It's the End of the World as We know It
So this was it. Highschool graduation, thought Danny. Something told him it was going to be hell, and he couldn't survive it. It shouldn't be this hard to say goodbye. It was though, and to Danny, Sam, and Tucker, it was clear they had to learn to let go. These things were never made to be easy. The teens had been friends since pre-K. The moment came rushing back to Danny as he thought about it, how they'd met, how they'd learned how to deal with each other through the ups and downs of growing up. It all started on December 14th, 1993 in the small, one classroom building of Amity pre-school. (Flashback)"Class,I'd like you to give a warm welcome to our new student, Samantha Manson." said Ms.Frost."Samantha, would you mind telling the class where you came from?"
"Iowa" she replied shyly. She was dressed in a white school dress with black stockings and a white, fluffy winter coat. A maroon ribbon was tied in her long black hair. "Samantha, go take a seat, anywhere you like." The three-year-old walked confidently to a desk at the end of the small room, and sat down next to a brown skinned boy and his blue eyed friend. "Hi I'm Tucker" said the boy "and this is my best friend, Danny." Sam looked at the blue-eyed one, and he started to blush. "Hi."
"Hi" said Sam back. It was darling, the way she sat and stared at the two, her violet eyes wide open and gleaming. "Do you want to be my friends?" she asked sweetly. "Ok"
"My parents fight ghosts, how 'bout your's?" Sam paused, then looked up. "Mommy moved here for a job. She says Daddy isn't coming home." Tears were brimming in her eyes. "Sammi, what's wrong?" asked both young boys. "My Daddy was a soldier. They sent him away and, and, and then..."Tuck and Danny gave her a hug. "It's okay, at least you have us now. We'll help you forevers, I promise." Danny got up and handed her a kleenex. "You guys are the bestest friends I ever had."The only friends I ever had, she thought, but she kept it to herself. (End Flashback)
They couldn't live without each other, at least that's what Danny thought. Why hadn't he noticed his true feelings for Sam before? He knew they were something above 'just good friends', but was it really this deep? His friends had been the reason he'd gotten through all right, the reason why he'd become a life-saver at the age of fourteen. Things were only getting harder,they all knew this moment was awaiting them. Tucker had recently been accepted into a Technology College in California, and Sam was trying to get a scholarship for an arts and design college, which also happened to be out of state. He himself didn't think he could leave, after all, who would take care of the ghosts? Maybe it was his fault they were here, would they leave if he left? They'd follow him, that's what they'd do. Besides, he was already reserving a small apartment down town,there wasn't much point in cancelling that. His life was messed up, what could he do? "Dude, are you okay?" Tucker's speech pulled Danny out of his thoughts. In shock, he stepped backwards and ran into Sam. "Stay" she whispered just loud enough for him to hear. Leaving Tucker behind, she led Danny to a door that led to the back of the school. They silently seated themselves on a wooden bench under the cherry blossom tree that was centered on the patio area, a little bit away from the main building, right on the edge of the bus lane. This had been Sam's haven every year she's attended Casper High. That and the bathroom she thought, but that was a whole other story. She looked so beautiful to Danny, in the moonlight, her jet black hair shone,her dark eyes sparkled. Her delicate lips were set in a forced smile. She turned away, and Danny could hear her sobbing. Tears glistened down her face, reflecting the pale white light of the cresent moon. "Sam, please, what's wrong" inquired Danny, much the way he had upon their first meeting. He gently put his arm around her frail neck, but all she wanted to do was push it off.She didn't want to hurt his feelings, so she kept her patience. He'd never shown this much affection for her, and she took advantage of it. She could see he too was on the verge of a melt down. Danny brushed her hair aside, and leaned close to her. "Sam, I'll be there for you, forever. Don't be afraid." Rain came down from the bruise-coloured night sky, but it went unnoticed. "I'll always stay."
