I was woken up on friday morning at noon. The shock of my blacked out room meeting overwhelming light.

"Sammykins!" my mother's voice screeched. "So it's noon, i sent mikey a suit, your father stopped in new york last night for a dress, and we have a spa appointment in twenty minutes."

"Mom what the f-"

"Language Samantha, saviors ball is tonight." my mom paced and put out my robe and pajama bottoms. "So I took the liberty to get us ready."

I knew there was no way out of it. My mother would throw a fit if i even tried to talk my way out of it. It looked good on our family because I'd be recognized and praised. They wanted to pretend to be one happy family.

I sighed as the anxiety rose in my chest. They had just finished putting the ends of my hair in curls to pin one side back.

I was happy they gave in on the makeup doing a smokey eye and black cherry colored lip.

Finally, Emily, my stylist, led me to a back room to get dressed. "Here you go miss manson."

I watched and huffed as two new women ran around looking at jewls and shoes comparing them to the dress. They ran around putting me into the dress. Forcing shoes on my feet and-

"Are gloves really necessary?" I sighed.

"Your mom insisted on missing." she smiled amused as she helped me into the silverish white elbow length gloves.

I finally turned around my mom did well, a black strapless sweetheart top, the v shaped bottom studded with silver. The skirt was black tool over a white layer making it look silverish. Small black heels. The final touch was a silver chain with an oval cut emerald with diamonds around it.

Of course I was not surprised my mom matched his colors. I thanked everyone and walked out to the limo waiting for me. The door opened and Mikey came out in a black suit with a white shirt and black tie.

"You look amazing Sammy." he kissed my cheek letting me into the limo.

"You look handsome.'' I smiled. As I sat down I felt the anxiety bubble up again, breath in and then out. "This is going to be a lot." he squeezed my knee and nodded.

By the time we got to city hall there were already reporters and limos lined up. When we approached the tucker and Val got into the limo following them were paulina and danny.

I sighed we three had to keep up the appearance, we did save the world. When we reached our spot the rest of the Fentons waited for us at the beginning of the ecto green carpet.

"Sam ,'' Maddie made a Beeline for me. "Oh honey i miss you, you look stunning.'' I missed her warmth. Giving her a rare smile. "Oh i have something for you it'll go perfectly with that necklace."

From her purse she produced a box, inside was a glowing green rose. She put it in the jumble of pins that pulled one side of my hair back. "I call it an ecto blossom, you can put it in soil at the end of the night, just splash some water on it and you'll get a little plant of it."

"Its beautiful.'' I hugged her again. Looking behind me to see paulina seating and danny's readable expression.

Jack and Maddie led our group down the carpet, jazz and her boyfriend, danielle and her two friends, Tucker and val, Mikey and I then finally Danny and Paulina. We walked out to questions and flashes of camera. I put on the show of smiling at mikey even a peck on the cheek.

Finally we were in the event room, when we entered the rest of the party stood from their seats. Lancer was at the DJ booth with a Mic.

" Amity Park, today we are here to honor those who saved the world, who would have thought three fourteen year olds and a sixteen year old were the answer. I had the honor of teaching all four of these young adults, jasmine fenton, Tucker Foley, Samantha Manson and Daniel Fenton or Phantom to most around the world."

Everyone clapped and cheered as photos were snapped of just the four of us. Then we went and sat with our families.

Just then at every table waiters came around with the first dish of the evening. Every one sat and mingled for hours as the other two were served. Once it was cleaned we were invited into the main event area for dancing and drinks.

A different booth was set up playing mostly classical music as reporters and journalists got to view and interview everyone.

Jazz had come towards Mikey and I. "hey sam we have an interview for all four of us, im sorry mikey it'll only be a few minutes." she grabbed my wrist and dragged me away.

Then she grabbed tucker and led us to a private room, camera and lights were set up as well as four chairs to the side of Tiffany snow.

