Here's the very emotional part. I will make this part different from the falling blocks, while still parallels it. Review please!
Danny, Sam, Paulina, Jazz and Dash gave up searching the castle, being that there were no secret rooms they could find to escape. They all sat at the end of the table inside the main room of the castle, closest to the fireplace which was locked up. On the positive side, there was food to eat, and used the time to eat before heading to bed. The gang came to the conclusion that Valerie had probably locked them in the castle to give them a place to rest for the night without leaving her sight. They only knew it was nighttime by Sam's watch on her wrist.
"My parents are probably looking for me, thinking I pulled off some rebellious runaway scheme," Sam muttered before letting out a sigh.
"At least they're safe," Danny muttered a reply.
"At least they care," Dash said quietly. "Dad is probably too high to know I exist and Ronald... HA! Probably is glad I'm not home!"
"Papá... Mamá..." Paulina whispered quietly with worry.
"I'm sorry you guys had to be involved in this. I wish..." Danny said, before burying his face in his hands. "Ugh!"
"Danny, there's nothing you could've done to prevent this. Even if I wasn't kidnapped against my will, I would've gladly stayed by your side," Dash said, trying to comfort his friend.
"But Valerie..." Danny replied, then taking a deep breath to prevent his ghost half from panicking. "All I wanted was to explore and learn more about other worlds ghosts live in. Ever since I built that stupid portal, this prejudice against ghosts, against humans, these attacks, they keep going on and on constantly! Then, there's this Danny Phantom anti hero that's going about trying to bring order by placing ghosts back in the Ghost Zone! Valerie starts stealing my stuff to avenge her brother, Danny Phantom decides it's justice to force her into the Ghost Zone she's lucky to have survived, and I'm-"
"Wait, wait, hold the phone here!" Dash interrupted, his eyes furrowing. "First off, how do you know that Danny Phantom was sending ghosts back into the Ghost Zone? The News said he was killing them. Second, HE SENT HER TO THE GHOST ZONE!?"
"I thought he did too, but the ghosts that died were found in this world. I don't know what happened between Valerie and Danny, but my guess is that it was brutal."
"Danny, dó you kno' t'é ghost bóy?" Paulina asked.
Danny stood quiet as Sam glared directly at him, and cried out, "you knew, and you never told any of us!?"
"Like you haven't kept secrets from me!" Danny shouted in defense as Sam stared at her hands, her eyes still glaring. "If you guys wanna know, yes, I know the dude. That's why Valerie is keeping me hostage in the first place. I'm the only freakin' friend Danny's got, besides Jazz! He doesn't know anyone else. He doesn't even know his own name."
"So, the guy's got amnesia?" Dash asked, then his eyes widen. "But wait, if he doesn't know his own name, then how come..." He noticed Danny slightly blushing. "Ah, he named himself after you."
"Pretty much, but it wasn't my idea. Personally, I would've called him Albert or something. Though, the scary part is that, half the time, I don't know what he's going to do next. I just figured out, only a few days ago, that he sent Valerie into the Ghost Zone!"
"Look, I know that we keep secrets from our friends from time to time, including me, but this is stuff you need to let us know! You're getting involved in ghost activity that could get yourself killed, Danny!" Sam glared.
"I know that, Sam!"
"So, why don't you let us know about these things!?"
"Because the guy is fused inside me!" Danny shouted as everyone stood quiet for a minute, Sam's eyes widening.
Suddenly, Danny felt his heart rate pumping rapidly. Something inside him was trying to burst, and Danny, for the first time, was trying to contain it. He clutched onto his chest, his eyes beginning to turn green, which made everyone flinch.
"E-Easy..." Danny whispered, taking deep breaths. "I'm fine..." Jazz jumped out of her seat, running to her brother, then wrapping her arms around him.
"Let me try," Jazz said calmly. She began whispering into Danny's ear. "Danny Phantom, if you can hear me, please calm down. If trouble comes, my brother will give you the signal, okay."
Danny panted for several minutes, before his eyes turned back to their baby blue. He whispered, "I don't know if he can hear you... but... I think he's stopping now."
Jazz nodded, then released Danny, who sighed after, placing his head on the table. He took a deep breath, giving himself time to relax. Everyone waited for Danny to be relaxed before he finally said something.
"I was going to tell you guys about this, but... I wasn't sure when the right time would be. I was trying to keep in contact with Danny with those Ghost Earphones, trying to keep things under control before revealing what's going on. If I should've said something earlier, I'm sorry," Danny apologized, sighing deeply.
"I-It's fine... I probably was being harsher than I should have," Sam admitted, showing a sleepish smile. "I guess I can be a hypocritical control freak sometimes."
"Na, you álways líke t'át," Paulina teased as the group laughed. "Rémembér 'ów you úsed tó be só crítícal abóut me?"
