HOLY FUCKING SHIT FROM HELL! I AM SO SO TIMES INFINITY SORRY FOR THIS BEING LATE AGAIN! I honestly was going to post this last week, had almost all of it done...when it happened…
DUN DUN DUNNNN!
My computer crashed (and if you listen closely, you can hear me, sobbing in the distance).
Luckily my other chapters did not get deleted, but this one (the first draft) did. My laptop is super shitty so it does this sometimes, but it is still emotionally crippling. (just kill me now)
Questions and review time! (Yay!)
FowlFanKid13: Thanks so much kid, just make sure not to repeat anything I'm saying to your parents...this isn't necessarily PG...and is definitely not going to get lighter later on. Fair warning.
IM CONFUSED: That is the point! You're just going to have to wait and see…*evil laughter*
ilikepie3.14: That is pretty fucking cool. I wish that happened to me. Saddly no one liked me very much in 4th grade...or in elementary school at all so...yeah. Just tell me this, does Danny, by ANY CHANCE, have ghost powers? I want to meet this dude.
To sum up my reaction to the rest of the reviews, just imagine a 15 year-old girl sitting in her room on her laptop laughing evilly while trying not to wake her parents because it's 1 o'clock in the damn morning.
Just read already. I need to get to bed, I have to write a research paper that I have procrastinated on for months. If you want to help (pls) just PM me. (im desperate)
As much as I would love to own Danny Phantom, I sadly do not (more crying in the distance).
Chapter 17
The table was magnificent. Laid out in the best of greek food that could ever be; ripe figs, crunchy apples, savory almonds, fresh fish, lentils and chickpeas, cheese, and bread we served on platters of gold and silver. The smell of wine and olive oil weaved through the air and their noses. The smell reminded people of bliss and happiness, while the taste reminded people of heaven.
It truly was a feast fit for a god.
Sam was used to the golden goblets and exquisite food, she had been born into the lifestyle of luxury and five star comfort. She couldn't stay the same as the rest of her friends, Danny being when he was younger, Maddie and Jack would always be down in the basement working on something and forget to prepare food for their two kids, Valerie had been born into a similar lifestyle as her own, yet there had been that period in which paying the rent had been more important than paying for food, and while Tucker had good parents they were busy away on business trips most of the time and ended up staying with a babysitter, and later Danny.
She couldn't help feeling guilty about her friends households. Sure, her parents were jackasses who tried twice to get a restraining order on Danny (the second time had involved a motorbike race with Johnny 13, a black lacy bra, and a metal whisk). Luckily, both attempts had failed, yet Sam knew that she could always count that there was food on the table, even after she became a vegetarian, and the bills paid. She sometimes wondered how she didn't end up like Paulina.
How did she deserve them at all?
Sam remembered the first day when the infamous trio began their reign, the day that seemed to seal their future together, down to the way the school smelt. It had been on the third day of second grade, during lunch, with Sam sitting at the end of the table. Sam had always been a loner, talk to people having not been her strong suit. She remembered the hideous pink sundress her mother had forced her into, and her black hair pulled into pigtails. She remembered this weird kid walking up to her and asking if he could have her sandwich. Sam remembered how he sat down when she gave him the sandwich, and how a kid with dark skin ran over and asked if the boy could share.
She remembered how the black haired boy tore the meal in half and gave the bigger side to the darker skinned kid.
She remembered how he blushed when he remembered she was still there.
She remembered how nervous he was when he introduced him and his friend.
How skinny he had been.
How grateful he looked when she handed him the sandwich.
How his friend smiled and thanked him what seemed to be twenty times, before thanking her twenty times as well.
The way that when they began to talk, it felt familiar, as if they already knew each other.
The way she laughed, actually laughed for the first time, and how she felt happier than she had been in a long time.
She remembered every day after that, every time they met up, before and after the accident.
The accident…
"Sam? Are you okay?"
Sam turned her head towards Valerie. She blinked before nodding. "Yeah, I'm fine. I just got lost in thought."
Valerie chuckled. "Of course you were," She said sarcastically.
Sam rolled her eyes, but was smiling regardless. "Shut up."
Valerie laughed, to which Sam couldn't help laugh along.
"Now seriously," Valerie said after calming down, "Everything alright. You have been spacing out more lately."
Sam sighed. "It's just," Sam glanced at Danny, who was currently talking with Pandora and another ghost all while making sure Dani was eating, "Everything feels like it has gone so fast. I can't help think that it has been over ten years since Danny, Tucker, and I meet. I feel like I could of done more for them..." She said as she stabbed a chickpea and shoved it into her mouth.
