The end of a phantom. Pt. 10.

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine. You make me happy when times are gray.

Those words buzzed in Danny's head all morning. He sat there, playing with his cereal. Only stering it around the bowl. He was thinking about his dream, his conversation with Sam. In the dream, it was just like they were really there. Danny could feel Sam's tears on his hands and boots. He could feel her shoulders. All warm and smooth. Even though he had gloves on, he could feel everything. Jazz walked up to Danny and put her hand on his shoulder.

"Are you okay Danny. You seemed really depressed." asked Jazz.

"I'm fine. Just, tired is all." replied Danny. Then he started to hum, 'you are my sunshine, my only sunshine. You make me happy when times are gray.'

"What are you humming? It sounds so sweet." asked Jazz.

"Oh. Nothing. Can you drive me to school today. I really don't want to walk." asked Danny.

"Sure what ever makes you happy." replied Jazz as she kissed her brother on the cheek and ruffled his hair a bit.

At Sam's house. Sam was in the shower, getting ready for school. She let the hot water replenish her skin. It felt so good. She was thinking about the dream she had the night before. What was that dream about? Why'd I confess to Danny in a dream? Hm. It all seems so distant to me. Sam thought to herself as she stepped out of the shower, drying her hair and putting on her normal clothes. Her black tank top with the purple circle on it. Her black skirt with green strips. Her purple stockings and combat boots. And her solid black wristbands. But today, she didn't put her hair up in the pony tail thing. She left it down. For that hole morning she felt as if her spirit was some where else. Actually she felt somewhere else. Like she was watching her body do the daily things she does on a Friday morning. It was raining outside. But she didn't care. She didn't even bother to bring an umbrella. She was thankful she had her backpack with her so her books didn't get wet. Sam then walked outside in the rain and to school humming the same thing that Danny was humming in Jazz's car,

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine. You make me happy when times are gray.

For the rest of the morning, Sam didn't speak. From time to time, Tucker would ask if she was okay and she shake her head yes. Sam and Danny didn't talk to each other for the whole morning. Like the usual time when they'd walk to classes next to each other, Sam just walked past him and to her next class.

"Dude what's wrong with you? It's like you and Sam never even met before! What's going on here!" yelled Tucker as he stopped Danny.

"It's a long story Tuck, you wouldn't understand." replied Danny as he continued walking forward.

"If I can hack into Axion Labs security cameras, I can understand a 'long story'" explained Tucker as he stopped Danny. He had a feeling this was going to take long.

"Alright, but we would have to cut this period. Lets go into the bathroom and I'll tell you." explained Danny as he pushed Tucker toward the boys bathroom. When there Danny began to explain what happened in his dream.

"I had a very weird dream last night, the only people that were in it were me and Sam. We were in space. She was wearing a purple dress. And she looked like she was hugging herself. She looked so sad, she was crying so much. She told me something." explained Danny as he looked at the ground.

"What did she say dude?" asked Tucker.

"She said she loves me." replied Danny. "And that's when the dream ended. It was like a screen play. But I was Danny Phantom and my cast was off. The way the dream ended was one of her tears landing on my boot."

"But you don't love her back. You like her. Not love right?" asked Tucker.

"I think I do love her. I mean I still have feelings toward Valerie. But I'm so confused." replied Danny.

"Wow dude that really stinks. But what I think is, and please don't feel offended by this, you think you still have feelings for Valerie, but those feelings are really for Sam? I know it sounds confusing, but…. Yeah." said Tucker.

"I think I get what your saying but I'm so sure I have feelings for Valerie. AND Sam. Is being 14 supposed to be this hard?" asked Danny.

"Don't ask me, ask your sister, she's been 14. Maybe you should go talk to her instead. She is better at this then I am" suggested tucker.

"Yeah you're probably right. Thanks." replied Danny.

"Well we still have forty minutes before the bell rings and we have to get out of this smelly bathroom, what do you want to do?" asked Tucker.

"We could do our homework." suggested Danny.

"Good Idea." replied Tucker.

So for the next forty minutes the two friends did their homework and from time to time they'd help each other out with some questions they didn't understand. While Sam on the other hand needed some help herself. She was sitting next to the guidance councilor. The teacher felt that Sam, was feeling very sad about something, so the teacher sent her to the councilor.

"Now Samantha, or would you prefer Sam?" asked the councilor.

"Sam please. I dislike being called Samantha." said Sam.

"Now Sam, what's wrong? What's bothering you the most?" asked the councilor.

"Well I was informed yesterday that I might be moving to California because of all the ghost weirdness that goes on in Amity park. I mean the word Amity is in Amityville. Like in the Amityville horror incident." replied Sam.

"If I were your parents I would want to move to California too. But why don't you want to move?" asked the councilor.

"Because I'll miss all my friends. I've known them since pre-school. I never want to be far from them. It's really hard to explain." replied Sam.

"I can relate. When I was little, I was told I'd move. And like every child, I didn't want to. I would miss my dear friends so much. But we have to move on with our lives. But anyway, I noticed that your hair isn't up in your normal way, any reason?"

