(A/N: Hello, so many people asked I had to get to work on this chapter right away, well almost right away, with just a little break. I would like some reviews, there are a lot of people reading this story but not to many reviewing. Also I'm sorry for any mistakes I make in this chapter but someone threatened to blow-up my school today and I left early.)

Disclaimer: I don't own Danny Phantom, now how many of you are surprised to learn that?

Family is always there

Chapter 8: A gain and lose

The next morning there was a light drizzle outside but the school was open again. Jazz drove Danny and Sam to school so they wouldn't have to walk in the rain. Tucker was waiting for the in front of the school, they walked down the hall shacking of the little water that had landed on them. The lockers had already been fixed and Dash had stuffed some poor kid in to one. Paullina stepped around the corner, "Danny I'm sorry about yesterday, you to Sam". Then she stepped around them and walked away.

Sam had her hands clinched and Danny and Tucker had to steer her to their first period class to keep her from going after Paullina. Nothing much happened except the men in white showed up and gave he class a lecturer about how ghost really didn't excites. It was kind of pointless because everyone in class had seen at least one ghost.

By the time school was let out the rain had picked up again, Valerie offered to have her dad drive them to Danny's house so they could watch movies and hang out. Since none of them had a ride home, Jazz was working on the winter dance that was coming up next month, and since Tucker had walked to school they agreed. "We have to watch this!" Tucker said taking out a Saw 2 DVD as soon as Valerie's dad dropped them off.

They were all setting in Danny's living room because it had a huge TV in it. The curtains weren't drawn but the room was fairly dark because of the thick clouds and rain. Danny and Sam were sitting on the couch and Tucker and Valerie were sitting on the floor in front of them. As soon as the first scary part came on the movie Sam and Valerie both jumped and grabbed Danny and Tucker and they all figured out why Tucker had picked this move, but no one mentioned it.

Soon Sam was lying back against Danny with his arms wrapped around her, She couldn't help but feel safe with him. Once you weren't scared of the movie it was almost funny, in a blood and guts kind of way. Of course every time there was a scary part Sam hugged herself to Danny, hey she wasn't going to waist this opportunity.

When the movie was over Tucker started to flip threw the channels looking for something else to watch. "Oh stay here" Valerie said. Tucker stopped on the original trimmers movie.

Sam hadn't seen it before but she liked it, it was about a really small town, maybe twenty people who had to get away from huge worms. (A/N: It's a lot better then I make it sound) The worms had a lot of tongues and could pull cars underground. At one point they were looking for a sheepherder who had disappeared, they found his hat in the middle of the sheep pen and when they picked it up they found his half barred head frozen in a scream. Sam pushed herself back into Danny a little to hard, "Oof"

"Sorry" Sam said turning red with embarrassment.

"Don't worry about it" Danny pulled Sam closer to him so she couldn't wiggle around anymore.

In the middle of the movie the store owner decided to call the worms grabloids, they then broke threw the floor and ate him. By the end of the movie when they tricked the last grabloid in to digging out the side of a cliff and falling to its doom Danny and Sam had fallen asleep.

"Should we wake them up?" Valerie asked Tucker, they did look cute together. Danny was stretched out on the couch with Sam on top of him, she was resting comfortably on his chest.

"I don't think so" Tucker said snapping a few pictures with his PDA before covering them in Sam's blanket and tapping a note to it. "Lets go Valerie, I'll walk you home." They walked very close together so they could keep dry under her yellow umbrella.

When Jazz walked in the house, which was very dark, she flipped on the lights and found Danny and Sam on the couch sleeping. There was a note stuck to them,

Love birds sleeping, do not wake.

-Tucker

Jazz smiled at them. They were both smiling, Sam had an expression of peace on her face, Danny's was more serious like he was trying to protect her even while they slept. Jazz walked in to the kitchen to see what she could find for dinner.

Danny was aware of a weight on him, he opened his eye a crack and saw Sam. He couldn't remember why they were like this but he loved it, he loved her. He closed his eyes and went back to sleep.

Sam woke up in Danny's arms, she loved it. She didn't want to move but something smelled good and her stomach started growling. Sam slipped out from between Danny's arms, a frown crossed his face as she stood up. / He's so cute/.

Sam walked in to the kitchen where Jazz was sitting eating grilled vegetables, "Hey Sam, have a seat."

Sam sat down and started to eat, "This is pretty good"

"Thanks, so you and Danny enjoy your nap?"

Sam turned red, "Um, yea."

