A/N: All righty, I think I may know a way that Danny and Skye get together,
but in chapter twenty one. All right? So hold your horses! ^__^ I mean that
in the best sense of course.

To 2001!
It was now eight fifteen and was pitch dark outside. We were now walking down a long, deserted road. I was left alone since Mallory had forced Rafe to let her get on his shoulders yet again. My warm pink house slippers tickled at my feet and I trembled. I wasn't cold, I was scared to death. Danny walked alongside me.
"Are you afraid, Skye?" he whispered suddenly. I almost denied it, I really tried to.
"Yes…" I stammered. Without warning his hand dropped down to mine and clutched mine in his. I felt my face turn bright red. I was especially glad that Allen didn't notice. He and Austin and Alden were too busy whispering about something or other.
Danny yawned and ran his other hand through his hair. My mind was screaming crazy thoughts. For some reason I was really, really embarrassed. Maybe it was because Danny knew I was scared.
I pasted on a happy expression as we rounded the corner into the elementary school's parking lot. We tramped over the sand and to the playground equipment. I sat down on the merry-go-round with Mallory. The boys went to play on the swings, jumping off in "radical" new tricks. Rafe and Evelyn were drawing with their fingers in the sand.
Danny suddenly grabbed hold of the handles on the side of the merry-go- round. Mallory and I looped our arms through as he begun spinning it. We squealed quietly, not wanting to wake anybody up who might be asleep nearby.
At nine o'clock we made our way home. We were going to see Blinking Angel.
*-*-*-*-*-*-*
I stared around the edge of the tree next to our tent. The angel statue stood tall on the other side of the cemetery. "I see it!" I hissed. We had split into pairs. I was with Mallory. Alden and Allen were partners, along with Rafe and Evelyn (duh) and Danny and Austin.
Mallory and I were the first team to make our way over to the angel. She held my hand tightly. My heart was pounding. I was ready to scream. It didn't help that wild dogs ran through the cemetery at night. Or so my cousins said. Still, I didn't doubt them.
My feet slapped softly on the grass. Mallory's fingers were practically digging into my skin. I was about to turn around and run back. But I couldn't do it. We were halfway there.
The statue was only a few feet away now. Soon we were right in front of it. We were supposed to touch it. I raised my hand and…
IT BLINKED.
My mind screamed in panic, and so did I. Mallory screamed too, and the others screamed. I began running, dodging other stones. I collapsed when we reached the camp site.
"What happened?!" Allen asked. I shivered. I found my voice.
"I dunno…just blinked…blinked! I never go back…ever…if you want…" I stammered. Everyone shook their heads. Mallory had tears running down her cheeks and Evelyn was trying to calm her. I sighed sadly.
"Going to sleep now," I shuddered. I scuttled into the tent. Everyone reluctantly followed me. No one wanted to go and be blinked at. So we separated the girls and the guys by hanging up a blanket, and fell asleep.
-*-*-*-*-*-*-
The next day at nine thirty we were heading back home in the back of the truck. I was still tired, so I laid up against the back of the cab and fell asleep.
*-*-*-*-*
Well, yeah. The ending was a little…iffy, but it's okay? Ah well. See ya later, and be looking forward to the "special event" that I mentioned in my author's note. Only since you asked, *cough* Jules and AngelD *cough* Just kidding. Well, seeya next time!
Til Then,
Skye Rocket
