Hey guys! Thank you so much for all of your reviews from the last chapter! I have to say that I expect a huge surplus of reviews after this chapter because of the ending *evil laughter*. Don't worry though you'll see what I mean as soon as you read :) I'm so happy that everyone liked the way their argument was handled! It took me a bit to get that straightened out, but I'm so happy with the way it turned out.

*Note: I have not gone over this chapter with a fine tooth comb yet. but everything should be fine*
They think I'm insane, they think my lover is strange

September 27th, 2014
Saturday – Friday night
The dock – warehouses
12:30 a.m.
They didn't sleep the whole night on couch. Danny was woken abruptly after the movie was long done by his ghost sense, sending a chill through his body. The first thing he noted was that his right arm that was laid by his head with Sam's fingers still intertwined with his, was numb. The second thing he noticed was that Sam was practically in a ball on top of him. Her head now rested in the space between his shoulder and neck, her warm breath flowed across the side of his neck. Her right arm was squished between his body and arm and the back of his couch, he figured that her arm was numb too.
He really didn't want to move from his position, though he wouldn't mind getting rid of the numb feeling, but besides that he was pretty comfortable, even with Sam's awkward ball position on top of him. But he knew that if he didn't investigate to find out who was wreaking havoc, it would just get worse the longer he waited.
"Sam." He whispered and shook the hand that was connected to his, but she didn't even budge. "Sam." He called again a little louder and squeezed her hand.
This time she let out a tired grunt, but nothing more. He sighed and blew his bangs out of his eyes. He knew if he moved too much she'd freak out and he'd end up getting sleep punched or something. He decided to try moving slowly thought by untwining their fingers and letting her arm fall onto the couch and then shook her shoulder hard enough to move her head a bit. "Sam." He said more firmly.
"Ngh, what?" She groaned shifting her body and her elbow went into the side of his ribs.
"Ow. It's time to go up to the actual bed, now."
She moved her elbow just barely away, "Mhm. But you're so comfy." She mumbled.
"Sam, I have to go. My ghost sense went off."
She sighed and started to move up off of him, eyes still closed. "Okay, I'm up, I'm up."
Danny followed her up off the couch, but when she swayed as she stood up he quickly caught her around her waist to keep her stable.
"I'm fine. I can walk." So he let her go and let her start to stumble her way towards the stairs. He got up and followed her to make sure she was fine. After she crawled herself up onto her red comforter she cuddled up to her pillow and her breathing evened out.
"Night Sam." Even though he was leaving her he couldn't keep the smile off of his face. He phased her comforter up over her, the leaned down and kissed her forehead before changing, grabbing the thermos with Chaser inside and another empty one before flying through her window.
What he was not expecting was Skulker down by the docks at the warehouses there, moving in and out between the buildings. Danny floated invisibly behind him, close enough to see what he was doing but far enough away to make sure Skulker didn't hit him. He followed him through three more building when Skulker stopped and looked at Tucker's PDA still attached to his arm. He flew down to one set of crates and blasted it open with a ghost ray. Before Skulker could reach in to grab whatever was in the crate, ignoring the lid as it hit the concrete; Danny shot him in the shoulder, finally speaking up.
"Doing another of Plasmius's errands?"
Skulker whipped around quickly, growling, "Whelp." And then fired a shot at him. Danny was quick enough to dodge because he had been expecting it from fighting him so often.
"Getting distracted there, errand boy?"
"Not quite." He growled back.
"So what are you stealing this time? Battle armor to make a new suit for your pipsqueak self?"
Skulker shot at him again, now more in anger than anything. He hated when someone brought up his size.
Danny used the attacks to get higher to see what was inside the crates to be confused as all he saw were green rock pieces that had a glow around them. He felt like he had seen them before, but he couldn't think clearly enough to figure out where.
"Go ahead and touch it, Whelp." Danny turned from the allure of the glowing green rocks to see Skulker hovering to the side of him, his mechanical arms folded over his chest and a smirk playing on his mouth.
