Part 11

Brrrring ring Brrrring ring
Danny clicked the alarm off and got up. He rubbed his eyes and yawned. He had had the craziest dream. No, a nightmare. Sam was kidnapped by Skulker who was working with all of his other enemies... WAIT!!! That wasn't a dream! He looked out the window yawning. The sun was rising. Sunrise... Sunrise... Oh no! He was late!
Danny- Going ghost! yawn
He flew off sleepily toward the cliff to get ready to save Sam. When he got there-
Valerie- You know, you were the one who said to get here at sunrise, and we got here before you.
Danny looked at Valerie, then at Plasmius, expecting him to say something, too. Surprizingly he didn't. Vlad just stood there with his hands in his pockets. Now, nobody ever knew this, but every morning he gets up at around this time, because his window has a perfect view of the sunrise. But Vlad never told a soul (or human) about that. If word got out, he would never be feared by a ghost again.
Danny- Uh, Plasmius? Knock, knock. Anybody home?
Vlad- Huh? Snapping back to reality Oh! Yeah. Okay. You wanna go now?
Danny- Okay. Listen... (He hadn't thought up an excuse to use his parents portal without giving away his identity, but he thought of something. Every ghost in the ghost zone knows about that portal.) Uh. The Fenton's have a portal to the ghost zone. We can use that to get there. Valerie, I'll phase you through the wall.
Valerie- Ugh... Do I have to go in you're way? The Fenton's know me. They'll let me in.
Danny- Not without drawing attention to the ghosts.
Valerie opened her mouth to speak, but closed it. She had to give in.
Valerie- Fine.
Danny paused for a moment. Then he looked at the sun.
Vlad- Uh, Daniel? Valerie?
Danny whistled- Wow. Isn't it awesome?
Valerie- Huh?
Danny- The sunrise. It's awesome.
Valerie- Yeah. Heh, heh. You know, I never thought a ghost could like something like that.
Danny- As amazing as this sounds, they can. We have free will, too.
Valerie- Sorry, sorry. It's just, I don't much like ghosts.
Danny- Not many people do.
Vlad- Hello? snaps fingers in there faces Wake up. We have to go. Now.
He didn't want to start gazing at sunrise too, and risk losing his reputation. He was already risking it helping these two. He hadn't even been asked. He, much to his surprise, had felt this... compelling force, that made him want to volenteer to help them. He shook the thought out of his head.
Danny- Okay. Let's go get Sam.
Danny flew off. Back to the exact same place he had just left. Valerie and Vlad followed close behind. Once they got to the Ghost Zone, they crouched behind some bushes near Skulker's layer. Danny looked up at a floating cage with a human inside.
Danny- There's Sam. Everyone ready?
They nodded yes. Suddenly-
Ember- Hey! The kid's here! Get him!
Skulker, Desiree, Poindexter, the Lunchlady, Dragon, Ember, Spectra, the Box Ghost, and Klemper surrounded Danny, Valerie and Vlad. Hypness stayed behind, waiting to watch the battle, popcorn in hand.

Part 12

Sam- Uh... Not that I'm not glad, but why are you just sitting here?
Hypness- Because, they're going to get that ghost-kid and bring him to me. Then I'm going to zap his memory.
Sam- No! Wait- what?
Hypness- I'm going to zap his memory so that when he looks at me he sees you, and when he looks at you, he sees me.
Sam- WHAT?! Then he'll attack me!
Hypness- I know, and he'll be in love with me.
Sam's stomach leapt to her throught- Wh-Wh-What?
Hypness- Boy, is he a cutie with a capital Q! Puts on headphones and starts Baby Boy by Beyonce
Sam sat at the back of the cage. Hypness liked Danny? So that was what this was all about. She was hoping beyond hope that Danny would beat them. She could see it from there, but she didn't want to watch.
With Danny, Valerie, and Vlad
Danny had told each one of them which ghost to go after. Valerie would get Poindexter, the Box Ghost, and that ghost that says,"Will you be my friend?" all the time. They were the easiest.
Vlad would get the Lunchlady, Ember, and Spectra.
Danny would get Skulker, Desiree, and the Dragon.
Danny- You guys know what to do!
Danny went for the dragon first, ripping the amulet off. Vlad was doing great, as he had gone against worse. The Box Ghost, Poindexter, and the "Will you be my friend?" ghost were unconcious already, and Valerie was helping Vlad.
Danny kicked Skulker in the chin, sending him flying backward. He shot a ghost ray at Desiree to knock her out. Then he looked around. All the ghosts were actually defeated! As Danny felt a sweep of pride go over him, he felt an arm close around his neck, holding him tightly.
Skulker- Thought you beat me, eh GhostChild?
Danny couldn't break free, and Skulker was choking him. After a while, he gave up, and he stopped struggling. He was knocked out, and he changed back in the air.
Valere- Oh, no. It's- it's- it's not! Danny cannot be the the ghostkid...
Suddenly, Skulker let go, sending Danny falling to the ground.

