So sorry everyone! It's been forever! I've had lots of things to do... like learn how to drive and prepare to go to a homecoming dance! I am planning to do heated things soon, so I will put up warnings later.. Their feelings must grow! Those of you who are following this story I love you all! This was well needed! I will say that I will be adding some suspense and humor into the next chapter as well. It's all planned, but I'm booked. Luckily I'm trying out a new app that can rejisture my voice and turn it into text. Maybe I can write this faster then! Ah well. Enjoy!

Danny sighed as he walked to his Math class. He didn't really want to go to school, but Tucker's mom was brutal when it came to attending his classes. The rule was: if you weren't sick, you had to go to school. Wishing he were sick right now, Danny walked up to Tucker to talk about his problems, but froze as he felt a pair of purple blue eyes staring at him. With out any warning, Danny bolted past Tucker and headed out the classroom window. As predicted, the jock ran after him, leaving the whole A list team, Tucker, and the teacher to stare at the window the two boys had jumped through.

Danny was chased down many winding roads, trying to avoid his hunter as he ducked through cars and bolted down alleys. Dash was slightly amazed at the boy's sudden skill in agility and stamina, but he had no time to think about that as he cornered Danny into a wall. Panting, Danny pushed his back to the wall like he was scared, eyes searching all around the jock for a weapon of some kind.

"Look Fenton, I just want to talk. I-I'm sorry about yesterday okay? I was just confused about something."

"Like what?" Danny asked, catching his breath in short pants.

"Well, I remembered something like… I think I met you…"

"Back in middle school," Danny finished, not taking his eyes off the others.

Dash stared at him like he had grew a third arm, then smiled happily as he thought Danny would be happy at their reunion. Danny shook his head with a sad face and started walking slowly towards him.

"Dash, you don't know what happened. I remember everything now… After you gave me a gift, that white comb, and I took the test, things went wrong. I was injured and the testing stopped. They wiped my memory and sent me to the Axion Lab division to serve as a lab assistant. I had an accident with a portal they were working on… and… Dash I'm sorry I can't tell you…" Danny started to panic as he remembered his past memories… the memories he wanted to forget.

Dash made a move to hug Danny, but then a loud beeping noise pierced the air. Danny knew what it was. It was the tracking devise the Axion soldiers had been equipped with. To them, Danny had stolen property, and they wanted it back. Grabbing Dash by the hands, Danny did the most stupid thing in the world. He turned intangible and ran into the house next to him.

'What the heck did Fenton just do?' Dash thought as the skinny boy pulled him into someone's closet.

Danny pulled himself into a tight ball and held himself close. The beeping noises were getting louder and louder. In the dim lighting of the closet, Dash saw him shivering in fear. With out realizing it, Das pulled him closer and hugged him in a warm embrace. The shivering seemed to slow down as Danny felt the warmth of someone else. Inside his head, Dash was connecting the dots to impossible answers. The ghost Danny had said that he was his friend from childhood. The Danny in front of him was the same Danny as well. Were both Danny's the same?

He looked at Danny's face in the darkness and watched his brilliant blue eyes change into a glowing green, determination replacing the despair in the young teenagers eyes. "Dash… you win, I'll tell you everything…"

Suddenly, a white halo appeared out of nowhere, encircling Danny and illuminating the room. The started jock jumped back as they started splitting, before turning Fenton into Phantom. As the top halo reached Danny's head, Dash couldn't help think of a beautiful but impossible angel.

Grabbing Dash's hand, Danny turned them both intangible and invisible and flew out of the closet. Dash suppressed a yelp, as they got higher into the sky. He didn't want to show Danny how scared he was. It wasn't the shock of flying or the fear of falling that had him worried though. It was the fact that Danny was carrying him like he was a small textbook. Pulling Dash to his side, Danny took off at a fast but calming speed, his legs becoming a ghost tail as they left the neighborhood. Dash looked up at the nerd, geek, friend, enemy, and obsession that seemed to be grinning at the clouds above him.

"Want to see how it feels to fly though clouds?" Danny asked as he turned himself back to normal when he realized they were well away from their pursuers.

The shell-shocked blonde only nodded at the question, with many more questions filling his head. Danny pulled them into a steep climb as they broke thought the dense clouds that always seemed to hover over the town. Dash opened his eyes when he felt them stop, and opened his eyes to a breathtaking sight. The sun was shining in front of them in a warm red and yellowish glow. Birds were flying freely around them, and the wind hit them calmly unlike the harsh gusts of freezing air they had below. Dash felt free and relaxed for the first time in years. "This is… I don't even know what to say…"

"It's nothing," Danny said with a small blush following both of the teenagers as they watched the sun slowly set.

Danny flew them back to the school. No words were exchanged, but glances were met with confusion, shock, and trust filling both their eyes. They were never going back to the bully nerd routine. They could pretend, but their respect had grown for each other. When Danny touched to the ground, he placed Dash next to him and looked into his warm blue eyes.

"Okay Fent… Danny, first thing is first… I won't tell anyone you're a ghost…"

"Half ghost actually," Danny corrected as he turned himself back into his human form. Dash's eyes grew wide as saucers as he watched the transformation again.

With a sigh, he put his right hand on Danny's raven black hair and ruffled it slightly. "And I have to say, I think we should… I don't know, meet up more often? I don't know when I realized any of this, but I sort of… like you…"

It was Danny's turn to widen his eyes as he heard those words leave the jock's lips. This wasn't the mindless bully that had been tormenting him before. Danny didn't know this, but when Dash regained his memories from his childhood, he also regained his real personality.

"Um, Dash, I don't really know, but I think we can start as friends again… secret friends?"

Dash grinned and pulled Danny into another hug. "Sounds fine to me."

Before leaving to go meet up with Tucker at the Nasty Burger, he leaned into Dash's chest and planted a small kiss on his cheek. It was girly and awkward, but to Dash it was like someone had rekindled a small fire that would never go out.

He watched Danny run away and sighed deeply, imagining what would happen to them in the future. He was sure that he would protect Danny with his life if necessary, and he knew that he loved him and he couldn't deny it any longer. He loved all of Danny, human and ghost. Sadly, he would have to be careful and keep acting tough and uncaring to not cause suspicion, and he couldn't join Valerie on her ghost hunts now that Danny was trying to help them. He would have to be extra careful if they were to slowly but steadily fall for each other.

After reading this over again... I have so many ideas and plans for this story! Some action, romance, suspense, drama, lemon, kissing, humor, oh my! I'll be building more chapters... after my fun night that is ; ) Until next time for our blossoming couple!

Chow! : )
