Chapter 2: At Danny's House
When Sam and Danny got to his house after school, Danny said, "Man I can't wait till August when you, I and Tucker will be in New York at the Space-Science Institute!"
Sam sighed, she knew all to well that ever since he was a little kid, and Danny wanted to be an astronaut, now he was going to live his dream. Sam said, "I know! When we graduate, you'll be the astronaut, Tuck will be the technology expert, and I'll be the-"
Danny cut her off and said, "You'll be the one on the boring, safe ground."
Sam laughed and said, "Well, Mr. Astronaut, you better be nice to me because I'm going to be the one making sure that you make it safely on this boring, safe ground."
Danny grinned and said, "That's why when I become an astronaut, I will hate you."
Sam looked at him strangely and asked, "Why are you going to hate me?"
Danny laughed and said, "Well, Tucker is going to be the one who built the rocket, which helps me get to space, and you're going to be the one making sure I get from space."
Sam asked, "Why do you want to stay in space?"
Danny answered, "Are you kidding? Haven't you ever seen space? It's so beautiful and mysterious, if I could, I would live in space, just to explore its wonders and beauty."
Wow, the way he describes space; it's so lovely. I always knew that Danny was real into space and he wanted to be an astronaut, but I never knew why. Sam thought to herself.
All of a sudden Sam said, "Danny I have a confession to make." Danny looked at her and asked, "What is it, Sam?"
Sam took a deep breath and said, "I'm a little worried about our future. I mean, just because you, me, and Tucker are going to the same Institute doesn't mean well see each other at all. We could have all our courses together, we could have nothing together, and what happens when we graduate, we could end up never seeing each other again!"
Danny said worriedly, "Yea, you're right."
Sam thought after a while, then sighed and said, "Well, I guess only time will tell if we see each other at all after high school."
After moments of silence Sam looked at her wrist watch and said, "Oh, I better get going, Mom told me to be home by 3:50 and its 3:30, well, see you, Danny!" With that, Sam was gone, leaving a very troubled Danny alone.
