Please read and review!

A Whole New World
Danny placed the last of his and Sam's bags into his car, brushing away his long bangs. He turned and smiled at Sam, who was wearing her hair, which now reached to mid-back, in a high ponytail and was wearing a black, grey and purple plaid shirt that tied up at the front, exposing her midriff, dark grey jeans and black combat boots.
Sam smiled back at him and walked up to him, giving him a kiss on the cheek.
"We're almost ready," Sam said. "All that's left is to say goodbye."
Danny nodded. Even though he and Sam had planned this in their later years of high school, it still made him nervous for what he was about to do.
Sam, seeing his nervous look, squeezed his hand assuredly.
"It's okay, Danny," she said. "And, I'll be by your side."
Danny smiled. "Thanks Sam."
The Goth grinned and gave her boyfriend another kiss.
The door opened and a dark-skinned man walked out.
"Are you guys ready?" Tucker asked them.
"Yep," Sam and Danny answered in unison. Sam then went to double-check that their bags were all there, which gave Tucker the opportunity to ask Danny something privately.
"You've got it?"
"It's in my bag."
"When are you gonna do it?"
"At the end of our trip."
"Good luck, man."
"Thanks, Tuck."
Tucker walked away and the door of Fenton Works opened, revealing a twenty-year-old Jazz, and an older Jack and Maddie. They were smiling, but there were slight tear stains on Jack and Maddie's faces.
Danny, noticing this, smiled as he gave his parents a hug.
"Hey, it's okay. Who knows? The flight might be cancelled or we could be home early. But I'll miss you guys."
"We'll miss you too, sweetie," Maddie, giving her son, who was a foot taller than her, a tight hug. "I just can't believe you've grown up so much!"
"Yeah; it seems like only yesterday I was trying to stop you from eating crayons when you were two years old," Jazz remembered, smirking slightly.
"I did not eat crayons!"
"You did so."
"I did not!"
"Guess you and Jazz will have to agree to disagree," Jazz and Danny's youngest sibling, Dani-who was also not only Dani Phantom and half-ghost, but also Danny's clone. The sixteen-year-old gave Danny a tight hug, which he returned.
"Have fun on your trip Danny, but I'll miss you," Dani said.
"I'll miss you too, Dani," Danny said back. The two siblings pulled apart-only to be pulled, along with Jazz, in a massive bear hug from Jack.
"DAD!" all three siblings screeched, their dad crushing their ribs.
"It's not like we're all going," Danny muttered.
Eventually, Jack released them from his bear hug, Jazz, Danny and Dani rubbing their sides.
"Me and your mother are gonna miss you, Danny-boy. But, have fun on your trip with Sam," Jack said, still smiling.
Despite the fact that his ribs were probably bruised, Danny managed a smile.
"Thanks Dad; me and Sam have been planning this gap year of Europe since Junior year," Danny said back.
Jazz suddenly pulled him into a hug and said, "Don't get into too much trouble, be careful and for heavens' sake, don't forget to bring a freaking Fenton Thermos with you!"
"Okay, Mom."
Jazz rolled her eyes at the sarcastic remark, but her expression was still soft. "Bye, little brother."
"Bye, Spazz."
"Danny," Jazz groaned and Danny chuckled.
"Seriously. Bye, Jazz. And by the way, I'm taller than you, so I'm technically not little anymore."
"You'll always be my little brother to me."
"True, true."
The two shared their sibling hug for a little while, until Sam honked the wheel of Danny's car.
"Danny! I know saying goodbye is important, but I don't wanna miss our flight!"
Danny sighed dramatically. "I better go; don't wanna miss our flight."
Danny opened the driver's side door and got in, waving around ten times to his family and Tucker before he started the car and drove him and Sam to the airport.
"Look on the bright side, Sam; if we miss our flight, I could always fly us to London," Danny said.
"You do like to put a positive spin on everything, right?"
"Yes, but that's why you love me."
"You're hopeless," Sam said, before she kissed him. "But that's why I love you."
Danny chuckled, before he focused on the road again.
Soon, they were at the airport, and they had a minute to spare as they boarded their plane and found their seats, breathing in relief.
"We made it," Sam said.
"Yeah... I still would have flown us to London if we missed it," Danny said back.
Sam just merely shook her head and held Danny's hand.
"Here we go..." she muttered as the plane took off to London.
Danny and Sam's European gap year had began.
...
London, Seven Hours Later
"Ugh! Danny, I envy that your ghost powers make you immune to jet lag," Sam groaned, experiencing the effects of jet lag.
"I think that flying in-between states and in the Ghost Zone are the actual reason I may be immune to jet lag," Danny reasoned.
