A/N: Kay. I'm terribly sorry that this is so short, but I kinda wanted it that way. It just showcases how Michelle feels about Danny, and Danny and Michelle's interactions with each other. Enjoy, and all standard disclaimers apply. :D
And yes, this little chapter does have some significance...
Michelle narrowed her eyes at Danny. He had a weird feeling about him. There was just something about him that put her off. Was it the messy hair? His striking blue eyes? She didn't know, but all she knew was that he gave her a bad feeling.
"Uh. Mommy… can I talk to you… secretly…," the girl whispered to Sam, her green eyes brightly conveying the importance of it all. Ever since Danny and Sam had picked her up, Michelle had been staring at Danny as if he were the Anti-Christ.
Sam nodded quietly, and followed the 8-year old to the Personal Library. It had three large bookshelves. Most of the books were Law books, some were art, but the majority of them were supernatural and romance. There was one large window that went from practically the floor to the ceiling, and there were no chandeliers or light bulbs of any kind in the room. There were candles on the in tables. Overall, the room had an old, dusty feel. It was reminiscent of a Victorian Era Library.
"What's wrong, sweet heart?" Sam murmured, crouching down so she was at eyelevel with the girl. She picked at the string that stuck out from her pants.
"Danny gives me the creeps… and I don't know why…" Michelle's eyes were big as she looked at her mom, and she fidgeted with one of the buttons on her skirt. She looked like a little girl being chastised.
"Sweet heart… If you were older, I'd tell you why you get that feeling around him, but you're a little too young… but Danny's a good man. He won't hurt you or me." Sam smiled warmly at her daughter, and then stood, taking Michelle's hand and went back to the living room where Danny was waiting.
Danny groaned as he slumped onto the couch, rubbing his arm as he did so. He'd hit it on the corner of the wall. "Stupid… stupid…" he muttered as Sam and Michelle came back in. He could tell that the girl was afraid of him, but he wasn't really sure why. The girl hadn't been very shy toward him, so he knew that it wasn't that he was a stranger… it was probably the fact that he still had a Ghost Aura even then. His hypothesis was that she could sense the fact that he was half dead.
"Ok. So, what does everyone want for dinner?" Sam cried out, smiling broadly. She had a brilliant plan on how Michelle would best understand Danny: Find out straight from the Horses' mouth.
Immediately, Danny and Michelle cried out, "Pizza!!" This caused Danny to laugh, and he ruffled his hair once he calmed down. His scalp was itchy…did he have a infestation of dandruff?
"Kay. I'll order some…" Sam left the room to order said pizza, leaving Michelle and Danny alone in the uncomfortable silence. He saw her eye him like a wild animal, and he didn't blame her. He had that affect on a lot of people.
"What's wrong with you? Mommy won't tell me why you give me the creeps. But I think she knows why." Michelle glared at him, putting her small hands on her nearly nonexistent hips. She definitely looked like Sam.
"Uh… well… It's hard to explain. Maybe if you were older…" Danny supplied, looking any where but at her. He was really uncomfortable.
"I'm not too young!! Everyone thinks I'm this little girl who can't understand anything! I can understand just fine, thank you! Now tell me what's wrong with you!" She fumed at him, her hands now in fists at her side, and her eyes boring into his.
Danny decided to relent, for his life. He knew she'd hurt him (possibly kill him - yikes!)if he didn't tell her. So he launched into the story of what happened to him.
A/N: Don't kill me! XD
