Ok, I don't own Danny Phantom! Thought you'd all like to know.

I'd like to also let you know of everyone's new wardrobe. Tucker has jeans and a green shirt. Danny has a red shirt with kakis pants. Dash is the same. Paullina has jeans with a jean shirt. Sam has black pants with a purple tank and her hair goes down to her mid back, and it's a kinda wavy. Now, let's start the story shall we!

Danny plopped his head on his desk in his room, "Oh great. This is the last day of summer, or otherwise known as freedom." He sighed.

"Oh chill Danny," Tucker started, "We're starting our sophomore year! That means three years and then high school is over! And besides, Sam's getting back from Russia today."

"Oh yah! Well, at least there's one bright thing about today. I've really missed Sam." Danny said cheerfully upon being reminded that his best female friend would be returning, "When will she be here?"

"Um, I think around 5:30."

"Oh man. We've still got all day. What are we supposed to do?"

"Well the option of ghost fighting is always up."

"It's not exactly an option, Tuck." Danny stated flatly. But of course they did have to fight ghosts. Though they weren't too much of a challenge. They got back and Danny fell on his bed.

"So how many classes we got together again?" Danny closed his eyes and thought for a moment.

"......three." He said finally.

"Man, I hope Sam has my English."

"Well that would mean she wouldn't be in mine, which would suck. I need just as much help as you."

"Then I suppose only one of us will get what we want."

"Or neither."

"Oh yah. That's true. Man that would suck."

"Tell me about it." They sat around talking about any old thing when Danny looked at the clock. It read 5:37, "Tucker! Sam should be home now! Let's go see her." Danny rushed out with Tucker trying to follow close behind.

They reached the Manson Home and saw two cars parked in front with people unloading them. The two boys stared in awe. Boy what a summer could do to a girl. Her raven hair went down to her back and she had filled out into a curvy and, feminine body. Danny shook himself of the trance and called out, "Sam!" Sam looked up and smiled brightly.

"Danny! Tucker!" She ran over to them. She went to hug Tucker.

"Sam!" Tucker exclaimed, "What period do you have English?" Sam stopped in her tracks and scowled.

"Second." She cringed. Danny smiled.

"Yes. I win Tucker!"

"Is this the only reason you came over?" Sam yelled, sounding slightly hurt, but she was reassured when she was engulfed in a huge hug by Danny.

"Of Course not! Sam I......er we missed so much!" Danny stuttered. Tucker came over and turned the hug into a group hug.

"Yah! You didn't miss too much."

"Trust me, I did. I missed you guys so much! Russia doesn't compare to you guys."

"So it wasn't all that great?" Danny asked, they al broke away from the hug.

"Nope. I was stuck with my parents all summer. Not y definition of 'summer fun.' I'm so glad school is starting."

"Tell that to Danny." Tucker said jerking a thumb at him, "He bummed big time. Only thing that cheered him up was the fact that you were coming back." Sam and Danny blushed and looked away from each other.

"Well, there's nothing you can do about it. School will still come tomorrow whether you want it to or not." Sam said trying to ease the small tension.

"Yah I know. Well, I guess I am sort of relieved. And I won't be as bored now." Danny said.

School came, of course and Danny reluctantly got ready, 'Well, at least Sam is back.' He thought as he ate breakfast, and not phasing through the table. He had gotten a lot of control over his powers over the summer. But not really any new ones, but his powers themselves have progressed. He left for school and met Sam and Tucker out in front. Sam got whistles as the walked through the halls. Last year, Sam was considered an ugly freak, even though she was actually pretty. But now, that she had a so called great body that meant nothing. Last year, Danny had been a skinny but still tall kid. With all the ghost fighting he had filled out a little, and anyone could tell he had a good deal of muscle. One glare from Danny to the whistlers and they shut up.

"Wow, Sam. You're sure getting a lot of attention." Tucker said matter-of-factly.

"She sure is." Danny Cringed.

"Well it's not my fault. Can I help it? No." Sam stated. She wasn't enjoying it either.....well not too much. She had to admit, she was being noticed even if it were for the wrong reasons but it made her feel good. That she looked good. And plus, Danny seemed a little jealous already. They went to first period. Well, Danny and Tucker went to theirs and Sam went to a different one. She had four classes with Danny and three with Tucker.

Danny and Tucker sat in Mr. Mooney's class as they listened to him talk. He seemed like a really cool teacher. Hardly any homework, and lots of group projects. They talked to each other in the back row and were told to be quiet a few times but they weren't in trouble.....yet. the period seemed to drag on forever.

'I wonder how Sam's doing?' Danny thought.

Sam sat down and put her stuff under her desk. A blonde girl with green eyes came over to her, "Is this seat taken?" The girl asked in a semi-high pitched voice.

"No." Sam said flatly. The girl smiled and sat down. It was silent for a moment and then the girl turned.

"My name's Irenee. What's yours?"

Sam looked out of the corner of her eye, "Sam."

"Wow! You totally look like a Sam!" Sam looked at her this time.

"Thanks." She said in a monotone.

"I'm new! I just moved from Cali! This is totally different."

"That's what moving across the country can prove." Irenee giggled.

"You totally remind me of my friend in Cali! She dressed just like you, but like, everyone judged her and called her 'goth' and stuff. People are so steryotypical to people who just want to express themselves."

"You.....You believe that?"

"Of course Sam!" Sam smiled.

"Hey Irenee, you wanna lunch with me today?" Irenee beamed.

"That would be totally awesome!"

"Yah it would be." Sam said.

Danny walked over to his second period.....English II. With Sam.

He walked in and took a back seat. In about a minute Sam walked in and saw him. He tilted in his chair and jerked his head up showing he saw her. She walked over and pulled his seat back, making him jerk and sit down in an effort not to fall and crack open his head.

"Hey!" Danny protested to her gesture.

"Don't tilt in your chair you can hurt yourself."

"Aw you care about me."

"I care about my clothes being blood free. I didn't want you too ruin that." Danny frowned at her straight and serious looking face. It quickly began to crack a smile and she chuckled and ruffled his hair, "You can be so gullible sometimes Danny."

"Hey now that's mean! You really had me going!"

"Oh get over it Danny." She said humorously. Danny stuck his tongue out at her. They sat through class with the usual introduction. Sam had Women's choir next and Danny had TA for a freshman Science class.

It was finally lunch time and Sam met Irenee over by a pole and they walked together. They got to the table where Sam, Tucker, and Danny always sat.

"Hey Tucker. Hey Danny. This is Irenee, she's new here from Cali."

"Hey there Irenee." Tucker said.

"Hi Irenee."

"Hello!" she greeted to both of them. Sam sat next to Danny, and Irenee sat next to Tucker. Sam got out her lunch and went to grab her form laying on the side but grabbed Danny's instead. They looked at each other and blushed, and smiled timidly at each other. Irenee whispered to Tucker, "Are they a couple?"

"No, but just look at the way they look at one another. That's true stuff there." Sam and Danny turned away from each other.

"So," Danny started, "how do you like it so far Irenee?"

"Totally awesome! Sam, it was super nice that you invited me to eat with you guys!"

"Sure, Irenee."

The day went on. ( a/n : Danny, Sam, Tucker had PE together. Danny and Sam had math, and Tucker and Danny had science together.) Irenee had to walk the other way so they said goodbye to her and headed over to Danny's house to work on homework. Tucker got a phone call saying his parents needed him home. So now it was just Sam and Danny.
