HIS FUNERAL
Dear Dannys journal,
I know Danny may have said that there was never going to be
another entry in you, but I guess now it means from him. I'm writing
this to say he was wrong. Alot of people cared about him. And I loved
him. I read his entires and noticed that he always says that he feels
like the one person that doesn't have someone to love that loves him
back. He was wrong about that to. I love him. I always have. This is
Sam, by the way. I can't believe he did this. He gave up in a ghost
fight. He just lay down and let vlad kill him. Everyone knows his
secret now since the fight was on the news. Everyone knows that he
gave up. In my speech I'm going to tell them why. Yes, I wrote a
speech. This is the hardest thing I have ever had to do. It's so hard
to look at his parents. And I have to drive there with them. It's hard
to look at jazz too. I feel like part of my heart has been ripped out
and torn up and stomped on. My life will never be the same. I feel
broken. I'm going to keep this journal and write about us. Well, I
have to go. It's almost time for your funeral, well Dannys, and I have
to walk over to fenton works. Bye.
-Samantha Manson
I closed Dannys journal as tears started streaming down my cheeks and
grabbed my speech off my desk.
I looked round my room and sighed. More than half the stuff in it was
Dannys. He hadn't had any other friends so me and tucker split his
stuff. Tucker gave me most of his share since he knew that I was and
still am in love with Danny.
I was driving in with the fentons and my parents were going to hop on
the next flight home from Paris. I grabbed my black, floor length
strapless dress from my closet and my black headband with the veil on
it and got dressed quickly. I put on black lipstick and black eye
liner, grabbed my purse, flipped down my veil, and left the house. I
walked quickly down the street, and when I arrived at fenton works
they were all in the fenton RV waiting for me. I smiled weakly and
jazz grabbed my hand when I climbed in. I flinched slightly from the
contact, but then rested my head on her shoulder.
"you okay Sam?" she asked
"no" I said and my voice broke. "I feel empty"
She rubbed me knee and kept my hand. I looked at our hands and tears
started streaming down my face as I remembered that the last time I
had any physical contact with anyone was hugging Danny. That was
actually the day I found out.
Flashback
I hugged him tight.
"see you tomorrow Danny" I smiled
"yup. Call me tonight" he smiled
"alright" I said and he ran out the door. Around 15 minutes later I
was watching tv when an 'emergency newscast' interrupted my show. As
soon as I saw Danny on the screen I shrieked and ran out the door. I
ran as hard as I could towards the high school, which was where he was
when he was on tv.
I got there in time to see him give up and drop to his knees. Vlad
delivered the crushing fatal blow and I screamed in horror.
"Danny no!" I shrieked. He reverted back to fenton and I knew I was
too late. I heard someone approaching me when I dropped to my knees
and cried as the crowed swarmed him. I looked up and when I saw it was
maddie I yanked away from her and when the crowd cleared she saw her
boy on the ground dead.
"DANNY!" she screamed and ran forward and I turned and ran home
sobbing hysterically, afraid to see my fallen best friend.
End flashback
"we are here Sam" jazz said and helped my out of the RV. I looked up
as we got out and noticed that the sky seemed to reflect my mood. It
was gray and depsessing and raining. The sky is crying for Danny I
thought
We started walking and right in front of the doors I stopped, afraid
to go any further, knowing that if I went in and saw him I would have
to accept the crushing fact that he was gone. Jazz noticed my trouble
and pulled me slightly and I finally followed. I walked in and sighed
in slight relief when the casket was closed.
"they are going to open it later when we get to the graveyard alone
for you to say goodbye" jazz whispered and I nodded
We took our seats and the foleys sat beside us, and when my parents
got there they sat beside me. I didn't touch them at all, and
considered jazz lucky that I was touching her. Tucker came up to me
and placed a hand on my shoulder and I flinched, then launched out of
my seat and hugged him tight. I started sobbing and Tucker soothed me
quietly.
"I miss him so much" I sobbed into his neck
"I do to Sam" he replied and I felt my shoulder getting wet with his
tears, but I didn't care. When we broke away he smiled weakly at me
and I tried, but couldn't smile back. I gave him one last quick hug
and sat back down as he returned to his seat.
