((I think I spelled deceit wrong in the last chapter title...; oopsie dasie! XD

(sigh) Sadly enough, this story is coming to an end...It's very sad, I know. But I'm curious (and I'm going to put this at the bottom of this chapter as well) what do you guys think of this story in Danny's POV? (thinks) I've already got the first chapter, and it all planned out, because, whether I'm doing it or not, I'm not going to be able to reveal as much as I could if this story was in third person. Sadly enough, though, when I write them I use big words that I don't even know are English and make the paragraphs too long. (sigh) Anyway. Off topic. Whoops.

Chapter Eight

Aftermath

I could feel my body tense, my lungs holding in the air that seemed unable to escape. My heart was thudding rapidly against my chest, and I feared that it would burst at any second. My fingers were sweaty, though my legs and lower body felt like ice. My surroundings were rapidly spinning; spinning so fast that I had to close my eyes just so I wouldn't collapse on the spot.

I couldn't decipher what was happened after I closed my eyes. I was too occupied with letting the air out of my lungs to do anything else.

"You're cold," Danny pointed out at some time. Apparently our lips weren't in contact anymore. I couldn't remember departing. Just the consideration of the feel of his lips on mine sent me into a near-hypervenalation. "Do you want to go inside?"

"No." My answer seemed to come out of my mouth before I could even comprehend what he had just said.

Danny chuckled and I opened my eyes. His face was barely an inch away from mine; I could hear his soft and soothing breathing as the air exited out of his nose.

We stood there, so close, for what seemed like an eternity. His lively crystal blue eyes smoldered mine. I had read about this...this feeling in various books, seen actors portray it in films, and I was pretty sure that I had gathered enough information to realize that, corny as it may be later on, the aftermath of a kiss was something that you would want to savor, so tuck in as much of the glow that hung in the still air.

The experience, however, was much more better. Danny no longer caged me in by my upper torso; his hands must have slid on the wall and were now in level with my hips.

"You sure?" I breathed in that wondrous scent. Honeysuckle would never smell (or taste) the same again.

"Yeah," I answered quietly. "Positive."

Though it was still raining and I could feel my legs shaking from being so cold, I was utterly repulsed by the idea to depart from this alley.

Danny's hands slowly slid down the brick wall and cupped them in mine. I was taken aback by this gesture and looked up at him, a puzzled expression written clear across my face. Danny smirked and gripped my right hand, using his own to lift the hood of my hoodie so the rain no longer drenched my head, though it was already soaked so it didn't matter.

"Come on," He whispered, tugging at my hand, walking backwards in the direction opposite of the bowling alley.

"Wha--" I asked blankly. "Where?"

Danny gave me that crooked smile, and I soon found myself less than an inch away from his body. My legs had turned to goo; I had no restraint whatsoever.

"Just come on." His voice was musical with laughter.

"But—but what about Tuck?" I asked him. "And Valer--" I broke off. A heap of guilt was suddenly plowed on top of me.

I had just kissed the boy my best friend was totally infatuated with.

I felt the blood boil underneath my skin. How could I do such an evil thing? Valerie...she was my friend! I had just deceived her. Done the worst thing that a friend could possibly do! Our friendship would be ruined because I made this massive mistake.

I looked up up Danny's shining face, and the woeful guilt evaporated. What did Valerie know about Danny, anyway? What did she care? As long as she could stand next to this godlike creature, Valerie would do anything. She was never her...brutal self around Danny; always a different personality. Danny wasn't like that around her, nor anyone else. I wasn't like that either, that I was aware of. Maybe slightly clumsier, but not a different me.

"They'll be fine," Danny said with a grin. "An hour together'll do them some good."

I furrowed my brow, still delusional from the kiss. What was he talking about?

As I realized what he mean, a smile gradually spread across my face. We were going to take off, leaving Valerie and Tucker to reconcile.

"Are you sure--"

"Sam," Danny said lowly, slightly bending down to so we were now eye level. I gulped and then mentally tried to shove all of the butterflies out of my stomach, only causing more to begin fluttering their wings. He released his grip on my hand and cupped his own under my chin, pulling my face toward his. "I promise."

I studied his bright, big blue eyes, so full of truth and honesty. I couldn't doubt them. I chuckled at my own stupidity. I was pathetic.

"What's so funny?" Danny whispered, his lips almost immobile.

"Just...thinking about how...horrible you are."

"Oh, really?" Danny challenged, raising an eyebrow and dropping his hand. "How so?"

"Making me fall for you."

Danny smiled my favorite crooked smile and leaned in to kiss me once more. I closed my eyes, ignoring my fluttering stomach. Stupid butterflies. This time I tried my best not to faint...there was no wall to catch my fall.

