At The Beginning
Sam walked out the nurse's office first, not wanting to see Raven in her asthmatic state. She's been like this since they were four; Raven had frequent asthma attacks and had to go to the hospital always. Seeing Raven in that condition made Sam more useless for Raven, as she had seen her in the hospital bed with at least three or four oxygen tanks when she had the drive by incident
,"Sam, you okay?" Looking over her shoulder, she saw Jake walking toward her, "You seem upset. Anything I can do?"
,"Yeah, get lost!" Danny walked over to Jake, who was ready to hit Danny if he had to. Quickly, Sam stood in-between the two boys with her arms spread out. Danny noticed that Sam didn't want to be bothered by anyone else.
,"Sam?" Danny asked concernly,"Are you alright? You seem-"
,"I'm fine. I'm going to finish my stupid detention, then visit Ray later on." She walked out of the main building, and going into the auditorium, where Ms.Doris was awaiting her.
,"Ah, Miss Manson you arrived!" Her singsong voice made Sam cringed, but shook it off as she was given orders, "You may begin your detention with the others, by painting the background. Then I might ask you to get some old props from the storage room, that have particular items I wish to use in this year's musical." Sam nodded, and walked onto the stage; getting a paintbrush from one of the paint cans, she began to paint the set.
,"Hey, Sam!" Tucker appeared painting beside her.
,"Tucker? I thought you were gonna ditch detention and hang out at the arcade." Sam whispered, as Ms. Doris walked passed them.
,"Well, I thought it'd be interesting to stay after all. For a little entertainment." Sam cocked an eyebrow, wanting to know what he was up to; seeing the evil grin on his face getting more anticipated for something.
,"What kind of entertainment?" Sam warily questioned her knowledgeable tech-loving friend.
The doors flew open, as Danny and Jake ran to Ms. Doris, unison, "Ms. Doris, I have to make up a detention!"
,"Does that answer your question?" Tucker smiled at Sam, showing his face covered in paint. Her mouth agape as she sighed at both boys.

,"Miss Manson, you've done enough." Ms. Doris looked up at the ceiling, where Sam was on a ladder, putting up a banner saying: CASPER HIGH'S 25TH MUSICAL BY MS. NANCY AMELIA DORIS II, "You may go home, now." Ms. Doris was an ant to where Sam was, but Sam nodded happily in agreement. She had to deal with Danny and Jake who were trying to help Sam, but they couldn't try making a mess of the stage, that Sam volunteered to redo since she was the only person there.
,"Five hundred, forty-seven students in this high school, and they barely have any talent" Ms. Doris spoke angrily to herself, putting some of the musical's songs in her tye-dye bag, but unknown that one fell onto the floor. She walked out the doors with her colorful handbag dangling on her elbow.
Sam steadily walked down the steps, but then her foot slipped, she lost balance and started to fall. Shutting her eyes, she waited for the impact, but instead felt strong arms catch her; opening her eyes to see her hero to be Danny Fenton.
,"Watch your step. You could've really hurt yourself." Danny held Sam in a bridal position with her arms around his neck; she quickly jerked her arms off and felt herself blush.
,"You could put me down, now, Danny." Danny's cheeks were on fire as Sam's, when he set her down, his embarrassment made him rub the back of his neck nervously, "Sorry, Sam."
Sam regained self-control as she picked up a paper on the floor, and placed it on the table. Danny stopped blushing when Jake was walking to Sam, and was suddenly boiled to the brim, "Hey, Sam. Can I talk to you privately?" He eyed Danny angrily, Sam waved Danny, which he obeyed until he turned intangible and invisible.
,"What do you want, Jake?" Sam glared at him, "I have somewhere to be."
,"It's not gonna take that long." Jake touched Sam's hand, making Danny grit his teeth, "Sam, I was stupid to cheat on you with other girls, I'-"
,"Others? I only saw you cheat on me once." She looked at Jake with great anger and disappointment, "So, for the entire three months we were together, you cheated on me with various girls?...I'm disgusted, Jacob!" Walking away, Jake held her wrist and pulled her into his arms urging to kiss her, but didn't.
,"Sam, please, I was a complete idiot. But if you take me back, I promise to be faithful to and for only my Sammy." She jerked away from the sound of her pet name. He pushed her toward him, but she violently pushed him away. She wanted to cry for all the lies she had mistaken for the truth, but never bothered to.
