Danny opened his eyes to discover that he was lying on the floors of Casper
High. Oh god. I had the weirdest, most vivid dream. Let's see. Sam touched
my forehead and we were transported to a forest, then we saw a stone...or,
no, we saw some people...some ghosts...Ughhh... I don't remember.
"What happened?" he asked Tucker, who was looking down at him. "Did I fall asleep or something? Did I hit my head? What happened, Tuck?" that's when he noticed that Sam was on the floor beside him, eyes shut. "WHAT HAPPENED?"
"Well," mumbled Tucker, "I'd love to know that myself. You and Sam were standing here, discussing your...mark, when you both froze for a second, and fainted on to the floor. That was about 30 seconds ago. I've been waiting for you to wake up or something. You guys have to go to the nurse or something. You look horrible."
"But won't she notice...?" Danny gestured towards his head.
"Well, a minute ago, I would have said she would, but while you were on the floor, it faded and vanished. I can't explain any of this. Let me tell you, our normal routine goes against all the science I've come to trust, but this defies all the laws even more. Don't expect me to be able to answer most of this."
Sam moaned. Danny rushed over to her. "Are you okay? Sam, are you alright?" Danny looked at her with a concerned face. He fought with the astonishingly strong urge to lift up her face and hug her. He mentally slapped himself. Danny, he thought, what are you doing? "Should we do something with her?" he asked Tucker.
"Yeah," said Tucker. "Ask her what happened to you guys." He looked at Danny pointedly.
"Oh." Danny blushed sheepishly. "Right. Well...I'm not quite sure what happened. Perhaps if Sam woke up all of the way she could tell us. But I don't know how to get her up..."
"You know," said Tucker. "I've been thinking about this. You could go INTO Sam...and you know, wake her up...or something. I don't think it would be violating anything. And do it fast, the hallways never stay deserted for very long."
So Danny looked around, to make sure absolutely no one was coming. "I'm going ghost, Tuck, cover me." Danny pulled from his mind the familiar sensation he was looking for, and shut his eyes to the blinding blue glare that erupted every time he became a ghost. He walked over to Sam, and simply dived into her being. Suddenly, he was Sam, lying on the floor with his eyes closed. He opened them slowly, so as not to cause a shock to her system. What had happened? He knew she would know. Suddenly he caught a flash of memory from inside her mind. A huge forest, trees...he snapped back. He could do that? Access her thoughts? He could check, just for a second, just a peek...he dived into her memories. Danny, Danny, Danny, what would she think about him. Images of him flashed by, with happy or angry or...some strange emotion he couldn't place...all of her thoughts were colored with feeling.
"Danny?" Tucker whispered. "Shouldn't you come out now?"
"...right." Danny was embarrassed to be caught inside Sam still. He quickly floated away from her.
Sam's voice shook the hall. She screamed.
"Sam...It's okay, you're okay." Danny ran to her, and again fought with the strange craving to hold her. "What do you remember?"
"I was in a wood, and there was a stone, and a mark, and ghosts, and...Danny! You were with me! We were there, and you were sad, and..." her voice trailed off, leaving a bewildered look on her face.
Danny gasped. "It really did happen!"
Sam fainted again.
"What happened?" he asked Tucker, who was looking down at him. "Did I fall asleep or something? Did I hit my head? What happened, Tuck?" that's when he noticed that Sam was on the floor beside him, eyes shut. "WHAT HAPPENED?"
"Well," mumbled Tucker, "I'd love to know that myself. You and Sam were standing here, discussing your...mark, when you both froze for a second, and fainted on to the floor.
