Hey Y'all! Long time no see! Not my fault! Not my fault! Well... it kinda is but.. Anyway I have to apologize now- updates will be coming WAY slower. School starts soon (oh God, I too old. I'm in the big leagues now) and I'm writing other stuff. I know you all love this story, but I WANT TO GET PUBLISHED LIKE, SERIOUSLY! So I'm working with a LOT of people and putting in a LOT of time to try and make that happen. Also, I still need to start writing the sequal to this book (holy crap I have too many ideas!) so it's all just kinda hectic. Oh, and I also had friends over. For like, three days. hehehehehehe... sorry. Anyway, so I was talking to my manager JT, and he asked me about deviant art. Meaning "I want to see some pictures up!" And I laughed because my art sucks. People might say it's good, but I get a lot of crap about it too. So I made him a deal- if I get five separate pieces of fanart (legit, I know you guys think your drawing skills suck, but I promise you I don't judge.) Then I will start putting my own crappy drawing on my account. But seriously, I want to see the stuff you guys have before I post. You might not know this but I am REALLY shy about my work. LOL. So yeah. If 5 people send me drawings (I swear I will not take credit for any of it- I hate when people do that) then I will show you some of my work. Deal? I hope so. And also, those who participate in this will get rewards- more then just virtual cookies. I'm not entirely sure what I'll do, but I'll think of something! BTW- I REALLY want to see you guys draw/digitally animate/whatever you want to call it, Liz. You only see her as I wrote her- I want to know what you see in your mind! I will show you my (really bad) drawings of her! Ha, but seriously, I write, skateboard, eat, and watch TV more then I practice my arts skills. Ok, I'm done now!
WARNING! The beginning of this chapter is confusing- if you feel uncomfortable please, keep reading. I swear it's not what it looks like!
This chapter is dedicated too... AIDANG20633!

This story is super exciting. I'm SO psyched for the next chapter! You are an AWESOME FanFiction writer!

longest comment was... BLOOD BLOSSOM 88!
To the questions, IDK why the TMNT are stalking you. They're creepers. Jkjk! It's probably cuz it's a funny long-term prank/joke. :P And i think Liz will either be naughty (o.0) or it'll be some funny thing like Scrabble. XD
Didn't expect BB to be good at metal works. I always thought he bought that box. XD
Great chapter though! I'm happy we listen to the same music! Means you and I got good taste. XP Considering no one gives you any cookies back just shows what man kind is coming to. XD (::)(::)(::)(::)(::)(::)[::] wait... That's a waffle...

And the FIRST comment was... ALEXISWRITESFANFICTION!
This is my favorite fan fiction of all time! You are such an amazing writer. I have no clue why the TMNT are stalking you, but it seems pretty creepy. And what Liz and Beastboy are going to do in the room... scrabble? I really have no clue. I can't wait until you update again. I love this fic!

The comment I just want to show of is... DARKVENGER1!
hmm I wonder what she and Beast Boy will do, it's probably just playing video games, however just so you know I"m sure every guy that read that had their minds in the gutter. I"m sure that wasn't your intention though lol. Good luck on the next chapter, and about your TMNT problems, Turtles like green veggies, so I suggest carrying around a cabbage., Anyway, see ya around
Bro, I wrote that, knowing what would happen, and the dirty thoughts were still in my head! XD. It actually WAS my intention- but only to screw with your guys' heads! haha! (::)
OK, now that all that ^^^^^^ is done, I now present to you, your dinner! Uhh... I mean chapter 38!
I stood outside my bedroom door- too scared to actually open it and see what was on the other side.
The titans and I had returned about and hour ago- after three hours of fighting some guy named Doctor Light. He was basically a hybrid of box ghost, Techness, and a human. II would have thought we'd be able to take him down sooner- evidently it was Robin who normally took him down.
So we finally got him in the back of a cop car and were on our way home. I had hurried up to my room to hear Liz's story about the night before. When the door was closed, I didn't care. When it looked like the lights were dim, it barely bothered me.
It was the noises coming from the other side of the door that had had me frozen in place for almost thirty minutes.
