A/N: This update is a little short. :/ sorry. Please let me know what you think in the reviews!


*Now*

"Jazz?" I call out, trying to find her.

She'd ran off, leaving me standing in the foyer.

I'd already checked out two other rooms. One was a gigantic ball pit that I knew for a fact I wasn't getting into.

The second was a sort of jungle gym with ten different slides. It looked like something I would have enjoyed when I was younger. Innocent.

Suddenly, Jazz jumps in front of me, startling me. "Boo!"

I stumble backwards, then glare at her. I don't like to be scared.

"Sorry." She says with a chuckle.

I continue to glare for a second before I ask my question. "What are we doing here?"

"What does it look like we're doing here? We're here to play!" She leans down and takes her shoes off. "Come on!"

I watch her run to the trampoline style floor.

"Jazz-"

"Come on!" She yells, bouncing up and down, grinning.

I walk over to her and stand in front of the trampoline, my arms crossed.

"You have to take your shoes off." She says.

I stare at her. How is she doing this? This is so childish and stupid.

She stops jumping. "Come on, Danny, it's impossible to frown on a trampoline."

I have nothing to say anymore. I don't want to destroy her innocence.

"Jazz, I don't want to." I say.

"Please, little brother? For me?" She asks.

I bite my lip. I can't.

"No." I say.

She stares at me for a few minutes, breathing heavily from all the jumping. "Danny, I'm worried about you."

I inhale slowly. "Don't be. I'm fine."

She sighs and jumps off the trampoline. "Please, Danny."

"Please what?" I ask.

"Just...relax. Just for today. Relax and let yourself enjoy the day." She says to me.

Her words mean nothing to me.

I turn around and walk the opposite way, leaving her standing in front of the trampoline.

*Then*

My name was called and I walked across the stage to receive my diploma. Sam came after me, so I was happy that I was going to get the chance to watch her cross the stage and receive her diploma. She had told me that today was about her parents, to them. I was going to make sure that she knew today was about her.

I waited for what seemed like a very long time before Sam's name was called.

I stood up from my seat and cupped my hands around my mouth. "I love you, Samantha!"

Her eyes opened widely and she faltered in her walk across the stage.

When she saw it was me who was hollering her name, her face lit up.

Nobody quite knew what to do. The principal stared in my general direction, and Sam slowly started walking across the stage again, a huge grin on her face.

"Congratulations!" I hollered.

She chuckled and shook her head, obviously amused.

I felt a hand on my shoulder and turned to look.

Mr. Lancer was on the other end of that arm. He looked kind of ticked.

"Settle down, Mr. Fenton. You're disrupting the ceremony." He said.

I grinned. "Or what? More after school detention?"

Surprisingly, he smiled. So I sat down.

Sam collected her diploma and walked to her seat. She had to pass by me to get to her seat.

"Thank you." She mouthed.

I winked and she smiled.

We both knew it. There wasn't anything I wouldn't do for that girl.
