(A/N: I hope everyone is well. Well I just lowered the rating because I think it was a little high, at least for now. Nothing much else to saw right now.)

Disclaimer: Sadly, I do not own Danny Phantom, so sad.

Runaway Cruise

Chapter 7: The ghost is out

Sam starred at her dad, What The Hell is he doing here! He can't know I'm here, he can't. Sam pushed back into Danny.

"Come lets go, ok Sam?" Danny put his hands on her shoulders and steered Sam out of the room. She was still pale when they walked back into their room. She sat don on here bed and put her head in her hands.

"I can't believe he's here, he can't be." Danny sat down next to her.

"Sam, I won't let him hurt you, your safe I promise." Danny pulled her so she was resting against him.

"Danny, I'm sorry, I didn't tell you the whole truth before. I ran away from home. My parents think I was kidnapped. I called them and told them I was fine and I just need to get away for a while, but then you showed up and said the ship was leaving, I think they heard your name and they probably think you kidnapped me." Danny let go of her.

"Sam…" Sam looked into his face, Dannys face looked lost and confused. Sam turned away she couldn't stand it. Danny hates me now Sam started crying.

Danny wrapped his arms around Sam from behind and whipped away her tears, "Sam, I don't care. I love you and I'm not going to just leave. I'm not going to let anyone hurt you I always be here no matter what."

Sam turned her head, "I love you too Danny." She kissed him on the cheek. They stayed like that for a while before Danny's stomach growled. "Some one sounds hungry, guess it's my fault that we missed dinner."

"Doesn't matter, let's order some pizza." Ten minutes latter they were eating a large pizza. The rest of the night went by with them just hanging out. They finally fell asleep sometime around ten, Danny was woken just before one by a soft noise. He looked up and saw Sam was still asleep but she was crying. She had kicked the covers off and was now curled up into a ball.

Danny got up and moved over to Sams bed, he put his arms around her trying not to wake her. Then he realized she was already awake but still crying. "Sam, what's wrong?"

"I had a nightmare, just a nightmare. That was all" She was trying to convenes herself more then Danny.

"It's alright, nightmares can't hurt you."

" It felt so real though, Danny Phantom and a bunch of ghost were chasing me. Then my dad showed up and, and" Danny held Sam as she cried, her words hurt Danny.

"Danny Phantom isn't a bad ghost, he wouldn't do that."

"If you say so, I trust my Danny more then him." Sam rolled over so she was facing Danny, "Uh Danny? Can I ask you a favor?"

"Anything"

"Can you sleep with me tonight?"

Sleep with her? I hope she doesn't mean like THAT. "Ok, I'll stay right here with you." Sam smiled and closed her eyes. Sam fell right to sleep but Danny stayed awake for nearly an hour holding her, I'll make sure that never happens.

Marry lay on her bed sound asleep, Tucker had fallen asleep on the floor and she didn't have the heart to wake him. After they had left Dannys and Sams room they had gone to hers, she had picked up her new key earlier. They had just spent the night together, hanging out and making out.

Inspector Manger sat on a hard wooden bench waiting for the ship, the sun was just rising as he saw the ship. It came slowly in to dock, Manger wasn't happy because he had to wait for the entertainment to get on the ship first. "This is going to take forever, those cerates are as big as train cars!"

Manger waited around for a few hours, no one got off the ship thought so at least that was good. Finally he was allowed to bored, the first thing he did was go to the front desk. "Hello, I'm looking for my friend Danny, I believe he is with a girl named Samantha?"

"Oh yes I remember them. Such a cute couple, room 372."

"Thank you." Manger went to the room and knocked. No one answered, he took out a credit card out of his pocket and opened the door. No one was inside. "Shit!"

Danny was awake just after sunrise but didn't want to wake Sam. She seemed so content sleeping in his arms. She opened an eye half way, "Hey Danny"

"Hey you" Yea corny but Danny hadn't gotten much sleep. He kissed her lightly on the forehead. "Want to get something to eat?"

"In a minute." She kissed him on the lips. "I think I like it here better for now." They lightly kissed each other for a few more minutes before Sams stomach made an angry protest to not being feed. "Maybe we should get something to eat."

