You guys want to head over to Nasty Burgers?" Sam asked as the group walked home from school.

"Sure," Tucker and Danny said.

"Great!" Sam said. "Let's drop off our homework at our houses and meet me at my place in about thirty minutes."

-Thirty minutes later-

"Hey Tuck!" Danny called as he arrived at Sam's house.

Tucker looked up from his PDA. "Hi Danny," He said. "Sam's gonna be a few minutes."

"How come?" Danny asked.

"Her father wants to talk to her about her grades," Tucker said. Lately, Sam's grades had been falling, due to the fact she was helping Danny ghost fight.

"What's that in you backpack?" Tucker said pulling something out of Danny's backpack. It was a black rose. "What's this?" Tucker said a smile spreading across his face.

"Give me that!" Danny said his face turning red. "It's for Sam."

"You're going to ask her out!" Tucker yelled.

Danny shushed him. "Shh, yes, okay, I'm gonna ask her out, now quiet," he hissed.

"I knew you two would end up together!" Tucker said excitedly.

"I haven't even asked her yet," Danny said. "She might not feel the same way." Tucker laughed. The door opened and they turned to see… Sam's mother?

"Danny?" She said. "Can I see to you for a minute?"

"Ok?" Danny said and stood up. He followed her into the house.

"Danny I heard you're going to ask Sam out."

"Well, yeah," Danny said.

"No," Sam's mother said.

"What?"

"You can't be her boyfriend."

"Why?" Danny asked, shocked.

"Because we don't approve of you," she said. "Her father and I don't think you're a good influence, and we don't feel you're an appropriate boyfriend for her." Danny's mouth dropped open. "And don't try to go around my word, or I'll send her away to a boarding school. Pink Petal High."

"You would do that?" Danny said.

"Yes. It's bad enough that she's home after curfew, grades are dropping, and is Goth, but a boyfriend like you puts it over the top. You can leave now," she said.

"What did she want to talk about?" Tucker asked when Danny came out. Danny was about to tell him when Sam came out the door.

"Come on let's go," she said.

.

"Sam, have you heard of Pink Petal High?" Danny asked as they sat down to eat at Nasty Burgers.

"Yeah, it's a boarding school my parents want to sent me to," Sam said, shivering. "It's an all girl's school for rich snooty people. Its school uniform is all pink, and it's an all year school in Europe, and etiquette is mandatory and eurgh!" Sam gave a shudder. "Thank goodness I could talk my parents out of it."

"It sounds like your worst nightmare!" Tucker laughed.

"It is my worst nightmare," Sam agreed. "Danny where are you going?"

"I have to do something," Danny said. "I'll call you later ok?"

.

"What are you doing back here?" Sam's mother asked as she opened the door.

"I need to ask you a question. Why don't you approve of me?" Danny asked.

She pinched her lips together. "For one thing," she said tightly, "your financial status is too far below our expectations for her.

"This is about my family's money?" Danny asked.

"Not so much your family's but… yours," she said.

"If I become rich will you let me date Sam?" Danny asked.

Sam's mother frowned, as if thinking. "Monetary status is far from the only issue," she said.

"But it's a start, right?"

"I-suppose, I-" she looked uneasy. "You should probably be getting home," she said, before shutting the door.
