Sleepover

Chapter 3: Showbread

Sam woke up to a knock on her door. Well, actually, it was Danny's door but since she was in his room and he was in the op-center it was her door. She yawned and sat up slowly, stretching her arms out. "Coming." she said standing up and stopping the front of the mirror to run a hand threw her hair. She opened the door expecting to see Danny or one of her parents waking her up to wish her a happy birthday but instead Jazz smiled at her.

"Good morning!" she said. "I thought that since you're going to be staying here for a while we should…uh… try to hang out or something. You know, to give you a break from the guys."

Sam blinked at her for a moment, wondering if she was actually still sleeping and this was a dream or if Jazz tripped and hit her head. "Umm… okay." Sam said uncertainly. What was all this about?

"Great!" Jazz smiled again. "So get dressed and stuff and we can eat breakfast at the Nasty Burger, my treat."

Sam nodded. "Okay, I'll be down in a few minutes." she said, closing the door as Jazz nodded and walked down the stairs.

She was in the middle of getting dressed when the door opened. "OH! Sorry!" Danny said quickly, shutting the door.

Sam turned and looked at the door, then looked at herself. She sighed at her reflection, she had only managed her skirt and bra and was in the middle of grabbing a shirt when he walked in. "Great," she whispered. "Now Danny knows what bra I'm wearing today…" She rolled her eyes and pulled her shirt on. "Okay, it's safe." she called to the door. She almost laughed at the thought of practically being in her birthday suit, on her birthday.

Danny opened the door gingerly and poked his head inside, laughing. "I guess Jazz was right when she said I need to learn to knock, huh?"

Sam smiled and reached for her body spray. "I guess so, on the upside I can now have feedback on this bra." she laughed.

Danny flushed and walked over to his dresser, grabbing a shirt and pants out of it. They had agreed the put Danny's cloths in the dresser and Sam's in the closet since there wasn't anywhere in the op-center to put Danny's cloths. He shook his head slowly, laughing. "You know, if any other girl was in here I'd be unconscious or something but yet you want me to tell you if I like the bra." he laughed.

Sam shrugged. "Well I'm not like any other girl. You know that." She reached for her lipstick. "So your sister wants to bond with me today." she said.

Danny flinched. "That's cool I guess." he said, convincingly enough. "I'm going to follow a lead on a ghost." he said, thankful that a ghost was out wreaking havoc for once.

Sam frowned, disappointed that he wasn't planning anything for her birthday. For the past 3 years he had done something special for her on her birthday, I guess, she thought, maybe he forgot this year. She shook her head then smiled at him and walked out of the room. "Okay, so I'll see you when you get back then." she said walking downstairs.

Jazz stood by the door searching in her purse for something; she stopped when she saw Sam walk down the stairs and smiled. "Hey Sam." she said. "Ready?"

Sam nodded. "Yeap."

"Great we're gonna drive there. I was thinking we could go to the park afterwards and wait until four when 'Things from Uranus' starts showing at the movies." Jazz and Danny had made an agreement that Danny would be back from the mall around 4:30 with Tucker and the families would celebrate Sam's birthday when she got back.

Sam shrugged. "Sounds good to me." she said slowly, following Jazz into her car. She stared out the window. They did forget. She thought. Or else Tucker and Danny would have woken me up with an air horn or something like last year. She smiled at the memory, they crept into her room at the exact moment she was born and blew an air horn to wake her up, unfortunately, she was born at 3:24 in the morning, so the horn woke up a few neighbors and her parents.

"So any radio station you want to listen to?" Jazz asked.

"Nothing you'd like." Sam shrugged. She had recently taken a liking to the group Showbread, pure screaming and heavy music. She was hoping for a Showbread CD for her birthday, last night she hinted about it to Danny when she showed him their website and played their hit 'Mouth like a Magazine'.

"I'm very flexible towards music." Jazz smiled.

Sam shrugged and changed the radio station to S.C.R.E. am. Scream music for the Goths of Amity Park. Maybe I'm looking too far into this. Sam thought. Maybe this whole Jazz thing is what Danny planned; he probably wanted Jazz to hang out with me while he checked out the Ghost thing so I wouldn't be alone on my birthday. With this new thought in her head, she decided to try to make the most of the situation. For Danny. She thought.

She looked over at Jazz and almost laughed at her face every time the singer would scream. She flinched but honestly looked like she was trying to enjoy it. Finally, the song ended and Showbread came on. Sam gasped. "I love this song!" she smiled.

"The lead singer sounds kinda cute." Jazz said, obviously trying to see the high points of the music.

"He is." Sam smiled. "If you're into guys who wear eyeliner."

They looked at each other and started laughing. Jazz held up her hand for silence then looked at the radio really quick. "Did they just say, 'Cause your boyfriend can't read'?" she asked.

Sam nodded. "Now find the fault cause your boyfriend can't read." she quoted.

Jazz pulled into the parking lot of the Nasty Burger and waited until the song was over before she turned off the car. "I'll admit it, I kinda like that song." she said. "Do you have the CD?"

"No," Sam said shrugging. "Not yet anyways. I'm planning on buying it sometime."

Jazz smiled and starting singing the chorus under her breath as she walked into the Nasty Burger.