"Yeah. I thought you were a shallow witch, who cared about nobody but yourself, and found the enjoyment in tormenting others," Sam admitted, still keeping her sleepish smile. Then, it disappeared, turning into a frown. "But... it was me that was a shallow witch. I thought I was doing justice by insulting and hurting you back. Here I was talking about how not judging a book by its cover, and being an individual. I ended up judging a really kind and thoughtful person harshly. If not for you, I wouldn't have realized that I was only choosing to be goth to piss off my parents, and that I was being judgmental and a fake."
Paulina chuckled, replying, "Í t'ínk we áll háve sóme rébellious escuincle ín ús."
"What's esqueaklay mean?" Dash asked confused.
"Escuincle. Ít means chíld or kíd."
"You have a weird language, and oddly, I find that kinda cute," Dash said as Paulina shyly showed some pink on her cheeks.
"Gracias."
"Awww, dat's so sweet," Danny teased as Dash kicked on on the leg. "Ow! Hey, I thought you weren't a bully anymore."
"No, because if I was, I would've hung you on a flagpole by your undies," Dash smirked as the duo laughed. "I'm glad we became friends. I thought you were like any other loser in school. Everyone was always the same, no matter what social status they were in. They all cared about what was best for them. If you didn't fit their criteria, you were no longer their friend. Friendship worked like a club membership program."
"What made you think that?"
"Well... that's how it worked with my brother and my dad. I decided that, if I was to have friends, they were going to meet my criteria. I even had Kwan sign my friendship membership card and everything. In the end, I never had a real friend... I didn't know what friendship really was."
"So, why didn't you do the same for me? Have me sign a membership card?"
Dash rested his head on his right hand, staring down at the table, picking off a piece of wood from the table. He replied, "I was, at first. Though, after standing up for Kwan and I against Bertrand, I felt that you signing that friendship membership wasn't enough. I... I didn't want it to be written down on a piece of paper that could be burned or torn in half. I wanted it to be permanent... I wanted it to be an official law that can't be broken. So... I decided to ask you in the hallway where everyone could hear it, announce it on Twitter and Facebook. I wanted to make sure that it was a promise unbroken."
"I think all of you really outdid yourselves. It seems that your companionship has made each of you who you are. The funny thing about friends, is that their influence can makeup your own person. I think Danny Phantom has done the same for Danny and I, in a sense," Jazz proclaimed.
"I think you're right. Now, that I think about it, Danny Phantom isn't as harsh as he used to be and, thanks to him, I've also grown closer to you too," Danny said, reaching his hand out to Jazz's hand. Jazz smiled, closing her hand around her brother's.
Paulina's face lit, then reached under her shit, and pulled out a black permanent marker. Dash's jaw dropped, almost crying out, "even without your purse and bag, you're still loaded!"
"W'át Star ánd Í álways dó, ás trádítion, ís wríte oúr námes down ón évery lúnch bénch we sát ón. T'én wríte 'amigas de siempre' únderné't'," Paulina said brightly.
"What's that mean? I got the 'amigos' part, but what about des iampre?"
"Ít's 'de siempre.' Fór ús, we sáy 'amigos' ínstead óf 'amigas.' 'Amigos de siempre' means 'bést frí'nds fóréver.'"
"I like it, and this table is big enough to fit in all our names," Sam thought.
Paulina smirked, then wrote her name first. She gave the marker to Sam, who then wrote her name right next to Paulina's name. Dash wrote his name on the left corner above Paulina's name, Danny wrote his name next to Dash's name, and Jazz wrote her name next to her brother's. After everyone was done, Danny took the marker, then a deep breath. He gave Danny Phantom the signal to change, everyone quietly gasping as they witnessed their friend changing into the mysterious ghost boy of Amity Park.
Danny Phantom blinked in confusion, then saw the names written on the table. He saw Jazz on his right, who said, "we've decided to write our names on this table to indicate our friendship. You're part of it."
"I... am?" Danny Phantom asked, looking back at the three of his partner's friends he had now just met, aside from Paulina several months ago.
"Danny told us about you. We're in this together, all of us," Sam assured.
"But... you don't know me, other than me being inside Danny."
"Well, I suppose we should get started then. I'm Dash Baxter, these are our friends, Sam Mansion, and Paulina Sanchez," Dash said, as they all shook Danny Phantom's hand.
Danny Phantom smiled, then said quietly, "thank you... so much." He turned and signed his name 'Danny Phantom/Prince of the Realm of the Dead.'
Dash peeked over Danny's shoulder, replying, "Realm of the Dead? Is that what the Ghost Zone is called?"
"Yep."
"That's a stupid name."
Danny Phantom shrugged, "you get used to it." He gave Paulina back her marker as she wrote 'AMEGOS DE SIEMPRE' in all capitals under the names before placing a circle around all of them. She then placed the marker back inside her bosom.
