WRG: Well, I couldn't find a country song to fit this chapter, so I gave it a regular title. No one guessed the last chapter's country song, 'The Good Stuff', correctly. Only angel-phantom-babii tried. Here's a hug for trying.(gives hug) (turns to Em) Mind doing the disclaimer?

Em: Weird Romantic Gal doesn't own Danny Phantom.

Sam's dream

She was back home. Linda was in the gardens, tending to them. Her real parents were sitting on her favorite bench talking. Sam ran towards them. She was almost there when she was held back by an invisible force. A male voice whispered in her ear, "You didn't forget about me, did you?"

"Now what made you think that?"

"I was only kidding. You know I love you with all my heart. I just want to be introduced to your parents."(In the real world, Danny kisses her forehead and Sam's smile grows.) The owner of the voice became visible and let go of her.

"I was just about to when you stopped me, silly." She then called to her mother, father, and Linda, "Mother, Father, Linda, I would like you to meet someone. This is my fiancé, Danny Fenton."

"Hello. It is a pleasure to meet you, Danny." That was her father.

"Oh, yes. Quite a pleasure." This was her mother.

Linda leaned over to Sam and whispered, "He looks like quite the catch, Mira."

Sam smiled and replied, "Yeah, he is." Danny then kissed her on the lips as this perfect world began to fade away.

End dream

I can't believe that I fell asleep in Danny's arms. Or that he kissed me. These thoughts were the first ones in Sam's head the day after the concert, which was Saturday. She had woken up at 5 in the morning, meaning that she only got 3 hours of rest, which was really more than she needed. You see, only Earthlings need about eight hours of sleep, and she isn't an Earthling. The people who live where she is from only need two hours of rest at the most. After seeing that she slept in, she got up and walked over to her armoire. She then opened the left door and the top drawer. To someone else, it would look empty, but Sam knew it wasn't. Inside that drawer were the books that Linda had given her almost fifteen years ago. Sam smiled as she enlarged them with this simple thought-'Big'. That was all that she had to do. She began to read and practice her psychic abilities. She practiced levitation, astral projection, and precognition. The thing that she was trying to do was combine the three and use them all at once. She did this by meditating. It took her quite a while to do so. When she did, though, it only lasted for about two seconds. Sam was overjoyed at what she saw. Linda was still alive! She's on her way to Amity Park and will arrive soon! That was when Sam saw the time, 11:45. It had taken her over six hours to reach her goal. Danny had said that he would be at her house at 12:00, so she only had fifteen minutes to get ready for the carnival. She quickly shrank the books, got dressed, and put her make-up on. Just when she finished, her 'mother' knocked on the door and said, "Sam, dear, Daniel is here."

Sam opened the door and replied, "Thanks for telling me, Mom."

"You're quite welcome, Sweetie. You two are going to the carnival, right?"

"Yeah, we're gonna meet Tuck and Val there. Mom, somebody who was close to me before I met you and Dad is on her way to Amity. Is it okay if she stays here?" Pam had a shocked look on her face but recovered quickly.

"I suppose so."

"Thanks, Mom. I'll see you when I get home." She then rushed down the stairs. When she got there, Danny smiled.

"Sam, you look great. Ready for the carnival?" Sam was able to keep an approaching blush down. So do you, Danny. Danny was wearing the same style of jeans that he wore in freshman year only darker and the light blue T-shirt she had gotten him for his last birthday that said "It's nice to meet you. You really seem like an interesting person." and "I'm lying" in white diagonally down the first message.

"Thanks, Danny. How are we going to get there?" Please say we're gonna fly. PLEASE!

"Well, I was thinking that we'd fly. That sound good to you?" Good? It's great...no, it's wonderful!

"Yeah, it sounds great."

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!" Sam shook her head while mentally laughing at his eagerness. He grabbed her hand, practically dragged her out the door, went ghost, and took off. Although Sam wanted to spend time with him, she hoped that the day went very fast so that she could see Linda.

While they were in the air, Sam kept glancing from the ground to Danny. Amazingly enough, he didn't notice this. Whenever she looked at him, he had a thoughtful look on his face. Wonder what he's thinking about. It looks as if he's nervous about something. I can't wait till later tonight. I wonder if she'll call me Mira or if she knows that I now go by Sam. Oh well, I don't care. It'll be great seeing her again. I guess that the war is over, for how long though? I mean, how long has it been over? Are my parents still alive? I sure hope so. Was my dream a vision or just a hope? I guess that I'll just have to wait, and in the meantime, I can enjoy myself at the carnival. Sam smiled as she decided this. She knew that if she kept hoping for time to go by faster, she wouldn't be able to enjoy herself.

WRG: Well, there's chapter five for you. From now on, the chapters' titles will depend on whether or not I can find a song for each chap.'s title. At the beginning of each chap., I'll tell you if it's from a song or just a title.

Em: Hey, Weird, what does Sam's real name mean?

WRG: That's a good question, Em. It's meaning really fits because of what her parents' jobs are. Before I let you know in a later chapter, I'd like to see how many of my readers are obsessed with this story enough to find out what it means on their own. If you find out what it's meaning is, I'll post your penname at the beginning of the chapter that I'm going to put the meaning in. Please review.

Oh, just wanted to add this: Next chapter will be the carnival.

By the way, 'Mira' is short for 'Almira'.
