Yay! My computer is working again! If I have any spelling errors, I apologize because I don't have Microsoft Word back on my computer, and I don't always proofread my documents perfectly. Finally, here is chapter 3 of A Nightmare Relived.

Thanks to my reviewer: Nonasuki-chan. (By the way, I agree with you about Dan. Whichever one it is, you shall see.)

Disclaimer: (Gives the microphone to Sam)

Me: All right, Sam, go on and say it.

Sam: Why?

Me: Because you'll get Danny if you do

Sam: (Gives a big grin) Works for me! Dreamwriter2010 doesn't own Danny Phantom! Now, where's Danny?

Danny: (Appears out of thin air) Right here, why?

(Sam jumps on him and proceeds to make-out with him.)

Me: Ok…on with the story.

Last time:

"The he you speak of is none other than the ultimate enemy, Dan Phantom," Clockwork said with a sigh. Sam and Danny gasped.

"He's loose again!" Sam raised her voice in shock.

"Yes," Clockwork responded. He then looked at Danny. "And he's after you, Danny." Danny held his head in his hands and shook his head in disbelief.

"Not this nightmare again," Danny moaned. Clockwork put his hand on Danny's shoulder in comfort. Danny looked up at him, fear reflecting in his eyes.

"I'm sorry, Danny, but, yes, it is this nightmare again."

A Nightmare Relived

Chapter Three- Should I Have Told Him?

"I can't believe this. How did it happen?" Danny asked.

Clockwork sighed and averted his gaze. "I'm not all that sure to be quite honest. Something went wrong in your time stream, and that caused Dan to be let loose. I have to warn you, though; things are going to get much worse.

"Great," Danny moaned, shaking his head in his hands once more.

"Is he going to try and kill us like last time?" Sam questioned.

"That, I'm afraid I can't tell you," Clockwork replied.

"And why not?!" Danny shouted, jumping to his feet. He was frustrated right now, not being able to know all that much about where his enemy was, or what he was doing. It was nerve-wracking knowing that his greatest enemy was loose in the world.

"Danny, calm down," Sam tried to comfort her friend. She walked over to him and put her hand on his shoulder. To her relief, he relaxed slightly under her touch. "You know he can't reveal all that much or it'll mess up the time stream."

Danny sighed and ran his hands through his snow white hair. "Yeah, I know. It's just so frustrating." He closed his lime green eyes and took a deep breath in an effort to calm himself down.

Clockwork changed to his child form and slowly floated over closer to where Danny was. "I'm very sorry, Danny, that I can't help you all that much. I'll still try to help you in any way possible."

A faint smile played across Danny's lips. "Thanks, Clockwork. I suppose we better leave now."

Clockwork solemnly nodded his head. "It'd be for the best."

"Bye, Clockwork," Danny said. Sam echoed him and waved goodbye, then followed Danny out of Clockwork's tower. He looked down at the ground, barely floating above it. He still couldn't believe it, no matter how many times someone told him. He then felt a hand grip his shoulder again.

"Danny, are you going to be all right?" Sam inquired. She felt him sigh deeply under the pressure of her hand on his shoulder. They stepped into the Specter Speeder, and Danny and Sam each took a seat across from each other to talk.

"I wish. It's awful knowing that my greatest enemy is loose, yet I don't know where he is nor what his motive is. He could be right here in the Specter Speeder for all I know."

"I'm sure you'll find him before he can cause any major damage," Sam reassured him. "You've beat him before; who's to say you can't beat him again?"

Danny appeared to think it over. "I suppose you're right," he agreed. "He may be stronger than ever, though."

"Well," Sam said, "Tucker and I will be able to help you this time. We won't be tied to the Nasty Burger boiler again."

Danny gave her a heart-broken look. "What if he tries that again? What if I'm not able to save you guys in time? What if he beats me? What if…"

Sam put a finger to his lips. "Shush. We won't let him this time, and we will be able to help you in the fight." She noticed that Danny had a few tears falling from his lime green eyes. "Danny?"

"I'm sorry, Sam," Danny apologized. "I'm just too upset, I suppose."

"Don't apologize, Danny. It's all right to be upset. I probably would be upset, too, if I was in your position."

"I'm surprised you're not upset," Danny stated, drying his tears. "He might hurt you, Sam."

Sam gave him a smile. "I'm pretty sure I'll be fine. Besides, I can fend for myself."

Danny nodded his head and said, "All right. We better get going before somebody decides to attack us." An explosion then rocked the ship. "Too late," he muttered. They peered out the window to see Skulker floating there, gun still smoking.

"Finally!" he cried out. "The prey has come to me! You will soon be the pelt at the end of my bed."

