Seconds after the last chapter ended:

Danny got a look of realization over his face. He started thinking out loud. "I'm acting like Sam does when I talk about Paulina? That's crazy. I mean,.. she'd have to like me to be jealous of me for that. And she only likes me as a friend. I know that. I mean why would she go off with another guy if she didn't? Maybe she's trying to make me jealous. That would make sense because that's why I would talk about Paulina so much, to make Sam jealous so she would admit she liked me. I love her so it's kind of like when she would try to get me away-" Danny just realized what he said. "Shoot."

Tucker got a triumphant look on his face. "Ha! I knew it! You and Sam love each other! YES! Excuse me but I have money to collect." Tucker began to run off.

"Tucker!"

Tucker paused, "Yeah, Danny."

"How do I tell her? She's going off with Thomas, or whatever his name is." Dannys face darkened.

"Tell her. Kiss her. I don't know, just do something. Gotta go." Tucker sped off.

Danny's head sunk to his arms. "Greeeat…."

oOºOoOºOoOºOoOºOo

Danny waited on Sam's porch. He had been waiting there for two hours but he had to get it over with now or Tucker would do something to humiliate him.

Sam was coming down the sidewalk. Danny ran to meet her. She was smiling slightly.

"Hi Danny! You were waiting for me?"

"Umm..yeah." Danny scratched the back of his neck. "Look, Sam, I have something to ask you."

"Yeah Danny?"

They continued to walk to Sam's house.

"Umm..you know the dance?"

"Yeah. I asked Thomas but he already had a date." Sam frowned slightly but smiled and shrugged her shoulders. "Oh, well, maybe next time."

"Oh, really? That's great..I mean, that's sad. I mean, umm, that's really too bad Sam."

Sam gave him a concerned look. "Are you okay, Danny? You're acting kinda nervous."

"Sam, doyouwanttogotothedancewithme?"

"Danny, I can't understand that. You might want to say it again."

"OK.." Danny took a deep breath and said slowly, "Sam…do…you...want…to…go...to…the…dance…with…me?"

Sam gave him a puzzled look. "Sure Danny. As friends, right?"

Danny sighed. "Actually Sam I want to say that I like ….love you and I would like to go as a date." His whole body tensed, ready for rejection.

Weirdly enough, from his point of view Sam fainted. He caught her before she hit the ground and waved his hand in front of her face. "Sam, are you okay?" She didn't answer.

Danny flew her up to her room. He laid her out on the bed and sat down next to her as Danny Fenton.

Then he waited for her. Again.
