Chapter Twenty-Two

Danny took a Deep breath and spoke, "Harriet, what I'm about to tell you... you can't tell anyone, even my parents, got it?"

Harriet leaned in "Yes?" she said with a mixture of curiousity and annoyance in her voice.

Danny took a deep breath and transformed.

Jack Fenton didn't understand what had just happened. Maddie Fenton Seemed to go rigid at the sight of a Fifteen-year-old girl passing them on the sidewalk.

They had gone to Chicago on a lead that a ghost with a vampire-like appearance had been sighted there. Remembering their College Reunion. Maddie and Jack rushed off to Chicago immediately.

Maddie turned to her husband and whispered, "I saw Danny talking to her a few minutes before Jazz-" Maddie broke off, biting her lip.

Jack Fenton may have been a goof, but he knew better than to say anything. He could only watch in dismay as his wife approached the flustered teenager.

Sam had finally decided that moping about being kicked out of her bookshop again, she would replenish her makeup stock.

All of Sam's makeup was black. The only things that weren't black were a deep purple. Though it would appear easy to obtain this color makeup. Only one store in Town had it.

Sam hated going in because it didn't have just dark makeup, it also had brighter colors like pink or light blue. Many of the girls from school liked to buy the cheeper makeups or simply stare at the more expensive ones.

This is why she wasn't surprised to see Katie and Alana browsing the lip-gloss section of the store. What did surprise her was when Katie turned around to talk to her.

"Look, Sam, I heard what my brother said to you and the news station, and I want to apologize. Jake has been so different lately. I don't know what's gotten into him." She narrowed her eyes for a second. "Just out of curiousity, do you dye your hair black."

"No," Sam answered simply trying to figure out why one of the most popular girls was actually talking to her.

Katie sighed, "Good, I'm glad you like your natural hair color, unlike some people," she glanced distatefully at Alana, who glanced up at Katie with an unreadable expression on her face.

"Anyway Sam, I've been meaning to ask you. You are rude to Dash right?"

Sam hesitated before answering. Katie was Dash's girlfriend, maybe she would make something out of it? "Uhhh... Yes?"

Katie grabbed her collar, "Can you teach me? That kid is as dumb as a sack of potatoes. You know why he wasn't at school last week. He couldn't figure out how to write the response to reading "Ninja Bunnies and the Big Carrot!" His mother found out Mikey was doing his homework, and he had to take a day off to write a one-paragraph response to a Children's Book" Katie let go and started sobbing. Sam was at a loss for words.

Alana patted her should are muttered something to her under her breath. Katie seemed to sobb more. Leaving Sam staring open mouth at them, Alana let a weeping Katie out of the store.
