I do not own 'Danny Phantom'
This story was adopted by me from 'Kixen' who was challenged by 'Ultrablud2'. This chapter I left mostly the same minus the Italics. It's confusing trying to guess their thoughts.
Chapter 2
Fenton works 1 hour later
"Ok Mr. and Mrs. Fenton are playing a game of checkers so we won't have to worry about them snooping around. Since it was Dora who took him we know where Danny is." Tucker said explaining the situation.
"It is a good thing she is Danny's ally otherwise who knows what trouble Danny would be in. Ok Tucker, on my mark get set…" Sam never got the chance to finish her sentence as Danny came out of the ghost portal just before she could finish it.
"Danny we were just about to go and bring you back here. Thank goodness you are alright." Sam said while hugging her best friend.
"What happened to you, and why did Dora take you to the ghost zone?" Tucker asked equally concerned.
"Let's go upstairs to my room and I can explain it to you." Danny said as he grabbed Sam and Tucker, and flew through the ceiling up into his room.
Danny Room 2 minutes later
"So spill Danny why did Dora take you to her realm after she saved you?" Tucker asked wanting to know the details.
"Dora brought me to her realm to ask for my help once again." Danny started. "It seems that thanks to her father's laws Prince Aragon can take over the kingdom once again." Danny explained causing Sam to get extremely pissed off.
"That sexist self-absorbed jerk can come back to power just because of their father's backwards thinking? What is wrong with the men in that realm?" Sam asked getting more pissed the longer she thought about it. "Danny if you can help Dora keep her kingdom from going backwards you have my support. That realm needs a good ruler, and Prince Aragon isn't what that realm needs!" Sam said encouraging her best friend.
As Sam went on about how men and women were equals, Tucker examined Danny over and noticed a golden amulet with a green eye around Danny's neck and gasped.
"Danny take that thing off now. You have the dragon Amulet around your neck. If you get pissed off you will end up turning into a fire-breathing Dragon!" Tucker explained getting Sam's attention as well.
"Danny, why are you wearing the dragon Amulet for? You remember what that thing did to me and Paulina when we wore it and most our tempers." Sam said making a grab for the Amulet on for Danny to go intangible.
"Sorry Sam no can do. Besides I am not done explaining everything yet. Both of you might want to sit down for this one since when I first heard about it I was taken by surprise as well." Danny stated while Sam and Tucker got comfortable. "The reason why I am wearing this amulet is simple. I am going to have to get married to Dora, and this is part of the ceremony." Danny explained causing both Sam and Tucker to look at him funny.
"Dude if this is an April fool's prank you are not only late, but not funny either." Tucker said with annoyance.
"It isn't a joke. In order for Dora to be able to keep her kingdom the laws need to be rewritten by a man. But not just any man. The man has to be able to beat the strongest male in that dark age realm which was formerly prince Aragon. Since It was shown that I beat him, I am the only one who can take her hand so the laws can be written. Once the laws of the realm are changed, we can go our separate ways, and Dora can rule her realm. So what do you think?" Danny asked curious.
The moment Sam found out that Danny was serious about the temporary marriage proposal to Dora he attitude took a 180 turn.
"Are you nuts Danny? I mean I am all for equality and all, but faking a marriage to get it? Why can't Dora actually find someone she truly loves, who at the same time can best her brother?" Sam asked not liking the idea one bit.
"From what Dora told me there are only three people who ever bested her brother. Me, herself, and her father. Plus last I checked the prince is without his power source so that is out. Lastly the only person I remember Dora showing any interest in would be Tucker which went away the next time she saw him." Danny explained causing Sam frown.
"As much as I hate to say it Sam is right on this one Danny. While I know it is for a good cause, you should find someone else who fit's the bill." Tucker said agreeing with Sam. "But for the sake of helping Dora how long do you have before Aragon get's the throne back?" Tucker asked letting his curiosity get the better of him.
"Dora told me 5 weeks. If it doesn't happen before then Aragon will be free to rule, and with him back in power I have a feeling he will cause a lot of trouble here." Danny explained remember his last fight with the male dragon.
"Danny have you ever heard the saying you can't save everyone? Well as much as I hate to admit it I don't think you can help Dora." Sam said in somewhat down tone.
