Chapter six is now officially up. I realized recently that this has been centered around how danni is dealing with the change so this chapter will be centered on sam. Probablly after this i'll do an outside view. like from valerie or tucker or someone like that.

once again I have been unable to find a question to answer but that's ok i found a review that can be switched into a Question so that will do. It's from Flashx11-Wouldn't the powder change them back if it got them again? Afraid not. I've got that planned out so it ain't happening. besides if you want the scientiffic stuf about it it's like a sickness. You have a cold for the very first time and it kicks your butt, but the next time you have it you get over it in like a day. Well the powder worked on them because nothing like it had happened before. If ozell or anyone used it again it would have little to no effect.

Quick new disclaimer: I also do not own any of the masterful works of Piers Anthony.

P.S. I'm not anouncing the winner until the second to the last chapter, so don't worry if i don't answer right away.

on with the story.

Chapter Six: May I Have This Dance?

Samuel Manson sat in english class, taking notes without really paying attention. He had other things to worry about. The most prominent problem was the peace that had fallen on Amity Park. Most would think that meant fair weather and sunny days ahead. But Sam knew better. The ghosts were just preparing for something. Probably another huge invasion like what happened with Pariah Dark.

He sighed. Maybe he was just being paranoid. Maybe things would be peaceful. Or maybe he was trying to make it seem like that was the most prominent worry on his mind so asking DannI to the upcoming school spirit dance didn't seem like such a big deal. Yep that was it. He just wasn't going to admit that to himself.

He looked over at the young woman Danni had become. She was just beautiful. Her ebony hair, bright blue eyes, beautiful skin( it still held the scars Danni had recieved over the years, but in Sam's opinion that only made her more attractive), not to mention her smile that could make his stomach flip like a dolphin in a show at water world.

Sam was too busy going over his feelings for Danni to worry about sexuality. The fact was he didn't really care. Gay, lesbian, or what ever he may now be it didn't matter as long as he could have Danni. But there inlies the problem. He didn't know if he could have Danni.

He knew for sure he was going to ask Danni to go to the dance. And that they wouldn't be going as just friends if Danni said yes. But what really worried him is if she said no. It might break the friendship they had. The one thing he cherished over everything else was the friendship the two of them held.

He just had to hope Danni said yes.

"Mr. Manson!", he was suddenly brought to attention by Mr. Lancer slamming a book on his desk," I'm never gonna get used to calling you that. Now Mr. Manson please pay attention. I was asking you if you could tell us what the author meant to present to you through the novel. What is the lesson to be learned from this story?"

Sam looked at Lancer for a moment then at his notes. He blushed a little realizing his notes were actually Danni's name written over and over. He then looked at the book Lancer held and sighed a little in relief. Luckily he had read it before. It was 'Heaven Cent' by Piers Anthony.

"Well in my opinion I think he was trying to get people to realise that you can never judge something by looks unless you've experienced it yourself", he said in a bored voice.

"And what brought you to your conclusion? I thought this was a quest to make a magical penny", he said and the class laughed.

"Well the main character, Dolph, at the beginning is of the opinion that romance, girls, and adults are things he could just live without. Without girls boys wouldn't be lured into doing 'mushy stuff' I blieve were his words. Romance was also related to the problem of girls. And then there were adults which he scorned for keeping the secret of the quote-unquote' Adult-Conspiracy'. The farther he progessed however he learned that some things are not as they seem, point proven when he met Nada Naga, princess of the naga people. She was his age,or atleast thought to be, and believed much of the same things he did. That romance was stupid, adults were even more stupid, and the veil on the conspiracy should be lifted. By the time the book was finished not only did Dolph find himself in love, or lust it's debatable, with Nada but understanding more about the ways of the adults than he ever thought possible."

Mr. Lancer raised one of his eyebrows then shrugged," Ok, I will give you this one Mr. Manson." He turned his attention back to the rest of the class, and once again continued his lesson. And just as before soon enough Sam's thought's were centered on his friend, and secret crush.

Sam sat there glaring at his phone. It just sat there not moving, no matter how much Sam wished it would. He was trying to decide how to word his asking Danni to the dance that friday. It seemed near impossible so he instead decided to look through his notes for the science test tomorrow. He unfortunately grabbed the wrong book and found himself staring at where he had written Danni's name over and over again. He sighed and began to think about Danni once again, this time Ozell's words from a week ago invading his mind.

(Flash back)

After beating the daylights out of the mischievous ghost Sam began asking questions. The first was ofcourse if there was a cure. Then he asked if the powder woud work on them again only to recieve another negative. Then came the questions that were really important.

"Did someone hire you?", he asked Ozell glaring at the ghost.

"Yeah, and my price just went up", he replied rubbing his sore jaw," How'd you guess anyways?"

"You don't seem like the type with enough wits to think of something like this on your own", Sam said icily.

"Ow, you're cruel you know that?"

"Who hired you?", Sam ignored the comment about being cruel.

