We love you no matter what you think.
It was a calm Saturday morning. Danny had invited
his friends over for a Ghost free day. Sam had been
busy with her parents and this rich gala thing so she couldn't come. Tucker was free though and made sure of that as he walked up to the Fenton doorstep and was let in by Maddie. He ran up the stairs making sure to not to trip up as Danny sat on the bed swinging his legs waiting for his friends.
Tucker walked in as he waved, " Sup dude. ", smiling wide. Danny immediately sat up, " Hey Tucker ! So Sam is not coming ? " he lifted his phone making sure with Tucker if that was true.
Tucker let out an offended gasp as he threw his hand over his face, " Am I not enough for you my dude ? ".
Danny laughed as he stood up, " You are dramatic
today. Now guess what I've got extra money so I
decided we are eating take out."
Tucker cheered as he smiled " Yes ! All meat pizza !
All meat pizza ! " he chanted as he pumped up his
fist. Danny laughed as he let his rings fly over him
floating off the carpet. He held up the money " It
might take some time for me to get it so don't mess
up my room. " he said as he picked up his jacket. He
just wore it so he wouldn't lose his money by
dropping it because his Phantom suit didn't have
pockets sadly.
Danny flew out of the room leaving Tucker in the room alone. Tucker just when on with life since this
wasn't the first time he was alone in Danny room. He walked over to the t.v. turning it on along with
Danny's PlayStation. Honestly he was amazed it
wasn't broken yet by a ghost fight but it did have a
little ghost shield because of Jack getting sick of evil
ghosts breaking in.
As Tucker turned it on he noticed it didn't have a game in it. He sighed loudly as he looked around "Danny are you kidding me ? " he asked himself as he walked to the dresser. He had to start keeping his games in his dresser after his book shelf was destroyed. As he open the dresser hoping he didn't open the wrong one it fell out. Tucker cursed loudly as it fell on his foot. He quickly pulled his foot away falling back holding his foot " Dang it ! " he sighed.
He would have to fix this before Danny got back with the pizza. As he looked over the dresser he noticed something that had been hidden under the dresser pull out. A paper that was folded up it was dusty from being there for so long.
Tucker paused for a minute as he sat up staring at
the note. Danny was known to hide notes he had
gotten from other people. Notes from Dash that
where just filled with slurs, his parents notes from
his lunchbox as a child, Notes from him and Sam. He would sometimes keep them and hide them to where they would be safe. But he usually would
never put them in a place like that usually just in a
book folded up. So Tucker thought it was odd as he
reached out and picked it up.
His thoughts wonder about the note. What was it ? 0 he bets its a note for Sam ! A playful smirk appear on his face as he lean back ready to read the note and embarrass Danny. Because that's what friends do. As he unfolded the note he caught it was Danny
handwriting. He looked at the date as he paused.
This was the day of the portal accident. Weird.
That day was a hard day for them. It was a Saturday just like this one. Danny was downstairs cleaning it up as they where upstairs no one else was there. They hadn't really told Danny they where coming since they wanted to surprise him with a horror movie marathon. As he brought in the movies and put them on the table that's when they heard it.
He knew he would never be able to forget Danny
painful screams. Sam rushing down there screaming Danny's name as he had to hold her back from running head first into a open portal. That when Danny clawed himself out of the swirling green with a new look. Honestly none of them knew if Danny was gonna make it that night in the hospital.
He had never seen Danny's Dad that depressed. Jazz was stressing out and was close to snapping at anyone that looked at her off. Maddie
was deadly quiet. They had stay in that hospital
overnight. His own parents had come to stay as well
with him and Danny.
About a week Danny heal up and told them what
happened. He was trying to fix the portal when it
have him a shock. Of course he and the others made sure not to tell them Danny was in the portal. They knew Danny's parents hunted ghosts and they
honestly didn't know what Danny was at that time
so they swore it was better for them not to know
everything
But this date was worrying him. This note had to be
before Danny accident but why would he write a
note. He shook away those thoughts as he smiled a
nervous smile 'its probably nothing... Yea.' He moved to close the note but his body wouldn't
listen to his thoughts as he sighed. It wouldn't hurt if he took one look ?
Yea I mean Danny doesn't have to know.
