Dani is back! :3

After settling down in Charlotte, NC, Dani's life is just about perfect. She was the local hero, she had lots of friends, and Danny helped set her up so she was set for life. But there's something missing – Danny.

She misses her cousin like nothing else. And even though they kept in touch and talk all the time, it's not the same.

So, when her ghost powers decide to go haywire, can Danny and Sam help her, before she turns into a pile of ectolpasmic goo?

Read on to find out... :3

Enjoy! :3

Danny POV

Last time i'd seen Dani, she had been speeding off into the sunset, her new life waiting for her. Even though i heard from her at least once a day – she had settled in Charlotte after finding out that they too had been experiencing ghost problems and was now the towns hero, just like i was here at Amity Park – i still felt lonely without her. It was like a piece of my soul had left when she had. It just didn't make sense.

"what's wrong?" Sam said and put her hand on mine. I squeezed it. If it wasn't for Dani, i don't think me and Sam would have ever gotten together. I owed her so much.

"just... thinking." I said. She looked at me, her eyes lilac eyes sparkling in the sunlight, but i could see past them. She was worried, and a touch frustrated. I had been like this ever since Dani had left, and i knew she was getting frustrated with me because i wouldn't tell her. But i knew i couldn't. She'd take it the wrong way, and get jealous. Either that or she'd think i was being pathetic.

Tucker knew. I knew he wouldn't tell Sam, because he thought she'd react the same as he did. Tucker was pretty much down my throat with questions when i told him. Asking if i was in love with her or not. It wasn't like that between me and Dani. It was like she was my sister, or my mother. Someone extremely close to me. Someone i couldn't live without.

We were through the mall, looking for Sam so we could go to the movies.

"you know, it's pretty reasonable to think of her as a part of you." Tucker said.

"who, Dani?" i asked.

"yeah." Tucker said. "and to miss her the way you do."

"why's that?" i asked intently. Tucker always seemed to have answers to everything. And if he didn't he was determined to find it. One of the many things i liked about Tuck.

"well, technically she is a part of you. Vlad had created her from a part of you, remember? It'd be just like losing your lungs or your stomach or something. And you worry about her, even if you think you don't. You like to make sure she's ok. It's like you like to know if Sam's ok or if i'm ok. Because you care about her, just like you care about yourself." He said and smiled.

I hadn't really thought of it that way. Her actually being a part of me, us being linked in a strange way, but it still felt normal. Like that was the way it was supposed to be.

"Danny, something's wrong. Please tell me." Sam begged. I hated seeing her like this. It tore me apart.

"you really should tell her Danny. She has a right to know." Tucker said, but didn't look up from his game. As usual, Tuck was playing a video game on one of the million and one gadgets he keeps in his pockets.

"tell me what?" she exclaimed. "you told tucker, but you won't even tell your girlfriend?" she said, her voice creeping towards hysteria.

"its not that i didn't want to tell you Sam, i'm just afraid how you will react." I said simply, looking down.

"what on earth would be so difficult to tell your own girlfriend that she would react badly?" she said incredulously.

"i miss Dani. Like, a lot." I said, keeping my head down.

"oh." She mouthed.

"it's not like i love her, Sam. I only love you, trust me to that. But its like a piece of me has gone, and that's not something i can easily fix." I said.

"that's understandable." She said, completely throwing me off guard. I'd expected her to start screaming at me. "i mean, she technically is a part of you. So it would be silly not to miss her. It'd be like not missing a part of yourself." She said and crossed her arms.

I looked up, and she was smiling at me.

"so you're not mad at all?" i said.

"nope. Why would she get us together if she only wanted us to fall apart? When you were gone one day, she confined everything to me. She feels like you do; only she doesn't love me, like that anyway. She loves me like a sister, and she wants you to be happy. I guess that's why she always keeps in contact with you. It's like you guys have interconnected thoughts or something. You always know when something's wrong with her, and she always knows when there's something wrong with you."

I smiled. It was times like this when i just wanted her. She amazed me how she could be so nonchalant about it.

Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!

I jumped in the air as my phone vibrated so bad it jumped out of my pocket and started vibrating on the ground. I picked it up and turned the vibration off, then checked who it was from. It was from Dani.

The excitement in my face was obvious.

"Dani?" Tucker said without looking up. Sam nodded, then went back to playing with my hand.

My face dropped when i read the message.

Danny,

Something really bad has happened. But i don't know what. And idk how it happened. I really need your help right now.

?

Love Dani xoxo

I looked up in horror. Tucker looked at me and his face was a mirror image of mine after seeing my face.

"what's wrong?" he asked. I didn't even reply, i was too busy dialling her number into my phone.

Ooooh! What a bad cliffhanger! What happened to me? *checks body*

Will Dani be ok?
