Chapter Four
"So you guys are finally going steady? Man, it's about time!" Tucker said happily. The weekend and dance had passed and Monday morning had come once again. Gossip had traveled fast about Danny and Sam and they often found themselves walking past a group of whispering, giggling girls. Jazz had found out through a friend who had gone to the dance and had automatically tackled Danny the minute he had come through the door.
"It's about time you guys went out!" she had exclaimed as Danny struggled to free himself from her grip.
Valerie smiled. She knew that Sam had liked Danny and she was almost sure that Danny had liked her back. What she didn't know was why she felt a little jealous.
If it hadn't been for the ghosts, that might have been her holding Danny's hand.
"So how many kids are you expecting?" Tucker asked, smirking at the new couple.
Val held back a giggle while Danny rolled his eyes at his best friend.
Sam said nothing. Danny had asked her out the night of the dance and that they were now holding hands.
She didn't understand. Danny had finally asked her out! Of course she was happy about it but why? Why did Danny pick her? She knew he liked Valerie. Heck, he liked Valerie more than her at one point. Valerie didn't go out with him because she wanted to keep ghost hunting. Did Danny chose her only because of this? Was she just someone for his amusement and then when Valerie finally said yes was she going to be kicked to the curb?
"Sam? Sam are you okay?" Danny asked gently squeezing her hand and bringing out of her thoughts.
Did he really like her as much as she liked him?
"Come on the bell just rang," Danny told her. Sam noticed that all the students were now entering the high school. She must have been really deep in thought to miss a loud shrill bell like the one Lancer had just installed.
"Oh . . .yeah, right" Sam said as she and Danny walked into Casper High. Danny looked over at her as they walked hand in hand up the steps. His concerned eyes glanced over her for a moment before he spoke.
"So what were you thinking about? I've never seen you so deep in thought before,"
Sam shrugged. She couldn't tell him for some reason.
"You know I'll find out sooner or later so you should just tell me now," Danny told her grinning.
Sam looked up and grinned back.
"Oh really? How are you going to figure me out Mr. I'm So Smart I make C's and D's in Lancer's class?"
"Hey! I made an A minus and a B plus once!" Danny defended himself grinning.
"Yeah, once!" Sam laughed as they continued to walk down the hallway for class.
"See! I told you those losers got together!"
'Typical' Sam thought bitterly as she turned to see Paullina and her fan crew hanging out by the lockers before the tardy bell rang. The other girls in the group, which included a set of twins and a girl who looked like she couldn't decide whether or not she wanted to dress punk or preppy, caught on quick and let out some held in laughter.
"Eww! Yuck! Loser love!"
"You were right Pauli they do make such an awful couple!" one of the twins cracked.
What was it with these girls!? Didn't they have anything better to do!? Sam had opened her mouth angrily, about to tell them to mind they're own damn business and that she didn't care what those shallow girls thought until Danny took e her by surprise and squeezed her hand. "Look, they're not worth it so lets just ignore them," she heard him whisper. Sam blinked. Normally Danny would be blushing with embarrassment, his face so red that he wouldn't be able to say anything. This was so unlike him.
"Aw, look I think we struck a nerve!" The other twin chided as the whole group went into unanimous laughter as Danny stopped walking. This caused Sam to stop as well and instead of looking at Paullina she looked at her boyfriend curiously.
What was he up to? For some reason, Sam found herself in wonderment and curiosity as Danny looked into her eyes, ignoring the laughter.
She didn't expect him to kiss her so passionately next in front of the group.
Surprisingly this caused Paullina and her friends to stop laughing immediately.
"Ew! Way to go Pauli! Now they're making out in front of us!" "Ugh, get a room losers," Paullina shuddered and turning away from the sight.
"Awww!"
"Mika!"
"What!? I think its sweet!"
"Too bad you can't get Danny Phantom to do that with you huh Pauli?"