I never realized how different my life would be without Danny. I can't
call jazz 'sis' anymore. I can't call Jack 'dad' anymore and I can't
call maddie 'mom' anymore. He called them that. I can't have physical
contact with anybody because it hurts me. Jazz should consider herself
lucky. Tucker is a given, I guess. He was my best friend and dannys.
And he still is mine. And dannys in a way. Just like no matter what
I'm going to be dannys girl. I can't listen to music anymore, I have
basically stopped living. God I miss him.
I was brought out of my thinking by maddie walking up to the stand.
"well, how do I start. I never thought I would have to go to my own
sons funeral. I thought it would be him going to mine. I can't believe
he is gone. He was taken to early and I can't explain how much pain I
am in right now. I remember one day we were in the park and he saw Sam
and he couldn't take his eyes off her. Keep in mind he was four. They
became friends immediately when he caught her staring back at him." I
smiled slightly when she said that. "I remember when you used to
always run in the kitchen and scream 'momma momma!' and then hug my
legs and say you loved me. I remember when you said our first word. It
was momma. Your first sentence was 'i love my momma' I felt so happy I
thought I was going to explode. I remember when you were extremely
protective of your sister, even though she is older than you. I
rememer one day she came home crying and you asked what's wrong and
she said that a boy names Scott had made fun of her. You marched down
the stairs, found him, and beat him up. I remember eveything Danny
baby. I love you and I will miss you forever; my precious baby boy"
she finished and ran away from the stand, sobbing uncontrollably. I
was sobbing now and then Jack walked up to the stand.
"Danny. My boy. I loveyou so much. I cant believe you are gone. I
remember when you said there was a girl that you liked and I gave you
a ring to give her, and had the name Sam engraved in it thinking it
was for her and found out it wasn't, then a few days later you came up
to me and said 'thanks for getting Sams name in it. I will give it to
her at the right moment' I guess he never got the chance. I know I was
never around alot because I was busy with my crazy inventions but I
love you Danny, so much, and I will miss you forever" he finished and
walked away from the stand.
"Sam next" maddie said and I dried my cheeks and walked up to the stand.
"he did get the chance. Ive been holding onto this ring for so long."
i said and pulled out the ring. "Danny, Danny, Danny. I can't find the
words to describe how lost I feel without you. I feel empty. Danny, my
best friend, my closest friend, my rock, my personal body gaurd. I
will miss you. I remember when we were walking down the hall with
Tucker and Paulina asked you to go somewhere with her and you agreed,
and looked back in time to see me furiously punch a huge whole through
a locker. I remember when we would have sleepovers and watch horror
movies and I would scream and cling to you like my life depended on
it, even though it was a fake scream and an excuse to hug you. I
remember when you were being controlled by freakshow and couldn't
break the spell, no matter how hard you tried, and when I fell off the
train and You heard me scream you immediately snapped out of it and
jumped off to catch me. I remember opening my eyes in shock when I
realized You had broken The spell and saved me. I remember all the
times we got called lovebirds and both immediately denied it at the
same time and then would blush. I remember when we were walking in the
park trying to have a private conversation and we caught Tucker spying
on us. We spent the rest of the night chasing him around town trying
to kill him. I guess we aren't that mean since he is right there. I
remember when my cat died and I climbed in your window and woke you up
so You could comfort me. You didn't mind at all. I remember when we
were on a roller coaster and my restraint came undone while we were
upside down and You phased through the seat and caught me, and phased
us back into your seat. I remember when we went out together and got
completely hammered. I remember every word you have spoken to me. I
remember every breath you have taken. I remember everything. I will
remember that you gave up because you believed that you were unloved.
I will remember that you gave up because people constantly told you
that you were worthless and didn't mean anything. I will remember that
you loved me, even though you did this. I will remember that you are
my hero. I will remember that it's not your fault. Everyone kept
bringing you down. I love you Danny Fenton and it hurts me so bad that
you are gone. you were taken away from me way to early and it hurts. I
didn't even get to tell you I love you more than anything. I never
realized how essential you are to my life until you were taken away
from me. So many thing In my life have changed since you left. I
haven't made physical contact with anyone since you died except today
when I hugged Tucker, and when jazz held my hand to comfort me. I
can't call maddie 'mom' anymore because you called her that. I can't
call Jack 'dad' anymore because you called him that. I can't call jazz
'sis' anymore because you called her that. All because it hurts me. I
almost couldn't come in today because I realized that if I came in I
would have to accept the crushing fact that you are gone. It hurts.
