Here's Chapter 1

It was almost a year since the incident with the Couple's Dance, nearly everyone forgot about it, some people, though, think about it every single day and is still thinking about it this very moment. Unfortunately, the selected winners that sang out their love for each other did not get together. They say it was only because of the 'spur of the moment' or 'Cupid's Spell', but I know that it's all just a bunch of bologna!

But why dwell in the past? It was only a few days 'til Christmas, every one was getting ready for this big holiday, rushing around trying to get all of their last minute shopping squeezed in before break. The town of Amity Park was lit up like a shining star with millions of marvelous colors decorating houses. Cars filled the street, though it was late at night, coming home for the holidays as a small blanket of snow slowly began to cover Amity Park.

"Ah...Christmas," smiled a teenage specter gazing at the town below her. "what a wonderful holiday, everyone's singing and dancing and..." she glanced around the dull city with people too worried about presents to even think about its true meaning. She was wearing a red and green striped scarf with shoulder length hair like Danny's, pitch black. Also instead of her usual violet shirt, she decided to wear a green one for this season.

"Seems like no one's in the Christmas spirit this year." she sighed, and then she got an idea, an idea that would change the people of Amity Park's definition of Christmas for a very long time... "But luckily, I know how to solve that..." Stephanie smirked and gazed up into the sky.

Then she shot up high into the air, twirling around rapidly with her hands reaching out in front of her. The snow that was once falling freely got caught in it and began to spin with her, spinning faster and faster..."Everyone singing, dancing and holiday cheer…" the ghost began to chant as a purplish mist also began to emerge her hands and spread all over making every single snowflake new and old become different in the slightest way, "make this an unforgettable Christmas year!" she shouted out and then she stopped sending all of it throughout the town.

"That should take care of everything until they realize..." A loud ringing erupted from the enormous grandfather clock in town square alarming the people that the clock just stroked midnight. "Whoops, I've stayed here too long, time to get back to the Ghost Zone…" And with that, she hurried away to Fenton Works back to where she had come from.

Nobody in this small town had seen nor heard what had just happened. They all carried on with their duties. But as soon as the young ghost flew off a young teenage girl came out to go for a walk this wonderful night. The sidewalks were covered in slush from the cars that passed by that showered it with the water in the streets. This girl usually wasn't really into the whole 'Christmas' thing, to her it wasn't really a big deal. Her family had a lot of money, so she could get whatever she wanted every single day. Christmas was just another excuse for every body to go running around to spend a whole lot of money for something that will just end up in the garbage next year. Her friends and family ask her every year, 'what would you like for Christmas?', but the one thing that she wants, can't be bought in any stores and won't be brought under her Christmas tree this year. Speaking of which…

"Merry Christmas!" Bright green eyes popped out in front of her face. The girl gave a small scream; she wasn't expecting him out here this late. He gave a small chuckle.

"Gosh, Danny, you scared the hell out of me!" She stopped dead in her tracks holding her hand over her heart. The pulse was faster than usual.

"Sorry, Sam," He laughed, "Why are you out here so late?" he asked zipping up his jacket. It wouldn't really matter whether or not he wore one, since he's in his ghost form, but he felt better wearing it.

"Just…going out for a walk…" Sam told him looking at the path they were taking instead of looking at her friend as they continued to walk again, "You?"

"Eh, my ghost sense went off so I decided go check it out." Danny explained, "But, it's kind of hard to tell this time of year." He took a quick look at his watch and turned back to her. "I know I just got here and it's getting late, but I could stay if you wan-"

"No, its fine Danny. Besides, I guess you're right, I'll be heading back soon myself." She assured him. Danny gave her a small smile before turning invisible and shooting off.

She stared at the spot where he had just been and continued from where they had left off. Sam thought it was kind of funny how Dan could appear and reappear without anybody even noticing. As she passed by small shops and toy stores she gazed at all of the wonderful things they had out by the front window. Big teddy bears with a single shiny red ribbon tied perfectly in a bow around their necks and Christmas lights along every edge of the shops. The sight seemed just marvelous to her, even though her parents had always thrown parties and gatherings in which her whole house was decorated top to bottom, but to her, it wasn't the same.

