Chapter Five

Don't Worry, I'll Be There ASAP

Nearly ten or fifteen minutes after departure, Danny finally made it home, cold and a little wet, but just fine. He walked in the house, human now, and closed the door behind him, arms wrapped slightly around himself to keep warm. "Hey, Danny, how was the amusement park?" Jazz, his sister, asked. She was sitting on the couch, the latest psychology book in her hands.

"Fine, Jazz," Danny mumbled, making his way up the stairs. "I'll be in my room." He walked up the remaining steps and went into his room. The posters of NASA stuff and rockets and the like littered the walls, a couple of CDs on his desktop, and his computer switched to stand-by. He kicked the basketball next to his bed and it rolled off towards his computer desk. He sat down on his bed, shivering slightly. He looked around his room, taking in every detail. He sighed and looked out the window, the raindrops streaming down the glass. He hoped Sam was okay in all this rain... He stood and walked over to his dresser to get his pajamas.

The striped, pale-pink, button-up PJ shirt felt warm against his cold skin. He put on the dry PJ pants and began to dry his hair with the towel he'd gotten from the bathroom. He threw the towel onto his bed and walked over to his computer. He set his cellphone next to the keyboard and turned on his computer. He was surprised to see many IMs from Valerie. He barely talked to her anymore except for the occasional hello, but ever since the Gregor/Elliot incident, he'd hardly thought about her anymore. He didn't want to reply to any of them and didn't want to talk to anyone at all. He flipped his computer back off and pushed the keyboard away, putting both arms - slightly crossed - on the desktop. He looked at his cellphone, as if willing it to ring.

"Please," he mumbled very quietly. "Ring, already." He leaned his head on his arms and watched his cellphone. Soon enough, sleep over-took him and he drifted off into the relaxing state or sleep.

Meanwhile, off towards the amusement park, nearly forty minutes had passed. Sam had found cover under a roofed bus bench and was sitting there, cold and a little wet from the rain. She looked up and down the road, arms wrapped around herself, foot tapping impatiently. She looked at her wristwatch and sighed. 8:53 PM. She decided to give her parents twenty more minutes before she called them.

Five minutes. Ten minutes. Fifteen. Twenty. Sam's teeth were chattering when she finally decided enough was enough. She took out her cellphone and punched in the numbers to her house phone. She held her phone up to her ear and listened for it to ring. One ring. Two. Three. Four. "Pick up," she urged. Nothing. She sighed with exasperation and clicked off the phone, flipping it closed. She took one last glance down the road and flipped her phone open again. Punching in a different number.

Danny was fast asleep when the sudden ringing sound of a cellphone woke his up. He bolted into an upright sitting position, shaking his head and rubbing the sleep from his eyes with one hand while the other grabbed his cellphone. He took one glance at the Caller ID and became immediately wide awake. He flipped it open and put it up to his ear. "Hello?"

"Danny," came the slightly weak voice. Danny stood, phone still on his ear.

"Sam," he nearly shouted. His eyes landed on the digital clock on the side table next to his bed. 9:14 PM.

"Danny, can you please come get me? My parents never got here and-" Sam started, but Danny cut her short.

"Don't worry, I'll be there ASAP," Danny said.

"Thanks, Danny," Sam mumbled, the sound in her voice telling Danny she was grateful.

"No problem, bye, Sam," Danny said. Sam said bye and Danny flipped the phone closed.

Danny quickly went ghost, the white rings appearing at his middle, simultaneously running up and down his body, changing his pale pink PJ's into a white and black lab suit, the DP emblem on his chest. His black hair turned white; his blue eyes green. He quickly phased out the building, becoming intangible so the rain couldn't get at him.

He flew in a straight route to the amusement park, glancing around the road for traces of Sam. He caught sight of her sitting on the bench, looking rather miserable. He flew down, calling her name. "Sam!"

Sam looked up at him, smiled slightly. "Danny," she mumbled, words slurring. "Nice to see you. I'm so cold..."

"Don't worry," Danny said, walking up to her. "I'm gonna take you home." Sam sighed and stood, walking to him also, head bowed. She felt as if she weighed a ton, her legs not wanting to keep her up. She was tired, cold, and in serious need of some aspirin. Her head was practically spinning. She nearly stumbled and fell, but Danny kept her up. He set her straight on her feet, scanning her over. His eyebrows furrowed slightly in concern. "Sam, you look awful," he noted. Sam smiled slightly again.

"You look great," she joked. Danny smiled and hugged her. "I should have listened to you," she mumbled into his chest. Danny held her like that for a second longer before slipping his arms around her and picking her up bridal style. Sam cuddle close to him. Danny smiled slightly. He knew that in his ghost form he wasn't too warm whatsoever. He was a ghost after all. "I may not offer much consolation from the cold, but I'm sure that once you get home you can-" Danny started as he floated up into the air, but Sam cut him short.

"No," she mumbled. "Please, don't take me home, take me with you," she said. "My parents probably aren't even there..." Danny looked at her, concerned. He flew on, keeping her as close as possible.

"Why do you say that?" he asked, looking back up.

"They didn't answer when I called," Sam mumbled, closing her eyes slightly. Danny said no more, merely flew on, changing direction from the Manson Mansion, to FentonWorks.
