The end of a phantom. Pt 11.
"How's it been Vlad? Miss me?" asked Danny.
"Daniel? What are you doing here! What do you want!"
"Revenge." replied Danny as he sucker punched Vlad sending him flying in the air.
"Very good Daniel. You are like me. Well getting more like me by each fight we have." said Vlad turning into Plasmius.
"Don't you ever say that! I'm nothing like you! Not in the least!" yelled Danny.
"Oh please Danny. Every time I say that you seem so offended. But what you don't understand that you are more like me then you know it. Taking the first punch. Something that I would do that you do also. Using you opponents weaknesses against him. Also something I would do. I know your weakness Danny. Your friends, your family and most importantly, what people think about you. Whether they think your half ghost side is evil, or thinking your just a plain freak! And using your powers to get back at people you don't like. Using your powers against me, against bully's, and using them for some other reason. But I really don't care. Then again, I never really did care." yelled Plasmius shooting an ectoplasmic energy blast at Danny.
Dodges beams, "Shut up! I don't care what people think about me. What they think of me is their opinion." yelled Danny as he shot a ecto-beam at Plasmius.
"Stop trying to convince yourself of things that are true! It's true that you're like me. It's true that your afraid of your appearance! And it's true that your holding back your powers against me! So go ahead Daniel, use your powers to their max!"
"You asked for it!" yelled Danny as he gave Plasmius a devil smile. Danny inhaled a big breath then let out his ghostly wail.
"What the heck! What power is this!" yelled Plasmius as he was impressed with this mighty power coming from a mere 14 year old child.
When Danny was done, he was able to keep up his ghost form. "It's my ghostly wail. A new power I learned about 5 months ago. I hope you like it. Because next time, it'll be like your last memory." threatened Danny as he flew into Vlad's ghost portal back to his house. He'd hate to admit it, but he was becoming more like Vlad no matter how much he denied it. When Danny got back to the Fenton works lab, he turned back into Danny Fenton because he was so weak from using his ghostly wail. He hated it. Maddie saw Danny come back in and helped him up the stairs. They were about to eat dinner.
"Oh Danny Tucker called when you were away. When we're done with dinner, you can call him back okay?" said Maddie.
"Sure whatever." replied Danny sitting at his normal seat at the table.
About 20 minutes later Danny put his dish in the dishwasher and picked up the house phone and called Tuck. "Hey Mrs. Foley is Tucker home?"
"Yes hold on one moment dear." said Mrs. Foley while she called for Tucker.
"Hello?" asked Tucker
"Hey Tucker. You called?" asked Danny.
"Well I heard that the only Danny Phantom is back! And that Valerie Grey is out of the hospital!" said Tucker.
"Oh that's great! Is she at her house? I can fly over their right now if she is! This is great!" said Danny happily.
"Yeah but there's just one thing, the doctor said that she'd lost her memory as of two months. That means she doesn't remember your half side." said Tucker.
"That's alright. Now after this whole Vlad feasco, things will be back to normal between Valerie the ghost hunter and Danny Phantom. Now if that'll only happen to my parents and sister, then things will truly back to normal. I wonder if cloockwork will help out with that. Hey heard anything from Sam?" asked Danny.
"Yeah. She said that she's probably going to move towards the end of the school year." Tucker said lowering his voice. "You should probably make your move."
"I know. I should. For the past month I didn't get a chance to talk to her because she was in Califronia checking out homes. Man this really sucks! Well I'm gonna call Mr. Grey and check things in with Valerie. Talk to ya' later." said Danny as he hung up.
Danny then called Mr.Grey's cell phone. "Hello Mr. Grey? It's Danny. Danny Fenton. How's Valerie?"
"Oh hi Danny. She's doing fine. The only thing is that she doesn't remember your little secret. Which means things should be getting back to normal with you and her hunting."
"That's the good part. Um, please don't tell anyone about Danny Phantom. It would really stink."
"Oh don't worry. I won't tell a soul."
"Thank you very much. I have to go now, tell Valerie I said Hi okay? Thanks." said Danny as he hung up the phone with Mr. Grey.
At the Manson mansion, Sam was listeinig to the radio and one of her favorite songs came on, "Listen to your Heart" by DHT.
