Disclaimer: If I owned Danny Phantom, I'd own a 12 room mansion. And I don't.

It was just a few days before the wedding. Everything was perfect until...

"Sam. I don't want you to marry Daddy." Kaitlyn was standing by the doorway and just looked at me.

"What?!" I was amazed. She had just come back from visiting Valerie and I was upstairs trying on my dress. It amazed me that she was so straight forward, but she didn't want me to marry Danny?! "But...but...but why?" I asked trying my best to form a sentence.

"Because..." She paused for a painful silence "Because Daddy and I were a lot happier before you came along and I got to see my real mother more." She paused again, slowly stabbing my heart more and more. "Just leave please. And don't come back!" She ran from the room and I collapsed on the bed. I knew what I had to do.

Danny,

By the time you get this, I'll be gone. I'm very sorry, but I finally realized how much it tortures Kaitlyn that she is, or was, getting a stepmother and how much she needs her mother and father together. Please forgive me for breaking Valerie and you up. I just hope you forgive me for leaving, but it's for Kaitlyn and your own good. I hope that someday we'll meet again.

Love,

Sam

Even though it was September, and I hadn't seen Danny, Tucker, Kaitlyn or anybody, I still missed them. I began to think that this was all a big mistake, but it was for Danny's own good. Besides, who'd let a Goth who can hardly stay engaged adopt?

I decided that New York was a good place to keep my mind off things, and I was right too. Except I forgot one thing...

"Sam?" I turned around and saw a redheaded woman on the street look at me. Jazz.

"Where have you been?" she was obviously angry. "You left a note to Danny and ever since no word, Danny's like the walking dead,and Kaitlyn..."

"Must be happier." I said remembering our conversation, the one causing me to leave.

"WHAT?! She's miserable! You can hardly get two words from her when I last saw her. The same with Danny! What are you talking about!"

I told her about the conversation, the note, and everything else. I felt even more miserable when I finished. Jazz wasn't mad at me anymore when I was finished.

"I think Valerie's behind this. Oh, guess what?" Jazz said.

"What?" This had to involve Valerie if she suddenly remembered.

"Jessica's not Danny's. Val cheated on him."

"WHAT! WHY THAT--!" Jazz shot me a 'calm down' look.

"Why don't we go and see him? Dispite what Kaitlyn said." She said calmly.

Back in Amity Park, I was nervous. I was almost positive Danny hated my guts since I left. When we got to the Fenton's, Jazz reassured me that she told almost everybody that Kaitlyn was behind my disapearance, and Valerie was most likely behind that.

"Almost?" I asked wondering who she left out.
"I thought you'd like to tell Danny." She laughed at my horrified look. "Just kidding, I told him. By almost I meant Kaitlyn doesn't know you're coming back." I sighed.

"Let's get this over with." I said. "We should have got some 'We hate Valerie, the little whore.' balloons."

Nobody blamed me for leaving. Which was a great relief to me. "Danny will be here soon." Mrs. Fenton said cheerfully. Oh, just kill me now. I thought, forcing myself to smile.
