Hellbreaker, yeah, but she's not thinking with her head in this moment but with her heart and that can make people act irrational.

sammansonrepilica, I don't know if he would at this time because Sam is pushing him away and he can remember her doing that before she had been removed permanently from his home.

The next morning Danny woke up, his eyes a little blurry since he hadn't really slept well that night. All he could think of was how much he was pissed off and worried about Sam. His anger had over-ridden his emotions as he thought of the fact that Sam would rather chance her safety alone then allow him to help her. Did she not trust him to protect her? Did she think he was too weak? What was it?!

And then the worry came out. Was she safe? Did she have money with her? Where is she? All those questions and in the night he had dreamed that his Gothic friend was killed, her body laying broken in his arms. He could remember her smiles in that moment and it hit him just before dawn that he didn't just care about Sam. He loved her and in loving her he had allowed his emotions free reign. Sitting there in his bed Danny knew he had to trust her now because if she thought doing it this way was the right one then he had to let her do it.

"Fuck it," the halfa muttered before going into his bathroom. He couldn't do it after thinking of all the times she had been wrong. Hell, this last time if he had been with her then she wouldn't have been nearly killed or worse. "Sam just has bad luck." After a quick shower he sat back down on his bed, his eyes closing as he concentrated. He felt silly doing this, but while Sam had been gone the halfa had found friends in the Ghost Zone. The Far Frozen and Pandora were just two of them, the second person, Pandora having helped him understand his powers a little better. He had yet to get this one to work, but he was willing to try no matter how long it took.

All I need to do is concentrate on her, on her power which is in essence part of mine. Pandora had told him that if he could hone is powers he could read his partner's mind and see what they could. It was a locator that they could use since they were from one ghost. That wasn't something that happened very often although the ghost could remember at a time it had happened and what had happened. Concentrating he tried to envision his friend and her essence, something that for him wasn't as easy as it used to be, not with her changing all the time. Pandora told me this would work if I concentrated, but I don't feel even a glimmer of Sam. Thinking back to what she had told him to do when he was trying to locate his other half he remembered several important factors that were off even if he really didn't want to admit it.

One, you must be calm.

Two, you must have no anger or conflict in your soul.

Those two alone were not where they should be at that moment because he wasn't calm and he was seriously pissed off right now. Sam had left them with little notice and the halfa wasn't sure why she thought it would help any of them. If anything they would come to his house first and then destroy the world to find her. What had the she been thinking?

Okay, I need to calm down. Sam is her own person, almost 18 and smart enough to have hopefully thought this through. Concentrating he began what was to be a long time of training and honing this particular skill.

Present...

"I ran as far from my family as I could, but I made sure that no one would think to look for me there after broadcasting a message out into the Ghost Zone and to my father that they wouldn't find me and that the Fenton's were in no way covering for me. In fact I gave them all hints to finding me while I moved across the US. I never stayed in one spot, if anything I stayed in one place for no more than a few weeks before leaving. I don't know if they ever bothered my home, but I never went back. I cut my hair and changed my name for a while. I didn't have to work with all the money that had been given to me all those years, but I did take small jobs, you know defeating ghosts around the States. I was known for a while as a Ghostbuster, not original, but I never gave them a name when I helped them."

"There were times I yearned to go back, but as months passed and all the ghosts I had to battle grew I knew that it was better that I stayed away and now here I am, nineteen years old and still so far away from home because I am still hunted even though my father has no claim on my stuff. I drew out a will so that when I pass all my earthly possessions go to one person, the one person that stood by me no matter what happened and continued to look for me even when I told him not to. I ran into him once during my hiding and Danny told me what he thought of my idea."

"Stupid." Sam looked to her left, a man standing just feet from the stage, his blue eyes shimmering with anger. "It was so stupid and you knew that."

"Danny?" the Goth questioned as the man stepped toward the stage. "Is that really you?" He stepped into the light that now fell on him, the spotlight on the pair of them. "What are you doing here? How did you find me?"

"I came to find you and it was easy to find you since you are my other half." A sigh fell across the crowd even as the Goth's amethyst gaze narrowed. "You could have come to us and we would have protected you." She shook her head.

"You guys had plenty on your plates and your parents had done plenty for me growing up." She threw out her hand in exasperation. "Hell, if my parents had had it their way they would have left me with your parents and cut all ties, but because they were afraid of losing their millions they were more about having a babysitter that they didn't have to pay! I was never your family, I was someone that they felt bad for and took care of! Don't get me wrong I love your family and would have done anything to take all the pain that came with having me in their house away, but I couldn't and then after that person died, that woman who was supposed to be there for me, I was left to defend myself from my father!"

"You didn't have to do it alone!"

"Yes I did!" She backed up, her eyes never leaving his as she continued, "Danny, they signed a contract to take me in, but they could do nothing against my parents. The only reason they were able to retain me and my father couldn't was because I had been injured and could remember nothing. Don't you see?!" The halfa took a step toward her. "They were pawns that my parents used and when my father was about to lose it all he attacked again. Hell, he was planning on killing your parents." Danny stopped just feet from her, the Goth with her back to the wall of the stage.

"What?"

"Yeah, I remembered it later, much later than I should have, but I remembered it and knew that if that happened I could never forgive myself because your parents were there for me up until they hit the legal wall. You mother was the one that changed my diapers, your father taught me how to walk and Jazz taught me how to talk. Danny, your family was there for me in all the ways that counted and all the ways they could be and I couldn't reward that love with hate. I left because my grandmother made me remember it." Sighing she turned from him. "She wrote me a letter with the right to end my father's existence basically. I could take his possessions, all given to him by my grandmother, or I could let him keep them. Basically stripping him of his life or leaving him alone. It reminded me of the time after your parents tried to step up. My parents thought they were a problem because if it was ever proven that either of us had been harmed in their care that I could be legally adopted by your family."

Danny stood there in shock, but those words brought him back. Proof that either of us had been harmed? Sam had been harmed, while Danny had been threatened. Looking at her he took another step, his shoes echoing around them. Sam looked to him just as he his hands touched her shoulders. She looked up at him as his lips descended on hers. Applause broke out as they stood there in the spotlight kissing. As he pulled back Sam looked up at him, her breath coming out harsh.

"Sam, I love you."

"Danny... I love you too." He smiled at her because even though life could be full of despair it was also filled with joy.

"It was still stupid." Smacking him the pair kissed again as the lights went on.
