I freacking love you guys :-) . Have I ever said it before? You guys made me feel 100% better after that last post. YAY! I'm already working on the next chapter, so that I'll pay for the late updates.

Sam took in a deep breath, and then let it out. Right now, she needed to calm down. Ok, sure, she was on Fenton's work right now, and she was about to go into the portal… see? No reason to be scared! Danny and Sam had agreed to just let Sam come alone.

Well, other than all of those ghost, and that she was going ALONE, no back up… Sam shook her head. No, she had to do this! For Danny. Taking in a deep breath, Sam went into Specter Speeder and opened the ghost zone.

As Sam traveled inside the ghost zone, she couldn't help but think about what Danny and her had talked about in her room last night.

"So it's settled?" Sam asked as she lay down next to Danny. He looked at her and smiled.
"Yea, if Desiree tried to help me, she'll defiantly help you. Just go into the ghost zone and look for her. Take some equipment, though. I don't want anything bad to happen to you."

Sam smiled. She wouldn't need anything. Duh! She was going on the Specter Speeder, Tucker had made it ghost prove two years ago. Taking in a nervous breath, Sam went inside the Specter Speeder. She put on her seat belt. After that, she go out her iPod and put on her ear-phones.

How to Save a Life by the Fray? No, it reminded her of her breakup with Danny. Even if the breakup was fake, it still mad her feel horrible.
Haunted by Kelly Clarkson? No, she had just sung it this afternoon.
Addicted by Stevie Hoag? Yea, it reminded her of Danny and her.

Feeling ready and calmed, Sam opened the Ghost Zone and went inside.

Sam looked around worriedly. It was quiet inside the ghost zone…suspiciously quiet. Not a sign off a single ghost, not a single sign of life or death. Maybe she should turn around…

Do you still think of me like I think about you
Do u still dream of me cos I can't sleep without you
Tell me if time should make a change
Then why do I feel the same
Your love has got me addicted

Sam listened to the lyrics. No, she wasn't going to turn around. She was doing this for Danny, she wasn't about to abandon him. She couldn't torture him by leaving him on the dirty hands of Paulina. Feeling more determined than ever, Sam made the Specter Speeder go faster.

The more Sam looked around the ghost zone, the less she found. She started to get more nervous. There were no ghost either they were all hiding, or they were all going to attack her. Poop, this was more complicated than last time.

Before Sam could think of anything else, the Specter Speeder was hit by a blast. She knew it! They were all going to attack her! She looked out the window to see Skulker holding up a gun.
"I know you're there, ghost child! Come on, show your face!" he yelled.

Sam rolled her eyes. After all these years, he was still after Danny. Ugh, talk about obsession.
"Don't worry, Skulker. It's Sam." She said and put herself where she was visible. Skulker, instead of looking annoyed, looked confused.

"Sam? What are you doing here?" he asked her, lowering his weapon. There had been this incident, and… well, Skulker and Sam weren't that much of enemies right now. Sam had saved him for Paulina annoying him to death. She had been giving him a lecture about why she was perfect and perfect people deserved people like Danny and how he was ruining that and blah blah blah! All Skulker knew was that Sam had saved his ear-drums.

"Well, I would like to ask you the same. Where is everybody? Could you please take me to Desiree?" Sam asked him. Skulker looked at her, surprised.
"Oh, you haven't heard, child?" he asked her. Sam narrowed her eyes a little.
"What?" she asked him.

Skulker looked at her with a kind of sad expression.
"Well, Desiree has been missing for a year."

RAS-RAS-RAS-RAS-RAS-RAS-RAS-RAS-RAS-RAS-RAS-RAS-RAS-RAS-RAS-RAS-RAS-RAS-RAS-RAS-RAS

"So, you mean to tell me, Desiree has been missing for a year?" Sam asked Clockwork. He looked at her and nodded.
"Bu-but why?" she asked, freacking out. If Desiree wasn't there to give her answers, who was?

"Don't fear, child. I'll help you, but you would own me a favor. Alright?" he asked her. Sam looked at him and nodded, dead serious.
"Well, let's start off in the beginning. Tell me why you came into the ghost zone." Clockwork told Sam, changing into a little kid.

Sam rolled her eyes and said,
"Don't you already know that?" she asked him, a little irritated. Clockwork looked at her and smiled.
"Yes, I just want to hear it from you." He said. Sam sighed.

"Well, I came here to get answers. If singing doesn't break Danny's spell, then what will?" she asked, feeling helpless.
"Well, what's the most usual way to break a spell?" Clockwork asked her.

Sam thought about it for a minute before she found the answer.
"With a kiss. But…I've already kissed Danny." She said, confused. Clockwork smiled and said,
"Maybe because you've been kissing the wrong person. The one who started it is the payer."

He riddled. Sam groaned.
"It's times like these that I hate your riddles, Clockwork." She said, more irritated that before. Clockwork changed back to an old man, unaffected by Sam' comment.

