Chapter 8: Day 7, Confession

Danny slept fitfully that night and woke happy. He went ghost and flew down through the floor for breakfast. He, Jazz, Jack, and Maddie spent pretty much the whole day talking and laughing honestly about how his life had been since he'd become a halfa. Maddie was very proud that her son had been protecting Amity Park and Jack was very proud that his son could use 'really cool powers'.

At around 7:00 in the evening, Danny went ghost and flew to Sam's house to tell her how well things had gone and to thank her for her help. The strange thing was, she wasn't there. After searching her entire house, Danny flew the Nasty Burger and then to Tucker's house.

"Hey Tuck. Have you seen Sam?" He asked, slightly worried now. Tucker looked at him strangely.

"I thought you and Sam weren't speaking to me." He said. Danny glared at his friend.

"Tucker, I'm serious! Do you know where Sam is? I couldn't find her at her house and she's not at the Nasty Burger..." Danny said anxiously. Tucker looked surprised.

"Did you try the park?" He asked cautiously. He knew all too well what his ghostly friend was like when he was worried about Sam. Danny's eyes sparked with realization.

"I didn't! She's got to be there! Thanks Tuck!" And with that he flew off at his top speed.

"Whoa, talk about missing your girlfriend." Tucker said to himself as he watched Danny leave at 112 mph.

Danny flew over the park and surveyed the ground, looking for signs that his best friend had been there or was still there. It was getting harder to see. The full moon cast silver shadows everywhere. At last he caught sight of her. He dove and pulled up just in time to keep from landing on his head.

"Sam! I've been looking for you everywhere!" He said, relief flooding his voice as he rushed over to her. Sam smiled.

"Well hello to you too, Danny. So are you glad you told your parents?" Danny smiled.

"I sure am. That's what I came looking for you for. To say thank you." The two friends began walking along the path that led through the park.

"You're welcome. Why were you afraid to tell them in the first place? I mean, they accepted you when Freakshow revealed your secret last month, remember?" Danny nodded.

"Yeah, I remember. I was afraid because of Dan Phantom." Sam frowned in confusion, looking up into his thought-fogged neon green eyes. He sighed and continued.

"Dan Phantom taught me how sensitive the time stream was. One little test; that's all it took to turn my world upside-down. And it very nearly stayed that way. I was lucky to correct the time stream even with Clockwork's help. What else could happen with a simple action like cheating on a test? Anything; that's what. I was afraid because there was a good chance that they might not have accepted me, especially if they found out who Dan really was." Sam's eyes were wide.

"And you can honestly say you're a C student?" Sam said sarcastically, smirking slightly. Danny laughed. They walked in silence for a few minutes, enjoying the cool breeze, the beauty of the full moon, and the silver shadows it cast upon the path and the trees around them.

Danny stopped and turned to his best friend, his expression thoughtful.

"Hey, Sam?" She stopped too and looked up into his beautiful glowing green eyes. They were swimming with curiosity and reflecting the light from the moon tenfold.

"Remember when you were trying to calm me down when I had to tell my parents about my ghost powers?" She nodded, still staring into his shining green eyes.

"What were you going to tell me?" Sam froze. She looked away from Danny and thought for a moment before she made up her mind.

"Danny, I've got a confession to make." She started, avoiding his eyes as best she could. She gulped and tried to find a starting point. Looking around, she spotted the fountain where Danny had once found Desiree.

"Look into the water." She said, knowing this was going to sound really cheesy. He did as he was told and she got the feeling he was looking more at her reflection than at the water itself. She pushed the feeling away.

"Whenever I look into water at night with the moon and the stars shining on its surface, I can't help but think it's beautiful. I always get this feeling that it's calm, that it's content. And it'll always be there for me to stare into. I know it's silly to think of water that way, but I didn't have anything else to compare to. It's the most beautiful thing I've seen other than...than..." She trailed off, staring into the water. She couldn't do it, she just couldn't. The reflection of Danny's soft expression found its way into her range of sight and melted her heart.

"Than what?" He asked gently, his eyes searching. He didn't know quite why, but he suddenly felt the need to comfort Sam; to hold her. He held back, but just barely. Sam took a calming breath and looked up from his reflection and deep into his understanding eyes.

"Than ice blue eyes. Danny, I know this might come as a shock, but please don't hate me for it. You've got a right to know, but please don't abandon me or start feeling all awkward around me when I tell you." Sam pleaded. Danny's expression turned slightly confused.

"Sam, how could I ever hate you? What could ever make me abandon you? What are trying to say that's so hard?" He asked, the need to hold Sam in his arms growing.

