Sam stared at the door, through which Maddie had just disappeared. Sam braced herself against the wall, she just needed a few moments. She had seen Maddie Fenton in a new light today, and that light casted a very dark shadow indeed.

Sam had thought, that out of all the people in the world, Danny's mom would be the most accepting of him. Mad, maybe, that Danny didn't tell her before, but, the one who would jump out of her seat to hug her little boy, holding him close. To her, Maddie had always been the one who would stop Jack from going to get the ecto-weapons. She would be the one who would stop Jack from pumping Danny on end for information once he accepted the truth. She would instantly be the newest member of team Phantom.

The new Maddie, however, she was the one to go get the ecto-weapons. Instead of going to hug him, she would go to kill him. Instead of holding him close, she would push him over the cliff. She didn't even seem to care about all the information that Danny could give them on their life's work, she just wanted him gone. She wanted to take down team Phantom, as to her, Phantom could never be her little boy, just someone, any enemy, to be despised.

Sam stood, it was all so confusing, the maternal Maddie had suddenly become worse than a murderer in her violet eyes, because Maddie wanted to do the one thing a mother never should: kill her own child. Sam left the white room, and went Danny's. He was so weak, but she had figured out how to transfer energy to him, she had been doing that the whole time he had been asleep. There was a plate of food resting on a table beside him.

"You're going to have to eat if you're going to be giving me energy." Danny motioned to the plate.

"I know." Sam settled in beside him and began to eat the veggies and fruit she had been given. Danny rested his head on her shoulder, and he could sense something was wrong.

"What is it?" He asked after awhile, breaking the companionable silence. Sam swallowed. She knew that he had a right to know, but on the other hand, she didn't want to upset him, especially if he was planning on leaving the Ghost Zone and destroying Vlad today. "Please tell me. If it's about me, I promise not to over-react." Sam gazed into his endless blue eyes. Sam looked at him, trusting him to stay true to his word. She carefully set her plate to the side and snuggled closer to him.

"It's about your mom." She instantly felt Danny tense beneath her. He had been worrying ever since he reaction to who he really was.

"What happened?" He gasped, wrapping an arm around Sam's pencil thin body.

"You need to be really careful around her." Sam told him, trying not to reveal too much.

"Why not?" Danny pushed. Sam sat up beside him.

"Promise me you won't get too angry. Promise me that you will not go after her and talk to her." Danny looked a little mad about it, but he agreed. "Danny, she . . . well, she wants to kill you."

Danny closed his eyes slowly, in an attempt to keep him from crying. It worked and he took deep breaths to calm himself. Sam just sat on the bed, unsure of how to comfort him. Danny wasn't sure how to feel. It felt that his last hope had been squashed, and he knew, that despite his mom's reaction when he'd told her, he'd hoped that when she'd had some time alone that she'd realize that he was still Danny Fenton, there was just more to him now.

It wasn't until Sam wrapped her arms around him did he realize he was crying. He hugged her back and cried on his shoulder, just like his mom had, not even an hour ago. He cried until it would hurt to cry anymore.

"Sorry," He croaked, looking at her soaked clothing.

"You've got nothing to be sorry for." Sam sighed, brushing a piece of hair from his eyes. She took his hand and began to feed him energy, she knew that it probably wasn't the best time to make him hyper or whatever this would do to him, but Danny wouldn't change his plans, and she couldn't let him go as he was, not that he'd make it two steps out the door before he fainted he was so weak.

The energy flooded through Danny like hot chocolate on a cold winter's day. He felt revitalized, more than he had in a long time. For the first time in a few years, he felt alive. And the temptation to turn into Danny Fenton, to show his mom that he was still him, was almost more than he could bear, but, he had too, because even though Sam could feed him for a while yet, sooner or later she would run out, and as he could only take from her (don't ask him why, he didn't know!) it would be better not to waste it on such frivolous thing.

Sam took her hands away, preserving what she had left for later. Another time. Sam pecked him on the cheek as Frostbtie entered the room, it was time to go.

I just wanted to tell you to go read Pick And Choose and then go to my poll to vote on which story blurb you would like me to continue once I finish everything I have started. Thanks!

I have some Danny Phantom summaries that I'm willing to hand out if anyone needs something to write. Just pm me. Ideas are appreciated, you'll get your credit. Complaints ignored unless it's in the form of constructive criticism. Reviews motivate me. Don't own it. I hope some of you will check out my other fics. If something confuses you please don't be afraid to ask questions. Something I write may make sense to me but not to you.