"Sam what are you talking about? All I have to do is to a temp marriage with Dora until she can change the law. I know how you feel about marriage, but at the same time weren't you the one who always stood up for equality between the genders, and believe that women are just as capable as men?" Danny asked remembering all of Sam's rants and speeches.
"I did say that Danny, But…"
"But nothing Sam, I am the good guy, and if I were to ignore a cry for help from an ally what kind of hero would I be Sam?" Danny explained cutting off Sam.
Oh great this is going to end very badly at the rate they are going. Sam might kill me for this later, but if I don't do this the worst could happen. Tucker thought to himself.
"Danny I think Sam has something important to tell you that 'can't wait' any longer, and if she doesn't say anything it might be something she would 'regret'." Tucker said stressing the words can't wait and regret.
"Shut it Tucker, I have nothing important to say that can't wait any longer! If you want to go through with this crazy idea then by all means go through with it!" Sam hissed drawing a question mark with Danny, and a face palm with Tucker.
Sam why do you keep doing this to yourself? What is it going to take for you to admit your feelings to Danny since it is obvious that he is oblivious to yours? Tucker asked himself sighing at the situation.
"Sometimes I don't get you Sam. One minute you are telling me that I need to help Dora out by doing whatever I can, but are against it the moment I mention it would require a temporary marriage to help her." Danny said striking a nerve with Sam.
"I swear you are so clueless that it should be considered a crime! Even Paulina and Dash get it and they are the dimmest people I know!" Sam hissed now striking a nerve with Danny.
"You know Sam I don't know what it is, and to be frank I don't care if you want tell me. I am going to do the right thing, and help out an ally and unless you have a good reason for me to do otherwise I am going to see this through!" Danny said upset causing Tucker off all people to finally say something.
"I have had it up to here with this! Sam since you won't say anything even though I told you several times I will! Dude Sam is acting like this because she has feelings for you beyond that of a friend!" Tucker said causing Sam to glare daggers at him, and throw Danny for a loop.
"Tucker I am so going to kill you for saying that!" Sam hissed causing the formerly speechless Danny to now speak up.
"Sam is this really true? Is it true that you have feeling for me beyond that of a friend?" Danny asked still confused.
Sam went into a thinking pose for a moment, causing both Tucker and Danny to have different thoughts. On Tucker's end he was thinking that Sam would finally do what she should have done months ago and finally he would become the happy 3rd wheel. On Danny's end he was wondering what Sam actually was going to tell him and how he would respond. The wait didn't last long as Sam after dealing with everything finally decided to answer.
"Yes it is true Danny. I have had feelings for you for some time now." Sam finally confessed causing Tucker to smile and Danny to speak up.
"When you say a while how long has this while been?" Danny asked curiously.
"Since we started high school Danny. I don't know how or why it happened but it did." Sam continued causing Danny mind to filling many of the blanks of the past.
"Wow now that I know this a lot of your past actions especially around other girls make a lot of sense now. You know if I wasn't a C student who overlooked the obvious I would have seen it coming from before." Danny said causing Sam to smile.
Yes he finally understands. I am not letting this chance go to waste. Time to seal the deal. Sam thought to herself before speaking.
"So Danny now that you know how I feel will you be my boyfriend?" Sam asked hoping for her dreams to come true.
"Sam I am flattered that you want me to be your boyfriend, however I can't do that." Danny said shocking both Sam and Tucker. However, before Sam could go off like grenade Tucker spoke up before her.
"Dude Sam just told you how she felt about you. I know you like her, and she likes you back so why are you rejecting her?" Tucker asked causing Danny to speak up.
"The reason is simple Tucker. While you are right about me liking Sam, I don't like, like her at least not anymore." Danny explained causing Sam's anger to be replaced by a growing sadness. However she kept herself together and continued to speak.
"When was it that you started to like, like me Danny, and when did you stop feeling this way about me?" Sam asked doing her best to keep herself together.
"It was little bit after the second Desiree incident that I started feeling something for you. However it was a little bit after our 4th dealing with Technus that I really started to like you like you." Danny explained. "I didn't say anything to you at the time because I didn't know how you felt about me." Danny explained being completely honest.
"What happened that made you stop liking me like that?" Sam asked still trying to keep everything together.
"To be honest with you Sam, when I started to like, like you but had no clue on about how you truly felt about me at one point was going to actually take the risk and do it. However, before I could do it at first I was approached by that blond senior who graduated last year who in turn asked me out for a date." Danny started causing Sam's mood to go sour.
