Consequences

Danny came back to consciousness twenty minutes later, but it felt like so much longer having to stand there waiting. All I could think was that it was my hand that had done this, whether it was actually my fault or not.

I could hear him biting back painful groans as he became more than aware of the various injuries that were wrapped around his body. It broke my heart to see him in so much pain.

I swear to god, I am going to destroy the bastard if I ever get even half a chance. There is no way in hell I am going to let Plasmius get away with this.

There's only one little problem, how can I end the pitiful existence of that damned parasite if he's still stuck within my body?

"You feeling okay, Danny?" Maddie waited until after the pain seemed to leave him to ask. I have a feeling it was still there burning strong, he'd just gotten used to it enough to block out the same way he did in fights.

One of these days, that technique is going to get him killed.

"I'm fine, mom."

"That's a load of bullshit if I've ever heard one." Danny sent me a glare for that comment. "Danny, we both know there is no way in hell even you recovered that fast."

"Don't worry about me, Sam. I'll be fine." He sent me a small smile that I couldn't help but return as I reached for his hand.

One of those "I'm going to lecture you now" looks popped into Maddie's eyes right before she started in on us.

"So, you two mind telling me what you were up to last night?" To say we both turned bright red at that question was an understatement. We both stayed quiet, not really making eye contact with anyone. "Well, am I going to get an answer?" My blush only deepened. Was she really going to make us say it?

"Mom." Danny's voice was slightly whiny, probably as a result of his embarrassment. "You already know, do we really have to say it?"

Maddie smirked at the opportunity to make this worse on us. "Yes, you do. Now, what did you two do last night?"

Danny let go of my hand to use his own to hide his face. I didn't blame him, I was about ready to do the same thing. "I'm waiting."

"We...you know." It sounded like his voice gave out midway through that sentence.

"No, I don't know. Would you like to fill me in, Sam?" Shit. Right when I thought I might just get through this unscathed.

Why? Why did Maddie have to be the type of parent to embarrass the hell out of you before lecturing you?

Fine, if she wanted me to just say it, I would. She's gonna hate that she asked by the end of this.

A smirk came to life on my face. "Well, first we kissed a lot, then Danny got a hand up my shirt, then both our shirts came off. Then my ha-"

"Spare us the details! Please, I do not want to know! It's bad enough you did it in the first place." Mrs. Stuth was slightly red now from that. I intended on making Maddie ask me to stop, but that works too.

"In all fairness, she did ask." Danny managed to get his voice back magically. Somehow, he hadn't completely lost it when I started talking about what we did.

Please tell me you weren't really planning on going into the details. Even in his mind, Danny sounded more embarrassed then I'd ever heard him.

I kinda knew someone would cut me off before it got that far, don't worry. If I really wanted to be a pain in the ass, I would have just imprinted the image in their minds.

Don't do it, I'm begging you! I laughed at loud at that.

"You do realize I was joking, right?" Danny groaned, but nodded his

"Care to explain what was so funny?" Maddie was being relentless.

"You don't want to know. Trust me."

His mother didn't question us any farther on that, apparently trusting the look on Danny's face when he said that. "Moving on then. Do you two realize the consequences of what you did? What the hell are you going to do if Sam ends up pregnant?"

Danny shrugged. "We'd figure it out when it happened. We aren't stupid, mom. We both knew what could happen and if it does, then we'll take care of it."

"Maddie, maybe you should cut them a little slack. They're responsible enough to take care of a kid if it comes to that. Honestly, I'd be glad it took them this long to go that far." Mrs. Stuth gave us an odd little look from her spot not too far off. "That doesn't mean I approve of it though."

"I know, but can we please deal with this later? Tucker is still stuck in the Ghost Zone for those of you that forgot about him" Danny was fighting to find a way out of this conversation.

"Fine, but this isn't the last of this conversation you two. There will be hell to pay when we get back." Oh, I don't doubt that, Maddie. I don't doubt that.

Lancer stepped forward for the first time since Maddie and Mrs. Stuth barged in through the door. "Would someone please tell me what in The Goblet of Fire is going on here?"

"Oh, sorry Mr. Lancer. Long story short, Tucker's gotten stuck in the Ghost Zone and we were about to head out to go get him back." I filled the gap, I had nearly forgotten we hadn't told him about that yet.

Lancer just sighed, apparently he didn't even know what to say to us anymore. "And I suppose nothing I sat will stop you from going or convince you to bring me along?"

"Not by a long shot." I smirked at the balding teacher.

"Just be careful then." He nodded to us as we walked out the door. We knew now was the time to stop screwing around, we needed to get Tucker out of there before something happens to him.

I have a feeling Danny and Sam wish to strangle me with all the awkward situations I keep putting them in... Oh well! :D