Part 13

(this is done in Valeries point of view)
Oh my God. I was stunned. Danny was the ghost-boy? No wonder he never actually hit me! Then, Skulker let go of Danny, sending him unconcious to the ground. I thought for a minute. Danny had been so nice ever since that whole Ghost-King-taking-over-the-city thing happened. But he was Danny Phantom! I wouldn't help him! Never.
But I had helped him already, trying to save Sam. He looked so helpless plummeting through the air. Oh, fine, I told nyself. I'll do it.
Sam screamed- Danny! No!
I looked at that other ghost helping us, hoping he would help him instead of me. Nope, he didn't. I mean he couldn't. Skulker was fighting him. I had no choice. I rocketed towards Danny, my arms out to grab him. When I finally got him, I flew to where that Hypness couldn't see me, and I shot her to Kingdom Come! Then I was feeling so proud, and I grabbed Sam.
Sam- Valerie, wha-
Me- Shut up and get on!
She did, and, still holding Danny, I shot Skulker unconcious.
Plasmius- Wow, you're good with that equipment.
Where had I heard that before?
Me- Take Danny.
Plasmius- Why?!
Me- Do it!
Plsmius- But you know? About him?
Me- Yeah, now take him!
I didn't wait for an answer. I threw Danny at him, and Plasmius caught him. He held him carefully, and Sam gave him a You-better-not look.
Plasmius- Don't worry, Ms. Manson, he'll be fine. Wow, he got a pretty hard blow from Skulker. We better get him to a hospital.
Sam glared at him. I didn't know why.
Me- Follow me.
Together we flew to the Hospital. We were going to bring Sam home, but she wanted to stay with Danny, so Plasmius flew away, glad to be done helping. I flew away on my rocket-powered glider, hoping not to see Danny again for a while.

Part 14

(this is done from Dannys point of view)
When I woke up, I breathed a sigh of relief. Was it all a dream? I looked around, but I was to weak to move. No. It wasn't a dream. I was hurt, and I was in the hospital. I read one of the Get-Well-Soon Cards on the table next to me. It was from Tuck.
Danny-
Get well soon, man, alright? Don't scare me like that again! Jeez! Anyway, you're parents don't suspect a thing. They think you got hit in the head w/ a baseball!
-Tuck
I laughed. He had used his favorite blue pen. I yawned and felt a searing pain in my chest. Wow, Skulker got me pretty hard. I rolled over to my left and almost jumped! Sam was sitting there, asleep. She was sitting on the floor with her head on the side of the bed. It was a relief (and confusing) to see her safe and sound. I hated to wake her up, but I had to.
Me- (whispering) Sam?
I tapped her as gently as I could, and she woke up.
Sam- Danny! You're okay!
She hugged me while I lay down, and for the first time in a looooooooooong time, I smiled.
Me- Sam, what happened? One minute I'm being choked by Skulker, and the next, I'm in a hospital bed!
Sam- Calm down, Danny! I'll tell you everything, okay?
She did. I listened through the whole thing. I was surprised when she said Vlad carried me there, though. You see, before I woke up there, I had a wierd dream. In the dream, it was ten years ago when I was 4. My mom was carrying me to my room after a long car trip. It felt so real though. Was I having that dream when Vlad was carrying me to the hospital? I shook the thought out of my head.
Sam- And then that's it. I fell asleep here.
I was still thinking about that dream. I was hard to imagine my worst enemy carrying me without dropping me on purpose.
Me- Huh? Oh, right.
Sam- Didn't you hear me? Valerie knows!
I felt like I was gonna puke all over her- What?!
Sam- Yeah! I said that already, remember? The point is, she still saved you!
I gulped. Valerie knew? What would she do to me? So what if she still saved me! She only had like 3 seconds to decide whether or not to!
I must have been showing how scared I was. Sam noticed- Danny, calm down! That doesn't matter right now. What does is that Hypness is still out there! And she can come here at any time!