"Whatever the reason, I envy that you never have to experience jet lag again."
Danny laughed, before he gently rubbed a grumpy Sam's back.
"Hey, it's okay. We take a break so that you can get over the jet lag. We don't have to explore London straight away."
"Thanks, Danny."
"No problem, Sammy."
Sam glared half heartedly at Danny, before she groaned.
"Ugh... I think I'm gonna be sick..." Sam moaned, before she managed to get up out of the chair she had previously been sitting on and headed straight in the bathroom, where sounds of throwing up could be heard.
Danny sighed, running a hand through his hair, hoping that Sam would be okay.
Please be okay, Sam.
...
Day after
The day after tomorrow, Sam was feeling much better, and was ready to go explore London. They had breakfast at a nearby cafe, before Sam semi-dragged Danny up and the two went to Big Ben, before looking at the Tower Of London and taking a guided tour for it. They then went for a stroll along the Thames, smiling and kissing each other, before they had dinner on the Globe, enjoying the first day of their European gap year.
Now, Danny and Sam were in their hotel room, snuggling up together on the bed as they watched Doctor Who.
"You know, Sam..."
"What?"
"This gap year we're taking together... it's like a whole new world, considering until now we haven't travelled anywhere besides to other states in the US and the Ghost Zone."
"Agreed with you there, Danny. It's a new experience for both of us... but it's a good thing."
Sam leaned her head against Danny's shoulder, before he asked her, "Would you like to go for a fly above the city, Sam?"
"Sure, Ghost Boy."
Danny grinned, and changed into his alter-ego, Danny Phantom. Picking Sam up bridal style, he turned both himself and Sam intangible, and phased them through the hotel wall, and flew over the city.
"Don't drop me, Danny!" Sam yelled over the wind.
Danny chuckled. "Sam, don't you trust me?"
"Yeah, but that doesn't mean I'm still worried about you dropping me!"
Danny laughed again, and he flew up higher, which freaked Sam for a bit, but she gasped when she saw the sparkling stars above her, twinkling among the velvet-soft clouds.
Sam smiled at Danny as he flew then through the night sky on their romantic flight, the two of them illuminated by silver moonlight, before they returned back to their room, Danny changing back into his human form, and they fell asleep.
"I can show you the world
Shining, shimmering splendid
Tell me, princess, when did
You last let your heart decide.
"I can open your eyes
Take you wonder by wonder
Over sideways and under
On a magic carpet ride."
Danny and Sam spent two more weeks in London, before continuing on their next destination-which was Scotland.
Danny and Sam, who were now on a plane bound for Scotland, grinned.
Scotland, here we come.
...
Scotland
As soon as they landed, Danny was instantly bombarded by fans(it seemed like that the craze that Danny Phantom was Danny Fenton hadn't died down in Scotland). Eventually, after a dozen autographs signed and two dozen threats from Sam, the fans backed away, allowing Sam and Danny some time alone. They spent most of the day in their hotel room, but the next day Sam and Danny visited Loch Ness(AN: Not only would Sam, being a Goth, would like to visit because of Nessie, but that would be the first place I would go to if I ever visit Scotland), where the two found out there was a monster in the water... but it was actually a plesiosaur ghost. The ghostly marine reptile didn't bother them, but Danny still kept an wary eye on it. Afterwards, they explored the ruins of the ancient castles and then going back to the hotel room and making out, before Danny took Sam out to dinner, where their waitress nearly fainted at seeing that she was serving Danny Phantom, much to Danny's embarrassment and Sam's amusement. Then, after they finished their dinner, Danny and Sam took a romantic walk on the shore of one of the lochs, their love for each other deepening.
Eventually, despite how much they loved Scotland, they had to move on to their next destination... which was Germany.
…
On The Plane
Danny, noticing Sam looked paler than usual, frowned in concern.
"You okay Sam?"
"Yeah... actually, no."
At Danny's questioning look, Sam sighed and continued.
"It's just... I have mixed feelings about Germany. On the one hand, I would like to see Germany, but on the other hand, Germany is the place where thousands of Jews died. I just... don't know whether to be excited or disgusted that we're visiting a place where heaps of Jews were killed."
Danny gently took Sam's hand and said, "I understand that you're feeling mixed about Germany. But, I'm right here, and if we need to leave early if it gets too much... then that's okay."
Sam gave a grateful smile to Danny.
"Thanks Danny, for being so understanding."
"No problem, Sam."
Soon, the plane took off.
Sam looked out over the rolling land below her, a patchwork of fields, towns and forests. Taking her phone out, Sam snapped a few pictures, amazed at how different the world looked down below... almost like a whole new world...
