Invisible to You

Tucker took his eyes off of his PDA and looked around for Sam while Danny was in the process of eating his lunch, hopefully uninterrupted today. Even though he knew Sam wanted him to not worry about her he couldn't help but do so since she left him to go to class early, or so she had told him. Ever since that morning she had become as invisible as Danny tended to be in his ghost form.

"Did you hear the news," Danny said, interrupting Tucker's train of thought in the process.

"What news," he asked, sure Danny was going to talk about what had happened between him and Sam that morning.

"Vlad is coming to Amity Park to visit Axion this week, or at least that's what his excuse is," Danny took a large bite out of the sandwich in his hands. Tucker stared at him and found himself amazed how on the ball Danny could get when it came to ghost hunting now than he was when it came to things outside of ghost hunting. Granted that Vlad showing up in Amity Park had warning signs plastered all over it he still felt that Danny should have shown a bit of concern about Sam.

"Well you know what he's up to," Tucker tried to continue the conversation. Maybe Danny would notice that Sam wasn't there to join in.

"Knowing him he'll probably 'stop by' and visit my mom and me," Danny rolled his eyes and looked over to where Sam usually sat when they were at lunch, "Sam still hasn't gotten here?"

"No."

"That's strange," Danny got out of his seat, "I'm going to go look for her, you coming?"

"Nah its not like she's in danger man."

"Yeah... I'll be back soon, hopefully."

Her violet eyes watched shadows of people behind the stall door stand in front of the mirror and talk and laugh about their lives and leave one after the other. Lunch had been siting in her lap the entire time and she had only taken a bite or two from it, feeling that her hunger had greatly diminished the moment she distanced herself from her friends at lunch time.

'I'm sure they've worried about me by now,' she thought to herself and looked at the food in her lap, 'Well... Tucker maybe... but Danny probably wouldn't notice even if I told him I wasn't there in the first place.'

Her attention went back to the near silent bathroom. A sink was dripping, apparently one of the girls that hadn't closed the faucet all the way. The toilet in the stall to her right was flushing continuously for some reason that she didn't really want to discover. Between these sounds was a voice that was asking for someone in a low whisper, it was a male voice. Sam almost felt embarrassed that she was in the girls bathroom and a boy was in there asking for someone. She soon realized the name being called was her own, and the voice belonged to an invisible boy that she knew.

"Sam, are you in here," Danny asked, hoping that no one would walk in even though he was invisible he still felt odd about going into the girls bathroom, "... Hey they have nicer soap in here... and its a little more cleaner too..."

Sam shook her head as she heard the half ghost boy's comments on the girl's bathroom. He continued asking for her shortly after making more comments about the restroom while Sam found herself hesitating to come out of the stall and reveal that she was there. Paulina's voice could be heard outside of the bathroom and Sam heard Danny panic as he realized this as well. His voice disappeared before Paulina walked into the restroom with Star, chatting about the ghost boy and how much Paulina thought he was cute.

"One day I'm going to finally sit down and talk to Inviso-Bill and then we'll go on a date," Paulina sighed as she fixed her hair, "After that we can talk about getting married after high school is done with of course. I wonder if he likes the same flavor ice cream I do."

"I don't know, don't you think it would be a little weird dating a ghost," Star asked rather timidly.

"I suppose but we can work that part out. At least we'll be together forever," Paulina giggled and headed towards the door.

Once the two girls left Sam quickly left the bathroom stall and called for Danny, assuming that he stayed in the restroom to hear what Paulina thought of his ghost half.

"Danny? Are you still in here," she asked quietly, not wanting someone to come in and see her looking like she was talking to herself, "Danny?"

Sam waited a few minutes for a reply and realized just like that morning, she wasn't going to get one she would have prefered. She slowly walked out of the bathroom and started to head to her next class before the lunch bell rang.

Casper High's Techno-Geek was in the process of working his way into some of the female student's disgusted hearts when Danny phased right back into his seat as if he hadn't left it to begin with. Tucker took notice quickly and turned to look at his half ghost friend.

"So? Did you find her?"

"No, I didn't," Danny looked at the remainder of his lunch and felt a bit bad about what had happened that morning, knowing it was the reason Sam had disappeared on the both of them.

"She's got to be here, she probably headed to class early," Tucker looked at the time on his PDA.

"I checked there already, I even went into every one of the girl's bathrooms and I still didn't find her," Danny frowned, "But you know they do have cleaner bathrooms than us, right?"

"They do? Huh... imagine that..."

"Hey, we should be headed for class ourselves."

"So soon?"

"Yeah I'd hate for some girl to die from the next pick up line you try," Danny laughed and took the rest of his lunch to the garbage can while Tucker got to his feet and followed him.

"HEY, what's that suppose to mean!"

"What you think it means, of course," he stopped walking causing Tucker to run into him, "Hey, how about I we go to the movies on Thursday? We can watch that new movie."

"Uh... ok, but what about Sam?"

"I'll call her and try to get her to come."

Tucker looked at Danny and found himself wanting to hit his head a little less...and possibly a little more. Danny was finally going to try to fix what had happened with Sam over the phone, but he completely forgot about Vlad in the process. Being Danny's friend for so long, he couldn't help but feel how one track minded Danny had gotten... that is unless he didn't forget about Vlad and just wanted to make up an excuse to call Sam and fix things between them.

Perhaps things would finally be right between the three soon enough and all they would have to worry about was who Danny's next opponent was and when they were going to strike next.
