I figured that most of you guys would want to keep reading after that horrible cliff hanger I left you guys last chapter. I'm sorry this one is a little late, in this story the second chapter would seem the hardest because of the transition. I will warn you Danny is OOC from now till around the end of the story. But I hope you guys enjoy it. After you finish reading go to my forum for two new stories ideas that I posted up there!

Disclaimer: I don't own Danny.

AN: Italics are flashbacks/dreams. The first whole section is a dream.

"Wait for it." The two watched as Jazz waked down the stairs of the lab.

"I can be in two places at once." His ghost form slipped out of Jazz and returned into Fenton.

"Man that is so cool!" Tucker high-five Danny.

"And I've already figured out some uses for it."

"Like what?"

"You remember that English test we were supposed to take…?" Tucker's eyes widened.

"That was you?"

"Yup."

"Although I disapprove of what you did, I do admit that it is a cool power." Jazz beamed. Sam watched all three of them. How could they just sit there and congratulate him like that. She didn't think they knew exactly how much power Danny could use. Something in the pit of her stomach told her that something would go totally wrong.

"Sam." She looked up into Danny's blue eyes filled with concern.

"Are you ok?"

"Yeah." Her hand went to go support her head which suddenly gained a headache.

"I think I better head home."

"Really are you sure?"

"Yeah." She continued to the door.

"Do you want me to walk with you?"

'No that would only make it worse.' She thought. "I'll be ok." She walked outside, but it was dark; she pulled out her cell phone which read three pm.

"That's weird." She decided that it would be quicker if she took the ally ways home. A low thunder rumbled in the distance.

"Great." She muttered; one didn't think ahead. Rain came pouring down instants later.

"Sam." She turned around, but no one was there. Ahead there was a green glow. It wasn't phased by the rain at all. She cautiously walked towards it.

"Danny?" Why did he follow her? The figured was bent over and looked similar to Phantom, but something was off; she just couldn't put her finger on it.

"Run."

"What?" Why did he want her to-

"Run for your life" His head lifted up so that she could see his face. His eyes were blood red. That's all that it took; Sam raced as fast as she could navigate in the rain. She slipped, but managed to keep running. She met a well with either a choice to run left or right. In a split second she ran to the right. Suddenly her body stopped, but not by her own will.

"Hello Sammy." She backed away hoping to make a break for it. Her attempts were blocked by another Danny grabbing her arms.

"You're not going anywhere." She hated how that voice could make her shiver.

"What are you doing Danny? Let me go." It almost seemed silly coming from her mouth.

"Now why would I do that? I have you all to myself." His fingers followed her jaw line down to her chin. This was not Danny.

"Whoever is controlling you Danny, you can stop it. Just fight it." His crackle didn't give her much hope.

"Controlled? You silly little girl. No one forced me to be like this. I chose to be like this." Silent tears rolled down her cheeks.

"Little Sammy is crying now?"

"You're not Danny."

"Because I'm not there for you?" He purred in her ear. "And how many times has he broken your heart?"

"He hasn't." She tried to back away, but she still was trapped.

"Liar!" Sam felt a sharp blow to her body. Her eyes stared into his with a look of disbelief as he pulled out the dagger.

Sam shot up out of her tangled sheets.

"It was all a dream." She reassured herself. So why was there still a sharp pain in her stomach? She grabbed the phone and quickly dialed Danny's number not caring that it was 3 in the morning.

"Hello." Came the groggy voice of Danny that made her smile.

"Danny."

"Is everything alright?" Once he had heard her voice, all thoughts of sleep were lost.

"I just had a bad dream." There was an awkward silence.

"Do you want to talk about it?"

"Not really…" She trailed off. Why had she called him if she didn't want to talk about it?

"What was it about?"

"Your powers." She managed to mutter.

"Sam."

"Danny I"-

"You're the only one that doesn't like Shadow Manipulation Sam. Tell me what I should do, not use it?" He felt his voice grow louder.

"It's not that I don't like it."

"Then what?"

"It's that I keep getting this weird feeling that something bad will happen."

"I can't just unlearn it Sam."

