TIME TRAVEL with DANNY PHANTOM and SAM

Clockwork's Intermission
A Birthday Gift for a Goth Girl

TIME OUT!

After Danny Phantom saved our realm, we realized that he, as a human, was able to cope up with our standards here. We also, have tried some of the cultures of the human world. We decided to try something new.

And so, we built a magical park here in the Ghost Zone, in honor of the Ghost Boy who saved our homes, and for our realm to have a piece of the human world.

But, this park was not just a symbol of our gratitude to our hero and a symbol of peace with the humans and their world. It is also a mere witness to our hero's love life.

TIME IN!

Three Years after the events of Phantom Planet

"Think, Danny. Think!"

"How about the usual? Presents, food, or others?"

"ARGH! What am I gonna do?"

Danny was in his room, thinking of a perfect surprise for his girlfriend, Sam.

"Sam's birthday is today! You almost forgot, Danny! You should think and act fast now!"

Giving up, Danny threw Himself in his bed. Suddenly, a very cool idea entered his mind. "I know!" He picked up his phone and called his girlfriend.

[CONVERSATION]

Sam: Hello?
Danny: Hi, Sammy! It's me, Danny.
Sam: Hey, Danny! So, what's up?
Danny: Well, I got something for you.
Sam: Really? What is it?
Danny: It's a secret! You'll know soon.
Sam: Aw!
Danny: So, here's what I want you to do. Go to our house now. Is it ok if you leave now?
Sam: Absolutely! My parents just left to go to the mall.
Danny: Excellent! I'll meet you later, then!
Sam: Okay. Bye!

[END OF CONVERSATION]

Sam quickly changed her clothes and made her way to Fenton Works. She was greeted by Danny, who was waiting outside. "Hey, Sam!" greeted Danny. "Hey!" Sam hugged her boyfriend. "So, what are we doing?"

Danny took Sam inside and went down the laboratory, where Sam saw the Ghost Portal open. "Wait." Sam said. "We're not going to the Ghost Zone, are we?" Danny answered, "Yes. I got something for you. But first, we need to enter here." Danny immediately transformed into his ghost form and carried Sam towards the Ghost Zone.

Sam was amazed at what she was seeing. The Ghost Zone was so peaceful and orderly than the last time they went inside. Ghosts are now sharing instead of fighting. All natural portals are arranged and ordered; not just scattered across the zone.

Danny flew into a magical park situated near the Far Frozen. Sam didn't want to let go of Danny, she might suddenly float and get separated. After they landed, they sat on a rock. "So, what is this place?" Sam asked.

Sam was stunned at the sight in front of her: lots of flowers, trees, and small animals roaming around. The sky was not as green and dark as it should be; the skies were as blue as the seas. It is much, much beautiful than the parks in the human world, and it is situated in the realm of the dead.

"This is the Magical Park," Danny answered. "This park can only be accessed using the Infi-Map."

"Wow! It's so beautiful!" Sam exclaimed. "But why would the ghosts have something like this in their realm?"

"Well, the ghosts wanted to have the parks that existed in our world. Usually during our fights a few years ago, they always head to the parks. So, I helped them create one. However, we made a deal that it can only be accessed by persons who really need it. So, I took the Infi-Map, and placed a small mark on it, indicating this park's location."

"Well, how if one wants to enter this park?" Sam asked.

"If they only need it, the park will appear itself for them." Danny answered.

They stood up and had a little fun. "Catch me if you can, Ghost Boy!" Sam began to run fast as Danny chased her "Oh, I'm gonna get you, Goth Girl!"

The leaves fell from the branches as the couple passed under them. Winds blew these leaves onto a nearby pond. The young couple passed through a bridge right above the pond.

Danny eventually managed to capture Sam and they both fell down, laughing. They both went silent for a few minutes. Sam then asked. "This is so wonderful, Danny, but what are we doing here?"

Danny proudly replied, "What better way to celebrate your special day than to take you to a magical place?"

Sam was speechless at that time; she just received a very special gift from her boyfriend. Danny then exclaimed, "Happy Birthday, Sam!"

Touched by her boyfriend's surprise, she grabbed Danny and hugged him. "Oh, thank you so much, Danny! This is the best birthday gift ever!"

Sam and Danny remained in their hug for about three minutes, with tears running down the Goth girl's face.

However, that wasn't just the surprise. After they pulled out from the hug, a mob of ghosts appeared in front of them, shouting, "Surprise!"

Sam was shocked. "What? What's all this?" Every ghost Danny met was there: The Lunch Lady, Skulker, Technus, Desiree, The Box Ghost, Ember, Johnny, Kitty, and others.

"Well, it's the special day of our hero's girlfriend!" Skulker exclaimed.

"Wow, thank you guys!" Sam said, letting out another tear. She then grabbed Danny and kissed him… passionately. The ghosts went "Awww…" at the romantic scene they were witnessing.

After the couple pulled out, Ember gleefully shouted, "Let's get this party started!"

Ember started singing; some began eating, while others danced to the beat of the music. Who would think that after Danny Phantom saved the Ghost Zone, they would pay him off by trying out the human culture on them?

While everyone was having fun, Danny and Sam went a little far from the party, where they could be alone for a while. There, Sam hugged her boyfriend and said, "Thank you very much, Danny. You sure do have a lot of surprises." At that point, their faces began to moving closer and closer to each other, until their lips met… again.
