Hellbreaker, I felt that Sam would think that low of her parents. They never did anything in the beginning of the series to prove that. As for her low self esteem I think that with her outlook on Danny's life with the powers that her seeing how well she did with them she might have a bit of a confidence issue. :) She will get better.

When Sam awoke next she found that she was surrounded by her family, Danny's parents as well as Tucker, Danny and Valerie. Lurking in the shadows was Vlad, his blue eyes burning with what could only be bad for the halfa.

"Had us all worried, little one," he said with a knowing smirk. Yeah...definitely bad. Trying to sit up only proved to be painful, Danny leaning over to push her down gently.

"You need to rest," he said softly with a worried smile. She could see that he was proud too, worried, but proud. She needed him to know that Vlad knew something, but looking around once more she figured now wasn't the time anyway. On the left side of her vision she could see that Jack was talking, but she was tired and closing her eyes found the land of Nod while Danny turned to listen to his father and Vlad.

"Sorry that you lost the ecto suit, Jack," the now white haired male stated, looking less then sorry for the loss of the newest invention of the ghost hunters. Jack just chuckled.

"It's okay V-man, those pants made me look fat anyways." The former halfa wanted to smack himself. His father could be such an idiot.

A few days later found the Fenton family plus Sam and Tucker, sitting in front of the television listening to the report about the now ghost free Amity Park, well, mostly ghost free. On the screen the woman before them continued talking, although the screen was changing to show pictures and film of the people in Amity Park taking care of the town.

"Clean up continues and although there are things that we will never get the answers to, or will be able to find there is one thing that is for certain." It came back to her, a small picture behind her showing Sam as the Phantom. "We don't know who she is, but one fan has deemed her to be Ghost Girl." Sam smirked ironically with a shake of her head. She knew had named her that and with a sigh she realized that it was okay that she didn't have a real name like Danny had because Inviso-bill was very stupid and had ticked off her friend.

"Lucky," said the former halfa. "She could have been called Inviso-girl or something else equally stupid."

"It's because the person who named m-her isn't a stupid cheerleader, though a jock isn't all that bright with all those brain cells they lose on the field." Tucker chuckled at the pair squabbling, a knowing smirk on his face as the pair continued on with their little spat.

"Seems that she is a joy, having a good portion of the city singing her praises."

Meanwhile in another house a very pissed off Valerie shot at the screen, her ecto gun smoking as she glared at the screen.

"Well, I sure as hell am not one of those idiots. I will get you ghost girl," she muttered.

"Valerie!? Was that an ecto gun?" Quick to throw the gun behind her back while looking at the direction of her father's voice she assured him that it was the television.

"I will get you."

The trio sat around Danny's computer days later checking off who was out and about and who was captured in the Ghost Zone, most of which were gone save for the Box Ghost, who was an annoyance that the trio could care less about capturing and more about avoiding if possible.

"This means we can have that ghost free weekend, right?" Tucker queered. Sam nodded as Danny celebrated by hitting enter to officially start their weekend only to have his computer state, Hard drive full...

"Hmmmm, hard drive full? Let me just get rid of some..." he faded off as a rather provocative photo of Paulina found it's way on screen. Sam glared at the offending image while Tucker drooled over it.

"I will be downloading that," the dark skinned male stated as he did just that. Danny became nervous as he chuckled.

"D-Don't know where that could have came from," he managed to stutter before turning everyone's attention to a game on his screen. "Hey, let's delete this," he stated. "I don't ever play that g-" before he could say another word a familiar ghost appeared on the screen before them, though they were sure he had no idea of who he was.

"Hello children!" the white haired ghost crowed as smirked at them. "I shall rule the world!" He went shoot out of the computer only to find himself trapped behind the screen. He let out a nervous chuckle before stating, "I can do that from behind this screen!" The computer began to glow an eerie green, levitating up with the mouse, the keyboard, and the camera that had once sat atop the monitor. "But first!" He reloaded the image of Paulina, quickly grabbing the paintbrush from the Paint program before going at the image before the trio. Sam found what he did to be an improvement, though she didn't say a word as the ghost cackled his glee.

"Hey! Do you know how many collectibles I had to trade for that?!" the former halfa cried. He looked to Sam to back him up, and although she hated the Ice Queen she still transformed into her Phantom form if only to take down the ghost on the screen before her. It was in that moment that she was transforming that the ghostly male before her took her down, knocking her back as he eyed her with what was avid curiosity. She knew it. He had never seen her or Danny before so he wasn't aware that there was a halfa...though his next words changed her mind quickly.

"I had heard of a ghostly half child," he muttered as the tower that had struck her moments before produced wires that went after the two males in the room. Danny managed to jump out of the way, but Tucker hadn't been prepared and was captured. It only took another attempt to trap Danny, the former halfa fast, but without his ghost powers not much of a challenge. Sam could see that being a halfa had made Danny faster, but with his powers he had become less reliant on his natural human strengths.

Sam looked around, her eyes falling on one of Jack's inventions, the large dream catching looking thing the closest weapon.

"It will have to do!" she muttered as she went after the ghost possessed computer. Danny was the first one to realize what she was using, his memory of that particular item clear. Tucker also remembered the Catcher, having been one of its victims. With a sweep of her hands the Catcher went thru the computer, sweeping Technus out with such ease that the Goth found herself a little shocked, but what happened next no one seemed to have seen coming. Techus, still controlling the camera enough to make it into a laser that was aimed at the pair tied up in wires.

"But will you be able to beat me if you had to chose between me or them?"Sam flinched, her heartbeat pausing. She could see them in the back of her eyes, in the darkness. Tucker and Danny, her two friends...her true friends. No one had ever given her a shot, not that she was a people person then.

Danny, sensing her hesitation moved quickly, the cord burning off as the beam hit the wires around them. Sam saw her chance and went after Technus. She knew, though, knew that one day she would be forced to make that choice regarding saving her loved ones or taking out the bad guy. She wouldn't have Danny there. He couldn't make those decisions... Did Danny make these choices? Was the fear that you would be alone, that you would fatally make the wrong choice? That you would hurt those that loved you most?

"Sam!" came the sound of her friend's voice, the voice that had been there and Sam blinked realizing she had to take down a ghost. Maybe if she concentrated more on that then she would never make that mistake. With a shot she hit the other ghost, but instead of just failing to his feet the lab coated ghoul just disappeared...