"No not really. I just didn't want to wear it up is all." replied Sam looking down at the ground.

"I notice some depression in your voice tone. Why?" asked the councilor.

"Just about the dream I had. It really shook me up. Kind of shocking really." Sam replied.

"What was it about that made you so 'shook up'?"

"It was me and the boy I like, in space, floating in nothing but dark black space. Kind of like my room. But, I told him that I liked him and starting crying. Then the dream ended. Well it ended with one of my tears landing on his shoe but you get the point." explained Sam.

"I think you need to tell the boy your absolute feelings towards him before you move. Or if you move. I was like you when I was your age. Dark, rebellious, an independent individual, a girl with ambition. Someone who wants to rectify. Amazing how time doesn't change through generations. But look at me now, a modern working woman. But why would you care of my past. You should care about your future and the adventures that lie ahead of you. We are done here miss Manson, you can head of to your next period class." said the councilor as she let Sam walk towards the door and open it. "Oh and miss Manson, I'm sure Mr. Fenton will feel the same way."

Sam smiled, shook her head meaning 'thank you', and left. She then felt like her spirit was back in her body and not watching over her like one of her dead relatives. She felt happy. And ready to talk to Danny about the dream they both shared.

Towards the end of the day, Danny got a ride home from Jazz.

"Hey Jazz, can I talk to you about something?" asked Danny.

"Sure. What is it? Wait! Don't tell me, girl troubles right? Or better yet, Sam troubles." asked Jazz putting a finger on her chin while smiling.

"How'd ya' know?" asked Danny.

"I can see it in your face. It's a older sibling thing. We can tell when your depressed or just really ticked or the complete opposite, happy or joyful. So go on."

"Last night I had a dream were it was me and Sam. Floating in space. I was Danny Phantom and she was wearing a purple dress. She was crying a lot, and holding her shoulders. It really bummed me out to see her like that. So I flew over to ask her what's wrong. We had a conversation. And at the end, she yelled out, that she loves me. The dream ended with one of her tears landing on my boot." explained Danny.

"So what do you want me to do?" asked Jazz.

"I need you to help me figure out if I have feelings for Sam or Valerie. F.Y.I., Valerie's the ghost hunter in the red suit hunting me as Phantom. It's so hard to figure out if I have feelings for Valerie, or if those feelings are for Sam. Is being 14 supposed to be this hard?"

"No. nothing in life is supposed to be easy. Things like this take time to figure themselves out. I'm sure you'll figure it out but F.Y.I., everyone knows or thinks you and Sam have feelings for each other, but are just to shy to admit it. To tell you the truth, it's pretty obvious."

"Thanks. But that doesn't help at all. I think I do love Sam. Hm. I guess I will figure it out in time." replied Danny.

"Just give it some thought and I'm sure the answer will come. One way or another. Or when you least except it. Now get inside so you can do your homework. Or I tell your teacher about your little cut with you and Tucker. Don't ask how I know. News about freshmen spread to the juniors like a blink of an eye." said Jazz as she pulled up to Fenton works.

A week has gone by and Danny's powers are coming back a couple days after another. First he was able to overshadow someone. Then he was able to go intangible. Then after that his powers just stopped coming back.

A month has passed and Danny's cast is ready to come off. But now, not only has his cast come off, but his powers are fully back.

"So Danny. Have your powers come back yet?" asked Jack sitting in the passenger side of the Fenton RV.

"I'll show you guys at the house." replied Danny giving his father a smile that meant yes.

At the house, the Fenton family went into the Lab were no-one could see them. Danny was so excited to finally get back up in the air. So, he just ran and jumped and the two white rings formed around his waist and started to move up and down. Danny's white and red t-shirt turned into a black jump suit top with the DP logo on it. And his sky blue jeans turned into his white belt and black part of his jumpsuit and his shoes became the white boots. His hands now covered with white gloves. His raven black hair now a snow white. And his sky blue eyes, a bright green. Yes, Danny Phantom is Back and better then ever.

"It feels so good to be back!" yelled Danny out of excitement.

"That's great sweetie! But what about Vlad?" asked Maddie.

"Oh don't worry, he'll get his share. I'll be back in a few hours, I'm going into the ghost zone to pay a visit to a friend." said Danny and with that, he flew off into the ghost zone. Ending up at Vlad's end of the portal. When he saw Vlad, (Danny was invisible), he was eating dinner. So Danny just flew up from underneath the table and raised up very slowly showing his whole body.

"How's it going V-man?"

A/N: Boogata! I love the last line of that chapter. It's so cool! I was going to add, 'ready for some punch with that dinner?' but I decided to wait for the next chapter to put that line in. I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter as much as I had fun writing it! Chapter 11 is when Danny and Vlad have the really big fight with all the weapons, Valerie is out of the hospital, and Danny sees the light for a friend! Wow, it's 11:44 pm (EST). I'm really tired. 5 hours of writing a 5 page chapter goes by fast when your brain is just pouring out ideas. Night peoples. Oh! The last episode of season 2 for Danny Phantom is called "DOUBLE CROSS MY HEART." I haven't read the descriptions yet but I hope Sam finally tells Danny she loves him!
