A/N: Hi everyone! Sorry that this chapter's late. It also kinda sucks. But don't worry, the good part will be here soon! (in fact, next chapter!) But I have three major projects going on at school, so I might update kinda slow. But after school's out, I'll update way more often!

BTW, for any Teen Titans fans out there, I've posted a TT one-shot songfic called "Wish For You".

This chapter is dedicated to darkflame1516, who faithfully reviewed each and every chapter. I also thanks those of you who may have done the same!

Enjoy the chappie! And remember, the last we saw of Danny, his ghost sense had gone off.

Danny's eyes, now a brilliant green, darted around the seemingly empty park, looking for a ghost. Not seeing anything, the halfa took off into the now-dark sky, searching the area again, but from a bird's eye view. Still finding nothing, Danny began to fly away cautiously, still keeping an eye out for anything out of the norm. Then, he heard an annoyingly familiar voice:

"I am the Box Ghost! BEWARE!"

Danny sighed loudly and turned around to face the most annoying ghost he'd ever fought. "Let's get this over with fast so I can go home…" He drew his hand back, preparing to launch a beam of ectoplasm at the ghost in overalls.

All of a sudden, a rocket shot right past the left side of Danny's head, coming so close that he could feel the heat radiating off it.It hit the Box Ghost, sending him flying until he was no longer visible. Danny floated there, slightly surprised. Then, his ghost sense went off again, and he immediately swiveled around to face…

"Skulker!"

"That's right, whelp," the heavily armored ghost replied fiercely. "And this time, I promise that you'll end up as a wall decoration."

"Alright… are you promising this to me or to yourself?" Danny said insultingly, smirking at the look on Skulker's face.

The armored ghost didn't reply. Instead, he shot a rocket at Danny, who was hit and pushed over a hundred feet away from Skulker. Danny flew back towards him, only to be shot with a different rocket of some sort. This rammed him into a nearby building, making a rather loud noise.

"GHOSTS!" yelled two familiar voices in the near distance. Danny groaned.

"Great. My parents will be here in about five seconds."

Five seconds later…

"Get ready to eat ectoplasm, you fiendish spirits!" Maddie exclaimed, leaning out the window of the GAV with a large gun.

Skulker shot a glare at Danny that plainly read, "I'll be back", and flew away hurriedly. The halfa did the same, flying all the way to the roof of his ownhouse, and changing to human form, hoping he could remain undetected.

"Aww... We didn't catch any ghosts..." Jack said dejectedly.

"Don't worry, sweetie. One day, we'll get to tear those ghosts limb from limb," Maddie comforted him as they drove back to FentonWorks.

Back at the Fenton residence,Danny's ghost sense went off for the third time that night. Danny turned to see the Box Ghost again. He sighed and was about to change back to ghost form when the Box Ghost spoke.

"Wait, halfa! I do not wish to fight yet! I have a message for you!"

"Well, I don't want to hear it!" Danny exclaimed cantankerously. He went ghost and grabbed the Fenton Thermos from behind him, not noticing when the Box Ghost took a piece of paper from his overall pocket. Danny sucked the annoying ghost into the thermos and phased into his room as the note floated slowly to the street below…

A/N: The different-looking fonts below are each a different voice in Sam's head.

Sam couldn't sleep that night. She tossed, turned, and even fell off the bed, but she couldn't sleep. All she could think about was the "talk" she'd had with him. He just had to go and bring up Valerie. His words still sounded over and over in her head:

I just… liked her a lot, and I wanted to show her that…

Every time Sam heard it, she was painfully reminded that Danny liked someone else, not her. It was complete and utter torture. Just thinking about it made her eyes well up with tears.

A lot of people would say this was a normal, hormone-driven crush, how she liked Danny. But it was different, and she knew that. Danny was the guy who made her laugh; the guy who was there for her no matter what; the guy who made the stupidest mistakes, but it was always comical. And then there was the fact that, even though Sam was rich enough to swim in a pool of money, the only thing she really wanted… was Danny.

And then, earlier that night, Danny went and broke her heart. Again. Worst of all, he didn't even know it. Sure, sometimes his cluelessness was funny, or even – dare she say it? – cute. But now… Now he'd gone too far. Way too far.

Sam didn't know how she was going to deal with this. She loved him, she truly did, but he liked someone else. And he thought he had it bad. While he was pining over Valerie, who he had little chance with, Sam was right there beside him.

Just tell him how you really feel, said a little voice in the back of her head.

I've been through this already, Sam replied, unaware that she was arguing with herself. If I say that I love him, then he doesn't feel the same way, we'll never be able to look each other in the eye again…

As the tears poured from her eyes, the torn girl laid her head on her pillow and attempted to sleep again. For hours, her subconscious was a battlefield.

Just tell him!

No, don't! Just keep it to yourself; you can admire him from afar.

I say act helpless and make him fall in love with you. Then, you don't have to worry about rejection

That goes against your individuality! Are you nuts, woman?

TELL HIM!

NO!

No way!

…Maybe…

If you tell him, and he likes you too, then you'll be happy. If you tell him, and he doesn't like you, you can move on. You could even just hang around to wait till he comes around.

But… How are you supposed to move on… without Danny?

…Ya know what? I'm starting to like the first girl's plan…

Maybe you should just tell him. Then, he won't break your heartover and overagain. If he doesn't like you, then that's just one more heartbreak you'll have to live through…

Exactly.

WHAT? Why are you all agreeing with her? This is wrong, I tell you! WRONG!

Tell him! Tell him! Tell him!

And so, Sam considered the arguments of all these odd voices. While she still felt miserable, she also saw a glimmer of hope: maybe there was a way to solve this problem...

But would Danny ever forgive her for yelling at him like she had? Sure, she had forgiven him… Sort of… Okay, so she kinda hadn't meant it.

Well, Sam thought, I guess if I want to say anything at all to him, I'm gonna have to apologize first…

With that, she finally fell into a fitful sleep, still debating what exactly she was going to tell him…

And so ended a very eventful day. Danny was annoyed and slightly confused, Sam was heartbroken yet hopeful, Tucker was perplexed and a little angry, and Valerie was… determined. Oh yeah, and Mr. Lancer was just suspicious. Nothing more, nothing less.

A piece of paper was left lying on the street, a ring tossed carelessly on the floor, a PDA manual completely forgotten about, a laptop accidentally left on, and…well, I won't say what there was at Lancer's place.

As Danny, Sam, Tucker, and Mr. Lancer slept, giant, dark storm clouds moved in over Amity Park. They were almost like a portentous sign of the events to come in the near future…

A/N: This chapter wasn't very good, was it? Please tell me what you honestly think. I guess this one was partly filler. But the next couple chapters are gonna be wicked intense.

Thanks to all my reviewers! Review moreplease!