"What is this?" He couldn't help but ask, turning back to look at what was in the crate. It felt as though it was almost luring him in.
But Skulker didn't answer him. He tried to think of where he had seen this before but the answers kept evading him. He'd know it right away if his parents had used it because he made sure to be on top of their information at all time and if Vlad was using the stuff it had to be important in the ghost community. He wondered if this was something he used to combine with ectoplasm to create his clones. But he nixed that idea as soon as he thought it because Skulker seemed very keen on having him touch it, which meant it wasn't something good.
"Weapons. It's another weapon of some sort." He turned to face Skulker and was met with a fist to the face. He fell back to the ground knocking his head against the warehouse floor. "I gotta stop forgetting that Skulker's still bad." He groaned to himself rolling out of the way of a blue containment box Skulker sent his way.
"The hunt is not upon us today, ghost child. Another day and your pelt will lie at the end of my bed – no matter what Ember says." He mumbled the last part.
"You guys are still together?" Danny quipped, "She hasn't left you because of your size yet?" he knew that was a low blow, but he needed to figure out why Vlad needed those glowing rocks and why they were considered weapons. But he knew that he couldn't let Vlad get them.
"Your quips do nothing to deter me from my job, Whelp." Skulker shot at him again and he had to duck back behind the crates he had rolled behind.
"And why does Vlad want this stuff anyway?" He shot a freeze ray at him, freezing the arm that was reaching for one of the pieces.
"A weapon is a weapon, child. And you are a hindrance." Danny was expecting to get shot at and blocked it with a quick shield when Skulker's rays blasted him. What he was not expecting was for the ray to travel through the shield and hit him square in the chest, sending him careening back to the floor and spasming as he felt himself change back to his human form.
"What?"
"Portable Plasmius Maximus." Skulker looked at the gun on his arm and admired it. "Test driving it and so far the effect is good." Skulker shot a simple ghost ray at him. Danny moved quicker than he thought he could at the moment considering his head was pounding and he was focusing hard on not letting his pain flow over to Sam. He was able to get behind a different set of crates, the ray making a burn mark on the concrete floor.
He leaned against them and searched his pockets for a weapon and cursed loudly when he realized that he didn't have one. Sam was going to kill him for that. He took a chance to look over the boxes to see what Skulker was doing: whether waiting for him or not, but he was gone.
"Crap." He groaned, seeing that the lid was back on the crate that Skulker had stolen from. He walked back over to it and the sign on top of the crate immediately caught his attention.
ECTORANIUM
PROPERTY OF THE GUYS IN WHITE
He immediately remembered why he thought he'd seen it before. A week or so ago they had discussed key ways in killing a ghost and though you would need a lot of ectoranium to kill a ghost it was extremely dangerous. There had been pictures on the PowerPoint but were of smaller pieces, not large ones like what was in the crate.
"What is Vlad planning?"

Saturday
Tucker's house – Tucker's room
4:30 p.m.
They had to wash each of Dash's, Paulina's, Kwan's and Star's cars that afternoon. Twice. Afterwards, Danny and Tucker exhaustedly made their way to Tuckers house to hang out. They were studying for their government class as they had a test on Monday and Danny really wanted to do well on the first exam since the second test was around Halloween and he knew how busy it was during that time. He probably never would get in any time to study. Sam was unable to come over and help them study because her and Ida were taking a day together.
"If Vlad is using ectoranium, stolen from the GIW, would he be trying to create better weapons to attack you with?" Tucker mused as they sat on his bed.
Their books were open, but they hadn't even started studying yet because Danny was finally able to tell him about last night's encounter with Skulker.
"I guess, but it's not like he doesn't already beat me most of the time anyway. Why would he need to make weapons with ectoranium? Unless he's going to try and sell them?"
"What about Valerie?" Tucker arched a brow at his obvious misstep of who worked for Vlad.
