"I hate ghost hunting." Danny spat. "I hate it."
Said half ghost was sporting a ripped hazmat suit that had unusual maroon and forest green colors seeping into it, thanks to Danny's blood slash ectoplasm wounds. He had a light black eye. Not a huge black eye where his eye was swollen shut, it just looked like a big black bruise above his cheekbone. And to top it off, they hadn't even caught the ghost yet. It had flown away before Danny had the chance to grab the Fenton Thermos from Tucker, so now they had to go after it.
Sam chuckled at Danny's pessimism. "So dramatic," She teased, poking his arm. He gave her a mock-hurt look and covered his arm with his other hand. She stuck her tongue out at him. Tucker rolled his eyes. "Mature, Sam."
"Ugh." Danny face-palmed and breathed deeply. "I just hate it. There's no point. I patrol, I catch, I throw back, then they come back and it happens all over again. It's a vicious circle!"
"Ooh, like Dane Cook's-"
"No." Danny interrupted Tucker with a glare. "Nothing like that."
Sam chuckled and slung an arm around Danny's abused shoulders. "What I think you need is drive." Danny gave her a confused look. "I need a car?" Sam shook her head. "No, a drive. Like, a reason or something someone gives you for everything you do. Like, saving humanity is a drive."
Danny gave her a bemused look. "From my popularity ratings, humanity doesn't want to be saved."
Sam shrugged. "Well, it could be something material, too. Like if I gave Tucker a cookie for every vegetable he eats. That's drive, because he wouldn't do it willingly if he didn't get something in return."
"Hold on." Tucker shook his head. "Just what kind of cookies? I don't eat veggies for just any old cookies."
Sam rolled her eyes. "It doesn't matter. It's just an example."
"But what kind of drive could I use?" Danny asked, eyebrows furrowed. He racked his brain for ideas but came up with nothing.
"Ooh, ooh, I know!" Tucker shouted, jumping up and down. Sam and Danny looked at him strangely. "Yes, Tucker?"
"For every ghost you catch, Sam will kiss you!" Tucker laughed at his brilliance as Sam blushed red.
"Tucker-" She began dangerously.
"In that case, let's catch some ghosts!" Danny said eagerly, an impish smile on his face, and then he flew off calling, "Hey ghosties, I'm ready to fight!"
Sam blinked and her mouth was agape. She turned to Tucker and he smirked. "Since you're his drive, you've gotta hold up your end of the bargain." He said casually, but with a huge smile. Sam blinked and realized what happened. She looked at the disappearing Danny with wide eyes, and then back at Tucker. Then with a grin, she spoke. "No problem."

Hey everybody! I was hoping some of you would have an idea for the drabble Rainbow. I'm currently out of ideas and I need to finish it. So if you have a good idea and want to suggest it to me, review with your idea or PM me. I'll make sure to credit you if I use it. Thank you!
