Danny Phantom Danny & Sam's late nite

This is the continuation of the 1st back-2-back episode on 4/9/04. This is already a terrific show!!

The nite was almost over once Danny got rid of the necklace that Sam was wearing. Dash was trying to smooth talk the school beauty again, Pauleena, & Sam noticed the DJ still spinning songs.

"Hey", said Sam. "The DJ is still here & there's still time for 1 more dance." "Sure, I'd love to.", said Danny. Danny hands Tucker the amulet & Danny & Sam move to the middle of the empty gym floor & slow dance with each other.

"Promise me you'll keep your pants up", said Sam Danny said, laughingly, "I'll do my best."

Tucker watched as he realized that he was yet again dateless.

"Wait a minute! I'm dateless again! What does a guy have to do to get hooked up around here"

The princess ghost that Danny fought earlier (with the necklace) was behind Tucker's back whining.

"But I want to go to the ball!!" said the ghost princess "On second thought" said Tucker. "I don't need a date that badly!! Guys, can I cut in?!"

Tucker runs away with ghost right on his tail. As the music played, Danny & Sam look around the Gym uncomfortably. Acting as if they have something to say but don't want to say it. So finally Sam works enough courage & says something.

"Danny," she said with a sigh. "I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but..." "But what, Sam! You know that you can tell me anything." "Well," she said hesitantly. "Pauleena only went to the dance with you because she thought that you were my boyfriend & she wanted to 'take you away from me'" "But she can't take me away from you! We're like... best friends!" "Yeah, exactly" "EXACTLY!" they say with a nervous laugh.

They stare gazingly into each other's eyes, then shake their heads in a way of realizing what they were doing. They turn their head immediately, then lock their eyes together again.

"But are we really just best friends, Sam?" said Danny as he gave her a look of desperation.

"Well, ... I don't know. I mean we've known each other since like... ever!" "Yeah, but what I've learned from my sister, the best relationships start with friends first. I don't want us to stop being friends, but I also don't want us to pretend that were just friends & that's it. If our friendship calls for it to be more than just friends then... we can't help that." "Are you trying to tell me that... that you like me... a lot!"

Danny bends his head down to block the blushing & nods his head.

"But Danny I dunno if we...," she began to say but was interrupted by the sudden pull of Danny bringing her closer to him. Once she noticed that he was leaning in for a kiss, she stopped her resistance & welcomed herself into the kiss. As they kissed, she felt the icy coldness of Danny's breathe. They knew instantly that an evil ghost was nearby. They quickly turned to find that Musikcandra, the evil ghost of bad music & old music devices, had snuck its way into the gym through the DJ's headphones. Tucker ran in the gym panting ferociously.

"I... tried... to...to get here... faster....but I... couldn't!" said Tucker.

"Don't worry about that now!" (Pause) "I'm going GHOST!!" said Danny as he quickly change into the ghostly hero. "How did this thing get through without coming through the portal?"

"I am Musikcandra, being of all rejected music & music torture! Bow down before me or feel the wrath of my mighty power of torture!

"Pppff!"Danny said with a delightful scoff. "You have GOT to be kidding!"

Tucker rushes over to the DJ to makes sure he's alright & discovers that the ghost came out the headphones. He immediately tells Danny of its whereabouts. He then begins to tell Sam of its whereabouts but noticed something different about her.

"Hey," Tucker said. "Why do you look so... starry-eyed?! Did something happen between you and Danny while I was away." He said with a smirk on his face.

Sam said with defense, "So who are you now my father!! Just because Danny & I kissed doesn't mean..." She stopped in the middle of her sentence realizing what she had said & looked at Tucker in a way of disbelief. "No... wait! Did I said kiss?! What I meant was..."

"Nope don't try to cover it up now," said Tucker. "You spilt the beans missy, & now you can't cover it up! I'll just ask you this...did you expect it?!"

"Ya know...in the weirdest way, I kinda did!" All of a sudden Danny comes crashing to the ground from the whack he got from Musikcandra. Tucker & Sam rush to his side.

"DANNY!!!" said Tucker & Sam. Sam lifted his head up to see if he was alright. He ungritted & gave a loving smile to Sam.

"Ok you two love birds, enough of that!" said Tucker. He quickly raised his head saw Musikcandra winding up to slam down on all three of them. Danny grabs them both & turns them transparent & fall through the floor. He sets them down in classroom & zooms back up to the gym.

"Instead of banging on me & my friends, how about you bang on the ivory...KEYS!" Danny said as he gave the ghost a good swift kick in its drum-like stomach. Tucker & Sam race back upstairs to see Danny kick the ghost. "Tucker, the thermos!!"

Tucker tosses the thermos to Danny, Danny opens it quickly , & the powerful beam of blue light & suction grabs the ghost. As the ghost is being sucked in, it fights & tries to push itself out of the suction, it then lets go the powerful force & Danny quickly closes the lid. Danny then turns back into his human form & gives Sam a loving & pleasing look.

"I think that ghost got its ear-full of torture from me! But how did it have come here through the headphones?" questioned Danny.

"Beats me! But are you ok, buddy?" asked a concerned Tucker.

"Yeah! I'm fine...ar-re you guys ok?"

"Yeah, I'm ok," said Tucker

But Danny wasn't paying any attention to Tucker. He & Sam were holding each other's hands between one another with bent arms.

"Uh, great Tucker! I'm...glad your...ok," Danny said separately as he lost himself in Sam's pool of gleaming purple eyes.

"Um, Danny can I talk to you for a minute!" said Tucker with clenching teeth.

"Uhh, suUUUUUURE!" yelled Danny as he was being yanked by Tucker.

"What are you doing, man! Why are you goin' googly-eyed over her?! You never did before! Why now have you suddenly changed your mind!?"

"Look! I dunno. We were just slow dancing out there, she said 'Promise to keep your pants?', & I said 'I'll do my best'. She giggled, I chuckled, we suddenly got nervous & she spoke up by saying that Pauleena used me to make Sam jealous. I said 'How can she do that we're best friends', then I sa..." said Danny being interrupted by Tuck.

"Le'me guess! You said something like 'But are we really Sam?' And she said, 'Well we've been friends since ever' & you interrupted her by surprisingly kiss her! Am I right?!"

Danny's cheeks began to rose up to thought of it & Tucker rolled his eyes.

But that ruins the whole point of all three of us being friends, Danny! If you two become an idle, what am I gonna do? Tag along on you guy's dates?! I don't think so! I wasn't born to be a third wheel, Danny! So you can either keep us all as friends or you can gain a girlfriend & lose...a best friend!"

"Now that's not fair Tucker! You guys are both my best friends!"

"But she's your girlfriend now Danny! And... I can obviously see what your decision is!" said Tucker as he walked away.