"Well, yeah I just assumed that he would be giving the ectoranium weapons to her, but typically he has a different game he's playing with things like this."
"True, but he usually has her test out his products first before he uses them. You could always get information out of her to figure out what Vlad is doing with it."
"Like she'll actually talk to me about it." He rolled his eyes. "That's like getting Sam to talk about sunshine and rainbows." He smirked as a thought came to him from Sam who was listening in to their conversation. "Why don't you ask her?"
"Me?!" Tucker looked at him with wide eyes behind his glasses.
"Yeah, not like you guys don't talk when we're at school."
"Not for a while though!" He threw up his arms in exasperation.
"Come on, man. What happened to the confident, strapping Tucker that wasn't afraid of girls?" Danny smirked at him when Tucker reached over and punched him on the upper arm.
"You're saying I should like seduce her to get her to talk. I can't do that!"
Danny started laughing at the pitch in Tucker's voice.
"What's so funny, clueless one?"
Danny chuckled again and shook his head, "Sam was the one who suggested it."
"Sam!" Tucker whined. Danny laughed harder when he heard Sam laugh in his head. "And I thought she was taking a day with Grandma Ida? Why is she listening in on our conversation." He pouted and folded his arms across his chest.
"She is, but she wanted to know what happened with Skulker too and apparently she's getting a massage right now so it's pretty quiet on her end." Danny answered. "And anyway, I'm sure you could get the information out of Valerie before I could."
"But doesn't she technically still like you?"
Danny ignored the growl from Sam in his head, "With the way she talks with you? Yeah, right. Speaking of which…" Danny figured now was the best time to ask him since Sam wasn't there. He told Sam he was going to block her out for something before putting up a mental wall to keep her out of his head. "I'm trying to figure out what to get Sam since were dating now."
"So you're definitely not going to use the ring?" His demeanor relaxed as the focus of him and Valerie was taken off the table for the moment.
"Yeah, it's not really who we are you know?" Danny leaned back on his hands.
"That's true." Tucker nodded in agreement, "Do you have any ideas so far?"
He sighed and reached up to rub the back of his neck. "Not really, no. I mean she doesn't really appreciate jewelry and not like that would really be all that different than the ring. But I can't really think of anything else besides getting her a bracelet or something."
"Hmm." Tucker rubbed his chin as he did when he was thinking. "What about making something?"
"But what would I make?" He groaned out, letting his hand fall back on the bed to support himself. "It's not like I'm particularly gifted in the Arts."
"What about that diamond ice thing you made when after you defeated Undergrowth for the first time?"
Danny raised a brow, "What about it?"
Tucker gave him his, 'are you serious' look. "You used your ice to make it and she really liked it. I know for a fact that she still has it in her jewelry box."
"She does?"
"Yeah." Tucker chuckled at his friends shocked face. "You could do something like what the Far Frozen does."
"I'm not asking her to marry me, Tucker." Though when he said that he did get a warm fluttering feeling in his chest.
"Okay, that's true. But you could make a necklace or something." He shrugged.
"Okay, but that still doesn't tell me what I should make her though."
"I have no idea. Just start molding things I guess." Tucker shrugged again. This was supposed to be between them and though he knew that they were doing this without the ring that they already had, he had no clue on what to do from there. He wasn't creative like Sam either.
"That'll be my best shot." Danny sighed as his eyes glowed blue along with his hand and began to mold various little things with his ice powers. "Okay, give me some test questions and I'll see what I can answer."

Sunday
The Queen's Dragon
1:00 p.m.
The next day Danny decided that it was best to go ahead and give her what he made so he took her out to her favorite café, The Queen's Dragon. Though she was very adamant on not going because it was his birthday and wanted to take him to somewhere he wanted to, but Danny liked this place as well and he already wanted to take her here in the first place. Just because it was his birthday was no reason to make a big celebration out of it. He was seventeen, nothing big happened when you turned seventeen.