"I know." She rubbed her forehead tired of fighting. "Look, let's just talk about it later."

"Bye." She cringed as she heard him slam down the phone. Danny would never hurt her like that, so she didn't have to worry about the dream coming true. She tried to lie down and sleep, but found that she couldn't. They had never gotten into a fight over one of his powers before; maybe how he used them, but that wasn't the case this time. She scolded herself, as a friend, she should be supporting Danny.

'Tomorrow.' She thought. 'We'll talk about it tomorrow.'

"Danny, wake up, you don't want to be late for school." Danny buried his head in the pillow. He didn't say a word to any family members as he sat down to eat breakfast a few minutes later. Why did he have to be born into a family of morning people?

"You're not eating anything?" He heard his mother replied worried. He looked down; he had hardly eaten a thing.

"Danny is something wrong? Did you have a fight with Sam?"-

"Nothing's wrong." He sharply replied.

"I can't help you if I don't know what's wrong."

"I said nothing's wrong." Danny shouted. His parents fell silent.

"I'm going." Jazz shot her parents a sympathic smile as Danny slammed the door.

"I'll go talk to him." She excused herself and followed.

"You had a fight wither didn't you?" She smirked as his eyes flashed.

"None of your business." Danny growled. After growing up with his ghost powers, his threats didn't scare her. She placed her hand on the door blocking his path.

"Move."

"Danny."

"If you don't move your hand, I'll break it."

"Just don't take it out on mom and dad." She shot him a sad look before removing her hand unsure if he had gained anything. He took his chance and sped in the direction of school. Jazz let out a big sigh wondering what caused Danny's strange behavior.

"I heard that he took Sam to the dance last night."

"They started making out on the dance floor." Sam half smiled. Apparently the whole school had been waiting for them to get together. Normally she frowned upon people talking about her, but the more they talked, the more she smiled.

"Danny looks hot today." She frowned suddenly, and yet some girls didn't know when to give up.

"There he is now." Sam looked up expecting to see her Danny, but there was something different about him. Instead of his normal white and red shirt, he had on a black shirt and jeans. She could tell that he didn't even touch his hair; not that it ever looked like he did.

"Danny?" She asked skeptically.

"That's what they call me."

"Are you ok?"

"Never been better. Why?" Sam's eyes narrowed at him as he was distracted by the girls walking by.

"You're acting differently than normal." He let out a laugh that sent chills down her spine.

"That's you're problem Sam, you think too much." His eyes flashed a green as his face grew to what looked like a lustful state. His fingers ran down her jaw line causing the girl to gasp.

"It's a shame that you hide your beauty." He walked away without any explanation leaving Sam speechless.

'What was all that about?' She had never seen him act like that before. He almost seemed like he only cared about her outward appearance rather than her personality or what she stood for. She hated to even think it, but he was acting like Dash.

"Fenton!"

'Speaking of which.' She thought dryly. The towering jock pushed his way through the immense crowd. She watched as her Danny was shoved against the lockers only feeling a slight amount of pain if none at all.

"My girlfriend dumped me this morning. Do you want to know why?" Danny's eyes flashed dangerously.

"Because she's too good for you?" His reward was being slammed again and pushed to the ground.

"Because she said we didn't connect anymore."

"Awe, I'm your source of anger output for your lover's quarrel…" His voice had changed from the sweet Danny to something Sam was used to hearing from Dan.

"Just because you handle your girlfriend…"

"What did you say?"

"So not only can you not keep your girl, you apparently can't hear as well."

"You've got a lot of guts to talk to me like that." He whispered in a low tone through his teeth.

"Well then, let's settle this right here and now." A bigger crowed formed around the two teens.

"Danny, don't do this." Sam pleaded. Nothing good would come out of this. When Danny got like this, he couldn't think straight. He would either expose his power while he beat Dash up or could seriously injure. Her cry fell on death ears as Danny raised his fists.