Part 15

Danny- Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh.
Sam- Danny calm down!
Danny- Oh my GOSH!!!!!
Sam slapped him- Sorry I slapped you. You needed that.
Danny- Thanks.
Sam- You okay?
Danny- I am now. Okay, so Valerie knows my secret, I'm in the Amity Park Hospital, and Hypness is after me. I can handle that right?
Sam- Uh... gulp Danny, look. I need to tell you something. I might not get another chance. Or maybe I sould show you. Kisses him
Danny, holding his cheek with a dreamy look on his face- Uh... wow.
Sam- Yeah, I probably should've done that a while ago.
Danny- Yeah.
Sam- I feel like an idiot.
Danny- Don't. Kisses her I probably should've told you that a while ago. And I think I've known about you liking me for a while now.
Sam giggled- Sorry I got so mad at you for not showin up at my house. It wasn't your fault.
Danny- Heh, heh. Yeah.
Just then, Danny's parents burst in with Jazz, and a doctor.
Doctor- How many times do I have to tell you, Jack? There is not a ghost in your son's room!
Jack- But look!Pulls out ghost tracker
Ghost Tracker- Ghost directly ahead. I'm getting tired of this. Can't you see the ghost directly ahead?!?!?!
Danny blushed.
Jazz- Dad, that thing obviously doesn't work! It keeps going on Danny, who is clearly not a ghost!
Danny smiled at her and winked.
Doctor- Good news, Mr. Fenton, you and your dad, thank goodness can go home tomorrow. You're healing marvelously from that baseball hitting you in the head.
Danny stifled a laugh. Baseball, yeah right!
Sam's cell phone ringed- Sorry. answers it Hey, mom.
She talked to her mom, saying things like "but Danny's still here!" and "Why do I have to?" and "But mom!"
Sam hung up the phone- Sorry, Danny, I have to go. Get well soon, alright?
Danny- Bye, Sam. See ya tomorrow?
Sam- Yeah, come over to my house, okay? Right after school?
Danny- Won't miss it. I mean I really won't miss it!
Jazz and Danny's mom looked at Sam leaving and gave Danny that, "We-know-what's-going-on-between-you-and-that-girl" look.
Danny rolled his eyes, but he knew they were right!

Part 16

the next day, Sam, Tucker, and Danny are at Sam's house, and Tucker is listening to what happened
Tuck- Then what?
Sam- Well then, Hypness told me about what she really planned to do with Danny. She wanted to zap his memory!
Danny and Tuck- Why?
Sam- Well, um...
Tuck- What?
Sam- I'd rather not say it.
Danny- You know you can tell us.
Sam- Okay. She wanted to zap your memory so when you looked at me, you saw her, and the other way around.
Danny stared at her- Why would she do that?
Sam- Because you would attack me.
She remembered what Hypness had said. And he'll be in love wih me. Sam didn't tell them about that.
Danny- gulp Wow. Alright, look guys, Hypness is really hard to beat. So far, I haven't even been able to scratch her, even with that new ghostly wail. And there isn't much time.
That last word rang in Danny's head. Time, time, time... Why? What did that have to do with anything? Then it hit him.
Danny- THAT'S IT!!!!
Tuck and Sam- What's i-
Before they could ask him, Danny turned into Danny Phantom and flew Sam and Tucker to the one person who could help them defeat Hypness.

