-- Authors Note -- In honor of the new episode of Danny Phantom, I present to you, a new chapter! Yey! ::waves two small flags, one says I love Danny! and the other says I love Sam!:: Did anyone else notice on the nick.com e-collectables of Danny Phantom that Jazzs card said that she knew about Dannys ghostly secret? I thought it was a misprint or something. It was totally a great episode though! Now, Id like to thank Lonestarr for giving me the author and title of the work I got the idea for the last chapter from. The story was Phantom Lover by Cherry-Wolf, which is another great story. All right, on with the chapter!
Chapter 6 Disappearing Act
Sam couldn't focus on any of her classes that morning. She was too busy thinking about what had happened last night. It took her until nearly midnight to finally be able to turn herself invisible. It had been well worth it though in her mind.
She snuck out of her house and headed back over to Danny's. Once there she transformed and went invisible before climbing up to Danny's window and sneaking in.
Originally she was only going to look around his room, but when she watched him climb into bed she couldn't help herself, she climbed in with him. When he whispered her name she thought for sure that he knew it was her, but he fell asleep right after that.
She stayed with him like that for a few hours, drifting somewhere between sleep and consciousness. Around five in the morning she got up and proceeded to look around his room. There wasn't anything really interesting, at least until she started digging through his trash. She found a piece of paper that looked like Danny had started working on his homework, only given up half way through only to fill the rest of the page with 'Sam.' She just couldn't help herself. Taking a pencil from his desk she added 'and Danny' along with a heart.
At this time it was nearly six and Danny had begun to stir. Sam dropped the paper on the floor and snuck out of his window before heading home.
By lunch she could barely keep her eyes open. She still wasn't really sure if Danny felt the same way about her. Yeah, he had whispered her name, and written it all over his paper. But he was worried about her, wasn't he? It could just be that, part of her told her. Another part begged to differ, but either way none of what she found was the kind of real proof that she was looking for. Boys could really be no fun; didn't they keep journals or anything like that? If Danny did he hid it very well, Sam couldn't find anything anywhere.
All Sam remembered from lunch was taking out her lunch and then Danny poking her awake. She had fallen asleep on his shoulder and the bell signaling the end of lunch had rung.
"You all right Sam?"
"Yeah, I'm fine Danny."
"Are you sure? You seem really tried. We're not working too hard on your lessons, are we? How late were you up lasting night practicing?"
"I'm sure. No, we're not working too hard. And I was only up until midnight or so. It's no big deal. Really."
"We don't have to have lessons today if you'd rather go home and sleep."
Go home and sleep? And miss out on hanging out with Danny? "No way! I'm really looking forward to it." Sam then lowered her voice to a whisper, "What are we going to work on today?"
"Well, turning invisible to be sure that you have that down. And I was thinking flying."
"Cool, I can't wait," Sam said smiling. Maybe she could swing it so Danny ended up having to catch her.
She dowsed through her afternoon classes so that she would be at least somewhat rested for the Halfa lessons. Tucker had to go out with his mom so he had to go home right away. Sam and Danny didn't talk much on the walk to his house. She wasn't becoming a burden to him, was she?
"Are your parents and Jazz going to be around?"
"No. Mom and Dad went out of town this morning to go to come ghost hunting conference or something like that. And Jazz is still trying to tutor Dash, so she'll probably be gone until late."
Sam almost blushed. She couldn't believe that she was going to be alone with Danny again! All the better, she thought, no distractions if I can get Danny to focus on something other than lessons.
"Let's go downstairs to the lab, there's more room down there than in my room," Danny said as they entered his house. Sam followed him down the stairs to the lab that had changed the both of them into what they now were. As they climbed down the steps she couldn't help herself from checking out his butt. Oh soo cute!
For the rest of the week Danny and Sam went to the lab to practice Halfa lessons, Jazz tutored Dash (with no improvement), and Tucker had started hanging out with some girl from school. Sam was pleased with this fact because if Tucker had someone to keep his attention then he would be less annoyed if something did happen between her and Danny.
The two ghost-children worked on changing themselves invisible, fazing through objects, plasma blasts, flying, shields, and controlling another person (that one they practiced with Tucker). Sam was able to use each lesson to her full advantage, not only in learning to control her powers, but also to get closer to Danny.
While going invisible, she ran into Danny in such a way that one might think it was a hug. Fazing had brought her rushing through a pile of boxes only to fall on top of Danny. A plasma blast threw her back into Danny's arms. Flying, of course, had Sam falling into Danny's arms, or on top of him.
Danny and Sam had just laughed it off, but always in a slightly stressed way. By Saturday the only things that Sam had mastered with at least a 95% chance of getting it to work well were flying, invisibility, fazing, and shields.
"So you can dodge and run away," Tucker joked to her on their way to the park Saturday morning.
"See if I ever tell you anything again!" Sam yelled getting mad at Tucker. He really wasn't helping her feel any better.
"Just calm down Sam. It's all right. We'll take a break and start again on Monday," Danny said putting a hand on her shoulder. She smiled at him, wondering how long they could be lucky with no real ghost threats getting in the way of their lessons.
"You wanna play some Frisbee with us Sam?" Danny asked.
"Nah, I'll just hang out here for a bit. I wanna try and finish a paper I'm working on."
"Okay, if you're sure."
"Yeah, I'm fine here. Don't worry so much."
"I'll try not too. Oh, would you watch this for me?" he asked holding out a notebook.
"Why did you bring a notebook to the park?"
Danny shrugged, "Might look like I'm planning on working on homework?"
Sam just laughed and took it from him. "Okay. Now, stay where I can see you two," she joked sounding like an over-protective parent.
"Yes, mother," Danny, laughed at her before running over to Tucker.
The boys stayed within eyesight and goofed off while Sam wrote in her journal under a large oak tree. She kept everything important in there. More and more lately Danny had been taking up more and more pages.
Looking up to see what her two best friends were doing she noticed a small piece of paper that had fallen out of Danny's notebook. She picked it up and went to stick it inside his notebook, but stopped when she noticed what it said.
'Sam and Danny' was printed on the paper in their two different handwritings with a heart inclosing it.
Sam went bright red. He saved it! Why did he save it? Was this her proof? Did he really like her the same way she liked him? What should she do?!
"Sam watch this!" Tucker called, but Sam didn't look up from the paper.
"Sam? Are you okay?" Danny asked coming over to see what had her attention.
She looked up from the paper into Danny's blue eyes and blushed a deeper red.
"What are you looking at?" When his eyes met with the backside of the paper he blushed a similar shade of red. "Uhh.. Sam, it's not what it looks like. See I was working on this paper, and Jazz found it in the trash, and—and—"Danny began to rumble on some kind of excuse.
Sam stood up, still looking longingly into his eyes. "Tell me the truth Danny. Please, just tell me the truth," she said handing the paper back to him.
"I was writing a paper, and got distracted. Jazz must have found it, and was playing a joke on me. I was going to show it too you, I thought you might find it funny..." he tried explaining.
"No Danny. I know the truth about the paper. I want to know the truth about us. How do you really feel about me?"
"SAM!!" Danny screamed.
Out of nowhere a small peg-legged ghost wearing an eye patch and piratey looking clothes and hat had come and grabbed Sam.
"Such a pretty lass. She'll be a prefect addition to me crew of the damned."
With that Sam and the short ghost vanished into thin air.
