----------------------------------------------Five Years Later-----------------------------------------
Danny and Sam had been going steady for the last five years. They had both graduated from Casper High and attended Amity State University. They had remained together through all this time because they knew that they were made for each other. Their lives couldn't be any happier. Walking through the park, Danny knew that it was time to take their relationship one step further. He remembered back to a time five years ago, when he and Sam had been best friends and were both too afraid to admit their feelings for each other. When they had finally broken that barrier, it had felt as though a weight had been lifted from off their shoulders. Danny knew that what he was about to do would be much easier than admitting to her how he felt, since both of then knew that it was the next logical step. He ascended that hill once again, the hill where they had had their first fake-out makeout, where they had broken down and admitted their feelings for each other. At the top of the hill he found Sam, the breeze ruffling her hair. She wore her raven hair down to the middle of her back now. His ebony locks were only slightly longer then they had been when he was a teenager, but still long enough to warrant the need to restrain it in a pony tail. He reached her and enveloped her in a tight bear hug.
"Sam, I love you. I've loved you since preschool, and I will love you until the end of time itself," he whispered into her ear.
"Danny, I love you also; I would never let you go, not in a million, billion years." Danny smiled and got down on one knee.
"If that's the case," he said as he took a ring out of his pocket, "then will you be my wife so that we can be together for ever and ever?"
"Danny, of course I'll marry you!" Sam exclaimed as she held the ring up to the light of the setting sun. "But why is the ring engraved to a person named Wes?"
"Turn it over. Wow, and I thought that I was the C student around here," he said playfully as he poked her in the side. Sam giggled and turned the class ring over, noticing for the first time that the ring actually said 'Sam' on it.
"So you almost gave Valerie a ring that said my name on it all those years ago. Smooth."
She slipped the ring onto her left ring finger, and the two of them embraced once again. They kissed, a long, passionate kiss, and then went home to their apartment arm in arm.
The next day, each of them called their families and told them that they were engaged. Danny's family took the news enthusiastically, as always. His mother, who had been the first one to pick up the phone, said, "Congratulations, sweetie! Your father and I are so proud of you!" She turned to Jack and whispered quietly so that Danny couldn't hear her over the phone, "Fork over the dough, fat man. They got engaged before the age of twenty-five. I won fair and square."
"What was that?" Danny asked.
"Nothing, sweetie." Maddie said. Danny put Sam on the phone with his mother and they started talking about plans for the wedding. Afterwards, Sam called her parents to tell them that she was engaged. They were overjoyed, until they found out whom she was engaged to. They were mortified at the prospect of being related to the Fentons, whom they still despised. Even so, they were happy that their daughter was being somewhat traditional for once in her life.
"I know that you know that your father and I aren't on the best terms with the boy's family, but we're happy for you nonetheless." Her mother said. "If only your grandmother was here to see you get married; she would have been so proud of you! Besides, she always used to say that she had a good feeling about that Fenton boy."
Sam said her goodbyes and hung up the phone, a tear glinting in her eye. Danny noticed this and asked her what was the matter. "My parents just reminded me about Grandma, about how she would be so happy to see us get married."
"Ooh." Danny realized the cause for her concern immediately. Sam had been very close to her grandmother, and she had been deeply affected by her death. She would have gone to pieces entirely if it had not been for Danny's support. "If you want, I can go into the Ghost Zone and look for her, if you want to see her one more time." Sam shook her head.
"It would be too painful to say goodbye again. Besides, she wouldn't have come back as a ghost. She lived a full, happy life, and is in heaven right now." (Scene shifts to heaven, where Sam's grandmother bowls a strike at the heavenly bowling alley that puts her ahead her competitor, an old man with hair whitened with age and sapphire-blue eyes. "That's right, you got no game, grandpa Fenton!" The man bowls a strike himself, saying, "Oh, it's on, grandma Manson!")
Sam rested her head on Danny's chest, and he wrapped his arms around her. They stood there for some time, him silently comforting her while she dealt with the grief that had welled up within her. Finally, Sam looked up at him. A few tears studded her face, but beneath them she was smiling slightly. "Thanks, Danny. I feel much better now."
"Anything for you, Sammy."
