I own nothing.
Sam opened the divided fridge looking for her tofu sandwich. An empty plate sat in the middle of the fridge. She got annoyed, but made another one. She went to get her favorite tea out of the cabinet, only to find that gone as well. Annoyed she grabbed one of her wheat grass smoothies. She went over to the couch and started to eat. She turned on the TV to see Danny Phantom saving the day again. "I wonder who he really is." She thought. Sam had gone to a private school all her life. She never really had any friends. No one seemed to understand her gothic nature and her love for animals. She recently started to help at Fenton Labs. She wasn't very interested in science, but fighting ghost sounded pretty cool. She was soon friends with Danny and his best friend Tucker. She was currently helping Maddie with a box designed to capture and keep that annoying ghost in overalls away from everyone seeing how he kept getting out of the ghost zone. She walked over to the kitchen and put her plate in the sink. She put on her combat boots and went to work.
She walked in to the lab to see the portal stuck open and a shadow like ghost floating near it. She grabbed the Jack-o-nine tails but it was gone before she could turn around. She heard a crash up stairs. She ran up the stairs and started checking rooms. She opened Danny's door to find the room in a wrench and Danny gone.
"I swear, if I didn't know how clumsy he was. I'd put money on him being Phantom." She said seeing how the room looked like the lab after ghost fights. She put her hair up in a pony tail and went back to the lab. Maddie was carrying a box.
"This should lore him in so we can catch him." She said. She set up the machines. She started with a fake cry of fear begging no one to steal the boxes. It worked like a charm. The machine did not. A few sparks and it died.
"Jack, did you recharge the machines after you tested them last night?" Maddie asked.
"I was suppose to?" Jack asked.
Muddied sighed and pulled up the charger. Sam captured the ghost.
"Try number 32 is a failure." Maddie said.
Danny rushed downstairs. "I thought I heard- Never mind." He said and ran back upstairs.
"I think Danny may be hiding something." Maddie said holing up a wrench to fix a broken ecto gun.
"I do too, but that isn't going to stop us." Sam said. "Maybe Jack should talk to him."
"Great idea. A little mal bonding will do them some good. Plus Danny is getting to old to be living at home." Maddie admitted.
Jack went upstairs without argument.
He knocked on his son's door. "Danny we need to talk." He said.
Jack looked inside only to see a ruined room and a sad son.
"You okay?" Jack asked.
"Yeah, I was just thinking. I need to well-" Danny started.
"Well, what?" Jack was curious.
"I need to move out get some freedom, but I don't have anywhere to go." He admitted.
"I think Sam has a spare room." Jack said not thinking his suggestion threw.
"You think she'd let me stay with her until I find an apartment. I just can't stay here anymore." The constantly being treated like a child is too much, he thought.
"I'm sure she would." Jack said as they walked downstairs.
"Sure. He can stay with me, but one mess and he's out." Sam said. She understood. She took the first chance she got to get away from her parents.
"Deal." Danny said. He had managed to keep his powers a secret from his parents all these years. How hard could it be to keep it from Sam. More difficult than he imagined.