"We're meeting Tucker after this you know." She told him as they took their seats outside.
"Yeah I know. And I know that you guys got tickets to go see Jazz next weekend as my present."
Sam bit her bottom lip. "You weren't supposed to find out yet but, Tucker and I figured it was the best way for you to celebrate. Except Tucker wasn't able to get tickets for this weekend and so we decided next weekend would do just the same."
"Thanks Sam." He reached over and held her hand in his. "It'll be nice to see Jazz without one of our lives being in danger."
"I'll say. So did your parents remember this year? Or did Jazz have to tell them?"
"They definitely remembered except I think it was because she reminded them a week or so ago because they were ready with presents this morning. They actually wanted to take me out to dinner, but I told them that we would all be doing something instead. They seemed pretty happy though to hear that. Said that they were trying to fix the Ecto-Stopo-Powerifyer or as they now call it the Fenton Photon-Deleter." Sam made a face. "Yeah, still not the best name, but at least I know how to spell this one."
"Wasn't that the one that would use your dad's cell phone as a signal to make sure all ghosts were wasted in that vicinity?"
"The very one. Now they're trying to get it to run smoother. Which for them is going to take a bit. But at least they're preoccupied by something so we don't have to worry about them as much."
"Yeah that is good. But they'll eventually have that weapon down to where they want it, so we'll need to be prepared. What did they get you?"
"I'll go down and slow things down just to make sure we can keep on top of them. Let's see, Jack actually got me a new watch. It's kind of nice." He lifted his left arm to show her the black banded watch with silver roman numerals and a black face.
"That is nice. Something I wouldn't quite expect from your dad."
"I've been leaving tips around the house." He shrugged just as a staff member brought over Sam's Green Tea White Jasmine and Kale salad along with Danny's iced Chocolate Mint Teappucino's and a Smoked Turkey and Swiss Panini.
"What'd your mom get you then?" She asked and then took a drink of one of her favorite teas.
"Two new band T-shirts; one for Dumpty Humpty and the other for the Black Keys. And she got me a new wallet since my old one was looking a little worse for wear." He said then bit into his Panini.
"I'll say. You were losing more money out of that thing, then putting any in it."
He was about to answer with a funny quip of 'That's what dating's for' but she shot him a look before he could get the first word out of his mouth. With both of their mental walls weakened a bit, he got a sense that she was baiting her time to give him something.
"You got me something?" They both asked at the same time, though Danny tacked on 'else' at the end of his sentence.
"We need to practice." Sam chuckled then reached down by her feet where her small purse was stashed, grabbed what she needed then sat back up again. "Yeah I got you something else but, it's not really for your birthday."
Danny arched a brow, "Then what's it for?"
"Well, remember I told you that I would get you something to wear as well since we weren't going all old school?"
"Yeah."
"Well, I got you something." A slight blush colored her cheeks
He chuckled and reached into his pocket and pulled out his gift to her. "That's so funny because you were right; I have something for you too." He smiled wider as he saw her lilac eyes light up as he released he hand and pulled out his creation from his pocket.
"Danny." Her hand placed the box that held her item for him on the table next to her drink, her eyes still transfixed on the ice glinting in the sunlight. "It's beautiful."
"It's simple but I knew that that was better than anything big and flashy." He handed it over to her to examine. She took it carefully, afraid that a simple move would break the ice. "Don't worry about that. It's just like the diamond crystal I made a while ago. It won't break unless hit with extreme force. Like Frostbite's arm."
"Can you put it on me?" She looked up at him and moved her hair to the side. He obliged and got up from his seat to clasp the necklace around her neck. When he sat down he took the moment to admire as the ice crescent moon attacked to a star pendant rested smoothly against the soft skin at the base of her throat and how the black ribbon band wrapped around her neck before disappearing behind her hair where a lock was fastened to keep it in place.
