Runaway Cruise
Chapter 11: Docking
"What is an iceberg doing here!" Sam said in disbelief.
"Klemper." Danny muttered.
"Who?"
"Klemper, he's a ghost that wants friends. But he's always causing trouble."
Sam looked and saw a figure in striped pajamas floating near the tip of the iceberg. "So what do we do?"
"Get around me" Everyone moved blocking Danny from the view of anyone else on board. He switched into ghost mode and ghosted down a deck before flying at Klemper.
"So um, what do we do now?" Tucker asked.
Jazz walked towards the control car, "We try and turn the ship."
Danny flew to the iceberg and stopped in front of Klemper. "What are you doing!"
"Klemper is making friends! Like in movie!"
"What movie?" Danny asked glancing back at the ship to see how close it was.
"The movie with the ship."
Well that narrows it down. "So you're going to sink the ship?"
"Yes, just like my friend freak show said to! He say I gets lots of friends!"
"Wait freak show told you to do this?"
"Of course I told him to do it. I don't need powers to control Klemper." Freak show said standing at the top of the iceberg.
"What but, I thought I got rid of you"
"No Danny you did not, your not as good as I thought."
"I don't know how you did this so fast but I'm not letting you sink the ship."
"I am tired of your lip." He raised his hand, "Destroy this freak Klemper, he doesn't want you to have friends"
"No mean ghost boy keeps Klemper from new friends!" He took a deep breath and blew a freezing wind at Danny who flew out of the way but still ended up with his foot frozen.
"Man that's cold." Danny dodged another blast of ice from Klemper which wasn't easy with a frozen foot. Danny saw Freak show rowing away in a small boat but didn't have time to stop him because Klemper had already slammed him back towards the iceberg. He slammed into it and Klemper froze his legs and waist.
"Now I gets friends, lots of friends!"
Danny saw the ship changing direction but not fast enough, there was only one way to clear Klemper and the iceberg before the ship got here and he really didn't like it. Danny had only used it once but the ghostly wail was the only way to keep the ship from hitting the iceberg. He opened his mouth and let it flow from him, Klemper was blown away and the ice cracked all around him.
The last thing Danny felt was hitting the water and a layer of powered ice falling on him. He knew he had returned to his human form because everything suddenly got so much colder. Then darker, then nothing.
Sam Jazz Tucker and Marry stood next to the caption as he pulled hard on the wheel, the ship leaned to the side but they weren't going to make. Then the ice shattered as a strange sound echoed from the iceberg. All of the equipment flickered for a moment before returning to normal.
They ran to the deck, most of the passengers had come out to watch the ice float by. The caption took the ship close and cut the engines so the ship would stay near the ice letting the people take plenty of pictures. No one noticed the boy floating near the ship or the girl in black who climbed down an access ladder to and scooped him out of the water.
Sam somehow managed to drag Danny up the ladder and lay him on the deck. Everyone was on the other side of the ship looking at the ice luckily. Jazz bent over him, "He's still breathing but he's so cold."
Tucker looked around nervously, "Yea, but he's half ghost so isn't he supposed to be colder then normal people?"
"Not this cold, we need to get him back to his room and warm him up." She put on of his arms over her shoulder and hoisted him up. Sam took his other arm and they carried him to his bed setting him down gently. They had Tucker take off Dannys wet clothes and put on dry ones even though he said Sam should have done it. They got all the covers they could find and threw them on him. "Well there isn't anything else we can do for him now."
Sam set down on the bed next to Danny, he looked paler then normal and was shivering. "Why don't you three go get so rest, I'll watch Danny."
"Alright" Jazz Tucker and Marry left. Jazz headed to her room and Tucker and Marry walked the other way.
"Marry? Um, mind if I sleep in your room tonight?" Tucker didn't want to admit he was worried about her, and Danny.
"Sure, I was going to ask if you would anyways." They walked to her room and stepped inside. Tucker slept on the floor next to her bed, before they had fallen asleep Marry and put her hand over the side of the bed and Tucker had intertwined his fingers with hers.
Sam sat next to Danny, he was still way to cold but she couldn't think of anything else to do to help him and it scared her. After everything she had seen him do it didn't seem possible for him to be lying there like that. He room grew colder and Sam got up to check and make sure the heat was on.
There was a rumbling noise and then a ghost on a motorcycle appeared in front of her, Johnny 13. Sam took a step back, "What do you want? If you're here to hurt Danny I won't let you."
