Disclaimer: -.- i don't own anything.
Danny slowly opened his eyes and looked around for a minute until he realized he wasn't in his room. Then he realized something was next to him and instantly remembered what happened and where he was. He got up, off the bed trying not to disturb Sam and went to the bathroom, needing a serious potty break. After he finished he washed his hands and as he cut the water off he heard a slight knock at the door. Looking over at Sam, he saw she was still sleep so he went for the door. Danny stopped right in front of the door as what he was about to do fully registered in his head. He'd heard Sams parents arguing about him and it certainly wouldn't help his situation if they discovered him in here. But he was reassured to answer the door when he heard a voice.
"Open up you two." Ida said which caused Danny to relax and do as he was told. Due to the times Danny and Tucker had been over Sam's house they had grown fond of her grandmother.
She calmly wheeled herself in before turning herself to Danny after she saw Sam still hadn't woken up. "You are such a good, trustworthy boy. I know you will take good care of her."
Danny was kind of caught off guard by the sudden remark but responded properly." I will ma'am, I'd never let anyone or anything hurt her…I'd catch a grenade for her." Danny chuckled at his own corny quote of a song that Ida probably didn't even know existed.
"Well I don't want you to go dying on her. You mind yourself as well because if something were to happen to you… let's just say no good can come out of it."
He nodded seriously with a slight smile. "I understand."
"Now, I know you probably know about what's going on between Sam and her parents." He nodded.
" Yes, well I have spoken to them and…persuaded them to let her stay in Casper high and continue to see you and your friend Tucker with a couple of ground rules on their part."
Danny didn't even hear anything after she said Sam could stay and couldn't contain his happiness as he hugged Ida tightly. "Thank you so much!"
"Easy there, I'm about as fragile as glass."She patted him lightly before he let go.
"I came to get her because they wanted to speak with her."
"They're waiting for her? You've been up here a while now, what if they come in while I'm here?"
"Don't worry sweetie, I told them I'd take a minute because I needed to talk to her. They're not coming." Danny smiled as he realized he didn't have to worry. He decided to go wake Sam up so she could hear the news.
He shook her gently. "Saaammmy." She didn't budge.
"Move over dear." Sam's grandmother came over with a bottle of water. "Sometimes you have to do it old school." She poured about half the bottle over Sam who shrieked and jumped up in a hurry causing her to crash into Danny as they both hit the floor.
"Works every time." Ida chuckled. "Now, Sam your parents wish to see you." After Danny, slightly wet and Sam regained their composure Sam spoke.
"I am not going to see them." She tried to fan her shirt in a weak attempt to dry it.
"Sam don't worry. She straightened everything out…to an extent." He gave her a reassuring smile but Sam still looked reluctant.
"Look, I'll go with you." Danny stated.
"Danny you can't! That'll just make things worse if they see you! They don't even know you're here."
Danny just rolled his eyes and changed into his alter ego. "Um, ghost powers ,invisibility, I think you know where I'm going from here." Sam blushed slightly in embarrassment.
"Whatever."
"Come on I'll stand behind you the whole time."
"Why?"
" Don't you think it would be weird for you to be holding an imaginary hand and a butt print clearly visible on the couch if I sit."
"Oh yea…good point." After the second slow moment they headed down stairs noticing that Ida was long gone.
When they reached the living room, Pamela and Jeremy were already sitting on the couch across from them as Sam opted to sit in the recliner chair diagonal to them. She could feel Danny beside her though she couldn't see him.
Jeremy gave his wife a pointed look. "I'll do the talking this time." Pamela frowned in response.
"Samantha-"
"Sam." Sam interrupted. Jeremy gave her a pointed look before he decided to just forget her rudeness and continue.
"- Sam, your mother realized she was in the wrong and wishes to apologize."
Silence.
Jeremy elbowed Pamela slightly.
"Ow…I'm sorry." She grimaced before continuing. " I was in the heat of the moment and said some things that were…slightly insulting." She looked at Sam who had a half bored, half expressionless look on her face. No one could really tell. Sam hadn't uttered a word yet until she felt a nudge in her side from an 'invisible' force.
" *sigh* I'm sorry too…" Sam looked at her mom briefly before looking away. That was the best apology she was going to get out of her because honestly she didn't believe she was in the wrong here and didn't feel sorry towards her mother at all.
"Now that that's…settled We really need to discuss our previous conversation over." Jeremy said in a casual tone.
Sam visually tensed up before Danny laid a reassuring hand on her shoulder. She relaxed a little but still visibly uneasy.
"We've decided that you can stay at your school… and continue to see your friends."
Sam looked up and smiled at them.
"But-"
Smile gone…
"- your curfew is 10:00 p.m. sharp and I don't want you engaging in any ghostly activities with that boy." Sam was about to object until she felt Danny whisper in her ear so lightly she almost thought she was just hearing things.
"Just go with it." She sighed, aggravated and sat back in the chair.
"Fine."
To say that her parents were shocked was an understatement, they were prepared for another argument to break out and for their daughter to refuse they're guidelines. Although not that they're complaining. Since there was no longer anything else to say the room went into an awkward type of silence.
"Well, I'm going to go to the park to get some fresh air." Her tone had an angry tint to it and she was struggling to hold an outburst back. Her parents didn't object and let her leave, unknowingly with the boy they despised most. Once they were a safe distance from the house Danny reappeared beside Sam.
"See that wasn't so bad." Sam just gave him a 'drop it' look as they fell into a slightly weird yet comfortable silence until Danny remembered what he'd told Tucker.
"Hey Sam, we gota go see Tuck."
"Ok, I'll call him and tell him to meet us at the park." Sam reached in her pocket and grabbed her phone. She started to dial his number before they heard a slight rumble.
