Maybe the accident damaged his vocal cords or somthing...I dunno :l if you have any ideas i would be happy to hear them :)'

On with chapter 10. I don't own Danny Phantom.

When Sam finally made it home, she dropped her jacket onto the coat hanger and made her way to the kitchen. It was there that she noticed a note stuck to the front of the refrigerator. She walked over and pulled the small piece of paper from its place under the magnet.

Dear Samantha

Your mother and I are away on a business trip. We won't be back for two weeks. We apologise for the short notice and for not discussing it with you. Take care of the house why we are gone.

Yours

Mom & Dad

Sam scoffed at the idea of her parents actually discussing anything with her before she proceeded to rip up the note and drop it in the trash, a small triumphant smile on her face. She quickly grabbed a drink of water then made her way upstairs to her room. She continued sipping her water as she opened the door, however, the sight that greeted her caused her to do a spit-take and nearly fall over in surprise.

Danny was sitting on her bed, propped up against the headboard, contently flipping through a book. He smiled down at the reading material, his eyes glazed over, completely lost within the story.

Sam just stood in her door way and continue to stare at him sitting there, as if it was completely normal, before shaking her head and smiling.

"You know, I wasn't really expecting you to take up the offer." The thing that happened next, Sam found quite comical. Danny jumped, nearly throwing the book over his head; his once glazed eyes becoming clear and widening to the size of dinner plates. His hand flew up to grasp his chest and he raised his head to meet Sam's gaze. Meanwhile Sam simply stood there, a smug smile plastered on her face, before she began to laugh. "I guess this makes us even huh?" she managed through her giggles, referring to earlier that morning. Danny, who had gotten over his moment of heart failure, began to silently laugh along with her. Sam felt a strange disappointment at this, wondering what his laugh would sound like; what voice matched with that face of his.

Once the laughter had died down Sam made her way over to the bed, dumping her backpack carelessly on the floor, and looked at the books that Danny had been reading.

"Hmm, Edward Gory? Not bad." She commented casually as the ghost boy nodded in agreement. Neither one of them knew what to say next, so they continued to sit in silence until Sam finally decided to break it. "So…today was the last day of the school term. I now have two weeks free, plus my parents are away so I guess it's just you and me." Sam looked up to Danny, but he just continued to stare at her, silently asking her to continue; so she did. "Anyhow…I was thinking we could use this time to get to know each other…you know…bonding time or something?" Danny attempted to hide the small blush that crept onto his cheeks at that last part, however, Sam still noticed and couldn't help but giggle. She climbed onto the bed and sat crossed legged across from him. In turn, Danny shifted his position so that he was mirroring her. "Come on Casper, I've got an idea." And with that the Goth and the Ghost proceeded into the night, taking turns asking each other question after question (Danny writing his in a notepad).

Another short chapter -.- sorry