Danny and Sam shook their heads in disgust. "No matter how many times I've heard that, it's still disgusting," Danny muttered. He then started to charge up a green ecto-ball in his hands. "Heads up!" he shouted after he let it loose at Skulker. It hit him in the stomach, and he flew backwards a few feet. He then flew back to the Specter Speeder quickly. "C'mon, Sam, let's get out of here."

"You got it," she told him, starting up the Specter Speeder. She took the controls and whipped it around fast in the direction of the Fenton portal. Soon they had gotten enough distance between Skulker and them to slow down slightly.

"We don't need to deal with him right now," Danny muttered to himself angrily. Sam watched as Danny's hand glowed with his green aura. Danny looked up at her for a minute, and then followed her gaze to his hand. "Sorry, involuntary action, I suppose," he said, his hand no longer glowing. Sam nodded her head in response. They soon had arrived at the glowing entrance of the Fenton portal. Danny changed back to Danny Fenton before stepping out of the Specter Speeder, just in case his parents were down in the lab.

"Do you think we should call Tucker and tell him?" Sam asked.

Danny nodded his head. "Definitely. He deserves to know." They darted up the stairs and ran to the phone, sort of a race.

"Ha, I win," Sam declared, her hand grasping the phone. Danny's overlapped hers at that moment. They stared at their hands for a couple of seconds before blushing furiously and pulling away from the phone.

"Uh...I-I think you won, S-Sam," Danny stuttered.

"Y-Yeah. I-I'll call Tucker." She quickly dialed his number and put the phone on speaker.

"Hello?" Tucker's voice drifted out of the phone.

"Hey, Tucker, it's Danny-"

"-and Sam," Sam cut in.

"What are you two doing together?" Tucker asked, suspicion creeping into his voice. "Were you guys practicing fake-out make-outs?" He started laughing after he said that.

"Tucker!" They both screamed, their faces going an even brighter shade of red. "You're going to have fifty new bruises when you come over here, Tucker Foley," Sam threatened. They heard Tucker squeak lightly.

"I'm good," he said. "I'll be quiet now!"

"It's about time," Sam muttered.

"Anyways, we have some bad news."

"What?"

"Dan Phantom is loose again."

"What! He's loose again! How did you find out?" Tucker asked worriedly. "What if he comes after us again?"

"Tucker, calm down," Danny tried to calm his friend.

"Calm down?" Tucker was in hysterics. "How do you know that he won't come after us again? What if he is able to kill us this time? What if...?"

"Tucker!" Sam interrupted. "Shut up and let Danny talk!" Danny gave her an odd look.

"Was that really necessary?" he inquired.

"If you want him to calm down, yes," was her response. Danny rolled his eyes and groaned before turning back to the phone to talk to Tucker.

"I found out from Clockwork," he explained. "The dragon ghost came to the school and was really upset about someone, but she didn't explain who. I accidentally broke her necklace, so she was pretty upset at me. When I went to Clockwork, he was knocked out. He then woke up and told me that Dan Phantom had gotten loose."

Sam's mind then flashed back to the scenes she watched from someone's time stream. For some reason, she thought that they were important, but she found no reason for them to be. She shook her head, clearing her mind of the thoughts.

"Man, I can't believe this," Tucker moaned. "Do you have any plans, Danny?"

Danny shook his head, though Tucker wouldn't see it. "No. I don't even know where he is right now, so I can't really do a whole lot."

Tucker sighed deeply, and paused for a few minutes. "Well, I suppose that's all you can do for now. Call me if you get any ideas on where he is."

"'k, Tucker. Later."

"Later, dude," was Tucker's response before the click of the phone hanging up was heard. Danny pushed the end call button on his phone. He ran a hand through his black hair, a nervous habit.

"Danny, just relax. There's nothing we can do. Do something to take your mind off of this." Danny nodded his head, and Sam pulled his arm to the couch and forced him to sit on it. "C'mon, let's watch a movie." She thumbed through the DVD rack and pulled out a movie, Over the Hedge. (A/n: Over the Hedge on the brain, I guess.) She popped it in the DVD player, and then went over to the couch and sat by Danny. Sam immediately relaxed, but her mind was filled with troubled thoughts. Danny still seemed tense, and he was pretty worked up. After a while, he eventually relaxed and found himself putting an arm around Sam's shoulder. She tensed slightly, but then she relaxed under his touch. She rested her head on his shoulder, and that's how they remained for the rest of the movie.

Clockwork watched them from his screen, glad they could relax for the minute. "I wonder if I should have told Daniel about what will happen soon." The screen then flashed to the shadows that Sam had seen, except they weren't shadows anymore. He sighed deeply. "I pray that Daniel has enough strength to defeat him once and for all."

My computer is working again! Yay! Hopefully, I won't have anymore problems with it. Well, hope you enjoyed this chapter as much as I enjoyed writing it. R&R please! L8r!
