A/N: Love Wicked. Love Danny Phantom. It was about time my two loves came together for one kick-ass story! You know the drill, I don't own Wicked or Danny Phantom but I do own Liz, Jamie, Rebecca, Alex, Robert, Lauren and any other people I didn't mention.

This story is dedicated to my best bud, Mariann.

"The only good story is a love story..."

Danny, Sam, and Tucker ran through the hall. Sam pulled Danny and Tucker through the growing crowds. The boys reluctantly trotted along.

"Come on guys, it can't be that bad." Sam urged her two friends.

"Yes it is, it's the school musical, they're always horrible. Every year something happens to ruin it." Tucker moaned.

"Yea, do you remember last year? Little Shop of Horrors? That plant they ordered for Audrey II never showed up and they had to use a painted box." Danny reminded his friends.

"Yea, or the year before that, when we Grease? The golf cart they used for Grease Lighting ran out of gas in the middle of the stage." Tucker laughed.

"Well, we won't try out. I just want to see what this year's disaster is going to be." Sam still pulled the two boys along. She finally ley go when they came to a red and white bulletin board. In big letters, it read:

Casper High's 73rd Annual School Musical

will be

WICKED

Try out's will be held on Friday for the following parts:

Elphaba

Glinda

Boq

Fiyero

Nessarose

"It's a disaster in the making." Tucker mumbled as he read the sign.

"Yea, too bad. This one actually sounds cool." Danny said as he read a summery of the musical that was also on the board.

"Oh my god!" Sam shouted, "I love this musical! I have to try out!" She grabbed one of the try out sheets for Elphaba.

"What are you thinking!" Tucker tried to take the sheet away from Sam, "The Casper High musical is cursed; you can't try out! You'll end up with a broken leg or something!"

Sam pulled the sheet from his grasp.

"I don't care. I was born to play Elphaba! Have you ever even seen this musical? It's the best! Danny, you try out for Fiyero! It would be great, we could sing together."

Danny looked a t Sam with a perplexed stare. He had never seen her so set on something. Sam stared down at her try-out sheet with a huge smile on her face. Well, as big of a smile as a goth could muster. Even more to Danny and Tucker's amazement, Sam began to sing.

"Something has changed within me." She looked up from her paper and started to walk toward the entrance of the school. "Something is not the same. I'm through with playing by the rules of someone else's game." She was outside with a very confused and surprised pair behind her. "Too late for second-guessing. Too late to go back to sleep…" She walked down the entrance stairway and went onto the ledge. It was quite a jump to the ground from there. "It's time to trust my instincts, close my eyes: and leap!" Much to everyone's amazement, Sam jumped and started getting into her song, like no one was watching. Truth was, the whole school was staring at her. "It's time to try defying gravity! I think I'll try defying gravity, and you can't pull me down!"
Suddenly, a girl Danny had never met before; a girl with grey eyes and sandy colored hair; started to sing. "Can't I make you understand? You're having delusions of grandeur!"
Sam kept singing, like the girl and her had planned it all along. "I'm through accepting limits, 'cuz someone says they're so, some things I cannot change but till I try, I'll never know! Too long I've been afraid of losing love I guess I've lost…Well, if that's love, it comes at much too high a cost!" Sam was dancing around like she was in some sort of trance (musicals can do that to you!)

"I'd sooner buy defying gravity! Kiss me goodbye I'm defying gravity; and you can't pull me down…" Sam turned to the girl who had sung and half spoke, half sung the next lines to her. "Glinda— come with me. Think of what we could do: together. Unlimited… Together we're unlimited; together we'll be the greatest team there's ever been…Glinda– dreams, the way we planned 'em."

"If we work in tandem…" the girl sang.
Then both of them joined together and sang their next lines, "There's no fight we cannot win…Just you and I defying gravity! With you and I defying gravity."
Sam slowly came back to reality but finished her song; "They'll never bring us down…"

Sam finally came back to Earth. She looked around and seemed to turn redder with every person she saw staring. All were silent with amazement. After a moment, many of the surrounding people broke out in applause. This succeed in making Sam turn even redder. She walked up the steps and sat on the ledge she had just jumped off of.
"Danny can I have my backpack please?" Sam asked sweetly to Danny. She had a huge grin on her face, despite her red tinge. Danny gave Sam her backpack, still staring at her with an open mouth.

"Where did you learn to sing like that?" he managed to choke out.

"No one learns to sing like that," the girl that had sung with Sam, said from the ground, "It comes with the package." She swung herself onto the ledge with ease.

"Well, I couldn't have done it without you. Thanks for backing me up." Sam thanked the girl and took a giant gulp of water from a bottle she had gotten out from her backpack.

"Well, I thought if you were willing to make a fool of yourself in front of the entire student body, I may as well make you look not as insane."

Sam's face turned red again.

"So, Elphaba, what's your real name. Or do you love Wicked so much that you actually changed it to Elphaba?" The girl gave a sly grin.

"I'm Sam." Sam replied with an outstretched hand. "What about you, Glinda?"

"I go by Liz, but Glinda's fine too." Liz said, shaking Sam's hand.

"Well, thank you, Liz." Sam smiled back at her. "I can safely assume that you're trying out for Glinda in the musical, right?"

"Of course. I probably won't get it, but at least I'll have tried, huh?" Liz shrugged.

"What are you talking about; you're great! Of course you'll get the part!" Danny exclaimed.

Liz turned red at his praise. "Thank you. But I never get the lead in the musical. I'm always in the background."

"Well, that's a good thing," Tucker said finally, "at least you don't have to embarrass yourself every year."

Liz looked at him questionably. Then she turned to Sam.

"He thinks that the school musical is cursed…" Sam explained.

Liz gave her a look of understanding. "It sure does seem that way, huh? Something goes wrong every year."

Tucker looked triumphant that someone finally agreed with him. Liz laughed at this.

"Well I don't care if it is cursed. Not even a flying farm house could stop me from trying out."

Sam laughed and stood up. "Well I have to go. Thanks again Liz."

"No problem. See you at try-outs on Friday." Liz grabbed her backpack and jumped off the wall.

"She seems nice." Danny said.

"Yeah, she does." Sam looked after her, then turned her attention to Danny. "Come on, Fiyero, we need to get you a try-out sheet."

Sam started to pull Danny along but Danny's feet stayed firmly in place. "Sam, I don't want to try-out. I can't even sing!"

"Oh, come o! I'll teach you to sing better." Sam pulled harder.

"Well…hey! Liz just told us that no one learns to ding like that; that it comes with the package, remember?" Danny replied.

"Well, you have the package, you just need to open it." Sam stated simply.

Danny thought about this for a moment before he spoke. "Okay," he gave in; he saw the smile on Sam's face, "on one condition. If we both make it, I'll do it. But if you don't make it, I quit." Danny stated defiantly.

Sam laughed, "Fine. Come on, before all the sheets are gone."

A/N: one thing, sorry if I said "well" too much. I just noticed that right now...
