Throughout the time Sam and Tucker were still trying to get back together but still he ignored them. Josh would help him everyday and were getting close. One day at school he was just sitting there having lunch with Josh when they walked over to them.

"What do you want now? We're not friends anymore." Danny said.

"Please, we're really sorry Danny give us another chance." Sam said almost begging.

The entire cafeteria looked at them and waited.

"Please, we know we were jerks and you've been doing everything by yourself. We know you're covered in cuts and scars but please, give us one more chance." said Tucker.

He thought about it for a while.

"I promise I'll clean you up like I used to, even if it's the middle of the night. And I'm sure we can talk to the principal and see if I can do it during or after class now that everyone knows who you are."

"I'll think about it."

After school he and Josh went on hitheirs afternoon rounds.

When Danny got home he headed to the ghost zone and headed to Frostbite. When he got there Frostbite was waiting for him.

"Hello great one, what can I do for you today?"

He sighed and said, "My arm was scratched by shadow, hit with one of Skulker's weapons before I could make a shield, and a few others."

So he looked at him and started to clean him up. After that Danny went and hung out in his lair as usual.

The next day he headed to school. He texted Sam and Tucker and told them to meet at his locker.

"What do you think they're gonna say?" Josh asked.

"I don't have a clue. Here they come." Danny said.

So he looked at them and they waited.

"I thought about it while I hung out in my room after Frostbite fixed me up when I was done with work."

They nodded.

"And you're still too late, I may feel like Vlad right now, but I have a different reason and aren't trying to kill you." he said.

Sam and Tucker frowned and nodded sadly. As the day went on people weren't surprised to see them apart from each other.

Valerie especially. Josh wasn't that surprised but upset to.

"Still not giving them a second chance huh?" she said.

"Nope, like I said before, they're out of luck. I gave them a chance and they left. I don't give some people a second chance." he said.

During third period his ghost sense went off. After telling his teacher he went outside and switched into his ghost form. It was Technus this time.

"Ahh there you are ghost child." said Technus.

"Would you just spit out your plan and make it quicker."

Sure enough he was on his back after being hit by something. Then he flew over and punched him. After that he hit him with some ice. While they fought Danny was getting back to normal.

"What is happening to you? You seem more focused than before!" said Technus.

"I have Frostbite helping me out when I'm done with work and are still working with Clockwork." he said.

Sam and Tucker were watching out the window and surprised at what he could do now.

"He, he really is done with us now that he can focus on his fight again, isn't he?" said Sam her eyes watering a little.

Tucker sighed and nodded.

"Yeah, he is done with us."

Later at lunch time both Sam and Tucker were just sitting there not eating. Danny was sitting down with Josh and thinking.

'I really wish I could accept their apology. But they went way to deep. My deathday is next week so I could wish that we were back together.'

"So what are you gonna do?" Josh asked.

He sighed, "Maybe I'll go talk to Clockwork when I get home and see what he thinks."

"That's a good idea. He'll help you."

As the day went on the duo was quiet and sticking together. Finally it was the end of the day and they saw Danny head off to his afternoon rounds with Josh with him. When he got home he headed to Clockwork to talk to him.

"Hello Danny." Clockwork said.

"Hi Clockwork. You know what I'm here for already."

He nodded.

"Well, what do you think would be better?" Danny sighed.

"I don't know. Part of me wants to do it but part of me doesn't!"

"Well it's up to you. It's your deathday not mine."

Danny sat down and covered his face.

Clockwork frowned and could tell he was getting stressed out.

"I know you miss them and want them back. And so do you."

He looked up at Clockwork and shut his eyes.

"I, I'm starting to feel like Plasmius these days. I pretty much have everything he has and can do, I lost Sam and Tucker just like he left my dad. The difference is that I'm not physically hurting them and don't want to. And they left me instead of me leaving them like Plasmius left my dad after the accident."

While they talked Danny thought hard. A little while later he was in his normal home and thinking. As the week went on he was busier than usual fighting. Finally it was the day before his deathday. He was in his room pacing.

"Maybe I should talk to Jazz." he said.

So he went over to her room and knocked on her door.

"Come in." So he opened the door.

"Hi Danny, is something wrong?" Jazz said when she saw the look on his face.

"My deathday is tomorrow which means Desiree is going to grant my wish." She nodded.

"And as you can tell Sam and Tucker have been miserable since we split up. I'm stuck between wishing we got back together and just keeping it the way it is right now. I feel like Vlad a little bit right now lately to."

"Why?" she said.

"Because I can do things he can. Sam and Tucker left me because of Gregor which is kinda like him leaving dad, we never talk to each other that often, it was dad's fault he became Plasmius and Sam's fault I became Phantom and plenty more! The only difference it feels like is that I don't wanna kill them!" he said.

His eyes were starting to water a little.

"Alright Danny, calm down. You're not like him, never gonna turn into Dan and have Josh now so take a deep breath."

He did as told.

"There. Now, think about everything you did together. You became really close, you would work together with ghosts like you do with Josh, Sam would always clean you up when you were done. What else?"

"They would cover me so I could switch places, come up with lies to make sure no one knew I was Danny Phantom."

Jazz nodded.

"And now you have Josh to help with that. So do what you think is best and you'll always have your family, ghost friends, Valerie and Josh to help."

"Thanks Jazz."

"Any time little brother." she said smiling.

The next day was Saturday and he was on his way to his to the party. When he got there everyone smiled. Throughout the party he was having fun.

When it was time for cake he decided what to wish for. As usual the Lunch Lady made the cake and it was two candles.

He took a deep breath and said, "I wish I didn't lose my friendship with Valerie and Josh."

He then blew the candles and heard what Desiree always says, "So you wish it, so shall it be."

After that he ate his piece of cake and then they split up.

The next day Danny and Josh were on their way to class talking.

"So how was your, deathday?" Josh asked.

"It was good. Had some cake, made a wish and all that stuff." Danny said.

While they were on their way to class they bumped into Sam and Tucker but ignored them.

As the rest of the school year went on Sam and Tucker would try and be friends but would never succeed. Danny and Josh would work together everyday and Jazz would help when she gets the chance.

Bye the day they graduated high school two years later Sam and Tucker had given up but stayed together.

They had made a big mistake and had learned their lesson the hard way.
