Standing Up

Chapter 5: Misunderstanding

Disclaimer: I don't own Danny Phantom… I wish I did though… man where is Desiree when you need her…

Danny's POV

I was having a great dream, I was sitting down in the top of my favorite hill smiling leaning back against a tree. That was not the best part though… the best part was in fact that next to me sat the Goth beauty that is my best friend, Sam Manson. We were laying there holding each other staring at the starts, I couldn't thin-

SLAM!

I heard what seem like a door. Next think I know I'm waking up, when I look under me I see none other than Sam!

"Ah!" We both let out a cry of shock. Then I noticed she was blushing like crazy! I could feel my cheeks burning as I look up and see my parents standing by the door!

Sam's POV

I guess it must have gotten so late that we fell asleep! I could feel myself blushing madly. I saw Danny look up and then fear took over his eyes, I look up too and I see the Fentons have their guns pointed right at us! And I was having such a good dream, Danny and I were at the top of our hill and we were stargazing... My thoughts were interrupted by Danny.

"Wh-Whats going on?" He asked with a shaky voice. He was looking straight at them, but they were looking somewhere else… AT ME!

"Sam step away from our son!" Mrs. F told me with a threatening look on her. She was carrying this big machine that had two spikes at the top kind of like a fork without the middle stick. She quickly got to the switch and turned the thing on. At first it didn't do anything, but then an electricity sound came and I could see a line thing connecting the two ends.

"Mrs. Fenton?" I said taking a step towards them. That was a big mistake because when I did she pointed the fork towards me and it electrocuted me. The pain was excruciating, I felt like… actually there are no words for it, just pain. I screamed in pain and then blackness fell over me.

Danny's POV

"NO! MOM wai-" Then my mom took her Fenton Shock and aimed it at Sam. I tried to get up and pull her out of the way, but I was too late. I heard her scream in pain then fall to the ground.

"WHAT THE HELL?" I screamed at the top of my lungs. I heard the door open, but I didn't bother to look at who it was. I got off the bed and kneeled towards Sam, which caused a lot of pain, but that didn't matter.

"Son step away that won't keep her under control for much longer" my mom said reaching out for me. I moved away from her. WHAT THE HELL ARE THEY TALKING ABOUT!

"What the hell are you talking about? That could have killed her!" I yelled at her. Then I saw Tucker kneel next to Sam. He put his ear next to her chest and he sighed.

"She's still alive, man" Tucker said. My parents looked confused while I looked angry.

"What do you mean she's still alive Tucker?" My mom said, all while she still hadn't put her gun down.

"That she has a heartbeat" he said looking at them with a Are you stupid look.

"Tha-That ca-cant be!" My mom said while my dad just looked shocked. I kept getting more confused by the second.

"Of course she has a heartbeat!" I said

"But she's a ghost!"

"WHAT? What are you talking about Sam's not a ghost" Despite my bad shoulder I looked at Tucker and he nodded so we picked her up and set her on the bed. Then after making sure she was alright I turned to my parents. They both looked shocked and confused, again. They explained how they saw something on the ecto detector and they thought it was Sam.

I had to come up with an excuse for that "Well actually you see when I got cut the ghost boy; Phantom pushed me out of the way so that the blade wouldn't stick right through me and in the process he got cut so I was covered in ectoplasm when I passed out. That's probably what the scanner detected" I explained, Pretty good I thought to myself. I looked at Tucker and he gave me a reassuring smile.

After discussing things they bought the story that I fed, I explained everything –as in the truth- to jazz. We called the doctors to check on Sam. They transferred me to another one and they got everyone out.

….

It's been THREE HOURS and I still have no idea what happened to Sam. My parents explained to the doctors what happened and the misunderstanding. The doctors then quickly got everyone out of the room and explained that a shock of that magnitude could cause permanent brain damage! My parents felt awful and I have been stuck in my room for three hours having no idea how she's doing. So many questions filled my head most of which I didn't want to answer; especially what will I do if I lose her? But it won't come to that cause I will not lose her! I will not lose my Sam! She means so much to me it's ha-

"Daniel? Daniel Fenton?" I heard and I saw a doctor looking at ne with a sad expression

Uh-uh "Yeah... that's me" I said

"I have already informed the rest of your family but it seems that your friend… she's in a coma"

I felt my heart sink. "WH-What?" I stuttered, but only in a whisper.

"I'm sorry to inform you that that's not all" He said. THAT'S NOT ALL? I can't take much more I thought.

"If she wakes up there are signs that her memory might not be the same, so in other words she might wake up with amnesia, if she wakes up"