Bed springs creaked loudly and constantly. Music was playing softly- however it was rock music, with a lively beat and a loud bass. And Liz. She was laughing, a lot.
"Wow Liz!" Beast Boy said, laughter in his voice. "I had no idea you had this... side to you!"
"There are lot's of things you don't know about me!" Liz giggled back.
"Girl, you got a naughty side to you!"
"I don't count this as 'naughty'."
Beast boy paused for a moment. "Why are we doing this behind Danny's back? I mean what if he finds out!?"
"Why are you concerned?"
"Liz, if he saw us doing this," They both sounded out of breath. "I would be the next topping on Cy's meat lovers pizza."
"We are only doing this without him because he would never let me do it with him! If I'm going to die, I want to go out with a bang, ya know?"
"Is this the bang you want to go out on?"
There was no more talking after that. Just laughing, gasps, panting, and bed spring groans.
God what were they doing in there! It had better be scrabble, or BB wasn't kidding about Cy's pizza.
I was about to simply walk in and find out what they were doing, when I heard a zipper, and the sound of fabric sliding on fabric.
Suddenly- "Oh. Ouch. God Beast Boy, can you please be a little more gentle next time?"
"I'm sorry!" He squeaked. "It didn't break, did it?"
Liz giggled. "No. It's too big and hard for that."
That was it. With no other way to announce my presence, I simply threw the door open. I have to admit, I was not prepared for what I saw.
"Oh. Hi Danny!" Liz said, as if nothing was wrong.
My jaw hit the floor.
"Tell me this isn't what it looks like." I begged, closing my eyes. I opened them again to see that, unfortunately, it was.
"It's uh... not what it looks like?" Beast boy said quietly from where he was kneeling on the bed.
"Get out." I looked at the little green teen. "Get out right now." I watched as the kid scurried out of the room.
"Danny!" Liz said disapprovingly. She got up off the coffee table where she had been laying. "That was harsh."
I didn't answer. All I said was "You too are in so much trouble."
She smirked. "OK dad. Ground me- send me to my room if you want- that's basically all I can do now anyway."
"I can not believe you would do that with someone other then me!"
Liz sighed and unzipped her jacket- the sound of the zipper very familiar.
"OK, ok. I'm sorry! But you wouldn't do it with me!"
"Because I didn't want you to get hurt!"
"Don't get mad! Beside, Beast Boy didn't hurt me."
I rolled my eyes. "Tell that to the dent in the coffee table."
"Why is this such an issue?"
"Are you kidding me!? You went behind my back to do this- were you even going to tell me?"
Liz crossed her arms over her chest. "It's kinda hard to hide it."
"You were going to try though, weren't you?"
"No, actually. I wasn't. I figured that once you saw I didn't care if you thought it was a bad idea and I was going to do it anyways, you might join in."
"Uh, I kinda don't want you to get hurt. So you were wrong there."
"Danny!" Liz snapped, raising her voice to match mine. "Can you please explain to me why you're so pissed off that Beast Boy and I made a freaking fort?"
I looked around the room. "Ok, let's take a look at the big picture here. Every single pillow, mattress, blanket, soft thing in general from the whole tower is right there." I pointed to the pyramid that had been constructed around my bed- the mattresses looking like bricks. "This room is trashed with empty pizza boxes, chip bags, and other wrappers and stuff. Oh, and where did you get that outfit?!"
Liz looked down at what she was wearing. "It's one of your old uniforms." She said quietly. "Beast Boy and I got board and I promised him I'd show him some fun. So we just played a game. We built the mattress tower and filled the center with pillows and stuff. I put on your old uniform for fun. You told me you wouldn't build something like this with me because you were scared I would get hurt while bouncing."
She looked up at me with soft and apologetic green eyes.
"I just wanted to play the game again!"
"You played Damsel in Distress with BB? Liz, I thought that was our game. And now you were letting Beast Boy rescue you?"
Liz smiled slightly. "No. Danny Phantom was always the hero- I was saving Beast boy."
That would explain why he ran out of the room in a skirt...
