Chapter 8

You let her get away!! The evil green eyes said within Aries's body.

I wouldn't let you hurt her or her friends! Besides, now she has a boyfriend! Good Aries with the brown eyes smirked. This made Evil Aries falter.

Why you......

Touchy, touchy. Admit it, you lost!

No, WE lost! Both of us! Now let me take control of your body!

No! Never! Stay in that ghost form! I'm sick of you running my life and hurting everyone I love!

Just be careful when you go to sleep kid, then I will emerge, stronger than ever!

Danny isn't afraid of you, neither is the other halfas! Besides, I have had it with you, if the only way to destroy you is to destroy me... Ill let them do it! Don't think I wont!

You..You.............

Yes? Good Aries's face wore a grin, he was winning.

You wont get that far....

Good Aries's eyes widened as his body spasmed and evil Aries took over, two red rings engulfed him, transforming Aries Meedavo, into Aries Shadow.

Sam, Tucker and Jazz were all worried for Rosa, Star and Danny. So all of them decided that they would go to the cave and figure out what was going on. The hike up to the cave was hard and rough, but they did finally manage to get up there. When they did, all three couldn't believe what they saw. Danny Phantom, was kissing Rosa Specter.

The instant all three saw them, Sam turned and ran out of the cave, into the crisp night air. Tucker and Jazz were too frozen to speak. Jazz was the first to regain composure. She quickly grabbed Tucker and Star by the arms and led them out of the cave.

Tucker was still in shock, staring ahead of him with his mouth slightly agape. That is, until Star slapped him across the face.

He shook his head. "Hey! What was that for?"

Star raised an eyebrow. Her arms were crossed over her chest. Then he remembered and Tucker instantly grinned and blushed.

"Where's Sam?" Jazz suddenly asked, looking around.

"She ran off I think." Star said. "While you two were gaping like idiots, I saw her running off."

"That cant be good." Jazz whispered. "Not good at all."

Sam ran blindly through the forest ahead of her. She didn't even know why she was running! She internally cursed at her hormones for deciding to act up at the moment. After a while, she finally stopped, panting hard. She sat down and tried to regain her breath. She closed her lavender eyes and just listened to her heart and the sounds of the forest. Danny had decided for them. He loved Rosa. She opened her eyes again, frantically telling herself that she couldn't cry. She was a goth, she was always depressed and down, but no one would EVER see or know that she could cry. She was always listed at the one with the sour mood, but was strong and tough emotion wise. Yet here she sat, running away from a problem and her eyes were filling up with water. So much water, that it blurred her vision, finally she had to close them again, tear drops ruining her mascara and running down her face. Why couldn't Danny have loved her? Why did he have to love that halfa girl with a disfigured eye?

Sam clenched her teeth and closed her eyes as anger and jealousy began to bubble in her. It was all Rosa's fault, if she never came then...then...

Then Danny would be all yours. Was that what you were going to say?

Sam growled. "Go away." She whispered.

Why should I? I am your conscious. You've always wanted Danny, since the Fake out Make out, especially since Ember. He is your superman, your hero.

"Alright so he is!" Sam sighed. "So what? He can't know what I think now. He would think its silly. Even I am starting to think it is." The anger drained from her face and she sighed, slumping against the tree nearby.

"He can never be mine.."

Danny pulled away from Rosa slowly and looked at her face. Would she totally hate him now? He looked at her closely. Then he realized she was smiling softly.

"Wow." She breathed.

Danny smiled softly at her. "I'm glad you liked that."

Rosa blushed a little. "I did..."

Both stared at each other for a minute.

"Ahem!"

Both turned and saw Jazz, Star and Tucker.

Rosa and Danny instantly blushed.

"How long have you been standing there?" Danny asked.

"Long enough, get a room!" Star grinned.

"Danny, Sam is missing." Jazz said.

"What?!" Rosa and Danny said at the same time.

