Candeh- Yet another story started. I'm hoping you all review on it. I have nothing witty to say, since I'm very bitchy right now. -growl- Just read and review or I'll jump down your throat. No, that was not witty. xP...I mean, x(

Oh and didn't you all love TUE? I almost died, let alone jumped all around the room. Well, it gave me a lot of inspiration for the next chapter.

Oh and don't forget. New episodes this coming Friday and next Friday.

Oh, and I'm also getting movie inspirations, so if you think you notice a similarity, you probably do.

But I'll answer your reviews: (first I gotta find them)

Here they are!

Lynxgirl: Okay. xP I hope you enjoy this next chapter.

Anime Fan Angus: Sam goes for you. Thanks for reviewing.

Emria: I had a hard time understanding what you said exactly. LOL...but that's okay. Thanks. And, same fro you as stated above. XD

Unlikely-To-Bear-it: LOL..I'm always proud when you review. I love to hear from you. I wish they did actually sell Danny dollies.

Tucker's Mayflower: Or else, eh? Well, what would the or else be, my Tucker's Mayflower. xP Do you have a thing for Tucker? If so, you can have him...I'll take black hair and half ghost.

Mental Mess: That's okay. I came up with a booklet to put all my ideas inside. There will be more coming soon, as to I have a lot in there. Show up often like some of my readers and maybe I'll dedicate it to you anyways.

Worker72: I probably would be distracted...ooh...shinny object...

Eyesofacidrain: xP And more where that D x S came from.

Cakerut12: Your pressing it, your pressing it. I'm glad y0u review so long. It's entertaining to read. You'll have to figure out what's going to happen to Danny when you read the chapter. I assure you, somebody will find something out. Hell, they all might. Really good story. Funny thing too, I always thought that the best character to find out Danny's secret would be Lancer.

Petito: I didn't get your full user, but it was really long. Thanks though.

Twilight Princess: Hmm..I don't remember why I asked your name. Hold on, let me check again.. Hmm..I only asked for the rang of your ages, Kim. xP Sorry for the confusion.

Auddie: IM me if your still confused.

Strippin'chicken: Hey. Oh and thanks. No, it's not the end, there are still more chapters to go.

Riverfox237: No problem. I'm glad it keeps you happy. xD LOL. Everybody can have their smart moments. Paulina, according to this fiction, has a smart side. She's ashamed to show it normally because she's enjoying attention, good or bad. Sorry, I didn't mean to call you that. I call everybody stuff like that. I'm A-OK with rambling. Yea, I realized this last chapter was a little short. This one will be longer, I swear because I've had so much time to think about where it's going. Yes, they are in the Ghost Zine. Read this chapter and you'll see what happens next. Good story. I'll consider it.

SR-71 Fanatic: Sorry I hadn't updated as soon as you all planned. I hope this was soon enough for you. xD

Faunmon: Yay. My story has a number one fan. -hypnotized- I want to reply to this review...xP And of course I love it when I hear from you. LOL...review again!

Master of Procrastination: You would go to the ends of the earth for it? Really? xP Thanks. Ha ha. The game boy move came from the top of my head. It seemed random. Ya, you'll have to read to find out...I know, she is isn't she. I've never seen "I Robot" but that's a good suggestion. I was also thinking of doing something like the book, "The Time Traveler's wife" Really good book. Thanks.

Chapter 7:

Sam bit her lip, sending crimson blood running down her chin. She didn't even notice the pain as she stared at the cave, rocks falling one by one down the edges. There was suddenly forced power at her back, pushing her chest forwards towards the water. The pressure nudged at her back, two hands pushing her body out of the way of the explosion. She winced as she hit the cold liquid hard, tumbling under the water's surface.

It only took her seconds to rise up, gasping for air as her eyes checked around the cave.

A coughing sound filled her ears, making her wince as a slight smile spread across her lips. "Danny!" She cried, seeing the wet boy, drenched and covered in ashes. His eyes, red and blood shot, flickered around, spotting the others as they smiled, relived.

Tucker pointed to the island ahead of them, rusted and burnt down as it was, it was the only land in sight.

"That's where we have to go." He stated as he pointed his fingers towards the island.

