TEARDROPS on a LOVE LETTER

Chapter 14
THE ULTIMATE LOVE

Part 4
THE LOVE GHOST


"Huh?" Danny moaned. "Where am I? Is this the Ghost Zone?"

After being knocked down by Vlad during their battle, Danny found himself somewhere in the deepest corners of the Ghost Zone. He found himself lying near a lake.

As he stood up, he asked himself, "How did I get in here? Is this a dream?"

Suddenly, a voice answered his question. "No, my boy."

As Danny turned around where he stood to find the voice, he spotted someone whom he have met. It was his ancestor, the Ghost of Love.

"Valentin! It's so nice to see you again!" Danny gave his ol' great-granddad a hug. "Oh, Daniel! It's nice to see you too!"

When they pulled out, Danny asked, "So, what am I doing here? Is this a dream?"

Valentin responded, "No, Danny. Your ghost half travelled here. Your physical body remains on Earth, and an invisible link connects your ghost half with your physical self."

"Whoa." Danny said. "Is that, like, ghost ability?"

Valentin answered, "Very close. But this is more like a psychic ability."

"All right. So what am I doing here?" Danny asked.

Valentin then said, "Danny Phantom, the world is in danger. You must end Vlad Plasmius before your world crumbles before him. But defeating him will not be easy. Your friends are there, your ghost aliies are present. But this is insufficient to take down Vlad's army. You will need something special."

Danny asked, "Then how am I gonna defeat that crazy fruit loop and that space ghost?"

Valentin's eyes widened as he heard that familiar name. "Space Ghost? Cosmos?"

"You know him?" Danny asked, his eyes widened as well, discovering that his great granddad knew him.

"I know that ghost! He was one of the greatest space explorers in the world when he was alive!" Valentin exclaimed.

"But why is he in space? What happened to him?" Danny asked.

Valentin raised his hand and showed Danny one cosmic revelation: The Life of Lance Romero.

Cosmos is a Greek word for Universe. He was a previous astronaut, with the name Lance Romero. He was then the greatest space explorer of his time, discovering asteroids, visiting the moon, and the first man to set foot on Mars. Because of his prominence in the field of astronomy, his other associates hated him so much.

They formulated a plan to get rid of Lance. One time, they asked him to do some maintenance outside the International Space Station, despite the risk of an electro-magnetic storm approaching the space station. His other crew members were safe inside the station while he was burned alive during the storm.

His death was covered up by his co-workers, stating that he insisted on repairing the station, despite being warned by them about the storm. On his funeral, instead of being honored as a hero, he was mocked and called a "fame-stealer" by his co-workers.

Seeking revenge for his humiliation and eventual death, he never went into the light. He instead remained in the Ghost Zone for a long time, before moving into space to live where he used to work.

He explored the vast universe in search for his body, since the storm never vaporized his body and suit. He eventually found his body in a large asteroid, 500,000 kilometers away from Earth. After overshadowing his space suit, he lived in that asteroid. After news broke out that his co-workers eventually died, his hatred for them eventually faded, and he forever felt sorry for them.

As he was about to change his life and return to the Ghost Zone, he discovered a human-ghost like form floating towards his position. It was Vlad, and he was severely wounded, brought by his collision with the Disasteroid. A humble and generous man, Cosmos helped Vlad get back on his feet, since he didn't see any evil intentions with the half-ghost. After Vlad recovered, he persuaded Cosmos to team up with him to take over the Earth and defeat Danny. Cosmos, at first, did not accept. But when Vlad promised him half of the Earth if they succeeded in taking over it, he accepted. And so, he partnered with Vlad and formulated a plan to capture Danny.

Since then, he went into the Earth, and disguised as an ordinary person. Upon knowing that Danny is very fond of space and he aspires to become an astronaut one day, Cosmos disguised himself as Maverick, and was employed at the Houston-7 Mission Control. Eventually, he became the new head of the control, and that was the time he started his plans to bring Danny to Vlad.

"You gotta be kidding me!" Danny was shocked by this revelation. "Oh, that fruit loop! He even influenced one innocent ghost's mind! I have to fight him! But how am I gonna do it?"

Valentin raised his hand, and showed Danny an image of a red heart. "So, what does that picture wants to tell me?" Danny asked.

"You have a very special ability, Danny", Valentin said. "This is a very special ability, only you have this kind of power."

"What is it?" Danny asked.

"LOVE."

This single word made Danny confused. "Love? That's it? That's my special ability?"

"You wanna know how this works?" Valentin said. "Think about all the people you love the most. Think about your happy memories with them."

After closing his eyes, Danny did remember his family, and all those ghost hunting fun they had. Suddenly, Danny's aura glow whiter and whiter. When Danny opened his eyes, he was frightened by a very bright light.

"Relax, Danny. It's just you. Look!" Valentin said. Danny looked himself in the waters, to his shock. "Aah! Why am I so bright?"

"See?" Valentin said. "The power of love increases, or in some cases, multiplies your ghost energy. Now, try thinking about your girl."

Danny closed his eyes once again and tried to think about Sam. He remembered all those fun and happy memories of him and Sam.