"And what could you do? If I wanted to I could overshadow you and kill him with your own hands" He smirked at this idea.
"I don't care, your not hurting Danny." Sam took a step towards him.
"Lucky for you I'm not here to hurt him, when he wakes up tell him this, we're being used" He revved his bike and took off before Sam could ask him any questions. Once he was gone the room warmed up a little but not enough.
Somewhere around tow in the morning Sam thought up one other way she could help Danny, pulling back the cover she got in next to him and wrapped herself around his body. It felt like hugging an ice statue. She wasn't sure how long she lay next to him before she fell asleep but she could swear just before her eyes closed that she felt his heart beat strengthen a little.
When Sam woke up morning light was flooding the room. She looked at Danny, he was still cold and pale but he looked a lot better. "Danny? Can you hear me? Please, just be alright. I've done all I can."
"Maybe it would work better with your cloths off" he mumbled.
"Danny!" Now do I kiss him for joy or punch him for that comment? She did both, kissing him then hitting his arm.
"Ow"
"That's what you get for worrying me and that cloths comment."
"Yea, I guess I deserved that." Danny said sitting up and yawning.
"So feeling better?" Sam asked scooting closer to him.
"Yea, still feel half dead but that's normal. That ghostly wail really takes it out of me, I'll have to remember not to get carried away with it."
"You really worried us."
"Sam, I'm sorry" He put an arm over her.
"When we get to the next port I'm going to catch a bus back to Amity Park. I need to talk to my mom and sort some things out."
"You are?"
"Yea, I need to get things cleared up. Then try and find a place to stay, but I can worry about that later."
"Ok, I'll come back with you. And you can stay with me and Jazz if you want."
"Thanks."
Later when Tucker and Jazz came in they were overjoyed to see Danny sitting up reading a book. Given they both pointed out that he must still be sick if he was actually reading a book.
Sam told them her plan and that Danny was coming with her, they agreed to come too. Tucker called Marry and she said she'd come too, she was at the pool and Tucker had been planning to join her but she said he needed to pack his thing and that if he did she might invite him over to her house for a private swim.
Three hours later the five of them stepped off the ship and while Jazz Tucker and Danny went to get bus tickets back to Amity Park Marry pulled Sam aside. "Well it looks like I was right."
"About what?"
"I said Danny was hot and you'd fall for him which you have and that you could always stay at his place when the cruise was over and you are."
"Yea I guess you were right." Sam tried to hide a smile when she thought about the first night she had meet Danny and saw him stepping out of the shower. Since I'll be staying with him maybe I can see that again.
They had a slight wait for the bus so they went and got lunch at a fast food place, Sam and Marry sat in aw as Tucker ate ten burgers, even Danny was impressed and slightly creeped out.
As they were leaving the burger place they ran into Kristen. "Hello Sam" She said glancing at Danny. "Heading home?"
"Yes, we are actually"
"We?"
"Me Danny Tucker Marry and Jazz."
"Oh." She kept looking at Danny half expecting him to hit Sam.
"So how's Brittany?" Sam asked noticing the way she was looking at Danny.
"Everything has been taken care of so no need to worry about her. May I speak with you two in private for a moment?" She said taking Sam and Marry by the arm. "Are they holding you against your will?'
Marry looked at Kristen like she was crazy, which Sam thought she was. "No, for the final time."
"Marry was it? Have they hurt you in any way?"
"No! Tucker would never hurt me"
"Alright, but you have my card if anything happens."
Danny watched Sam and Marry while Kristen was talking to them, "She is getting really annoying."
A few minutes later Sam and Marry came back and they walked towards the bus station. About a block away Danny stopped, "If your going to follow us then at least stop hiding in door ways, that's just embarrassing"
Kristen stepped out of a doorway a few shops down, "I wasn't following you, I happen to be heading to Amity park as well."
Jazz stepped forward, "Really? Then we could sit together and chat."
Kristen perked up no doubt thinking Jazz want to spill on Danny.
Danny sat next to Sam near the middle of the bus while Tucker and Marry sat just behind them in the other row. Jazz tried to steer Kristen to seats in the front but she walked to the back so she could watch Danny and Tucker. Jazz sat down next to her, "You seem very interested in my little brother."
"Dannys your brother?"
"Yes, he is and I would appreciate it if you would leave him and Sam alone."
