Masked
Summary: Someone unexpected shows up at the masquerade dance.
Pairing: Danny x Sam
Sam hated masquerade dances. She hated that everyone wore masks and she couldn't identify each person. Paulina, being the queen of the school, got her way once again. The dance committee voted, and Paulina's idea won unanimously. Sam wasn't even going to bother coming to the dance, but Tucker convinced her to come despite not having a date.
Feeling a tap on her shoulder, Sam spun around. "May I have this dance?" asked the man, bowing to her. Sam blushed, taking his hand. Even with the black mask on, Sam knew exactly who the man was. The glowing green eyes and snow white hair were a dead giveaway.
"I didn't think you would come," Sam whispered as they walked onto the dance floor.
"I didn't even know about the dance until I talked to Tucker." Danny ignored the looks they received from their classmates.
"Are you back for good?" Sam asked in a hopeful tone.
"For a little while." Danny sighed. "I still have a lot of work to do in the Ghost Zone."
"Oh." Sam frowned in disappointment. "How much longer will you be in the Ghost Zone?"
"Honestly, I have no idea." Danny held Sam closer as they danced. "All these debates are giving me a headache. There is no way to create a set of laws for them to follow because we can't get all the ghosts to agree to everything. I almost think we should just go back to fighting. At least that was easy."
"So when are you going back?" Sam wished Danny didn't have to go. She missed him over the past year, and she hated having to act like she had no idea where he was when Maddie and Jack went around searching for him.
"I thought I would stay a few days, spend some time with my friends," Danny replied. "Spend a lot of time with just you and me." He raised a hand and cupped Sam's bright red cheek. They both leaned in, and their lips met in a gentle kiss as the world around them seemed to melt away.