Part 17

Danny landed in the Ghost Zone with Sam and Tucker in front of the one and only, Clockwork's lair.
Sam- Why the heck are we at another one of your enemys' homes?
Danny sighed- I know you can't remember this, but Clockwork isn't my enemy. If it weren't for him, you and Tucker wouldn't be here.
Sam- What?
Danny explained everything, then told them how he sent Danny back in time and erased what had happened. Then he flew them inside, but they didn't see Clockwork.
Danny- Clockwork?
Clockwork appeared in front them- What do you want? Oh! Danny!
Danny- Clockwork, I need your help... again.
Clockwork- Yes, yes, I know, Hypness, right?
Danny, Sam, and Tucker nodded.
Clockwork- Sorry, can't help you.
Danny- What? But, why?
Clockwork sighed- Danny, I told you that I can see the future, what will and what could happen, so you know I must have a reason for not helping you.
Danny blinked.
Clockwork sighed again- I know what will happen, and I cannot interfere, to put it a bit simpler.
Danny- gulp But you said-
Clockwork stopped him- Danny, I say again, there is a reason I cannot help you defeat her. You have to do it without me, or it will permanently alter the time stream.
Danny- But-
Cockwork- No. Trust me, you'll thank me later. Literally. I know. But then, I know everything.
He clicked the button on his staff, sending the three friends back to Sam's house.
Danny, who is changing back- Well, that was a complete waste of time.
Sam- Danny, look at the clock. Clockwork sent us back 3 minutes to when we were here.
Danny- Oh. Okay then.
Tucker's cell phone beeped under the mountain of technology in his backpack. He answered it.
As he put it back- Sorry guys, I gotta go home for dinner.
Sam and Danny- Bye, Tuck.
For the next hour, Sam and Danny played Jak 3 on Sam's PS2, until Danny had to go home, too.

Part 18

Danny was stepping off of Sam's stoop after a night of video games.
Danny- I still cannot believe you beat that level! You are so lucky!
Sam giggled- It's not luck, I'm just talented.
Danny kidded- Yeah, sure.
He rolled his eyes then stepped up to kiss Sam on the cheek again.
Sam- Thanks.
Danny- Any time.
(Author's note: At this point, all audience members are forced to go awwww.)
Sam watched as Danny walked away. Then Danny's ghost sense went off.(Author's note: Now gasp)
Danny- Oh no...
Sam- Danny, it's gotta be Hypness! You have to hide!
Too late. There, in front of him, was Hypness. Her hair was frizzy and split, her normally silky night gown was tattered, and her glare towards Danny was worse than ever.
Hypness- That's it. You have escaped me for the last time!
Danny- Going ghost! turns around to see Sam Sam, hide!
Just then, Danny felt something drawing him closer and closer to Hypness. He told himself to run away, but his feet wouldn't listen. Sam watched.
Sam- Danny what are you doing?! Get away from her!
She glanced at Hypness to see she was singing. Singing. Oh no. She can hypnotize boys by singing. She looked at Danny, who looked lovestruck by her spell. That blew Sam's fuse.
Sam- Boys
She rushed over to him and grabbed his shirt. He tried to pull away, too hypnotized to realize what he was doing.
Sam- Danny, snap out of it!
Hypness couldn't attack Sam because she had to keep singing to keep Danny hypnotized. But then she decided to heck with it. She stopped singing, and Danny snapped out of it.
Danny held his head- Huh? Wha... Oh my gosh. Shoots a ghost ray at Hypness
Hypness- Fine, if that's the way you want it. But if I can't have you, nobody can.
Danny- WHAT?!?!?!
Sam- heh, heh. Well, there's a funny story about that.
Danny- I'm not laughing.
Hypness- Enough talk. shoots something silver at Danny and Sam. It wraps around Danny's wrist, shutting his powers off.
Danny- What the heck?
Sam tried to rip it off, but it didn't.
Sam- It was worth a shot.
Hypness- Now to finish this once and for all.
Danny and Sam couldn't escape; Hypness had them trapped.

Part 19

Danny and Sam couldn't escape; Hypness had them trapped. Danny closed his eyes and braced himself. Sam pressed her face against his chest and hugged him. Hypness glared at the two of them. She clenched her fists, and-
Bam!
Danny and Sam opened their eyes, to see Hypness wasn't there anymore! Danny looked all around until he saw why she was gone. There, floating above them, was Valerie. She blew the top of her smoking gun she had just hit Hypness with.
Danny- Valerie? I-I-I don't understand...
Valerie- Look, I want to beat up some ghosts, and you want to live to see tomorrow, right? Everyone wins.
Danny- But you're still helping me after you found out about-
Valerie- Yeah, but don't get used to it. she smiled and flew down to them Now hold out your hand.
Danny gave her a confused look.
Valerie- Your wrist.
Danny- Oh, right. Heh, heh. holds out his wrist with that silver thing on it
Valerie took out a glowing blade and cut it off.
Danny, who is moving his wrist around- Thanks, Valerie.
He smiled at her gratefully. Then he pushed her!
Valerie- Why you little-gasp
She looked up from the ground where Danny had pushed her to see Hypness again, looking completely insane. She then saw Danny, who had just pushed her out of the way of a ghost ray. The ghost ray had hit him, and he lay there, breathing heavily. He had just saved her life!
Sam- Danny! Are you okay?
Danny shook his head no. He could barely move. That ghost ray from Hypness had knocked the wind out of him.
Sam- Come on, Danny...
She put his arm over her shoulders and helped him up. She walked him to the steps on her stoop and sat him down, leaving Valerie to deal with Hypness.

