How Saving the Wold Destroyed Our Relationship

Sam sat late at night typing on her computer she was wearied eyed from typing. The essay she was to make was suppose to be about how saving the world could effect a relationship. Sam was sure that Tucker had hacked into Mr. Lancer's online Lesson Plane and tweaked it so that her and Danny would come to a realization, again.

Sam sighed as she ran the paper through spell check and pressed print. The assignment was due several days ago, and it was very unlike Sam to not hand in a report. But she didn't want to retell the tale that everyone knew. But now that it had a happily ever after she felt more than inclined to write.

HOW SAVING THE WORD DESTROYED OUR RELATIONSHIP AND BROUGHT IT BACK

"How many times will we pass each other by until we notice what we were missing all this time?"

Just another lame quote on the board, which somehow changed everything. Where to start? I guess the very beginning would be best even though it was so long ago…or so it seems. It really is true that if you miss a week of school you missed a life time of events. This was true for my friend Tucker. When he first got sick Danny and I weren't on speaking terms. Then IT happened.

It was English class and Mr. Lancer was teaching us. On the board he had written another lame quote of the week, like he always did. But it was odd because it was simulare to the same thing that had been going on with me and Danny.

Lately things have been different. We had gone out once before but that ended in a train wreck, when Paulina and every other girl in the world with less than half a brain tried to force us apart. At first I would fight them off, but then I started to become very insecure…it was really my fault that we ended up splitting. But even though we tried to date other people it didn't work we still loved each other and we were back to square one.

It was funny just watching him go through floozy after floozy not knowing any of their names just their curves and my popularity as Danny's side kick allowed me assess to the hottest guys. But the lack of substance in a relationship was enough to drive anyone insane. We differed, we were once able to read the other's mind just by looking at the other and at that point in time during the end of tenth grade we couldn't bare to look each other in the eye. After all that was the cause of why we were drowning ourselves in indulgences.

He saved the world and was commerated for it in the fall and we had broken up after the winter formal before the holidays. I picked up art over that summer. But I couldn't paint nothing more than Danny saving the world, his battles and even his human form. They go detailed to the point that only I would know the scars on his arms and legs and the true stories behind him. Even the scars that were battle scars, but childhood injuries.

Our trio would have a sleep over every Saturday night normally at Danny's and we would compare stories. I only moved here in seventh grade but the two outcasts quickly accepted me. We became inseparable; we even stayed friends after our break up. It wasn't the nasty fight that made me run crying from the gym during the dance it was the fact that he asked me if he minded if he was allowed to have more girls than me on the side and he was taking advantage of his celebrity status on the side. Even though he said he still loved me.

It took me till the end of eleventh grade to trust him. It was then that he was truly sorry, but I couldn't find it in my heart to forgive him. But now that he was sorry I was hell bent on breaking his heart the same way that he broke mine. I went out with every guy he hung out with other than Tucker. He would never fall for my surade or be used by me. I did the one thing I said I never would; I used my body as a tool.

It didn't matter who I was going with at the time, I would use them for a week or two and then toss them out the window. I watched as Danny died a little more inside as I kissed each boy. My heart did the same as we went on double date together. We were still best friends but hell bent on making the other suffer.

That's when during the summer I was with some random guy I just picked up, Danny with I don't even remember who and Tucker with Jazz who was home from Yale she was headed to her sophomore year in the fall. He got so pissed that he dumped the punch bowl on Danny's head and shoved a hot dog down my shirt at the Fenton's Fourth of July Barbeque. His exact worlds still burn in my soul.

"HOW LONG IS THIS GOING TO GO ON GOD DAM-IT? WHAT IS THIS GOING TO ACCOMPLISH? I BET YOU DON'T KNOW THE NAME OF THE PERSON NEXT TO YOU AND JUST PICKED THEM UP FOR THE PARTY! GET OVER YOUR TWO YEAR OLD REVENGE SCHEEM BECAUSE IT'S NOT WORKING! AN EYE FOR AN EYE WILL MAKE THE WHOLE WORLD BLIND! HOW LONG WILL YOU KEEP ON FIGHTING LIKE THIS?"

I've never seen Tucker so mad before, but he was right. I left and spent that night crying. Even though I promised that I would never let tears fall for the sake of Danny again. I told myself that I would only concern myself as a friend and nothing more. That didn't work to well did it?