"No.' Danny was the first to swing connecting with Dan's jaw. Dash shook it off, but Sam could tell that he was surprised that Danny could punch like that. Dash took a turn, but Danny grabbed his arm. Danny took the advantage and swung and hit Dash's nose. A couple people gasped at the blood slowly trickling from the nose. Dash lunged at him, but Danny stepped to the side, allowing Dash to fall to the floor. Dash leaped up with his pride and struck a blow to Danny's stomach. Danny, however; seemed unfazed. He punched Dash's eyes causing him to moan in pain.

"I want you to never bother me again, is that clear?" He did not receiver an answer. He punched the wind out of him. "Is that clear?" Once again, no response. He raised his fist for one final blow. However his fist didn't connect with Dash's face, but Sam as she ran in between them. Everyone grew silent as she fell to the floor, blood dripping from her mouth.

"What happened here?" The students scattered like wild animals no one wanting to take the blame.

"Nothing." Danny said. Tucker rushed to help Sam, who was in a state of shock as she watched Danny walk away leaving Dash and herself on the ground. The teacher could keep Danny without seeing who was involved.

'I can't believe he did that.' Sam's eyes were glued to the figure she thought was her friend, who was currently walking away without looking back.

"Danny." The boy smirked when he heard his name being called.

"You beat up Dash?" She yelled.

"Relax Jazz."

"What if someone made a connection between you and Phantom"-

"Not right now Jazz. I really need to sleep off this headache." Despite her protests, Danny slammed the door and collapsed on his bed.

"Danny." The boy rolled over, but recognized the voice as his mother's.

"Sorry Dan, it is Tucker. He says it's urgent."

"Hello?"

"How could you do that to Sam…and Dash?" He added as an afterthought.

"What happened?"

"This isn't a joke Danny. Sam is at home with a bruised lip! You could have seriously hurt her. She took the punch for Dash, and all you can say is what happened?" Tucker began breathing more heavily listening to the silence on the other side of the line.

"Tuck, I really have no idea what you're talking about." He paused as his eyes widened.

"You don't think it's an effect of my new power?"

"Whatever it is man, you better go check up on Sam, but only if you swear to me that you have no idea what happened this afternoon." Tucker waited for his friend's conformation.

"Danny?" Nothing. It was partly due to the fact that Danny had already flown off as fast as he could.

"Restraining order!"

"Dad, I told you he had nothing to do with it." Which was a big fat lie, but he didn't need to know that. Restraining orders would be flying everywhere. Danny had just lost control…and then walked away. She was sure that her parents would love to hear that.

"Now Sammy, your father and I have to go on a business trip, but if you want us to stay."-

"No, that's fine." She couldn't get it out fast enough.

"Are you sure?"

"Positive." She finished in a heartbeat.

"Remember no friends over." She helped them out of her room. A cold sensation ran along her skin. She didn't speak a word hoping silently that he would go. A part other wanted to ask him about what had happened, but the other part couldn't face him right then.

"Sam." She turned and then their eyes locked. It took under a minute hesitation before the two embraced.

"I'm sorry." He hugged her closer.

"I'm so so sorry." She ran her hands through his hair as she took in his scent. This was her Danny; nice, kind, and sensitive. All her assumptions were dropped from earlier. She didn't want anything to ruin her moments with Danny. He kissed her nose before feeling a cold breath come out of his mouth.

"Danny." He quickly kissed her forehead.

"I'll be back."

"Be careful." He faintly smiled.

"I will." He flew out the window, and Sam's lips curved up into a smile thinking how things could get back to normal.

"Come out you coward." Danny taunted to the air in hopes to lure the ghost out. Why wasn't anything attacking, or threatening the human race, or something. He sat there searching and scanning for the ghost, but none turned up.

"What a waste of my time."

"When is it that we were supposed to attack?"

"We're not." A voice answered for him.

"What'da ya mean boss?"

"Leave him alone." His fangs glistened in his toothy grin.

"But boss"-

"Are you questioning me?" The ghost trembled in fear and respect.

"Of course not Plasmius."

"Good. You see, he may not know it yet. But I've already won." He flew off towards his home leaving his laughter ringing in the wind.

Not much of a cliff hanger...er right? I'll try and post the next chapter ASAP. Review please. I might put up a preview on my profile later.