,"Leave me alone, Jake. You've done enough damage to me...and Ray."
,"What have I ever done to her?"
,"You spoke of your own mother, knowing that hers passed away not long ago. You made her cry and caused more emotional damage to her!" Sam angrily looked at what she thought was her perfect boyfriend.
,"I had physical damage, and you're concern of emotional damage! You should be concern about me, not that nerdy, weird-o. I was actually glad when she collapsed on the cafeteria floor and was dying! Serves her right for what she did to me!" Jake yelled back to Sam, who was wide-eyed and shocked at what he said. I was actually glad when she collapsed on the cafeteria floor and was dying! Sam shook her head, Jake walked passed Sam as he walked out the doors, "I meant what I said Sam...Come with me, and leave your friends. Give me your answer on Friday."
Danny boiled with anger at Jake's words and actions, but looked at Sam who was looking down at the paper she picked up, in a blank expression. He walked toward Sam, and as he walk closer and closer to her, he realized that she was trembling, "Sam?...Sam?"
She looked up at Danny with her widen eyes, wet amethyst met with worried sapphires
,"Danny?" Danny was about to speak but to find no words coming out, instead his body moved, embracing Sam in his arms affectionately. She returned the embrace, crying on his shoulder, arms around his neck, and his on her waist. Danny blushed at his actions and the position he was in, but didn't hesitate to make the moment last.
He moved his hand to Sam's ebony hair, smelling the sweet scent of lilacs and vanilla. Sam wanted to stay like this forever, if they could, feeling his body's warmth against her own body. Both having to embrace their secret crush, made their blushing mild, until one of them were deciding to screw up the perfect moment.
Danny gently pushed Sam away; she had red eyes with tear-stained cheeks. He cursed himself for ruining the moment he had wished for in years. Sam understood and slowly left his arms, then turned her attention to the paper she held, "Sorry, Danny?...I'll see you at Ray's later on." He didn't move.
,"What do you have there?" He glanced at the paper.
,"Oh, nothing. Maybe a poem, but..." Sam read the words, "It sounds more like lyrics."
,"Probably for the musical...wanna see." He secretly urged to sing with her.
,"You mean sing?...I can't sing, Danny." He knew she was lying, having heard her sing about three times, and sang very beautifully. She blushed as he responded, "You never know until you try." Taking a breath, she read the paper with Danny.
(Sam)-We were strangers. Starting out on a journey. Never dreaming. What we'd have to go through. Now here we are. And I'm suddenly standing. At the beginning with you...
(Danny)-No one told me. I was going to find you. Unexpected. What you did to my heart. When I lost hope. You were there to remind me. This is the start...
(CHORUS, Both)-Life is a road. And I want to keep going. Love is a river. I wanna keep flowing. Life is a road. Now and forever. Wonderful journey...I'll be there. When the world stops turning. I'll be there. When the storm is through. In the end I wanna be standing. At the beginning with you...
(Sam)-We were strangers. On a crazy adventure...
(Danny)-Never dreaming. How our dreams would come true...
(Both)- Now here we stand. Unafraid of the future. At the beginning with you...(Chorus)...I knew there was somebody somewhere. Like me alone in the dark. Now I know my dream will live on. I've been waiting so long. Nothing's gonna tear us apart...(Chorus)...Life is a road and I wanna keep going. Love is a river I wanna keep going on...
(Sam)-Starting out on a journey
(Both)-Life is a road and I wanna going. Love is river I wanna keep flowing. In the end I wanna be standing. At the beginning with you...
Sam and Danny gazed at each other; then they heard someone clapping enthusiastically that echoed throughout the auditorium. Ms. Doris came down the isle, clapping still, "Brava! Brava! Miss Manson and Mister Fenton, both of you are like two lovebirds of music!"
,"WE'RE NOT LOVEBIRDS!!"
,"Lovebirds or not, auditioned or not, -both of you got the part!" She smiled, ignoring both of the teens shocked faces, "Meet Miss Shadows, when she returns to school. She'll give you the rest of the musical's song." Sam returned the lyrics to Ms. Doris, who placed it in her colorful bag, "Miss Shadows will give you singing lessons as you are in the musical." She walked out of the auditorium, but heard the argument.
,"IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT!" Both said together, "NO, IT'S YOUR FAULT!!"
Ms. Doris smiled 'This years musical is going to make history!'
