Hello my friends, I'm sure it's a shock to see a chapter up at last for this fic! I have had terrible writers block with this one and I have been focusing on my other projects as well, and so much has happened in my life as we've moved from 2018 to 2019.

But I'm here and hopefully got something going with this fic! I really need to finish what I start and if I don't finish a fic or am unable to, maybe I should cancel it altogether!

Anyway, that's enough of me rambling, hope you enjoy this long overdue chapter!

Chapter Ten

Unaware

Back in Amity Park, Danny and Sam were still sleeping naked in each others arms in their private caravan.

After such a passionate session it seemed nothing that went n during the festivties could disturb the lovers.

As he lay there on his back, Sam resting on his chest, Danny's mind first peaceful after a strong love making with his wife, started to stir.

A few booming sounds filled his ears then then sounds of screams, then came a loud laughter.

Danny's head shuffled as his mind was starting to fill with nightmares and sweat formed on his forehead.

"Danny?"

Sam slowly awoke as she felt her husband move under her and she thought he had awakened, that was until she saw his pained expression and his chest was heaving up and down.

"Danny?" she sat up from his chest and ran a hand along his cheek yet he didn't respond to her.

"Danny," feeling worried for her husband she began to tap the side of his face hoping to wake him yet her touch didn't rouse him from the horror within his mind...

Danny stood in the dark, he looked around trying to determine where he was, yet he wasn't sure.

Was he in the Ghost Zone, or somewhere else?

He soon heard that laughter again and he whirled around trying to find out where it was.

"You thought you were rid of me?"

Danny's eyes narrowed.

"Where are you?" he asked "Show yourself!"

"You thought you could forget me? Forget I ever existed? Nothing stays buried forever!"

Danny swallowed hard as he looked around again.

"You're not real!" he said "You're nothing but a memory! And I buried you!"

"Did you now?" the voice came again, "Then why am I here?"

Danny looked behind him and he jumped back in horror looking into the face of Dan Phantom!

"Boo!" Dan Phantom growled before stepping towards Danny who crawled backwards to get away then jumped up onto his feet before getting into a fighting stance.

"Goin' Ghost!" he shouted as he transformed into his Ghost Form.

Dan Phantom rolled his eyes as Danny's green eyes glowed and he charged up his hands.

"Oh please!" the evil ghost man drawled "You think you have a chance against me?"

"I can still take you!" Danny growled "I did it before and I can do it again! And anyway, you're nothing but a dream! And this dream cannot hurt me!"

Dan Phantom stepped towards Danny and flexed his fingers.

"You think I'm just a dream?" he asked, his long tongue flicking out and his sharp teeth appeared behind his lips.

Danny glared and kept his hands up, still charging more of his ghost energy.

"Stay back!" he commanded "Stay the fuck back!"

"Or what?" Dan asked, his red eyes flashing "You think you can stop me? You think you can protect the ones you love? Hmm?"

"I'd lay down my life!" Danny spat "I'd lay down my life for my city! For my family! For everything I hold dear! You won't win this!"

"Says you hmm?" Dan smirked "Well then, what's this?"

Danny raised an eyebrow in confusion and he soon saw the darkness around him fade and he saw he was surrounded by a destroyed city and smoke raising from the ground.

"What the?" he asked in confusion.

"Welcome to Amity Park." Dan Phantom hissed "A nice place to live, at least it was, until the so-called hero failed to protect it!"

"No! No! No way!" Danny looked around then flew upwards to get a better look and he saw the whole city was in ruins.

"No!" he turned to glare at Dan "What did you do?"

"What did I do?" Dan asked in mock surprise "What didn't you do?"

Danny stared at the mess of what was his home and swallowed the lump forming in his throat.

"You failed to protect your home, and thus you failed to protect your loved ones! What must they think of you now? If they were still here that is!"

Dan then let out a loud laugh and smirked at Danny who felt tears forming in his eyes.

"No!" Danny shook his head "No! No!" his voice got louder as he repeated himself over and over then looked up at Dan who was charging his hands ready to blast ghost energy at him.

At the same time, Danny charged up his own hands and thrust his hands forward at Dan Phantom who threw his own ghost energy at him and the charges exploded on impact knocking them both backwards...

Gasping for breath, Danny opened his eyes with a start and he looked up into the face of Sam who was looking down at him concerned.

