"... Danny.... Danny.... Danny.... Danny...." voices echoed inside his head.
Danny stirred slightly.
"Danny...." came a soft voice.
Danny's eyes opened. He saw Sam, standing above him. Her face showed concern.
"Danny!" she cried. "You're finally awake!"
"Wha... woah... What happened?" asked Danny, sitting up.
"I don't know," said Tucker. "You two were glowing, and floated out of the pool, and then you lay on the floor.... Feline Marxx got some of his cats to take you out here. He thought you both were dead. I mean- I did, too. You were all glowy and stuff, then when you were in the Speeder you stopped glowing. Then Sam woke up.... and here we are," finished Tucker.
"Wow," said Danny. "The last thing I remembered was..." he trailed off, his face turning a dark pinkish color.
"What?" asked Sam.
"....it's nothing," said Danny. "Let's head home."
Sam sighed.
Tucker started the Speeder.
"Sam... I..." started Danny.
She looked at him.
Danny sighed.
"Look, just say you love her and get it over with," said Tucker. He was immediately hit with a random gadget.
"Danny, thanks for saving me," said Sam.
"Um... you're welcome," said Danny.
"Doesn't the goth princess get a kiss from her knight in shining armor, or in your case, spandex?" inquired Sam, a teasing look on her face.
"Okay," said Danny, taking her words seriously, although he knew she was just joking. Danny scooted closer to her, then wrapped his arms around a shocked-looking Sam. Then he did what he had wanted to do for so long- kiss her, and have her know he did.
Tucker chanced a look back just after Danny's 'okay'. He turned his eyes quickly forward, deciding to give the lovebirds a moment alone.
Once they broke apart, Danny and Sam sat silently beside each other, both thinking their own thoughts.
Soon, the Speeder pulled into the Fenton's lab. Much to everyone's relief, the lab was empty.
Danny became invisible and looked out the door, to see if his parents were anywhere near. He didn't see them downstairs, but he herd loud bangings and crashings coming from upstairs. He became visible again and motioned for Sam and Tucker to follow him.
All three exited the lab and walked right out the front door.
Once they were outside, Sam asked them a question. "How exactly did you two keep all of our parents from worrying?"
"Well..." said Tucker, "We said Danny was sleeping at my house when he was gone, then I told my parents I was staying over at Danny's when we both were gone, and we told your parents you were at a sleepover with Paulina. Your parents were thrilled."
"Paulina?!" demanded Sam. "Couldn't you have come up with something better than PAULINA?"
Danny and Tucker shook their heads.
Sam sighed. "Whatever. I'm just glad to be back. By the way... are any of you hungry?"
The two boys nodded.
"Nasty Burgers on me," said Sam, starting down the street toward the restaurant.
"Alright!" cried Tucker and Danny, following her.