"Ok, how about you?" Danny nibbled on Sams ear.

"Danny! Stop that!" Sam said laughing, she finally got him to stop by pinning him under a pillow. Sam held the pillow over Danny as he tried to tickle her, then he suddenly stopped. "Danny?"

Sam moved the pillow, Danny's head shot up and kissed her, "Got you."

"Ok, you got me. Now can we please get something to eat?" Sam held her stomach and pouted.

"Alright, but maybe we should change first?" They changed, Sam in the bathroom and Danny in the bedroom. Then they walked out to see what on the ship was open for breakfast. As soon as they had turned the corner Manger walked to their room from the other direction.

Danny and Sam found a small booth open and serving pancakes. "Sam, I've never seen anyone eat that much."

"I was hungry, and it wasn't that much."

"Yes it was, you ate twelve. Even the guy that worked there couldn't believe it. How is it you can eat so much and be so skinny?" Danny pocked Sams hip to make his point.

"I don't know, I just can. What's that?" Sam pointed to a staircase that slowly wound its way up the side of the ship. In front of it was a sign that said Come see the greatest view on the ship!

Danny looked at it skeptically, "How good of a view can it be?"

"Why don't we find out?" Sam walked up the stairs followed by Danny. The stairs went up four floors to the very top of the ship and a little lookout platform overlooking the front of the ship. "Wow"

Danny had to admit the view was pretty nice even if the ship wasn't moving right now. "This is a pretty good view."

"Yes it is" Said someone from behind them. They turned and there was Sams dad. "Hello Samantha, I wasn't expecting to see you here." He walk past them so he was at the front of the lookout then turned to face them with the morning sky as a back drop. "So who is your friend? A nice one night stand?"

Danny was really mad at this guy now, but before he could say anything Sam stepped forward. "No, this is Danny, my boyfriend. So shut the hell up!"

"Why you little whore! How dare you talk to me like that!" He took a step forward.

Danny stepped in front of Sam to protect her from her father. "How dare you talk to Sam like that! You have no right after you hit her!"

"Oh that's rich, he trying to defend you! Sam, the only reason you a guy does anything is to get something from you." He had smile on his face as he said this.

"Don't talk about Danny like that! He would never do something like that! He's not like you!" Sam was shouting at him.

"How dare you!" He threw a punch at Sam, Danny pushed Sam out of the way but took the punch square in the jaw. The force threw him back and he hit the railing of the stairs, then over, fifty feet to the hard floor below.

Sam could believe Danny had just gone over the railing, this couldn't be happening.

"Sam I'm shocked! You runaway from home and now you've pushed your boyfriend over the edge of the stairs! I never would have thought my little girl could do that" He walked down a side set of stairs whistling a tone.

Danny felt the ground slip out from under him, he plummeted towards the ground. He went ghost to fly to safety but hit his head on the railing of the third floor. He slammed hard into the ground.

Sam ran down the stairs hoping against hope that Danny was still alive, she froze at the bottom. Lying on the floor was Danny, Danny Phantom. A ring of light appeared around him and as it moved he changed before Sams eyes into Danny Fenton.

He sat slowly up holding his head, then he saw Sam. "Sam?"

"Danny? Your Danny Phantom?" She took a step away from him.

"Sam, I can explain!" He stood on shaking legs.

"I can't believe it, you're a ghost!"

"Half a ghost actually." Danny said trying to put on a smile.

"How could you not tell me this." Sam was backed up against the wall.

"What would you have done if I told you?"

"I, I don't know. This can't be happing" Sam ran down the hall. Danny followed, running, he didn't want to fly and freak her out anymore then she already was. This was not how he had wanted her to find out.

Danny followed Sam to their room, she had closed the door but it wasn't locked. Danny stepped inside, Sam was on her bed. "What do you want." She asked him, fear in her eyes.

"Just to talk." Danny had walked over to his bed.

"I've seen the news, I know what you've done." Sam voice was shaking.

"Please let me explain" Danny took a step forward and Sam moved as far from him as she could.

