Chapter1: Awake and Nothing

Danny felt around for something to help him up. His eyes were still shut and he felt to sore to even think of opening them. He pulled himself up and started to feel his body for and scars or any signs of blood. "This isn't working" Danny told himself "Ok count of 3! 1 2 3" and on that Danny opened his eyes. The light hit him hard, which was strange as Danny was sure it was still night, after a second though he realised he was wrong.

The sun looked like it was just up and was shining right at Danny. He looked at his painful body and seen his top was cut in several places as was his abdomen and his jeans had 1 cut that run up them and his leg had a smaller but deeper gash in it. Danny was sure that this must have came from his fall as he only ever got bruises or the occasional broken bone in his ghost form and never got cut as he never had flesh. Danny tried to walk but as he put pressure on his wounded leg he got a sharp pain then it gave way and he fell on his face.

Groaning Danny tried to find his feet with the help of a tree. It was then he realised he was in the park. "Wow I really did go far I was in town while fighting Plasmas" Danny said to himself, trying to remember what happened. He remembered holding Plasmas in his ring and Plasmas using his shield to break it, then Sam fired that ghost cannon at them and then, nothing. Danny couldn't remember what happened to him, or Plasmas or "Sam" he gasped remembering she was directly under the blast. "Got to find her" he said then with a burst of energy he screamed "Going ghost" and then, nothing.

Danny looked at his hands but they were still flesh and bone. He wasn't in his black costume and he didn't have a glow around him. "That's weird" Danny said, checking his entire body "I must be too weak" then giving himself a funny look added "and going crazy cause I keep talking to myself". Danny picked up a stick and began to walk using it as a crutch. ""It's a long way back to my house from here" Danny said looking glum "but I will make it, I just hope Sam is ok" he added looking round making sure she wasn't there.


Sam lied in her bed still awake and reliving the night before. She had went round to Danny's house to ask Danny something important but when she got there he was already to involved in a battle he was planning the Vlad the she decided not to bother and help him. He had told her is plan and before they could get Tucker, Plasmias had already sent the signal so they went off. Danny was losing so they used the plan but it went wrong and they a lot got blasted away.

When she woke up on 20 minutes had past but no one was there, she looked for Danny and even got Tucker and Jazz to help but they couldn't find him. Jazz had said she would make up and excuse to tell her parents, and that made Sam very happy the Jazz had found out about Danny's powers, Tucker and her went home but Sam couldn't. She had to keep looking but gave up after another hour.

Sam looked at the clock and it read 4:47AM. Sam got up and looked out the window. She was in her bed cloths but never got any sleep. 'Danny I hope your ok' she thought as she stared out into the sunrise. The battle had been really bad and for some time in it Sam was sure Danny would be killed, well sort of, but Danny had come through just like he always dose. The gothic girl got lost in her memories of the great Danny Phantom and all that he had done then they trailed onto the great Danny Fenton and all he had done.

"Get out of it" Sam said a little too loudly as she herd some grumbling from the next room. She stopped and listened to make sure no one was up before she continued and said "He is your friend nothing more". 'Then why is it you can't stop thinking about him and every time you speak to him you get that bit shy?' a voice inside her head asked. "It's not like that he is a friend and that's it!" Sam answered stubbornly and began to wonder if the voice was right and if she was crazy to talk to herself. "Maybe sleep will help" Sam said, not feeling tired but knowing she needs it she got into bed and closed her eyes with one thought on her mind. Danny!


Danny arrived home after what felt like hours and collapsed in the front door. "Danny" he heard someone scream as 3 people ran up to is limp body. "Danny are you ok?" he heard the same voice ask as he opened is eyes to see that it belonged to his mother. Danny could see his mother and father both crouching down beside him and examining him with their eyes wondering what had done this to their son. He looked to the side to see Jazz is older sister stand a bit back as if scared to even come near him.

"I am fine" he lied in a tired voice "I just really need some rest" and at his father lifted him up and looked at him with a expression of deep regret as if it was some how his fault. Danny grinned at his dad and got an award wining Jack Fenton smile in return.

"Danny, Jazz told us about you staying at Tuckers but when his parents phoned here and asked if Tucker was here we stayed up all night worrying about you, what happened?" asked his concerned mother looking at his any battle wounds.

"Well…." Danny began trying to figure out what to say "it was hooligans!" he said happy at this cover up "Me and Tucker were out and got attacked! We both ran in different directions so I don't know what happened to him but I got caught and attacked. I think they left me and I woke up in the park with these wounds." He finished and looked from one parent to another to see if they bought it.

"Those fiends!" yelled Jack in his over enthusiastic way "why if I find them the will get one of these" and Danny's father began to act out exactly what he would do to them dropping Danny on the bottom step. "Oh sorry Danny" he added helping him back up.

"Its ok, I will get some sleep and be right as rain, after all it is Saturday so I don't have school" he added thankful of this. His father helped him up the stairs and lay him on his bed then left with a wave.

"If there's anything you need just ask" Danny's mother told him as she left blowing him a kiss and leaving him with his sister who looked with a mixture of anger and relief.

"How long are you going to keep lying to mum and dad? Its getting really bad Danny last night they were going to phone the police if I hadn't stopped them" she said in a very frustrated tone.

"I know its bad but please don't tell them, they would only worry more and neither one of us want that" Danny answered. Knowing he was right and that she wasn't going to get him to tell their parents now she nodded. "Thanks Jazz!" Danny said "and one more thing, is Sam ok?" he asked trying to sound cool but not doing a good job.

Jazz smiled a knowing smile and asked "why do you want to know?"

"Because she was there when I was fighting Plasmas and she could have got hit so I want to know, is she ok?" Danny said recovering to a level of not letting anything out but not to a level were Jazz couldn't already guess it anyway.

"She is fine!" Jazz answered smiling but added "though she was very worried about you and I told her to go home I'm not sure she did right away or get that much sleep when she did"

"Oh" said Danny again trying to sound casual "you think I should phone her?" he asked trying to make it as natural as he could he added "Just to show her I am ok"

"I doubt she will be up now it is 4am" Jazz said almost laughing "Why don't you get some sleep and I will tell you if she calls?" she asked with another knowing smile. Danny nodded and watched as she left knowing that this conversation was going to bite him again tomorrow but decided to get some sleep. So Danny closed his eyes and had his last thoughts of Sam Manson, the gothic girl of is hart.


"NO Don't leave me! Please don't go! I need you Danny I need you! Don't go I lov..."

Sam Shot up out of her dream and looked around. The voice she had heard was so familiar to her but she couldn't think what it was and why was it coming from the Fenton's lab room. Sam then stared shocked as she realised that was to real to be a dream and that the voice was her own.

Sorry this isn't all great and that it took so long to get in but I had major writers block and really didn't want to write this chapter but I figured I needed it as a build up and other reasons. Please review and tell me what you like and don't like. This is my first Danny Phantom Fic so please don't be to harsh but do be honest. Thanks!
