…

This was torture.

He knew he'd been through worse pain than this before. He'd been shocked by his parent's ghost portal, the electrical shockwaves changing the very molecular structure of his body. He'd been slammed into concrete buildings, blasted by white-hot ghost rays, and fried by ghostly lightning strikes.

This pain was worse than anything he'd ever felt. The muscles in his abdomen were screaming. His throat was burning, his eyes clenched in agony. His fingernails bit into his palms, nearly drawing blood. His ribs felt like they were being crushed by one of Skulker's robotic feet.

'You can do this, Danny.' He thought, eyes starting to water at the pain. His face was tight, his teeth grinding together. He bit down on his tongue, hard. 'You can do this. You have fortitude-'

A low, evil chuckle sounded in his ear, and then fingers feathered the side of his torso.

He was a goner.

Laughter erupted out of his mouth and he clawed at the hand that was tickling him. He couldn't breathe, tears streaming out of his eyes. "Stop, stop! I can't take it anymore! You win!" He gasped, fighting for breath as the laughter streamed out.

Cheerful laughter joined his pained one, and the slender hand left his side. He gasped for breath, his chest tight, as he collapsed in a heap on the floor. Sam chuckled, sitting next to his body and leaning against her bed. "Told you I'd make you crack."

"You're…evil…" He gasped, his face against the rug.

"Hey, you were the one who said you 'weren't that ticklish'. I know you, Danny." She patted his head. "You are the most ticklish person I know, even when you try not to be."

"I thought I could do it." He groaned. He'd sat still, without laughing, while she tickled him for about three minutes, a record, before he'd cracked.

"Oh, Danny." Sam laughed. "If any of the ghosts in the Ghost Zone heard about you being ticklish, you'd be a dead man."

"Too late." He muttered, and she laughed.

No guys, I haven't died! :D And I haven't left Danny Phantom for Megamind, either! I'm sorry about all my obsessing over him, but he is AWESOME. That movie has soooo many fanfiction plot ideas it's insane. :D It's like Despicable Me with romance and a hotter character. XD But no, I have not forgotten my beloved Danny! I'm still working on 100 Oneshots and Danny Phantom of the Opera, so don't worry! I'm also thinking of making a valentine oneshot – anyone wanna give me some ideas? :)

Anyway, thanks for being so patient, guys. I've been really busy so I haven't had much time to write. :) Thanks!
