Once Danny left, Sam went upstairs. I might as well turn in, she thought. She started climbing her stairs.
Meanwhile, Danny arrived home. He wasn't surprised to hear his parents still working in the lab. They had stayed up until dawn when they had first built the portal.
Sam changed into her PJs. Turning, she climbed under her covers. She fell asleep and started dreaming.
Danny got into his bed. He began to dream as soon as his head hit the pillow.
In her dream, Sam looked around. She was in Antarctica. The machine that had been built to save the world was in the background. In front of her, Danny Phantom was saying goodbye to Jazz before he left for the Ghost Zone. Walking down memory lane are we? she asked herself.
Danny looked over to see Sam approaching him. She picked up his hand and opened her fist, dropping an object in his palm. Danny wasn't surprised he was dreaming this memory; he had many times before.
"It's the ring you were going to give Valerie. You asked me to hold it, remember? Something tells me it was really meant for me." Sam turned the ring over. Wes became Sam. "Take it with you. But promise to bring it back. If you promise then... then I know I'll see you again."
Danny glanced at the ring and back at Sam. "If we make it through this-"
"When we make it through this," she corrected.
"Right. When we make it through this, I-I have a few things I need to talk to you about."
"I think I'd be willing to listen. And no matter how this thing ends, this whole ride we've been on together, I wouldn't change it for the world." Here she held his hands. "Not one bit."
"Me neither. I-" he broke off when Sam kissed his cheek.
Sam looked down. I can't believe I just did that! She felt Danny's hand take hold of her chin.
Danny looked at her. She's so beautiful. Inside and out.
What's he thinking? Sam thought. Does he hate me now? At that moment, Danny kissed her.
The kiss was sweet and loving. It never seemed to end. Sam thought, If this was a movie, or at the very least a TV show, the camera would be spinning around us right now. (AN: Wink wink)
Eventually, they broke apart.
"Wow," Danny said. "Remind me to save the world more often."
Sam smiled. "Go."
As Sam watched him fly off, she abruptly realized that this had all been a dream. But it had felt like she had really been reliving the memory. Kinda like the time Danny had visited her dream. Sam shook her head. Nah, he wouldn't do that... Would he?
Danny phased into the jet. Strange. This dream felt like Sam was really there. But how could she be?
Suddenly, the two awoke.
Danny groaned and looked for the cause of his sudden consciousness. Finding it, he said, "Hey Danielle. Did you have to jump on me at 2:30 in the morning?"
Dani looked down, a scared expression on her face. "I had a bad dream. About Vlad."
Danny looked at his little sister sympathetically. "He's not going to hurt you again. He can't. But you can sleep here if you want."
Dani sighed, relieved. "Thanks." She crawled under his covers and promptly fell asleep.
Danny smiled, closed his eyes, and drifted back to dream land.
Over at the Manson mansion, Sam whirled around, disoriented by her dream. She had heard a slashing noise and a bright light had flashed, waking her up. What was that? She finally spotted the source of her sudden awakening. She gasped.
"Wulf?"
Author's Note: Dun dun dun! To be continued!
Did you like the dream sequence? I wanted to include the big kiss from Phantom Planet, but I started my story too late. So I found a loophole! The dream also serves another purpose which you will learn soon enough.
Also, heads up, my exams are coming soon so I might be slower in updating due to all the reviewing I'm going to be doing.
Which reminds me: please review!
