A/N: Darn...went a little over my deadline. Oh well, here's the last chapter. There may be one more just as bloopers and outtakes to make up for me missing my deadline. Anyways, Happy (belated) Halloween!

Restless Teen Halloween

Chapter Seven: The Other Halfa Me

Tucker nervously paced the room as his alarm sounded the last beep before midnight had officially been reached. "Danny...Sam...where are you?!"

He was answered by a bright flash of light from the swirling green vortex as two figures shot out onto the floor. As soon as they'd passed through time was up and the portal resealed itself for another year.

Nervously approaching the pair on the floor Tucker was relieved to see that both Danny and Sam had made it out in one piece. They both lie in a heap on the floor, moaning and rubbing their aching backsides.

"Stupid portal," Sam muttered, "next time I'm taking the stairs."

"Ooh..." Danny groaned, "...is it over? Did we make it?"

"You bet you did!" Tucker exclaimed happily, "And you couldn't have cut it any closer!"

Reverting back to his human (non-ghost) form Danny stood and faced the mirror. Wordlessly he pried it from the wall and held it up over his head.

"What are you doing?!" Sam demanded.

"What does it look like I'm doing?" Danny replied, "Kate told us to smash the mirror!"

"But she'll be stranded in there...FOREVER!!!" Sam protested.

"There's no other way," Danny said resolutely, "If we don't smash it Sam the portal will reopen next year and we'll have to deal with this mess all over again!"

"But-"

"I'm sorry Sam," Danny apologized, "but this is the way she wanted it."

Sighing in defeat Sam hung her head, "Fine, do what you have to do."

Pausing for a moment he silently stared at the mirror, the only portal out of the Ghost Zone for Jet Skye and Kate Ritzfield. I really wish there was some other way.

Sam closed her eyes and winced when she heard the sound of glass shattering on the crumbled tiles of the floor. Forcing herself to look she saw the scattered remains of the mirror. The portal was sealed forever, and that probably sealed the fate of Jet and Kate as well.

"What was that noise?" Jazz asked, sticking her head in the door.

She was nearly trampled when Jack and Maddie rushed in behind her. "Was it a ghost?!" Jack shouted, brandishing the spare Fenton Thermos.

"Is everyone all right?" Maddie inquired worriedly pulling off her hood.

"Did the ghosts leap out of the portal? Did we miss them again?!" Jack demanded.

"Um...sorry Dad. No ghosts here." Danny laughed nervously, "Just us fun-loving, mirror breaking teenagers."

Raising an eyebrow Jazz fixed her brother with a suspicious gaze, "How'd you two sneak in here anyway? I was standing guard outside the whole time."

"Uh...well we...uh..." Danny and Sam began to fidget.

Hurriedly glancing around Tucker spotted a large grate covering the old AC vents leading into the lab. "They um, came in through the ventilation shaft!"

The lame excuse got a lot of skeptical looks but ultimately seemed to satisfy everyone's curiosity.

"Well Maddie," Jack sighed, "with the mirror broken there's no way those ghosts can ever get back to the living world."

"Yes," Maddie agreed, "though it's a shame that we didn't get to try out the Fenton Sealer."

"Don't you worry," Jack assured her, "whenever there's a ghost trying to use some third rate portal to enter our world and wreak havoc...the Fenton Sealer will be ready!"

As everyone started filing out of the room Danny softly grabbed Sam's elbow, "Hey um, I just wanted to say that I'm sorry again for uh...well for ignoring you. I mean, you and I...we're friends, and friends shouldn't leave each other hangin' like that."

Shaking her head Sam placed a finger over his lips, "Then maybe you'd like to make it up to me right now?"

Eyes widening Danny gulped, "L-like how?"

Leaning forward Sam teasingly stopped just before their lips could meet, "Like by giving me that dance you owe me."

"O-oh," he blushed, "O-okay!"

Moving forward he slowly wrapped his arms around her waist as they proceeded to sway to a silent song. With a smile Sam took one of his hands from around her waist and gently laid it atop her shoulder. Danny gradually relaxed as their dance continued. Sam would occasionally lay her head against his chest then draw back, staring at him as if he were some wonder of the world, not because of his ghostly powers, but because of something unknown, unrecognizable to anyone but them.

Moonlight shone in, illuminating the dusty and cobweb filled lab. Yet the dust seemed to sparkle as the cobwebs blew back and forth against the slight breeze filtering in through the cracks in the windows. The scene was enchanting as the teenage couple moved back and forth, literally floating on air.

Looking down at the floor a few feet beneath them Sam idly wondered if this was just another fluke in Danny's powers or if he was intentionally lifting them off the floor.

She's so beautiful. Danny found himself thinking with a captivated sigh as he watched the moonbeams play off the ebony strands of her hair.

He really is handsome, both as Danny Fenton and Danny Phantom. Sam smiled as she lifted her head once more. But it's the guy behind the pretty face that makes my knees go weak. Wonder if he'll ever realize that? Wonder if he'll ever think of me the same way? I wonder if...

Her train of thought was abruptly halted when a pair of soft, warm lips captured hers in a searing kiss that could only be described as supernatural.

...THE END...

Amanda/Artiste: Stay tuned for bloopers and outtakes. They should be up before the week is out. I'll probably include some Tucker/Valerie in them. I hope you all enjoyed my first Danny Phantom fanfic. And I hope everyone had a safe and Happy Halloween! Please review before you go, remember not to flame me! :-)