He moved to the top of the note and started reading
it. It started off a somber tone he was apologizing for what he was going to do. Tucker throat started to go dry as he tighten as his grip wrinkled the paper. No this had to be a sick prank Danny was gonna pop up with the pizza with a smile to say jokes on you. After starring at the first letters on the note he realized this was no joke.
Dear God it wasn't an accident. Tucker folded up the
note not being able to read the rest of the last words
Danny had planned. He quickly fix the dresser
putting the note up in his jeans. He took off his
glasses rubbing the bridge of his nose to try to calm himself down.
What the fuck should he do ? He can't tell Danny's parents or Jazz they don't know his ghost secret. He couldn't tell Sam. He didn't know if she could handle this news well. He sighed as he put back on his glasses.
He knew Danny was depressed even before the
portal accident. The constant bullying from others
about his shy wimpy way. Not many teachers liked
him because he wasn't like his sister and just wanted to learn about space.
Not to mention his parents spike in fighting because
of that goddamn portal not working.
But this was to much to handle. Should he act like
he doesn't know ? No what if Danny tries it again ? But how could he tell him that he knows what Danny really was planning for the portal 'accident. He racked his hands through his short hair.
" Pizza is here ! " A voice spoke up as the ghost shot
through the window. Danny paused seeing Tucker
mood had changed drastically during his trip to get
pizza. Danny frowned a little putting the pizza the bed " Tuck ? Are you ok ?"
Tucker nodded yes as he looked up to him. He just
gave him a worried look. Danny was confused as he
turned back to Fenton moving the pizza over on the
table to sit across his friend " Tucker.. What's wrong
?" Tucker sighed as he reached up grabbing his friend's wrist. He spoke up his voice shaky " Danny... You know we love you right ? "
Danny frowned more as he nodded yes " Yes.. Tucker what's is this about ? " He asked turning his hands so he could grip Tucker arms while Tucker held his wrist " Tucker what is going on ? Your ok right ? "
Tucker pulled his hand away as he pulled out a wrinkly note out of his pocket as he held it out
unfolding it slightly for Danny to see the date. Danny tilted his head as look at the note. He let out a quiet gasp as he grew pale. The quiet fill the room as Danny didn't meet Tucker gaze. Tucker grabbed
Danny arms holding them together as he shook his
friend a bit " Why Danny ? Danny please tell me why ? "
Danny choked a bit on air as he started to tear up"
I'm sorry " he whisper his voice shaky. Tucker pulled him close hugging him letting him continue.
Danny sniffed a bit trying to hold strong " I don't know why. I was so tired of everything... I thought it would better if I did maybe I could fix everything " he started to break down " you guys where not
supposed to come I didn't want you to find me like
they find the others... When the portal started up ! I
immediately realized I didn't want to to " he couldn't continue as he tighten his grip on his friend.
Tucker just rubbed his back. " Why didn't you tell me how you really felt ?", Tucker asked as he pulled away from his friend holding his shoulder. Danny rub his eyes with his sleeve as he frowned " I.. Didn't know how to tell you
and the others... I didn't want to bother you. "
Tucker sighed as he held Danny still " Do you still feel this way ? If you do we can talk about it."
Danny nodded no as Tucker wasn't going to push his friend to continue on. Tucker nodded as he pat his friend back and folded back up the note " If you ever feel like this again come to us. Me or Sam or someone else. We will be here for you dude. "
" Thank you Tuck.. Are ? Are you going to tell Sam ?" Danng asked a little nervous about Sam knowing Tucker nodded no as he smiled " No I won't unless you want me too. "
Danny nodded no " Maybe one day but not today"
he sighed as he stood up taking the note from
Tucker grip. Tucker lean back watching Danny " I'll
be there when you are ready to tell her.. Just
remember dude we love you."
Danny smiled softly as he glanced at his friend as he
walked to the trashcan burning the note with ecto
energy as the burned paper was dropped into the
trash can.
The day when by normal after that. Tucker and Danny played Doom while eating pizza. The next day they FaceTimed Sam at the Gala it was a funny to see. He sat with his family at the table eating and
talking. He when on remembering who he was and
how he was loved. No matter what they say or what he himself thought.
