WRG: Here's chap. 11, everyone. I already have chap. 12 written out, but I haven't started typing it yet. That one is the last chapter.

Em: Hooray! I can finally rest in peace without you talking to yourself about what fits and what doesn't.

WRG: Um, there will be a sequel. And have you forgotten my CL fic?

Em: (walks away while angrily mumbling to herself)

WRG: Anyway, there is a little cameo appearance in this chap. by a character that is only in two episodes in the first two seasons. Actually, he doesn't even appear until the second one. There will be another cameo by a different character that is only in one episode from the second season. Try to guess who it is in your reviews. Now, on to the chapter!


Clockwork knew that if the young Taurisian princess died, the ghost child would rid himself of his powers and join his love. This would not be good because then Vlad would take over the human world and eventually do the same with the Ghost Zone. However, Clockwork could not stop the battle between the cousins. If he did that, Sam would die while Ara lived. He also could not give Sam her life back because she would move on right away. What he could do was remind Danny of something, which is what he decided to do. He grabbed two of his time medallions and took off to the human world. He called for a time out once he got to the battle area. He placed one of the medallions around Danny's neck. The halfa jerked his head up at Clockwork when he felt the extra weight suddenly appear. "Clockwork?" He asked in surprise. "What are you doing here?"

"I am here to prevent something terrible from happening." Danny's eyes widened in fear.

"Did he escape?"

"No, he is still in the thermos. The terrible thing I am here to prevent is a repercussion of Almira's death." Danny's face fell.

"Then whatever it is will happen. She's already gone."

"If that were true, then I would have arrived sooner." Danny's eyes widened again.

"You mean she's still alive?" He sounded like he was afraid to hope. Clockwork nodded.

"Barely, but, yes, she is still alive."

"Can you save her?"

"No, I cannot," the halfa's face fell again but lit up as Clockwork continued, "but you can."

"How?"

"With a power you first used three years ago." Danny thought back to his sophomore year. Suddenly, recognition colored his face.

"Why didn't I think of that earlier?" His hands and eyes began to glow white. He then moved his hand about six inches above Sam and traced the length of her body. She began to glow as well. After a few minutes, Danny let the glow fade, and his eyes were blue again. "Did it work?" Instead of answering, Clockwork just placed the second medallion around her neck. She stirred, and Danny started crying again. He hugged her tightly. "Sam, I thought I lost you."

"Danny? What happened? How am I alive?" Danny was too choked up to answer, so Clockwork did.

"He saved you." Sam pulled back from Danny to look at him.

"Really, Danny?" He nodded, tears still flooding his eyes. She hugged him, though not as tightly as he had her. This was because, though healed, she did not have all of her strength back yet. "Thank you so much. You're a real lifesaver." They chuckled. Sam then turned to Clockwork. "Why are you here? Would something terrible have happened if I had died?" He nodded and explained what would have been. When he finished, Sam slapped Danny.

"What was that for?"

"For getting rid of your powers and killing yourself, duh."

"But I did it to be with you."

"That is sick and sweet at the same time. Don't ever do that."

"I'll just have to make sure that I heal you before you die." He kissed her. Clockwork cleared his throat. They broke apart and looked at him.

"My work is done. I must be going now."

"Wait, how do we explain this," Sam pointed to her heart, indicating the fact that she was alive, "to my parents? Danny obviously healed me after you showed up, so they think I'm dead." Danny chuckled nervously. Sam looked at him suspiciously. "Okay, what did you do?"

"I kinda flew over here as a human, and your parents, well, adoptive parents saw it."

"That means we already have something to explain without telling them your secret."

"Actually, I think we should tell them. Linda already knows, and it's the easiest way to explain."

"Yeah, I guess it is." As soon as they had agreed, Clockwork called a time in, took the medallions, and disappeared. Every living person that was frozen in time was shocked to see Sam sitting up.

Danny, seeing that everyone had opened their mouths in order to speak, said, "Before any of you ask anything, we're going to explain everything."


WRG: Doesn't the last sentence of chap 10 make a lot more sense now? I had written the last bit of dialogue a little differently at first, but I couldn't remember how Clockwork addresses Danny. I tried to find out from but none of the quotes had Clockwork say Danny's name. Anyway, expect it to be a while before the last chap is put up. It is definitely the longest one. It's four pages front and back on college-ruled paper. I haven't started writing out the sequel yet and won't until my other fic is finished. I estimate that it will be 10 or 11 chapters. I'm almost done with chap 4 of that one. If you like UY and JA, I hope you will take a look at it. Odd will be with an OC of mine. (grins) Anyone who knows me offline will recognize who she's based off of. Please review and try to guess who next chap's cameo is.