"I love you." Sam whispered. She watched fearfully as Danny's jaw dropped slightly and a vacant expression took over his features; he was deep in thought.

Breathe, Danny. Breathe. Come on, you remember how! Holy crap, she loves me? Can she really feel the same as I do about 'us'?

Dude, you're just staring at her with a vacant expression. She's gonna think you're rejecting her! SNAP OUT OF IT!

What? Oh, duh! I gotta tell her. Or...

Sam had been watching Danny silently battling with his thoughts for what seemed to her hours. Her eyes filled and threatened to overflow as she stepped back from the silent ghost. The movement seemed to wake him from his thoughts and he looked up, his eyes soft.

"Sam?" He whispered. She waited for him to speak.

"Did you mean what you just said?" His mouth seemed dry with longing. Oh, if only he hadn't imagined Sam telling him she loved him.

"How could I not?" Sam said quietly; she still wondered what was going on in his head. She so hoped he understood. He stepped toward her, his eyes swimming with a glimmer she couldn't place, and she gasped inwardly. Was he going to do what she hoped he was going to do, or was he going to fly away from her forever? At nerves end, Sam began to speak again,

"Danny? You don't hate me, do you?" She asked, hoping against hope his answer was no.

"We can still be fr-" She was cut off as his lips swallowed her words. She closed her eyes in ecstasy and wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him closer. She felt him wrap his arms possessively around her waist. She shivered with pleasure and enjoyed the kiss even more. His lips tasted so wonderful. They were cold, but also soft, caring, and full of passion. She didn't even jump as two silver rings enveloped the ghost boy's body and transformed him back into Danny Fenton. He was so much warmer than Phantom, and just as passionate. Sam tugged gently on his bottom lip and he smiled into their kiss, obliging to her near-desperate request.

Their tongues played with each other in a passionate battle for dominance. Both were near breathless, but they didn't part. Danny savored the taste of Sam's lips and wrapped his tongue around hers. He was in heaven.

When they finally parted, both panting for air, Danny smiled warmly at the girl of his dreams.

"Does that answer your questions?" He asked, still holding her close. Sam smiled up at him with more warmth than he thought possible. It made his heart melt to see her smile at him like that; especially when he knew he would be the only one that would ever see it.

"Not yet. What took you so long?" Sam asked breathlessly. Danny chuckled, his ice blue eyes sparkling in the moonlight.

"Honesty." Sam smiled back at him.

"I feel like I'm in a cheesy romance movie." She said. They both laughed, but their laughter was soon replaced by silence; each looking into each other's eyes; each thinking the other had the most beautiful eyes in the world.

Sam leaned forward to receive another kiss from the guy of her dreams when they were suddenly interrupted by someone laughing.

"And so the wish is granted! Seven days gone and honesty repaired! Here is your freedom back!" Desiree said, smiling and letting purple mist flow from her outstretched fingers. The mist wrapped itself around Danny and Sam and when it cleared, the wishing ghost was gone.

"What just happened?" Sam asked pulling herself out of Danny's arms and began examining herself, looking for any damage the purple mist may have done. Everything looked the same.

"I don't know." Danny said slowly, also looking himself over. He found nothing out of the ordinary. And then a thought crossed his mind.

"Oh my gosh! What if she took my ghost powers away!" He said, quickly summoning the silver rings, which successfully turned him from Fenton to Phantom. He frowned in confusion and looked over at Sam, who had her mouth hanging open.

"Sam? Are you okay?" He asked, concern flooding his voice and his eyes. She looked at him and smiled.

"I sure hope so! Danny, lie to me!"

"What?"

"Just do it!" Sam said excitedly. Still baffled, Danny tried to think of something ridiculous.

"Uh, my Dad hates fudge?" He said, hoping he would satisfy Sam. She flung herself into his arms and hugged him.

"Yes! The spell's broken! We can lie again! Your secret's safe again!" She shouted. Danny winced and covered his ears.

"Sam, if you're gonna yell, could you please not do it in my ear? But that's GREAT!" He said. They both burst out laughing.

"Hey Danny?" Sam said several minutes later once they'd calmed down a bit.

"Yeah?" Danny said, moving closer to her. The two had laid down on the grass beside each other and were just relaxing in each other's presence.

"How do you think Desiree got loose?" She asked curiously. Danny sighed.

"I don't know. But it doesn't matter now. I'll catch her later. All that matters now is being here with you." Danny said softly. Sam smiled and blushed.

"Daniel Fenton, you are the cheesiest boy I've ever met. But you're also the sweetest." She said, kissing him deeply for the second time that night.

"I love you, Sam." Danny said as the broke the kiss.

"I love you too, Danny." Sam said, her eyes sparkling with honesty.
