Daring to Dream
Hesitation Part Two
Thanks to Dangra, my only reviewer, where are the rest of you?
Sorry for the delayed update, I'm in a local production of Jesus Christ Superstar and we've just hit production week; plus I have exams two days after opening night
The two of them stood in the cold. Phantom and Sam, Sam was shivering, Phantom was wishing he had a coat or something to drape over her shoulders. "I'm going inside," Sam said after five minutes of looking anywhere but Phantom.
"I'd better be going to," Phantom said," I've got to meet Tuck… I mean Danny Fenton soon." Sam watched him suspiciously as he turned away.
"Truce?" He turned back, searching for something he couldn't see in her eyes.
"Truce."
The next day there was a knock at the door of Valerie's home, she opened it to find a very sheepish looking Danny Fenton. "Uh… is Sam in?" Sam ran out of her room and grabbed his hand.
"Come on." Valerie watched them leave open mouthed.
Sam led Danny to a small slope just out of the city, it was deserted. Danny was both mystified and confused, he kept forgetting what Phantom had said and what he had said.
"Uh, Sam… I've only met you three times." Sam scrunched her face up in concentration.
"Really? I was sure I'd seen you a lot more than that." Danny rubbed the back of his neck.
"Perhaps, we just, get along really, um, well." Sam shrugged.
They sat in silence for a while, "So, are we friends now?" Danny asked hesitantly. Sam thought for a moment.
"I guess we are." There was silence and after a while Sam asked, "What do friends… do?" Danny stared at her incredulously.
"You've had friends before."
"I've been living on the street for three years and Madison and I mostly kept ourselves alive and pranked our parents."
"True."
"Will you teach me?"
"It's not exactly something you can teach… "
"Please Danny, I'd really appreciate it." Danny turned to her and smiled.
"Danny!" Valerie jogged to catch up with him as Sam disappeared into the house.
"Hey Val, um, I'm kinda busy so I might just head home." He turned away quickly but she grabbed his wrist.
"Can I talk to you for a sec?" Danny turned to face her, avoiding her gaze at the same time.
"I guess."
"I know we haven't spoken for a while…"
"Try four years," Danny muttered under his breath.
"…But I've been thinking about what you said, about Phantom."
"I seem to recall you calling him a menace."
"It was four years ago Danny! Can't we just, start again, try again." Danny stared at her coldly.
"My feelings for you died a long time ago Val, the answer is no." He jogged away from her, transforming and flying as soon as she was out of sight.
Sorry it's short, I will be wrapping this up in three more chapters, REVIEW! Or I will send Box Lunch after you!
