AMNESIA: The Quest for Answers
A Danny Phantom Fan Tale

The Quest: Chapter 10
Going Home


A week after Sam's recovery

"Mr and Mrs. Manson, Sam is clear for discharge." The doctor was speaking to Jeremy and Pamela, while Sam was still asleep. "Oh, thank God!" The couple exclaimed.

The doctor then added, "However, we are not yet unsure of the stability of her mind. Although she has awakened, the effects of the coma really wiped out her memory."

Pamela asked the doctor one last time, hoping that her old Sam could come back. "Isn't there anything you can do about this?"

The doctor answered, "We're sorry. We tried everything and did our best, but her memory never came back. Apologies."

The doctor then handed over the release slip to Jeremy and left the room. After the short conversation, the family decided to leave the hospital and go home. Although Sam can stand and walk on her own, she had problems talking, since much of the memories on her brain is new.

Arriving at the Manson's residence, Pamela said, "Okay, Sam! Welcome!" Sam softly responded, "Is this our home?" Jeremy exclaimed, "Why yes, Sam!" Sam does not remember a single thing.

Back at Fenton Works

Danny was at his room, still asleep. His mind and body was so exhausted, trying to think on how to return Sam's memories. Suddenly, his phone rings.

CONVERSATION

Danny: Hello?
Tucker: Danny! It's me, Tucker. Sam just got home!
Danny: Really? Well, I don't feel like thinking about her now?
Tucker: What? Don't you want to come to their home?
Danny: You probably know what Sam will say to me when I arrive there.
Tucker: No. What?
Danny: She will say, "WHO ARE YOU?"
Tucker: Well, she may not remember you, but you still have a chance! Get her to know you!
Danny: Well, let me think about it. For now, I need to rest.
Tucker: Okay, Danny! Call me if you are heading over to Sam's.
Danny: All right.

END OF CONVERSATION

Danny never thought of visiting his girlfriend, his talking will do nothing to return her memories. He went back on his bed and tried to sleep. Again, he was interrupted by another phone call.

CONVERSATION

Danny: hello?
Sam: Hello, is this Danny Fenton?
Danny: Yes, who is this?
Sam: My name is Sam. My mom told me you're one of my best friends.
Danny: Uhhh… you're right. I am one!
Sam: Well, maybe I can learn more about you! How about if you come over at our house tonight?
Danny: Um….
Sam: Please?
Danny: All right. I'll come. Have you called Tucker already?
Sam: Tucker? Oh, yeah! I just called him a while ago, and he's coming!
Danny: Oh! Well, that's great! See you then later!
Sam: See you!

END OF CONVERSATION

"First, she does not remember me. Second, she wants to know more about me. What's next?" Danny threw himself into his bed again and began thinking about Sam.

LATER THAT EVENING

Danny and Tucker made their way together to the Manson Residence. Upon arriving, they were greeted by Sam herself. "Danny! Tucker! It's so nice to meet you!"

Danny usually talks to Sam as if they were really close. But now, his speech is limited; he can't address Sam as "My Goth Girl", "My best friend", or even "My girlfriend".

"Uhhh… Nice to meet you too, Sam." Danny softly said.

Sam, Danny and Tucker went into the living room and chatted about themselves and their past experiences. However, Danny didn't open the topic about his ghost powers and his relationship with her.

Danny eventually got sick of seeing his girlfriend as if they just met. Danny stood up and bid Tucker and Sam goodbye, and went outside. He then transformed into his ghost half and flew up in the sky.

As he flew, tears flowed down his face. He couldn't take his feelings anymore, the intense emotions that he feels, the mindset that Sam no longer remembers him, and that he was about to lose one of his best friends.

"Why, Sam? Why?" He whispered to himself. "If only I have saved you, I would be flying with you now. If only I prevented my dark self, we would be fighting ghosts together." His emotions roared up to its peak. His voice deepened as he let his heart drain these emotions.

"IF ONLY I HAVE PROTECTED YOU, I WOULD HAVE MORE TIME TO SHOW MY LOVE FOR YOU!"

His voice boomed across the city, frightening birds and echoing through the mountains. He descended down into the Great Hill. There, he just had enough time to think… again. "Should I give her up? Fight for her? I don't know."

Suddenly, Danny came to a decision that would test his love for Sam. A decision that would either yield good or bad results. A decision that would prove his strength and feelings.

TO BE CONTINUED!


Well, that's it for now! This one's very short; however, the next chapter will be an interesting one! I PROMISE! YOU HAVE MY WORD!
