It was somewhat late in the evening when Sam came to. The first thing she heard was the voice of her daughter, which at the time, seemed extremely loud, though the teen was just whispering.

She left her eyes closed, and decided to listen to hear what they would say, and to learn of what they were talking about before she'd gotten back to her senses.

"So how do you know my mom?" she heard Ellie ask.

"Oh, we go far back. I even remember you when you were really, really little." a male voice said.

"You do? Mom never mentioned you." Ellie said in surprise.

"Hmmm..." she heard him say, obviously leaving it at that.

Sam felt chills go up her spine. His voice was deep yet soft, and every word seemed as if it was filled with laughter and joy. She could picture him, though she'd seen him plenty of times before, and just briefly before she hit the floor.

She ignored the fact that a voice in the back of her head was reprimanding her for being such a spastic school girl, and thinking about what an idiot she must have looked like, "hitting the deck" with the back of her head.

She awoke finding herself on the living room sofa. Ellie sat on the floor with the cat, watching her, noticing she was awake. Then Danny stood a little farther back, his bright blue orb-like eyes widening, joyful to see her awake.

He flashed his trademark grin. He was taller and less lanky, and she knew full well that he had filled out so nicely throughout his years of ghost fighting, and NASA training. He opened his mouth as though to say something but Ellie beat him to it.

"Well, good morning Sleeping Beauty! Err….although it's really the middle of the night….so yeah…you know what I mean…I'll stop talking now."

"Thanks ever so much." Sam said relieved. Danny chuckled. "Well, um, Ellie this is one of my best childhood friends, Danny Fenton."

Ellie caught on quickly, "Oooo, hello, so happy to meet the man who made Mom drop her favorite coffee mug while listening to his phone message!"

Danny stared at her, utterly bewildered. Sam now even more embarrassed, something she didn't think was possible, said, "Ellie isn't it time for you to go to bed?"

Ellie scowled and turned around scooping up Eclipse in the process. As she marched towards the stairs her comment to the kitten was heard by all, "Y'anno, Lipsy. I bet cha five bucks that they want the minor outta the room before they start ravishing each other."

The two adults just stared at each other blinking. Danny, this time, was the first to recover.

"She's quite a character, huh?" he said sheepishly, his hand behind his neck.

"Surprises in store for me everyday," Sam replied sourly.

"And look at that still alive! How are you? I mean other than that I guess."

"Rather chaotic actually."

Danny grinned again, "Still funny Sammie…"

Sam interrupted, "That is…until you got here."

"You live must have been awfully chaotic if passing out is nothing. And what's this about a coffee mug??" he asked his voice teasing.

"Oh nothing…a tale for another time, more importantly what are you doing here?"

"Am I not welcome?" mock offended, "Seriously though my car broke down right in front of your house. What are the chances?"

"Pretty slim. What are you doing in Amity Park anyway? I thought you were doing the whole NASA-astronaut thing. You look a bit far from home, space cowboy."

"I came up to visit the family. I didn't know you were still in town 'til I visited Jazz. Before I could find out where you lived she got dragged away by my nephews. I lost my chance to ask so when I got back to my parents, I checked out the phone book and called you. I when to go cruise around town to see how much it's changed and the car just died on me. I walked up the door of the house I stopped in front of and the beautiful woman inside faints on the spot."

Sam blushed violently. Danny saw blush and he blushed in return.

"Do you need a place to stay? We have a guest room." She said to mask the fighting tremble in her voice.

"I don't want to impose on you or any-"

Sam shook her head, "You're not."

"Thanks"

Sam led Danny to the upstairs hallway. They past the bathroom and reached the point in the hallway between guestroom and master bedroom. Sam gestured towards the door of the guestroom.

"Can I have a good night hug?"

Sam smothered a laugh, "Sure, Danny."

With the given permission, Danny wrapped his arms around her.

"I missed you, Sam"

"I missed you too, Danny."

He held on to her a little longer, lips touching her hair.

"I'm sticking by my story. You are beautiful," he murmured. He broke away from their embrace and walked into his room leaving a breathless Sam in the hallway.

She got over the shock and walked into her own room. She laid down sprawling across the bed. He was such…such…such, she didn't know what word suited him. But she knew why she never stopped loving him.

Yay for fluff. It's a 11:00 and it's been a long day. But I couldn't stop until I finished. This is really my first chapter I did on my own and I'm rather proud of it. Especially it being a first attempt and all. I'll read it over to double check it tommorrow. Too tired to doo any good now. But I really wanted to share this so here it is! Good night!

9/4- I checked over it and all seems to be well. Only one part where I didn't like the wording but that was it. I like how I spelt do wrong in the AN though. "doo" it was late what can I say? Either that or had Scooby Doo on the brain. I'm going to leave it like that just for fun. :D Don't you love how I had Ellie ramble just like me?? lol, that girl is amazingly like me before I even took over writing about her. As of now I have 4 reviews! Woooooooo! But did you know my favorite number's 5. ;) Thanks for those of you who wrote review you've been a real encouragement.