Part 20

after Danny got his strength back
Danny- Sam, Valerie can't beat her alone, I have to help her!
Sam- Are you sure?
Danny sighed- Sam, don't worry, okay? I'll be back.
He kissed her on the cheek for about the fifth time that day and got up from his seat on the stoop. He glanced at Hypness who clenched her fists. She was about to use the same attack she had used on Danny in the school.
Danny screamed- Valerie, look out!
He shot a ghost ray at Hypness, sending her a few feet back.
Valerie- Thanks Gho- I mean Danny...
Danny smiled- Now, ready to kick some butt?
Valerie nodded and shot a missile at Hypness.
Hypness- Why you...
She shot a ghost ray at Valerie, knocking her out completely.
Danny- Valerie!
His worrying expression turned to anger as he shot yet another ghost ray at Hypness. And another and another. He shot more and more ghost rays at her out of pure anger and frustration. Hypness had put a friend of his in danger for the last time. She dodged the first ghost ray, but soon Danny was so mad and frustrated, that she couldn't dodge them all.
Sam- Alright, Danny!
Danny didn't even hear her. He shot one more ghost ray at Hypness, sending her to the ground.
Hypness- No! It's not possible! You can't beat me!
Danny- I just did.
He was furious with her. He balled up every bit of determination he had, and used his most powerful ghost-power. The ghostly wail. Danny screamed and screamed, hurling Hypness 50 yards down the street into a building. Then he took out the FentonThermos, sucked her into it, and closed the lid. After feeling a sweep of pride run over him, he remembered something.
Danny- Valerie!
He turned around and saw, to his relief, Valerie standing in front of him.
Danny- But, how? I thought she-
Valerie- Aren't I a great actress?
She winked at him. So that was it. Danny understood now. She had pretend to be hurt, to make him mad at Hypness. She had helped him a lot more than he could've imagined.
Danny- Thanks.
Sam- Danny!
She ran up and hugged him. They held on to each other as tight as possible. Valerie didn't care how long they hugged, and she put away her ghost equiptment. When she looked up from her backpack, Danny had changed back.
Valerie joked- Loser love.
Danny- Very funny. So... I guess we're not enemies anymore, huh?
Valerie- I'm gonna miss it.
Danny- There's still Skulker. And Ember, and Spectra, and-
Sam- I think she gets it.
Part 21
the next day, at Sam's house
Ding dong
Sam- I'll get it mom!
She hopped over the stairs railing and ran to the door. When it was opened-
Sam- Oh! Hi Danny!
Danny- Hey, could I… well, I figured… I mean, if you want to…;x
Sam- Are you trying to ask me out?
Danny nodded sheepishly.
Sam- Cuz it's working.
Danny- Great! So, um, I was thinking… are you busy right now?
Sam- No, why? Do you want to go now?
Danny- Yeah.
Sam- Sure!
Danny- Okay, is anyone watching?
Sam- No…
Danny- Good, because I want to fly you somewhere. Close your eyes.
She did as she was told, and Danny, after checking to see nobody saw them, went ghost and flew her out of her house. Sam peeked a little bit. She loved flying. It was amazing. Plus, she wasn't afraid of heights, she enjoyed them. Danny took them to one place nobody could interrupt them, and somewhere really romantic When Sam opened her eyes, she gasped in amazement. They were on top of the Statue of Liberty! Have you ever seen N.Y.C. at night? If you haven't, go see it now!
Sam- Danny, this is… amazing…
Danny- Thanks. It was nothing, really.
Sam kissed him on the cheek and leaned her head on his shoulder. Danny was so happy at that point, he could run down to the city right then and scream about it. He thought about how, finally, for the first time since he got these powers, no ghosts were coming to fight him…

The End
