Made me promise I'd try,
To find my way back in this life
I hope there is a way,
To give me a sign you're okay

Sam looked around frightenedly and excitedly. Was he here with her now, was he? She sniffed the covers and got the smell. He wasn't in her room though, not before he died. The last time he had been had to have been a week before the whole Vlad thing, and even then he didn't even go on her bed.
"Danny? Danny are you here?" She asked hopefully. No response.
Sam had to wonder do ghosts have scents? No they couldn't have that would be impossible since ghosts weren't technically human. Sam had to ask Tucker now, she grabed her cellphone excitedly and dialed his number.
"Sam I wanted you to get some sleep."
"Tucker do ghosts have scents?" Sam asked excitedly.
"What? Sam are you ok?"
"I can smell him, he's here!" Sam exclaimed.
"Sam slow down, who's there?"
"Danny!"
She heard a sigh on the other end.
"Sam... stop. Now where do you smell 'Danny'"
"In my room duh."
"Sam he's not there, I know you want him to be there, and I'm done discussing this." Tucker hung up on her.
"I'm not lying Tuker!" She shouted at her phone.
Sam sat sadly on her bed. She wasn't sure if she was either completely right or slightly insane. Her thoughts took her far away as she reflected on everything. Somewhere along the way she must've fell asleep.
"This is so humilating." Danny muttered as they began their search.
Sam giggled at him, "I only wish I had my camera."
"Oh I bet you do." He said dryly, "I think you're getting too much pleasure out of this."
"Yup." She said with another laugh, Danny rolled his eyes and tried to ignore her.
--
"Yeah, I think I'll be ok."
"Do you want to sit down, I have a chair." Sam offered.
Danny looked at her and chuckled, "I don't know I've seen what you can do with chairs."
--
"The knife thing, how did you do that without going fully intangible?" Sam said eagerly awaiting his answer.
"Magic." Danny smirked.
"Not funny, come on just tell me." She begged.
"Alright, alright." He said, "I used my magic powers to stop the forces of evil by..."
"Danny cut it out." Sam said irratated. "Why is it so complicated to just tell me what you did?"
"Shall we call it pay back?" Danny responded with a smile before Jack turned a corner and caused Danny to slam his head into the metal wall."Oww." He whined.
Sam laughed and he scowled at her, "What? Shall we call that Karma?" She said with a smile.
--
"Please don't go." Sam sobbed.
"It'll be ok Sam," He tried to convince her, "You'll be safe now, and well I don't know what'll happen to me, but I'm sure things will get better."
"I don't want you to go Danny." Sam whimpered burying her head in his chest.
"Sam, " He soothed rubbing her back, "everything is going to be ok, you just have to be strong. Alright?"
Sam sniffed then looked up at him. "I'll try."
--
"If you come with us without a struggle then things will go much smoother for you." The white agent said.
"Alpha restrict b34? I think you guys are just making up rules." Danny sighed.
"Are you questioning authority?" The first agent asked.
"Apparently so." Danny quipped, he couldn't care that there were about eight guns locked on him.
--
Sam and Danny tried to walk in a different direction from each other, but the felt a tug on the ends of their arms. The pair turned to investigate the problem their eyes trailed down their arm and up to the other's eyes. A blush grew on their faces and they stood nervously their hands still together.
"I'm.. I'm uhh... gonna take my hand back. Ok." Sam stuttered nervously and they let go.
--
"Maybe we should do this one last time." Sam said presenting a pen she'd gotten from her pocket.
Danny smiled and nodded. They measured each other and wrote their ages and the date. "Just like old times." Danny sighed and stood back admiring the new lines. "When did we ever lose all this?"
Sam shook her head and breathed deeply. "I don't know Danny, I just don't know." Sam leaned her head against his shoulder. "Look you're still taller than me." She said quietly.
Danny didn't stop her nor did he do anything else. There were no words to be said and no actions to be done. There was just him and Sam in a moment of silence, each just enjoying the other's presence.
--
"Are you ok?" She asked fretfully her eyes scanning for any wounds.
Danny smiled at the worried girl and took her hands and held them gently. "I'm fine Sam, don't worry ok." He said with a smile that made Sam relax.
--
She opened her eyes and looked around quickly, there beside her was a familar figure sitting intently with his hand on her shoulder.
Sam blinked up at him and he smiled. "Welcome back sleeping beauty."
She smiled and yawned. "What are you doing here?" She asked groggily. "Shouldn't you be out kicking butt or something?"
"I'd like to but I needed some help so I came back. And I couldn't leave untill you got up." Danny answered as he watched her sit up.
--
"The Fenton phones?" Sam asked.
"Yeah, so we can keep in contact without having to use the same communicators as everyone else." He explained with a half smile.
"Thanks Danny." Sam smiled and put them in her ears. "I want to see you after this war is over."
"And you will Sam, I promise you will." He whispered gently in her ear as he caught her in a hug. "Be safe ok?"
--
"Sam are you?" He began.
"I'm fine." Sam answered as she shook her head.
Danny's white glove wiped the blood that came sparkling down her cheek from a new cut that made a unwelcome mark on her pretty face. "Get out of here before you get yourself killed." He whispered tenderly.
--
"Danny you can do this." Sam's voice dropped. "I can't do this without you..." She whispered he strained to catch every word.
Sam awoke fearfully from her dream of the past events. She was terrified by the lucidity but mostly by the seemingly invisble hand that had been caressing her cheek. She stared into the dark room and saw nothing there. Sam couldn't get over the fact that something was touching her and it wasn't her imagination, she was definately not dreaming it.
"Who's there?" She called bravely. "Show yourself." She demanded.
But the room was silent and unmoving. Sam got out of bed and reopened the curtains, the sun was begining to set. She grabbed a pair of pants and a sweat shirt and dashed out of the house. This could not be ignored at all, something was going on.
She ran down the streets trying to fix her belt as she went. She was so involved in it that she tripped and fell landing on her elbows. When she raised herself off the ground she saw a blue eyed raven hair boy standing against a tree not too far away with his arms crossed and a smirk on his face. Sam gaped and blinked shaking her head and looking again, he was gone.
"Sooo what you're telling me is that you had really vivid dreams of certain moments that we had with Danny during the whole war thing and then you said you were awoken because there was a hand touching your cheek." Tucker repeated as he sat as it his kitchen table with a skeptical and slightly annoyed look.
"Yes Tucker! Something or someone is following me and I'm not saying it's Danny, but..."
"Sam it's all a dream that's all." Jazz sighed as she sat in the chair beside her with a cup of coffee.
"No this isn't a dream at all, this is really real. I'm not making this up." Sam explained and looked at their unmoved expressions. "I'm not crazy you guys have to believe me. Explain why I saw him on the way here after I fell down." She defended her violet eyes flaring up and her fists clenching.
"Sam honey calm down. You aren't crazy its just that you're seeing and thinking Danny is there because you feel that you are indirectly invovled with his death, and you have things you wanted to say to him." Jazz explained.
"I'm not dillusion! I'll prove it to you!" Sam screamed before stomping out of Tucker's house.
"Should we go after her?" Tucker asked.
"No, she needs to clear her head. She should drop this act soon once she really rethinks this. We just can't support her ideas Tucker I know you want to but we can't if we feed this fire we'll burn Sam to the ground."
Oh god this fic is my favorite of all time it flows so easily for me. So yay for flashback chapters cause they are always fun, for me.
