Chapter Four.
Danny and Sam decided to walk home instead of Danny's parents driving them. Danny and Sam discussed what had happened and Danny told Sam all about his power. How he had found out he could heal himself the other week and how he was so happy that it worked on his father. He also said how much energy it took out of him and it was a miracle that he was able to keep his form until he had passed that building.
"I'm so proud of you Danny, if the news gets out, people could see you as a good ghost after all." Sam cried.
"Yes, I am kinda hoping that will happen. My mom and dad will probably want to tell the towns people what happened. I just hope they don't say mean things about me." Danny told her.
They continued to walk. They soon got to the park and decided to sit on a bench. They were surrounded by beautiful flowers that reminded Danny of Sam. He didn't know what was so special about her; he just loved her so much and wouldn't let anything happen to her. He wanted to be able to tell her that he loved her but it was hard. I mean, what if she didn't like him in that way, it might ruin their friendship.
"Sam can I ask you something?" Danny asked.
"Sure, go ahead." Sam sighed.
Sam was hoping that he wasn't going to ask her something personal, like if she liked him more than a friend. What would she say? She knew that deep in her heart, she liked him but she wasn't sure if it was love or just a little crush. She knew he had feelings for her, but she wasn't so sure about her feelings for him. Sometimes she felt like she loved him more than anyone else and other times she thought of him as a stubborn friend. She didn't know what to feel for him, was this love?
"Sam, I was wondering… you know how we used to fake out make out before?" Danny asked.
"yeah." Sam muttered. Please don't ask me if I feel anything when that happens or if I enjoy it, I will have to tell you the truth…
"Well, did you feel anything when we were doing that?" Danny asked.
"Um, did you?" Sam asked.
"I just want to know the truth Sam." Danny told her.
"I guess I felt a spark." Sam admitted.
"Really? I felt a spark too." Danny said dreamily.
Sam and Danny gazed into each others eyes and leant in to kiss. Their lips slowly touched until Sam pulled away. Danny looked up at her, oddly confused.
"I'm sorry Danny; I don't want to ruin our friendship. If things don't work out between us then we might no longer be friends. I have to go home now, bye!" Sam told him and ran off.
Danny had tears in his eyes but tried to keep them inside. He sniffed and got up and started walking towards his house. He always thought that Sam would be there for him and that she would always love him. Danny was thinking about what he had done wrong on his walk home.
He opened the front door and walked into the lounge room where he saw his parents talking to a lady that looked familiar. It looked like… Harriet Chin! His parents were deep in conversation so he walked past them and into his room. He sunk into his bed and wet his pillow with salty tears. He sat up and looked at a photo of him, Sam and Tucker standing outside his house, the first day of high school.
"Where did I go wrong?" Danny asked himself.
His ghost sense went off but he just ignored it. He couldn't be bothered fighting ghosts at the moment.
"BEWARE!" came a voice behind him.
"What do you want?" Danny asked, not looking up from the picture he was holding.
The box ghost said nothing and flew out Danny's bedroom door. I better follow him. Danny got up and transformed into Danny Phantom. Well, at least it doesn't look like I have been crying. Danny watched the box ghost go into the lounge room with a look of excitement on his face.
"GHOST!" he heard his father yell.
Maddie and Jack jumped up from the couch and aimed at the box ghost. Danny floated into the lounge room looking more bored than ever.
"How come you keep getting out to annoy me?" Danny asked.
"You can't package me up, for I am the Box ghost, master of all things square!" yelled the Box Ghost.
"Yes, you are as square as them. I would totally die if I became obsessed with boxes. Now, please, leave me alone." Danny said.
He sucked the box ghost into the Fenton Thermos and floated towards the Fenton Portal. Maddie, Jack and Harriet followed him and watched him stick the Thermos in a hole and saw the Box ghost disappear into the Ghost Zone. Danny turned around and knocked into his parents. Two blue rings appeared. They slowly started to travel down his body but Danny stopped them and he stayed in his ghost form.
"sorry." Mumbled Danny.
"What was that?" asked Jack.
"Oh, nothing, just shock." Danny told them.
"Can I interview you along with Maddie and Jack?" asked Harriet.
"Uh, if you want." Said Danny.
"Awesome, come up into the living room, I'll get the cameras set up." Harriet squealed.
Danny floated into the living room and floated in the air instead of taking a seat. Maddie and Jack sat on the couch and were looking at Phantom.
"What's wrong? You look kind of upset." Maddie asked.
"Oh, its nothing, I'm just tired of fighting ghosts and people letting me down." Danny said.
"Like who?" Maddie asked.
"I prefer not to say, it might make her look bad. She didn't let me down too much; she just told me she didn't want to ruin our friendship…" Danny mumbled.
"Ok, ready?" Harriet asked.
They all nodded and Harriet told her camera man to turn the camera on in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1…