Before I go, I want to say one final time, I love you Danny. You were
my sun and moon, the light of my life, and now that you are gone I'm
blind and can't find my way. I'm broken without you. But the memory of
you will live on. I'm pregnant, with your baby. I love you" I
finished. I ran away from the stand sobbing hysterically and jazz
hugged me quickly and went up to say her speech. I was sobbing
hysterically in my seat, but somehow managed to slightly quiet down so
I could hear her speech.
"Danny, my little brother, yet somehow also my older brother. I love
you so much. At first I didn't understand why you did this, but after
Sams speech I do. It wasn't justified but you felt alone. I will never
forget yu. I will remember everything. I love you so much baby
brother. I can't believe your gone" she finished and ran away fromthe
stand. She sobbed in her seat as Tucker walked up to say his speech.
"man, I can't believe you are gone. I will miss you forever. I will
never forget anything we did together. I will never forget everythig
you taught me, and I will take care of Sam for you and make sure she
stays out of harm. I love you man." he finished with tears streaming
down his face and returned to his seat. There were a couple more
speeches and then the coffin was picked up to be put in the hearse. I
jumped up and grabbed it, even though men were supposed to do it, and
glared at everyone that gave me a weird look. His parents had asked me
to. We put it in the hearse and got in the fenton RV and drove to the
cemetary. When we unloaded Danny and put him where he was supposed to
be they opened the coffin for me. Tears streamed down my face as
grabbed his hand and leaned down and kissed his cold dead lips. I ran
my fingers gently through his hair and whispered
"I love you Danny" before walking away. When everybody else showed up
we stood for a few minutes and put the coffin in the ground, then
everyone left. I stood and read his gravestone.
'Daniel James Fenton / Danny Phantom
Beloved son, brother, friend and hero
1995-2010
We will remember you
We all love you'
The fentons had pitched in some extra money so me, Tucker, jazz, Jack,
maddie, and my parents had all signed it.
"hey look, it's the loser visiting the freaks grave" I heard dash
taunt from behind me
"maby she's hoping she can die to and save herself the embarassment of
going outside with that ugly face" Paulina said
I turned and glared at them.
"why are you here" I snarled
"to make fun of fenturd" dash laughed.
"yea. That hopeless freak. I'm glad he is dead" Paulina sneered
I screamed in rage and before I knew what was happening my eyes were
bright green and I shot them both with an ecto-ray. The wind started
whistling and I screamed in rage at them, letting loose a ghostly
wail. They ran away, comletely terrified and I followed them and beat
them within an inch of their lives.
"pieces of shit" I hissed and flew back to his grave.
I reverted back to my normal self and bent down to kiss his tombstone.
I turned to walk away and felt a hand on my shoulder. I spun around
and saw Danny.
"Danny?" I asked
"yea. Hi Sam" he smiled
"DANNY" I screamed and launched myself into his arms, hugging him tight.
"why did you have to go" I sobbed
"I will explain when you join me. But they are letting my come down to
say I heard your speech"
"did you like it" I asked
"it was beautiful Sam. And i love you" he smiled
"I love you to" I replied
"marry me?" he asked
"of course" I smiled and kissed him. He kissed back and slipped a ring
on my finger.
"I saw the ghost powers thing" he said "and heard that your pregnant
with my child"
"I thought the ghost power thing was kick ass, and yea I'm pregnant" I
replied
"I'm going to be a dad" he smiled excitedly.
"I know. Yu have to try and visit our baby" I said
"I will see what I can do" he smiled.
Then we walked away hand in hand to see his parents and jazz.
"guys? Someone wants to see you" I said
They all spun around and as soon as they saw Danny, ambushed him. I
turned away to let them say goodbye and felt a hand on my shoulder. I
turned around and Danny kissed me.
"I love you Danny" I said and he dissappeared with a final
"I love you to Sam"
