Tremble with fear cause I'm back again with yet another chapter! Or you could just celebrate. . . Either one works for me!
Title: Two sides to Love
Summary: Valerie sees Danny Phantom kissing Sam and assumes that Sam is cheating on her current boyfriend. Takes place after Reign Storm (awesome movie!)
Disclaimer: Beware of imitation pennies named Bob and know that I do not own Danny Phantom cause if I did then the new episodes would come in a lot faster and Sam would have told Danny she loves him in Reign Storm!

LET me not mar that perfect dream
By an auroral stain,
But so adjust my daily nightThat it will come again.
Let Me Not Mar That Perfect Dream-Emily Dickinson
"You know you should really wear your hair down more often, it looks really great tonight," Danny complimented Sam with a grin.
Sam blushed again for the millionth time that night as she accepted some punch her date handed to her. The dance theme turned out to be 'a night in the orient'
Beautiful Asian decorations where hung everywhere and many dresses were red and gold and in a kimono style.
Sam smiled. "You really think so? Well take it all in cause this is the last time you're going to see my hair down again after tonight," she told him grinning. She took a sip of her punch and glanced around. The school gym was becoming very crowded, almost everyone from Casper high was there! She noticed Mr. Lancer standing over in the corner, his beady eyes scanning the gym for any form of chaos that was about to happen.
"Hey guys!
As the two turned they saw Tucker and Valerie walk up to them through the crowd of students. Valerie thought her date looked very decent that night even though he was wearing the same tuxedo he had worn to the last dance.
"Wow! You look great tonight Sam!" Valerie complimented shyly. Danny stared at her in surprise, waiting what Sam had to say. She grinned taking another sip of her punch. "Thanks I was just about going to say the same thing about you,"
"Hey Danny, where's Jazz?" Tucker asked him as he poured Valerie and himself a glass of punch. A new song had begun, a bit faster and Sam began watching her fellow classmates dance, looking like they were having the time of their life.
"Jazz has a bunch of studying to do tonight because tomorrow she's taking an entrance exam into Harvard University. She didn't want to get distracted, besides she didn't have a date" Danny told her.
"Danny's sister gets to be a senior next year even though she's a sophomore now. ." Sam explained to her.
"Yoo-hoo! Danny!" a voice called making Sam cringe. Everyone turned to see Paullina. Her single diagonal sleeve dress shimmered gold within the dim light while her long dark chestnut brown hair was pulled back with a golden sequin clip.
"Hi Paullina, you look pretty tonight!" Danny complimented politely which made Sam glare.
"I know, Listen I was wondering, of course I already have a date to the dance but since Danny Phantom seems to appear around you all the time do you think you can get him to ask me to dance?" she asked him smiling the sleek smile that Sam always found revolting.
Valerie frowned when she heard the name Danny Phantom. Hero. . . Everyone thought he was a hero when she knew the truth. It made her sick to her stomach as she witnessed fan girls worshiping him like Paullina when Phantom didn't deserve praise.
'That ghost kid had better not show his face around here tonight' she thought bitterly.
She was finally ready to bring him down, once and for all.
"I don't think I can Paullina, I mean I don't know where he is and. ." Danny said uncomfortably.
"Then find him silly!" Paullina said giggling.
"Look Paullina! Danny came to the dance so he could be with me! Not so he could be messenger or anything like that! If Danny doesn't want to find Danny Phantom then just forget it!" Sam glared at her.
Paullina's face suddenly became cold as she frowned. "Oh excuse me Danny, I didn't know that your date was with this looser,'
"Hey don't call her a looser!" Danny said angrily forgetting to mention that they weren't going out. . . .yet. . . .
"Oh so you are going out! I kind of expected it. . . .you make such an awful couple!" And with that Paullina laughed at her own joke and walked back into the crowd.
Tucker raised an eyebrow. "So are you going out?" He asked clueless.
Valerie rolled her eyes as a piano medley danced around the room, accompanied by a flute and the squeals of excited girls as they pulled their dates out towards the dance floor.
Every night in my dreams
I see you. I feel you.
That is how I know you go on. . .
"Come on Tucker lets dance," she said pulling him onto the dance floor.
"But wait, are they going out?"
