Cupid's Arrow of Doom, the Finale

A Danny Phantom fanfiction by Dustin M. Dixon

Meanwhile, across town, Jazz and Tucker exited the Nasty Burger, both with big grins on their faces.

"Thanks for today, Tucker." She threw her arms around him and planted a kiss on his lips, which he gratefully returned. However, a feeling suddenly washed over the two of them, and their eyes shot open. As they realized what was currently transpired between them, they both screamed bloody murder as they separated.

"What the heck?" it was like waking from a dream for the 15 year old boy. "We… we were…"

"Yeah…" Tucker could see the same expression on Jazz's face. "We were doing that just now."

"But you… but I…" Tucker looked hopeful. "…We just went on a date. But…"

"Yeah…" she repeated. "I… I gotta go…"

"It wasn't…" Tucker was afraid to continue, but forced himself to regardless. "…It wasn't real… was it?"

"…I don't know." Jazz glanced away sadly. "I really don't… I need to think. I'll… talk to you later…"

"…Yeah…" Tucker looked down as Jazz walked away. He pulled out his PDA and glanced at the photo he had taken, a small smile appearing on his face as he continued to stare.

"Well, that's that then." Danny said as he and Sam exited the building.

"Yup…" she sighed. "You should probably go see if you can salvage your date with Valerie."

"Yeah…" Danny sighed.

"Hey… if she doesn't accept… I could go with you. You know, as a fellow dateless loser." Sam smiled.

"Thanks." Danny returned the smile as he walked off.

An hour later, Danny ran into Valerie as he entered the Nasty Burger.

"Hey Val!" he called out.

"Hey Danny." Valerie greeted sadly. "About tonight…" A pause followed, as she gazed at Danny. "…What time is that concert?"

"Actually…" Danny took a pause himself. "Sorry Val, but I'm gonna be taking a good friend of mine."

"Sam?" Valerie asked.

"Sam." Danny nodded with a smile.

"…Good for you." Valerie returned the smile as she walked off.

"Yeah… good for me." Danny laughed.

Later that night, Sam and Danny sat three rows from Dumpty Humpty on stage and they rocked out to the loud music.

"I CAN'T BELIEVE VALERIE SAID NO TO THIS!" Sam shouted.

"SHE DIDN'T! I TOLD HER I WAS TAKING YOU!" Danny grinned. Sam looked stunned as she glanced over at her best friend. "THANKS FOR BEING THERE FOR ME TODAY, SAM!"

"I'M YOUR FRIEND! I'LL ALWAYS BE THERE FOR YOU, DANNY!" Sam winked over at him. The two shared a smile, and high above them, Cupid flew overhead, masked by fireworks, as the two teens joined hands…
