Chapter 18: The Memorial

Valerie sighed and unactivated her suit. She walked into the grave yard and sat down in a chair. She had already put on a black dress. Sam and Kevin sat on the right side of her and Tucker sat on her left. Right behind her were the Fenton's and everyone else who had come.

Sam was wearing a black long sleeve shirt with purple bats for buttons and a long black skirt. Kevin was wearing a black formal three piece and seemed to have actually considered brushing his hair. Tucker was wearing a black jacket and pants. Jack and Maddie were wearing black hazmat suits and Jazz was wearing a black dress.

Vlad walked up to a podium and said: "Hello everyone, I'm sorry to say that this memorial might take longer then planed. It seems the ghost boy is here!"

Tucker, Sam, and Jazz's eyes widened. Valerie sunk in her seat. "GHOST!" Jack and Maddie cried getting up. A wave of whispering went on and Kevin looked up in the sky. He had seen the ghost boy not to long ago at his wedding.

"Now people, it's alright, I have the Guys in White doing a search for him, but until he is found, you will have to stay here," Vlad said.

"But I have to get home to…" Tucker started but was cut off when Vlad said: "Yes, Mr. Foley, I am well aware of your daughter but I assure you, she's perfectly fine."

Tucker growled under his breath and sat back down. Kevin looked over at Sam who still looked shocked.

"Sam, can I talk to you for a second?" Kevin asked. "Sure," Sam said. Kevin grabbed her hand and pulled her into a corner.

"Sam, do you know the ghost boy?" Kevin asked. "Um…what would make you think that?" Sam asked starting to sweat. "Because before our wedding started, I saw the ghost boy in the lobby and he claimed he knew you," Kevin said firmly.

Sam gasped. So Danny was here? What was he doing back? He said he would never come back. Sam's thoughts were interrupted when Kevin said: "Sam?"

"Uh…kinda," Sam said blushing slightly, not looking Kevin in the face. "How do you know him?" Kevin asked. "He was one of my friends from high school," Sam said.

"Wait a minute, I thought the ghost boy came around during your freshman year, how could you have known him then? Did he die?" Kevin asked.

"Well, he didn't exactly die, he sorta…half died," Sam said. "Half died?" Kevin asked looking at her funny. Sam gulped. She knew Danny didn't want anyone to know about him being half ghost, but at the same time, she did really want to tell Kevin.

"Well, Sam?" Kevin asked. "Look, Kevin, I would tell you, but he wouldn't like it if I did," Sam said. "Sam, he's evil, how can you defend him like that?" Kevin asked.

"He's NOT evil!" Sam snapped. Kevin looked shocked for a moment then said: "Well, how do you know he wasn't just using you?" Kevin asked. "Because wasn't always half ghost! He was my friend since second grade and he and the only reason he killed everyone was because of something he tried to do to SAVE everyone!" Sam snapped.

Just then, the couple looked at the crowd of people staring at them. "Uh, she's just tired, just got married, it happens to everyone," Kevin said hugging Sam.

"H's right, when I got married, Maddie swore she saw a ghost, but I found out it was just a butterfly!" Jack said. "No matter how old they are, they'll still always be embarrassing," Jazz sighed.

Everyone shrugged and went back to talking. "Sam, why are you defending him, he killed your best friend, remember?" Kevin asked. "He WAS my best friend," Sam said. "I thought Danny Fenton was your best friend," Kevin said.

Sam took a deep breath and quietly said: "He…is, Danny Fenton, the ghost boy is." Kevin stared at her for a second.

"You're kidding, your friend is the ghost boy?" Kevin asked quietly. "Yes," Sam said softly.

Kevin was completely shocked. There was no way. But Kevin couldn't help but believe Sam about it.

"So, you're…I mean he's…he's a…" Kevin stammered. "Look, he's not evil, something just happened when he was trying to save us, he didn't mean to," Sam whispered.

Kevin felt like an idiot, but he didn't know why. "Well, uh…" Kevin started. "Don't tell anyone okay?" Sam asked. "Okay," Kevin said smiling.

Sam was smiling to and they walked back to their seats. "Sam, Jazz, can I talk to you guys?" Tucker asked. "Sure," the girls said and followed Tucker to the back.

"So Danny's back?" Jazz asked. "He's probably lying, you know Vlad," Tucker said. "He's not lying, Kevin just told me he saw Danny at our wedding," Sam said.

"What?" Tucker asked. "So Danny IS back?" Jazz asked. "Yes, and I think Vlad's up to something," Sam said.

"When is Vlad NOT up to something?" Tucker asked. "We'll have to keep Vlad and my parents busy if we're gonna keep Danny safe," Jazz said.

"How are we supposed to do that?" Sam asked. "Leave it to me," Jazz said. Tucker and Sam looked at each other and started smirking.

"What?" Jazz asked. "Please, you? You can't even catch a ghost!" Tucker said. "Hey, I got better!" Jazz said in defense. "Yeah, fourteen years ago," Sam said crossing her arms.

"Look, just because I haven't had much practice doesn't mean I can't help, he's still my little brother," Jazz said.

"Alright, what's the plan?" Tucker asked. Jazz, tucker, and Sam got into a huddle and started talking quietly about what they would do.
