It had been two weeks since the meteor incident, and one week since Amber moved on.
Suffice to say, Danny hadn't gotten much time to spend with his friends.
He had it all planned out: a nice date with Sam on Saturday, and a fun video-gaming binge with both Tucker and Annie the next day. Since his parents would be gone that Sunday, they would have the house all to themselves! Oh yes, Danny was very excited indeed.
.
The next day Danny fixed up his hair and put on a nice shirt. This would be their first official date, after all. He wanted the date to be special. Sam had no idea where he was taking her, and he preferred it that way.
Finally, it was 6 o'clock. He picked up the picnic basket he had packed, and jumped into the air, flying to Sam's house. He knocked on the door, making the basket invisible.
"Hey Sam," Danny greeted her with a blush.
Sam wore a skin-tight black dress. Danny wanted to say she looked super sexy in it, but instead said, "You look really nice."
Sam smirked at him, "So where are we going, Danny?"
He held out a hand to her, "I'll fly you there."
She took it, and together they took off into the sunset.
.
They landed in the woods, near a lake a couple of miles out-of-town. Danny made the basket visible.
"A romantic picnic," Sam asked, surprised and pleased.
"Anything for you!" Danny unpacked two sodas and handed one to Sam. He then took out the sandwiches, "No meat or animal-like things. It's a tofu ham sandwich."
Sam blushed. "Where do I sit. I didn't think we'd be out in the woods."
Danny took a blanket out of the basket, "I've got you covered!"
They sat down after he unfolded it. Sam leaned on Danny's shoulder, taking a bite out of her sandwich. "Not bad," she commented.
Danny put an arm around her, "Yeah, Jazz gave me over-the-phone advice."
"Huh, I forgot she was spending the weekend at that college."
Danny nodded, "Yeah, my parents are picking her up tomorrow."
Sam got a mischievous grin, "Oh, the house all to yourself?"
"I'm going with them," Danny lied, "Isn't the sunset amazing?"
"Yeah," Sam sighed, sitting up, "do you know what else is amazing?"
"What?"
Sam kissed him on the lips. She didn't notice that Danny had a mouthful of real ham, so when they deepened the kiss,
"AHH!" Sam pulled back and spat out the remains, "Ug, meat!"
Danny laughed, "That's what you get!"
Sam took a mouthful of soda and swished it in her mouth before spitting it out, "I can't understand how you can stomach that stuff!"
Danny grabbed her waist and pulled her in for another kiss, "Oh, you know me," he murmured in her lips.
Sam laughed, and they kept kissing, and dinner was forgotten.
However, minutes in, when Danny began putting his hand up Sam's dress, Sam immediately stopped him.
"Sorry Danny," she told him, pulling away, "I'm waiting until I'm married."
Danny's face fell, but in a moment he wiped it away, "Sorry."
Sam picked up her sandwich again, giggling, "We can burn our V-cards when we get married!"
Danny's expression was unreadable. Sam figured it was his hormones talking, so she kissed his cheek. "don't look so down!"
Danny forced a smile, "Yeah, sorry. Hormones, you know?"
Sam laughed, but Danny was thinking, with slight guilt, someone else already took mine.
.
Hours later, Danny just flew into Sam's room to drop her off.
"See you on Monday," Sam kissed him on the lips.
Danny kissed back, "Yeah," his voice was raspy when he pulled away. He gave Sam a shy smile and flew back through the window, his phone falling out of his pocket.
"Danny, wait!" Sam called out to him. Too late. He was gone.
I should return it to him Sam thought to herself, turning on the device, after a little snooping, of course!
Danny's phone wasn't password protected, so that made Sam's job a little easier. First, she went through the text messages, selecting the ones to Tucker first.

.
Sam exited out of the messages with Tucker. "Oh, what's this?" She muttered to herself, clicking on the messages that were under "Annie".
.
September 17th
Annie: DANNY THIS IS A NEW PHONE THIS IS A TEST TEXT!
Danny: No need to shout

Annie: K, HURRY!
September 19th
Annie: PTSD is a real bitch. Was helping Mom and she tripped while holding... something. I forget, but it made a loud noise and I was there all over again DX
Danny: You'll get better, I promise :)
Annie: I hope so. Don't want to end up in a fight and a punch makes me shut down
Danny: Don't worry; I'll be there to make it all better ;)
Annie: You're too sweet.
.
.
Alarm bells went off in Sam's head. Was Danny... cheating? She scrolled down and kept reading.
.
Annie: Kissed and made up?
Danny: Yeah, sorry about that
Annie: eh. Bitches be bitchin, but no harm, no foul
Danny: LOL, you're right. Thanks for understanding
Annie: Of course :)
September 20th
Danny: Ready for some fun?
Annie: Yeah, if YOU'D TELL ME ALREADY!
Danny: You'll see, it's a surprise ;)
Danny: My parents and sister will be gone Sunday, so we'll have the house all to ourselves. Come to the house at noon.
Annie: ;P I think I'd like that. You know how to make a girl have a good time ;)
.
Sam nearly crushed the phone, ignoring the rest of the thread. He WAS cheating on her. Her vision went red, and she formed a plan.
Oh yeah, she'd catch him in the act. It would be him who got surprised, not Annie! That cheating little weasel!
.
And she didn't see the new message from Tucker, which read this:
.
Tucker: Start the games without me, I rescheduled for 10, but I'll be a little late! Can't wait for some video game fun tomorrow! AND DON'T GIVE ME PARKER JUST SO YOU COULD GET REVENGE!
Well, looks like Sam's a snoop. Too bad she didn't read the rest of Danny's text-chat... oh, but we'll get to that on the next chapter!
Best way to stop a character from becoming a Mary Sue = PTSD.
Oh, this next chapter's going to be intense.
