I see you guys liked my last chapter. This is where the date gets really interesting. How? You'll just have to read for yourself. Review please!!
Danny opened a shaft on the ceiling of the cave, "where does that lead, Paulina's house?"
"Funny," annoyed Danny at Sam's joke as he, then her went through the shaft to a kitchen.
"Nasty Burger. Are you gonna buy me a burger or something? The place is closed!" Glared Sam.
"We're not here for dinner," said Danny as he walked to the schedule paper and wrote some things down.
"Are you trying to change someone's schedule?" glared Sam.
"NO!" Glared Danny.
"Then what are you doing?" Asked Sam.
"I'm clocking in. You worked here before?" Asked Danny.
"No, but Valerie is," said Sam, "she's actually the Nasty Net."
"And whom you suppose washes that smelly costume at the dry cleaners, delivers the Nasty Burger patties to put in the freezer, and prepares the place for tomorrow?" Questions Danny.
"The manager?" Answered Sam.
"Wrong again," annoyed Danny as a ghost girl who looked so much like him came with a big brown box of Nasty Burger Patties, "this is my cousin, she comes here too. You're late."
"I know, but Valerie thought I was stealing some boxes," told Dani.
"Whatever, I still need two more boxes," told Danny as his cousin nodded and fazed in the ceiling.
"You work here?" Shocked Sam.
"Even I have to live in this world. Besides, the food here's better then the Ghost Zone," told Danny.
"But wait, why make money here? Can't you make money in the Ghost Zone too?" Asked Sam.
"I told you, ghosts trade and money is never used there. I live here Sam and I have to get my money somewhere. Money doesn't grow on trees," said Danny with his arms crossed.
"Still, why not work someplace a lot more . . . I don't know, less lamer?" Asked Sam.
"Because . . ." Danny paused, then continued in a whisper, "no one else would hire me."
"What? But you're Danny Phantom, everybody loves you, my own school talks about you," surprised Sam.
"Yeah, your school, my fan club, and maybe even the adults around here, but what about the mayor, the government, or even United States of America?" Questioned Danny rhetorically, "this is the real world. To the government, I ain't a hero, I'm just an imaginary figure or a dangerous creature in this universe. Nobody accepts people like me, that's why we ghosts have to fend for ourselves. They steal, harm others, and do who knows what just because nobody accepts them. Me? I have to live by whatever trash people throw at me."
Sam realized at this point that Danny Phantom may've been famous, he may've had fans, but he wasn't as spoiled as Paulina or her gang was.
Sam never in her life thought about what other people outside of United States would think of him. She never thought about how Danny was gonna survive. Most importantly, she never thought about how he was gonna get a job with mostly everyone thinking he didn't exist or wasn't even worth anything.
"I didn't think your life would suck," was the only reply Sam could say about all this.
"Everyone's life sucks Sam, even yours. Did you think I was like Dash Baxter's or something?" Glared Danny, "'cause I was the one being bullied when I was alive and still am."
"It wasn't that, I just . . . I just didn't know you, was all," moped Sam as Danny smiled and lifted her chin.
"That's why I wanted to show you this," said Danny, "you're not into famous people and see them as high valued. I'm famous, but not high valued. I'm not even a value."
Sam put her soft hand on Danny's left cheek as the ghost boy looked into the girl's eyes. She showed a quant smile.
"You are to me," said Sam as Danny then felt a soft kiss on his right cheek and hugged the girl around her waist with her arms around his neck, "and you're right, I did think of you as high value before meeting you. I'm sorry for that. I even tell everyone to not judge a book by its cover. I'm such a jerk."
"Yeah, you kinda are sometimes," smiled Danny, being understanding, "but then who isn't."
Sam pushed him back a little bit and looked into Danny's deep green eyes, which she found attractive.
"How 'bout I make it up to you, by helping you and your cousin get the Nasty Burger ready for tomorrow while you tell me how exactly the manager of this place got the nerves to hire you," smirked Sam.
"Sure and the manager of this place actually needed somebody to deliver the patties, dry clean the Nasty Net, and get the place ready for tomorrow, because he's so freakin' lazy," joked Danny as him and Sam laughed, "actually, I had to beg him and promise to do all the dirty work to this place while he focused on clearing his dept."
"Ouch," widened Sam.
"Besides, he couldn't get anybody else to do night Shifts," smiled Danny as he and Sam each carried a box.
"So, tell me about your cousin, she's really cute," said Sam.