Sam sighed and looked away from the window, leaning her head on Danny's chest, her eyes drifting closed, subconsciously aware of the arm that Danny placed around her shoulders.
"A whole new world
A new fantastic point of view
No one to tell us no
Or where to go
Or say we're only dreaming."
...
Germany
The plane landed and Danny gently shook Sam awake. The Goth girl squinted at the bright sunlight, before she and Danny got off. Sam, who wasn't experiencing much jet lag, walked around the city of Munich, Danny right behind her, before they retired to their hotel room.
The next day, Sam and Danny went on a gondola up to the Alps, where the two were amazed by the view... and got into a massive snowball fight. By the end, despite Danny's ice powers, Sam was the winner, and Danny took a photo of himself and Sam, with snow in their hair and on their clothes and skin, before they had to return back down, lest they got hypothermia or frostbite. But, it had still been an amazing experience... and Sam wouldn't stop playfully bragging to Danny how she beat him, before Danny pulled her into a shower of kisses, and the two began making out on the bed, having enjoyed today.
"A whole new world
A dazzling place I never knew
But when I'm way up here
It's crystal clear
That now I'm in a whole new world with you."
The couple spent another two months in Germany, visiting Berlin and Brussels and other German cities. Danny and Sam took many photos, and they took a photo of them visiting Danny's statue in Berlin(Danny reasoned that they had to visit at least one of his statues while they were in Europe), and had their fair share of eating German sweets between them. And now, two months later, they were on a plane bound for Denmark.
"Now I'm in a whole new world with you."
...
Denmark
After touching down in Copenhagen, Sam dragged Danny to see the Little Mermaid statue(after Sam explained the proper fairytale to Danny), before they took a bike ride through the town, Sam laughing as Danny trailed behind her slightly, but having as much fun as her, although he was feeling really nervous...
Eventually, their time in Denmark was over. Next on their list, Paris, France.
"Unbelievable sights..."
...
Paris
In Paris, Danny and Sam immediately visited the Eiffel Tower, before crashing in their hotel room. But tomorrow, they visited the Louvre, where even Danny was impressed with all the paintings. They then made a pit stop at a cafe, eating pastries. Along their way back to their hotel, Danny and Sam saw Paris' Danny Phantom statue, and the phan-girls admiring the statue turned and squealed when they saw the real thing, before they bombarded a surprised Sam and Danny with questions and demands of autographs(who knew that that Paris fangirls could be so vicious?). Eventually, Danny and Sam got away by Danny turning himself and Sam intangible. Laughing, the two ran to their hotel room, deciding to stay in there for the rest of the day. But tomorrow, their exploration of Paris would begin anew.
A month later, Danny and Sam had explored Paris from back to back, and were now ready to go to their next destination: Italy.
"Indescribable feeling..."
...
Rome
When their plane landed in Rome, it was around midnight. But after they checked in, Danny changed into his ghost form as soon as they entered their hotel room, gently picked Sam up bridal style and phased both himself and Sam through the roof and flew both himself and her through the night sky, Sam breathless at the night sky around her, the stars twinkling like diamonds...
"Soaring, tumbling, freewheeling
Through an endless diamond sky."
They eventually had to return back to their hotel room, but the next day their thirst for exploration began anew. They visited the Colosseum, had pizza, and strolled along the Tiber River, Sam telling Danny about the myth of Romulus and Remus, which Danny was actually interested in(after encountering Pandora, she had taught him some of the Greek myths and the occasional Roman myth); although Danny could swear he saw a blonde girl riding on an old-fashioned blue scooter with what appeared to be Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck(AN: Can you guess the reference?)past them, but when he tried to tell Sam, she frowned at him, before saying that the heat must have been playing tricks on his mind, Danny reluctantly agreeing with that logic. Though he was sure he saw something...
By the end of the day, Danny and Sam were back in their hotel room, exhausted but happy. When they got back, they started packing, as they planned to stay for only two days in Rome. However, when they finished, a news report on TV said that there had been a major earthquake, so roads had been temporarily closed, including roads to the airport.
"Looks like we're staying here for another day," Danny said, Sam's brow creased in worry.
"Do you think a ghost caused that earthquake? Like Vortex?"
"Sam, if Vortex or some other earthquake-causing ghost was here, my ghost sense would have gone off. And, they would have to go through Dani, Tucker, Jazz and my parents or to go through a natural portal to come for me. Relax."
Sam was still frowning, but not as much as before.
"If you say so..."
Danny looked out the window for a bit, thinking over something, before he got an idea.