"Hello, this is Tiffany Snow here with team Phantom." the woman turned on a bright smile as soon as we sat. "now we are here to catch up with our young heroes and see what is in store for them next. Right here i have Daniel Fenton, our half human half ghost hero that is in his final year of high school…" I zoned out keeping a ghost of a smile. She continued the upbeat interview as she went through every one.

"And finally miss Samantha manson," I looked at her and put those years of my parents teaching me to be a lady to use.

"Oh please, just Sam," I smiled at her.

She laughed and continued "Sam, you are seventeen years old a senior at casper high, what else is there that maybe not many people know about."

"Well I don't do anything extraordinary, I'm happy this year knowing that I am able to focus on my classes."

"Of course, any plans to continue your work with the community garden project this spring?"

"Yes, I think it's important to help our environment, we get a lot of young ones while doing this and it teaches them something new and outside."

"Lovely, now we have personal question, so its well known these past two years daniel here has shown up with with miss Paulina Sanchez, photogram influencer and aspiring model, but up until tonight you haven't bought anyone, does this mean you two are officially done, and how serious is this new relationship."

"Well Tiffany you seem to have all the facts and obviously Daniel and I haven't been together in a while, and this interview started off great we may be in public's eye tonight but we do have our own lives."

"But we-"

"Were crossing boundaries that we wrote down before this interview took place." Danny's voice was icey. "Now im Danny Fenton, this is Jazz, Tucker and Sam, and it was nice talking to you miss Snow."

I was already walking out by the time they had all joined me. "That was a nightmare" Jazz groaned pulling on her shawl.

"I'm going to the restroom. I walked into a stall as two girls went straight for the mirrors. "DId you see that, what a bitch." number one started.

"To be fair they never gave a full statement, in fact Paulina's super peeved about it, she's pretty sure every time he's out there together."

"As if he's either ghosting it up or with her."

"Plus it's not like Paulina's all that loyal, he refuses to touch her so most nights she ends up in my brother's room."

"Ew, I can't stand her fake ass, how does Dash stand her?"

"Boys will stand anything if it's easy." the two girls walked out as I went to the sink. That was interesting.

Once I was back at the table Mikey placed his hand over mine. "You good?" I knew he saw the disaster of an interview. "Do you wanna head out early?"

"I need to stay for the speeches, you know that." I smiled at the waiter that brought the first course around.

Dinner was filled with polite small talk and avoiding the subject of our break up, of course Danny, Paulina, Tucker, Val and I were seated together. Paulina's new eyes were on her so she kept her mouth shut and a smile on her face as she nodded along to whatever Danny said.

I easily made conversation with Valerie who also seemed to want nothing to do with Danny and the she devil.

After dinner Tucker walked up to the DJ booth "citizens of amity park, we are here to celebrate three years since the attack of the disasteroid. Now the man that this wouldn't be possible with the world knows him and Danny Phantom but I call him my bro, Danny Fenton!"

There was a loud applause and some hoots coming from the boys on the football team. "Good evening everyone, just would like to take the time to thank all of you without the support of each one of you the earth wouldn't exist today. But with that being said i would also like to thank the three people that were there for me from the very beginning, before my secret identity was no longer a secret, my sister jazz, and my two closest friends Tucker Foley and Sam Manson, they hel-"

The lights flickered and the room went dark, all that could be seen was the ghostly glow of red eyes and a smug smirk, "very touching Daniel, I might even shed a tear. Now as much as I would love to stay and join the festivities I can't stay long, but i will say watch yourself amity park it won't be too long till I'm in charge here."

There was a screech and all the widows shattered together leaving everyone in the dark. I felt a chill go down my spine "I'll see you soon, dear Samantha."

I was shocked the lights flickered back on and i saw danny in ghost form helping people and making sure they weren't hurt.

Tucker and I ran over to him, "what's going on danny?"

"Well, i'm not sure it a good idea to-"

"No, Danny," I cut him off. "We deserve to know, plus I think I can be in direct danger."

From the look on my face he could tell I wouldn't take no for an answer. "Fine, let me make rounds meet me at Fenton Works in two hours. I'll tell you two everything."
