-- Author’s Note -- Hello again, and thank you all for reviewing! I don’t think I’ve ever had so many reviews in one day! I would also like to give a special thanks to samanddanny and Kraven the Hunter for their great ideas. Here is the latest chapter, which I hope you all enjoy. For now, happy reading and even happier reviewing. I’ll see you soon in the next chapter.

DISCLAIMER THINGY: I do not own Danny Phantom; if I did I would probably be rich. I do not own the Danny Phantom characters; if I did I probably wouldn't be in school either. I do own the idea behind this fanfic and that's it.

Chapter 2 Another Halfa?

"SAM!" Danny and Tucker yelled at the same time.

"I'm going ghost!" Danny yelled transforming.

Just as he was about to jump into the portal after her, Sam came flying out. Danny instead took off after her and caught her before she hit the wall.

"Sam? Sam wake up," Danny said laying her down on the ground and changing back.

"She's out cold. We better take her up to your room," Tucker said.

Sam groaned as she opened her eyes. What had happened? She could hardly remember.

"Sam? Are you all right?" Danny asked. He was sitting next to her on his bed.

"Why am I in your bed Danny?" Sam asked the first thing that came to mind, and then started blushing realizing what she just asked and where she was.

"Something pulled you into the Ghost Zone and spit you back out. You've been out cold for a few hours now."

"What time is it?"

"Almost 3 a.m."

"What?"

"Don't worry. I called your parents and told them that we had a project we were working on and they said it was all right for you to sleep over."

"Where's Tucker?" she asked sitting up. Lying down was starting to give her a headache.

"He went home at about 10:30 when his parents called."

"Have you been sitting here this whole time?"

Danny nodded, and she suddenly felt completely embarrassed.

"Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry Danny."

"Don't worry Sam. It's not your fault. Are you feeling any better?"

"Yeah. What was that thing in the portal?"

"We don't know."

"What's wrong?" Sam asked reading the worried look on Danny's face.

"Sam, there's something I have to tell you," he said turning away. Why was he embarrassed? Sam thought. Then her heart skipped a beat. He couldn't be trying to tell her that he liked her, could he?

Sam had started getting weird feelings for Danny every since they started high school, but she was sure that things would never change from just being friends so she had to hide her feelings. Could it be possible that he feels the same way about me?

"You can tell me anything Danny. What is it?"

"Sam... I-I..." Danny paused and frowned. He sighed and continued, "Something happened when you got sucked into the portal. Tuck thinks that it might be because humans can't enter the Ghost Zone without that Specter Speeder. It most likely has some kind of barrier built it or something."

"I'm not following you Danny."

He took another deep breath. "Sam, just know that I'm here for you and we'll work through this together."

"Work through what?"

"Sam, when you came out of the portal you... Well, you were ghost."

"Huh?"

"You had transformed."

"But I don't have ghost powers. How could I have transformed?"

"Tuck thinks that something happens when a human enters the Ghost Zone. Nothing happened when you guys went in on the Specter Speeder because it probably has a barrier or shield to protect the people inside it."

"Then why didn't anything happen to you when you transformed back into a human inside the Ghost Zone?"

"Because I was already a Halfa."

Sam pulled her knees in close and hugged them, deep in thought. Could she really have ghost powers like Danny? Maybe it was just a freak thing. But what if it wasn't? Did she even want to be a Halfa? She already had enough problems at home; she really didn't need this too. What if her parents found out?

"Sam?"

A tear began to fall down her cheek.

"It's all right Sam," Danny said pulling her close into an embrace. "Tucker and I are here for you and if something did happen and you are part ghost now I'll help you through it. Okay?"

Sam was now completely balling into Danny's shoulder but she managed to give a small nod. He rubbed her back and told her it was okay until she stopped crying.

"Better?"

Sam nodded then went slightly pink. Danny had been holding her, comforting her. Had Danny ever seen her cry before? Was he doing it because he cared about her as more than a friend, or just because they were friends?

"It's all right Sam. Don't be embarrassed, everyone cries sometime. And I'll always be here for you to cry to whenever you need me."

She smiled, "Thank you Danny."

"Okay now, I think we should get some sleep. We have school in the morning, and then after school Tucker's going to try and figure out a way to test and see if you really are a Halfa or not, all right?"

"Yeah. That sounds like a plan."

"Okay, I'm gonna go sleep on the couch if you need me," Danny said standing up and heading over to the door. He stopped and turned to look at her. "Good night Sam, sleep tight."

"Good night Danny," she said as he shut the door behind him.

Sam listened to his footsteps going downstairs. After they had stopped she sighed aloud.

"This is way to much to deal with right now. However, on the bright side I'm in Danny's bed," she giggled to herself. She laid down and curled up under the covers. She breathed in deep and smelled nothing but Danny. This was surely heaven, at least until morning.
