---------------------------------------

The weeks after that passed quickly, Amy was getting in closer with Danny and his friends while her and Valerie started to hunt ghosts together. They would also compare notes about the ghost boy. (Amy would hold back here, the more she knew that Valerie didn't the better it would be.)

And finally it was time to take her plan to the next level.

-------------

Like any other day Amy waved good bye to Danny and his friends and walked home. She waited until she was sure that Tucker and Sam left for their own homes before walking back to Fenton Works. She walked up the stairs to the front door, she put on some fake tears and knocked.

Danny opened the door smiling, then his face dropped when he saw Amy's face. "Amy, what's wrong?" he asked concerned.

"What's wrong?" repeated Amy shrilly. "More like what's not wrong!" she exclaimed.

Danny quickly ushered her inside and sat her down on the couch, she was sobbing now. He handed her a tissue and sat down next to her, Amy blew her nose and calmed down a little still sniffling. "Now tell me why you're crying." he said at last.

Amy let out a huge sigh, 'And here goes my big performance.' "Well it's just," she said out loud, then pausing. "My dad, he's always working. He's never home when I am. He leaves at six in the morning and doesn't come home till ten and I tell him good night before we both go to bed." she said reciting her story. "I always tell you, Sam and Tucker I have to get home so he doesn't worry, but I go home and clean. Do the chores so he doesn't have to worry about them or get mad, I also go to my afternoon job for a few hours then my homework." she sighed and blew her nose again. "I'm crying because it's becoming too much!"

Danny put an arm over her and pulled her close to him like his sister and mother always did to him when he was down. "But you always seem so. . ." started Danny, he wasn't sure what word he was searching for.

"Perfect?" supplied Amy, Danny nodded and she laughed. "I'm nowhere near that! Despite the fact that my dad works around the clock we're not rich. I live in the same apartments as Valerie, actually. All my clothes are clearance and good will bought, I just try really hard to make then look brand name. My mom died when I was ten and since then he puts himself in his work so he doesn't have to think about her. I'm just normal as anyone." She sighed for the millionth time in the last ten minutes. "And try my best in school and work to impress my dad, so he'll notice, but he never does. He hasn't come to a school performance, meeting or award ceremony for over four years now." Amy broke down crying again into Danny's shoulder, Danny rapped his arms around her slowly. It was a little awkward, she continued slightly muffled. "I feel like I'm not worth anything."

"Don't even think about that!" snapped Danny pull her off him, placing his hands on her shoulders and making her look him in the eyes. "You are a beautiful, smart and nice friend."

Amy winced, for some reason she felt. . . guilt for lying to him. She had never felt that before.

"If anyone ever thinks that about you, they're crazy." said Danny firmly. "As for your dad, I'm sure he'll come though, he's just sad about his wife. He can't ignore someone like you for long."

Amy nodded, for a moment she felt like stopping everything and coming clean, he felt so passionate about this. 'NO! You are going soft! Go on! Finish it, reel him in! If this goes according to plan you'll have him forever!' said a small voice in her head. She snapped out of it and continued on. "Thanks Danny, I feel better already. I knew you were going to be the one to comfort me. I don't know why, but I feel so at peace around you." she smiled and hugged him.

"T-thanks, Amy," stuttered Danny. He just realized that he hugging his (very hot) best friend, a friend he just helped - without any powers. And she had come to him, not Tucker or Sam, him. It was now that he noticed her shampoo, lavender and roses, it never smelled better on anyone before he was sure.

Amy smiled as she heard him inhale deeply, he had noticed her shampoo. That got them every time.

Finally they parted, Danny still had his hands on her waist and Amy had her arms over his shoulders. They stared at each other for a moment in silence, then Amy moved in and kissed him. Softly at first then harder as Danny started to kiss back, he deepened the kiss had he moved her on his lap. Amy moved her hands though his hair, just liked she predicted - it was perfect - soft and messy. A feeling was moving though her that she tried to ignore, it was something she had never felt before while kissing someone - warmth and love(?). She pushed that in the back of her mind as she kissed Danny more, it was like she couldn't get enough of him, like she'd die without his kiss.

