Chapter 25: Reunited
Previously
However, before either girl or Wulf could say anything, they suddenly heard the sound of an engine.
"Do you hear something?..."Star asked and Sam smiled.
"I think I know this sound..."Sam said, feeling hopeful.
Just then, the Specter Speeder soon arrived, landing before them and both girls saw who was piloting it.
"Danny!..."Sam and Star both exclaimed happily.
They're saved!
Once the Specter Speeder had landed, both Danny and Tucker had gotten out of the flying vehicle.
"Sam? Star?..."Danny shouted as he got out.
"DANNY!..."Both of them ran towards Danny, but, to Sam's disappointment, he hugged Star.
Sam wasn't the only one disappointed.
"And Tucker...I came too, just so you know..."The tech geek muttered but was ignored.
Danny and Star were still hugging.
"I made it..." He said in an apologetic tone. "I'm sorry it took so-"He was cut off by Star giving him a quick kiss on the lips.
Once she parted, she said this.
"It's okay... Danny-Boo." Star said. "I never lost faith..." She said as she still hugged him tightly.
That's when she realized something.
Sam.
She's probably sad to see this. Star sent a look to the goth, who was trying hard to act like she didn't care, when she obviously did.
It made Star feel a little sorry for her, all things considering.
She parted from Danny.
"I think you should let Sam know you're happy to see her too..."She said to her boyfriend.
Danny saw Sam and smiled, who smiled back. They hugged, though not as affectionately as his hug with Star.
"I'm glad you're okay too." Danny said as he hugged his best female friend.
Sam, seeing Star, saw her give a smile and nod.
Feeling some level of gratitude, Sam parted.
"Okay... don't keep your lady waiting..."Sam said after reluctantly letting go.
Danny was unsure, but decided to go back to Star and hug her again.
With Danny's back to Sam, Star mouthed "Thank You" to her, which Sam smiled at.
It was then that Danny notice the presence of Wulf.
"Wulf! Long time no see, buddy..."Danny said happily upon seeing his ghostly friend.
"Saluton mia amiko..."Wulf said.
"Saluton mia amiko..."Danny said in Esperanto before Wulf licked him, covering his own face with his drool.
Star blinked in surprise as she saw her boyfriend speak Esperanto to the ghostly werewolf.
"He keeps surprising me..."Star thought in almost amusement as she saw Danny reconnect with the large ghost.
"How did you guys managed to find us so fast?..."Sam asked suddenly.
"We used the Specter Speeder and tried to follow the directions you sent us...we were on our way to the cave but saw you guys from up in the air...and here we are..."Tucker explained.
"I'm just really glad that neither of you are hurt..."Danny said, still voicing his relief.
"So, I take it that Star has already met Wulf..."Tucker couldn't help but add.
"Yeah, he was trying to help us all night and he managed to get our handcuffs off..."Star explained.
"He did? Thanks, Wulf..."Danny said in appreciation while Wulf just smiled in "it's no big deal" sort of way.
"Wait? Trying? What does that mean?..."Tucker couldn't help but ask and Sam and Star both groaned in exasperation and exhaustion.
"What happened?..."Danny asked as he got the feeling that more went on than the girls were willing to admit.
"Later...we'll tell you later...right now I just want to go home, take a hot shower and get some sleep..."A tired Sam said.
"Me too..."Star said, looking just as drained.
Before Danny could say anything about that, he suddenly remembered something when Sam said the word "home".
"Wait...what time is it?..."Danny asked and Tucker checked his PDA.
"It's almost four in the morning..."Tucker said and Danny's eyes widened as he recalled something.
Something major!
"Guys, we got to hurry and get you back to Amity park..."Danny said quickly, remembering that they still had another big problem to deal with here.
"I know...My dad must be worried sick..."Star said.
"Actually, he's not the one we should worry about...it's Colette threatening to bust you if Danny doesn't dump you..."Tucker said and Star gasped.
"WHAT?!...'Star screamed and Sam looked shock as well.
"Colette did what?!..."Star shouted, looking absolutely furious.
"I'll explain on the way but we have to get back to Amity Park and fast..."Danny said as he activated the Specter Speeder.
The quartet of teens were now in the specter speeder and soon zoomed back to Amity Park, but not before waving goodbye to Wulf.
"Bye Wulf, thanks again for your help..."Sam shouted.
"Yeah, thanks...and sorry again for trying to clobber you..."Star said sheepishly.
"Neniu granda afero, adiaŭ amikoj..."Wulf said in Esperanto as he waved goodbye.
"He said "No big deal, good bye friends..."Sam answered and Star smiled at that.
Danny soon set the coordinates and soon the race against time was on.
They had to get Star home and fast!
