Disclaimer: I do not own Danny Phantom. Butch Hartman does.
"Morning, Sam," Danny yawned as Sam walked up to him. The Goth looked vaguely disgruntled. It took a few seconds of blearily studying her face before Danny asked, "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing, really," Sam sighed, running her hand through her hair. "It's just…my new spider earrings aren't in the shape of true arachnids."
Danny glanced at the purple and black earrings and shrugged. He didn't notice anything weird with them. Then again, he hadn't gotten any sleep last night, so his perspective might be slightly skewed. He was probably missing something really obvious.
"I don't see anything wrong with them," he said, yawning again.
Sam rolled her eyes but let it go because he was so ador—tired! She meant tired! He was not adorable – well, he was, but – ugh! She was not crushing on one of her best friends!
"Arachnids have eight legs," she said. "My 'spider' earrings only have six legs."
Danny blinked owlishly at her. "And that really bugs you?" he asked, not even noticing the (for once) unintentional pun.
Sam groaned at it, though. "Danny, I love you, I really do, but the puns have got to stop!"
There was a moment of brief silence between the two of them before Sam suddenly realized what she had just said, blushed furiously, and then grabbed Danny's hand to drag him inside the school building. She didn't see that Danny's face was as red as her own as she blabbered nervously on about how ridiculous it was to have spiders with only six legs.
Tucker, who had been hiding behind a nearby bush the entire time, paused the video he was making of them on his PDA and placed it in his bag with a smirk.
All right! he thought cheerfully. And now to send that to everyone I know. He chuckled evilly until the bell rang and he realized he was going to be late to first period. Oh, the sacrifices you make for blackmail on your friends…
A/N: I own spider earrings with only six legs. I mentioned it to my friends when they complimented my earrings. Yes, that was amusing.
You know, I rather like writing these short scenes. I wonder if I may someday make it to 100...oh, duh, of course someday I'd get 100 eventually! If I don't leave the fandom for some reason, that is. Anyway, hope you liked it. I think the fluff balances out the tragedy of Superman and LL.
