The end of a phantom. Pt. 8
As Sam walked towards her house, she began to sing a little song that kinda explained what's going on right now with the fact that Danny might never like her but like Valerie instead.
"I sense there's something in the wind. That feels like tragedy's at hand. And though I'd like to stand by him. Can't shake this feeling that I have. --The worst is just around the bend. And does he notice my feelings for him? And will he see how much he means to me? I think it's not to be. --What will become of my dear friend? Where will his actions lead us then? Although I'd like to join the crowd. In their enthusiastic cloud. --Try as I may, it doesn't last. And will we ever end up together? No, I think not, it's never to become. For I am not the one." As she finished singing the song she tightened her grip on her books. She reached her house and went in the door and walked directly to her room. When there, she began to softly cry as she picked up a picture of Danny and her.
"Why are you so clueless? Are you really that thick headed? I love you Danny, but you don't love me back. The only person you'll ever like besides your mom is Valerie or Paulina. But there's nothing I can do to get you to like me." She ripped the picture in half separating her and Danny. Then she looked at her ceiling and began to cry.
At Danny's house he was thinking about the question Tucker asked him, 'don't you like Sam? And I mean more then a friend?' To Danny those couple of words stood 50 feet tall. Danny was on his bed, foot on a pillow giving it support. Stairing at the ceiling talking to himself. He was glad he was the only one in the house. Jazz was at the mall with some of her friends and his parents were at some ghost convention. Danny really didn't want to go to some stupid convention about ghost when a ghost broke his ankle. But getting back to the question subject.
"Do I like Sam? I mean we've been friends since pre-school. And I really don't know. Hm, I'm going to call Tucker, hopefully he can help me out with this, since he did ask me that question." Danny picked up his cell phone and called Tucker.
"Hey Tuck it's Danny can I talk to you?" Danny asked as Tucker picked up his second and back up cell phone he had in his room.
"Yeah sure, what do you want to talk about?" replied Tucker.
"That question you asked me when we were coming out of the hospital yesterday." said Danny as he pulled out a picture of him and Sam. The same one Sam ripped in half. (Danny had the extra copy.)
"Uh, sure," replied Tucker in a uncomfortable way. "well do you like Sam?" asked Tucker as he got a little more comfortable and serious.
"I don't know but I think I might. But if I look at the ways a guy would like Sam." Danny started.
"That's a good way to look at things. Then you could see if you do like her or not." cheerfully said Tuck.
"Well, she's smart," started Danny as he blushed like nuts. " She's a really good artist, I mean look at the logo on my costume she did, she thinks outside the box all the time, she's caring, trusting,…" and Danny continued telling tucker the reasons throughout his talk with Tucker.
At school the next day, Danny and Tucker were walking to school, Tucker called Sam earlier and asked if she wanted to join them. She said no. So, it was just him and Danny.Tucker had to carry all Danny's books around the for a whole month. He didn't like it at all. For a whole month, he had to be late for every class Danny wasn't in. but if he was going to get detention from it then he'd tell the teacher, 'I was carrying my friends books to his class. He broke his ankle.' And hopefully the teacher would understand.
"So, Danny, about our conversation last night, did you find anything out about your feelings for a certain Goth vegetarian in our school?" asked Tucker.
"A little. But I won't tell anyone. Well you know cause I told you. But, no one else." replied Danny.
"Well that's good." replied Tucker as he collapsed to the ground with twenty pounds of books in his hands. "I need to get my arms in shape."
"HA! You make me laugh! Did Sam say anything to you this morning, like why she wasn't going to walk to school with us?" asked Danny.
"No she just told me she wanted to walk alone. No reason." replied Tucker. He lied. Sam told him a lot of shit that's going on with her life and the whole Danny situation. She just wanted to walk alone to think about stuff.
Danny and Tucker reached the school about ten minutes before homeroom started. And Sam was ten minutes behind them, still walking to school. Thinking about stuff. Like what she wrote on her notebook cover, Danny's ankle and her parents. Her parents where considering moving because of all the ghost weirdness going on in Amity Park. Sam overheard them talking about it and ran out the door with her school books. If I am moving, I have to tell Danny I love him. thought Sam to herself. But how? How will I tell him? And how will he react? No. I probably won't move. I'm getting a head of my self. I have to stop thinking about that. Sam then looked at the school and entered it with a very depressing look on her face. When she reached her locker, she put her science notebook on the bottom of her locker, underneath all her books. Then Tucker and Danny where standing behind her and startled her a little when she turned around.
"Oh my gosh you guys scared the hell out of me!" yelled Sam.
"Sorry." said Danny. He saw the depressed look on Sam. "what's wrong?" he immediately asked. Sam looked at him with eyes wide open.
"Nothing I'm fine." replied Sam turning away from Danny walking towards her homeroom.
"Sam something's up. I can see it in your face." replied as he grabbed Sam's arm resting his air pit on the crutch.
"Stop. Since when were you my guardian angel?" hissed Sam as she snapped her arm back from Danny.
"Since I became your best friend! Now, what's wrong?" asked Danny as he grabbed Sam's arm again but this time harder making Sam tear a little.
