14-year-old Danny's POV
"SAM!" I yelled as she swayed. I was able to catch her before she could fall on the hard sidewalk. She seemed to have fainted. 'What happened?' I asked myself. I scooped her up into my arms. "Sam, please be ok. I'm going to find Tucker. Maybe he can help you. I hope…" I heard my voice trail off.
I hated not knowing what was wrong with Sam. She was my girlfriend, and I loved her. If anything ever happened to her, I'd only have myself to blame. I had to find Tucker.
10-year-old Danny's POV
I sighed. School shouldn't last much longer, and I wanted the clock to move faster. I glanced around the room at my two friends. Tucker was sitting next to Paulina. He claimed her to be his girlfriend…gross! Then I looked over at Sam. She was reading a book, but I couldn't see the name of it. I sighed again. She was so pretty…wait! Why do I keep saying that? I'm not even interested in girls yet!
But something told me Sam wasn't just an average girl. She was different. She was…lovely. I hit myself. What was I thinking? I'm only 10! Tucker was rushing in on his 'relationship' and I didn't want to get serious like he did. Finally the bell rang, signaling dismissal.
I jumped up and grabbed my rocket-shaped backpack. Tucker and Paulina were waiting for me at the door. Paulina…well, she was just with Tucker. She knew perfectly well that I didn't like her. On the first day of school, she and I had a fight. I can't remember what it was about, but who cares. I walked over to Tucker, and Sam followed me. Tucker and I were her only friends, I guess.
So the four of us walked down the street heading for home. Tucker and Paulina were getting, how should I put it, gross. So, I hung back to talk to Sam.
"How did you like your first day of school?" I asked her. She shrugged.
"It was ok. Boring after a while, but ok."
I laughed. "Usually, school is always boring. All you do is learn. That's not exactly fun."
She glared at me. "I like to read."
I shrugged. "I didn't mean that learning couldn't be fun, it's just the way Mrs. Holly teaches it."
Sam laughed. "You have a point." Sam glanced up at a nearby house and started walking to it.
"Where are you going?" I asked.
She turned and looked at me, smiling.
"I live here." She giggled.
I blushed, and she giggled some more. "Oh, ok." I stuttered before running up to catch up with Tucker and his brat of a girlfriend.
I saw Sam enter her house, then I heard a booming voice. "Nice girlfriend you got there, Fen-turd." I looked up to see Dash standing in front of me. "You like your new nick-name?" He smirked. I just stood there, shocked. "I'm going to beat you for what you girlfriend did to me." He sneered.
I tried to run, but before I could, we both heard something behind us. We looked around to see a teen boy running towards us. He had a freaky weird red hat on and geek glasses. Then out of nowhere, another teenager boy leaped out in front of him. It was the black haired boy. "Tucker, don't!" he yelled as the first African American boy skidded to a halt. "Danny, don't! Just leave me alone! I know what I'm doing!" The two boys where now arguing. This was really starting to scare me. Did they say their names where Danny and Tucker?
10-year-old Tucker's POV
I heard something behind me, so I turned and ran back. Paulina said she would wait there for me. I saw Dash and Danny. Was Dash going to hit my friend? No, wait, they were looking at something. I ran up and stood next to Danny, looking at the two teenagers fighting in front of us.
"Who are those people?" I asked my friend.
Danny seemed to be in a state of shock. "Tucker, I think those teens are us." He gulped, then looked past the arguing duo. I did the same to see Sam coming out of her house to join us.
"I thought I heard something out here." She explained and she stood on the other side of Danny, glaring at Dash.
Dash saw her and ran. Wimp.
14-year-old Sam's POV
I opened my eyes, trying to remember what had happened.
"Danny?" I murmured. My vision was blurred. I couldn't see and I still felt sick. From what I could tell, I was in some bushes and there were people yelling nearby. I stood up drunkenly. I tried to walk towards the people yelling because one sounded like Danny. Was the other one Tucker? I was very unsteady and the yelling and shouting stopped.
Normal POV
Danny and Tucker stopped fighting, unaware that their younger selves were still watching them.
"Sam?" Danny mutterd as he help Sam steady herself.
Tucker was surprised. "This is why you didn't want to stop this fight? Is she ok?" he asked. All temptations to mess with time were gone. He wanted to help his friends. He slowly walked over to Danny and Sam. Sam seemed to be in bad shape and the cause was unknown. Danny was on the verge of tears. Tucker felt ashamed of himself.
The Ghost Zone: Clockwork's Castle (I call it the Castle of Ages)
Clockwork's POV
"Finally, this stupid staff is fixed." I sighed to myself. I floated over to the screen. "All is not as it should be." I grimaced. I hit them button on my time staff, then watched the screen closely.
Three little kids stepped up to the three older versions of themselves.
"Can we help you guys?" A small, younger version of Danny asked. Before the teens could answer, a bright flash and a portal appeared, sweeping all six of them away.
"Darn." I bit my lip. This dose not bode well.
"What did you do now? Are you still messing with me?" Dan called from inside the thermos.
I turned to the thermos enraged. "Do. You. Ever. Shut. Up!?!?" I yelled, slamming the thermos of the table and hurling it to the ground.
It busted, releasing a laughing Dan Phantom. "I knew you couldn't keep me in there forever." He sneered at me.
"Oh, great. This is all I need. Time…" I pressed the butten on my staff again. "...Out!"
Dan didn't freeze like I intended him to. Instead he vanished. I looked at my staff, and in horror, I realized what I did.
"Danny, I'm sorry…I failed."
I bowed my head and looked into the screen again. Afraid of what I knew I would see.