Sam groaned, again. She had no other choice than to think about the riddle. You've been kissing the wrong person. Ok, so, she took the first part away from the first sentence and she got the first part. She's been kissing the wrong person. The one who started it is the player.

Finally getting, Sam's face showed horror.
"Oh, oh god no! Please don't tell me I have to kiss Paulina!" she said, horrified. Clockwork smiled t her and turned into an adult.

"No, she wasn't the one who started it. The person who started it gave her the answer." He said, confusing Sam a little more.
"If Paulina didn't start it, then who did?" she whispered.

Sam looked up at Clockwork for help, but he only smiled.
"It's someone that you haven't known for long. I think you know the answer, though." He said, turning back to a little kid.

"But I haven't met someone recently-" realization crazed into Sam. Brian…
"He-he came up with this?" she asked Clockwork, barely getting the words out. She knew something was wrong with Brian, but she would have never imagined this.

"I am afraid that's not the worst part. Take a look." Clockwork said and handed Sam a mirror. Sam carefully took it and gasped at what she saw. It was Brian, but he looked younger.
"Brian was always a bratty, spoiled, brat." Clockwork said, taking Sam by surprise.

She looked back at the mirror to see the picture change.
Seventeen year old Brian walked through a castle, giving orders and shouting at whoever didn't bow down in front of him.

The mirror turned black, and Sam looked back up at Clockwork.
"When, when was this? People don't live in castles anymore." She asked him. Clockwork changed into an old man before answering her question.

"It happened about two-hundred years ago." He said with a shrug. Sam felt her heart freeze. Two-hundred years ago? Nobody could live that long. Then that meant…
"Brian is a ghost." Sam whispered. Clockwork looked at her and smiled.

"You catch on fast." He said, but Sam wasn't listening. How could she not have known? It had been so obvious! The answer for bringing Danny back had been in front of her all this time, she had just been too clueless to see it.

"How did you get into my house? And how do you even know that I live here?" she asked him, feeling kind of scared. Brian could have just went into her house, ghost do turn intangible.

"How do you know I'm an ultra recyclo vegetarian?" she asked him, more freaked out now. Sam had never, ever, told him where she lived, or what she ate, this was getting creepier every moment! Brian could have turned invisible and stalked her, isn't that possible?

"Oh my goss, Brian! Why are you freezing cold?!" Sam asked him, well, yelled at him. Ghosts are affected by emotion. If a ghost gets angry, the temperature drops.

Brian's eyes flashed a red for a second, but, that didn't happen, did it? Was Sam imagining, or did his eyes flash red? His eyes turned freacking red, how could she have been so stupid?! Ii wasn't her mind playing tricks on her, it was five for goodness shakes! The sun wasn't that bright!

"But, how did he even know about me?" Sam asked Clockwork.
"Well, who hasn't heard the rumors about Danny Phantoms girlfriend? And also the richest person on Amity Park?" Clockwork asked. Sam shrugged. Good point.

"As I have mentioned, Brian was a spoiled brat. Always wanting what was best. So he told Paulina his plan, and they both agreed. Paulina would have Danny, and Brian would have you." Clockwork explained.

"Yea, no wonder. T was suspicious that Paulina had come up with a plan like that, she couldn't have….she's got too many lose screws." Sam said with another shrug. Clockwork smiled and turned into an old man.
"So, if that's the case, I know what I have to do to get Danny back. I kiss Brian and-"
"Nope." Clockwork interrupted. Sam looked at him with a confused expression.
"What do you mean?" she asked him. Clockwork sighed.

"You have to kiss Brian while Danny is temporary back. It won't work if you don't." Clockwork said. Sam raised an eyebrow, but didn't ask. He was the ghost of time. Why should she doubt him?
"Ok, got it. I kiss Brian when Danny is temporary back. But what happened to Desiree?" Sam asked.

Clockwork looked at her with a smile.
"I think you know the answer to that." He told her. Sam groaned.
"Brian has her, huh?" she asked, totally pissed. Clockwork nodded.

Confused about why Brian has Desiree? Well, not wanting to take any chances, Brian took Desiree in order for if Sam somehow found out the truth, Desiree wouldn't be able to help her. Of course, he had forgotten about Clockwork.

"So, I know how to break the spell, and where Desiree is. What about the other ghosts? Where are they?" Sam asked. Clockwork looked at her with a blank expression. Before he could answer, Sam knew the answer.

"Brian, huh?" she asked. Clockwork looked at her and smiled. He nodded as Sam let out a groan.
"Of course, Brian is the center of all problems." Sam said and let out a sigh. And he had looked so nice at first…

"The other ghosts are scared of him. He was able to beat the most powerful ones, but there's some ghost he wasn't able to beat. Like Frostbite. Brian is banned from places like that, if he is seen there, he will be destroyed." Clockwork explained.

"Clockwork?" Sam asked.
"I am helping you because I see the future if I don't." he explained before she could even ask.
"So, what is your plan now, child?" he asked her.

Sam smiled and said,
"I think you already know that."