"Yeah I remember her, that floozy Tara who made even Paulina look plain in comparison. But what does she have with you not liking me like that anymore?" Sam asked getting impatient.
"Your jealousy towards Tara was the cause that made that happen Sam. I was originally going to turn her down even though I knew I could have gotten a date with her easily since she was honest about how she felt to me." Danny explained shocking Tucker and Sam completely.
"Dude you were seriously going to turn down Tara for Sam?" Tucker said voicing his shock.
"If this was a year back I would have went out with her without a second thought since I had no clue about how I felt about Sam back then. However, since I wanted to confess how I felt to Sam at the time it was a very easy decision to come up with. Now where was I? Ah yes however, before I could do that you let your jealously get the better of you which Tara saw at the time scared her away. It left me wondering what would happen is any other female that was pretty or popular came up to me and spoke to me like Tara did if we started dating. It also left me wondering what would happen if one of my female fans kissed me in hero mode and you saw it while we were dating." Danny explained.
"Danny since you know the truth now you must know that my jealous side only comes out when you overlook me for someone else." Sam tried to explain hoping she could sway Danny.
"It also came out whenever anyone would kiss me while I was in hero mode. Believe it or not Sam while I can tell females not to hit or kiss on Danny Fenton and most of the time they will respect that. Danny Phantom is another story Sam. We both know that most of those girls or even grown women who kissed me with the exception of Paulina kissed me as a thank you for saving their lives. Yet each any every time when it happened and you witnessed it I noticed your face become similar to the way you looked when I spoke with Tara. How could I be with someone who I feel won't trust me in these situations? It leaves me to believe that we seriously wouldn't work out due to this issue as we would be arguing over woman either trying to hit on me or give me thank you for saving their lives." Danny explained being as honest as he could.
He feels that he couldn't trust me in situations like that if we were dating? Sam thought to herself just as the tears of sorrow began to come out of her eyes.
Within seconds the waterworks that Sam would normally keep shut tight came out full storm. Danny watched as Sam's black mascara began to run due to her tears just before she put her hands over her face. Danny seeing Sam crying her eyes out did the one thing he could think of which was attempt to hug Sam only for her to reject his gesture.
"Don't touch me Danny! I hate you so much right now!" Sam said with her face looking a mess from her running mascara. "In fact Danny I don't ever want to see you again! Go marry Dora for all I care!" Sam said in a hurt tone as she ran out of Danny's room with her hands covering her face.
Danny attempted to chase after her only for Tucker to stop him at the last-minute.
"No dude Sam is upset right now, and since you are the cause of her pain I doubt you will be able to ease her pain. I think it would be best to let her cool down a bit before talking to her again." Tucker explained causing Danny to frown.
"Do me a favor and keep me updated on Sam Tuck. Even if you revealed her biggest secret she should hate you less than she does me now." Danny said just before a Pregnant pause. "Oh and Tucker thank you for giving me a clue." Danny said just before the Amulet Danny wore began to glow.
Within seconds the eye of the amulet Danny wore began to open and a light came out of it that projected against the wall. Seconds later an image of Dora came out of the amulet. Danny and Tucker both instantly blushed at the image they saw. Dora at the moment wasn't wearing her normal middle ages dress or even her human attire. She was wearing a sleeveless Lavender nightgown that fit her frame like a glove and showed off all her womanly curves in all the right places. Dora who was aware of this smiled since she know knew that she still could be appealing. However, this disappeared after short period when she remembered the real reason why she called.
"Danny I hope I didn't call you at a bad time, but I need to talk with you about something important that." Dora said in a desperate tone.
"Ok Dora, shoot tell me what is it that is so important." Danny said only for Dora to shake her head.
"I am sorry but I need to speak with you in person about this. Speaking through our amulet's like this won't do for this." Dora explained in the same desperate tone.
Upon hearing this Danny began to glow green, and within seconds an exact clone of him appeared right next to him surprising both Tucker and Dora.
"When did you master cloning yourself Danny?" Tucker asked in a curious tone.
"A little while after fighting Vortex for the first time. As for why I made this clone I need you to ask as me until I get back. I can't have my parents wondering where I am and getting suspicious." Danny explained just before the amulet around his neck began to glow and within seconds the original Danny disappeared in a puff of black smoke.
