Invisible to You

Danny made short work of the Box Ghost and quickly stuck him inside of the Fenton Thermos, closing the top before the ghost could escape. He sighed as he got out of ghost mode next to Tucker, handing the thermos to him.

"Come on, I guess we'll catch whatever movie is playing now that we missed Space Aliens from Planet X," Danny said as he started to walk towards the movie theater.

"Yeah I guess so," Tucker sighed and placed the thermos in his bag and followed Danny, "What about Sam?"

"Yeah, I tried to call her and get her to come with us but she said something about working on llama's rights? That or something else," he trailed off and went to the ticket booth.

"Err, don't you think its... odd she hasn't been hanging around us for awhile," Tucker asked, trying to get Danny to talk about Sam's disappearance from their group.

Danny stared at the listings of movies and thought about what Tucker had said, leaving a long silence between them. He wasn't absolutely sure if Tucker knew about what had happened between him and Sam the other day but he had to tell him the truth about why she had distanced herself from them.

"Well, I guess... she's kind of upset right now because of what I said to her," Danny started and finally found a movie for them, "How about Power Ninjas the movie?"

"We've seen that twice already," Tucker was getting annoyed with Danny's lack of interest in the conversation, "And what do you mean she was kind of upset? What did you say to her exactly?"

"Two for Power Ninjas," Danny told the girl at the ticket booth and turned back around to face Tucker, "She kinda told me she... liked me and I guess I paniced at the last minute and told her we should just be friends. She didn't seem bothered about what I said at first but...now she doesn't even hang around us anymore. Seriously, what would you do if Sam just came up to you and said that she... loved you?"

"I thought you said she said that she liked you, not LOVED you."

"Well, she said that, either way it really caught me off guard. What was I going to say to her really? I've thought about Sam in that sort of way only a every now and then, but now with Valerie liking me and willing to give up ghost hunting just for me I really don't know," Danny fiddled with the tickets in his hands, "I don't know if I want to risk our friendship when I have the chance to change someone else's life completely."

"That's all?"

"Yeah, I guess. What do you think?"

"I think you've already risked your friendship," Tucker took his ticket from Danny and headed into the theater. Surprise overcame Danny and he quickly went to catch up with Tucker, finding him looking for a seat in the back. Danny sat down next to him and tried to gather what had just happened.

"Hey you aren't mad about this are you?"

"Really I have no reason to be mad about it, Danny, Sam does," Tucker tried to pay attention to the previews more than the blue eyes that were staring at him in complete confusion.

"Oh please! You're not going to get mad over something like this are you?"

Tucker looked at Danny and rolled his eyes, "Its not just something! I don't know what you really said to Sam but you really upset her. She's been trying to think of how to tell you she likes you forever and then when I tell her to do it then she ends up crying to me because of what you said to her about it."

"You told her to say that!"

"She's always wanted to say it, I just encouraged her to do it...before you ended up getting taken by some other girl," he sighed and shook his head, "I should have never said that to her."

"Tucker, do you think I should have said yes to her?"

"I think that it was up to you but in the end you officially missed out on something good," Tucker stood up, "I don't really feel like watching this anymore. I'll talk to you later."

"Right, see ya later then," Danny watched Tucker leave him and looked back at the movie screen feeling that he too was in the wrong place right now.

It took him until nearly half way through the movie to realize that siting there watching the same movie over again with no company was less fun than ever. Danny left the theater and walked towards a dark enough alley to go into his ghost form and possibly get into his room before anyone noticed he had come home early.

Flying through Amity Park always cleared his mind on more than one occasion yet tonight it was harder to think about anything else other than what Tucker had said to him. Maybe he should visit Sam on his way home and make sure she was alright for real and not just playing it off. Maybe he could try to salvage their friendship and tell her why he really didn't say he He sped up quickly to get to Sam's house before she went to bed and he'd have to wait for the next morning to try to talk to her alone again.

Sam shook her head and looked back at her computer screen where her and Tucker were having a conversation on web-cam. It almost made her want to hit her head on her desk several times after hearing how dense Danny was while him and Tucker were out.

"Are you telling me he actually said that," she asked, not wanting to actually believe Danny would say what Tucker was repeating to her.

"Pretty much."

"It figures, he never really thinks things all the way through," she growled, "He really thinks its going to work between him and Valerie! The moment he tells her that he's the ghost that she's been chasing she'll hate him completely."

"It could be worse, he could tell Paulina," Tucker laughed at the thought.

"I don't think she could comprehend that completely... and if she did she'd just use Danny."

"Well if it makes you feel better, I told him he was missing out on a great girl," Tucker slightly trailed off, a bit embarrassed.

"You... you did?"

"Yeah, something like that...but I think it went in one ear and out the other," he sighed with her.

"I thought as much. Anyway, I'll see you at school tomorrow."

"Night, Sam"

"Night, Tucker," she closed the web-cam window and turned her computer off. Sam almost didn't feel like moving from the chair in front of her computer. She just couldn't believe she had spilled everything to the one guy she's really liked and he just brushed her off with the just friends thing. Tomorrow was going to be Friday, maybe she could get Tucker and Danny to go somewhere with her, it made no sense to ignore them now because of what happened between her and Danny. In a way, it would help them move on and forget the whole thing ever happened in the first place. That is, if she should bring herself to forget the event ever.

Danny took a quick peek into Sam's room and was relieved to find her still awake. This time he would say the right words and maybe smooth things over a bit and hopefully move on with their friendship.

"I'll go in there and say 'Hey Sam! I'm sorry about being really stupid the other day. I know you like me and I like you too but hey you know lets still just be friends!' ... God that's so STUPID! Urgh! Maybe Tucker was right... Sam's not a bad girl or anything and I've known her for a good while... and she even knows I'm a ghost so that wouldn't be a problem," Danny paused, "Really, what can I say to her..."

"Having problems, Daniel?"

Danny turned around quickly, his ghost sense going off a little too late, and prepared to throw an energy blast at the intruder he knew all too well.