"I can't do that, I don't believe he is mental stable, the story he told us matched Sams but there were holes in it and just plan stupid at parts."
"Regardless of what you think, Danny is a good kid, and he would never hurt Sam. They love each other."
"Poor dear, he even has you convinced? I wish there was something I could do to help but until I have proof"
"You'll never get proof because they haven't done anything wrong." The rest of the ride was very quiet for them.
Sam and Danny didn't say much, she spent most of the ride thinking about what her mother was going to say when she got back. Danny didn't want to bother her but for the ride home he kept her hand in his. As night fell Sam drifted off to sleep against Dannys shoulder, when he looked around he saw Marry and Tucker leaning against each other eyes closed each with a tiny smile. He also saw Kristen watching them and an annoyed looked Jazz.
When the bus arrived in Amity Park it was just after midnight. They all walked into the bus station followed by Kristen. They waited till she had passed before anyone said anything. "So what's the plan?" Tucker asked?
"I'm going to go talk to my mom." Sam answered.
"And I'm going with her" Danny added.
"You don't have to Danny, I'll be fine."
"But I want to, Jazz can go home and tell our parents what happened so they won't freak out when I get home. Tucker can take Marry home."
"Alright."
Sam and Danny took a taxi to her house. They walked to the front door and Sam opened it with her key, as soon as they stepped in they heard feet running from somewhere upstairs. Danny looked around at the size of Sams house, it was big, almost huge.
A woman with red hair that looked like she belonged on an old fifties show about that happy family done the street rushed down the stairs and wrapped Sam in a hug, "Oh Sammy! Your home, I was so so worried!" She started to cry still holding Sam.
"Mom, its ok I'm fine." Her voice was strong but Danny could see her eyes misting slightly. She took a step away from her mother, "Mom, this is Danny"
"Danny! He's the boy who kidnapped you! Get away from my daughter you monster!" She picked up the phone and was dialing 911 when Sam pulled the cord out.
"He didn't kidnap me mom, I ran away and I'd be in a lot of trouble if it wasn't for Danny."
Mrs. Manson sat at the kitchen table listing to Sam tell what had happened but she kept eyeing Danny, not fully sure weather or not to trust him. When Sam finished talking her mother let out a sigh "Alright, I suppose I owe you young man for watching after my little Sammy."
When Sam told her she was going to spend the night at Dannys she nearly called the police but finally Sam convinced her, though she said if he tried anything she'd remove his reason for wearing pants.
Sam took a few fresh clothes with her as she and Danny went to his house, since it was so late he flew them setting down a block from his house so they could walk the last little ways. When they opened the door they were both caught in a bear hug by Jack Fenton, Dannys dad. Anyone who had ever seen Jack knew he was about the size of a bear so when he gave a bear hug you felt it. "Danny!" his mother said when Jack set them down.
It took nearly an hour to explain things to them, even though Jazz had already done it once. Given they did leave out a few parts but his parents seemed to believe them. They said it was alright for Sam to use the guest room for the night. Danny lost his motorcycle for a week but Jazz took most of the heat saying it had really been his idea and she hadn't told them so he could have a little rest.
Sam lay on the bed in the Fentons guest room, "Hello Danny"
Danny became visible next to her bed, "How'd you know I was there?"
"I just did" Sam hadn't even bothered to open her eyes, she was to tired.
"Fine, just wanted to make sure you were safe."
"I can take care of myself you know." Secretly Sam was really happy he had bothered to check.
"I know, but that doesn't mean I couldn't try and help" He brushed his lips against hers, "Good night"
"Good night ghost boy"
Off in the ghost zone a shadowy figure sat and slammed his fist onto his keyboard. "Cures that child, they ruined it all. They were supposed to crack, crumble and fall!"
He waved his hand and the keyboard disappeared. "I'll have to finish this by my own hand. Perhaps I will have better luck on dry land." With that he disappeared to set his new ideas into motion.
(A/N: Alright, well that's the end of Runaway Cruise, how was it? Anyone want a sequel? If so tell me and I keep writing. I already have the next part planed out, the Dry Dock story arch. If you guys do want me to keep going then the next chapter would start the next day with Sams father coming back her moving out and Brittany showing up in trouble. Also you will find out who the ghost is that planed most of this out and cause a lot of the trouble, any guesses? Oh and I'm kind of lazy so I'll probably just keep this story going with the Dry Dock chapters.)