"Hey Sam, remember when I said I would have flown us to London if we missed our plane?"
"Yes..."
"Why don't I fly us to Venice?"
"Danny! Venice is a long way from Rome. What if you get exhausted, or drop something or we get attacked or-"
"Sam, I know it's a risk. But I also knew what a risk it was to go into the Fenton Portal, or to enter the Ghost Zone after I accidentally blasted my dad's present for Mum into it. But, I took those risks, and I've come out stronger. Even if those things you mentioned happen, and with our luck they might, wouldn't it be better to take the risk than not to?"
"Dang, Danny, you sure are one good motivational speaker."
"Clockwork, Frostbite and Dora help."
Sam laughed, before schooling her features into a serious look.
"Okay... I'll take the risk. But we'll stop if we have to, right?"
"Yes."
"And what about our luggage?"
"I've been perfecting my telekinesis; I can carry our luggage telekinetically while flying and holding you."
"Okay, Mr. Superman. Just let me check that our bags are secure."
Sam got up and headed to a small black bag. Danny's eyes widened in panic and he shouted, "NO!"
Sam looked at him, her eyes narrowed in confusion.
"No? Why no?" she asked, hand cocked on her hip.
"I, uh, already checked that bag. It's secure," Danny lied nervously.
Sam sighed. "If you say so."
Sam checked over another bag and Danny thought, That was way too close.
Soon, Sam had given the all-clear that all their bags were secure. Danny changed into Phantom and picked Sam up bridal style, before concentrating. All the bags glowed green as they telekinetically floated up. Danny turned himself, Sam and their bags intangible and they phased through the roof, flying to Venice.
...
Over Perguia
So far, Danny and Sam's flight to Venice had gone well. Sam marvelled at the sights below her, before she became a little nauseous, causing her to close her eyes to block it out.
"Sam, open your eyes! You're missing everything out!" Danny's voice said to her.
"Danny, I feel sick..." Sam groaned.
Warm breath tickled her ear and she heard Danny say, "I'll make sure you feel alright."
Sam suddenly felt that Danny had made his flight a bit smoother, in an effort to soothe Sam's agitated stomach. She peeked an eye open and gasped at the sight below her. Not feeling sick anymore, Sam kept her eyes open...
"A whole new world
(Don't you dare close your eyes)"
Danny suddenly flew up higher, giving them an almost-perfect bird eye's view. Sam gasped, before she suddenly coughed.
"Danny... it's a bit thin up here," Sam told Danny.
Danny got a look of realisation on his face.
"Oh, sorry. I thought you might like the view."
"It's alright, Danny. And, I did like the view... but I need to breathe."
Danny gave her another sheepish look, but he flew back down, until Sam could comfortably breathe again, their bags trailing behind them.
"A hundred thousand things to see
(Hold your breath it gets better)"
Eventually, the two had arrived at Florence, where Sam insisted that they stop, not wanting Danny to over exert himself. They stayed in a cheap hotel room, before Danny and Sam went up on the roof, where a shooting star went past.
"Wow," Sam breathed, before resting her head on Danny's chest, Danny wrapping an arm around her shoulders. They didn't say anything, leaving Sam to think.
At freshman year, before she confessed her feelings to Danny, before Danny even got his powers and became Danny Phantom, she, Danny and Tucker had discussed going on this gap year together. But, in Junior year, Sam and Danny had decided that they would take this gap year together, and it made it even more special to Sam.
I've come really far from that. I'm not that same girl back then, Sam thought. And I don't think I could ever be that same girl again.
A minute later, Danny and Sam decided to retire to their room, wanting to rest up as much as possible for their final stretch of their gap year.
"I'm like a shooting star
I've come so far
I can't go back to where I used to be."
...
Florence
"You sure you'll be alright for this? We could stay longer here," Sam asked Danny, concerned for him as this flight from Florence to Venice would be a long one.
"Sam, I flew four days straight from Illinois to Wisconsin in that alternate reality I told you and Tucker about. This is gonna be nothing."
"Still... be careful."
"I'm always careful."
Sam rolled her eyes, but she still wrapped her arms around Danny's neck and he phased them through the roof, continuing on their journey, Sam in awe at the land below her, and how beautiful it looked, before glancing at Danny, and gasping at seeing how the light reflected off his white hair and highlighted his face. She looked down at the fields again, and gasped when she saw a herd of wild horses down below.
Danny, noticing it, flew down lower and Sam smiled at Danny, before she stroked the mane of a colt, before they flew up again, Sam still smiling as they neared Venice.
"A whole new world
(Every turn a surprise)
With new horizons to pursue
(Every moment, red-letter.)
