This is a one-shot based on prompt from sapphireswimming's Apricity. Look that story up for more information.
I got a shoutout. I feel so special. *cuddles up in a soft blanket because I might as well live in frickin Antarctica for the love of God!* :)
This one ISN'T ANGSTY!

"Did my heart love till now? forswear it, sight! For I ne'er saw true beauty till this night."
-William Shakespeare Romeo and Juliet
clink!
clink!
clink!
Sam stirred, but did not wake.
clink!
"Stop it..." she mumbled, throwing her blankets over her head.
clink!
"UGH!" Sam groaned as she rose from her dark purple bed, her normally straight hair frizzled. Her eyes were red around the edges and they were bloodshot. Sleeping had taken it's toll on her. A look to kill adorned her face as she walked to the window on the other side of the room. The one that faced he road. Anyone could be out there, but right now, Sam had no reason to fear anything. She actually didn't care if it was someone to take her away.
clink!
A small stone hit the window right before she opened it. Sam unlocked the window and slammed away from the windowsill. Her kitten that she had just gotten today purred and rubbed up against her legs.
"Mel, please. Stay back, alright? I don't need you falling out of here," she gingerly picked up the cat and set her on the bed, where the cat curled up in a ball and began to purr once more.
Sam stuck her head out the window, a yell in her throat, but she hitched it when she saw her visitor.
"'Tell me, daughter Juliet, How stands your dispositions to be married?'," Sam almost burst into laughter. It was ten 'o clock at night and Danny Phantom was standing outside her house quoting Shakespeare. The wrong quotes, albeit, but close enough. One of his hands was in the air, the other over his heart. He spoke in a falsetto voice that did not belong to him.
Going on with it, Sam responded, making her voice as dramatic as she could. "Well, even though you just asked me to marry you, 'It is an honor that I dream not of',"
"Oh okay- Wait what?" Danny choked. "I asked you to marry me?" Sam laughed and found herself nodding.
"Well, how about this?" Danny cleared his throat and spoke in a much deeper voice than normal. He held an imaginary skull in his hand. "'To be or not to be, that is the question!'" he looked up at Sam, awaiting approval and he got a snicker in response.
"Totally different play, Hamlet."
"Umm, I'm running out of options here...'Did my heart love till now? forswear it, sight! For I ne'er saw true beauty till this night.'."
"I like that one," Sam admitted, and she cleared her own throat. Danny was bowing.
"Thank you, thank you. Oh I adore roses, thank you!" he muttered, throwing kisses to non-existent fans.
"'O Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo? Deny thy father refuse thy name, thou art thyself thou not a montague!'," Sam quoted, Romeo and Juliet being one of her favorite works by Shakespeare.
"Okay, last one! This is all I got!" Danny warned, and Sam raised her eyebrows, laying her head in her hands. Her elbows rested on the windowsill.
Danny cleared his throat one last time and spoke. "Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your hair?"
Sam couldn't hold it in anymore. She laughed so hard, Clockwork could probably hear her in the Ghost Zone. "'Not today, dear Prince, today I do not dare.'," she got out over her giggles. Danny grinned, his job done.
"Does that mean I can come up there, dear Juliet?" Danny asked. Sam nodded, her sides beginning to hurt. Danny sat on her windowsill. He let Sam calm down then brought her closer.
"Hey Sam?"
"Hmm?"
"Does this mean I can still marry you?"
Sam's laughter could be heard all throughout Amity Park.
