AN: YAY! FINALS ARE OVER! Okay, so I was surprised that so many people reviewed that last chapter so quickly. It made me feel happy! Anyway, here's the next chapter!

Disclaimer: I do not own Danny Phantom to my knowledge...

"ARE YOU INSANE?" Jazz screamed at Danny.

Free Spirit jumped behind the bed and hid there shaking as Jazz stared at her with fire in her eyes. Sam was on her feet ready to run at a moment's notice. Tucker's hand gripped the closet's doorknob, ready to rip the door open in case he needed to hide inside. Danny stood in front of Jazz using almost all his bravery to keep from cowering. None of them had seen Jazz so furious before, she always seemed so calm.

"WHAT WERE YOU THINKING DANNY? HOW COULD YOU DO THIS? I MEAN REALLY, SHELTERING A GHOST IN OUR HOUSE?" Jazz continued.

"Jazz, calm down." Danny managed to say, "She's not going to hurt anyone."

"HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT, DANNY? SHE'S A GHOST!"

"Please..." said Free Spirit quietly, her voice shaky. "Please... let me explain..." She stood up slowly. "M-My name is Free Spirit, and I came here because I need to save myself..."

"She gets her power from free spirited people." Danny explained, "She was getting weak so she came to try to get more people to be free spirited. She's been here for about a day and no one has gotten hurt. She's not a threat."

Jazz started to calm down a bit. "Alright, but what if mom and dad find out? They won't listen to this whole little story."

"We've been able to elude them so far." said Free Spirit.

"It's only a matter of time before they find out." said Jazz, "It isn't safe for her here, Danny, you know that."

"Well, see, there's another thing. She has an enemy called Conformity who is out to destroy her. She's not strong enough to defend herself against her yet so she needs me to protect her." said Danny.

"Yeah, as soon as she and Danny are separated, Free Spirit is toast!" Tucker added.

"And to make things worse, Free Spirit is free spirit itself! And if she's gone, so id free spirit in the world!"

"But if she stays here she'll have more than just Conformity to worry about." said Jazz, "There has to be another way..." Jazz stared at the floor, deep in thought for a few minutes until she snapped her fingers and looked up smiling. "I've got it! Danny, you and Free Spirit can stay at Tucker's for a few days! That way you won't have to worry about mom and dad finding her here and you'll still be around to protect her from Conformity!"

"Yeah, that might just work!" said Danny, "But how are we going to convince mom and dad to let me?"

"Don't worry, I'll take care of that." said Jazz, "Now go over to Tucker's before mom and dad get home!"

They left and headed to Tucker's house, Sam splitting off from them as they passed her house. When they got to Tucker's house, they snuck Free Spirit inside and went up to his room.

"Well that was easy..." said Danny with a sigh.

"Yeah, this may actually work." said Tucker, "We just have to make sure my parents don't see her between sunset and sunrise and everything will be alright."

"It shouldn't be too hard to pull that off, I basically do that every time I come here!" said Free Spirit.

"Sorry you two have to sleep on the floor..." said Tucker.

"Don't worry about it, Tuck!" said Danny.

"Alright, well I'll go get you guys some blankets." said Tucker as he turned and left the room. When he was gone Free Spirit looked at Danny, a huge smile spread across her face.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Danny asked, starting to get a little uneasy from the overly happy expression on her face.

"You should tell her." said Free Spirit.

"Tell who?"

"Sam."

"Tell Sam what?" Danny asked, feeling even more uneasy.

"How you feel."

"What do you mean?" he asked as his stomach and heart started twisting and turning.

"I can tell you like her. You should tell her."

His stomach did a flip. Was it really that obvious? "You must be imagining it." he said, his voice a little shaky.

Free Spirit opened her mouth to say something but Tucker walked back in with the blankets and pillows. She sighed and shook her head. They set up two places on he floor and Danny started to lay down as Tucker climbed into bed.

"Just think about it." Free Spirit whispered to Danny as she lay down as well. Then she closed her eyes and went to sleep.

Danny sighed. She acted like it was so easy. By all means it should be, they were only words right? But something deep inside wouldn't let him say them to Sam. What could be stopping him from telling her? Fear of rejection maybe?

"You okay, Danny?" asked Tucker, who had noticed him lying there awake.

"Yeah, it's nothing..." said Danny. He rolled over onto his side, closed his eyes, and went to sleep.
