A Little Taste of Heaven

Chapter 3: Life

"I can't say goodbye to Sam!" exclaimed Danny. "There's something I haven't told her! And for another thing, I'm not dead, really, I'm NOT dead!"

Herbert sighed, "We've been through this already, Danny. You are dead, you're just in denial. As for saying goodbye to Sam, now's your chance! All you have to do is think the things you wanted to tell her and come to terms with letting her go!"

"So… can I go back and say them to her?"

"No, Danny, you're already gone. You have to let yourself know that, and it helps if you feel like it, let her go… it's too late to go back… and you were there even longer than normal after death, as a ghost…"

But Danny suddenly filled with determination and dove through the clouds.

"WAIT! Danny! Where are you going?" shouted Herbert.

The angels chased after Danny, and before Danny reached the bottom layer of cloud, they caught him and held him back.

"I'm half a ghost and half a human!" stated Danny.

"Don't be silly, ghost-human hybrids don't exist!" said Evan.

"I wish that I could return!" cried Danny in desperation.

And he tried again to transform. This time it worked. He felt the flash of light pass through him, and the jumpsuit change into his normal clothes. He saw his bangs change from white to black in an instant. He was Danny Fenton again. He smirked in triumph!

"I'm not dead!" he announced happily, more to himself than to anyone else. All of his confusion about his apparent death was evaporating.

The angels stared at him, silent and with wide eyes.

"Oops…" mumbled James.

Danny began to swoop downwards and broke the bottom layer of cloud. His wings started to fade and then he was falling.

The angels quickly recovered from their momentary bewilderment to prevent the boy from smashing into the ground below, and they helped him gently land. Danny had shut his eyes when the world underneath him was spinning treacherously closer, but now he opened them and looked around.

He was sitting on the sidewalk, not far from the movie theatre and the place where he'd saved Paulina.

"Danny!" the yell caught his attention. "Oh Danny! We were so worried about you! Where did you go?"

It was Sam.

"Yah, man. Paulina and Star have been long gone and no sign of Danny Phantom or anything!" declared Tucker.

Without replying, Danny stood up from his sitting position and pulled the two into a hug.

"I'm alive!"

"What?"

"Of course you're alive, Danny," affirmed Sam, puzzled by his statement.

"It's a long story," Danny responded at last. "But I did learn a couple of things! For one, Heaven is going to be awesome!"

Tucker and Sam were surprised and concerned by this statement.

"Are you sure you're feeling alright?" questioned Tucker.

"Never better!" answered Danny cheerily. "But there's one thing I've gotta do before we do anything else."

"And that would be…?" began Sam, but then Danny cut her off.

Tucker stepped back in shock as Danny took Sam into his arms and kissed her deeply.

When they broke apart, Sam asked, breathless and blushing, "W-what was that for?"

"I really care about you, Sam, and I'm not ready to let you go," replied Danny seriously, and he kissed her again.

Far above the whole situation, two beings were watching.

"Well, that worked out better than expected," said Clockwork. "Of course, we knew it would."

"Yes," agreed God. "Now I just have to take care of the confused Welcome-Angels and everything will be running smoothly again!"

The two chuckled.

"You've been doing a good job of watching over the Ghost Zone, I must say," added God.

"Barely," laughed Clockwork. "But I do try!"

"Yes, and watching over the ghost child, too."

"I'm glad we gave him a chance to gain perception on life."

"Me too, Clockwork. Me too."
