From the ground, Sam stared up at the flying couple with a look of pure disgust and rage. Why is Danny flying with her
In the air, Danny remained oblivios to Sam's presence, unlike Paulina. The Latina noticed Sam and took full advantage of the moment. Her plan was growing into an evil, lowly plan. Paulina leaned in closer to Danny, making sure that Sam noticed.
Back on the ground, Sam stormed off. How could he do this to me? He's cheating on me. And with that snobby jerk!
Back in the air Danny pushed Paulina away from him.
"What are you doing?" He asked crossly.
"Oh, nothing. I think I'm just getting a little dizzy from the altitude." She lied.
Danny quickly landed back on the ground. The blue-white rings appeared and turned him back to his human self. He was glad-no, more than glad- for the flight to be over.
Paulina was slightly dazed, but then remembered the deal. She took out a wad of cash and handed it to Danny.
"Thanks." He said, not really meaning it.
Both teens walked off.
The next day, Friday, Sam and Danny's one month anniversary, Danny walked into school carrying a small black package with a purple bow lying perfectly on the top.
Danny walked up to Tucker and opened it to show him the amethyst amulet.
"Sam's gonna love that!" Tucker exclaimed.
"That's what I'm going for." Danny stated proudly.
Danny quickly slipped the package behind his back as he saw Sam approaching.
"Hey, Sam! I…" he started, but was interrupted by an angry Sam.
"Go away!" she barked at Danny.
"What's wrong?" He asked concerned.
"You should know perfectly well what's wrong!" She blared.
Anger filed her lilac eyes and tore at Danny. He had never seen her like this. Yeah, he'd seen her get mad before, and occasionally at himself, but never this furious.
"I don't know what's wrong." He stated confused.
"Hmmm…How about cheating on me? I saw you with Paulina. How could you ditch me for her?!" Sam's voice grew louder and more angry with each sentence.
"I wasn't cheating on you. I…" He was once again cut-off.
"I don't want to hear it Danny. Just leave me alone. You've caused enough damage already." Sam groaned.
Sam stormed off, leaving a shocked and miserable Danny behind.
"What did you do?" Tucker asked confused.
"Paulina overheard us and told me that she could give me the money if I took her flying quickly." Danny explained.
"And you did?!" Tucker asked surprised.
"I didn't have any money and no way to get any fast, so it was my only option."
"I can't believe that you actually trusted her."
"I didn't, but…It was the only way I could think of at the time and…I didn't think Sam would see." Danny admitted shamefully.
"Well, it's gonna be hard to fix this one." Tucker stated.
"I know." Danny disgracefully agreed.
Danny looked at the present still in his hands and slipped it into his backpack. He ran to catch up with Sam.
"Sam, please let me explain." Danny pleaded.
"Explain what? How you broke my heart?! I don't want to hear your pathetic excuses anymore, Danny." She angrily told him.
Danny was left in the dust as she stomped off. He sighed, but the air was replaced by a wispy blue smoke.
"I definitely I don't want to do this right now." He stated.
Danny reluctantly transformed into Danny Phantom and flew off to search for the menacing ghost who had made such a timely appearance.
"Hello, ghost child." Skulker greeted menacingly as he appeared behind Danny.
"Not you again." Danny whined.
"What? You didn't miss me?" Skulker commented sarcastically.
"Whatever." Danny said uncaringly.
Danny fired an ghost ray at Skulker, who dodged it almost gracefully. Skulker responded to this attack by firing a missile, which, unlike Danny's attack, hit the target dead-on. Danny screamed in pain and unintentionally dropped a few feet. Danny quickly recovered and blasted an ice-beam at his ghostly armored foe. It hit Skulker, but bounced off his suit.
"Trust me, ghost child, I did not come unprepared." Skulker stated forebodingly.
"Doesn't matter. Either way, I'm still gonna kick you butt back into the Ghost Zone." Danny told him strongly.
Suddenly, a blast of green energy came hurling at the hunter and hit him square in the chest, knocking him backward. Danny gazed down to see Tucker holding the Plasma Peach ecto-lipstick. Danny had given it to him in case Tucker got into any trouble. Skulker retreated, but shouted "I'll be back!" as he left.
"Thanks!" Danny thanked his friend.
"Your welcome." Tucker replied.
Danny landed on the ground and changed back.
"By the way, I talked to Sam, or tried to. I convinced her to let you fully explain. She says that she'll meet you at the Skulk and Lurk, something about not causing a huge scene." Tucker informed.
"Thanks so much Tuck! I owe you one." Danny told Tucker gratefully as he ran off.
Danny walked through the door and bumped into the last person he wanted to see right now, Paulina. He glared at her angrily, his heavenly blue eyes flashing to a menacing glowing green.
"Hi Danny." She said sweetly, like nothing had happened.
"This is all your fault! You planned this." Danny screamed at her angrily.
"What?" The Latina girl asked confused.
"You're the reason Sam broke up with me. You were jealous, so you tried to ruin our relationship!" He claimed. The fury and hatred was consuming him.
He shot her one last furious glare as he stormed off down the halls. He felt like he was about to lose control of his powers and seriously hurt her by accident.
Later, Danny sat in class, staring at the clock, waiting for the bell to ring. It was going so slow that it seemed like it was going backwards. Danny wasn't paying the slightest bit of attention to Lancer's lesson, which is why he panicked when he heard a voice.
"Mr. Fenton…Mr. Fenton…DANIEL!" Mr. Lancer shouted.
Danny quickly snapped out of his current trance.
"Were you paying any attention to the lesson?" the teacher asked irritably.
"Uhhh…" Danny was cut off by the bell, thankfully.
Danny rushed out of the room, trying to make it out of the school and to the Skulk and Lurk as fast as possible. He was racing down the street when a blue mist escaped his mouth.
"Not again." He complained.
Skulker floated down towards the teen. In a few moments, a pair of blue-white rings formed around the teens waist. They separated, one moving up, one down. They quickly changed the lanky Danny Fenton into the strong and heroic Danny Phantom.
"This time, I'll finish the job." His enemy claimed.