Valerie sighed as she dragged her date away from her friends. 'Danny's never going to ask me out, he's so clueless he doesn't even know who he really loves,'
"Valerie are you okay?"
Far across the distance
And spaces between us
You have come to show you go on.
Her amber eyes blinked before settling upon Tucker's face. Swaying to the music, they listened to the girls around them singing along with the familiar lyrics.
Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more you open the door
And you're here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on
"Titanic, one of the most romantic movies ever," Tucker said grinning as he watched Valerie steal a small glance over where Danny and Sam where standing.
"Yeah," she whispered in agreement.
"Hey Val? Thanks for coming with me tonight, I hope you're having fun,"
Snapping out of her thoughts, she glanced over at her date who was smiling down at her softly.
"I am having fun Tucker. . . I'm glad I came,"
"I'm glad you came too,"
If Sam hated something more than Paullina it would have to be awkward silences. She pulled a strand of raven, black hair away from her eyes as she watched girls sing along with the song that melted her heart.
Love can touch us one time
And last for a lifetime
And never go till we're one
"Uh Sam?" Danny's voice brought her back into reality. His warm and gentle voice turned her eyes towards his crystal, sapphire blue orbs.
"I was wondering if we could talk. . ."
'I have to know how she thinks of me, a friend . . .or more than a friend,'
"Sure," Sam said smiling slightly. Maybe if they were away from the gym it wouldn't feel so awkward, but why was she feeling so uncomfortable now?
"Great," he said with a hint of relief in his voice. He took her arm and pulled her outside.
They decided to walk around the school for awhile. It was a nice evening, moon
was shining brightly above, surrounded by millions of silver stars. The air was cool and warm at the same time with a slight breeze.
After awhile of saying nothing Danny looked over at Sam. She was staring up at the sky while her raven, black hair caught the gentle touch of the night breeze.
Danny smiled. 'She looks so beautiful tonight but then again she always looks beautiful. . .wait a minute. . .why haven't I realized that before?'
"So what did you want to talk about?" Sam asked still staring at the sky, as though hypnotized by the stars.
Danny froze. How was he going to ask her? He hadn't rehearsed or anything!
'Relax Fenton the worst she could say is no,' he thought to himself.
Danny cleared his throat making Sam break her gaze from the stars and look at him curiously.
His question was caught in his throat as he tried to choke out the words his heart needed to ask.
"I just wanted. . .well I was just wondering, what type of friend do you think of me as?"
'No! That's not what I meant! Dammit!'
As the words became clear in her mind, Sam turned around and glanced at him with a raised eyebrow.
"What do you mean, what type of friend? You know you're my best friend. . ."
"No! I mean, that's not what I meant, I guess what I'm trying to say is do you think we could ever be more than just friends. . .?"
Danny waited for an answer, he wasn't sure what to expect. What he didn't expect was Sam leaning up a bit on tiptoe and kissing him fully on the lips. The faint song drifted out of the gym, mixing in with the night air and kissed the stars.
Love was when I loved you
One true time I hold to
In my life we'll always go on
Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more you open the door
And you're here in my heart
And my heart will go on and 0n
The breeze's whisper wove around the two as Danny returned the kiss. After a few moments he broke it and smiled softly, placing his hand upon her cheek.
"Good, because you know I really like you,"
She felt his warm hand brush her cheek and smiled up at him, a newborn feeling arising within her heart.
"Well, that works out because I really like you too," she said blushing.
He smiled and kissed her forehead.
"Hey everyone! Come out and look!" an excited voice cried making Sam and Danny turn towards the direction of the midnight sky while students abandon the gym and crowded around the new couple.
"Whoa!" someone had gasped as excited murmurs filled the night air.
A meteor shower had begun. Thousands of falling stars danced down and touched the night horizon causing the sky to sparkle even more than it already was sparkling.
"Number the Stars," they heard Mr. Lancer gasp in wonderment as the students became hypnotized by the shower, just as Sam was in a trance earlier.
You're here there's nothing I fear
And I know that my heart will go on
We'll stay forever this way
You are safe in my heart and my heart will go on and on
Danny smiled and looked over at Sam who was once again staring at the sky. Only this time she noticed Danny and smiled back at him. Danny took her hand in his and they watched the meteors shine and fall.
It was a perfect way to end such a perfect evening.
