Dani sat looking down sadly at the ground, Demetri was flying by and then saw her. He landed down and sat down next to her, also looking down in the dumps.
"Hey smallish ghost" Demetri said. "Where's big ghost?"
"With Sam" Dani answered sadly. "He never has time for me anymore. He's too busy helping her"
"Sheesh! Boy do I know how you feel. My own brother gave me the heave ho and all for a babe. Actually two really hot babes" Demetri said. "You better make sure your brother doesn't walk out on you"
Her eyes widened at the thought, but then she shook it off and said, "He wouldn't do that to me"
Demetri scoffed and said gesturing to the sky, "I said the same thing eh, but get a look at Vulture-anova over there"
Dani looked at the sky and saw Victor laughing with the girls and then he said, "Shall I compare thee to a summer's dew?"
"Oh did you make that up?" Tina asked. Marge then gushed, "He's such a poet"
Demetri sighed and said as he flew off, "I guess I'll see you around little ghost"
Dani then really began to worry about what Demetri said. Would Danny leave her for Sam? Unsure she decided to head over to the other side, not really in the mood for swimming she flew over the river and landed on the shore. She then heard the laughter of Danny and Sam, she stayed behind the rocks and watched as Sam laughed as Danny told her a story while they sat in front of a fire.
"Anyway we spent the whole day trying to get away from Klemper as he kept shouting, 'Will you be my friend?!'" Danny finished.
Sam laughed again while Dani just rolled her eyes in annoyance at the interaction between them. Sam then said, "This is the most fun I had since we were kids"
She then rubbed her arms feeling a little cold and asked Danny, "Hey aren't you cold from the night air?"
"Not really. Since Dani and I discovered we had ice cores, the cold doesn't really affect us" Danny said.
They both smiled warmly and both were feeling something different about each other, they both then remembered what they were going to do the next day and looked away from each other. Sam then said with a sad sigh, "So Hokani Falls, I guess we'll make it in time after all"
"I guess" Danny said.
"A lot sure has changed since the last time we were there" Sam said.
"No kidding" Danny said understanding what she was talking about. He then began to realise that he was falling in love with her but knew that they couldn't be together since she was getting married.
Unknown to him, Sam was starting to feel the same way but then remembered she was engaged to Dash. Sam then asked, "Do you ever miss being human Danny? I mean have you ever thought about uh…changing back?"
Dani's eyes widened as she heard that question she had been dreading Sam would ask him, she looked at Danny and hoped his answer would be no.
But her hopes were crushed when she heard him say, "Yeah I…I've thought about it"
"I knew it" Dani said on the verge of tears as she came out of hiding.
Danny and Sam looked at her and realised she was listening to them. Danny then realised his mistake and began to say, "Dani…"
But Dani cut him off and cried, "You're going back with her!"
"Dani wait!" Danny called as Dani suddenly flew off. "Dani stop!"
Danny and Sam looked at each other and then Sam grabbed onto Danny's hand and they flew off after her. Dani kept flying breathing heavily and allowing her tears to fall, she couldn't believe what she just heard! Danny was thinking about leaving her just to be with Sam!
Dani then landed on the ground and began to run farther to the mountains. Behind her she could hear Danny calling out, "Dani!"
Danny landed at the top of the hill and called out, "Danielle! Answer me!"
He looked down and saw Dani's tracks were heading into the mountains. Sam and Danny walked up the mountain following Dani's footprints, but the wind and snow got worse and it was causing the tracks to fade away.
Danny then tried calling out to her again, "DANI!"
When no answer came, they continued on. Sam stopped for a second and watched Danny walk around the corner, she then noticed on the ground footprints that matched Dani's boots going into an ice cave.
"Hello?" Sam called out as she entered the cave. She then called out, "Dani are you in here?"
Suddenly she gasped as she felt some ice fall on her, she looked up at the roof and realised that really loud noises will cause the entire cave to collapse. Sam entered deeper into the cave until she came into an open area inside.
"Where are you? Dani?" Sam whispered.
Suddenly behind her she heard a sniff, she turned and saw it was Dani sitting inside a hole of the cave crying. Dani then said, "Go away"
"Oh Danielle, Danny is worried sick about you" Sam said. She then reached out her hand and said, "Come on I'll take you to him"
Dani shook her head and shouted, "No! I said go away!"
As Dani's echoes bounced around the cave, a little more ice fell from the roof. Sam then pleaded, "Dani please keep your voice down. It's not safe in here"
"I don't care! Just leave me alone!" Dani shouted.
Suddenly the entire cave began to shake, they both looked up and saw the roof began to crack and more ice began to fall. Dani then said and came out of the hole hugging Sam's waist, "Sam! I'm sorry!"
"We're gonna be alright but we gotta go now!" Sam said and then she and Dani began running out of the cave as the roof began to collapse around them.
"Run faster!" Sam shouted.
They both dodged the falling rocks falling. Sam then saw the entrance and said, "We're gonna make it!"
Sam just managed to jump out of the exit when a large rock blocked it, however Dani's leg got stuck. Sam ran back and pulled her out just as another rock fell, they both fell to the ground near the edge of the cliff and panted heavily. Suddenly they heard a noise above them and looked up and screamed as they saw an avalanche heading towards them.
Danny heard their screams and saw the avalanche, he then saw them sitting on the ledge and gasped in fright and screamed, "DANIELLE!"
Dani and Sam held onto each other as the snow broke the ledge and they began sliding down it like a sled. Sam then screamed, "Hang on Dani! Don't let go of me!"
Dani held her tighter but then suddenly, the broken ledge hit a rock and broke, they both fell off and landed on the ground and before they could react the snow fell on top of them and buried them deep within a lot of snow.
Danny flew down to where they were buried and immediately began to dig through the snow, he kept digging and digging deeper and deeper until finally he saw the face of Dani.
"Dani!" He shouted. He dug more snow out of the hole and then phased Dani and placed her down, he then phased Sam out of the hole and placed her down.
They both breathed deeply and then both he and Dani looked at each other, Dani was on the verge of tears again knowing that the avalanche was her fault and she nearly got herself and Sam killed.
Danny looked at her gently and said, "Dani, what would I have done if anything happened to you?"
Dani sniffled and began to cry again. She then said, "Y-you're gonna leave me"
She then gestured to Sam and said, "You said you missed being one of them"
She then buried her face in her hands and continued to cry, Danny and Sam looked at each other both knowing that their conversation is what set Dani off in the first place. Sam and Danny sighed sadly at each other and then Sam walked off leaving him alone with Dani.
"You're going back with her aren't you?" Dani asked.
Danny looked at her and said, "I do miss things but…you're my sister. I'll never leave you"
Dani cried again and then crawled over and hugged him tightly, Danny returned the hug and rubbed soothing circles on her back and said, "Not ever"
Sam sat down and looked at the amulet around her neck, she then looked back at Danny and Dani and thought that maybe it'd be better if she just left once they burned the amulet tomorrow night.
