A/N: I think the first chapter could have been better than I wrote. I guess it just wasn't as fun to write as the others are going to be. I'll try to do better. PLEASE REVIEW!

"Camping Trip"

"So we're gonna what now," Tucker asked, looking up from his PDA for the first time since the conversation had begun.

"You three are going to go to the future because if Phantom attacks at this time zone, Danny won't be able to defeat him on his own," Clockwork stated again for Tucker's understanding.

"Does anyone else feel like there's something wrong with this," Danny asked his comrades. He personally felt that spending a week or so with his future self was as far from normal as possible, though it wasn't like Danny was anything normal.

"Wait minute," Sam commanded, placing the book she was reading on Danny's bed. "What do you mean if Phantom attacks us in this time area? I thought that you're supposed to know everything, Clockwork. Don't you know where and when he is going to attack? I mean, you're the master of time and all."

Clockwork's eyes twitched as the question flowed through his eardrums. The Goth noticed his weakness, and though that rarely happened, it always struck a raw nerve in him when it did, "For your information, Samantha, I-"

"Don't call me Saman-"

"Don't interrupt me, child." Sam opened her mouth to speak again put Danny ushered he to stop. "As I was saying before the rude outburst, time is not set in stone. You should understand that considering that Danny is not evil and you're not dead. So-"

"DON'T TALK TO HER LIKE THAT!" Danny ordered, his eyes glowing an eerie green.

"Defensive, much?" Tucker asked, a sly grin etched upon his dark face.

"Shut it, Tuck," Danny scolded. "He shouldn't be talking about death to her like tha-"

"Danny, it's okay. I was questioning his authority. It's what I do. It was natural for Clockwork to get defensive Sam put her hand on his shoulder in a desperate attempt to calm him down.

"But, Sam, I-"

"Shhh." Their eyes met and for a moment the whole scene before them disappeared. That was until Tucker took it upon himself to bring them back to reality, "Hey, Lovebirds, I don't want to ruin the moment or anything for you, but-"

"WE'RE NOT LOVEBIRDS!"

"People, please," Clockwork pleaded. "We don't have all the time in the world here."

"But you're the-" Sam began.

"Don't start, Samantha."

"STOP TALKING TO HER LI-"

"Okay guys, stop," Tucker commanded. "Clockwork, what are we gonna tell our families about this. We can't exactly just say, 'Hey, we're going to the future. See ya in a few days'."

"Tucker's right," Danny began to pace his room. "What are we going to tell them?"

"Well, a lie of course," Sam stated matter-of-factly. She bit her lip in deep thought. "We can just say we're going on a camping trip or something. There's nothing strange about that."

"That'll work," Clockwork replied.

"Okay a "camping trip" it is," Danny finalized.

"Meet me in my tower in two hours," Clockwork demanded before disappearing into thin air.

This isn't gonna go well Danny thought to himself as Sam, Tucker, himself walked down to tell his parents about the "camping trip"

"A camping trip?" Danny's mother asked cynically while tinkering with an invention that Danny was scared to ask about.

"Yeah, Mom, a camping trip. Sam's big on nature and all that jazz. She wants me and Tuck to experience the wild outdoors or whatever." Danny replied.

"Danny I-I just don't know about that," his mother stated, trying to put her feeling as delicately as she could to her son.

"Why?" Danny asked. He didn't see what his mother didn't like about him and his friends spending time together. It was summer vacation after all. Camping trips were normal. "It's just Sam and-"

"That's the point, Honey; Sam. You. In the woods together with no parental supervision."

"But Tucker will be there too, and-HOLD UP!" What his mother was saying finally clicked and he couldn't believe what the woman was thinking. "What are you trying to say, Mom, that Sam and I are going to do something?"

"No, Honey. It's just that you two are older, and-"

"MOM, WE'RE JUST FRIENDS."

"I know that's what you and Sam say, but I'm sorry, Danny. I'm just having trouble believing it."

"MOM, I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT YOU-"

"Okay, honey. You guys can go…"

"THANKS, MOM. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!" Danny sprung from the kitchen chair he sat in and went to meet Sam and Tucker in the living room but before he could exit the room, his mother added with satisfaction, "But Jas has to go with you."

A/N: Next chapter is titled: H-Hey Guys. It's hilarious according to my sister. I'll post it when I can. Please review this story. I'll love you forever.