"How does it look?" She reached up to touch the pendent and tried to look down at it even though she was barely able to make out the bottom of the moon and star combination.
'Beautiful.' Danny thought before he could speak it aloud. They both blushed, and Sam locked eyes with him, a smile clear on her lips.
"I like the star and moon. It reminds me of us."
Danny chuckled. "Yeah I was going through my mind last night trying to figure out what to make, which is why I was blocking you. I had made my insignia, a bat, just a star, a heart, even one with both of our initials, but then I thought that was kind of stupid."
Sam laughed as well, touching her ice pendent again. "Yeah that one's a bit cheesy. How'd you come up with the idea to use your ice powers to make it?" She used this time to take a bit out of her salad.
"Tucker actually." He took a bite of his Panini. "And the band actually came from one of Jazz's older necklaces that she doesn't wear anymore. Don't worry I asked her before taking it."
"I guess I'll have to thank them both, too. Do you want yours now?" She eyed the box.
"Yeah. But you really didn't have to get me anything."
"True. But I wanted to." She smiled and slid over the box across the table to him then took another drink and a bite of her salad.
Danny gingerly opened the blank black box and found white tissue paper covering what Sam got him. He placed the top part of the box on the table and moved aside the tissue paper to see a black leather bracelet settled into the box. He lifted it out and examined the gold plate that adorned the piece and found the inscription, 'Soul, Body and Mind'.
"Wow!" He looked up at Sam who was looking at him expectantly and asking him what he thought of it through their link. "I love it." He instantly reached out his hand to her to have her buckle it onto his right wrist. "This is so cool, Sam." He looked at the small dark band and golden plate more closely and was amazed at how nice it felt on his skin. "You didn't spend a ton on this did you?" He was getting a tad worried that he should have actually gone out and bought her something instead.
"No," She shook her head, "I didn't." Which was true; the most expensive part was the engraving on the plate and it still was under thirty dollars.
"Thanks, Sam." He leaned across the small table – realizing what he was doing, Sam met him half way. He kissed her tenderly and neither of them wanted to pull away, but they were in public and kept the kiss short and then went back to their meals.
When they were done with their lunch they made their way back to Sam's car and headed towards Lazer Lanes – the local bowling alley, arcade and laser tag place. However they were interrupted as Technus appeared above them, causing Danny's ghost sense to go off.
"Great, first Skulker and now Technus. You wanna call Tucker?" he asked her as he the bright lights travel up and down his body to transform him into his other half.
"Yeah, we're gonna need him over here anyway." She said and began to pull off to the side of the road as Danny flew through the roof of her car. She sighed heavily, "I would like for him to have one birthday where he didn't have to deal with ghosts." Then she dialed Tucker's number.
"Hello?"
"Yeah, we're not gonna make it to Lazer Lanes. Were down by the Queen's Dragon still and Technus is out and about again."
"He can't have even one quiet birthday can he?"
"No. But that's what next weekend's for." She found a spot to park and got out of the car after grabbing a wrist ray and a thermos.
"Yeah. Okay, I'll be there in a few minutes."

Fenton Works – Danny's Room
7:35 a.m.
The next morning as Danny was getting ready for school he and Sam were conversing in their minds. She had gotten up at her normal time to eat breakfast while Danny was rushing about and as being one of his best friends was making fun of him for it.
'You still want me to pick you up or are you going to fly?'
'No I'll be ready by the time you get here. I do not want to be run down by the media again. Ever since the whole thing with the GIW I've noticed they've been trying to follow me more often again.'
Sam chuckled; he could tell she was having a good morning which made his own morning even better considering her hatred of the early hours. 'Our very own celebrity. You know if you fly then Tucker would finally get to sit in the front seat and he'd stop complaining.'
Danny rolled his eyes as he pulled the new Dumpty Humpty concert T-shirt over his head from Maddie. 'It's not my fault I live closer to you than he does. And anyway he sits in the front when we leave campus so he has nothing to be complaining over.' He felt an immediate shift in her focus and confusion and anger shot through him but he didn't understand why. 'Sam? What's wrong?'
