A/N: So, I'm rewriting this fic and adding more. I wrote it about 3 years ago, so it wasn't my best work. However, I'm sure this edited version will be better and more enjoyable. To old readers: I hope you like the edited version and be sure to review! To new readers: Thanks for reading my fic dedicated to Sam Manson and Danny Fenton/Phantom. Be sure to review! Thanks! By the way, I'm pretending that Phantom Planet never happened, so no one knows that Danny is a ghost.
Sam looked through her closet before she let out a groan.
"Damn you, Sabrina." Sam growled as she took a step back. Thanks to her crazy cousin's shopping spree, all of her old clothing had been replaced by new and colorful clothing. Bright greens and different shades of blues stared back at her as she ruffled through her clothing. It was her first date with Nicolas and she wanted to look her best.
"No, not a date, Sam. Just a tour. You're just going to watch a movie with him and that's it." She scolded herself as she grabbed a shirt.
"Sammy darling, your date is here." Pamela Manson's singsongy voice drifted up to her room and caused Sam to groan. She hated that her sickeningly cheerful mother was the first person Nicolas had to meet during his first trip to her house. She quickly pulled on the shirt in her hand and ran in front of her mirror to see her reflection. Sam smiled as she assessed her outfit. It wasn't that bad, considering that she had ended up grabbing the first shirt that she found.
It was actually a nice shirt. A blue Banana Republic slubby beaded top with a pair of black capris with skulls on the back pockets. Quickly, she examined her highlighted hair and pulled it into a messy ponytail before she turned and ran out of her room. As she ran down the stairs, she was surprised to realize that she was actually excited about seeing him.
She reached the bottom of the stairs and heard voices coming from the living room along with her mother's laugh.
"Dear god." She breathed as she headed towards the living room, bracing herself for the worse.
She stopped at the entrance and saw her mother sitting in the seat opposite Nicolas, a huge smile on her face as she set a plate full of cookies in front of him.
"Oh, there you are, Sammy darling." Her mother beamed at her after she spotted her. Sam closed her eyes and swallowed the groan before she entered the living room.
"Hi." She smiled at Nicolas, who immediately stood and looked at her.
"Wow, you look beautiful." He smiled as he took in her appearance. Sam turned away, hiding the blush that was beginning to creep up on her cheeks.
"Thanks, you look really nice." She replied, turning back to look at him. As she examined him, she realized that he looked beyond nice. He looked handsome, hot, sexy. His dark brown hair was currently tied back in a ponytail and hung behind him. He was dressed in a pair of blue jeans and a black wife beater that showed off his amazing physique.
"Thanks." He replied, smiling at her. Sam nodded and continued to look at him, feeling herself getting lost in his captivating green eyes.
"Well, you kids have fun." Pam said in her joyful voice, reminding them that she was still present. Sam broke out of her trance and mumbled a yes before she turned and headed towards the door, Nicolas following close behind.
"So, which movie are we going to watch?" Sam asked as they stepped into the night. He smiled and shook his head as though he had not even remembered that they were supposed to watch a movie.
Sam paused for a moment before she realized that she too had no clue as to what move they were going to watch.
"How about that new one about the fake marriage? Where the guy and girl hate each other at first but then fall in love? It seemed really good." She replied, looking over at Nicolas.
He smirked at her before he nodded.
"Sure, why not? Romance is always an interesting genre." He replied, a slight devilish look in his eye. Sam, feeling the heat creeping up her face once again, nodded before she turned away and began to head in the direction of the theater.
"Sam, wait up!" Nicolas called as he ran after her.
"Wow, that was an awesome movie." Nicolas said as they emerged form the theater. Sam smiled and nodded. It was actually a good movie and critics seemed to like it. The actors has made it seem so real as well.
It felt good to see a romance for once without having to worry about Danny or Tucker making retching noises or snickering through the entire movie.
She smiled and walked up ahead before she noticed Nicolas was not beside her. Stopping, she turned and saw him standing there for a moment.
"Are you alright?" She asked as she made her way towards him. He looked at her and smiled before he nodded.
"Great. Never better." He replied, his eye lighting up. Sam returned the smile before she turned away, feeling self consciousness and shy once again under his gaze.
"Do you want to get something to eat at Nasty Burgers?" She asked, gesturing in the direction of the local hanging place for Casper High students.
