Story (c) Me

The sky was pink and orange, painted as blazes in the setting sky. Cirrus clouds, pink from the sky, hung in the air like little icicles, long and pretty. A light, comforting breeze gently shook the grass as waves in an ocean of blades. A hill sat before this sight, looking over the houses and occasional farms that went out beneath the endless sky. A willow tree hung over the hill, its roots awkwardly gripping onto the side of the hill. The leaves looked almost like little moths with wings wide open as the branches hung down.

It took a special person to see this all, despite the simplicity of its beauty. As the sky began to take in some darker blue as the sun slipped under the houses in the distance, a boy and a girl began to come up the hill in the outskirts of Amity Park. "Danny!" the girl called. "Pull your weight, man!" she yelled with a mischievous grin as she ran even faster up the hill.

"Sam!" the boy called back in frustration, brushing black locks out of his eyes. "It's not my fault you have combat boots and I don't!" he shouted, gasping for air at suddenly going into a sprint trying to catch up with the girl. She paused for a moment, as if to let him catch up, then rolled her eyes with a smirk and ran even faster up, turning her face and black hair away from the boy. When she got to the top of the hill, she sat under the tree and waited for him. Danny caught up, almost falling flat on his face from lack of grace as he got to the top.

"Sam-pant-next-pant-time you-pant-run up the-pant-hill, warn me, okay?" he said, catching his breath. She laid on her back.

"Danny, my boy, that ruins half of the fun to see you struggling up the hill."

"Hardy-har-har. You didn't have to run up with a bag with a telescope inside! And water bottles!" he protested. Sam rolled her eyes.

"Danny, that telescope hardly weighs a pound, and you can handle carrying two water bottles. Look-" she pointed out the sky as she got up and out from under the willow tree. "The sky is setting. Soon we can stargaze. Go ahead and take a drink while we're waiting." Sam said, taking her bottle from the bag (might I mention she insisted on reusable bottles?) and drinking. Danny unpacked his and drank up, going through three-fourths of the water in one swig. Sam hardly noticed as she capped her bottle and put it back. Danny stared at his bottle.

"Er, Sam?"

"What?" she asked, looking over. She looked at the bottle and rolled her eyes. "Make sure to save some of that water for later in case you get thirsty." she advised. Danny blushed lightly and put it back. By this point, the pink and orange had faded with the sun, and the night was coming. Danny pulled out the telescope and put it in place, right outside the willow. Sam sat next to him as he sat, waiting for the darkness to settle.

"There was supposed to be a meteor shower tonight, right?" Sam asked. Danny smiled.

"Yep! I'll spare you all the excited space-nerd stuff so you can see for yourself. Hehe..." he said, chuckling. Sam giggled lightly in response. After a few minutes, the sky was a pitch black, and white dwarfs in the sky that were shining seemed to smile down on the two. Both teens shared a surprised gasp when the first meteor went across the sky. More began to follow.

"Wow..." Sam gasped. "It's beautiful." she murmured. Danny smiled.

"Yeah. Why don't you take a look in the telescope for a better look?" he said enthusiastically. She grinned and looked into the scope. She gasped.

"It's amazing! Nature truly does have spectacular views!" she said, awed. She passed the eyepiece over to Danny as he got to peer in. A wide smile was on him.

"So worth being forced to run up the hill. You only see a few of these things in your lifetime. Of course, maybe that's what makes it so-"

"Special." the two said in unison. They shared another look, then blushed lightly. They continued watching for a while, talking in-between a few times. When it was over, Sam stood and stretched.

"It was beautiful. Thanks for taking me, Danny. Oh, and..." she quickly gripped the telescope, put it in the bag along with the water bottles, and began to run down the hill. "PULL YOUR WEIGHT AGAIN!" she called, laughing like a maniac the whole way down. Danny cursed under his breath as he grabbed the bag and ran down to catch up. Sam was waiting at the foot of the hill.

"Niiice. Of course, going downhill is easier than uphill..." she paused and allowed Danny to catch his breath. Danny then smiled a little, embarrassed.

"Er...Sam...Listen, I had a really great time with you tonight." he said. Sam smiled back.

"As did I..." she looked around, then at her feet, then Danny. "Mind giving me a lift home?" Danny grinned.

"Sure, I'd love to." he said, changing into his ghost form. She gripped onto him and the bag as he took off into the night sky, his black suit melting into the scenery of the night. If it weren't for his white hair, gloves, and boots, you couldn't even spot him and Sam flying. As he landed in front of her house, gently placing her down, she blushed again, this time a little redder.

"Err...Danny...Good night." she said. She then planted a kiss on his cheek, making his cheeks go a cherry red. "I hope we can do something like this again sometime."

"Uh-uh...yeah..." Danny said, still blushing. "G'night."

"Night!" she responded, heading into her house. Danny stood there for a minute, then gave a contented sigh and picked up the bag and headed home. The moon seemed to shine on him as he flew- or maybe it was just joy.