Before I could apologize for over reacting, Liz went on. "If I'm going to die in the next seven days Danny, I wanted to feel like a hero just on more time."
"Stop." I demanded. "Stop saying that! Stop saying you're going to die, ok? Because you won't. Not this week, not next week, not for a long long time!"
"Danny, I don't think you understand,"
"I understand that you're giving up!" I cut her off. "And that's not something that my girlfriend does. She doesn't give up on an algebra test, she doesn't give up when fighting a ghost, she doesn't give up on her friends, and she never ever ever gives up on herself."
"Danny," She sounded slightly annoyed.
I took her hand in mine instead of letting her finish. "When is it going to get across to you that I won't let you go?"
"Stop acting like it's your choice!" She yelled.
Liz never yelled at me.
"Let's get real Danny," She said angrily. "Do I look like a girl my age should?"
The truth was, she really didn't. She had always been skinny, but now it was like she had never eaten anything in her life. Her face was hollow, her eyes lost. Liz's hair was dull and lifeless- it had long since lost it's normal shine. She didn't look like a healthy teenager should- she looked... well...
"I look dead, don't I?" She voiced my thoughts exactly. "D-E-A-D dead Danny. I am hopeless, I am weak, and I am dying."
"Are you listening to yourself?" I yelled back. "You of all people know that there is ALWAYS hope!"
"That's a lie Danny!" She was mad now. "Hope is some mythical, made up word that was invented to help children sleep at night. Hope is what they tell people when a war happens, when they realize a family went broke, or when someone got themselves in the hospital. And ya know, maybe other people can have hope. Maybe other people can sit there and 'hope for the best' of simply have hope that things will get better. But how can we do that Danny? How can we 'hope for the best' when even the 'best' is hopeless?" She laughed sarcastically. "There is no best to hope for! Not for us anyway!"
"Really? Liz, you can't say that! Think about your past- did you hope your parents would love you? Yes, and your dad did, a lot. And when you went to the orphanage didn't you hope you would be adopted and maybe have a normal life? Yes! You got adopted and life got better! Did you ever hope that maybe there was someone somewhere out there who was just as confused as you were- who faced the same challenges you did? I know you did because I did. When you came to Amity Park, did you hope you might get to see Jessica and Derek again? Of course- you told me so! Did you hope we would be able to escape the Guys In White? Yes. And did we? Yes."
"I also hoped that they would leave us alone." She argued. "That didn't happen. I hope that Dani and Leo may come back someday- that won't happen. I hoped that the Titans would have been able to protect us- well, that clearly did not work. I hoped that I would be able to spend the rest of my life with you, and that's just impossible, now isn't it?"
I shook my head. "No Liz, it is possible! I promise you, it is. You can hold on, you can fight what ever the guys in white did to you! I love you Liz, I love you so, so much! My life physically could not go on if you died! You... you can't leave me!"
"Stop making this about you!" Liz shouted. "Do you think I want to leave you? God Danny that very thought has terrified me for as long as I've known you!I'm only 16 and over half my life has been torture! You think I'm not fighting? Every single morning, I wake up, and am amazed that I did. Everyday it's a challenge, and you know why? Because every second of every minute of every hour I can feel my life force getting dimmer and dimmer. I can feel parts of me breaking off and dying. You are the one and only reason I'm standing here. You think I want to leave you?"
"You saved my life- more times then I can count."
"You saved me too."
"You are my best friend."
Liz was quiet. "You're my best friend too Danny. But look at the facts, everyone I love or care about, leaves or has to be left. My dad, Amity Park, Sam, Tucker, Dani, Leo, Derek, and Jessica. Even the fish I had when I was five left."
"He died?"
"Nope. Jess, Derek and I went to the ocean and we stowed away in my water bottle. He's in the ocean now."
I looked down at my girlfriend. We were both mad from yelling, yet sorry for doing it. I, however, needed to blow off steam. Maybe beating Beast Boy into a bloody pulp would make me feel better...
"Give up on yourself if you want Liz," I said, turning so my back was to her. "But I won't. And I would never leave you."
With those as my parting words, and a bitter taste in my mouth, I left my room, closing the door tightly behind me.
