Yeah, I thought that it turned out real well. I hope that you got to see the picture too. I did several different styles, but that one seemed the best. I thought that as she was goth that the white would offend, but with the purple and green, the colors in her normal outfit that she would be okay with that.


"I have a feeling that she's not there," he said as he headed out the ceiling, his body intangible.


Sam was walking around the town as she headed for home, but as she came to her street she felt someone close to her person and whipping around she came face to face with a ghost that she had never seen before. Before her was a guy that looked just like Tucker, yet not like him in the fact that it was twice as tall as the techo-geek. He wore the same clothing as Tucker, but was the size of hulk in his angry state.

"Who are you?" the goth inquired as she moved away from him. The ghost growled as it moved with her, his steps longer taking less effort to keep up with her. "Leave me alone!" she yelled as her hands flew before her and a small blast of green slime left her hands. It hit the Tucker look alike with just enough energy to stun the large ghost. Taking that as her perfect chance she ran, her booted feet thundering below her as her heart sped up in her chest. Looking back the monster ghost was on her heels, his red eyes flashing behind his black glasses. He sped up, his form closing in on her. "Damn!" she cussed as she turned intangible and disappeared below the surface of the streets. Thinking that he would run past her giving her the chance to escape was the wrong thought as the monster Tuck stopped and reached into the ground. He grabbed her hair and yanked her up.

"You are goth girl with Danny!" it thundered. "You will serve as bait!" With that he grasped her waist, releasing her hair as he headed up into the skies just seconds before Danny flew by on his way to Sam's house. He was so intent on getting to her that he failed to notice her being taken away above him. Danny rushed to her house and phased through the door without thinking about the fact that her parents would be in there.

"AH!" Pamela screeched as she stood at the top of the stairs, her eyes wide in shock and fear. "DANIEL! What the hell do you think that you are doing?!"

"Sorry, Mrs. Manson. I was looking for Sam. She seems to have left the hospital." At this the older woman looked perplexed.

"She left? Why didn't they call us?" Danny shrugged. Though Sam's parents still didn't like him very much they had warmed up to him after his saving of the planet and all.

"We just found out moments ago when the hospital called my parents to come rid the hospital of a topless ghost." Pamela flushed.

"Beg your pardon!" Danny realized what that last sentence had sounded like and rephrased it to let the older woman know that he meant that it was just a pair of legs with no upper body. "Really? Well, I have not seen Sam today. She must have run somewhere else." The halfa could tell that the mother of his friend was worried.

"I will find her." Pamela nodded. She knew he could. He was her best friend and even if she still didn't fully approve of him she found that he was really a great boy, though she would never tell her daughter or him that. Her husband had been right about him. He wasn't all that bad and he truly cared for their daughter. She wouldn't want him as a son-in-law as they had already found her a male befitting her station as an heiress, but that didn't mean that the pair couldn't be friends. She waved him off as Danny headed back through the door, his mind troubled by where Sam was. She would have gone home first. That was where she always went when she wanted alone time. Though her parents tried to push themselves into her life that didn't mean that she couldn't lock the door like she always did and blast her Green Day or Breaking Benjamin. Sam knew how to make them leave her in peace. Where could she have gone?


Tucker sat with Dash, both having been released hours ago after getting shots full of purifiers to counteract the toxin in the lab. They too had heard of Sam's escape and after talking to Danny via Tucker's PDA found that they too knew no other place she would have gone too.

"She did have one place, but I doubt she's there," Dash stated. Tucker looked at him, questions in his gaze. Dash shrugged. "Sam and I have become good friends." Danny landed before them and returned to his human half. "She had this tree where she said she had some good memories." Danny looked confused as did Tucker. A tree? "But if she is hiding then I doubt she would go there. It is a bit far away, but still out in the open." Danny and Tucker were shocked. They knew nothing about a special spot that she liked to go and hide out at. It seems that Dash had connected with the goth quickly in the short time they had hung out. "Sam is a really deep person. She just wanted to fit in with her peers. Seems that she felt abnormal. I don't know why. Sure, she's a freak in her own right when I first met her, but after talking to her in the short time she was a prep I can see that she's unique. I feel bad for treating her the way I did over all these years."

"You mean the times that you got drunk together?" Danny inquired, his eyes flashing green. Tucker looked at Dash and Danny in shock. Sam drinking? Dash frowned at him.

"You were spying on her, again? Damn Fenton! When are you going to learn to trust her?!" Dash stood up, straightening to his full height. He was now just a few inches taller then Danny as the two squared off. "She knows what she did was wrong, but have you realized that you are just as bad?!" Danny growled. Who was this jock to tell him what he already knew?!

"Who do you think you are? Her boyfriend?" Dash stepped back, his eyes wide.

"Are you that blind? Is jealousy blinding you to her love for you?" Now it was Danny's turn to step back. Tucker nodded.

"Seriously Danny, even I have to agree with Dash. Did you never see it? Sam loves you, dude." Danny stood there in shock. Sure, Sam loved him. As a friend, right? "Danny, why do you think that she does all that she does? That girl followed you around when you dated Valerie for two reasons."

"She was jealous," Dash supplied as Tucker nodded. "And she was worried. She knew what was going on when you didn't. Sure it was wrong of her not to just come out and say it, but could you blame her?"

"Yeah, Sam got ignored by you when it came to Paulina so what did you think she thought would happen when she tried to warn you with Valerie by your side?" Sure, he had ignored her in the past, but he had apologized almost every time. Was she that hurt by what he had done in the past?

"She's a female," said Dash as if it was the answer to why women did the things they did and the way they acted.

"What the hell?" Danny growled as he turned ghost and headed off into the skies leaving Dash and Tucker to stare at his backside.


Guess I will end this here. I think that this is enough of a cliff hanger as it can be on this particular chapter. So, what happens now? Do they find Sam and what could Tucker Phantom have in store for her? Is he really the master mind behind all this? Find out in the next chapter of What is Normal Anyway?
