ok, chapter two, the shopping Trip. alot of stuff happens so, sit back and don't leave the computer alone, ok? I apreciate the awnsers, some were right, others wrong...I'm not saying who...ok, on with the next chapter.

Sam's POV, italics are her thoughts

"Hey, where'd you go after 2nd period?" I asked as we sat down to lunch at our table. "I had to settel something with Dash and Quan." Danny Mummbled, Then Tucker changed the subject.

"so, are you going with paulina to the winter dance?" He asked. Danny shook his head. "It's just going to be the three of us, just hanging out then." I said secretly happy. I hate Paulina if you didn't know.

It's pretty obvious.

"oh, great left-left-left overs." Danny said poking his lunch with his spork on his tray. gross, and This is supposed to be government funded food, what the hell is wrong with it these days? I stuck my spork with my salad and The guys were exchanging looks at eachother's lunches. ''If it moves, you kill it." insisted Tucker.

You know the color you get when you mix up all the paint colors together? mucky brownish-type? that's basically what it looked like with some questionable looking mashed potatoes next to it.

"how could you guys eat that on a daily basis?" I asked disgusted. "we've been eating school food since kindergarden, we don't care anymore." Danny said looking up at me. His saphire blues eyes met mine. It's happend zillions of times before but I didn't used to get butterflies in my stomach, now I do. My cheeks grew warm.

"ok, so, after school, I'm going to the mall to get something for my special someone." he said smiling. "who'd you get?" I asked. "Valarie." he said guesturing to Valarie grey and her new average friends at the other side of the cafteria.

"what about you?" Tucker asked me. "I got the most shallow little inconsiderate, plastic poser of a witch." I said stabbing a paice of lettuce. Than the spork broke in half.

whoops.

"Ooh, paulina, tough." Danny said. "for me, but if it was you or tucker, you'd be happy." I said rolling my eyes.

"Than let's trade." Tucker offered. I was fine with it, Valarie was a good person who got stuck with the wrong crowd, but she's doing ok now. "ok." I agreed. so after discussing what we could get who, Danny just sat ther quietly.

"Danny you didn't tell us who you got." I said hoping he'd take the hint and tell us. he just shrugged and stared at the thing that was on his plate. "Is it who I think it is?" Tucker asked smirking and danny flushed.

"May-be." he awnsered smiling.

who were they talking about?

"Dude, what are you gonna get her?" Tucker asked giving Danny a high five. "I don't know," he awnsered.

who are they talking about?

"she'd probably like something shiney." Tucker pointed out. "who are you talking about?" I finally asked. Before Danny and Tucker could awnser, Jazz came over to us. Being the older over protective sister of Danny, she's pretty caring.

and kinda has bad timing.

"Hey guys, I heard about your assignment Mr.Lancer gave you and was wondering if you needed a ride to the mall." she said cheery. Danny shrugged. "uh, ok." he said. "cool, I know who got paired up with who." she said eyeing me.

"who did Danny get?" I asked. she smiled, said her goodbyes and left. "that was weird." Danny said flushing a bright shade of red. "yea, but doesn't she know that the mall is going to be crowded with crazy holiday shoppers because of all of the sales?" I said after taking a sip of water.

"The entire school is going to be there." Tucker said. "Then lets go right now." I said getting up and scanning around to see if Jazz was still in the cafeteria. "cut the rest of class?" Tucker questioned. "It's only three more hours, besides, we could use the time off." I said getting Jazz's attention and calling her over.

"I don't know sam." Danny said. "what's up?" Jazz asked "can we maybe go now?" I questioned. "well..." she started. "please, you can get into the front office and sign us all out, and it'd be to, uh, give others a merry christmas?" I said hoping she'd belive me but just raised an eye brow.

"ok, If we leave now, you all bye your own lunch at the mall." she said as we followed her walk out the door, sign all of us outand walkinto the student parking lot.

So we left to the mall, and in the Parking was almost impossible to find,Cars honking, and people walking with shopping bags and cursing were the only things I could see and hear.

Then we finally found a spot and walked inside.

"Ok, I'm gonna go get something for mom and dad, you have two hours to look for and buy your gift, if you're done buy then, call me on my cell, if you're not, then you have to walk home." she said quickly as she pushed into a crowd of people in the woman's clothes department, then she was gone.

"wow, Holidays have her worked up." I mumbled. "yea, she's usually the one that does her shopping in September,but she was busy with her job at the book store." danny explained as we walked past a shoe store.

As I walked around, I saw all the holiday commercial driven citezens of Amity Park rushing in and out of stores, babies were crying, people were yelling and complaining, It was like if they didn't get a present they'd die or something.

The joys of christmas shopping. I know.

Than as we walked past and Antique Jewelry store, Danny froze in Place and started shivering. "oh, man, not here." he said as blue whisps of breath escaped his lips.

Ghost.

We looked around, into the antique shop, which we then noticed Jazz was shopping in.

what was she buying? it almost looked...familiar.

"She's getting your mom and dad an antique?" Tucker asked. "I guess, doesn't that thing that she's holding look almost Familiar?" Danny asked as he rushed into the shop.

"No way!" I exclaimed. "It can't be!" Tucker added shocked. "But it is." Danny said. "Jazz, don't put it on!" he yelled.

Ok, kind of a cliffhanger, huh? well, what is it? and that twist that I mentioned earlier is going to happen in the next chapter...Review!