"Then I guess that you're incredibly evil," He said, his lips brushing against my own.

I stood, not moving, in awed silence. Did he metaphorically mean what I thought...no wished that he meant?

Danny took a small step backward. So small that I could barely feel his warmth lift off of me. He let go of my hand and gave me a grin.

"Goin' ghost," He said.

Neon blue rings formed around his middle, splitting apart. One half spread throughout his torso, the other his lower body.

Everything around us seemed to move in slow motion as Danny Fenton became the white haired, green eyed phantom that "haunted" Amity Park.

It was my first time to actually witness the transformation, and it was so breathtaking. Wondrous.

The ghost boy held out a hand, which I eagerly took. He placed his arm firmly around my soaking wet waist. My feet were swept from under me as he lifted me up, and I immediately wrapped my arms tightly around his neck.

Danny chuckled at my obvious apprehension as he adjusted me in his arms so he was now holding me bridal style. I still clung to his neck, though, due to my what I assumed phobia of flying; Danny or no Danny.

"Don't worry," Danny said, as if reading my thoughts with a slight chuckle. "I've got you." I slightly released my death grip

When Danny flew off, a rush of both wind and rain slapped me in the face. I ducked my head, causing my hood to sweep onto my back.

I was anxious...curious to know where he was taking us. Surely not onto another rooftop. The harsh drizzle might morph into a storm. I wanted to ask, but I feared that after I broke this seemingly necessary silence, we would lapse into an awkward one. But I couldn't resist.

"Erm..." I said, looking down at the roof of the bowling alley. "Where are we going?"

"You'll see," Danny teased. I frowned.

"That's not fair," I pointed out, my frown quivering. It was hard to be annoyed by him.

Danny chuckled and used his hand closest to my head to my head to lift up my hood.

A blue puff of smoke flew out of Danny's mouth and he gasped.

"Oh, no," He said grimly, stopping in mid-air. I furrowed my brow and tried to see through the rain about what was so horrible.

"What--" Danny turned around quickly, descending to the ground. What was going on?

"Hold on tight," He ordered. Oblivious to what was going on, I obeyed and clasped my hands as tight as possible around his neck.

He took me to my neighborhood, where the lights inside my home were off. I looked up at him, but he had his head turned to another direction.

Danny lowered me onto the doorstep, his eyes the only thing that lit our surroundings.

"What's going on?" I demanded, edging closer to the door. Danny shook his head.

"Just a ghost." I shuddered and he gave me that crooked smile at my reaction. "See you on Monday." I felt my feet backing up toward the door, listening intently as the rain pattered against the roof. Why was I so weak?

"Right." I said, still smoldered by the smile. "Monday."

I watched as he scanned the rainy sky, furrowed his brow and took off, propping one foot on the door.

Tonight's scenario played over and over through my head. My heart was beating with outrageous excitement. Was it common to feel this way? Or was I one of the pathetically weak beings? Whatever the cause...I liked it. I felt stronger, in a way, yet weaker in many others. My mind buzzed excitedly. For once, I couldn't wait for Monday...or another one of Jack's dinners.

After I fumbled with the key to opening the door and managed to push it open, my hands still shaking from excitement, I was greeted with a surprise.

Pam, whom I assumed would be at work when I got home, was sitting on the couch, staring blankly down at the phone in her hands. I shut the door, still clinging onto the emotions that were overwhelming myself so far. Why she was home this early, I did not know. Nor, at the moment, did I care.

But what she said, however, made me want to drop to my knees. What she confided in me left me in a state of shock. My feeling of giddy evaporated. I tried my hardest to cling onto that wonderful emotion that made me feel powerful, trying to hard to to fall off, landing in a pit of misery. But the look upon her face was too demanding. Too serious.

I felt my hand release its grip onto the emotion, and I was falling toward the endless pit of misery.

((Author's Note: Okay. Very short. Sort of rushed. Very fluffy. Erm...confusing, maybe? I dunno. You'll find out, whatever the...emotion you're feeling right now.

So.

(smug)

Yes, well. The ending may be predictable, or you may just have to wait until I update to see for yourself. Not many installments left, I'm afraid. Normally, this would have been the LAST CHAPTER. (faints) But I wanted to get more plotty. No big deal. Heh. Or is it?

Reviews...they are appreciated. Like...very...very...appreciated. They make me eager to start on the next chapter and the more that come, the more eager I get. Teehee. Plus...YOU GET MUFFINS! (faints)

Okay. Once again...I shall advertise.

SoDFF has an R.P.G section...which will totally get you off of writer's block. Or bring you to more FF idears. Which is good. (jumps for joy) Teehee. SOrry.