"That's for me to know and you to find out. I am so there when you do", he managed to laugh a little," It's gonna be hillarious."

Sam growled and breathed deeply through his nose and sighed in a bit more content than he meant to. He could still smell Danni's lingering scent in the room as if she were standing next to him. It was heavenly. It made him hunger for her in a way he didn't quite think was wholesome.

Ozell smirked standing up, an almost sinister look on his face," You can smell 'em can't you?"

"Smell what?", Sam snapped at him. His smirk just widened.

"Her pherimones. Looks like I owe Candace money. She bet me that you would", he said his ever present smirk getting wider and wider.

"What the hell are you talking about? What pherimones?", and so once again Ozell went through the explanation, but this time added something that should make things interesting and that he hadn't told Danni.

"... Soon enough her instincts will kick in and she'll mark a guy, bite him somewhere probably the neck, and then when summer comes...", he finished by making crude gestures with his hands," If I were you I'd act now before her instincts make her choose someone else."

(end flashback)

Sam sighed hoping it never came to that and that he was acting quick enough. He sighed and looked at the phone once again and decided just to get it over with. He grabbed the phone dialed Danni's house and waited for someone to pick up.

"Hello, Fenton residence", it was Jazz.

"Hey, Jazz it's Sam. Can you put Danni on the line?"

"No problem, just a sec", Sam heard Jazz shout up the stairs for Danni, Danni shouting back, and then shuffling as the phone exchanged hands.

"Hey, Sam. What's up?", Danni's voice came through the reciever and made Sam smile.

"Well, I was just wondering...", Sam trailed off for a moment before continuing deciding he would just wing it," If you thought about the dance this friday."

"Ugh! I should pound who ever came up with the idea to have it. Do you realize how creepy it is to have a bunch of guys asking me to go to the dance with them?"

"About as creepy as it is to have girls asking me out?", he heard Danni laugh.

"Point proven. But yeah I guess I thought about it a little. What about you? Know who you want to take?"

"Well yeah I have someone in mind", he tried to keep the nervousness out of his voice.

"Oh really? Who?", was it just his immagination or did Danni sound a little... Depressed to hear it?

"Well...", Sam took a deep breath. This was it, he couldn't back out now," Well I was actually wondering if you would go with me."

"You mean as friends?", she sounded even more depressed but was obviously trying to hide it.

"Um... Not really. I mean... Well... I mean like a date", Sam said nervosly into the phone. There was a silent pause before came the happy reply.

"I'd love too!", Sam let out a breath he hadn't realized he'd been holding.

"OK, Well I still have home work to do so I'd better go", he said smiling wider than he though any Goth ever could.

"OK, and Sam..."

"Yeah, Danni?"

"Love you", she said quietly.

Sam's eyes widened in shock and before he could actually grasp the reality of what Danni just said he responded in a small voice," Love you too." Then there was the click as Danni put the phone on it's base.

Sam just stared at his phone for a little while before a smile broke out on his face. He laid back on his bed staring at the ceiling the smile never fading and once again he uttered those three words," Love you too."

Outside the window Ozell smirked. He had escaped from the Ghost Zone again but only to make sure things went over smoothly. The hardest part was making the other ghosts stay in the Ghost Zone until his employer told him to let them out. He had to bribe every single one of the greedy bastards with something from his pockets. It wouldn't have been so bad if they hadn't asked for some really absurd things.

Technus was the worst. He asked for a world to conquer if he couldn't go to the human plane of existance. But Ozell, being the ever witty ghost he was, was able to give him his wish.

From one of his pockets he pulled out a small orb that floated in his hands that had three little balls floating around it as if in orbit. It was what he had dubbed Planet Mini. Technus was surprisingly pleased with this and was off.

But back to the current things were going pretty well. He flew off to meet his employer in the park.

"Is everything going according to plan?", the voice was obviously fake. The person was using one of those weird voice changers.

"Yeah, Manson just asked Fenton to the dance. Why are you so interested in them anyways?", he asked holding out his hand awaiting his payment. A hand in a black glove gave him a single hundred dollar bill. It wasn' building up as quickly as he would have liked but soon enough Ozell would have enough money for that ring.

"Never you mind about that. Just keep up the good work and I'll keep paying you", with that the figure shrouded in a high collar trench coat and a hat to hide his face walked away.

Ozell shrugged. He didn't know why the guy disguised himself around him. Maybe he was afraid of someone finding out who had orchestrated this whole thing.

Once again Ozell shrugged and counted the current amount of money he posessed. So far seven hundred dollars. Just a few hundred more and he'd have enough. He flew off once again to meet Candace in the Ghost zone smiling to himself.

"This is the most interesting job I've had in a long while, that's for sure."

A/N: And that is chapter six. What did y'all think? Good, Bad, Ugy? I know not too much humor this chapter, but like i said i'm not good at humor i just write as how i see things would turn out. And if you think I had Danni and Sam admit too soon don't worry. They've denied liking eachother for years, saying it over the phone wont change it all that much.

well bye for now.