To say Sam was confused when Valerie began to laugh again was an understatement.
"Done more? You might not realize it, but you have changed their lives. Tucker used to tell me when you first became friends how Danny was so shy, and how he had been so skittish." Valerie said, "If it hadn't been for you, Danny won't have his powers and we wouldn't be friends. You had as big a hand in this as the rest of us."
Sam looked downward at that, then began to think. They wouldn't be there. Tucker would be the skittish little nerd like Mikey and Nathan. Valerie would still be popular and rich, and quite possibly still in Michigan, where she lived before the 'big move.' And Danny...Danny would still be under the control of his parents, forced to do what they needed him to.
Sam smiled slightly and looked up. "Thanks Val. You're...you're right. Thanks."
Valerie smiled as well. It was rare to hear Sam confess that someone else was right. "Of course I am. And what are friends for." The dark skinned girl said. "Now eat up girl. We go to the Far Frozen tomorrow and we all know what kind of food they are going to have."
Sam placed another chickpea in her mouth, yet not as forceful as the last time. She nodded, and turned back to her food.
Sam looked around the table, noticing how Danny and Dani were now talking energetically about how her studies were going. Tucker was also talking, though to a ghost about the latest security advancements. Her amethyst eyes glanced over the table, taking in her classmates and the other ghosts that sat in between them. Maddie and Jack, unknowing to them, sat between two soldiers who had been given orders from Pandora to keep an eye on them. Sam also noticed Nathan chatting with another ghost, Icarus she realized, and could feel the friendly air between the two. Slowly, everyone was realizing that maybe, just maybe, ghosts weren't so bad after all.
Sam hoped so.
Sam continued to look over at her class and the others at the table, this time just to take it all in, and bit into an apple before joining in on Danny and Dani's conversation.
She didn't notice someone staring at her curiously...but Valerie did.
Maddie glared at the food in front of her, disgust and anger clearly written on her face. She refused to eat the food set out in front of her, despite the pleasant aroma wafting from the plate. Who knows, it might be full of poison that only affected humans. She didn't know, what she did know, however, was that the food was not safe to eat.
Then why was everyone else eating?
Even Jack had his fair share of food, though had not touched the wine in the silver cup, and had tried to get his wife to eat at first before realizing it was a lost cause.
How can they not see that these ghosts are trying to do something?
Maddie scowled again, this time looking around the table. She saw her son sitting at the head of the table, clad in silk clothing and his posture something she never saw when in the human realm. It was obvious that these putrid things of ectoplasm had brainwashed him, maybe so early as when the portal started working. She was still curious about how that happened. She also wondered why her and Jack were told to sit between two other ghosts and not beside their son, what if someone attacked him? They wouldn't be able to be their to protect him, the table was too large to run straight over to him. Maddie did sneak a lip-stick blaster into her chiton though, one could never go weaponless when ghosts were involved.
Everything about the dinner was intriguing, especially to how some ghosts were able to replicate an ancient human society. It was all fake though, like the CGI in movies or how Phantom always pretended to 'save the day.' Honestly, her and Jack could easily do that, their whole career was based around it, yet then that bastard showed up and got all the glory that was obviously just a show meant to get people to trust him before he killed them all. Maddie knew it would happen soon, she could feel it.
Maddie's hand twitched towards where her lip-stick blaster was hidden when the large four-armed ghost laughed and patted Danny on the back. He was laughing along, along with the little girl sitting on his other side. Her hardened glare turned to one of curiousity when Danny picked up his fork and ate something of his plate.
Danny's left handed? I didn't know he was left handed…
A fleeting thought crossed her mind when she noticed this, how much about Danny did she actually know? Did she know anything about her son? Maddie dispelled the thought, of course she did! She was his mother after all, but recently there had been the trend of that she didn't know much about him or his friends. The memory about what happened earlier flashed in her head, she didn't think he would react like that…
This is crazy! I am his mother, of course I know about my own son! What happened earlier must of been about a ghost or something...of course it was. He must be going through a rebellious phase, teenagers go through those...it must be that. My son would never do such a thing otherwise.
Maddie didn't even know what was waiting for her…
OMG! OMGOMGOMGOMG! asdfghjk…
Sorry about that, it just I'm FINALLY DONE! It's fucking 12:47 in the morning and I have a runny nose but I have done it! Fuck proper grammar I'm DONE with this shit!