'You have to pick up Tucker. I'll be at school around lunch time. I'm putting up my wall.' He could hear the fierceness in her mental voice and a small trickle of fear and then he was shut out.
"What the hell?" he stood in his room, pants in hand. "What did her parents do this time?" He growled to himself and hurriedly pulled on his pants and grabbed his book bag before changing and flying to Tucker's.
When he landed in his friend's room, Tucker yelped in surprise as he appeared. "What are you doing?"
"Sam said she's not coming to school until after lunch and then she blocked me out. Said we have to walk." Tucker frowned and folded his arms across his chest.
"What the hell did her parents do now?"
"I have no idea and I can't try and figure it out because she's put up a mental wall. I guess we're just going to have to wait till lunch." He growled in annoyance. "Come on, I'll fly us invisibly so we're not late."
They got to school with a few minutes to spare and to homeroom without Lancer giving Danny a sad and condescending look. Danny always ignored the look anyway because he hated disappointing Lancer after the things he'd been through with him and all he's done to help him keep his grades up.
Everything was going normal until lunch – which was kind of normal when Danny and Tucker thought about. Ghost attacks typically happened around the same time with the few strays at other times of the day; lunch time being one of those regular times. When they were sitting down to eat Danny sent a group chat text out to Sam and Tucker – just to make sure they were all in the same conversation – to see what Sam's estimated arrival time was.
I'm actually not coming today. - Sam
Both boys looked at each other with furrowed brows, anger clear on their faces.
What's going on? – Tucker
They waited nearly five minutes before a response came through.
My parents. Look don't worry, I'll tell you guys later tonight in person – Sam
Danny and Tucker didn't like the sound of that. Whatever had happened that morning was not something that was good. She only ever wanted to deliver news in person if it was extremely bad and one of them would react badly.
"She's definitely worried." Danny said, he could feel a slight drop in her wall, letting him able to feel a small portion of what she was feeling. "And angry. Definitely angry."
"You don't think they're getting another restraining order on you, do you?"
Danny shrugged, but a worried bubble rose in his chest. "I don't know. I hope not. But if they were she would just call me and tell me that. This has to be something worse." He mused and leaned his elbow on the table, head rested in his hand.
"Worse than the restraining order? Like sending her off to Europe?" Tucker took a bite of his burger.
"Maybe. I can't get a better reading on her feelings. But that would be enough to set her off like this." He sighed and slapped his hand on the table in annoyance. "Why can't they just accept her for who she is?"
"Because money has clouded their judgements." Tucker answered. Though he sounded blasé about what was happening, inside he was so worried he felt sick. Sam never held out on them, which meant whatever was going on was terrible. More terrible than anything they had happened across before.
Danny gasped and Tucker looked up from his food just in time to see Danny's breath disappear. "I am so not in the mood right now." But Danny got up from his seat. "I'll be back." And made his way to the bathrooms to go find out who was bothering him today.
It wasn't anyone quite important he found out as he flew around the school to see a pack of white ghost wolves roaming about on the street, chasing the few people who were actually out. And next thing he knows he's going to town on them. After sucking them all up in the Fenton Thermos he realized that he didn't need to take a breather before heading back to school. Sam's anger and now annoyance was overflowing to him and he didn't exactly block her because he wanted to know what was going on with her. But her emotions combined with his anger towards her parents did not help him when fought those ghost wolves.
When things like this happened he could actually envision himself becoming the Ghost King, but he knew that if this was what being the Ghost King entailed then he would just become another version of his other self.
When he found himself to be calmer he made his way back to school just in time for his last classes of government where he had a test and Ghost 101 where they were informed that they would be starting up a group project soon and to start thinking of what they might want to discuss and who they would want to do the project with – a minimum of two partners a maximum of three. Which worked out perfectly well for the trio, though Danny joked with Tucker that he should go try a woo Valerie with his knowledge. That earned him a smack to the back of the head, which he laughed off.
