I DON'T own Danny Phantom. Butch Hartman does.

Halloween

It was a week before Halloween in Amity Park. Three students sat in the lunch room of Casper High, talking about what they were going to be for the upcoming holiday.

One of the students was a dark skinned techno geek named Tucker. He wore a yellow long sleeve shirt, dark green pants, and brown boots. He had black glasses, accompanied by a red beret.

Another was a pale, goth, girl named Samantha. (Call her Sam, though, if you wanna see the next sunrise.) She wore a black tank top that stopped right above her belly button, with a purple oval on the chest. She had a black a green checkered print knee-length skirt, purple tights, and black combat boots. A portion of her slightly longer than shoulder length black hair was in a pony tail.

The last one was a boy named Daniel or Danny. Danny wore a white t-shirt with a red oval on the chest and red lining around the end of the sleeves and the collar. His blue jeans came down to meet his red and white converse shoes. His jet black hair laid across this forehead into his baby blue eyes. The three teens were discussing their costumes.

"Should we match our costumes this year?" Tucker asked.

"I don't know," Danny shrugged.

"No," Sam said.

After a few more minutes of thinking, Sam got an idea.

"I got it!" she yelled. "We'll pick each others' costumes. Danny can pick mine, I'll pick Tucker's and Tucker can choose Danny's,"

"That sounds like a good idea," Tuck stated.

"Yeah," Danny nodded.

He had a devious smile. He had a few ideas for Sam's costume.

"We have to show each other our costumes by Friday," Sam ordered.

"Yes, Ma'am," Tucker and Danny nodded in unison.

*Friday*

Sam, Danny, and Tucker were sitting in Danny's room. All 3 teens were ready to share their costumes with one another.

"Sam, you first. What is Tucker gonna be?" Danny asked.

Sam stood up from Danny's bed.

"Tucker is going to be a pirate," she stated.

"A pirate?" both males questioned.

"Yeah, eye patch, parrot, no PDA," the girl stressed the last 2 words.

"That hurts, Sam," Tucker noted. "Danny boy here, is going to be a prince," he announced.

"Oh, very cliche, Tucker," Sam rolled her eyes.

"Okay, Danny, what is Sammy gonna be?"

"Ah, yes. Sam. I thought this over for a few days and I decided on her costume. She's going to be a cheerleader," Danny said, with a very Cheshire smile.

"OH NO! I AM NOT going to be a cheerleader!" Sam protested.

"Ah ah ah, but you have to. It was in the rules. Danny got to choose what you were going to be and he chose cheerleader," Tucker told her.

"I hate you, Danny," she scowled at him.

"Love you too, Sammy," he chuckled.

Tucker just laughed.

*Halloween*

Danny was up in his room, putting on his costume. It was a white dress shirt with gold accents, black dress pants, black dress shoes, and a gold crown. He chuckled as he put on the crown. He walked out the door, yelling goodbye to his parents. As soon as he rounded the corner, he went ghost a flew to Tucker's house.

Tucker was dressed in a white shirt, plank pants, black boots, a red blazer, eye patch, and a black pirate hat instead of his red beret.

After he got Tucker, he picked up Sam. They knocked on her door. When she appeared, the boys jaws hit the ground. (Especially Danny's) She was wearing a black tank top that cuts off at the top if her rib cage with purple lining on the neck line bottom and shoulders, black skirt that came down just above her knees with a purple waist band and purple slits on it, and black tennis shoes. She had on her usual make up, and her slightly longer than shoulder length hair pulled into a ponytail, falling over her right shoulder.

"Close your mouths, you might catch bugs," she giggled.

Both boys shut their mouths, as Danny started to blush.

"Uh- hey, Sam. Uh, you look -uh- n-nice," Danny stuttered out.

"Thanks, so do you," she smiled.

They both blushed, because he was still in Phantom form. He took Sam and Tucker's hands and started flying toward their destination: Paulina's Halloween Bash.

*At The Party*

Danny landed him, Sam, and Tucker in front of her house. Danny changed back.

"Ugh, do we HAVE to be here?" Sam complained.

"Yes," Danny answered.

"Why?" she wined.

He chuckled, shaking his head.

"Sam, there's a free buffet in there. I'm NOT missing that," Tucker told her.

"Please, Sam," Danny worked his puppy dog face.

He stuck out his bottom lip and widened and starting batting his baby blues.

"Argh! Fine!" she gave into Danny's stare.

"Thank you, Sammy!" Danny said, pulling her into a hug. He hesitantly pulled back when he realized what he did.

"I'm sorry-" he started.

"It's okay," she nodded.

"Alright, let's get inside!" Tucker cheered as he opened the door.

The room was packed. Everyone from Casper High was there. Literally EVERYONE.

Sam and Danny immediately lost Tucker to the buffet table. Sam just rolled her eyes a Danny chuckled. That left the two of them together for the night.

"So, what should we do?" Danny asked.

"I don't know," Sam shrugged.

Then Paulina walked up to me.

"Hey, you losers made it to my party. Where's the other geek, or did you two lovebirds ditch him?" she asked, viciously.

"First of all, we're not losers. Second of all, Tucker is over at the buffet table," Sam listed, through clenched teeth.

"And were not lovebirds!" they both exclaimed.

"Whatever," Paulina just rolled her eyes and walked away.

"Did she roll her eyes?" Sam asked, ready to walked toward Paulina.

She was about to move when Danny caught her wrist. He turned her around to look him in the eye.

"No, no," he said, looking her in her violet eyes.

"Okay," she looked down, disappointed.

"Not here, and not now," he said.

"Okay," she repeated, pouting.

He lifted her chin to look him in the eyes.