"Sure." He replied before falling into step beside her. Sam continued to look straight ahead but felt a heat run up her cheek as she felt his hand slip into her own. However, it felt so warm, so right. She was surprised to find that their palms had molded together perfectly.
"Wait, Sam." Nicolas suddenly said, grabbing her and causing them to stop.
"What's wrong?" Sam asked, looking up into his face. He shook his head before he sighed.
"Sam, I really like you. A lot." He replied, looking into her eyes. Sam gasped in surprise and felt her face become red and hot. She quickly moved to turn away but he steadied her face with his hands.
"No need to turn away. It's fine to blush." He replied, causing her to chuckle in response.
"But, I'm serious. You're the most down to earth girl I've ever met and I am having so much fun with you." He at her, causing her to feel her knees grow weak. However, she caught herself at the last minute and remained standing.
"If you don't mind, I would like for us to become a couple. An official couple." He added, looking at her face, which looked a bit surprised.
However, Sam smiled at him before she put her hand on his cheeks.
"I think that would be nice." She whispered, gazing into his green eyes.
"Really?" He asked, obviously excited and happy that she accepted. Smiling, she nodded.
Then, he reached down and claimed her lips with his. Sam gasped in surprise as his tongue slipped into her mouth but moaned nonetheless. Pushing herself onto her tiptoes, she wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him closer to her.
She felt his arms wrap protectively around her and felt comfort and calmness wash over her.
"That was amazing." She whispered as they broke apart, staring into his twinkling green eyes. He smiled and reached down, placing a peck on her lips.
"You're amazing." He smiled down at her as she chuckled.
"Why, thank you." She replied before wrapping her arms around him and kissing him again. As she kissed him, she couldn't help but feel as though the kiss felt familiar. Almost as if she had kissed him before.
"That was great." He breathed as she broke apart. She smiled before placing one more on his cheek.
"There's more where that came from." She smirked at him as he wrapped an arm around her waist.
"Well, now that we are officially together, how should we celebrate?" He asked, looking down at Sam.
"How about we go to the park and sit under the moonlight?" She chuckled, looking at him. He smiled and nodded.
"Sounds great." He replied, his voice full of enthusiasm.
"I was kidding." Sam smiled up at him.
"I knew that." He replied while she scoffed and shook her head.
"Yeah right." She teased, smiling at him.
"Fine. I didn't know you were kidding. But, it does sound really nice." He said. Sam was about to agree when she heard screaming and saw people running. She turned in the direction they were running from and saw a ghost boy with white hair sailing through the air.
"Danny." She breathed as he landed a few feet in front of them. Suddenly, Skulker emerged from the far end of the block.
"You will be mine, ghost boy!" He smiled as he shot a missile at Danny, who quickly dodged it.
"Tucker! I need the thermos! Now!" Danny yelled as he dodged a beam directed towards him. Sam's eyes shifted and she saw Tucker running towards them, the thermos in his hand. She watched as he struggled, unable to get it open. Sam let out a groan, not wanting to fight ghosts in front of her boyfriend.
Suddenly, she spun around as she remembered Nicolas. However, he was nowhere to be found. A few seconds later, she saw him halfway down the street, no doubt running away from the ghosts in front of them.
She returned her attention towards the fight going in in front of her and gasped as she saw Skulker shot another missile.
"Danny!" She yelled, hoping that her warning would reach him faster than the missile. However, it didn't and she watched as it hit the target. As the smoke cleared, she saw an unconscious Danny lying on the ground.
She looked over towards Tucker, who was still fidgeting with the thermos. She gasped as she saw Skulker shoot a beam towards him.
"Tucker!" She yelled. Once again, her warning failed and Tucker fell unconscious as the smoke cleared.
"Damn it!" She growled before she did something she hadn't done in what seemed like forever. Sam ran into the alleyway behind her, praying that no one was watching.
Seconds later, a new ghost emerged from the alley. She had shoulder length auburn hair which was tied in a ponytail and wore a red leather tube top and pants. From her tube top was a thin strip of leather which stretched from her left rib to the right side of her hip.
The ghost hovered, her red-gold eyes darting around as she processed her surroundings. She had not resurfaced for years. Not since Sam had decided that she had had enough of her ghost half and pushed that part of her from her life.
The ghost's eyes darted towards the unconscious Danny and the gloating Skulker. Smiling to herself, she quickly flew over to Danny and Skulker. Just as she reached him, he spun around and shot a missile.
