Chapter 3: Don't

"I think that this is gonna get messy." Danny's jaw dropped.

"That's it? That's all you have to say?" Tucker nodded. Danny sighed. "Whatever. I thought you'd be more help than that." Danny said, a little harsher than he meant to. Tucker rolled his eyes.

"Chill man. Fine. Here's what else I think. I think you should take Valerie to the party tomorrow, for about an hour or so, because everyone knows Paulina doesn't show up until at least an hour after her parties start. Then tell Valerie you don't feel good and take her home. Then fly back as Danny Phantom, have your fun with Paulina, and then go home. It's foolproof." Tucker smiled at the cleverness of his plan.

"Yeah, except for the part where I lie to Valerie the day after we start dating, mess around with Paulina, and stay in my ghost form long enough for someone to catch me!" Danny said, letting out a frustrated sigh. Tucker shrugged.

"You asked for my opinion. I gave it. I never said you'd like it." He walked up the stairs, but turned around when he reached the top. "And Danny, you might want to consider telling Sam you're sorry, or this is gonna get a hell of a lot worse." He slammed the door as he walked out. Danny sighed, rubbing the back of his neck.

Danny walked into Casper High on the following morning. He spotted Tucker and Sam standing by Tucker's locker. He walked up to them and smiled. "Hey Tuck. Hey Sam." Sam glared at him, about to leave. Tucker made a do-it-now face. "Sam, wait. Can I…talk to you?" She sighed, and then nodded. She followed him outside and sat at a picnic table across from him. "Sam, I'm sorry I yelled at you about Val. It's just, you're my friend, and she's my friend, and I just wish the two of you could get along." Sam nodded.

"I guess I can try." Danny smiled, putting his hand on top of hers, which was resting on the table. Sam felt a tingling sensation go up her arm. "Listen, Danny, there's something I need to tell you."

"What?" Sam took a deep breath. Now was as good as ever.

"We've been friends for…a really long time and…there's something I've been needing…to tell you. Danny, I-" She was interrupted by Valerie walking over and grabbing Danny's free hand.

"Danny, I've been looking all over for you. Tucker tells me there's a party tonight." Danny nodded.

"Yeah, I wanted…to take you." Valerie smiled.

"Of course. Pick me up at 7?" Danny nodded, just as the bell ring. "Gotta go." She gave him a quick peck on the cheek and rushed off. Danny turned back to Sam.

"You're…you're dating her? When did that happen?" Sam asked, controlling her jealousy.

"Yesterday. So what was it you wanted to tell me? It sounded important."

"It's…it's nothing. I gotta go." She quickly got up from the picnic table and ran into the school. Danny followed, realizing he was late for Lancer's class, again.

After a short lecture from Mr. Lancer, Danny took a seat next to Tucker.

"So, did you apologize?" Tucker whispered, glancing up towards where Mr. Lancer was standing, making sure he wasn't listening.

"Yeah, but then Valerie walked up right as Sam was gonna tell me something, and then she ran off." Danny whispered back.

"You are so clueless. You both are. You can't see what's right in front of your faces! I mean, do you think everyone is school calls you lovebirds for no reason? Everyone knows you two are 'head over heels' or whatever. You're gonna end up together in the end, so why are you even dating Valerie? I mean come on man, you're totally in love with Sam." Tucker stated matter-of-factly.

"I am not in love with Sam!" Danny said, not bothering to whisper. His cheeks turned cherry-red as the whole class turned to stare at him, including Sam and Valerie. Danny gave a nervous laugh as Mr. Lancer turned to him.

"Mr. Fenton, this is an English Studies class. If you would like to express your love for Ms. Manson, please, do it somewhere outside of my classroom." Lancer turned back to the chalkboard and continued with his lesson as the rest of the class snickered. Tucker stifled a laugh, until Danny hit him in the arm, causing him to start snickering with the rest of the class. Danny sunk down in his seat, wishing he could become intangible and just disappear.
