Chapter 4: Day 3, A Halfa and Guys in White
(Danny's POV)
I felt myself waking up, but I didn't want to open my eyes. I groaned softly. Everything ached. Then I remembered: Sam! Sam and I fell off a building! My eyes snapped open and I found myself lying (as Danny Fenton) on a cot in what appeared to be a deserted apartment. I sat up and had to focus what energy I had on not yelping in pain. I put a hand to my head and closed my eyes to wait for the wave of pain to fade. Man, talk about killer headaches. I thought wearily.
Just then, someone entered the room. I turned my head to find it was Valerie. A million thoughts raced through my mind as she came over to me.
"How are you feeling?" She asked. I didn't know what she knew, but it wasn't as if it mattered, 'cause I couldn't control my answers thanks to TUCKER!
"All right, considering I just got blasted off a building." Great job, Fenton, you just managed to turn a simple answer into a possibly revealing arrangement of words! I though angrily. Valerie sighed.
"Danny..." She started, looking down at the floor.
"I'm really sorry I ever thought you were evil. Why didn't you just tell me? I'd have understood." I tried not to laugh at that.
"Well, I didn't think you would understand, because even if I was your friend, I was still a ghost." Valerie seemed to understand and told him.
"I know. But you don't have to worry anymore, because I've moved you off my most wanted list."
"Is Sam okay?" I asked, completely changing the subject. Valerie turned away and motioned for me to follow her. She led me into the guest bedroom and I saw her. Sam was lying on the bed, looking as if merely asleep.
"She's been out for a while, but she'll make it." Valerie said to me. I knelt by the bed and ran my fingers along her face.
"Sammy? Sammy, wake up. Val says she's not going to try to kill me anymore." I cooed, now running my fingers through her raven hair.
She opened her eyes and looked up at me. I smiled.
"Danny? Are you all right? You look pale." Sam said weakly. I heard Valerie crack up laughing behind me. I turned.
"What's your problem?" I asked her.
"Clueless!" She said simply. I glared and turned back to Sam.
"I'm fine. We just fell off a building is all." Sam smiled and I helped her up. She rubbed the back of her head.
"So, Val knows you're Danny Phantom, huh?"
"Yup. And she's cool with it, too!"
(General POV)
All of a sudden, Valerie's door was kicked in and a cloud of dust surrounded the newcomers. The three teens jumped, Sam grabbed a Fenton Pocket Blaster, Valerie donned her red high-tech battle suit, and Danny went ghost. When the dust cleared, the Guys in White stood on the threshold.
"Ghost Kid! Surrender now!" They shouted in unison, weapons raised and ready to fire. Danny went invisible and intangible, grabbed Sam and Valerie, and flew threw the roof.
Once outside, Danny flew at top speed to the park and he set the two girls down.
"You two stay here." He said urgently.
"The Brainless Government Drones in White are dangerous and I don't want you getting hurt. They want me, not you." And with that he flew away back to Valerie's apartment. Sam and Valerie stared after the phantom for a moment before locking eyes and nodding in unspoken consent. Valerie jumped on her hover board and expanded it for Sam. Sam climbed on and they sped off after the heroic, if egotistical, ghost.
The Guys in White, meanwhile, had donned their intangibility suits and were flying after Danny Phantom. Danny, who had enough sense to stay invisible, watched as they zoomed by him. He sent two ectoplasmic blasts at the men's suits, frying them both.
"Deconstruction of intangibility suits. Mayday, I repeat, mayday." The pale-skinned Guy in White said flatly as the plummeted to the ground.
"Deploy emergency parachutes immediately." The dark-skinned Guy in White said. He obviously thinking a bit clearly than his partner, pulled a cord on his back and his parachute deployed. The pale Guy in White pressed a button instead and a jetpack started up.
"You were instructed to deploy the emergency parachute." His partner said.
"Affirmative. My parachute stuck. I activated the jetpack to save my existence." The other rolled his eyes and spotted Danny, who had turned visible upon the shock of seeing Sam and Valerie zooming towards the fight.
"Ghost Kid spotted! Fire at will!" The dark-skinned Guy in White said energetically. He pulled out an ecto-gun and fired. Danny gasped, barely moving out of the way in time.
"Will you ever get it through your thick heads? I'm NOT EVIL!" Danny shouted, dodging yet another ecto-blast.
"Oh, yeah, then what are you?" Danny stopped in mid-air as he tried not to answer. His head began pounding. He didn't think he could keep airborne if he kept his mouth shut, but he didn't know what he was going to be forced to say.
"I'm half ghost, that's what!" He shouted, letting the truth slip. His head quit aching and his eyes widened. Oh no. He thought. The Guys in White stopped firing.
"What's the other half?" One asked cautiously.
"Human." Danny said, defeated. He knew he was done for now. There was no way he was going to get out of this one.
And that's when Sam started pressing buttons on Valerie's hover board. Valerie noticed this.
"Sam! What are you doing?" She yelled, eyes wide.
"Saving Danny!" Sam yelled back as she sent a missile at the Guys in White. They saw the mad Goth girl and red huntress and stared. Then they saw a missile speeding in their direction.
"Time to flee from the mad ghost hunters?" The pale skinned Guy in White asked plainly.
"Time to flee from the mad ghost hunters." The other said, just as calmly. And with that they pressed a button on their suits and an F-16 fighter jet came seemingly out of nowhere. They jumped in and flew off. Danny flew to the ground and landed, followed shortly by Sam and Valerie.
"I thought I told you two to stay out of the fight." He said. Valerie backed away slightly as she saw the blood rush to the Goth girl's face.
"We save YOUR BUTT and you're REPRIMANDING US FOR BUTTING INTO THE FIGHT!" Sam yelled, eyes flaming. Danny gulped.
"Now, Sam, I didn't mean it that way." He said, also backing away.
"I just didn't want you to get hurt. You know I could never forgive myself if anything happened to you."
Sam's expression softened. She wondered why she even tried to get angry with him. He just had that way of melting her heart.
"Well, I guess I can let it go this time." She mumbled. Valerie smirked and silently left the halfa and the Goth alone.
"But don't you try to keep me from a fight again, because I don't want to see you hurt either! Get it?" Danny smiled, confident now that she'd calmed down.
"Got it." He said.
"Do you want a ride home?" Sam blushed.
"Do you really have to ask?" Danny laughed and took her in his arms, launching them both into the sky.
Later that night, Danny touched down on Sam's balcony and set her down. She looked up to him, smiling softly.
"Thanks for flying me home, Danny. I really enjoyed it." Danny smiled back.
"No problem, I like flying you around. It's nice to have some company when I'm up there." They both blushed and turned away.
"Well, goodnight." Danny said, looking back into her amethyst eyes.
"Goodnight." Sam said, looking into those deep glowing emerald eyes. He smiled and leapt into the air. She watched him until he disappeared from view.
Sighing, Sam went back into her room. She fell onto her back on her bed and stared at the ceiling for a while, just thinking. She loved it when Danny took her flying. It made her feel so free of everything, just being in his arms with the wind blowing past her face.
Suddenly thinking of something, Sam jumped off of her bed and reached underneath the mattress. After feeling around for a minute, she pulled out a little black notebook with a small silver lock fixed to it.
Slowly, Sam removed the key from her pillowcase and unlocked the book. Slower still, thinking of what she was about to do with fear, hope, and anticipation, she opened the book and flipped to a blank page. I can't lie, so why not tell the truth? She thought, lowering the pen to the paper, hoping she hadn't been lying to herself for the past year. And she wrote it.
Sam smiled at the book where she had written a single, honest line and read it aloud quietly.
"I love Danny Fenton."
