Chapter 5: A new trick.

"Speech"

/ Thoughts /

/' That little voice in your head '/

The next day school went by normally till just after second period. As they were walking down the hall Paulina came up to them. "Oh great" Sam rolled her eyes, " What do you want?"

"I'm not one of the nicest people at this school, especially to losers like you. But I heard what happened to you parents, and I'm sorry." All the sarcasms and nastiness were gone from her voice.

"Ah, thanks"

Once Paulina had walked away tucker said, "That was strange." What was really strange was that at lunch even Dash came over and gave Sam his condolences

Their last class was Mr. Lancers and as always he gave them way to much homework. When the bell rang Mr Lancer said, "Sam would you please stay after a minute? I wish to speak with you." He waited to everyone else had left before addressing Sam. "I heard about your parents and I'm very sorry. If theres anything I can do to help you don't hesitate to ask, also I won't be expecting any work from you for my class this week."

"Thank you Mr. Lancer" Sam couldn't believe the Mr. Lancer was saying she didn't have to do the work for his class, that never happened. Sam walked out of Mr. Lancers class room to find Tucker and Danny waiting for her in the hall. "You guys didn't have to wait for me"

"We just wanted to make sure that Lancer didn't want give you detention or anything."

"So Sam you want to go see a movie?" Danny asked.

"Sure, just let me put a few things in my locker." They made their way down the deserted hall, a blue wisp escaped Dannys mouth.

"Beware! For I am the Box ghost!"

"Guys?" Sam and Tucker checked the hallway.

"All clear." There was a flash and there stood Danny Phantom.

"Fool! You can not defeat me now that I have this!" He held up a rubric cube. He gave it a twist and the lockers on either side of Danny smashed together.

"Danny!" Sam and Tucker yelled. Danny ghosted out of the top of the lockers. "That the best you got?"

"Take this!" He twisted it again and a blue beam shot out and hit the lockers. The locker opened and Danny was sucked in.

"Hey! Let me out!" Danny tried to ghost out of the locker but couldn't.

"Ha! With this! I can turn any cubicle object in to a ghost container!"

"Then how about this?" Tucker grabbed the fire hose off the wall and shot a river of water at the Box ghost, he was thrown threw the ceiling.

"Great skating shakespear! What have you children done to the hall!" Mr. Lance walked past the smashed lockers to where Tucker was holding the limp fire hose.

"It wasn't our fault" Tucker said, "It was the Box ghost!"

"Really? Then may I ask why you're the one holding the fire hose?"

"He had to use it to get rid of the box ghost" Sam said helping Danny out of the locker, he had heard Lancer and turned back in to Danny Fenton.

"Sorry Mr. Lancer" Danny said once he was on the ground again, "But the box ghost smashed the lockers and then threw me in to one."

"I suppose you children couldn't have slammed these lockers together like this, But what were you still doing here?"

"Remember you wanted to talk with me after class? Danny and Tucker waited around for me and I needed to put some books in my locker but then the box ghost showed up."

"Very well, you three may leave. I'll take care of the paper work for this." Sam, Danny and Tucker walked towards the exit.

"Great now even the box ghost can beat me," Danny shoved his hands in to his pockets.

"Don't worry about it Danny, next time you just need to suck the box ghost in to the Fenton thermos before he sucks you in to anything."

"Ok, I guess that I better hold the thermos from now on Tuck"

"I thought you had it"

"No, Sam?"

"Yeah, when you caught desire that night you left it behind. I have it at my house."

"Ok, I'll swing by later and get it" They opened the door and were meet by the rain. Tucker glanced at his watch,

"Wow it got late fast, I'll have to take a rain check on the movie." He ran threw the rain under his umbrella.

"Shit! I forgot my umbrella, Danny mind if I share yours?"

"Ok" He took out his ice blue umbrella, it was large enough for three people to stand under and still stay dry. They walked down the street, only a few other people were out because the rain had picked up considerably. Danny however didn't really notice the cold or the rain, he was filled with the warm feeling from Sam leaning on his arm as they walked.

Sam leaned on Dannys arm as they walked, she was feeling numb again. She knew that she would have to tell Danny soon, but she was determined to enjoy what little time she had left with him. Plus she still felt numb from her parents death, she felt that if she let go of Danny she would slip in to the rain and be washed away.

Her phone went off, "Hello, yes, alright I'll tell him." Sam stuck the phone back in her pocket, "That was your mom, she wants you home as soon as possible"

"Ok, here" He handed Sam the umbrella.

"No, my house is only a block away, I'll just run to it."

"Its ok, I'll just fly home."

"Ok but be careful, you don't have much practice flying in storms."

"Whats the worst that could happen?"

"You could get hit by lightning and wined up all ghost" She said only half jokingly. Thunder clapped in the distance.

Danny ran in to a deserted ally before going ghost. Danny gave her a smile, his white hair was already soaked and stuck to hid forehead. / God how can he look so good//

Danny gave her a smile before flying off, there was a strange pain in his chest like it was shrinking and squeezing his heart. He looked back at Sam as she slowly walked down the street. She looked almost like a orphan, then it hit him, she was. The squeezing in his chest got tighter.

Unbeknownst to anyone, even Danny, a small tear rolled from his eye and mixed with the rain on his face.

Danny landed in an ally not far from his house before turning back in to his human form and running the rest of the way home.

"Danny!" Maddie was waiting for him when he got in, "Your soaked! What happened to you umbrella?"

"Sam has it, she forgot hers" That seemed to end the conversation, they walked in to the kitchen.

Jack was carrying a box of ghost gear up from the lab, "Jazz, Danny, your mother and I am leaving right away for a ghost fighters convention in New York City. Jazz your in charge, house rules apply, we don't know how long we'll be gone so be good."

Maddie got in to the Fenton RV and turned to Danny and Jazz, "Sorry about having to leave like this" they drove off.

Jazz turned to Danny, "Was it just me or were they acting even stranger then usual?"

Sam slowly walked home, Earl hadn't done anything to her in a while so maybe he felt sorry for her, or less likely he was upset about his brothers death. Thinking about her father drained the last of her strength. She could barely even left her boots. She wanted to break down and cry but forced herself to keep walking.

When sam opened the door she froze, Earl was standing in front of her with a flat box wrapped like a Christmas present. "Samantha, I'm so glad your home, I have company coming over soon and want you to play maid."

Sam swallowed, the box contained a normal maids outfit with long sleeves. She changed in to it and went down to the kitchen and waited for Earl to call her. / If they try anything I'll run, I'll call Danny and he'll get me, then I'll tell him/ Sam heard the bell, she took a deep breath and walked out in to the dining room. Her plans came crashing down around her.

(A/N: Ok I think thats a good place to end this chapter. Let me know what you think. I hope everyone enjoyed it and in the next chapter Danny finds out and isn't very happy at someone. I'll try to get it up soon.)