"Danny stop! Your hurting my arm! Your eyes are glowing! Please stop, your scaring me!" yelled Sam as she pulled her arm away and ran to the girls bathroom crying.
"Nice. Want to go make your sister cry." said Tucker.
"Tuck…..what did I just do?" asked Danny as he looked at Sam running towards the bathroom.
"You just let your emotions takeover you and hurt the girl you like. It was like they overshadowed you. Like you overshadow someone in your ghost form. Next time control your emotions and don't take the rage out on someone. Your eyes were glowing bright green, so you were pretty mad." replied Tucker giving Danny his books in a little carrying bag they made in seventh grade.
"My eyes were glowing?" replied Danny as he watched Tucker run after Sam.
In the girls bathroom, Sam was looking at the place were Danny grabbed her. It was really red and it hurt like hell. She heard Tucker outside the door asking her if she was alright.
"Sam, you okay?" asked Tucker.
"Tucker, his eyes glowing. That means he was angry at me. My arm is really red and it hurts like hell." replied Sam.
"Sam he's not angry at you. His emotions just took over him for a while. I think he's still standing at your locker in confusion." replied Tucker talking to her through the door.
"I knew it!" Sam started as she grabbed her red arm. "He doesn't like me! He doesn't like me at all! He hates me!" yelled Sam.
"Sam come out here. You need a hug for support." said Tucker in a comforting way. Sam came out of the bathroom still holding her red arm, crying a little. Then Tucker hugged his best friend for support. A very fuzzy and awkward moment between them.
"Thanks Tucker. I needed that." said Sam as she pulled away from him drying the tears from her eyes.
"He doesn't hate you. He's just angry." replied Tucker.
"Yeah at me!" said Sam.
"Stop that Sam. Don't go all emo on me and start cutting yourself to feel better or worse, commit suicide!" yelled Tucker.
"To late. I'm already dead." joked Sam.
"Ha. Now c'mon, homeroom starts soon." said Tucker as he laughed back at Sam's joke.
"Alright. I'll see you next period." said Sam as she picked up her books and walked towards her homeroom.
Tucker thought to himself for a second and then ran back to Danny totally forgetting the situation Sam and Dan just had. Tucker saw Danny sitting of the floor, foot being supported by his books, looking at the ground eyes half open. Tucker looked at him and helped him back up. Grabbing his books for him.
"I can't believe I just did that. I mean my eyes were glowing. And wasn't even angry." said Danny as he looked up at Tucker taking his books back. But he realized that his eyes were glowing. "Hey, my eyes were glowing!" said Danny cheering himself up.
"Yeah dude they were, are you proud of yourself or something." said Tucker.
"No. My eyes were glowing!" replied Danny as he grabbed Tuckers arms. "Don't you get it? My eyes were glowing!"
"Alright dude I get it your eyes were glowing. What does it mean?" asked Tucker.
"It means, my powers are coming back! Yes! Now I can finally fight Plasmius and stop him for good!" Danny said as he smiled overjoyed.
"That's great dude but what about Sam?" asked Tucker breaking away from Danny's grip.
Then Danny's smile quickly faded as he looked down at the ground. He said he'll figure out away to fix it. But right now, he was so happy his powers are coming back. At the moment, he was happy about a lot of things, his sister is okay, his powers are coming back, and that one of his toughest opponents, Valerie, was going to help him. Danny got his books and started to head towards homeroom with Tucker at his side. (they're both in the same homeroom.)
"Tucker, can you send a note to Sam telling her that my powers are coming back?" asked Danny.
"Sure." replied Tucker.
About twenty minutes later the bell rang that ended homeroom and started Tucker and Sam's social studies class. The subject was about the renaissance and Sam knew everything there was to know about that time period and so did Tucker, so that's when Tucker wrote the note to Sam telling her about Danny's powers coming back.
Sam, Danny's powers are coming back. Sam read on the note.
That's great but I don't care. replied Sam.
Why? This means Danny will finally be able to fight plasmius and beat him once and for all. wrote Tucker.
Because if Danny wants to get his ass handed over to him by an enemy whose had powers for a longer time then Danny has probably been alive. I don't care, it's his life not mine. It's his enemy not mine. His powers, not mine. So I really don't care. replied Sam.
0.0 oh. Tucker replied. but we're his best friends we should care. And you like him! Doesn't that mean anything anymore.
yeah it does but, well I over heard my parents talking about moving somewhere else because of all the ghost wierdness that's going on and I don't think i should tell Danny my feelings for him. But i'm not.
You're making a big mistake Sam.
what? What does that mean?
You'll figure out in time.
Stop talking in riddles and tell me!
No. Not till you figure it out on your own. keep this note as a reference. I don't need it. Sam put the note in her pocket and gave Tucker an evil look.
A/N: hey! Okay that was part eight of the story hope you liked. The next chapter will continue on what the note was saying and Sam will figure out what Tucker was talking about. (in time) it will also be about how a month has passed and Danny's powers are finally back and his ankle his is better. Please don't stop reading, don't you want to see what happens to Danny! And everyone else? 0.0 sorry… thanx again. -
