A quick note from the author: The idea for this song came from my bestest reviewer, Samantha-Girl Scout. She reviews almost every single thing I write.
A Moment
Danny couldn't remember how long he'd been trapped in this swirling yellow-green world. How had Valerie gotten so strong, and where had she gotten that weapon that made it impossible for him to escape the Ghost Zone? He flew around aimlessly, green ectoplasm seeping from a few wounds she'd managed to inflict. If his enemies were to attack him right now, he wouldn't have the strength to fight them off. His eyes widened as he saw Skulker, Ember, the Fright Knight, and Spectra headed his way.
He gulped. "I am so dead."
"Where is that boy?" Sam muttered, pacing back and forth.
"He was supposed to meet us here half and hour ago," Tucker said, glancing at his watch.
"Hey, guys," Valerie said, walking up just then. "Why are you two just standing around here?"
"We like it," Sam muttered sarcastically.
"Hey, Val', have you seen any ghosts recently?" Tucker asked.
"Yeah, actually. I finally got the ghost boy and trapped him in the Ghost Zone for good," Valerie replied.
"You did what?" Sam nearly screamed.
look at the red, red changes in the sky
look at the separation in the border line
but don't look at everything here inside
and be afraid, afraid to speak your mind
Danny shot a ray at the Fright Knight then cried out as Skulker got him from behind and Ember from the side. Spectra floated nearby, taunting him and draining him with his misery. He gripped his chest, visibly trembling in agony. He didn't know how long he'd stay in ghost form, but as long as he was, he would fight. He fired another ray at the knight and threw an ectoplasmic strengthened punch at the rock star. Skulker hit him again, throwing him back a few feet, and Spectra laughed at him.
"Silly little freak. You're part ghost and part human, but you can't function as either!"
"Stop it!" Danny yelled, feeling more energy drain from him.
Sam didn't know she could run so fast. Her fear for Danny's life had her adrenalin pumping, and she had almost attacked Valerie. Tucker had stopped her by suggesting she look for Danny. Danny... What would his enemies do to him if they found him?
"Is there any way for the ghost to escape?" Tucker asked.
Valerie shrugged. "The guy who sent it to me included a note that said only one person could break the shield. He didn't say who though."
"Oh, I can think of someone," Tucker said, grinning. If she was still getting her weapons from Vlad, the only person that could break the shield would be Sam since Vlad knew Danny secretly liked her and knew neither of the clueless lovebirds would think of that.
it took a moment before i lost myself in here
it took a moment and i could not be found
again and again and again and again I see your face in everything
it took a moment and the moment could not be found
Danny could barely stifle a cry as Ember, Skulker, and the Fright Knight hit him again with their combined weaponry. "Let me go," he breathed, eyelids nearly closed. They laughed. "Let…me…GO!" Without trying to, he released his most powerful attack.
He looked around him; they were all unconscious. He closed his eyes, his strength ebbing. A blue ring appeared at his middle before splitting and changing him back to his human form. Too weak to change back, he let himself fall through the swirling atmosphere.
Sam was glad Danny's parents weren't home. She didn't know how she'd explain her need to go in the Ghost Zone or why she'd returned with Danny. She only hoped Danny was okay. She grabbed the keys to the Specter Speeder then sped into the Ghost Zone. She didn't even know where to start. Where would Danny be?
"Come on, show yourself," she mumbled. "Where are you, Danny?"
what's with the fascination wit the echelon
what's with the constant questions that you have this time
what's with this circumstantial consequence
find oversight before this night will ever rise again
it's all you've got inside your head, better get up and leave instead
Danny let out a yelp as his bruised and bloodied body dropped onto one of the many floating islands in the Ghost Zone. He struggled to remain conscious, but the little strength he had slipped from his grasp. Darkness overcame him, and hope of ever escaping was lost.
Tucker was waiting for them to return. He didn't know what condition Danny would be in, but if any of his enemies had found him, it wouldn't be pretty. He just hoped he was right that Sam was the only one that could break the shield. If not, well…
Sam slammed on the breaks. A figure was being reported on the radar. Beneath her was one of the many floating islands, and lying on it was… She gasped then brought the speeder down onto the island. She threw the door open and ran to his side. She knelt beside him, brushing his hair from his face.
"Danny," she whispered, her eyes scanning his injuries before returning to his face. "Danny, wake up."

Danny weakly opened his eyes. What was he doing in the Specter Speeder? He groaned, gripping his side tightly. The figure in the front seat ran to his side.
"Danny," she whispered.
"S-sam?" He coughed, rolling onto is side and weakly pushing himself up. "Wh-what are you doing here?"
"Careful," she warned, helping him to his feet and putting his arm around her shoulders. "I came to rescue you," she said as he leaned on her while helping him into the other seat.
"But how are we going to get out of here?" he mumbled weakly, his head falling back as he closed his eyes. "There's a shield…"
"There better not be," Sam muttered, "or I'll kill her."
But Danny didn't hear her as he slipped out of consciousness once more.
Sam floored it as she headed back to the Fenton Portal. She was glad she'd asked her parents for that huge med kit. She could just send Tucker for it and patch him up until his parents got home. They'd have to think of something to explain why he was so beat up.
to find ourselves lost here within we need reasons why
so we take this bridge with the others that will thrive in the great divide
look at the red, red changes in the sky
again and again and again and again i see your face in everything
again and again and again and again i see your face in everything
Tucker grinned as the Specter Speeder came to a halt inside the lab wit both his friends inside. "Knew it would work!"
Sam leapt out and tossed him her keys. "Go to my house and get the med kit from my closet."
"Um…" He looked at the keys then back at Sam who had carefully begun to drag Danny out.
"Go!" she yelled, gently laying their unconscious friend on the floor.
Tucker yelped then ran off. Danny would be safe with her for now.
Sam made Danny as comfortable as possible while she waited for Tucker. His wounds didn't look too bad. She guessed he just needed rest; she looked up as Tucker entered with the kit.
"Is he okay?" Tucker asked, kneeling on the other side of their friend.
"He'll be fine. He'll just need to rest after we patch him up," she mumbled distractedly as she opened the case and started pulling things out.
With Tucker's help, she patched Danny up then carried him up to the couch.
"Now we just wait for him to wake up," she said, stepping away from the halfa after ruffling his hair.
"You like him, don't you?" Tucker yelped as her fist connected with his arm. "Ow!"

Danny woke feeling ten times better, and that was saying a lot. "I'm alive," he groaned, rubbing his eyes.
"Well, half of you is," a teasing voice replied.
He smiled. "Hey, Sam." He looked around him. "How'd you get through the shield?"
She shrugged. "Who cares?" She sat beside him. "Feeling better?"
He nodded, closing his eyes and resting his head in her lap. "Thanks for coming for me."
She smiled, ruffling his hair. "What are friends for?"
