Ahhhh, just under two weeks until exams properly begin, although I have a German exam on Wednesday that I'm not looking forward to :/ Let's just hope I get enough revision in! At first, I get really stressed when I think about writing a #phanniemay oneshot, but it sort of calms me down after a long day of studying and whatnot.
ALIKAT131: Really! I'm glad :) Thanks for reviewing~
Deborahpflover: Thank you for those comments! :D I wasn't aiming for anything really - I just enjoy exploring things in the DP universe and this challenge is the perfect way for me to do that. It's so nice that you are reading!
V.I.Y.H: Do you? And I /adore/ Tucker. He's so witty and fun XD
"Cut!"
"Well, Danny…" the interviewer seemed unsure what to say. He fiddled with the papers in his lap, lining them up then lining them up again before shuffling them around a bit and scanning through a few. He coughed, cleared his throat and then awkwardly glanced that the cameramen to the left of us. Our audience wasn't overly small – just a collection of production staff, Jazz who had come along to make sure I wasn't being harassed, and director who sat in his chair with his megaphone set firmly in his lap.
"Yes?" I looked steadily back at him and blinked, my hand rested on my chain in a way that didn't make me look bored.
"What you just told me… us…" he fell silent again.
"Yes?"
He furrowed his brow and glanced at his watch before his eyes trailed to look out of the large window, which had beyond it a view of the center of Amity Park. Cars were bustling, people were continuing their daily lives as per usual. A group of Phan Girls tottered past, unaware that their idol was a few storeys above them.
"…Let's move on to the next question, shall we?"
"Um… ok. Sure."
Jazz and I exchanged confused expressions as he cleared his throat again. The director shouted 'action!' for the hundredth time and soon I found myself putting on an automatically tv-like persona, trying to come across confident as I set my shoulders forward and folded my hands on my knees with a soft smile.
"So," he began again, as if we had just started our 'conversation', "tell us about Samantha Manson."
"Sam?"
"If you would."
"Well…" I felt a faint heated blush start to creep up my face and I put on a thoughtful expression to hide it, as well as a soft smile while I planned my answer. "It must be clear by now that we are indeed, as you would say, an item. But that term by no means makes in any less strong or true. I love her, and I hope she feels the same way back.
"It was her, after all, who was the one that encouraged the cause of my 'accident' in the first place. She's the one that took the photo of me just before it happened, with a confused looking, human me holding a haz-mat suit that soon inverted to the way you see now. She was also the one that screamed as loud as I did with worry as I half died, and the first to rush to me as I stumbled across my parents' lab floor. Tucker was close behind of course, but I've already talked a lot about him, I guess.
"She returned my memories to me after I took them away, she was the true victor of many of Team Phantom's ghost fights and Sam was the girl that motivated me enough to find my feet again before the Disasteroid hit.
"We like to keep our private lives to ourselves, and I don't want the media to get involved too much into our relationship. We both do not want silly articles in papers or things like that. But, like I spoke about with Tucker, I can still tell you the honest truth of what I think of her. She's a strong and independent person – you can tell that much from how different she is compared to her mother and father, she's always making sure that she gets her opinion heard and, more often than not, the one who convinces me no to do stupid stuff. Or she stops it after I've done it. I suppose that's why I am so attracted to her, in a way. She's a breath of fresh air with her unique personality and her literal thinking keeps me logical. You sort of need someone like that when you're in my position."
Silence.
I spoke again: "was that enough?"
"…Yes, that was… very interesting, Danny."
