Chapter 3: I have to

"Speech"

/ Thought /

/' That little voice in your head '/

Danny was looking threw the park for the Fenton thermos// Where is it? I bet Sam found it and took it home/ He flew off towards Sams house. He didn't really mind going to see Sam, even this late.

As he got nearer to Sams house his ghost blood ran hot upon seeing Sam on the roof of her house, then colder then even a ghost blood should. With out warning or being pushed or anything she stepped off the edge.

"No!" His cry was lost to the wind. Danny flew as fast as he could /I'm not going to make it/

/' Unless'/

Danny gathered all the extra power he could and shot two ghost beams out of his hands, the extra force shot him forward even faster.

Sam was three feet from the ground when Danny caught her, he turned them intangible and they scraped the ground before he pulled them up. Sam opened her eyes as Danny flew them threw the air, "Why did you have to save me? Why couldn't you have let me fall, let me die?"

"Sam! I don't know whats going on but I'm never going to let you kill your self!"

Sam threw her arms around Danny and buried her head in the crock of his neck and started to cry, " Their gone, their dead!"

"Whos dead?" Danny asked confused.

"M-my par-ren-ts, ther-re dead"

"Sam, I'm sorry" Sam cried on his shoulder till they reached his house. Danny carried Sam in to the living room where Jazz was watching tv, Before she could ask what was going on Danny said, "Jazz could you make the guest room?"

"Ok" Jazz stood up and walked upstairs.

Danny set Sam on the couch, "Sam, tell me exactly what happened"

" My parents were on a helicopter heading to the Iceland museum. Something happened. The pilot got out, but they recovered two bodies, my parents were the only people on besides the pilot." Danny stared at Sam not knowing what to do. "You should have let me fall, I've lost everything."

"No you haven't! You still have Tucker and me!" Danny grabbed her by the shoulders and looked in to her eyes. Sam was about to reply when Maddie ran into the room. Danny and Sam pulled apart quickly each turning red at having been caught like that but Maddie didn't seem to notice. She went straight over to Sam. "Sam dear, whats wrong?"

"My parents are dead" Maddie wrapped Sam in a bone crushing hug, Danny was sure he heard at least one of Sams ribs crack. "Sam where so sorry"

"Thank you Mrs Fenton."

"Hey mom, Sams going to stay the night ok?"

"Of course! Does your uncle know you here?"

"Yeah, he said I should spend the night with friends"

"Ok, I'll go help Jazz make up the guest room then" Maddie walked up the stairs. Sam couldn't believe it, she had blown Dannys secret and was now staying at his house. It hurt almost as much as losing her family. Sam couldn't help it, she broke down crying again.

Danny wrapped Sam in his arms, she cried on and on till she didn't have anymore tears and kept going. An hour later she finally stopped crying and fell asleep against Danny. Jazz walked over to them, "Sams room is ready, need any help getting her up there?"

"No I can manage." Danny scooped Sam up bridal style and carried her up the stairs. If he didn't know better he could have sworn that she was smiling. / It's a good thing shes already in her pajamas./ Danny lay her down and covered her with the blankets. Then he sat down in a chair next to the bed.

Sams dreams were haunted by nightmares, her parents were there but then they went up in a puff of smoke and flames. Their ghosts showed up later to try and put her in a pink dress filled with sharp teeth. Earl was some kind of puppet king pulling her strings, but every time he pulled her strings they tore her flesh to shreds. Danny came but wouldn't help because she had told his secret.

Sam woke up in a cold sweat, pale morning light filled her room. No it wasn't her room, Sam panicked for a minute before the previous night surfaced in her mind. As she remembered the hallow feeling spread threw her body. Sam looked around the guest room and was surprised to see Danny hunched over a chair next to her bed// did he spend the night/

As if answering her silent question Danny stirred, "Hey Sam, your awake."

"Yeah"

"Umm, should we get some breakfast?"

"Alright" Sam got out of bed.

"Wow!" Danny nearly fell out of the chair. Sam looked down to see what had freaked Danny out, her pants, which were big on her, had slid down exposing her pale thigh. Thankfully the shirt was long enough to keep her panties covered. What was exposed Danny would have seen if Sam had worn a swimsuit, but she only swam at night and hadn't gone swimming with Danny or Tucker in years. "Sorry about that" Sam pulled up her pants.

Danny mumbled something like "Sorry". His face was turning so red that Sam was worried it might explode. Danny seemed to be completely zoned out so Sam went down to get something to eat. Sam didn't really want to eat but she had to do something, besides, Dannys embarrassment had put her in a slightly better mood.

When Sam walked in to the kitchen Jazz was sitting at the table reading a newspaper, "Hey Sam, how are you feeling?"

"Numb" Sam set down and poured a bowl of In-vis-O. Some big shot business man had the idea to use ghost to advertise the cereal. 'The cereal that gives you the power of a ghost'. They were pretty much pure sugar. They had even gone to the trouble of trying to track down Danny Phantom to use him as the spokesman, Danny had turned them down of course, even thou Sam pretty much left him no choice in the matter. Now they used a ghost Panda named Phanty. Danny had once bought Sam a stuffed Phanty saying it would remind her why they were now eating a ghost pandas cereal. Sam still had it too, she always slept with it.

Thinking about home brought memories of her parents to mind, how she would never see them again. The spoon she was about to put in her mouth froze in mid-air.

Sam was still lost in her thoughts when Danny walked in, his face was still noticeably red. Jazz looked at him, "Where have you been? And why is your face so red? Are you feeling ok? Do you have a fever?"

"I'm fine, where I've been is my business not yours."

"Oh I know where you've been, you were sleeping with Sam." Both Sam and Danny had just put a spoon full of cereal in their mouths and started chocking on them. "Would you two grow up? I didn't mean it like that, what I mean is that you two slept in the same room. I saw you sleeping in the chair when I looked in to check on Sam."

Luckily for Danny and Sam the door bell rang and Danny jumped up to answer it. When he opened the door Tucker walked in, "Hey Danny" Tucker walked in to the kitchen. He s froze when he saw Sam, "Hey Sam your over here early, and in your P.J.'s?" The three of them had a lot of sleep overs, but it was always the three of them, even if one couldn't make it they were at least invited.

"Aww man! You guys had a sleep over party and didn't invite me!"

"It wasn't a party Tuck" Danny said sitting down next to Sam.

"Then whys Sam over here so early and in he P.J's?"

"Because my parents are dead" Sam said dryly.

"Oh man, Sam I'm sorry I didn't know."

Sam tried to give Tucker a smile but it was forced and he just gave her a worried look. Sam stood up and rinsed her bowl in the sink. Jazz walked up behind her, "Come on I'll leaned you some clothes."

"Thats ok, I have some"

"How? I didn't see you bring any with you last night"

Tucker stuck his head up from behind the fridge door, "Well with all of Dannys ghost fighting, we figured that it would be a good idea if each of us had a change of clothes at the others houses."

"Oh, well I guess that was a good idea."

Sam walked up to Dannys room and went threw his closet looking for the little black back she had her extra clothes in, she found it under a pair of his old sneakers. / Glad I put a jacket in here, now I won't have to emplane the bruises./ sam really wasn't looking forward to going home// maybe I could stay here with Danny/

/' That would be a good start, but you need to tell him what Earl did to you. '/

/ I can't, if I do Earl will tell Dannys secret/

/' Can you go on like this? '/

"I have to"