They pulled away to breathe after what seemed like forever, in reality ten minutes, and just stared at each other for a moment. Amy put on her best guilty/embarrassed face (which wasn't so hard for once) and jumped up off his lap and the couch. "I'm sorry, Danny. I shouldn't have done that, it was way out of line. You probably have a girlfriend, too! I really sorry!" she repeated.

Danny thought for a moment, it was the best kiss he had ever had, and he really didn't have a girlfriend - Valerie was a lost cause and it was better to be just friends with Sam - so he stood up off the couch and smile. He walked over to her and put his arms around her waist, pulling her close to him. He leaned in and whispered in her ear, which brought shivers to Amy, "I'm not sorry," And he kissed her back, not as long this time. The both pulled apart smiling.

After a moment's silence Amy walked over to the door. "I guess I better get home," she said.

Danny took her hand, "Just don't push yourself too far, you deserve to have some fun." he said.

She smiled and kissed him lightly on the lips, "Tonight was the funniest night I've ever had, but I do have to go." she opened the door. "I'll see you tomorrow," she walked out and closed the door.

The moment it shut Danny sighed and fell back on the couch. "I and I thought my life couldn't get any more complicated." he muttered to himself.

As Amy was walking back to her apartment her brain was buzzing with thoughts and questions. 'I've never felt this way before, never. I can't be falling for him, he's the enemy, the target. It's the number one rule, never get attached to the target. It only leads to heart break, and you turn soft.' But she couldn't help but think of the way she felt when she kissed him, the thought alone brought butterflies to her stomach. And his hair, so soft, his lips, even softer. . . 'NO! I can't think this, Vlad would kill me. I have to stick to the plan.' She told her self sternly, but the thought still struck her.

'I just can't be falling in love with him. . .'

---------------------------------

The next day Amy was pulling things out of her locker when someone put their arms around her waist, at first she panicked then she heard Danny's voice. "Hey Amy, how are you this fine morning?" he asked.

Amy sighed and turned around looking into his light blue eyes, like she was in the clearest waters of Hawaii. . . "Amy? Are you okay?" he asked.

"Oh, I'm fine." she said, that was weird, she never blanked out like that. "What about you?" she asked.

"Oh I'm fine, I was just wondering. . ." he lead off, he was rubbing the back of his neck nervously. This could only mean one thing: He was going to ask her out. Just like all the others. She thought that she would be thrilled by this, and she was, but because she actually wanted him to ask her out, not because she had to. "I was wondering," he started again. "If you wanted to go out with me, to the movies and the Nasty burger, maybe?"

Amy smiled and nodded, "I'd love to, what time do you want to go?" she asked.

"Right after school?" suggested Danny, smiling.

"That's great, I'll meet you right here." said Amy closing her locker door, then she leaned in and kissed him softly, then the bell rang. "Sorry, have to go to class. I'll see you later." Then she walked down the hall brimming with happiness.

Danny just stood there for a moment watching her walk away, the he turned to leave and ran right into Tucker's smiling face. "Oh, hi Tuck." he said nervously.

"What was that I just heard? Did you just set up a date with Amy, then kiss her!" exclaimed Tucker.

"Yes, it was. Why?" asked Danny as they walked to their first class.

"I don't know, it's just that she's totally hot!" yelled Tucker. "What caused this change, aren't you hung up on Valerie? And what about Sam?"

"I've given up on her, and as for Sam, I think we should just be friends. It would be weird to be anything else." answered Danny. "And last night she came over in tears, and I helped her - without my powers - that made me feel great! Then after she was calmed down she all of the sudden kissed me, it was unexpected at first but really nice. So this morning I decided to ask her out."

"That was awesome!" exclaimed Tucker.

The teacher walked in and begun class so they had to stop their conversation.

Later that day Tucker was walking with Sam to their class and told her all about Amy and Danny.

"WHAT!" exclaimed Sam.

"Yep, they're going on a date today after school." said Tucker getting a little scared. "Look, I know you like him, but you should have made your move when you had the chance."

"I do not like him!" yelled Sam. "I just find it hard to believe that they are going out after knowing each other for only a few weeks, and right after Valerie you think he would pick his crushes better." explained Sam, she stalked away from Tucker seething.

"Sure. . ." said Tucker rolling his eyes.