I know there's
something in the wake of your smile
I get a notion from the look
in your eyes, yeah
you've built a love but that love falls
apart
your little piece of heaven turns too dark
'Ha! That's kinda like me and Danny'thought Sam as she turned up the volume. (AN: I know techno isn't much of Sam's style of music but,…)
listen to your
heart
when he's calling for you
listen to your heart
there's
nothing else you can do
I don't know where you're going
and
I don't know why
but listen to your heart
before you tell him
goodbye
'Maybe I should tell Danny before I move. But I think he already knows from that dream I had. Did he have the same one too? I shouldn't worry about it.'
sometimes you
wonder if this fight is worthwhile
the precious moments are all
lost in the tide, yeah
they're swept away and nothing is what is
seems
the feeling of belonging to your dreams
'Is it even worth it? Sharing flirty moments with each other are all in the past, they're all gone. He still likes Valerie. More than he would like me.Him loving me are all in my dreams.'
listen to your
heart
when he's calling for you
listen to your heart
there's
nothing else you can do
I don't know where you're going
and
I don't know why
but listen to your heart
before you tell him
goodbye
'Damn, this song is so good at helping people out with problems. Damn DHT.'
and there are
voices
that want to be heard
so much to mention
but you
can't find the words
the scent of magic
the beauty that's
been
when love was wilder than the wind
"What the hell I'm I saying this is a break up song not a love song!" Sam blurted out forgetting that her parents are downstairs.
listen to your
heart
when he's calling for you
listen to your heart
there's
nothing else you can do
I don't know where you're going
and
I don't know why
but listen to your heart
before you tell him
goodbye
'Damn it! This is such a good love song and break up song! I wonder how Danny's doing. I haven't seen him in a month thanks to moving to California.'
Listen to your heart...mm..mmm
"Damn it! That's it I'm telling Danny! And I don't care who knows it!" yelled Sam fulled with confidence.
The next day of school came and went really fast. Like a half day fast. Maddie was there to pick him and Tucker up from school. Sam still was a little shy to talk to Danny, she didn't know why and neither did Danny or Tucker.
"So Danny, how was your day at school? Does your ankle feel better when you play gym or when you walk? You do walk right? Not fly?" asked Maddie.
"To answer you questions in order, fine, it feels great, yes and no I don't fly to class."
"That's good. So Tucker, how long have you known about Danny's powers?"
"Since it happened. Both me and Sam have known since it happened. But didn't Danny tell you that?"
"No. he only told us about his powers and how you and his other friends are going to help them out with Vlad. Speaking of Sam, were is she. I haven't seen her in a while."
"She's……….off on vacation. She'll be back soon." said Danny as he hesitated.
"When she gets back you'll have to call her to make sure she's alright. Tucker, what about you, have you heard anything from her?" asked Maddie.
"Yeah. About a month ago, she told she was moving to California. She also told me she went there to looks at some homes." said Tucker.
"To California! But that's so far away! Even if Danny could fly there, he'd still be very weak. It took us four days by car. But why is she moving?" asked Maddie.
"Her parents don't like the ghost weirdness that's going on in Amity Park. And they think the outlook is causing her to dress the way she does." said Tucker.
"Well that's pretty stupid. Tucker I'm dropping you of at your house. I'd like to talk to Danny alone if you don't mind."
"Sure thing Mrs. F. just drop me off here. I can walk. It's only two blocks down. No problem for me."
"Thank you Tucker." said Maddie.
"See you tomorrow Tucker" said Danny as he let out his best friend. When Maddie pulled away, she looked in the mirror to see Danny and talk to him through it.
"Danny what's wrong? You look so depressed."
"It's nothing. I'm still a little weak from using my ghostly wail. Then being able to hold up my ghost form for a full twenty minutes after. Usally I'm really weak after that attack."
"It's Sam isn't it?"
"Yeah. I'm going to miss her a lot."
"But the question is, when are you going to tell her?"
"A day before she moves. I think it's best if I tell her then so then after wards we don't have to deal with it in school or everyday or ghost fighting."
"That's way to late Danny. You should call her when we get home. So then tomorrow everything will be okay."
"Then what? Once we're a couple, things will be so different. And during a ghost attack, I or she'll reach our neck out for one and then end up dead! That's the problem with having a girlfriend who knows you're half ghost."
"Danny I know it can be hard. It took your father our last year in collage to start asking me out on dates and then to purpose. I know dating can be hard. Even more hard for some one with ghost powers. You just need to follow your heart. If you want to fly into your room and call Sam, go ahead. None of us mind."
"Thanks mom." said Danny as he kissed his mom on his cheek. When they pulled up to Fenton works, Danny grabbed his books, went intangible, and flew into his his room.
"Alright Fenton, you can do it. Just say, 'hey Sam how's it been, hey guess what, I just relized, I love you.' No that sounds way to dweebie. But anyway here I go," Danny said to himself as he picked up his cell phone and started to call Sam's cell.