School started up and it was our senior year. None of us were talking to each other and more than ever I didn't care who had their hand on my waist. I would cry every night. Then Tucker called making me and Danny worry, he was sicker than ever before.

That idiot made us believe that he had ecoplamasticsycosus. Which for those who aren't that up to date on their ghost activity it is a skin condition, that will turn your coloration a blueish-purple as the virus sucks the life out of the cells in your body. Turns out that Tucker just jumped into a bat of blue frosting, at the cake mix factory tour that we went on as a class trip to under stand the industries in America.

For the short time that we believed him. Danny and I put our differences aside and did what ever we could to help him. It was then that I realized that I did care who it was I was doing things with. I wouldn't kiss anyone else and for the first time in a long time I was dateless. And that wasn't the part that made me hollow inside. Tucker had been out of school for some time and the fact that Danny too was dateless and we started playing The What If Game out of boredom and need to keep talking.

The game basically makes you answer the questions of what if the sky was purple instead of blue would the sun rise the way it does every day? Well it would but I won't confuses you with the scientists detail. You're probably wondering why I haven't talked much about the saving the world part. For some reason the ghost that would attack us, kid nap myself and Tucker and constantly put our realm in peril had stopped attacking.

They were helping Tucker with futile attempts to attack the relationship that we had made. We had our heads buried in the sand so that we couldn't longingly look at the other. It was hard at first to start but we were in comforting bubbles ignoring the way we felt.

Then IT happened. The first day of school flew by and time sped past us. It was amazing how the senior year was just passing us by. Our last Columbus Day in high school went by and SAT scores were sent to collages. I was headed off to Benton a collage in Canada not to far from Toronto. Every woman in my mother's family attended there and my parents had no problems sending me away to an all girl's school. While Danny was off to this school for astronauts training and Tucker was going to become a tech student so that he can launch the shuttles that Danny was to go on. I knew they would never part.

IT was home the home coming dance. For some reason I'm sure Tucker was behind it, I was crowned Home Coming Queen! And well….you know who was crowned king. The king and queen have to dance and it is a curse that if they don't end up together that night love will haunt them. But I know the ghost that haunts them…Electra. She was working her magic spraying magic dust over us…but she didn't know what ever she did would never work. We already loved each other more than life itself.

We floated about a foot over the ground due to the counteractions of Danny's ghost powers and Electra's spell casting. I didn't mind it at all. The dance ended and we looked at each other longing for that end of dance kiss. I was the make a move after staring an eternity in his eyes. I was sure a crowd was gathering but I did the first thing that I could think to, I ran. What else could I do?

I ran to the same spot we met. In a strange way I found comfort in the hallway where the window ledge was wide enough to sit on. It was in the back of the building by the business classes so no one really wondered there. When he found me the first time I was crying, a girl in a new town missing all her friends. This time I was crying again, but a spoiled reason. Like all Americans I wanted what I couldn't afford, but I was not so indulgent to give into my emotional whims it was for the best that we are apart. I distracted him in battle and I still for some reason at that point in time remember why we split to begin with. I truly didn't under stand.

Danny surprised me by following me. Well…I wanted him to but when he stood before me in the same awkward pose from several years in our past. I couldn't stop myself it all just poured out of me.

"Danny I still love you, I've never stopped. I know you were just joking when you said that but so was I! I wanted to see if you would follow me like you did now! Danny I can't stand this! You and I belong together why can't you see it as clearly as me?" The words escaped before I had the change to cover my mouth to prevent them form tumbling out.

"Sammie, I just wanted to ask if you've seen Tucker." Danny laughed as I punched his shoulder. I was ready to call him a jerk and run, change my name and switch schools due to embracement. But once I stood he held my arms tight and pulled me to him, he kissed me pashionaly as if nothing had happened. As if we were living only to torture the other, just living for this moment alone.

Like that we were back together and on Monday when Tucker came back to school after having the flue for a week and a half he missed our fight that ended in the best make up sex ever. We had stopped passing each other by and were in the other's arms. We were back in sink for fighting ghost and not each other.

Sam printed out the essay and read it over. She laughed as she folded and placed it in a box that was labeled. 'Things to Burn'. She deleted the essay and started all over again.