"Sneaking up on me, are you?" He smirked, the belief that he was superior evident in his voice. However, as the smoke cleared, his confidence cleared with it as he stared at the ghost now hovering in front of him.
"Hey, do you remember me?" She asked, a sardonic smile on her face. Judging from the direction he was moving in, it was obvious that he did.
"Amber, is that you?" He asked as he backed away from the auburn haired ghost hovering in front of him.
She chuckled, a cold and frightening sound, before she nodded.
"It's been too long. Years, am I right?" She asked, moving closer towards him. She sensed his fear and it was growing with each passing second.
"Yes, but I have gotten stronger." Skulker said as he regained his confidence and fired a shock missile at her. Amber smiled and easily dodged it. She turned and saw it crash into a building before directing her attention back towards Skulker, who was beginning to look worried again.
"You're still strong too, after years of being away." He whispered, obviously realizing what he had gotten himself into. Amber relished the effect she had on him and the fear she drove into him.
"I see that you have gotten better." She admitted as she moved closer. Skulker shrank back before he turned and flew a about 15 feet away. Once he was no longer within close proximity with her, he fired another missile. She dodged before realizing that it was flying into an apartment building full of people. Quickly, she shot a beam, which blasted the missile before it could cause any damage.
Angered that people almost got hurt, she turned her attention back towards Skulker, who was now smiling at her.
"It's time I taught you a lesson. I heard that you wanted to take over when I left." She growled as she moved closer towards him.
However, he continued to smile, knowing fully well that she was walking into his trap.
"You know, it's not much of a trap if I could read your mind." She suddenly reminded him, causing him to laugh.
"I was hoping you still had that ability. Then, I could do this." He said, smiling at her. Suddenly, she fell from the air and landed on the ground, moaning as she clutched her head.
"Remember how you were before?" Skulker asked as he lowered himself and landed a few feet in front of her. Amber moaned and let out another yell.
"Where is she? Where did Eris go? We all know she was the powerful one. What did you do to her?" Skulker asked, smiling down at her as she writhed in pain. Amber yelled even louder as he thought about Eris even more.
Sam closed her eyes and tried to concentrate on maintaining Amber's form.
However, she felt Eris taking her over again, awakened when Amber was awakened. Now, she was angry, sharing Amber's thoughts as Skulker thought about her.
Sam let out a yell as she felt Eris try to break through the mental barrier she had put up inside her mind. No, this would not happen again.
That was why she had pushed her ghost half out of her life before. She could feel Eris's anger trying to penetrate her shield. It had been safe as long as she didn't summon Amber. But, she had summoned Amber and, in the process, Eris had reappeared as well.
"Feel her trying to get out?" Skulker asked as he noticed the pained expression on her face. She was obviously battling to keep Eris within chains but, from the looks of it, Eris was winning. He smirked and continued to think about Eris, who he knew was also reading the thoughts.
Sam yelled and she felt her eyes growing black, which had been a sign of Eris's presence the last time. It was always the first sign and the only one she could stifle. After that, she had no control over the other effects of Eris's awakening.
Sam closed her eyes and felt herself rise up without her having to do anything. As she opened her eyes, she felt her eye color return to normal, relived that Eris was still locked away. Slowly, she let out a breath, which morphed into a force field, sucking both her and Skulker into it.
As she felt Skulker being sucked in, she felt his control over her diminish until it was extinguished as he fully entered the force field.
"You wanted Eris to come out and play? Very well. But, unfortunately for you, you got the angry Eris, the one who's upset at being caged up for so long." Amber growled, her hair standing up without any wind. Eris had no control over her, but she couldn't help the anger running through her. She had to release it before Eris grabbed onto it and used it to fuel herself. She held her hands out in front of her and a large, red energy beam appeared. Feeling it pulsating in her hand, she smiled and shot it at Skulker. She watched as it hit him in the chest before he let out a yell as it shook him up.
Amber smiled and clapped her hands together, not giving him a chance to recover. Energy beams shot out of her hands and rippled around her like sound waves, all of which struck Skulker in his chest. Amber chuckled as she saw him land on the ground, clearly weakened by her attacks. Fortunately for him, they were not her strongest. Rather, she knew that he would probably be dead if she hit him with her strongest attack.