Inside of the store she saw a boy handing the cashier his money for one of the big bears. After the cashier ringed it up and handed him the recite the young boy turned to young girl beside him. With a warm smile, he happily gave the bear to her. She gladly accepted it, squeezing it tight, placing a gentle kiss on the boy's cheek. His green eyes grew big as he realized what was happening and both cheeks changed to a light shade of crimson.

Sam sighed pulling away from the store and back to the side walk path. Then she began to notice that now everyone around her, busy or not, was with that special some one. A blonde couple passed her humming a holiday tune while holding hands as the lady laid her head against the man's shoulder. Another pair across the street from Sam kissed passionately after saying 'I love you'.

This had only made her wish even more that it was the same for her and Danny.

Music began to play in a nice rhythm, but she didn't really notice it since music was every where this time of year. But this song in particular seemed to stand out even more. The girl got a strange feeling in her throat and then she felt her self begin to sing along with it.

"Last night I took a walk in the snow…" She sang in a sort of hushed voice,

"Couples holding hands, places to go… Seems like everyone but me is in love- Santa can you hear me!" She yelled out head up to the sky, and the people around her stopped to look at her. Sam felt pretty strange in her position, but kept going on.

"I signed my letter that I sealed with a kiss…" Sam sang again in a hushed voice, but projected, blowing a kiss.

"I sent it off; it just said this- I know exactly what I want this year, Santa can you hear me?" The girl noticed that the people inside of the stores and outside of them started to circle around her.
"I want my baby;" She wrapped her arms around herself and spun around, being careful not to run into her audience.

"I want someone to love me someone to hold. Maybe, he'll be all my own in a big red bow," Before she knew it the world around her began to drift away, and she was no longer outside, surrounded by people. Instead Sam stood in her living room in front of her Christmas tree which covered many presents under them.

"Santa can you hear me?" All small but one big box stood out. "I have been so good this year and all I want is one thing" She ran to it, curious of what could be inside of it, but before she got the chance to open it the lid was pushed off.

"Tell me my true love is here" The girl let out a short high pitched squeal like any fan girl reading this would if they saw what was inside.

"He's all I want, just for me underneath my Christmas tree" Inside of the box was none other than, Danny Fenton with a big red bow on top of his messy hair.

"I'll be waiting here…" He held his arms and Sam tried to embrace him, but they just went right through.

"Santa that's my only wish this year…" She was surprised at what had happened and apparently so was he. As his eyes went wide and he starred at his hands, he soon materialized away.

"Oohhh ohh yeah" Sadly, the girl looked inside where he had once been and only the bow proved of his existence.

"Christmas Eve I just can't sleep" She sighed and turned to leave and there he was again, except on the other side of the room.

"Would I be wrong for taking a peek?" Danny stood there, arms crossed, waiting for someone and when his eyes moved towards her direction a big smile swept across his face and he waved excitedly.

"'Cause I heard that you're coming to town," Sam smiled and waved back.

"Santa can you hear me?" Hoping that this again wasn't another illusion, she ran towards him.

"I really hope that you're on your way," But someone ran past her…

"With something special for me in your sleigh…" She froze in her spot seeing the boy of her dreams embracing her rival, Paulina, both smiles ear to ear.

"Ohh please, make my wish come true" The Latino girl opened one emerald eye and smirked and let go of the boy.

"Santa can you hear me?," Then Danny placed his arm around her, turned and began to walk away leaving Sam alone.

"I want my baby;" The Goth girl clenched her teeth walking up to them and tried to grab the raven haired boy by the shoulder but her hand phased right through them both.

"I want someone to love me someone to hold." As they walked off their picture faded until there was nothing left.

"Maybe we'll be all the love under the mistletoe" Sam was getting tired of chasing someone who obviously wasn't here, with her, tonight.

"Santa can you hear me" But, the night wasn't over yet!