"What's that?" They said in unison. Both of them stopped to try and pinpoint where the sound was coming from or at least what it was. It sounded like a stampede.
The noise gradually got louder and then they heard screams. Sam and Danny whipped around only to find a swarm of reporters, fan girls, and fan boys coming their way and fast who was a little more than a block away now.
Danny grabbed Sam's hand. "Come on! Run!"
They took off sprinting away but the crowd wasn't letting up. Some were even gaining on them.
"How can they run so fast with all that equipment while they're in freaking suit?" Danny asked frantically making a sharp turn at the corner almost dragging Sam along. One thing for sure was that he was in a lot better shape than he was in freshman year.
"Danny!"
"What? What is it?"
"Why are we running when you can fly?" Danny face palmed himself bringing on a sense of déjà vu before he went ghost in mid sprint hearing cameras flash in the process. He pulled Sam to his chest bridal style before he took to the sky.
After they regained they're baring Sam spoke.
"I'm just going to text Tuck to meet us." Danny nodded while flying at a steady pace that wasn't too fast so Sam could remain comfortable. About a minute later her phone buzzed.
"He said ok he'll be here in 5 min." Danny simply nodded once again before he started lowering themselves to the ground over the park.
"I told him to meet by out tree in the back of the park." Danny changed back into his human form before replying.
"Ok, wanna race there?"
"I'm already half way there!" Sam yelled back a couple yards away.
"Hey!" He called out racing after her.
Danny was steadily gaining on her and just before Sam's finger tips grazed the bark of the tree to claim her victory, Danny grabbed her from behind around the waist and pulling her into him before twirling her once and collapsing on the ground. At the last minute he decided to touch the tree.
"I win cheater!" He smiled as she rolled off of him and laid next to him.
"It's not cheating! I was just to make it a fair race." Danny chuckled before he pecked her lightly on the lips for no specific reason. They both visibly blushed. It had only been about two weeks since they got together and during that time she was hospitalized. On top of that, they were always doing school work she'd missed so this reaction was still fairly normal.
"What was that for?" Danny blushed a little more before he gained a tiny burst of confidence to speak his mind.
"You were just too cute, I couldn't resist. Plus, I've been waiting since I was 14 to be able to kiss you whenever I wanted and I'm going to use it to my full advantage." This caused Sam to blush even harder.
"You're so cheesy." Sam smiled as she looked up at him.
SNAP!
"Ha! You know I could start making so much money from all these pictures."
"TUCKER!" They yelled in unison. They briefly made eye contact before sitting up in the grass.
"Love birds, you guys STILL say everything in unison. It's pretty creepy now." Tucker mumbled sitting next to them.
"Remind me why I haven't mutilated you yet for all these videos and pictures?" Sam asked threateningly.
"Weeeellll-" Tucker started in a sing song voice. "-considering I have so many embarrassing pictures of you and Danny along with my awesome computer skills. I can make any of them look like anything to a point where you wouldn't dare try to harm me."
Danny just shook his head. "One of these days Tuck, you're going to get it. But, out of sheer brotherly sympathy, I advise you to keep your eyes wide open because you never know when this one will strike." He pointed to Sam who smiled evilly.
Tucker gulped. "I hear you dude. Maybe I'll just do something nicer with them and make a photo album or something for you to show your grandchildren!" His expression when from fearful to amused as he observed the two raven haired teens look at each other, blush, and look away.
"Soo…anyway how'd it go? With Sam's parents I mean." He asked but regretted it after he saw their faces.
Sam was the one to speak. "it was…bad….then good…then in between. We had a huge argument and they were going to send me away so I couldn't see you guys anymore." Tucker remained silent as she continued not knowing what else to do.
"But my grandmother fixed everything for the most part. I just have to be home by 10pm and I can't…hunt ghost with you guys anymore." Tucker just looked sadly at her while.
"That's harsh Sam, but you're not alone." Sam and Danny looked up in confusion.
" Yeah, you guys know my parents were pretty understanding about the whole situation. Heck, they even let you stay with us for two weeks Danny. But later on, they told me I wasn't allowed to hunt ghost anymore either." His shoulders slackened as he finished his sentence bitterly as he absently played with the grass refusing to make eye contact. A few minutes passed before Danny broke the silence.
"Guys… I think it's time we took a vacation…a cruise vacation." Tucker and Sam looked at him.
"But, Danny you used all your money on the cruise tickets for us last time that was two weeks ago that we didn't even go to and I don't have enough to pay for us." Tucker stated.
"Me either. I don't know I'll figure out something."
"Uh, excuse me. Filthy rich Goth girl over here." She raised her eyebrows suggestingly.
"Sam we can't make you pay for this!" Danny tried.
"Well I'm going to. It's my fault we missed the last one and all this trouble was caused by me. It would only be fair."
"But-" He was cut off when Sam smashed her lips against his passionately before pulling back to see Danny's eyes clouded over in a dreamy-like-state.
"It'll make me feel better if I pay." Danny simply nodded not really comprehending much.
"Dude, you are so whipped." Tucker laughed. After he stopped he suddenly remembered a key factor.
"How do we get our parents to agree?" Tucker asked. Sam shrugged and shook Danny ruffly until he snapped to reality.
"What..?"
"I said, how do we get our parents to agree?"
"Oh, just leave it to me." Danny stated.
"But, we should at least wait until summer break so we won't miss school." Tucker said
"Sounds like a plan."
"Speaking of school, what went down while I was in the hospital?" Tucker suddenly perked up and looked towards Danny.
Yes Danny. What did happen?" Tucker chuckled lightly to himself. "Do tell."
"Well it's kind of a long story Sam so you should get comfortable…" She scooted closer to him and leaned against his side. "Ready."
He smiled. "So, the first day back…"
So lets just put it this way, the faster you review, the faster I type. :)
