bats, excitingly waiting for the movie to start.
Danny is one of those people who loves watching the previews, he said it was one of his favorite parts of watching movies. I don't understand it, but it was fun watching his face light up for each new preview. He certainly was a strange one. I smiled, strange is just my type.
"That was awesome," Danny said.
"Eh, it could have had more guts when that girl got ripped in half by the wolves. I've seen better movies but there have also been much worse ones," I shrugged.
The movie was probably a solid eight point six on the Sam Manson scale. This was highly generous considering all of the better movies I have seen, if I had seen it with anyone else it would have gotten no more than a five point two. Danny and I discussed all of our favorite parts as we walked out of the theater.
"Want to go for a walk," Danny asked.
My heart fluttered, "Sure." I really liked spending time with Danny. It wasn't just nice to get out of the house and away from my parents, but I generally enjoyed being around him.
We talked more about the movie but mostly walked in silence, which gave me time to think about what happened during the movie. A few times Danny's hand touched mine while reaching for popcorn, causing both of us to blush deep crimson. Danny actually did that yawning stretch arm thing you see in movies. That move when the guy "yawns" and stretches one of his arms over the girl's shoulders. Yeah, he did that. If anyone else had even tried that I would have either broken their arm on the spot or laughed at how cheesy it was. I couldn't figure out why he had done it. Did he do it out of habit? Did he like me? What?
I stopped thinking and walking when I noticed Danny had taken me to the park, the same park from that stupid dream. My cheeks were burning red. Oh God, does he know? Of course not, there is no freaking way he can know that. No, I reassured myself, unless he can read minds. There is no way he could possibly know about my dream. My cheeks changed back to a normal color before Danny could even notice, I started to walk again.
We walked a little further, just to the fountain. We didn't say anything, just stared at scene laid out in front of us. It was peaceful, listening to the running water, birds, and the wind rustle the leaves, while watching the people and park animals. Nature is one of my favorite things in the entire world. I do whatever I can to help preserve what's left of it.
"It's so gorgeous here, don't you think-" Danny stopped mid-sentence. "You want some snowcones? They sell great snowcones around here," he rushed out.
I barely got my sentence out, "Um, yeah, I guess if they have blue raspberry, that'd be great."
"Awesome. I'll be back real quick. Just stay here, okay?"
Wait, did I just see that blue mist come from his mouth again? It wasn't cold at all. Danny had run off without another word.
"Something is strange about that boy, maybe that's why I'm so into him," I muttered to myself.
"BEWARE, I AM THE BOX GHOST!"
Hello duckies, I know it's s disappointingly short chapter considering I haven't uploaded anything new in a few days, but I am on vacation and am getting these out as soon as I can. Chapter 8 should be up soon, if I can motivate myself to ever write it. It's been difficult for me to get motivated, but I promise this story will get completed, eventually. I am seriously considering writing this is Danny's perspective, if I so it will be a while before it gets out. Thanks again for being such great readers! Oh, in case some of you think this isn't out by 8/5/13 like I said I was, where I am at I have about half an hour left until 8/6/13, so I did make my deadline. I appreciate all the views, favorites, followers, and reviews this story has gotten. Thank you again for reading and I hope you enjoy!
