WARNING: If the idea of Technus and Sam being friends or more freaks you out TURN BACK. Or if you don't like the idea of Sam with anyone other than Danny period. It's not going away and it's only going to get progressively more frequent. And if you look on my dA gallery (username: Transformer-wannabe) you'll see why I'm warning you this far in advance. Nothing is going to happen this early in the story but I need to give you fair warning so I don't get any freak outs or too many reviews saying how gross it is. I get it. You can stop saying it now, everyone. It's for fun, not to be taken seriously. It's just me taking this already far fetched plot line to another level.

Sam dreamed of the woman again. This time the woman wasnt with her though. Sam watched from a distance as the woman, her face shrowded in shadows, placed a bundle of blankets on the top stare of an old buidling. Sam had passed this building before with her friends on partrol and knew it well.

The orphange.

Sam tried to call out to the woman but she didn't appear to hear her. Sam tried to run to her but no matter how fast her legs moved she never got any closer. The shadow woman backed away from the bundle, wrapping her amrs around her self tightly. She looekd around, her gaze finding Sam.

The teen shouted for her but the woman's empty eyes seemed to look right through her. Sam tried desperately to walk to her and ask her her name but she couldn't get the woman to even notice her.

Sam froze as the woman began to walk toward her. She kept her head down and slumped over as if fighting off the cold. Sam reached out as the woman drew close enough to touch. The girl gasped as her fingers went right through the woman as if she weren't really there. She tried again and again to grab the woman and stop her. To ask her who she was and what was going on. But all of her efforts failed and the woman walked right through her. Sam felt nothing but cold and eptiness as the woman passed through her very being and continued down the road.

And she didn't look back.

Sam's eyes opened quickly and she sat up in her bed. She looked around and found herself still in her room in Skulker's lair.

Wiping the sweat from her upper brow she let out a tired brath. It wasnt that the dream frightened her. Or that it was scarey at all... It felt so... real.

"That was a freaky dream..." She said to herself as she brushed her hair from her face.

"What do you mean?"

Sam shrieked in surprise as technus turned visible, standing beside the bed. She lurhced backward and smacked into the wall. She gripped her head in pain while letting out an angry growl at the ghost.

"What are you doing in here?" She asked looking around her.

The master of technology laughed loudly, "You should have seen your face!"

Sam's face reddened from embarassmnet and anger as he laughed at her. He put his hands on his knees as he cackled shrilly and loudly.

"What do you want, Technus?" Sam asked, growing quickly annoyed.

He took several deep breaths in the middle of laughing fits and slowly brought himself back down to his regular calm.

"Skulker told me- Ehehe- to come and wake you up." He told her, fighting back more giggles.

Sam eyed him as she slowly rose from the bed. It seemed that Technus didn't show any emotion but when he felt like laughing he could go forever! And she'd seen him laugh a lot since he and Danny had started battling.

Sam grabbed her boots and slipped them on. She quickly moved to the door, on a much less painful ankle, and opened it. She glanced back over her shoulder to see Technus liesurly walking behind her. She rolled her eyes and left the room.

'Creeper.'

She stepped into the hall and looked down it both ways. It was weird that Skulker hadn't come to get her today but had sent Technus. It wasn't like Skulker to have other people go get people for him.

Sam looked downt he hall to the den and saw him reclining in his large char with a hot cup of what she could only assume was green ghost coffee. The fire place was lit wth a blue glowing fire and over all Skulker looked pretty calm. That meant it was safe to enter.

Sam treaded carefully as she approached the mechanical man. She took quiet steps and approached with caution. She'd never seen Skulker so calm before and, honestly, she wasn't sure it was real.

she walked up beside his arm chair, though about 3 feet away and stopped, her hands crossed safely behind her back.

"Since you insisted that I hate you..." Skulker started cooly, "I've decided to send you back a day early."

Sam blinked in confustion, "What?"

"Well clearly, we are too hostile to spend another whole day together so I figured if you went off today to school you would get a decent break." The hunter said as he sipped his drink- an ability that Sam would have to ask how his suit was capable.

Sam frowned but couldnt find a suitable argument. They had had minor spats that could grow to actual fights if they were kept in close quarters for much longer. And she wasn't exactly going to turn down an opportunity to leave.

She looked at the device attached to her wrist and frowned more. She still couldnt think of a good explaination for this though. She could always tell Danny it was a rave bracelet or something. But Danny knew she didn't go out partying. Party's had to come to her.

The teen looked behind her as technus entered the room. He dug in his pockets until he pulled out a micro chip. He walked over to sam and unceramoniously grabbed her wrist and shoved the ship into a slot on the device. The green light on it turned to yellow then back to green again, letting out a beep.

"What was that?" Sam asked looking up at the technopath.

"A chip to synch your wrist band and my inner computer so I can track you as well." Technus told her, "It will also allow me to record data from the life of the ghost boy's side kick."

"Great..." Sam rolled her eyes. She crossed her arms and huffed, "So how are we going to pull this off?"

Skulker didn't move to get up, he just turned his head to face his friend, "Show her."

Technus smirked and held up his hand. A device materialised in it and he wrapped his fingers around it. Sam cocked her head as he began to push buttons on it. It was no bigger than a small cell phone and had a string attached to it in a large loop. She watched as Technus grabbed the strap and put it over his head and around his neck. It seemed to compress, shrink and tighten so it would not come off.

"This ecto-projector will allow me to take the form of a young human while blocking my ecto signature from the whelp." Technus explained, "The ghost kid won't even know it's me."

Sam raised her brows, unimpressed, "Oh really? Show me."

"Now untill we get there. Can't spoil the surprise can we?" technus messed her hair teasingly.

He was enjoying her captivity too much.

Skulker check a watch built into his arm and said, "You have an hour to get cleaned up and ready to go, girl. Make it quick."

Sam was ready to ask where the bathroom was but she figured she'd be able to find it on her own. She started to turn when another good question entered her mind.

"What about my parents?" Sam asked looking back at Skulker, "If they find out I'm in town they'll force me to go back. And where am I supposed to tell everyone I was staying? They'll need a location."

"Taken care of," Skulker stood and moved around the girl to the front door, "I arranged a temporary base for you to "live" in should the whelp ever want to see your "new home"."

"Oh, really?" Sam crossed her arms and raised her brows at him, "And where is that? Another hunter's lodge."

"Ember's cover house." Skulker told her with a smirk, "She used it to make her fans believe she was human and living in your world. Since she lives here she never uses it but it should serve your needs. No one goes around there anymore so noone should notice you."

Sam's eyes with a bit wider, "Hm... You were thorough.."

"As always." Skulker cuckled and opened the front door, "I'll be waiting outside. Come out when you're ready."

Sam frowned at him, having run out of ways to put this off. She instead left the den and proceeded to get ready for the day.