When school ended Tucker texted her and asked if they could come over but Sam was very adamant on the fact that they should not come over yet. Especially not invisibly.
"Well this blows." Tucker grumbled as they walked back to his house. The usual flow of pedestrian traffic after school and having Sam not show up to school would make it weird if Danny flew them back to Tucker's house, but they almost didn't mind walking considering they had done it so much their freshman year.
They spent the rest of their night fighting ghosts and getting homework in when they could until Sam sent them a text around 10 o'clock that night telling them they could come over, but only through her window.
Danny instantly flew both of them to her house, his worry had been building all day and he was ecstatic to finally be getting an answer to what was going on. Tucker was still a bundle of nervous like before because he had no idea what to expect what Sam's reasoning for missing class that day was. And typically he and Danny were on top of those things but now they were completely in the dark.
When they arrived in her bedroom it was lit only by a few of her non-scented black and purple candles leaving eerie shadows on the walls. Sam was pacing in front of her dresser, arms folded across her chest and muttering to herself. She looked up as they turned visible once again and Danny set Tucker down. They were surprised to see anger and fear through her eyes and a sense of doom settled over them.
"Sam?" Danny stepped forward, his arm reaching out towards her. "What's going on?" He was trying to get past her mental shield but nothing he did would break it. He couldn't understand why she was so instant on keeping him out when she was the one insisting that she missed having him in her head and wanted him to always be there.
"I…" She stopped and looked down at the floor and swallowed loudly.
"It's okay, Sam, just tell us whatever it is." Tucker reassured.
She let out a long breath through her mouth and looked back up at them both. To their worried faces and Danny's hand still reached out towards her.
"My parents introduced me to my suitor today. I'm having an arranged marriage."
"What!"
"Apparently, I'm getting married. Next spring."

Manson Mansion - Sam's room
10:05 p.m.
AH! What?! No! LOL can't wait to hear what you guys think about this! I would like to see another minimum of 7 reviews! I know you guys can do it! i love you guys so much! (I know that's a lot of exclamation points).
I totally forgot about Danny's birthday this chapter! They're really going to celebrate it next weekend. But for now it's roughly a birthday. Pulled the food from the Queen's Dragon from a café in my home city that caters to the vegan palate.
**Answers to Reviewers!
Blue11msu: Yeah I wanted to put the fight in with Chaser but it really wasn't that important to the story line so I didn't. I've really gotten drawn into the idea of Danny making ice sculptors. *I know it's not really an answer, but it kinda is lol*
SamXDanny: I'm sorry you were sick! Hope you're feeling better! I've bene a little under the weather too these past view days. You'll have to see about the stuff Danny said later *Evil laughter*
ShadowDragon357: Honeymoon phase ended. Lol. Yeah I totally agree with you on the fact that Sam would have been taught how to play pool by Ida and then use that to her advantage later on. I totally see Danny and her hustling guys or something lol. I'm so sorry for not PMing you! I keep getting caught up! But I promise promise promise PROMISE to email you by Tuesday! Oh yeah and Sam's mouth is totally gonna get her in trouble one of these days. That's a given. *wink wink nudge nudge* LOL
Savirox: They should!
Phantom Fire1: So happy that you liked the first chapter! Hope you stayed for all the other chapters, even if you haven't gotten to this chapter yet!
Rocky Rooster: Yeah I've definitely put the thought process into having Danny do ice sculptures. Thanks so much for your support through this story so far! It really means a lot to me!
CaptainDorito: Right?! Tucker is pretty awesome! Yeah I'm the same way about kissing too. When I was typing out their fight I wasn't sure what side I wanted either. Because I could have made either side work but it'll be nice for this to work out. And I'm so happy you really like the lyrics and stuff. I'm gonna put it up on the next chapter :)