Paulina groaned as she kicked her legs to stay above the water. She soon noticed the others already swimming, reluctantly, she followed.

Paulina's POV:

I was thrilled about having to swim. Yes, thrilled. I could throw a party because now, my new tee-shirt was ruined and drenched in water. Not to mention my hair...

I watched as Tucker slipped the board game into his backpack before it was drenched even more. I didn't help as much, but the water seemed to stay out of the bag.

Tucker was the first to reach the island and pull the drying game out of his backpack, the flat surface seeming a little crumbled. Dash seemed a little confused as he reached the block of land second. I winced as he helped Valerie up of the elevated ground.

I hadn't been fond for her ever since she sold those concert tickets to Danny Fenton and is friends. 'Dumpty Humpty' had never sounded so droll.

Actually, for a fact, I hadn't spoken to Valerie as a friend since that night. She always seemed preoccupied and for some reason stayed close to those losers. Every time Danny Phantom was mentioned, she became some sort of piss off. I don't see what she sees in him like that. She acts like he's a criminal. She acts like he ruined her life...

Valerie dusted off her yellow, out of style, skirt. It hadn't helped. The stupid skirt looked as stupid as it had before it was messed up. One of her ear rings were missing, the other, shinny and triangular, hung lower than normal. She didn't notice, she watched helplessly at the green sky.

I realized where we were again, remembering Danny Phantom. He should be here.

I mean, where else would a ghost live? In a home? Don't think so.

But Danny had said he'd been a real person.

Next, Sam raised herself up top the land, without any help from Dash. Danny was far behind, seeming slower and helpless, while nobody else seemed to notice.

Feeling sorry for the guy, I waited, watching his body struggle to keep his head above the water's surface.

"Anything wrong?" I asked him when I was sure nobody was paying attention.

He shook his head briskly. "No. Just a," He moaned, "side ache."

Somehow I doubted that highly.

"So," I turned towards him, rapping his arm around my shoulder to keep him above the water. "You know Danny Phantom."

It wasn't a question. It was a statement.

He opened his mouth to object.

"You can't say 'no'." I replied, a smile of victory on my face. "We already played that game."

"I know." Danny replied, his head down. Suddenly, his eyes flickered green, a blinding light reminding me of my love. "Huh?" He yelped, shaking his head.

Silently, he spoke to himself, "What just happened?"

I pretended to not be interested.

"Paulina," He called towards me, "Ask me a question. Um...ask me what color my hair is." He blinked, "Normally."

So I did. Rolling my eyes I humored him, "What color is your hair normally." Whatever he meant by that...

"Black." He replied and then he shivered. "Oh no!"

His eyes flickered again and they grew brighter.

We reached the island, with my help. I never thought I could feel like more of the man. Rolled my eyes as Sam, seeing Danny lean on my side, rush horridly over to him.

"Tucker." He said, looking at her. "Get Tucker and meet me over here." His newfound green eyes met mine. "Alone, sorry."

"Pshh." I sighed. "Fine. Don't thank me."

He stared at me as I walked away. "Thanks."

Sam's POV:

I pulled Tucker off the burnt ground by his bright shirt and led him over to Danny in a heartbeat.

"What is it?" I asked sincerely, not trying to sound rude.

"It hasn't worn off." He spat, panic flashing in his eyes...

His green eyes?

"Danny?" I yelped. "Your eyes are green..."

He winced, as if it was newfound information to him. But it seemed to pass him by more smoothly than I'd have suspected.

"That's...not it." He responded almost too quickly.

"What is it?" Tucker asked again, moving closer to his friend.

"It hasn't worn off." He replied again. "I still am stuck into telling the truth!"

This time, my eyes flashed. This almost seemed perfect. I'd said something I hadn't wanted to about my feelings for Danny...maybe I could.

But I shook the thought out of my head, blackmail wasn't on today's schedule and I could tell my friend was serious. He ran his hand thickly through his hair.

"Your kidding!" Tucker chocked, leaning his head closer to Danny.

"Yes!" He said, a smile on his face at the irony. I liked his sense of humor, even in the bad times. "Just, don't let the other's know." He replied, pulling himself weakly up off the ground.

