As Danny walked in the cold outdoors, Danny was confused and saddened. Who is this Sam? It can't be the same Sam that was friends with him and Tucker, can it? The truth is, no. So he's lucky. But now, Danny has to try to reconnect with the real Luna before he does something stupid.
"Easy does it, Daniel. You can do this." Danny mumbled under his breath.
"Danny, is there something bugging you?" Luna asks. "You haven't seem this stressed since Jack Spicer's death in the hands of Lynn."
"Trust me, I've been through worse." Danny then said. He was about to speak up and ask about Sam...until he sees the other Lunas trying to fit in the van, but since there's too many Lunas, it didn't work. "They all want to go, don't they?"
"They sure do." Luna then said.
"Uh, you guys meet me at AMC, I gotta go talk to Sora and Jake." Danny then said, running off, nervously.
After a few minutes, Danny then stopped in his tracks and sat down on the ground. He can't come off as selfish to those Lunas, otherwise, he'd look like a heartless bastard!
Danny started to notice his surroundings, it was the same playground where they'd play with each other every Saturday after Elementary School was done until the weekend's over.
"Higher, Danny, Higher!" Young Luna's voice was heard. Danny noticed a vision of a younger him playing with a younger Luna.
"I'm trying as hard as I can!" Young Danny said in the vision, laughing.
Danny could only hang on to those memories as nostalgia. Face it, he might as well have the cat hang on to his tongue for good about Luna.
Danny then took something in his jacket pocket, a heart-shaped locket containing a picture of Luna.
"Oh, Luna..." Danny muttered. "Why must I be tortured by my love for you. Why must I fall in love with those who became lords at what they do for a lifetime. For god's sake, Diana's an amazonian goddess, and Bruce Wayne's a mortal brave man who strikes fear into the night, and they have a relationship with each other! Why mustn't I, Danny Phantom, muster the strength to be in a relationship with a rock goddess such as Luna Loud?"
"Danny?" A familiar voice was heard. Danny stopped and saw the same Sam that turned Luna down.
"Are you this Samantha I heard about from Leni?" Danny asks.
"Yes." Sam replied.
"Good." Danny sighed in relief. "I thought you were the same Sam I knew."
"What, that Manson brat? Pff. Yeah, right." Sam said, scoffing.
"Look, I need to tell you something." Danny said. "I'm wildly in love with Luna, and I don't want to come off as selfish, since you probably dumped her. But I want to ask her out on a date."
"Well, she could really use some support right now." Sam sighs.
Flashback:
Luna was with Sam at the school, just the 2 of them, alone.
"Luna, we need to talk..."
"What about, dudette?"
"I got your letter."
Luna's eyes widen in surprise.
"You did?!
"I'm flattered but...I'm not into girls. Sorry."
Luna felt her stomach drop as she said, "I'm sorry, but can we still be friends?"
Sam nodded as she walked away. Unbeknownst to her, Luna tearfully ripped the letter to shreds. Luna then felt tears run down her cheeks and slowly walked away from Sam.
Flashback over.
Danny was concerned. He then said, "What happened after that?"
"The No Such Luck incident." Sam sighed. Danny cringed at the thought of the Real Lynn being replaced by a clone after Evil Morty got her killed. "I was a little irritated that Luna let superstitions cloud her mind, but I couldn't stay mad at her. But she seems to be in distress right now."
"Well, what do I do?" Danny asks.
"Go to her. She needs you now than ever." Sam said. "That's all I have to give to you for now."
Sam's right, Luna needs the comfort of the Ghost child now than ever. Danny knows what he must do.
