A/N: After a katrillion years, it's finally here! YAY! lol. Ok, I liked this chapter...even though the characters OOC, mostly Danny and Sam, but seriously, put yourself in their shoes. Ok, enjoy.

Oh, and by the way, when Sam is talking to herself, if it isn't in "quotes" it's in her head. Italics are her...er, conscience, I guess you'd call it. It's the voice in her head. Regular is Sam's voice in her head. R && R! Thanks :3

Chapter 3:

Say Goodnight

"Hello Danny," a deep voice said, "Did you miss me?" Danny gasped and turned around to come face-to-face with…himself.

"How did you…what are you…what the hell…" Dan smiled and gave a soft chuckle.

"To answer your questions, I got out of the Fenton Thermos quite easily. As soon as Clockwork left the tower, I broke free with a few wails. The idiot even left the gates to his tower open. And I'm here to make sure you still turn into me, which you obviously do." Dan said smugly. Danny shook his head.

"No…no, I won't." he said, standing up. Dan laughed.

"You won't? It's already happening. Just look at your eyes!" Dan boomed, pointing an accusing finger at Danny. "Just wait. Just wait…" With that, he faded away, leaving a very upset and confused Danny on the roof.

"What in the world was he talking about? There's nothing wrong with my eyes. How could Clockwork let him get out? God this night is so messed up…" Danny stood up and flew off into the night sky, looking for something, anything, to distract him from the pain in his head and heart.

"Sam? Sammy…I know you're in there. Come out. Let's talk about this." Sam pushed harder against the door to keep it shut and prevent Jackson from getting inside. It was all his fault.

No it's not. A voice in her head snapped.

Yes it is.

Stop denying it Sam. You know this is your fault and yours alone.

Shut up.

Why? Because you know it's the truth? Because you know Danny was all you ever wanted, needed, hoped for, cared for? Because you know your relationship with Jackson was just some sick way of getting back at Danny for all those other girls he was happy with? And there were so many…

Shut up.

Paulina, Valerie, Maria, Lorraine, Cassidy…

Stop it!

Amanda, Nicole, Star…

I said, stop it!

Hey Sam, you remember your cousin Alicia?

Yeah…

The one Danny promised he wasn't seeing?

No…no…he wouldn't.

Psh, whatever. They practically slept together on prom night.

No! Stop it!

But something stopped him. His love…for you. He couldn't do that. How sweet, don't you think?

That's not true! How do you know this?

Oh sweetie, it's 100 percent true. You see, Danny likes to talk to you while you sleep. It clears his conscience, you know? After his little midnight visits, he stays after you fall asleep and tells you things you can't even imagine. I hear them though, because I'm awake. I can't even begin to tell you how heartbreaking it is for me to see you hurt him like this after all the things he trusts you with. Maybe it's best you broke his heart. He deserves so much more than you.

"Shut up! Just leave me alone! Just…just leave me alone!" Sam yelled, bursting into hysterical sobs. She stopped pushing against the door and Jackson pushed it open and rushed to her side. He tried to hold her, but she pushed him away violently.

"Sam, please. Tell me what's wrong. Please, I just wanna help you. I love you!" Sam looked up at him with red, tear-stained eyes.

"No! No you don't! I can't tell you anything!" she screamed as Tucker and Jazz appeared behind Jackson.

"Why not Sammy? We love each other…" Jackson said, stroking the back of her head.

"No I don't! I love Danny! I've always…loved…Danny!" she cried between sobs. Jackson sighed.

"Sammy, I thought we talked about this. You love me, remember? Me, and me alone." Sam shook her head at Jackson's whispering.

"Leave me alone. I hate you! You ruined everything!" Sam yelled, jumping up and running for the door, pushing past Tucker and Jazz and hurrying outside. Jazz looked at Tucker, who nodded. Jazz chased after Sam, while Tucker walked up to Jackson to talk to him.

Danny flew through the sky, high above Amity's high tallest sky scrapers. He was just starting to get his mind off Sam when he heard sobbing right below him. Her sobbing. He tried to keep on flying, but the urge to comfort her was too strong. The fact that Dan was on the loose didn't help. He went intangible and flew closer. He saw Sam sitting on a bench, with Jazz's arm around her. She looks upset. He flew right behind the bench they were sitting on and listened to their conversation.

"I never loved him Jazz. He was always just, just something to pass the time, until I accepted that I really loved the other guy. It's all so messed up Jazz. I don't wanna hurt either of them, but the truth is, I don't love Danny as much as I love Jackson." Danny gasped. She, she doesn't love me? I'll…I'll hurt him. I'll kill him! And with that, Danny flew off, not bothering to listen to Sam finish. "I love Danny so much more."

"So, Jackson, my man, how ya feeling?" Tucker slurred, earning a confused look from Jackson. Tucker sighed. "Look, dude. Sorry about Sam. She's just…confused. And upset. Her and Danny, they've been best friends since before anyone can remember. They've probably loved each other just as long. It won't be easy to just end it cold turkey." Seeing Jackson wasn't convinced, Tucker continued. "Sam can't stand to see Danny hurt. It just hurts her, bad. She's seen him hurt by so many ghosts…er, people." Tucker chuckled nervously, kicking himself for his slip up.

"Ghosts? Does he fight ghosts?" Realization dawned on Jackson, and horror dawned on Tucker. "Danny…Danny Phantom! Danny Fenton, Danny Phantom…it's so obvious! How did I not notice that? After all my uncle's rants…" Tucker stuck up his hands.

"No. No. Jackson, you can't tell anyone."

"Why not Tucker? Why the heck not-" He was cut off by a furious phantom flying through the window, hands glowing as the pieces of glass from the broken window rose around him. His eyes glowed red, his teeth were clenched, and his hair whipped around in the wind. Jackson and Tucker took a step back.

"Danny? Danny…what's wrong?" Tucker shouted over the wind. Danny made a low growling noise and raised his hands, pointing them at Jackson.

"You…you turned her against me! Now, you'll pay for it…" Danny pulled back, ready to shoot the massive ecto-power ball as Jackson cowered and fear and Tucker stood near the door, shocked. Danny stepped forward, the ball just about to leave his hands, when a scream cut him off.

"Danny! No!" Danny lost his concentration, and the ecto ball flew out of his hands…

A/N: Dun dun dun! Cliffhanger. yay.