"How about instead of you killing Paulina, I'll sneak up to the DJ table and put on your favorite song?" he bargained, smiling.

"Okay," she grinned.

Danny went invisible and flew up to the DJ table. He put on 'Your Guardian Angel' by Red Jumpsuit Apparatus. He flew back down, becoming visible again. He held his hand out and bowed.

"May I have this dance?" he asked, charmingly.

"Sure, you Cliche," she giggled, taking his hand.

He chuckled as he pulled Sam onto the dance floor. He wrapped his arms around her waist, as hers went around his neck. They started dancing, she leaned her head onto his shoulder. He started quietly singing to lyrics in her ear. The moment was ruined when the song ended, and Paulina started talking.

'Good God' Sam thought.

"Thank you all for coming. Know that everyone's here, we can begin voting for the best costume. Male costume and Female costume. The voting is by the buffet table. Write down your votes and put it in the box. Can't wait to hear who the winners are," she winked, and the music began playing again.

Sam could tell that Paulina was inquiring that she was going to win. Her costume was a soft pink, strapless dress that comes down just far enough to cover her butt. She had a silver wand and crown.

Sam guessed she was a slutty Glinda the Good Witch.

During her speech, every guy was gawking at Paulina. Except for one: Danny. His eyes were on Sam the entire time.

"Ugh, I hate her!" Sam grumbled.

"Yeah," Danny nodded.

"Did you see what she was wearing? It's so degrading for girls to dress like that," she ranted.

"Actually, no I didn't see her. I was- uh- to busy looking at someone else," he blushed. She must haven't noticed because she turned to him.

"Oh, who?" she questioned, jealousy leaking in her voice.

"Oh- uh- no one," he covered, not-so-smoothly.

"Okay?" she said suspiciously.

Danny just shrugged it off. He didn't want to tell her that he ignored the 'hottest girl in school' to stare at her. They played a bazillion popular crap songs. Danny and Sam just stood there and talked through them. They played 'Memory' by Sugarcult. Danny chuckled when he saw Sam's face light up. He dragged Sam back out to the dance floor. Everyone who wasn't dancing (Like half the party) were looking at them. All the forks were laughing at their dancing, and all the boys were staring at Sam in her costume.

They walked back over to their corner when when the song ended. After another 10 songs Paulina got up and announced the winners fir best costumes.

"Okay everyone, the votes are in. The best male costume is Danny Fenton," Danny just awkwardly walked up to the landing on the staircase where she was.

"And the winner for best female costume is... Sam Manson?" she shrieked.

Sam walked up next to Danny.

"Did you rig this?" Sam whispered.

"Nope, but I DID vote for you," he smiled.

Her smile grew even wider.

"Pick your song, losers," Paulina pouted, probably because she lost.

Danny and Sam shared a look. She nodded, telling him to say it.

"'Hero' by Skillet," he announced.

That was their song. They knew why, it just was. The DJ started 'Hero'. He led her down into the dance floor. Danny pulled Regardless of the beat of the song, Danny wrapped his arms around Sam's waist for a slow dance. She wrapped her arms around his neck as soon as she realized what he was doing. When the chorus started, he took her hands and started spinning them in circles. Sam couldn't help but giggle at her best friend/ crush's dancing. At the last word, he dipped Sam, and they locked eyes. They were smiling at each other and Sam was biting her lip. He leaned down to kiss her, but they were taken by surprise when the next song came on.

Startled, Sam fell out if his arms and hit the floor with a 'thud'. Danny took her hands and lifted her back onto her feet.

"Thanks," she smiled.

"Welcome, and sorry," he blushed.

"It's okay,"

They walked back over to the side, not realizing they were still holding hands. Tucker walked up to them.

"Well, I'd ask how you two are, but I can see you're doing good," Tucker said coming up behind them.

"Hey, Tuck, what do you me-" then Danny realized he was still holding Sam's hand. "Oh, Tuck, we're not-"

"Whatever you say," Tucker cut him off.

"Tucker," Sam growled.

"Okay, okay, I'll stop," he gave in.

"Good,"

"So I saw you two dancing to 'Hero',"

Tucker winked.

"Yeah, so?" Sam asked.

"You guys were slow dancing," he wiggled his eye brows.

"And again, so?" Danny piped up.

"Nothing, nothing," he grinned.

"Whatever, you weirdo," Sam said.

After a few minutes of the trio talking, Sam left to go to the bathroom.

"You were gonna kiss her, weren't you?" Tucker asked, as soon as Sam left.

"Uh- um- well-" he was cut off.

"Dude," Tuck started at him.

"Okay, so yeah, I was. So what?"

"So what? So what? Dude, kiss her! Everyone's been waiting for you two to get together! Do it!"

"But what if she doesn't like me?"

"She does, trust me and everyone in Amity,"

"Okay, if you say so,"

Sam returned a minute later.

"Hey, guys, what'd I miss," she questioned.

Tucker nudged Danny, giving him the 'do-it-now-you-chicken look'.

"Nothing, can I talk to you for a second? In private?" Danny asked her.

"Sure," she replied, giving him a weird look.

He took her over to a corner where no one was. They stood there for a minute.

"What did you want to-"

Danny cut her off by kissing her. He had one hand around her waist, with the other cupping her face. After a moment, Sam caught on to what was happening. She wrapped her arms around his neck a kissed him back. After a couple more seconds they pulled back.

"That's what I wanted to talk to you about," he admitted.

They were both blushing.

Instead of responding, she just kissed him again.

Little did they know that the whole party was watching them and Tucker was recording them. The lovebirds were too oblivious to care.

Fin.

Probably sucked, but this is the best I can come up with. Hope it's good enough :)
