Sleepover Nightmare---Epilogue

The next day, after school, Danny, Sam and Tucker were down in the Fenton's basement lab, standing in front of the Ghost Portal. Danny, who was about to open the portal, was holding Matilda's Sleeping Beauty book. He hadn't left yet because he was still talking over the events from the day before with Sam.

"Well, it looks like neither one of us will have the opportunity to be the 'Prince' or 'Princess' in the play," Sam informed Danny with a relieved smile.

"What do you mean?" he asked, shifting the book a bit.

"Well, Lancer was so exasperated about all the bad karma surrounding the play—including that it turned out that Paulina was allergic to the 'Prince's' costume-- he bit the bullet and cancelled the entire production! Boy, am I ever glad! If I had to feed just one more line to Paulina…."

Danny chuckled and softly added, "Well, I'm glad that it almost happened. I wouldn't have figured out, you know…"

Sam smiled as they both blushed. They hadn't even noticed that Tucker was close by.

Tucker, however, wasn't paying attention to his friends either. He was still busily working on Sam's phone, when suddenly he jumped in delight when he finally figured out what was wrong with it. He uttered to himself, "Duh! I can't believe I didn't think of this in the first place! All that was wrong with it was that it was in 'sleep mode'!"

He held the phone up in triumph and turning to his friends, said, "Hey guys, I fixed it!" But they weren't paying attention to him at the moment. Tucker shrugged when he saw they didn't notice and looked back down at his PDA to recheck his calculations.

Danny finally opened the portal and commented to Sam, "I'll be back as soon as I can. I did promise Matilda…"

"Matilda?" Sam suspiciously echoed. But she had a wry smile on her face.

Danny smiled back, acknowledging her tease, and replied, "That's the real name of the Sleeping Ghost. Anyhow, I did promise to fix her home. I kinda wrecked it the last time I was there, and…"

Tucker, now coming right up next to his friends, chimed in, "Yeah, you should have seen him! He was really upset and worried that you were hurt or going to sleep forever or something like that, and he just went ballistic with that ghost!"

Sam blinked in surprise. "You did that?" she asked, her eyes softening.

"He sure did!" Tucker answered for Danny with a smug smile.

"Tucker!" Danny objected.

"That's all right. We won't go there," Sam smiled, half in embarrassment and half in assurance.

Danny smiled weakly and said, "Well, I need to get going. I did promise Matilda."

And just as he started to enter the portal, Sam called gently to him, "And Danny?"

"Yes, Sam?"

Before Sam answered, Tucker, quite pleased with himself, silently slipped the phone into Sam's hand. Looking at it briefly, she returned her gaze to Danny, smiled gently at him and added, "Tell her 'thanks'!"

Closing his eyes, Tucker rocked on his heels and proudly answered, "You're welcome!"
