Chapter Three: Fingers, Frustrations and Fluff
Sam Manson was sitting in her family's limousine, mumbling to herself while repeatedly hitting her head against the window. "Perfect. Abso-flipping-lutely perfect. Not only did I manage to frighten my best-friend, I acted like a cowardly dork and ran away. I didn't walk, I ran. Into a limo! This limo!" Sam stopped and then chuckled. "Well at least if I can't have dignity anymore, I can have a classy get away car." Groaning, she laid down in the seat and started hitting her head again.
"Miss, I know I shouldn't interrupt your ranting, but I don't think your grandmother would approve of you getting a concussion,' said James the driver.
Sam stopped and sat up quickly. "Sorry James. I just feel like I've given the women's movement the finger." James wisely said nothing, but silently wondered what a person's finger had to do with women's rights and teenage dating.
A few slow minutes passed before Sam asked "So, how much of that did you see?"
She knew James would be truthful with her. Having abnormally perky and rich parents had one advantage: An excellent staff that had known her since she was a baby. They were more family than her parents.
"Well miss, I saw you kiss your boyfriend and then run into the car," James answered honestly.
Sam blushed and started shaking her head. "Danny's not my boyfriend. He's my best-friend. Except now I don't know if he is, because I just crossed the best-friend line and I really don't know how he's taking it."
"Well Sam, from what I saw, not that I was spying, I think you have a nice young man that cares about you." James answered promptly, trying to assure his young mistress.
"Thanks James." Sam replied, starting to smile for no reason what so ever. "By the way, kudos on the getaway. I didn't even know these things could go that fast."
James blushed slightly and replied. "Oh they can go faster. Do you know why your parents hired me the day you were born? Your mother had started to go into labor and your father was very distraught. They were forced to take a taxi to the hospital and I just so happened to be the driver."
"Your father promised a huge tip if I could safely get them to the hospital in 15 minutes. I got them there within 8, and your father hired me on the spot."
Sam laughed and smiled at her driver's attempts to cheer her up.
They were nearing Casper High School when she looked out the window and gasped as she glimpsed a figure flying furiously after them. When she looked back, she couldn't see anything. Sighing with relief, she leaned back into her seat.

Danny was still dazed as he looked over and realized Tucker was standing in front of him, pointing a dozen high tech gadgets at him.
"Tucker, why do you have a boom mic?"
Tucker glanced down at his PDA and quickly stuffed it behind his back. "Huh? What are you talking about?"
"Tucker!"
"Dude, whether or not I'm holding a few recording instruments in my hand, is not the issue right now. You should be more concerned about Sam." Tucker managed to get out, without looking too guilty. "Or can your brain focus yet?"
Danny just blushed and said "So that really happened? I didn't imagine it?"
Tucker just shook his head and replied, "No, it happened. Bout time it happened, but it happened."
"What do you mean about time? Why did Sam run away? WHY ARE YOU RECORDING THIS?" Danny yelled, when he realized Tucker had stuck the electro gear back in his face.
"Sorry. I just can't believe it's finally happening. I need proof to reassure myself, and my viewing audience," Tucker answered.
Danny rubbed his temples, trying to stop the huge headache that was starting to form. "TUCKER! Please explain."
Tucker finally put his PDA away and waved his hand in front of Danny's face.
"What are you doing now?" Danny asked, getting extremely annoyed at his best-friend.
"Just checking to see if the blindness was temporary."
" I AM NOT BLIND" Danny growled out, losing what patience he had left.
"Oh really? Cause I'm almost positive that you're now blind and clueless. Why else would you just stand there and let Sam go." Tucker replied quite calmly.
"I am not clueless. I just don't understand why she did that. I'm not complaining about it, just trying to figure it out." Danny said, resisting the urge to strangle Tucker.
"If you want to know, why don't you ask Sam. She's already taken the first step. Now it's up to you."
Danny just looked at Tucker.
"Ok. I'm gonna go and talk to her. I'm going to find out why she just left, without waiting for my reaction. And after that, you're gonna have to explain why you have a viewing audience."
And with that, Danny yelled "Going ghost!" and flew off into the sunset, trying to reach Sam before it was too late.
Tucker just grabbed his PDA and pointed it at his head. "And that ladies and gentlemen, was THE moment you all have been waiting and betting on."
He with that, he took off towards his home so he could update the website.

They were almost home when Sam looked down at the seat and let out a startled gasp as Danny's intangible head popped through the floor boards. She loudly coughed twice, so that James wouldn't think anything was wrong.
Danny quickly phased through the car and sat down next to Sam, grateful that James couldn't see behind the black window. Sam just swallowed nervously as Danny blushed and leaned over.
"Tell him you want to go through Nasty Burger's Drive Through and then to the park so you can eat," he whispered softly in her ear.
Sam nodded, cleared her throat and then told James she was hungry and wanted a Tofu sandwich from Nasty Burger.
"Alright miss."
Trying to sound calm, she added "Oh and could you drop me off at the park?'
"Certainly miss."
"Thank you James." She replied, still trying to figure out what Danny was doing. Just the fact that he had came after her was driving her nuts. She looked over at him and he just smiled at her.
After a few minutes, Sam leaned in and whispered "Why are we going to Nasty Burger?"
Danny just smiled at her and replied softly, "Because I'm hungry."
Alright, I had to make another chapter. I didn't want to end it yet. I like playing with Tucker too much. Give me some feedback and tell me how I'm doing. I'm not too proud to bribe! X's & O's
