Chapter 4: Not Alone

As the day went by Danny got to know more about Sam Carey. Her last name was Manson and her parents were filthy rich. She apparently meant Richard at one of her parents' fancy parties.

"So you were sixteen when you met Richard?" He asked as they walked out to go to lunch.

"Yup, best day of my life. I swear, if it wasn't for Richard…I'd probably be dead right now." She said. Danny stared at her.

"What do you mean?" He asked. Sam sighed.

"Well before I met Richard and fell in love with him, I met some other guy when I was fifteen. Man, was he handsome. He was just wonderful. He was my best friend…but one day, he just disappeared. His parents said he died…but I don't know. I never got to tell him that I loved him." She said. Danny frowned and looked at the sky.

"So you never saw him again?" he asked. She chuckled.

"No…but I wish I could see him again…you never really forget your first love. In fact whenever I think of him, my heart still skips two beats. But…I had to move on at some point." She said. Danny glanced at her.

"Did your parents make you?" He asked. They stopped at the corner and waited for the cars to stop so that they could cross.

"Yeah, I had been grieving for two months…I was on the brink of suicide…so when my birthday came up, my parents threw me a party and well….I met Richard there and years later he proposed to me." She replied as they crossed the street. The wind breezed by through the two and Sam folded her arms across her chest.

"If you saw him again…would you go back to him…or stay with Richard?" Danny asked. Sam raised an eyebrow.

"I have no idea. I mean I love the guy with all my heart and soul…but Richard and I are getting married…and well I love Richard." She said. Danny sighed. He felt sorry for Sam. Especially after what happened with her and the guy. But he couldn't help but feel anger. He liked Sam…a lot more than he should have if they were friends. He just can't get over the fact that she and him were meant for each other. Perhaps it was his other half getting obsessive…or maybe it was actually him feeling for another person….

"Well…how about we stop at the Nasty Burger to eat?" He asked. Sam raised an eyebrow.

"I thought you didn't eat meat." She said. He blushed and smiled sheepishly.

"Actually…I do eat meat…I was just nervous about dinner…I haven't had dinner with a neighbor before and well…people don't typically like me." He said. Sam scoffed.

"People don't like you? Dude you are freaking awesome! You have a great personality, a great attitude. If no one likes you…then I guess they are just missing out on a good friendship." She said. He shut his eyes tightly. She had no idea how crazy she was making him. She made him feel special…he hardly knew her and she hardly knew him…yet she already though good of him…that is until she meets Phantom. His mind said. He opened his eyes when he felt her touch his shoulder. "Danny, come on, let's go eat at that Burger place." She said. He smiled.

"Don't worry Mrs. Carey, they have an excellent choice of tofu and veggie burgers." He said making her laugh. He held out his arm and she linked hers with his. They marched across the second street and Sam suddenly started singing the song from the Wizard of Oz, while Danny was laughing.

"Wow Sam, do you always sing that song?" He asked as he held the door open for her. Sam laughed.

"What? Did I embarrass you Danny Fenton?" She asked giggling. Danny chuckled and led her to a table.

"Well then, Dorothy Gale, would you like a tofu burger or a veggie one?" He asked as Sam took a seat. Sam smiled softly.

"I'll gladly take a tofu burger and if you can, please find me my dog Toto." She said giving him a friendly wink. Danny simply chuckled and went to order. Sam watched as he went to stand in line and smiled.

She had to admit that she was enjoying her time with Danny, but she had to remember that she was no longer single and couldn't risk messing with his feelings…or hers for that matter. As she stared at the red table she heard her phone go off.

"Hello?" She said answering the phone.

'Hey Sam, it's me Richard. I was wondering if you wanted to go have lunch somewhere." He asked. Sam chuckled.

"Sorry Richard a tad bit too late, I'm having lunch with Danny. We can go tomorrow." She said. She heard her fiancé sigh into the phone.

"Ok…so what are you making for tonight's dinner?" He asked. Sam shrugged.

"I honestly have no idea. I just found out that he actually eats meat." She said. She heard him chuckle.

"Figures. No one just magically hates meat." He said. Sam smiled.

"Hey Richard…can I tell you something?" She said. She heard him reply with a small grunt. "It's about Daniel…" She said.

"Daniel?" He repeated. She could hear the surprise and jealously in his voice.

"Yeah…Danny asked me…that if he ever came back…if I would choose to stay with you…or go with him." She said. She heard Richard sigh softly.

"So…who would you choose?" He asked. Sam sighed.

'I don't know Richard…Daniel was my first love…but maybe since he left when I needed him most…I'd probably choose you." She said. She glanced back at the counter to see Danny second in line. "Look, honey I've got to go. I'll see you later on tonight." She said.

"Ok, be careful Sam, love you." He said. Sam strained a smile.

"Yeah, love you too…" She said and hung up. She frowned as she thought of her love. She missed Daniel…terribly too much. She could never forget him, or at least tried not to…but because of him disappearing so long ago…she forgot what he looked like. She forgot the sound of his voice, the color of his hair…but yet what she could never forget was…

"Hey Sam…are you ok?" Danny asked looking at her. She opened her eyes and gasped.

"Oh yeah I'm fine…just thinking about stuff." She said. Danny smiled and handed her the food.

"You know Sam…since I met you…I just feel like I'm not alone anymore." Danny said taking a bite out of his burger. Sam smiled weakly.

"Danny, you are never alone. No matter how lonely you think you are…there is always someone there for you." She said taking a small bite out of her food. Danny smiled and felt his sadness and anger slowly melt away.

As they ate and chatted, Sam couldn't help but remember one thing about her love, Daniel, that she could never forget…she could never forget his baby blue eyes….the same colored eyes that seemed vaguely similar to Danny Fenton's.

Tada! Hope this chapter was excellente! I can't wait to hear from you guys! Let me know what you think about Sam's past, and anything else you are curious about...or enjoy!

Thanks!