"You ready?" Danny asked Tucker as he stepped back, giving Tucker room to close the door to his house.

"Yeap." Tucker said.

Danny followed him out around the side of his house, then made sure no one was looking. "Going ghost!" he said, and in a moment, he was Danny Phantom, flying into the sky invisible with Tucker, who was grabbing onto his arm.

"Are you sure we had to fly to the mall? Can't we just ride our bikes or something?" For Tucker, it felt weird flying without Sam on the other Side of Danny. At least then, it was normal.

"It's faster this way. We've held off getting her present too long. Right now, Jazz and she should be at the Park killing time until their movie starts. Then we only have a few hours to get ready for her party."

Tucker sighed. "Why didn't we just set her up on a blind date or something? That would have kept her occupied alllll day."

"Tucker!" Danny snapped.

"Okay okay, I was joking! Gees, I didn't think you'd snap at me for talking about your girlfriend on a blind date."

"She's not my girlfriend!" Danny said hotly.

"Mhmm…" Tucker said. "And what exactly were you doing paying so many nightly visits to her house at night." Before Danny could say something, he went on. "So many in fact that your parents noticed. My money's on a fake-out make-out session."

"What money? You're spending all you have on a birthday present for her."

"Actually I'm spending all my money on your birthday present for her." Tucker corrected. "Unlike some people," he gave Danny a look. "I already bought her present. And don't avoid the nightly visits question!"

Danny's eyes widened. "What?" he snapped. "YOU ALREADY GOT HER A PRESENT?"

"Some of us like to get things done before the dead line." Tucker sighed.

"How's it going to look if I get her a ring?" he asked. "I'm not proposing to her!"

"Not yet," Tucker mumbled under his breath, the wind preventing Danny from hearing it. "You said so yourself. It's a birthday present."

Danny sighed and hit his forehead. He was planning on it being a joint present so he didn't feel like an idiot giving his best friend a ring. "Well I already have the money…" he sighed. "Might as well get it."

Jazz and Sam started bursting out laughing again. Who knew Sam could have this much fun with Danny's sister? It seemed almost impossible. She shook her head then walked over to a park bench, sipping her orange juice she brought from the Nasty Burger.

Jazz sat down on the other side of the bench and pulled her legs up, resting a hand on her knee. "So Sam." Jazz said. "What exactly are your feelings toward Danny?"

"What do you mean?" Sam asked, surprised by the sudden conversation switch. Earlier they were talking about how funny people act when their trying to make a baby laugh.

"You know what I mean. This year things have started changing with you two, right?" Sam stared at her, sipping her orange juice again. Jazz sighed. "Come on, it's obvious. And you don't have to be related to Danny to know about how his attitude towards you has changed. You guys do everything together now, more than just best friends."

Sam shrugged, thinking that when Jazz said, 'Attitude changed' meant something about the accident in the lab and Danny Phantom. "I don't know…," she said slowly.

"Do you like him as more than a friend?" Jazz pushed.

She shrugged again. "I don't know… I mean, he likes Paulina so-"

Jazz let out a cry of frustration. "Come on!" she sighed. "You know that's a removable crush. Let's pretend she doesn't exist."

Sam looked at the ground; it was seriously okword to be talking about this to Danny's sister. "I…" she started. "I guess things have changed, especially after the fake-out make-out that look he gave me-"

"Whoa wait! You made out?" she asked.

"N-no!" Sam said. "It was a kiss but… well… it's complicated and a long story and Danny would kill me if I told you the whole thing."

Jazz frowned. "Sam, don't tell anybody but…" She sighed wondering if this was the right time to tell someone her secret. "Seriously don't tell anyone, especially Danny."

Sam stared at her. "Yeah?" she asked.

Jazz took in a deep breath. "IKnowDannysSecrect." she blurted out.

Danny Fenton and Tucker ran up to the steps of his house. "Okay, now I just have to wrap this up or something." he said, opening the door.

The boys were almost to the stairs when Mr. Manson stopped them. "Boys, where's Samantha?" he asked.

"With Jazz." Danny said. "Their," he used finger quotation marks, " 'Bonding' "

Mr. Manson stared at him for a moment. "Oh… well… you do know it's her birthday today?"

"Just got back from buying her present." Danny said quickly. "I have to go wrap it and stuff, by Mr. Manson!"

Tucker waved at him then darted upstairs with Danny.

Sam stared at Jazz. "His secret?" she asked.

"I mean who the real Danny Phantom is." Jazz sighed. "I saw him outside the Nasty Burger once."

Sam made a small 'o' with her mouth. "So that's why you've acted strange those times…" she blinked. "Why didn't you tell him?"

"I want him to tell me on his own." Jazz said. She looked at her watch. "Okay, we can talk more on the way to the movie theater, our movie starts pretty soon."

Sam nodded and smiled. The Danny Phantom topic was a little weird for her to talk about to his sister. She was glad for an excuse to drop it. Buuut… she had to admit it was nice to talk to another girl about Danny being a halfa, even if it was his sister.

Danny smiled to himself as he finished thinking of how he would give Sam her present. Tucker was currently in the bathroom. "It's perfect." he whispered to himself.
Okay, so thank you all again but I only can reply to two people since... there really wasn't anything to say other than thank you to everyone else.