"Why not?" Tucker stupidly questioned.

I rolled my eyes as Danny was forced to answer again. He would have anyways, but I winced at the fact that it was under his will, "Paulina's already asked enough questions." He said with a bit of rage.

I backed away, Danny hadn't seemed that angry normally.

"Okay." Tucker raised his hands, defending himself. "I won't. I swear." With his left hand, he crossed his heart over his yellow shirt.

Danny hobbled after us towards the circle of teenagers around a fire, still burning in after the explosion. It, at least, kept us warm.

"It's your turn, Fen-toad." Dash cracked, finding it necessary to make jokes at a time like this. How typical.

Danny, ignored it, feeling weaker as the seconds passed on. "Really?" He sat down, picking up the dice. "OUCH!"

We all turned to look at Danny as he stared ,blinking out tears, at his black and burnt hand.

"What?" Dash asked, a little interested.

"Pick up the dice," Danny replied, wincing at again the forced response, "That's really hot."

Dash's eye twitched, "Me? I'm hot?"

Danny winced also, "Hell no! The dice, Moron." His hand flung to his mouth, realizing he had only thought what he had just said out loud.

"You looking for a fight, Fenton?" Dash asked, rolling up his sleeves with his left hand.

"No." I answered for him, loudly over his meek reply. Dash hadn't heard him.

"Good." He replied as he reached, confidently to pick up the dice. "Your kidding me right?" He raised the dice throughly to Danny's forearm. "Hot enough?"

"Ow!" Danny cried, biting his lip. He raised his hand, unnoticeably and send Dash flying towards the other end of the island.

"What?" He asked, picking up the dice as he rubbed his head, 'These things are damn cold, if anything!"

I reached them out of Dash's muscular hand. They were freezing. I eyed Danny suspiciously. I had to ask him, "What's going on?"

"No idea." He answered back, innocently. And I knew I couldn't ask again, he was telling the truth, I remembered.

"I'll go!" Valerie said, pulling the cold dice easily out of my fingers. "These are cold." She muttered before she tossed the dice across the island, back towards Dash. She leaned at the board game, staring into the globe.

"Danny."

She read the name out loud. "It won't let me go."

"Danny," I sighed, "You got to roll."

I could tell he was nervous, but he quickly picked up the dice. We all winced as we heard the burning noise filter on Danny's palm.

"He wasn't lying." Paulina muttered as she watched him fling the two dice out of his fists and on the floor. "Snakes eyes. Roll again." She said, feeling sorry for him.

I watched as he wobbled towards the dice, hesitantly. His palm black and burnt.

"Here." Dash said, tossing him his football jacket, revealing his black tee-shirt underneath. "Wrap your hand in this, then you can roll. It won't hurt...as much."

I smiled, only wishing I'd had offered him something first.

Danny nodded a thanks as he moved towards the dice. Dash stepped forwards, wrapping the red, white, and light blue jacket around Danny's palm.

But the jacket was almost too quickly burned through as he tossed the dice highly in the air and watched it land on the ground ahead on him.

"Five, all together." Paulina answered. Who ever made her in charge of reading these things?

The globe on the board game glowed brighter, making Paulina to take it as her cue to read the message:

"I know your tired,

Your eyes a glaze,

But you've yet to finish this unknown maze.

One of you is different,

Feared, you can tell.

Enjoy what shelter you've got,

But don't enjoy it too well..."

Danny gulped, obviously, as he stared obviously at the house of logs ahead of him.

"How nice of the game," Paulina said sarcastically, "It gave us shelter."

I held her back, for once I cared, "You don't wanna go in there. This 'game' gave us a hint." I said. "It isn't safe."

She backed away agreeing. "But I'd say outside here isn't safe either." She gulped. And she backed away from behind here, a bright green light glowing.

Danny was hovering from the ground, the jacket still wrapped tightly around his palm.

"What's going on?" Valerie questioned as Danny was lowered.

"I don't know." He replied, "But I think it's got to do with the fact that I'm still telling the truth."

Candeh- Okay. Read and review. I'm thinking of making more stories really soon, And you know if you want me to continue, then you need to review.
