Chapter #10 Home Again and Chat Between Friends

"...and in other news: the teens who mysteriously disappeared a few days ago has suddenlly returned home last night with no memory of what happened..."

Selene turned off the T.V. and stood up. It was a long night last night and a long day. First she and her boyfriend were fighting a ghost who possessed an innocent teenager then having to get the missing teens back to their homes and then going to Casper High in the morning to see the teens bragging about what they believed happened. Luckly no one but Tucker, Sam and her godfather knew what really happened. She went upstairs to her room and laid down on the bed, staring at the ceiling.

"What a day." she thought.

"Sam, can I talk to you?"

Selene's eyes shot opened she heard Danny's voice outside. She got up and went to the window to see Danny and Sam sitting on the steps outside FentonWorks. Selene watch them with interest. Is he finally going to tell Sam what he told her back in the clock tower?

"Sure, what is it?" Sam asked.

""Sam, uh...do you have a problem with me dating Selene?"

Sam raise an eyebrow.

"What are you talking about?"

"I have this new power...ability or something...that lets me feel the same emotions someone else has."

"You have empathy?"

"Yeah, I guess. Every since I asked Selene to be my girlfriend, I've been having headaches for days. I thought it was nothing. Until I talked to Selene back at the clock tower yesterday."

"What she say?"

"She thinks it's because I've been sensing your anger and jealousy to Selene."

"Me? Jealous? Yeah right. It's true I was mad when you told us. But I got over it, Danny. I just...feel a little left out. Now that you and Tucker have girlfriends I feel like the third wheel."

"You're not a third wheel. And you'll find someone."

Silence hung in the air as Sam and Danny looked at each other and grinned.

"Thanks Danny." Sam said, feeling better. "I better get going. The dance starts in three hours."

"Ok, see you there."

Sam got up and walked down the street. As Danny got up and turned around, Selene quickly backed away from the window so her boyfriend wouldn't know that she was listening to the conversation. She heard a door open and closed and footsteps in the hall. Selene quickly pulled a book from her bag and opened it just as there was a knock at the door.

"Come in." Selene said.

The door opened and Danny walked in.

"Hey, Selene." he said. "What's up?"

"Nothing much." Selene answered as she placed her book down. "What about you?"

"Nothing much either." he said. "Can you help me with my project?"

"Sure."

Selene got up and followed Danny out of the room. She smiled a little as she and Danny walked down the hall. She was glad Danny talked things out with Sam. Now the darkness in Sam's heart is gone for good.

The End
