Danny's POV

-

I ended up sleeping in a bit on Saturday until 12 noon. As I got up, I made my way down stairs to get myself a bowl of cereal; the usual breakfast. Once I was finished, I headed back upstairs to my bedroom to get a shower and change into what I was going to wear during the day.

Sam Manson and Tucker Foley, my two best friends, had arranged with me to meet in the park to hang out. As I walked there, I saw Sam but no Tuck. "Hey, where's Tuck at?" I asked as soon as I was in hearing distance.

"He said he wasn't 'feeling well'" Sam replied with annoyance very evident in her voice. So, I just nodded and we began walking around and talking.

"So, what'd you wanna do today?" Sam asked me as we stopped walking.

"Well, I was thinking how about we go to our secret spot by the river?" I asked.

"Sure," She replied with a small smile, and we headed towards said place.

Now what's this spot? Well, a couple years back Sam, Tuck, and I myself had been playing around in the park and before we knew it we had stumbled upon the lovely domain that we've come to claim as our own.

The spot was a small, secluded area where there was a gigantic oak tree that kept us shaded from the sun when we sat on the patch of grass located directly underneath. A couple yards away, a small river lake type thing ran through, it was always fun to play around. The three of us used to always come around here, but as we grew older Tuck grew more and more into electronics and girls, and less into 'the spot'. Sam and I didn't mind much, it just meant more time to ourselves if it need be.

Amazingly, though, that through all the years we've been friends, no one else had found the area. For that we were glad, because it would be terribly bad if someone else started to come and ruin the area where many memories were shared.

Those memories are a tale for another day, so, on with the story. Sam and I laid down and gazed at the sky, all the while saying at random intervals what some of the cloud looked like to us.

We hadn't realized it, but, the day had begun to go by quiet quickly and it was decided that ice-cream was a must. Finally, once the ice-cream was bought and half way eaten, we had made it back to our spot. From there on we plopped down onto the grass once more, but this time sitting and being propped up against the giant tree.

"so…" Sam said slowly.

"Yeah, so…" I replied nervously. Even though neither of us wanted to prove it, there was some kind of tension growing between the two of us. Jazz had found out and she said 'It's just your hormones. You two are starting to like each other in a way that means more than friends. I expected it would come some time….' She had continued to ramble, but, I just ended up ignoring her and thinking about how I could ever end up having a crush on my best friend.

As I had been thinking this, Sam must have made up her mind on something because she turned towards me and was about to speak. I saw this, and waited for her to continue.

Gladly, she did, "Danny, there's something that I think we should discuss." It was very out of character, but, what she was about to say next was very important.

"You've noticed, as well as I, that there's been some awkward moments happening between the two of us…" She paused. Sam herself looked a tad bit nervous, and looked as if she were struggling to find the right words she wanted to say. And man did she look cute with that face— WAIT! HOLD UP!

DID I JUST THINK THAT!?

I decided to ponder on that thought later on, and so instead I subconsciously leaned closer towards her and nodded, "Yes, go on,"

She took a deep breath, "I-I-I think I've grown to like you…as more than a friend."

Once she had finished speaking, Sam had taken a deep breath and blushed. Instead of thinking as to what I was going to do next I just leaned forward some more, grabbed hold of her chin/jaw in a soft, caring gesture while all the more pulling her head to mine.

The beautiful goth before me had already begun to close her eyes, as did I, as we were both leaning in towards each other. My kiss to her would have followed through too….only, we were interrupted.

By what, you might ask, had interrupted our beautiful moment? My ghost sense, that's what.

My god damned, STUPID ghost sense.

Sam opened her eyes fully as she had noticed too and pulled back, blushing, while realizing what we were about to do. While she blushed, I grumbled with annoyance. For once in my life, could I not just be a normal teenager! FOR ONCE IN MY LIFE!

But, no that was too much to ask for.

Anyway, Sam had seen my annoyance and said with a sigh, "You should go, who knows, it could be an important ghost,"

"Yeah, important my ass," I muttered once more before standing up and 'Going Ghost'. As quick as I had transformed into my halfa form I had already begun flying upwards and back out into the normal park area.

"Ah, Daniel my boy, long time so see." I quickly turned around. Standing right before me was my arch rival, Plasmius— but better known as Vlad.

"What are you doing here?" I questioned with rudeness.

"Just come to check up on Maddie, and you, my boy," The half before me spoke with great arrogance and rudeness.

"What are you really here for, " I asked again, "my mother, my father's death, myself, or my own death?"

"Nothing of the sort, actually," He grinned. Oh, how I hated that grin, "I just came to say goodbye (1)."

"Goodbye?" I asked confusedly. He had already begun to piss me off.

"Why, of course, because once your idiot of a father is gone you will be too." Vlad/Plasmius spoke with a smirk filled to the brim with vengeance.

"LIKE HELL YOU WILL!" I screamed at him. And with that I began to fly swiftly towards him. Once I was in range, I fired an ecto plasmic ball at him.

Of course, though, he dodged and sent one of his own at me; which I, too, dodged, "I don't have to defeat you to kill you." Vlad spoke with an eerie spook to it.

"What are you—" I never got to finish my sentence. Vlad had flown closer to where I had been just moments before with Sam. It seemed that Sam was still there, waiting against the Oak Tree.

Right before my eyes, without any action from me to slow the process down, Vlad had conjured up one of his own ecto plasmic balls which he then aimed at Sam.

I stayed where I was for a moment too long, all the while screaming, "NO! NO! NOT SAM! DON'T YOU DARE SHOOT THAT AT HER!"

My enemy had just continued to ignore me while perfecting his aim and firing at Sam…
