Hey, everyone! This is my first DP fanfiction. The characters may seem a little OOC, though.

Summmary: Sam has a secret: she's now afraid of heights. She feels really bad because this means Danny won't be able to fly her anywhere anymore. Can he help her overcome her fear? D/S

Disclaimer: I don't own Danny Phantom.

So, enjoy.

Don't "Fly"

Danny walked through the halls of the semi-empty school. It was three o'clock and the only people left in the school were mostly teachers. He was going to meet his friends, Tucker and Sam. He, finally, spotted Sam but no sign of Tucker.

"Hey, Sam," Danny greeted the Goth girl. "Where's Tuck?"

"He went to the bathroom…at least that's where I hope he is," Sam replied.

She looked behind her shoulder hoping he would hurry up. But he was nowhere to be seen. Danny waited impatiently, leaning against a locker. He looked at the clock; he had nothing better to do. Sam sighed.

Finally, they heard footsteps coming down the hall.

"Hey, guys," Tucker said happily. "I just got to get my stuff out of my locker and then we can leave."

Sam and Danny sighed frustratingly.

"I'm changing my mind about walking. Maybe I'll go ghost and fly you guys home instead," Danny suggested irritatingly.

Sam's head perked up at that last statement.

"Umm…yeah…about that…" she said stuttering and frowned, but she continued. "I'm kind of afraid of heights now."

"What? Since when? And what's taking Tucker so long?" Danny asked glancing over his shoulder.

Sam smiled nervously. Danny rolled his eyes still wondering what was taking Tucker so long.

"Ok," Sam started. "It all started when I fell off that train when you were being controlled by Freak Show. Then, practically after that incident, I was still a little afraid."

"Oh," Danny frowned. He couldn't imagine what it would be like without Sam coming along to help him fight ghosts. He also heard Tucker's voice shout out to him from behind.

"Are you guys coming or not?" now he was the one waiting for them.

Danny looked back at Sam. She was frowning with the saddest look in her eyes. He sighed. Tucker walked over to them.

"Look, Tuck," Danny said. Tucker listened closely to what Danny had to say.

"I guess I can't fly you guys home," he sighed. Sam just kept watching. "Because Sam…"

"What about Sam?" Tucker wanted to know.

"Well, Sam…"

"…doesn't feel very well," Sam interrupted, throwing in a fake cough, and also proving that this was a secret.

"Ok," Tucker said shrugging, like it was no big deal.

Sam was sitting on her porch. She sighed. Danny was walking by just then and stopped to talk to her.

"I feel really bad about this, Sam," Danny said, concern in his voice.

Sam just looked away, sadly. Suddenly, Danny heard something and his ghost sense went off. He looked up and saw the ghost dog chasing a helpless cat across the road.

"I'm going ghost!" Danny shouted. Once he transformed into Danny Phantom, the dog saw him.

He looked up and wagged his tail. He then evolved into a puppy. By then, Danny knew this would be easier than he thought.

Then, someone, obviously the lady of the cat the dog had been chasing, threw something at the dog. The puppy transformed back into an adult dog again and growled.

Danny knew he would need help with this as the dog started running with the cat in his mouth…or whatever it was. He couldn't tell if it were the cat or the shoe that got thrown at him earlier that he had in his mouth.

"Come on, Sam, I'm going to need help," Danny urged her. The only response was Sam backing away.

"Sam, come on! I feel like I'm coaxing a hopeless puppy from underneath a table!" he shouted at her.

Sam knew she had to help, but her body wouldn't move.

She knew she had to help…even if she didn't want to.

I hope you guys liked it. I got the title of this chapter from the song Don't Lie by the Black Eyed Peas. Anyway, I hope you don't mind but I was thinking of a name for the ghost dog from Shades of Gray and I thought I could use the place where it had come from, I think: Axion or something like that. I don't know how to pronounce it, but if you think about it, it almost sounds like "Action".

Please R&R. I won't bribe you and flames are ok as long as they're helpful.