"I have been so good this year" Her eyes closed tight trying to fight back her tears at what was true, Danny didn't love her as she loved him and she had to deal with it.

"And all I want is one thing" No matter how painful it really was.

"Sam…" a familiar voice whispered from behind her.

"Tell me my true love is here" A hand was placed on her shoulder and spun her around to come face to face with a pair of baby blue eyes.

"He's all I want just for me" He gave her a warm smile and looked up at what he was holding above their heads.

"Underneath my Christmas tree" She followed his gaze to see him holding some mistletoe over their heads.

"I'll be waiting here… Santa that's my only wish this year" Sam's smile went from ear to ear and Danny's gaze turned back to her, staring into her delicate violet irises.

"I hope my letter reaches you in time" The girl loved all of the attention she was now getting from him forgetting that maybe this wasn't even real, but she didn't care.

"Bring me love can call all mine" Everything felt and looked so real, she wanted to stay here, wrapped up in his arms.

"'Cause I have been so good this year." Danny leaned forward holding on to her and she fell back in his arms.

"Can't be alone under the mistletoe" Both teens perked up their lips.

"He's all want and a big red bow" Right before the teens' lips touched a loud crash was heard outside.

"Santa can you hear me?" The ghost boy froze and his attention turned toward where the noise had come from.

"I have been so good this year" A blue wisp of smoke slowly escaped from his mouth and Stephanie the singing ghost smirked at the two.

"And all I want is one thing, tell me my true love is near!" He turned back to the girl he was holding and back to the ghost who hovered there arms crossed, waiting.

"He's all I want. Just for me, underneath my Christmas tree" Sam looked down, disappointed and gave a small nod.

"I'll be waiting here, Santa that's my only wish this year" With a soft cry of 'Going Ghost' two rings of light enveloped Danny's body transforming him into his alter ghost ego, Danny Phantom and he shot into the air leaving Sam to herself once more.

"Oh Santa, can u hear me? Oh Santa" She walked over to one of her windows and watched as the boy she loved so dearly chased after the ghost, Stephanie.

"Well he's all I want, just for me- underneath my Christmas tree" The Goth girl sighed and leaned against the window pane, in her lonesome, and looked over at her Christmas tree. The room that she was in began to spin around her, and slowly everything came back, leaving her alternate reality. She saw the eyes of Amity Park were still focused on her, it was only a fantasy.

"Oh I'll be waiting here," Sam took off her snow hat and held it to her chest, "Santa that's my only wish this year."

The song ended as the music faded, clapping filled her ears and her face turned red once again as she put on a nervous smile. The couples, friends, and families soon departed, but a few of them walked up to her and dropped some money into an old crushed top hat that she had stepped on by accident while singing. Sam hadn't noticed it before and the people probably thought she was some street singer that sang for money. She didn't need the money; she had plenty back at home, but still picked it up. She took the money out to count it, there were some twenty dollar bills, ones and some change in it.

'$61.32, maybe I should do this for a living-' Sam thought starring at the fortune she made. Bells chimed throughout the street interrupting her thoughts, and she saw at the corner of the path she was walking was a man dressed up in a velvet red suit with white wool cuffs. The man was pretty big around the middle and had a long curly beard and crystal eyes that glistened. He was ringing an ol' fashioned bell saying 'Ho, ho, ho…' in front of a store standing next to a pal that only held a few shiny nickels for the charity he was there for. People walked by him, ignoring the desperate cries or reasons to spare just a few dollars to help those people. To his surprise a girl, looking no older than 15, walked up to him with a warm smile and placed a great deal of money into the near empty pal.

"Thank you." He said, pausing for a moment.

"Merry Christmas." She replied giving a warm smile.

"Merry Christmas, dear." He said in a hushed tone as he watched her head back in the opposite direction she was originally going.

That was very nice of Sam, to do that for him; no one really cared about what he was trying to do. But Sam didn't really notice how she had sung in front off all of those people, in a daze, it felt like a dream to her. When she returned to her home, running up the porch steps she suddenly realized what she had done.