"Shut up!" Paullina said grumpily as the others laughed. Just like Danny thought they soon lost interest and began picking on one another. The warning bell rang telling all students that class was going to start in two minutes (A/N well in my high school we have three bells, one that tells you its time to go to class, another in between to tell you that you have two minutes to get to class just in case you were goofing off and didn't hear the first one, and one that says you were tardy. I just thought I'd use that bell system in Danny's school. . . )
Paullina and her friends walked off to class still giggling and the halls became sort of empty within seconds.
"HEY! NO PDA IN THE HALLS OR ON CAMPUS!" A teacher yelled from her door.
Sam broke the kiss quickly and she and Danny looked "Come on, lets go before Lancer gives us both detention again," Sam said remembering the last one she served
Danny smiled as they both walked to Biology, hand in hand.
"Man it feels good to get out of there! I hate Mondays!"
After eight hours of torture, Danny, Sam and Tuck found themselves trudging their way home, this time they were accompanied by Valerie.
"My history teacher loaded us down with homework. . . .I'm never going to get it done by tomorrow! I have to be at my job in an hour!" Valerie whined.
"Lancer gave us another useless report . . . .Four pages and Eighteen hundred words due in two days. . .And on Chemical bonding and reactions. . . . I'm going to be up all night!"
"Well I can always come over and help you out," Sam offered hopefully looking for an excuse to be with Danny.
Danny smiled. "Sure , if you can find a way for this to be a little more interesting be my guest," he told her grinning. Sam grinned back and ignored Tucker's snort.
"Bye guys! See ya tomorrow!" Valerie said as she turned into a street that led to her apartment.
"See ya Val!" Tucker called as the three teens continued their way down the street.
"So do your parents know that we're going out?" Sam asked Danny curiously.
Danny shrugged. "Even though everyone in Casper high knows about us, somehow it hasn't reached them yet. I wasn't going to tell them anyway until I was sure that you're parents would be cool with it. Jazz said she wouldn't tell them,"
"I guess telling our parents wouldn't be good either. My dad was so close to locking me in a closet when I told him that you were my date for the dance,"
Danny laughed.
"Hey guys I'll call you guys later okay? Unless you don't want me to interrupt your little study session," Tucker added smirking. Sam shot him a glare while Danny shook his head in disbelief. The minute Tucker got himself a girlfriend payback would begin.
"Well, just don't answer if I'm interrupting anything!"
"You always interrupt something," Sam snapped as Tucker turned a corner and began walking down the street that lead to his house laughing his head off.
"Remind me again why we're friends with him?" Sam asked, glaring as Tuck disappeared from view. Like all friends, she and Tuck got on each others nerves but she had to admit, she was grateful that he had become her best friend in the first place.
Danny opened his mouth to answer instead of words, his blue ghost sense went off. Winds began to pick up and he frowned as a large, green shadow covered the once sunny sky. This caused a lady nearby them to scream. The man with her, most likely her husband for they were pushing a stroller with a little baby girl, sighed and shook his head.
"Annette! Its only a cloud, calm down!"
No luck; Annette's scream caused her daughter to cry in the stroller. Now people were beginning to come out of their apartments to get a better look at this strange shadow.
"Danny, what is that?" Sam asked, frowning up at the cloud as it made it's way towards the park. Distant thunder rumbled and winds began to moan softly. A flock of birds flew over them in a panicked frenzy, cawing as they tried to find shelter.
Danny couldn't be sure what type of ghost that was but he knew one thing, like every other ghost this one had earned a one way ticket into the Fenton thermos.
"I don't know," he said pulling Sam in an ally where no eyes where watching.
". . .But can't be good, GOING GHOST!" As he shouted his ever famous motto blue shiny rings appeared on his body and as they separated Danny Phantom appeared. Phantom wrapped his arms around Sam's small waist and together, they both flew towards the park. As they flew in the back of his mind, he couldn't help but think that the shadow wasn't as innocent as it looked.
A/N so the ending sentence was sort of new. I'm just happy that this chapter was finally updated! Well, reupdated. Anyway thanks for reading! Hope you liked the sort of new chapter!