There were going to school memories, movie nights, meddling with the Fentons, ghost hunting, flying above the air, defeating a ghost in a video game, catching Skulker, scaring the hell out of Vlad, falling down the train and saving her, getting the DP emblem, getting jealous of Paulina and Valerie, when he gets jealous of Gregor, stupid guys in white trying to catch them, when they set Wulf free, when they had the same dream.

"Now slowly, Danny, open your eyes," Valentin said softly. When Danny looked himself in the water, he was more frightened. "AAAAAHHHHH! My eyes!"

"Relax! It means the energy has increased. Can you feel the power?"

"Yes, but not just power. I can feel love!" Danny exclaimed.

"Excellent! Now, there is just one more thing to do. Close your eyes and remember the happiest moment in your life with Sam."

Once more, Danny closed his eyes and thought of the happiest memory of him with his Goth Girl. But instead, Danny enters a flashback.

Sam walks up to Danny, hands over the class ring into his open palm.

"It's the ring you were going to give Valerie. You asked me to hold it for you, remember?" Flipping the ring to reveal the "SAM" engraved onto the ring, Sam continues, "Something tells me that it was really meant for me."

"Take it with you. But promise that you'll bring it back. If you promise, then, then I know I'll see you again."

Danny was unsure of what to tell his best friend. "If we make it through this…" Sam interrupts and corrects him. "When we make it through this…"

"Right. When… we get through this….I have a few things I need to talk to you about."

Sam takes Danny's hands. "I think I'd be willing to listen. And no matter how this thing ends… this whole ride we've been on together, I wouldn't change it for the world. Not one bit."

Danny lets go of Sam's hands and holds her arms. "Me neither. I…"

Danny was interrupted by a kiss on his cheek by Sam, to which the ghost boy places his hand on Sam's chin and raises his face. In an instant, their lips met in the first passionate kiss they ever had.

Danny's flashback fades into another one.

Danny, upon learning of Sam's doubts about the future of their friendship, rejected her statements. "Oh, I wouldn't count on that."

Danny takes out the "wes" ring and places it on Sam's finger. "Sam, I couldn't have done any of this without you." Sam's eyes began teary, at the sight of her best friend promising to cherish their love.

"And I don't care what's coming next. I just hope that…whatever it is…you're there to share it with me."

After looking at the ring for a short moment, Sam said, "I will be. I just need to warn you. I'm no push-over, you know! I still have my own way of doing things."

Danny smiled and responded, "That's what I'm counting on!"

Danny held both Sam's hands and they both leaned for a sweet kiss.

"Danny? DANNY!" A voice snapped Danny out of his flashbacks. "Are you okay?"

"Huh? Yeah. I just entered a flashback, about me and Sam." Danny said.

"Well, that's excellent! Flashbacks are more effective than thinking or remembering!" Valentin said. "Now, try using your Ghostly Wail and your ice powers at the same time."

"Wait!" Danny stopped. "I can't do two powers at once!"

"You can now." Valentin stood back as Danny looked into the ghost space. Danny collected all those ghost energy he got from love, and used it to launch two of his powers.

In an instant, Danny opened his mouth and unleashed a destructive wail into the ghost space. But what shocked him most is that his wail contained small particles of ice, which formed a cone. That cone floated away from them.

"WHOA!" Danny exclaimed. "I CAN DO THAT?"

"You can now, thanks to love." Valentin said. "But you have to return to the human world and save your planet, and your loved ones."

Giving his new mentor a bow and a hug, Danny said, "Thank you very much, for making me realize the power of love."

Valentin said, "Well, that's my ultimate duty. And that is to spread the power of love."

Valentin raised his hand while Danny began to ascend, while a bright light pulls him back onto his almost lifeless body.


NICKSTER a.k.a THE PROBLEMATIQUE ONE, #018
Chapter 14 Part 4, Teardrops on a Love Letter

Space. SPACE! SPAAAAAAAAAACCCEEEE! I'm in space!
What's your favorite thing about space? Mine is space.
Space space wanna go to space yes please space. Space space. Go to space.

(Space Obsessed Personality Core, Portal 2)

Hello, guys! To be honest, I'm still waiting for updates from my favorite stories!

Yeah, maybe I'm also thinking to stop writing fanfictions after I finished my Love Letter story. I don't know if it's worth the writing if there are only few fanfiction readers. I just noticed that my latest chapter only received one single review. Maybe I'll just finish this quickly, and leave Danny Phantom fanfics for a while.

Some of you aren't even reading my vanity cards. Well, I'm not forcing you to read my (sometimes nonsense) messages, but I just want to share my own thoughts. Danny Phantom has been my favorite show and character for almost, since from the beginning. Fanarts, fanfics, blogging and videos are what keeps me strong.

I just think of Sienna. I think of her as Sam. I think of myself as Danny. I can fly her above, I can catch ghosts with her, and I can take her to the Ghost Zone (if there was one on Earth).

Please let me know if you still want Danny Phantom fanfic stories. If not, I'll just finish this one. Fighting For Love was just beginning, I can simply terminate it.

Please, help me think and decide.

The Problematique One, out.
