All through the rest of the day, all that Danny could think about was T. Spirit. When he got to school the next day, he met up with Sam and Tucker.
"Hey guys--" Danny started, but was immediatly cut off by Tucker.
"Hey Danny... How was lunch with Tara?" he said in a someone's-got-a-girlfriend manner. Sam mumbled something under her breath about Tara.
"What?" Danny asked.
"Nothing!" Sam snapped. Danny eyed her suspicously, and continued the conversation.
"Anyway, you won't believe what I saw yesterday!" Danny told them. "When I foundthis ghost yesterday, I was about to hit it, but then something happened! I saw another half-ghost!"
"What!?" Tucker and Sam said in unison.
"Another half-ghost!" Danny repeated. "She calls herself T. Spirit, but she looks an awful lot like Tara."
"Hey, what are you guys talking about?" a familier voice said behind them. They looked around only to see Tara.
"Nothing!" the three said together. Tara eyed them suspiciously, but continued.
"Danny, I'm sorry I cancelled out on you," she said. "Something... came up... Do you wanna have lunch today instead?" Sam acted quickly.
"Actually, we--" Her mouth was covered by Danny's hand.
"Would love to, Tara," he said, looking down at Sam angerly.
"Okay, see you then," Tara said, heading off to class. Danny let go of Sam when she was gone.
"Why are you so mean to Tara?" Danny asked.
"Sam, I think now would be a good time to tell him," Tucker whispered to Sam. She bit her lip.
"The reason is..." she tried, "... Danny, I sorta, kinda, a little bit--" She was cut off by the bell.
"Sorry, Sam, can it wait?" Danny said, leaving for class. Sam stood there as Danny walked away. She turned to the locker and banged her head against it.
"Swing and a miss..." Tucker said, taking off to his class
At lunch, Danny found Tara at the same table and went over to her.
"Hey there," he said.
"Hey, Danny," Tara said happily. "I--" She suddenly gasped, and turned away, covering her mouth.
"What's wrong?" Danny asked.
"Oh, man, I'm so sorry," Tara said. "I just keep cancelling on you. See you later! Bye!" And she ran off. At the same moment, Danny once again had eptoplasmic gas come to view.
"Aw man!" he said, and took off.