"Hello?" Sam asked.
"Hi Sam!" Danny blurted out.
"Oh, hey Danny, what's up?"
"oh nothing much. My powers are fully back and the one and only Danny Phantom is now back in Amity Park."
Sam laughed. "That doesn't seem like nothing to me. Congrats. I guess Tucker told you about the moving date huh?" asked Sam.
"Yeah that sucks. To bad we never went on a real date."
"What?" Sam yelled out as her face turned bright red.
"Uh! Nothing Nothing at all!" Danny yelled. His voice started to crack and sound a little squeaky.
"ha ha! Your voice sounds so funny! I'm so lucky my voice doesn't change like that!" laughed Sam.
"I really wanted to tell you something Sam. Before you moved, I can't believe that it took me this long to relize how clueless I really am. How I should've seen it before. Before all the silly dates with Valerie or Paulina. All the times we secretly flirted with each other. Even before the first Ember incident. Sam," Danny started as he breathed in then out. "I love you."
"I love you too Danny. I always have. It just took me untill eigth grade to relize it. During that whole Ember thing, I kinda thought that attention I was getting from you was creepy, but then I relized how I kinda liked it. You know I don't care about Valerie or Paulina, just about you. Sure I got a little jealous when you took Paulina to the school dance. But dancing with you made my day. Yeah I got a little jealous over Valerie, but I learned to live with it."
"Thanks Sam. That really means a lot to me. Lets keep this away from Tucker, you know, let him find out on his own."
"Yeah that would make things a lot easier. Uh, during ghost attacks, please don't worry about me, I'll be fine. That's the only concern about this, us." said Sam.
"don't worry, I'll figure something out. Oh did you hear, Valerie's out of the hospital. She lost her memory as of two months, so that means she doesn't remember my half side." said Danny as he turned half ghost.
"That's great, now things will be back to normal between Danny Phantom and Valerie the ghost hunter. Speaking of Danny Phantom, is he on the line? I heard your voice take a slight echo to it."
"He's here, and ready to fly. I'm coming over your house. I have an idea on how your parents can stop from moving." said Danny.
"I'll see you in a few. Bye." then Sam hung up.
About five minutes later, Sam felt a slight chill in the air. Danny was there. He tried to sneak up on her but she said,
"Nice Danny, your speed must be improving. You made it here in only five minutes. Last time it almost took you ten."
"How'd you know I was here?"
"When ever you come into the room or rooms, the temputure drops a little bit. So what is your idea?" asked Sam turning to face her half ghost best almost boyfriend friend.
"I can overshadow your dad and try to convincing your mom not to move." said Danny.
"That might work." Sam said. "C'mon, they're downstairs. You can fly down there and talk to my mom. It's a cool plan I'm actually excited!" said Sam smiling.
Danny flew downstairs and over shadowed Mr. Manson. He began to talk but this time, Danny noticed that his voice sounded like Mr. Manson's and not his own. Yes Danny's overshadowing powers were growing stronger. It took Danny a while, but he was able to convince Mrs.Manson from moving. When he was finished, he flew out of Mr. Manson and back into Sam's room. "Well it's settled, the Manson's are staying in Amity Park. Your mom asked a lot of questions, hard ones, but I was able to answer." said Danny. Sam ran up to him and gave in a hug.
"I'd give you a kiss, but I'm not sure how confertable you are with that." said Sam pulling only slighty away from Danny and looking into his green eyes.
"With all of the fake-out-make-outs we've done, I think we're masters at it." said Danny moving closer to Sam and grabbing her chin. They were both smiling and looking into each others eyes. When they were about to kiss, Mrs. Manson called for Sam. Sam went downstairs to her mother. Danny went intanible and followed her.
"Sam your father and I were talking, and we've decided to stay in Amity Park." said Mrs. Manson.
"Really!" sam asked. "That's awesome! You guys are awesome! Thank you so much!" Sam yelled as she hugged her parents (which she rarely does.) Sam ran back into her room and Danny followed, still intangible.
"Danny you're the best!" Sam yelled as she hugged him.
"Yeah I know." said Danny hugging her back. "It's getting late, I should go. But first, our little 'fake-out-make-out' should resume."
"I like the sound of that." Sam said smiling and lowering her eyes to meet his. But just when they were about to kiss Danny's cell phone rang. It was his mom. She yelled at him and orded him to fly home this instant. It was ten o cloock, his curfew. "gotta go. See you Sam." and with that, Danny flew home. Sam went to the window and said,
"Good night, my little phantom."