"She walked up with us, but when she saw you guys kissing, she ran." Tucker explained.

"Oh my gosh! I have to find her." Danny got up instantly. Rosa also did.

"Not without me you aren't!" Rosa said to him. He smiled at her.

"Rosa, I appreciate the help, but this is something I need to do on my own, understand?" he said softly.

Rosa closed her eye and nodded. She sighed. "Good luck."

He smiled and nodded, then took off into the air.

Rosa looked as he flew off, Star put a hand on her shoulder. "C'mon, lets go home."

Danny soon spotted Sam, sitting and leaning against a tree. He landed by her and walked over. When she heard his footsteps, she looked up suddenly, then when she saw him, she looked down.

"Sam.." Danny started.

"No, don't Danny." Sam said. "Just go away."

"No Sam. What's wrong? Why did you run?" He asked, concerned.

Sam sighed and closed her eyes tight. Doesn't he get it? Boy he really is dense sometimes!

She opened her eyes and looked at him.

"Don't you understand Danny? I like you, I have always liked you! But then she came into your life-"

"Woah woah, you mean Rosa?" Danny said.

"Yes Rosa! Now you love her and I'm left out in the cold, as usual." Sam replied bitterly.

"Sam...I don't know if I LOVE her yet...but I do like her." He sat down next to Sam. "And Sam, she needs me..she almost died in there, and I don't know how long before she is gone forever. She is a danger magnet you know.." Danny looked at a little shaken as he was talking.

Sam noticed and looked at him with concern.

"But you, your like a anchor, you keep me grounded so I don't lose who I am. With her, Danny Phantom is alright. But with you, I can be Danny Fenton. Please...just wait until I have decided for sure Sam. For now, cant we just try to be best friends again?" He half smiled.

Sam sighed and looked at him. "Alright. I wont make you choose now. And I wont be upset if you choose Rosa. I know how much she means to you." Sam managed a weak smile.

As long as he's happy. I don't care as long as he's happy.

Aries grinned, floating in the air. He flew around, searching for Rosa. He finally spotted her with Star, Jazz and Tucker. He dove down to grab her, but Star saw him. She gasped and shoved herself and Rosa down. Aries angrily turned back and again dove for her. The four took off running.

"Rosa! Turn ghost now!" Star said, as two yellow rings engulfed her, transforming her into the sleek and stylish Star Ghost.

Rosa concentrated and two pink rings surrounded her, then one went up, the other went down to her feet, transforming normal Rosa Sector, into the ghost heroine, Rosa Specter. As Aries got closer to Rosa, she closed her eye and turned intangible, causing Aries to go right through her and slamming into a tree nearby.

Star looked at the two others. "Hurry! Go home! Me and Rosa can handle him!"

Tucker and Jazz nodded, then turned and ran towards their houses.

Star and Rosa turned to Aries, who was flying towards them. Star formed bright yellow blasts of plasma in her hands, then threw them at Aries, who turned intangible and they disappeared through him. Then formed a blast of his own and hit Star, who careened into the wall of a nearby building. She collapsed to the ground, knocked out.

Rosa gasped and then looked back at Aries as he grabbed her by the waist and started to fly away.

"Let me go Aries!" Rosa cried, struggling from his grasp. She turned intangible and disappeared through his arms. Then turned to face him. This was it. It just was her against Aries. She needed help, she needed Danny.

Danny smiled at Sam and hugged her gently. Sam blinked and hugged him back. Then Danny's cell phone began to ring. Danny blinked and picked up the phone.

"Hello?"

"Danny! It's Jazz! Aries is back! Rosa and Star were fighting him near Amity park! Hurry! I have a bad feeling."

Danny's eyes went wide, he hung up and looked at Sam. "Sam Aries...."

She nodded and stood up. "Go do what you need to do, ill be fine alone."

Danny smiled gratefully at Sam, then flew off to find Rosa , Aries and Star.

As he got closer, he heard a scream fill the air.
