Disclaimer:I don't own any of this
Tucker was playing Doomed with Sam and Danny when the phone rang. "Hello, this is the Foley residence, Tucker Foley speaking. But if you're a girl, this is…"
"Oh shut up, Tucker. I got good news for you. I managed to get a break from work tonight, so I'll go to the dance with you." Valerie's voice answered. Tucker practically screamed his joy.
Danny looked up from inside the game, trying to find out what was up. "Tucker, where'd you go?" Tucker quickly answered that he had to get ready for the dance and signed off. Noticing the time, the others decided to as well.
When they got there, Danny and Sam looked for Tucker and Val. Tucker saw them first and waved. Val looked like she wanted to crawl into a corner and hide, but Danny tried to ignore it. The two walked over to say hi.
"Val, hey. You ran off earlier, I was worried." She looked away, like she didn't want to talk about it. But she bit her lip and turned back to him.
"Danny, you and I need to talk. I want to apologize." Everyone looked really confused, especially Danny. Apologize? Now, she's just confusing me even more. Must be a girl thing.
"Apologize for what? You haven't done anything to me." He smiled a nervous grin. Obviously lying.
"Come on, you know what I'm talking about!" Danny Cocked his head to one side.
"Uh, no idea, Val. I don't recall you doing anything to me." Did she figure it out?
"Quit joking around. Even if this is April Fools Day, I want the truth." Val was starting to get a little mad. If he denies it one more time...
"The truth about what? I don't what you're talking about. What are you apologizing for?"
"For everything. Danny, I've been such a jerk. Can I talk to you over there for a moment?" She pointed to a corner of the room. Danny nodded and they walked over. Tucker couldn't help but notice Sam crushing her cup of punch in her hand. He put his hand on her shoulder.
"Calm down. Yeah, she's talking to him alone. It's not like you two are together or anything." Sam glared at him and marched off to the punch bowl. Tucker just sat there, dumbstruck.
Valerie took a slow, deep breath before talking to Danny. "I've been such a jerk. I had no idea I was hurting you, and you tried to tell me to stop, but I wouldn't listen. You tried to tell me you were good, and I wouldn't listen to that either. I'm not a good friend if I can't figure out my own friend. I'm sorry, can you ever forgive me?" Danny looked at Val, quite stunned.
"You know?" That would explain her odd behavior this afternoon. She nodded.
"Yeah. I figured it out during lunch" She pointed to her ghost detector, buzzing softly, though it couldn't be heard over the music. "I feel so horrible, Danny. I did some pretty thoughtless things. How did you ever manage to trust me? You were my friend, even though I wanted you gone from existence. How will you ever forgive me?"
"I forgave you the moment we became friends, Val. I knew you'd come around, like my parents. After all, I'm not supposed to judge others by what happened due to a few complete accidents, being the "hero" and all. That ghost dog I was chasing around ruined your Dad's lab, not me. I wish I could've figured out how to stop it sooner. And I was framed when they said I kidnapped the mayor. Funny how things play out in the grand scheme of things, huh?" She nodded at him, and they went back over to Tucker. Sam walked back over from the punch bowl, still quite mad.
"Well, Val told me she knew who I was, and wanted to apologize."
"Dude, that's awesome!" Tucker said, putting his arm around Valerie. She smiled at him.
"One less person out to get you?" Sam asked, glad to hear that Val didn't want to confess her love to him and make him go out with her or anything.
"And one more ally." Danny added.
