So, would anyone like to buy a spatula with hand prints burned into it? No? Ok, well on with the ending:( It has to be the end, I'm running out of chapter tittles.

Disclaimer: I do not own Danny Phantom. I am willing to get rid of a certain evil cooking utensil.

Chapter Ten: Demons, and Dream Cars and Da End

Tucker fixated on his two blushing best-friends. "Well?'

Sam and Danny blushed madly, not sure what to say.

YES! Sam screamed in her head, looking at Danny.
I DON'T KNOW! Danny's poor brain cried, totally caught off guard.

"Um..." Danny started to say but was interrupted by Sam.
"You know what Tucker? We hadn't actually gotten to that part yet."

Danny let out a sigh of relief, knowing he had just been spared another foot in mouth moment.
Jazz hit Tucker in the arm. "That would be your fault."

Danny started to agree but was stopped by a blue mist coming from his mouth.

"BEWARE! FOR I AM THE BOX GHOST AND NO MERE BRIBE WILL STOP ME!"

All four teens turned quickly around to see everyone's favorite spook.

Danny groaned and was about to go ghost when the Box Ghost started squealing and pointing at Sam.

"AGH! IT'S THE GOTH-DEMON! RUN, RUN FOR YOUR AFTER LIFE!"

Jazz and Tucker watched as the ghost flew away from them, their mouths gaping open with complete disbelief. They turned back to see Danny laughing his head off at an embarrassed Sam.

"Dude! What. Was. That. About?" Tucker asked, still staring at the red-faced Sam.

"Long story." Sam muttered, elbowing Danny so he would stop laughing at her.

"Ow!" Danny glared at Sam, but was still smiling. "I'll tell you about it later Tuck. It's priceless."

"Oook."Tucker said, his eyebrows arched in confusion.

"Do I usually look like that?" Danny whispered to a still miffed Sam.
"Yes!" Sam whispered back, "You do. A lot."

Jazz smiled at her little brother. "Well I'm going to head on home. Oh, and don't be surprised if there's a huge Hummer in front of the house with the words "FENTON FIGHTER" on it."

"What?"

"Dad picked the right date. Since he won, Mom had to agree to letting him get his dream car." Jazz answered, turning to leave.

"MOM AND DAD WERE IN ON IT?"

"Of course. Wow, you two really were clueless." and with that, Jazz left.

"Hmm, think I'll go catch the Box Ghost before he gets into anymore trouble." Tucker said, trying to make a quick get away.

"Sure Tuck." Sam answered, knowing now would be the time to 'fess up everything. Maybe I should give Danny some Tylenol, she thought, worried about how his brain was going to react.

Danny just waved Tucker away, his head and heart already starting to pound.

Realizing his hand was on Sam's shoulder, he gulped nervously. "Um, you want to go sit on the bench?"

"S.ssure." Sam softly replied, begging her voice to stay calm.

Danny smiled down at her and removed his arm, only to link his hand with Sam's.

The two walked quietly to the park bench and sat down.

Figuring that they, well mainly her, couldn't handle any more interruptions, Sam decided that it was now or never.

"Danny, you're my best friend." Sam said, staring up at the dark haired, blue eyed boy beside her.

"And I don't want to lose that. That time Desiree blanked your and Tucker's memories was awful."

Danny looked into Sam's anxious violet eyes and felt his heart start doing the mambo.
"Sam, I promise, I'll always be here for you. Even if I don't act like it sometimes, I really do need you. My life would never be the same without you, I don't know what I would do without you."

Both teens blushed, but didn't break eye contact.

"Danny,...lately it seems like I can't get enough of you. Sometimes I just want to rip the hairs out of Paulina's and Valerie's heads." Sam admitted, fearing what Danny would say to that, but felt the need to continue.

"They..they don't care about you, th..the way I..I do."

Sam looked down, unable to look into his clear, deep eyes anymore.
"They only want to use you and they don't care about you, like..like I do. They don't know you the way I do. To them, you're a hero and a loser. Or a great guy, but a menace. But your Danny. You risk your life for those who don't even appreciate it. You try so hard to make others happy. You're a great friend, that I've..."

Sam stopped, trying to take a deep breathe so she wouldn't hyperventilate.

"That I've really fallen for. Hard."

Sam tensed up, not quite sure what to expect.
He had kissed her, before Tucker and Jazz showed up. And he had dismissed Paulina.
But, But...still. She wished she were back at the flowery field with the thousands of evil teddy bears.

"Sam." Danny said softly, trying to get her to look up. Knowing it was time to make his head and heart try the quickstep, he reached down with his free, trembling hand and gently cupped her chin.

Sam, startled at the intense warmth flowing from Danny's fingers, finally looked up into Danny's smiling face.

"I know."

CRAP! Danny thought, mentally hitting himself.

"You know?" Sam asked, jerking out of Danny's grasp.
Well, of course you know. NOW! Sam thought, really hoping Danny was going somewhere good with this.

"I mean, you told me, sort of. Remember?" Danny stammered out, really wishing he had practice with this.

"Oh, yea. And you said..."

"No one else is as pretty on the inside and out as you." Danny said, blushing slightly. "And I meant it. I meant what I said to Paulina too. You're pretty, and smart and caring and always there for me...and and I really am clueless sometimes." He finished, finally getting everything.

Sam laughed and replied. "Well, yeah, you are. But that's ok."

Danny shook his head. "No it's not. I'm sorry I've been so oblivious."

Wanting to lighten the mood, Sam gently hit Danny's arm and said "Wow, oblivious. That's a big word for you."

Danny caught Sam's arm and gave her hand a squeeze. "So am I forgiven? Or do I need to beg?"

Sam blushed, and laughed softly. "Beg? Hmm that could be interesting..."

Danny pretended to pout, but Sam just smiled. "Alright. But only if you do two things."

Danny smiled back, and lightly started stroking Sam's hand. "And that would be?"

Blushing, Sam answered "Um, well I really wish I knew where we stand. You know..."

Danny smiled nervously, and answered "Well, we're sitting in the park, I'm holding your hand, and I'm thinking I want to do this a lot now, plus a few other things. I think I'm going to go crazy at space camp, missing you."

Sam smiled, and grabbed Danny's other hand. "Ok. We'll figure out the rest later. And I'm going to miss you too. Maybe I can talk James into driving me down to see you on the weekends. Just don't try to borrow the space shuttle or anything." Sam added, remembering Danny's first visit to the space camp.

"Who, me?" Danny asked, feigning innocence. Seeing that she meant it, Danny chuckled and said "Ok. Ok. I promise, no shuttle joy riding. What's the second thing?"

Sam smiled and stood up quickly, pulling Danny to his feet. "Push me on the swings."

Danny laughed. "Ok. Race you there?"

Sam giggled and replied. "On 3. 1.3" And started running towards the swings.

Danny chuckled and quickly ran after her. "Hey Sam!"

Sam stopped, and turned around.
Danny grabbed her and twirled her around.
Laughing, Danny placed her back on the ground, but still held onto her.

"Cheater!" Sam said, smiling up at him.

Danny grinned and leaned his head down closer to her. "Yea. What are you going to do about it?"

Sam moved her head up slightly. "Just wait and see."

Danny gently pulled her closer to him. "You've got me trembling with fear."

"Good." Sam started to say, but was silenced as Danny's soft lips enveloped hers.

"Would you two get a room already?" Tucker shouted, arriving at THE perfect moment as always.

Danny and Sam ignored him, lost in their own little world.

"Hey, I'm still here!"
