Crucial Changes

Chapter Three

Disclaimer: I don't own the characters of Danny Phantom.

Danny and Sam walked home slowly that day. They were tired. Neither one of them ended up getting suspended but they both did end up in detention for the day. Dash was suspended for the remaining two days of the week and Paulina, well she just had a detention too. Sam was going over to Danny's for supper, she didn't want to go home just yet, she wanted to spend more time with Danny. "So Sam..." Danny said out of the blue.

"Hm..." Sam said looking up at Danny's ice blue eyes. Oh, how she loved those eyes and could you blame her? No! Danny's eyes are so goreous.

"What did you mean by you'd be jealous over me huh?" Danny questioned Sam.

"Well, hm, I meant that I, you know... I just wanted to cover for you, I didn't want Paulina to think that she was right," Sam lied.

"Oh," Danny looked down at his shoes and stopped. "So, I guess she was right.." Danny sat down on a nearby bench.

Sam looked at him and quickly sat by him and hugged him. "No Danny, she isn't. I lied, I was jealous, I really was, because I'm in love with you, I love you Danny Fenton," Sam couldn't believe it as the words slipped from her soft lips so clearly. She blushed and looked down.

Danny smiled and jumped up and grabbed Sam by the hands. "I love you too Sam," he said pulling her close to him. He kissed her gently on the lips. When they broke from the kiss he looked at her. "I feel so great now that we're finally together,"

Weeks passed by and summer quickly came and Sam and Danny were still an item. They were extremly close. They have been together for six months now and they were out on a date and that's when Danny gave Sam a promise ring with a promise speech to go with it.

"Sam,

You are the most wonderful and amazing girl that I have ever meant and I love you so much. There isn't a thing that I wouldn't do for you. I would even give up my life for you if you wanted me to, but I know that you don't. Actually Sam, you are my life, my light, my everything and I would be nothing without you, without your love. Sam, I love you and only you ... I'll always love you and no girl can replace you in my heart. Nothing will ever change the way I feel... you'll always be the only girl in my heart. My promise, no my vow to you is that I'll always love you, only you, I'll never cheat on you, I'll always be there for you and I'll always be loyal to you..." Danny told Sam.

Sam started to cry and she hugged Danny and then they met in a passionate kiss. A kiss that was filled with such great love and passion, only a kiss that could be created by such a close couple.

A few weeks later Sam and Danny had decided to go visiting. They had decided to visit Tokyo, Japan for a few weeks. They totally loved Japan and the anime from there. Sam was obsessed with Inu-Yasha and Sailor Moon while Danny was obssessed with Inu-Yasha and the whole Dragon Ball GT thing, like most guys where. Sam was a goth girl but she still loved romance, there was a different side of Sam that nobody but Danny knew and that was the passionate, romantic girl.

The sun was buring brightly one afternoon as Sam and Danny walked down the streets of Toyko hand-in-hand. It was their last day there and they wanted to have a great time. Grade Ten was about to begin back home so they had to enjoy the little bit of summer that they had left while they could. Things between them have been going just great, in fact, it was going a little too great, it was like Danny and Sam knew tgar something bad was going to happen between them but they didn't know what it was, yet.

They had spent their day shopping and at the hot springs. That night they went out for supper and they watched a Sailor Moon play and they went to watch some fireworks after. All in all, their tripto Japan was great.

Grade Ten. "Oh just great, here we are, back in school," Sam complained as she, Danny and Tucker entered Casper High.

"Sam, c'mon it's not THAT bad," Danny said looking up ahead at Paulina. Now why would Danny be staring at her? After all, he loved Sam right?

"Excuse me!" Sam yelled at Danny. "But what the heck are you doing staring at that shallow shank?"

Danny blushed and looked at Sam. "I... er I wasn't looking at her.." Danny lied and Sam knew it was a lie.

"Don't lie to me Daniel Fenton," Sam placed her hands on her hips. "Now tell me, why was you staring at Paulina Stanhope, is she really that hot wearing her latest and most disgusting outfit?" Sam said referring to Paulina's, short, short skirt and her quite revealing tank-top.

"I wasn't staring at her, you know I love you and only you," Danny said looking at Sam and kissing her soft lips. Sam gave in this time and kissed Danny's lips. She could never refuse a kiss from Danny. Never. Not even if he had just done the worst thing ever, she still wouldn't be able to refuse a kiss from the boy she loved so deeply.

Okay people, it's moving a little slow here now isn't it? But: The story isn't really all set yet. I'm just getting there. Anyway, the next chapter is going to be where it starts to actually get interesting.
