(July 1986)

'Danny! Stop it!' Sam yelled playfully at her boyfriend, who was holding onto her waist tightly. She somehow managed to get out of his grip and ran away laughing. Suddenly, she purposely fell over and Danny jumped on top of her. Sam was doubled over in laughter. The halfa grabbed his girlfriend by the waist and picked her up.

'Gotcha!' he laughed.

'Not if I can help it!' Sam wriggled out of her boyfriend's grip and ran to the garage. She came back with a giant water gun and began shooting water at Danny.

'Hey! No fair!'

'You can't punish me if you can't catch me!' Sam ran towards the porch, where Danny caught her.

'Caught you,' he smirked.

'I guess you did,' she smiled back at him and kissed him deeply.

(December 1988)

'Merry Christmas, Tuck!' Danny said, handing over a huge box to his best friend.

Tucker opened the box eagerly. Inside was a new Apple computer. 'Wow! Thanks, dude! I've been wanting this for a hell of a long time now!'

'No problem,' Danny smiled, then giving Sam a small box.

She ripped open the present to find a silver-chained necklace with a pendant that was a little black rose. 'Oh, my God! Danny… Thank you! I love it!' Sam hugged her boyfriend and kissed his cheeks repeatedly.

'I'm glad you like it, Sam,' he grinned, giving her a kiss.

(June 1989)

'And here they are! The graduating class of 1989! Congratulations to all of you!' Mr. Lancer announced.

The graduates cheered and threw their caps in the air. Sam jumped up, wrapped her arms around Danny's neck, and kissed him.

'I can't believe it!' she shouted as soon as they parted.

'Me neither! I love you!'

'I love you too!'

'Sam?' Danny yelled over the crowd.

'Yeah?' his girlfriend yelled back.

'Marry me!' he shouted.

'What?!'

'Marry me, Sam!' She just stared at him blankly. 'What do you say?'

Sam didn't answer, but instead just kissed him on the mouth. The kiss was unlike any of the ones in the past. 'Does that answer your question?' she smiled.

Danny now had a grin on that was ear to ear. He then leaned towards Sam and kissed her again.

(May 1991)

'Hey, Sam! Put on a smile!' Tucker called out to his best friend, who was holding a little baby.

'Tucker! Stop it!' she laughed.

Just then, Danny walked back in with three cups of coffee.

'My savior!' Sam joked as her fiancé handed her a decaf latte.

'How are you feeling?' Danny asked, sitting down next to her and kissing the small girl on the head.

'Despite the fact that I'm still recovering from a eight hour birth, I'm feeling pretty damn good.'

'Good.' The halfa stroked the baby's cheek. 'And Ashleigh?'

'She's fine,' Sam smiled, cuddling her little baby girl.

'Congrats new mommy,' Danny told her, then leaning down and kissing her.

(April 1993)

'I'd like to give a toast to the newlyweds!' Tucker announced, clinking his champagne glass. The room fell silent. 'Danny, Sam, we've been friends since kindergarten and been through a hell of a lot together; through thick and thin. The best seventeen years of my life… As an unknown poet once said, "You don't marry someone you can live with, you marry the person who you cannot live without." And we all know that these two lovebirds can't live without each other.' Tucker raised his champagne glass and faced his best friends, 'In other words, I wish you guys a long and happy marriage.'

'Hear, hear!' Danny called out, then drinking some champagne.

After Sam drank some of her wine, she picked up their twenty-three-month-old daughter, Ashleigh and kissed her on the head.

'Hey, Ash, having fun?' Danny asked his daughter.

The little was busy sucking on her thumb, but she nodded anyway. Sam then gave Ashleigh to Tucker. She grabbed Danny's hand and took him out into the hallway.

'What's wrong?' the halfa asked, crossing his arms.

Sam smiled and held her stomach. 'I'm pregnant,' she whispered.

Her husband's face went into complete shock. 'A-are you sure?'

'Yep. I'm nine weeks along. I just found out last Wednesday,' Sam beamed.

'Oh, my God! Sam, we're having a baby!' Danny grabbed his wife by the waist, pulling her into a hug.

Sam wrapped her arms around Danny's neck tightly and then kissed him.

(March 1996)

'Happy twenty-fifth, Sam!' Danny cheered.

She blew out her candles on the cake and laughed. Tyler, one of her two-year-old twin sons, climbed onto his mom's lap and grabbed for the cake. He took a handful and stuffed it in his tiny mouth. Danny, Sam, and Ashleigh began laughing really hard. Justin, whom Ashleigh was holding, just stared at all of them blankly and confused.

A minute later, Tyler took another handful of cake and smooshed a little on Sam's face. She burst into laughter. Danny threw her a towel and she wiped the cake off her face. Sam then kissed her son on the cheek and then put him on the floor.'

'How does it feel to be twenty-five, Sammy?' Danny asked cheerfully.

'It feels awesome! I love you so much Danny!' Sam replied spiritedly, very much unlike her gothic lifestyle.

(October 2006)

The film stopped and tear tracks became visible along Sam's face. That was the last time they had filmed an event before Danny died. It was so sudden and unexpected. Someone had broken into the Axion labs with a gun and shot six people; Danny being one of them. His ghostly ego tried stopping the gunman, but was shot several times. Danny had rescued everyone in the building and the gunman was arrested, but the halfa was still in critical condition. He was taken to ICU after he had been complaining to Sam that he was having trouble breathing for over an hour. The first night he was in the hospital, Danny had a stoke. Sam insisted that it was from the shock of being shot and from endless years of ghost fighting. Two days later, when he was brought into surgery, he died. Sam had been in a depressive state of mind ever since. Things she used to enjoy were now meaningless. No matter how much she wanted the pain to go away, nothing could help.

"Mom?" Ashleigh walked in.

"Yeah, hon?" Sam answered.

"I made dinner. You gonna join us?" she asked softly.

"Not tonight, Ash. I'm not really in the mood."

"Oh, it's the anniversary, isn't it?" Ashleigh guessed.

Sam nodded. "Ten years this week."

"Oh, alright then. I'll leave you a plate in the kitchen, okay?"

"Thanks, Ashleigh. I love you."

"Love you too."

After Ashleigh left, Sam turned put on another video.

'Sammy, come on! Get up!' a nine-year-old Danny called to her. He and Tucker were roller-skating in the street.'

'I'm going to fall down again!' she insisted.

'I won't let you!' Danny laughed, grabbing her hand.

They actually were able to skate a little bit before falling. Danny, however, was able to catch Sam right before she hit the ground. She then kissed her best friend on the cheek.

'What was that for?' he asked, in total confusion.

'You didn't let me fall,' she reminded him, smiling the entire time.

Actually, the idea for this story came from a dream of mine. In it important events from my lifetime played on a screen. It was actually pretty amazing. So… yeah.
