For Valentine's Day, I got to go around my school and sing Valentine Telegrams... It was fun.

Two: Valentine Special

"Sammykins! Rise and shine! I have a wonderful pink dress, nice and new for Valentine's Day!"

Sam groaned, throwing her pillow over her head. Valentine's Day. The frilliest (A/N: Is that even a word?), pinkest day, any goths' doom. Especially if they had parents like hers.

"Come now, Sammy, wake up! I'm sure you have so many Valentines waiting for you at school, you wouldn't want to leave them hanging!"

"Yeah, I would."

"What was that, Darling?"

"Nothing. I have to get dressed," Sam replied, planning her outfit in her head. It definitely wasn't going to be the dress her mother had picked out; she had snuck a look at it the other day, and it was hideous-not even Paulina would have worn it.

"Alright then, your dress is on the end of your bed. Hurry up, we have a special breakfast ready for you."

Sam listened as her mother walked out of her room, the door closing with a soft click. Finally, she took the pillow off her head, glancing at the abomination of a dress that was tainting her bed.

It was indeed pink, but calling it pink would be an insult to all things pink. It had a huge red heart shape on the front and a pattern of small red and white hearts on the skirt. A huge, lacy bow adorned the waist of it, a matching headband sitting next to it.

Shuddering, she threw her blankets over the outfit-she was going to have to burn them later-and stumbled over to her closet.

A black top, pants and a green scrunchie in her hair later and Sam was ready to leave. But her father was having none of that.

"Samantha, dear, please eat your pancakes! We made them special for you. Then you can go upstairs and change into that wonderful dress your mother bought you yesterday."

"Oh, uh, look at the time. I better run, don't wanna be late on Valentine's Day." She pushed the plate of strawberry, heart-shaped pancakes away, standing and grabbing her spider backpack. "See you." Sam quickly left, ignoring the protests of her parents.

As she walked out the door, she was met by Tucker.

"Where's Danny?"

Her friend gave her a knowing smile. "You know him, probably off throwing boxes around with the Box Ghost."

"Uh huh."

"Yeah. So what did your mom try to make you wear this time?"

"You don't want to know."

Danny flew through the air, searching for the right place.

There. It's perfect.

Sam sat down at her and her friends' claimed desks. She glanced worriedly at Danny's normal seat. It was third hour and he was still MIA. He hadn't needed this long to chase off a ghost since the first year he had had his powers. One thing was for sure: this was no Box Ghost.

"Tucker!" She hissed. He hadn't seemed worried at all today, and it was really getting on her nerves.

"What?"

"Have you heard anything from him?"

Tucker sighed. "No, Sam, I'm sure he is perfectly fine. If something huge were going on we would know. Ghosts aren't exactly subtle."

He was late. He was majorly late. Danny's little trip had taken him further from Amity Park than he had liked, but it was worth it. Today was going to be absolutely amazing. He stopped at his locker before heading off to third hour, resigned to another detention.

"Where the heck were you, Danny? We were worried sick! I thought something had happened to you, the Guys in White or Skulker, or-"

"Sam, look. I'm fine, nothing I couldn't handle. Alright?"

She stood at her locker, expertly twirling the dial on the lock.

"Where were you? I-"

Sam froze. Her eyes widened as she stared at the interior of her locker, not even noticing Tucker slip away.

A bouquet of black and white roses sat in her locker, the white forming a barely distinguishable Danny Phantom insignia.

"Danny..." She turned to him, catching a nervous grin on his face.

"I, uh, was wondering... Well, Sam, I wanted to ask... Would you be my Valentine?"

What do you think she said? Hehe, I wonder... So what did you think? This was my first fluffy sappy story, but I think I did pretty good. And there weren't any cat-turned-car words in this one (I fixed that in Phantom Kitty, by the way). Reviews appreciated!
