A/N: Well, I finally am getting around to updating this story. Now before you get all angry and say that I'm a no good author who "takes her time" to update, I am not. I am currently working on a fiction story that I'm planning on publishing this year, so it will take some time out of my schedule. I also have a lot of school work to catch up to, and I have to maintain passing grades or I can't use the computer at all! In fact, I told all the readers that if I didn't get at least five reviews, I wouldn't update for a while. I am also saying it again. So please review this time instead of avoiding the button. It's not like I get many reviews anyways, and I'm only asking for five, not fifteen (which is a popular number by the way). And if I happen to get lucky and five people review, please don't dismiss reviewing. I want to hear your comments about the story and what you want to happen in it! The question is, "how will Danny's superpowers affect him now that his past is changed?" I also did pictures for the beginning part of this ficcy so they should be posted in my user page shortly…So enjoy this latest chapter. The kid stuff is over and the real story begins! Yay…

The Best Gift of All: Chapter 5: The Real Deal

Danny woke up with a groan.

'Ow, my head!' he thought, and then struggled to get up as he cradled his head.

He looked around himself, and then found that he was in his bed. As yesterdays events started coming back to him, he looked around himself and found that he was in his 'room'.

'Ok, how long was I out? And who tucked me in, anyways?'

He looked to his left, and saw Sam sitting on a small wicker chair with her head resting on the foot of his bed.

'Sam's in here? Why's she not in her bed? Wait…today is…no yesterday was Friday so…'

He looked at his alarm clock. Sure enough, it was 9:34 A.M., Saturday.

'At least there's no school today,' he mused, then went to wake Sam up.

He shook her swiftly, which caused her head to bob up and down.

"Sam…" he whispered fervently. "Hurry up! Get up will you? I don't have all day! Hurry up and get up before your parents come barging in here, asking you to come down for breakfast, and they see me? Sam!"

Infuriated, he slapped her, which caused her to jolt awake, blinking her eyes repetitively in a valiant attempt to wake up entirely.

"D…Danny?" she said, one of her eyes drooping slightly.

"Sam, get dressed! Your parents are going to look for you soon to ask you if you want breakfast."

"Is that…what you're so worried about? You know…they always…call first. I'd just tell them…that I don't want any." She said, yawning.

"Sam! You're so exasperating. Besides, why would you want to miss out on breakfast? Your mom makes those nice garden salads for you when you are good. Maybe if you come down she's make one for you now. With all that ranch dressing…"

"Mmm…ranch."

"So, get dressed Sam. If it turns out that she won't make it for you, since it's the weekend I can sneak and make you one. Ok?"

"I love your salads…" she said, and then her eyes closed entirely.

"Sam!" he yelled, and she opened them again.

"Danny? I had this really weird dream, and I was so worried about you. I brought you all the way home. My parents were at some party, so they don't know you're here."

"Ok Sam. What did you dream about?"

"It was so weird. I convinced you to go into Jazz's parents' ghost portal, and…"

"The one that doesn't work?"

"Yes, that one. Well, you went in, and you came out as a ghost! Me and Tucker looked for your body and couldn't find it, and thought it was lost in the ghost zone forever…"

"That's really weird."

"I know! So Tucker left and I brought the "ghost" you home and hoped it was a dream. I cried so much I fell asleep…and it was in fact a dream! I'm so happy…"

Upon saying that, she embraced him.

"Hold it Sam! That sounds really weird…almost like, it wasn't a dream."

"Of course it was Danny! Why are you being so silly? Besides, you're not dead! I can feel your heartbeat."

"Yeah I guess." He said, and then turned to see Sam staring in shock.

"What?" he said.

"Look down."

He did. He was sinking through the closet floor! Sam hurriedly pulled him up and he fell back down on his bed.

"Maybe I'm not dead. Maybe I'm just half dead." Danny said.

I ran out of time so that's all I can say for now. Review!
