Hey guys! I'm back with a new story! So basically this is going to be a whole bunch of one shot-drabble type things having to do with mostly Danny and Sam, but with the occasional Tucker and Jazz going on, like in this story which includes both!
I know I should totally be working on "Danny's Mentor" but I've been really distracted lately with work and getting ready for school.
This fic is dedicated to my loving boyfriend who used this song on our one year anniversary to tell me how much he really loved me and was sorry he couldn't be there with me (cause he goes to school in a different city).
Enjoy!
The dance had been a total bummer as far as Danny Fenton, Sam Manson and Tucker Foley thought. All of the A-list students had gotten drunk and watching them fall over or cry or puke were no longer entertaining to watch. The trio of friends were standing against the wall when Jazz came over to talk to them.
"Come on guys! This is the last inter-grade dance of the year! I still have prom, but you guys only have this to tide you over. Come dance!" Jazz said cheerily. She had finally found some friends in the eleventh grade and now, a year later, she loved going to dances.
"Jazz, that's exactly it. We have all the dances next year." Danny said stifling a yawn.
"Tucker, you're coming to dance with me. You haven't danced with a girl all night," Jazz grabbed his arm and pulled him away.
Sam leaned over and whispered to Danny, "Not for lack of trying that's for sure."
Danny laughed because Tucker had been getting shot down by girls all night and now, here was his sister asking him. He realized how weird that was, as his mind ran through all of the most awkward scenarios.
Sam, knowing her boyfriend was freaking out about it, put her hand on his shoulder. "Danny, calm down, it's just one dance." She said that to make him feel better but she knew that Tucker had feelings for the red-head and the other girls were a distraction.
Danny was about to say something but decided it wasn't important. "Let's just go dance or something before Jazz tries to make us again."
They moved out onto the dance floor, awkwardly dancing with Tucker and Jazz until a slow song came on. Tucker meekly asked Jazz to dance and she was happy to oblige.
Danny held his hand out to the Goth who took it and stepped closer to him. "This song sounds familiar." She pondered.
Danny smiled. He knew this song off by heart. His parents may have been teens during the 70's but they listened to a lot of Elvis so he knew his songs well, this particular one being his favourite. Instead of telling Sam what the song was called, he started singing at the same time Elvis did.
Wise men say
Only fools rush in
But I can't help
Falling in love with you
Shall I stay?
Would it be a sin?
If I can't help
Falling in love with you
Sam blushed and rested her head on Danny's shoulder. They hadn't said I love you yet and she couldn't process the thought of this song being his way of saying it and whether or not he meant it. Danny hugged her tightly and kept singing softly to her. She never realized how good his singing voice was.
During the musical interlude, Danny lifted Sam's chin and looked into her eyes. "It's true you know. I do love you very much Sam."
Uncharacteristically of her, Sam's eyes started to tear up and she kissed Danny with all her heart. "I love you too, you big sap." She chuckled.
Like a river flows
Surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
Some things are meant to be
Take my hand
Take my whole life too
For I can't help
Falling in love with you
The two of them danced while looking into each other's eyes while a few feet away, Tucker was snapping pictures with his PDA. "Why do you do that?" Jazz asked.
"To have memories for their wedding album, it's for sure going to happen one day."
Jazz rolled her eyes but looking at her brother, she knew it was true. "He really loves her doesn't he?"
Tucker nodded. "He really does. He tells me sometimes when she isn't around."
"Look at them, only sixteen and completely in love. None of that high school romance bullshit, but the real thing."
"As much as I tease them for it, I'm really happy for them and I can't wait to feel that way and have someone return those feelings." Tucker said eyeing his best friend's older sister.
"You will Tuck. The girls as school might not see it, but you're a pretty great guy. Any guy who would jump off that balcony in the mattress factory just to make sure I had a softer landing is admirable and brace, even with that hint of recklessness."
The last verse of the song was playing and while Danny sang it softly to Sam wholeheartedly telling her how he felt, Tucker found himself humming the tune and thinking of the older, beautiful, intelligent red-headed girl he was dancing with.
Like a river flows
Surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
Some things are meant to be
Take my hand
Take my whole life too
For I can't help
Falling in love
With you
For I can't help
Falling in love
With
You.
He looked at Sam, whose eyes were full of happiness as she mouthed "Go for it!" And he did. While it may not have been romantic and exactly what he really wanted to do, he leaned and kissed Jazz on the cheek, still earning a deep blush from her. She smiled at him and said, "We should do this again. Maybe at Prom?"
Tucker nodded and gave her a tight hug just as Danny turned around to see it. "I'll explain later," Sam said. "For now, do you want to head home? My parents are gone and I'd love to cuddle and watch a movie."
Danny smiled and led Sam out of the Gymnasium. "I really mean it. I can't help falling in love with you Sam."
"I know Danny. I love you too." She replied kissing him on the field under the stars.
Neither of them noticed the picture being taken by Tucker.
"This one's going on the cover."
There is was! I hope you all enjoyed it and the next chapter should be out within the next week since I've already written half of it.
It'll be titled "Generations of Daddy"