Jazz smiled, "You really like Danny don't you?"

Sam nearly choked, "What! I mean yea, he's my best friend"

"I mean do you like him as more then a friend?" Jazz smiled at Sam's blush, "Come on, you can tell me"

Sam turned her head away so Jazz couldn't see how read she was. Sam felt uncomfortable talking to Jazz about this. " He's always there for me, even though I told his secret." Before Sam could finish her sentence Danny walked in.

"Hey Jazz" He sat down and made a face when he saw what was on the table. " Grilled vegetables?" He guessed.

"Come on Danny, a little green in your diet won't kill you." Jazz said pilling vegetables on his plate.

"These might" He picked one up and tried to snap it in half, " They're like steel. I'm going to see if I can find anything to eat." Danny stood up and walked to the fridge. He began to shifting threw the fridge's content. He opened the draw where his dad kept the hotdogs, "Oh"

Several possessed hotdogs with fangs leapt from the draw and went after Sam and Jazz. Jazz grabbed a knife and sliced one in midair. Sam slammed the bowl of vegetables down on two trapping them and Danny blasted the other four right before they could sink their fangs in to Sam and Jazz.

"Why were there possessed wieners in your fridge?" Sam asked as Danny walked over to her.

"I think I know" Jazz said taking a note off the fridge, it had been half hidden under a magnet that read 'I believe in ghost what about you?' She handed the note to Danny.

Kids, don't open the bottom draw of the fridge, its full of ghost hotdogs.

-Jack

P.S. please feed them while we're gone.

Danny looked up at Jazz, "You think he'll be mad that we destroyed them?"

"Not all of them" Sam said still holding down the bowl.

Danny's hands glowed green, "Move the bowl, if they try anything I'll blast them."

Sam picked up the bowl, the hotdogs were asleep in the remains of the grilled vegetables. "You know there kind of cute when they're asleep"

Danny picked them up and put them back in the fridge, "Maybe but they also make a big mess." They all looked around, the kitchen was a real mess. With hotdog gunk on the walls.

Jazz and Sam stood up and walked out of the room, "We'll leave the rest to you ghost boy." Jazz called back.

"Why do I have to clean this mess up!" Danny yelled but no one answered him, he spent the next hour cleaning. As he was trying to get some hotdog 'Stuff' off the wall Jazz walked in to the room.

"Hey Danny, do you like Sam?"

"Yea, she's my best friend." Danny finally shot the 'stuff' with an ecto blast, it let a scorch mark but he doubted his parents would notice.

"I mean as more then a friend"

Danny pretended he was having trouble with another piece of 'stuff' so Jazz couldn't see him blushing.

"Danny, you know what I mean." Jazz walked over and put her hand on his shoulder. "Sams been threw a lot, knowing how you really feel about her would probably be a big help right now." Jazz walked out of the kitchen and went to her room.

/How does she know how I feel about Sam? Jazz is right, I need to tell Sam how I feel about her now, I have to tell her I love her./ Danny left the kitchen to go talk to Sam.

Earl clung to the wall outside of Sam's room, she was looking at her self in the mirror. He smiled bearing his sharp teeth, he turned intangible and slipped threw the wall in to her room. He was invisible and walked right up behind her.

Sam sighed, "Danny I wish I could tell you how I feel" Sam said to her reflection.

Earl slipped a single long intangible wolf nail threw Sam's chest.

Sam felt a shiver pass threw her. She saw a huge wolf like creature appear behind her.

Earl sent a pulse of power threw his intangible nail and threw Sam's heart.

Sam tried to scream but she felt something pass threw her heart, then she felt her heart stop, it simple stopped.

Earl smiled as she fell to the floor, no blood, no mess, no evidence he had been here. Earl heard someone on the stairs, he dove silently threw the window and landed on the street, he turned back in to human Earl, there was no rings of light, he simple changed. "I'll have to leave town for a while, but I'll be back to clam my riches. With out you my dear Sam no one can stop me, even your ghost boy. I wish I could see his face when he finds you dead!"

Danny walked up and knocked on Sam's door, "Can I talk to you?" No one answered. Danny began to feel uneasy, then when no one answered when he knocked again he ghosted threw the door. Sam was lying on the floor, "Sam!" He knelt down and cradled her in his arms, she wasn't breathing and he couldn't find a pulse, "She's dead"

(A/N: Ok there it is, I wonder how many people are going to try and kill me for this? I hope everyone liked this chapter. I'm sure there was something else I was going to say but I can't remember so have a great time!)
