xLa Reyna Phantasmax, *throws bullet proof jacket out of helicopter* Good luck, here is your update! Thanks to everyone who read the story. One more chapter left and then the end.

"Sam, what is he talking about?" Danny finally inquired moments later as Sam fought to remove the glowing wire. She stopped what she was doing to shoot him a look that he couldn't see obviously. "I know that you are giving me the look, but I could care less about that."

"Well, I don't know what blondie in there is talking about," she stated as she began to work on the tight wires that held her friend. "He does spout crazy things like asking other males to dates." He heard her chuckle now as she finally managed to release him from the wires just so the male in the female's body could turn to him.

"Blondie seems to think that you have some feelings-" She cut him off with a chuckle. "What is so funny?"

"Not me. He said we have unresolved feelings. He has been bugging me about this for a while now and just won't let it go no matter how much I tell him that he is just fishing." She smiled in the dark, the smile sad and somehow Danny could feel it even without seeing the smile. "At that time he asks me out again." Danny fell over.

"Seriously?"

"Yeah, seems he's had a thing for me since high school. Hard to believe, but he and I have just gotten along since right after Casper."

"How the hell did you reconnect with him?" A chuckle sounded in the dark.

"Funny thing that," she said. "It appears that Dash has a very dark not-so-violent side. Personally I like a little violence, but I ran into him at the Gothic Bookstore where I read, well more in the past sense of the word, my poems. He has some talent and some very dark secrets." She giggled. "Well, so dark thoughts. Not suicidal " she clarified. She had heard him speak and had been quite shocked, but he wasn't as twisted as her, now there were some thoughts that Danny didn't need to know.

"So, Dash is just your type then," Danny stated.

"Ah, you would think so, but contrary to belief not all Goths are attracted to darkness per say. I like someone who is not so much darkness personified, but does have a darkness about him."

"Sam, is he right?"

"No, he is not right about whatever he has concocted in that head of his."

"He told me things about how Paulina only went out with me to get to you. She thought that we were dating."

"Well, that might be a little true," the Goth confessed. "I corrected that though."

"That's why she dumped me. What about the necklace?"

"What about it?"

"Did she put that on you?"

"Yeah, but it was fun taking her for a little fright. Scared the shit out of her. Of course didn't like having to fight you and that comment was really uncalled for by the way," she continued.

"You heard that? I thought you didn't remember what happened?"

"Takes a while for the memories to surface, but yeah I didn't at that time." Danny leaned back his feet brushing hers as his mind thought about back to that day and the things that had happened. What other things had happened that he didn't know about? "Don't worry about it," she said, her eyes searching for him. "The past is past and she just did what she did because she was offended at what I said. I don't care about shallow peoples thoughts and actions and you shouldn't either."

"What about a certain jock telling me that you loved me and everyone could see it?" Silence answered him. "Sam?"

"I wish he would just drop those ideas of his down a toilet and flush them. He has no idea about what he is talking about!" she hissed. "I love you.. as my friend just like you love me like a friend." Danny opened his mouth only to shut it as Sam went on. "I moved away didn't I? You have a girlfriend that you have had for more years then I can remember! If you loved me more than a friend then you wouldn't be with her and if I loved you more than a friend why would I move away? See! His nonsense is exactly that! Nonsense!"

"Your diary says otherwise!" a voice stated. The occupants turned toward the door. "You have two hours Sam and as much as I don't want you hurt I think that Danny feels stronger than I do."

"You are such a dick!" the Goth screamed out. "What the fuck are you doing in my diary!?"

"I am just kidding Sam," came the reply. "I didn't even know you had one of those." Sam sat back as her cheeks grew warm and Danny turned to her, his eyes wide. It was true?

"Sam?"

Valerie ran down the hallway, her eyes flashing. This was where he was! It took her long enough to find him after that note he had left her. He had promised he was going to be back, but that wasn't what she had wanted because she had known where he had gone and she was pissed. Stopping at the door that the machine in her hands indicated she slammed her fist down on the door until someone called from inside to hold their horses.

"Get this fucking door open!" she screamed and then fell silent when the door opened to reveal Dash. "What the fuck?"

"Ah, so you don't like to leave him alone for even a minute, do you?" The woman before him reared back and socked him the mouth. It didn't faze him as he grabbed her wrist as she pulled back and yanked her into his face. "I will hit back so I suggest that you don't do that again," he warned. Valerie hissed at him as she yanked on her captured wrist.

"I don't know what you are doing here, Baxter, but I am looking for my boyfriend and I aim to get him! Let me by!" The blond shook his head.

"You need to let him chose between the one he has and the one he really wants." That stopped her for like two seconds and then she was raging.

"He's with her?!" Now she was really fighting, her claws coming out as she fought her captor which made the pair fall with a crash onto the ground. Luckily for Dash Valerie was knocked out as her head slammed into the carpet. She was okay, just knocked out for the moment. Grinning he took this time to grab another fishing wire that Sam had hidden in her closet and wrapping it around the female laid her on the couch before crashing on the ground.

"Whoever said match making was easy never had to deal with three damn ghost hunters."

"Why didn't you say anything?" Silence greeted him as Sam moved back from him, well as far as she could in the small closet. "Sam, how long have you felt this way?"

"Don't really want to discuss this," she said. "He tricked me."

"Sam," Danny said as he moved toward her, his scent hitting her nose and making her heart hurt. Her hand flew to his chest which probably wasn't a good thing for either person, but she shoved as his heart beat under her finger tips.

"Please," she whispered, the sound a plea, but Danny couldn't tell as his mind went blank and his eyes flashed green at the sound of her whispered plea and he moved closer toward her, his lips descending onto her own as she sat there in shock, her breathing slowed as her mind tried to process what was going on and before he could kiss her she pushed him back. "This isn't right," she said. "I feel what I feel, but Danny it wouldn't be right of me to even touch you when you have a girlfriend. I admit my feelings so can we just change back? I want out of this belt and out of this small space." Now she was begging, her tone sad as she moved toward the door. Closing her eyes as he did Danny took her hand and although she would have pulled it away she didn't.

"What is going on with your life now?" they both said as both blacked out.