"Danny." she said stroking his hear out of his wet face, "You, you were having another nightmare?"

Danny took a few deep breaths, he was still sweating like made and was breathing heavily.

"Sam..." he said "Oh man...this is the second one now..."

"What do you mean?" Sam asked raising an eyebrow.

Danny sat up and lowered his head.

"Hun." he said "I...I didn't want you to worry but...I had a dream the night before, at first I put it down to stress and worry because of the Phantom Planet Festivities, but..."

"What?" asked Sam growing even more concerned "What is it?"

"I saw him." Danny forced out "I saw Dan Phantom!"

Sam gasped in horror.

"Your future self?" she asked "But, he's imprisoned, locked away forever in Clockwork's lair in the Ghost Zone, there's no way he could get out of that Thermos."

Danny nodded.

"He is yes, but...but why did I dream of him? I thought I had forgotten him, its been over ten years, and I thought I had pushed him under the carpet."

Danny then felt Sam's arms around him.

"Sometimes, some thoughts still linger." she said "It can happen."

Danny looked across to his wife.

"You think?" he asked.

Sam nodded.

"If something bad was to happen, I'm sure Clockwork would have let us know, even though he knows he's not allowed to speak of the future."

"But if he thought it would mean the end of our world, and that of the Ghost Zone, he would let us know." Danny said "After Phantom Planet, he promised me that if such a thing would be possible, he would inform me right away."

"Well you saw him not long ago." Sam said resting her head on her husband's shoulder, "And he had nothing to say except to wish us luck for today."

Danny nodded against her head.

"That's true." he said with a smile, he was then about to speak again when he phone vibrated making them both jump and he saw that the alarm he had set had gone off.

Danny instantly turned it off and looked back at Sam, both slightly relieved and disappointed, relieved he was distracted but disappointed he couldn't stay and enjoy more private time with his wife.

"We should head back." he said with a sigh "Before we're missed."

Sam nodded in agreement, yet she still had concern over her face as she looked for her clothes.

"When was the last time you dreamt of Dan Phantom?" she asked retrieving her dress "Apart from the other night?"

Danny shrugged.

"I don't remember babe." he said "I've never had as many nasty nightmares regarding him, though I have had nightmares about other things, and other ghosts we've fought, I remember having a few where we failed in saving Amity Park and other places from dangerous Ghosts, even though we were successful."

Sam was in the middle of doing up her dress as Danny finished that sentence.

"You have nothing to fear Danny." she said "Myself, your family, Tucker and Valerie are here for you, and whatever life throws at us, or if any Ghostly Evil comes to Amity Park, we're always ready! We've never failed before, and we won't fail now!"

"I suppose you're right Sam." Danny chuckled as he pulled his shirt on and buttoned it up.

"Of course I am!" Sam teased "I'm your wife!"

Danny stood up and sauntered over before goosing his wife cheekily making her squeal and almost stumble but Danny caught her and gave her a kiss.

"I'm lucky to have you." he said.

"I think I'm the lucky one!" Sam retorted stroking his cheek.

As the couple left their caravan, Danny looked around before turning Ghost and scooping Sam into his arms and turning invisible.

"I wonder where Tucker and Valerie are?" he asked as he lifted himself and Sam into the air.

"No Idea." Sam replied "But I'm sure they're around somewhere."

"Can't miss them since they're the VIPs here." said Danny as he looked down at the huge crowds in the park.

Back in the Ghost Zone, Dan Phantom was watching the many screens in Clockwork's Domain, seeing how Sam and Danny were unaware of what had happened.

He had watched the two of them at the Festivities of 'Phantom Planet' and rolled his eyes at how the crowds had worshipped Danny as if he was some sort of God, which in a way he was, after his role in saving the world.

He also had watched Sam and Danny making love in their caravan and it both sickened and aroused him at the same time.

"As long as they both stay unaware, things should be just fine." he said softly "Until I decide what my next move will be, and after I've had a little fun." he hissed in pleasure as he turned to look behind him...

So, Danny's had yet another nightmare about Dan Phantom, yet he's still got no idea what's going on in the Ghost Zone! And Dan Phantom has been spying on him and Sam from Clockwork's domain!

I think a lot of you can guess who Dan's looking at behind him!

I know this chapter was a little short but hopefully the next one will be a little longer and hopefully more sinister!