"Please, leave."

"Do you really think I would do those things?"

"I don't know."

"Fine!" Dannys anger had gotten the best of him He shoved all of his things into his bag. He walked out of the room slamming the door. He walked straight off the ship and down the street. He didn't know where he was going and he didn't care, he didn't even know where he was but none of that mattered.

Marry and Tucker walked to Danny and Sams room. The door was open, when they walked in Sam was crying on her bed. "Sam! What's wrong?" Marry put her arm around her friend.

"Danny, he, he is. Danny is that ghost who kidnapped the mayor and that's always on the news."

"What! Are you sure?"

"Yes."

Tucker interrupted them, "Where is Danny now?"

"I don't know, he left. Wait, you knew didn't you?"

"Yea, you guys can't tell anyone, it would ruin his life."

Marrys face paled, "Tucker, how could you not tell us?"

"I" He stopped, her face made it clear she wanted him to leave, Marry was afraid of him. He turned and left, This is not my day.

Marry and Sam sat in silence for a while before Marry asked, "Are you going to tell people who Danny is?"

"I don't know, I was so mad at him for not telling and a little afraid that I never let him explain." Sam had stopped crying, "You should go talk to Tucker, you two shouldn't break up because of me and Danny."

Marry smiled, "I guess, I didn't give him much of a chance to talk either." Marry stood up and walked out to find Tucker.

Sam sat on her bed, she really did love Danny but he was a ghost. He had done so many things, he was the most wanted ghost on the planet. Of course she had done some bad things too, the police were probably after him because of her. And if he hadn't been a ghost already he would be dead thanks to her, she hadn't been able to stop her father again.

I should talk to Danny, but he has probably left the ship already. I could try to find him, even if he is a ghost he promised he would never let anything hurt me. I have to find him. Sam got up, she wasn't going to admit it to herself but she was scared of Danny.

Sam grabbed her cell phone and turned to leave, coming face to face with her father. "Hello Sam"

"What the hell do you want."

"Do you have any idea how much trouble you've caused? I'm going to have to be the good father and punish you." He punched Sam square in the jaw. She slumped to the floor unconscious.

Danny walked down the street, his feet splashed the puddles that had formed after a light rain earlier that day. As he walked he heard his name and turned to face the speaker, it was a TV in a store window.

"…the police have no other leads at this time except the name Danny. However for unknown reasons they believe this to be the same Danny that has gone missing in the same city as Samantha Manson. He disappeared the same night as Samantha and we are unable to reach his parents, his eldest sister was also unavailable. His parents are professional ghost hunters.

"Great, now they think I kidnapped Sam., I wonder how much more of my life is ruined now. She'll probably tell everyone I'm Danny Phantom, yea, that's what'll happen next." I must have been crazy to fall for her. Danny flew on to the top of a roof and sat watching the city in his human form. He could see the docks and the Spectra pulling away from it. "Good bye Sam"

Sam opened her eyes, she wasn't in her and Dannys room any longer. It was bigger with only a single bed. Sam tried to move but her hands were tied behind her head to a bedpost, her feet were free but what stood out most was her swollen jaw. "Awake are you?"

"Let me go" Sam said with venom in her voice as her dad walked over to the bed.

"I don't think so, you need to learn your lesson for this." He smiled, 'And I'll love to teach it to you." Sam spit a little blood that had gathered in her mouth from her jaw at him. It hit his cheek, he reached up and whipped it off. "I'm going to enjoy this, it should have been done long ago."

Sam cringed as he picked up a suitcase and took out a thin metal rod, she knew it was really hard and stung like hell. No, I won't give him the satisfaction of see me afraid. I wish Danny was here, he promised he wouldn't let him hurt me so where is he now? Duh, I told him to leave, I dug my own grave this time and I can't climb out by myself.

Sams dad held up the rod, he smiled and brought it down hard on Sams stomach. She screwed her eyes closed and held in a yell, once she finally managed to cope with the pain she cracked her eyes open. He stood there smiling, he held the rod up again. Sam prepared for the next hit, quietly and to herself she said one word, "Danny."