Two hours later, they had arrived at Venice. When they landed, it was on a gondola, and they almost gave the poor gondolier a heart attack and the couple in the gondola practically freaked out at seeing Danny Phantom. They eventually calmed down, and the gondolier was kind enough to give them a ride to their hotel. They shouldn't, but they laughed at the gondolier's and the couple's reactions, before unpacking their bags and crashing immediately on the bed; hey, a flight like the one Danny took had taken a lot out of him!
However, the next day, now rested and raring to go explore, they booked a gondola ride, with Danny really nervous, as he had brought the thing that was in the bag, and was ready to do it...
"I'll chase them anywhere
There's time to spare
Let me share this whole new world with you."
"Sam?" Danny asked. The Goth girl was staring at the beautiful blue water.
"Hmm-mmm?" Sam asked back.
"Sam, there's something I need to ask you."
"Really?"
"Yeah. Sam, ever since we first started dating, I realised that you were the only person I wanted to be with for the rest of my life..."
"A whole new world
(A whole new world)
That's where we'll be
(That's where we'll be)"
Sam's eyes watered in happiness. "You don't mean..."
"I do. Samantha Pamela Manson..."
He opened the box he had pulled out from his bag.
"A thrilling chase..."
"Will you marry me?"
A joyful tear slipped out of Sam's eye.
"A wondrous place..."
"Yes," she whispered. "Yes, yes, YES! Yes Danny, I'll marry you!"
She pulled Danny into a passionate kiss, before Danny placed the engagement ring on her finger, and they looked out over Venice as they held hands.
"For you and me."
...
A Month Later
A month later, Danny and Sam were back home, and were treated to a welcoming party like no other.
"THEY'RE BACK!" Jack Fenton shouted, and Danny was tackled by both Dani and Jazz, being treated by a huge bear hug from them as Sam giggled at seeing her fiancé being crushed to death by Dani and Jazz's hugs.
"WELCOME HOME!" they shouted, grinning from ear to ear.
"Okay, okay! By the way... ribs!" Danny squeaked out.
"Sorry," Dani and Jazz apologised in unison, letting go.
Danny rubbed his side, as Maddie chuckled.
"Welcome back home, man!" Tucker exclaimed, as he held Danny and Sam in a side-hug. "So, how was your gap year?"
"Well..." Danny and Sam looked at each other, smiling. "It was pretty wonderful; almost like a whole new world. And, well..."
With no response, Sam just showed them her ring finger, where a sparkling amethyst engagement ring shone.
All at once, Dani, Maddie and Jazz squealed.
"AHHHHHHHH!"
Maddie, Dani and Jazz grabbed Sam's hands and spun her around, squealing, "You're getting married! You're getting married! You're getting MARRIED!"
Jack chuckled and slapped Danny across the back good naturedly, making Danny stumble.
"Good on ya, Danny! Nice one, popping the question while on your gap year!"
Danny chuckled and gently pulled Sam away from a still-squealing Dani, Jazz and Maddie and hugged her.
"Yeah, well, I was planning on asking her on our last day of our gap year. Tuck was the only who knew."
"And I'll be his best man!" Tucker exclaimed.
They all chuckled as they walked to the baggage claim, and Jazz asked, "So... when do we start planning?"
Again, this was a hard one-shot to write, but I hope I did it justice!
Now, you're probably asking why I'm going back to the start? Well, I know that there are like a thousand pairings, but I feel like there are certain songs that belong to just one pairing. Like, for example, there are a couple more songs that are perfect for the DaniXYoungblood pairing that I'm gonna be writing. But, if I can find songs that relate to them and I have enough time to write them beside my other planned one-shots, I'll do other Pairings at the end of my planned ones.
Replies to my guest reviewers:
Guest(chapter four): Yeah, the dreamy songs are perfect for DannyXPaulina.
It was really hard for me to write an one-shot centred around that song without it being sad, so of course, I had to write it with Danny dying.
Yeah, I like all the love songs, but I think I prefer the songs from Tangled, Beauty And The Beast, Frozen, Princess And The Frog, Hercules and Enchanted.
I know! Paulina isn't one of my favourite characters, but the dreamy, damsel-in-distress songs really have you relate to her more than you would know.
Aww, thanks! I try to make them as sweet as possible(even chapter three)
Guest(chapter five): I'm happy that this is your new favourite. I had real fun writing this. And I know. DANI AND YOUNGBLOOD ARE JUST TOO ADORABLE TOGETHER!
No, I don't own Danny Phantom or A Whole New World. They, respectively, belong to Butch Hartman and Disney.