As she looked at the defeated Skulker, she realized how much she enjoyed defeating the villain and being the hero for once. As the word hero entered her mind, she remembered the reason she had changed. Quickly, she turned and saw Danny's form lying on the ground.
However, she realized that he was awake and watched as he raised himself from the ground before turning around to face her. He made eye contact with her before she quickly turned away lest she betray her identity.
While she was looking at Danny, she didn't see Skulker rise back up nor did she see him fire the beam. But, she did feel the electric beam make contact with her, sending electricity coursing through her.
She let out a yell and her felt her eyes become pitch black. Sam turned and folded her fists, remembering that she needed to control her temper. Energy beams appeared around her clenched fists and began shooting out, all hitting Skulker. It was almost as if her energy beams had a mind of their own.
Amber smiled and began to walk towards the weakened Skulker, specks of fire appearing under her feet as she walked.
Skulker, determined not to lost, got to his feet and shot another missile in an attempt to hit her once again. Amber didn't even look at the missile as she flicked her hand, destroying the missile with a beam. A fire beam.
She quickly stopped after realized what she had done and tried to release the anger that was building up inside her. The last time she had shot fire out of her hands, Eris had taken her over. After that, she had no idea about what she had done nor the damage she had caused.
Sam closed her eyes and tried to relax, determined to make the shield around her mind stronger. Unfortunately, Skulker didn't understand that she was trying not to hurt him and shot at her again, shattering her concentration.
Amber opened her eyes and felt her patience evaporate. Knowing that Eris would be let out if she didn't end the fight at that moment, she did the only thing she could think of. Taking a deep breath, she let out her ghostly wail.
Danny yelled and covered his ears as the ghost in the red outfit let out her wail.
Although it was the loudest and most powerful wail he had ever heard, it was also musical and somewhat haunting and attractive to him.
Amber looked around her and finally stopped her wail, content that Skulker was now on the floor. Danny stared at her and realized that she didn't want to fight. Rather than attack him, she let out her wail and weakened him further.
Danny looked at her as she flew towards Skulker. She was beautiful with cream colored skin and auburn hair tied in a ponytail. Her luscious red lips were slightly pulled apart as an aftermath of her wail and her red-gold eyes were focused on Skulker, who was lying at her feet.
Danny was certain that he had never seen her before in the ghost zone or in Amity Park. Who was she?
Amber looked down at Skulker, who was lying by her feet on the floor. She reached down and pulled him to his feet before pulling him towards her face.
"If you ever bother me again, it will be worst." She said before she reached out and opened a portal using her hand.
"Much worse." She hissed before she threw him into the portal and sealed it.
Amber closed her eyes and the shield protecting the town from the fight disappeared. Opening her eyes, she turned and saw Danny flying towards her. Gasping, she quickly disappeared as he approached her.
Sam looked around before she emerged from the alleyway, fixing her hair. She let out a yell and threw a punch as she felt someone grab her.
"Calm down, Sam. It's me." A voice said. She turned and saw Danny floating beside her before she let out a sigh of relief.
"What the hell is wrong with you? You almost scared me to death!" She growled, shaking her head before turning away.
"Sorry. But, I'm looking for someone." He replied, his eyes searching.
"Well, Paulina is not here." Sam scoffed, rolling her eyes.
"No, not Paulina." Danny replied, shocking her.
"What? Not Paulina? Are you sick?" She asked, looking at him with wide eyes. He ignored her and continued looking around.
"Who are you looking for?" Sam asked as Danny continued to move around.
"This ghost chick who saved his ass." Tucker's voice suddenly replied. He appeared beside Danny, holding his head.
"Damn, that hurt. I'm gonna have a bump for sure." He grumbled as he held the part of his head that he had hit when Skulker's missile blasted him.
"I have rubble in my cap." He grumbled as he picked a piece of rubble from his cap.
"Never mind your cap. Where did she go?" Danny asked as he landed besides Sam and changed back to normal.
"Can you not do that in public?" Sam asked, shaking her head. Danny ignored her and shook his head.
"I could care less. What I want to know is where she went." He said.
"I don't know who the hell you're even talking about." Sam lied, watching his face drop before he groaned.
"Damn! You didn't see her and Tucker got knocked out. I barely got to see her." He grumbled.
"Why is it so important that you find her?" Sam asked, puzzled as to why he wanted to find her so badly.
"Because, she's like super powerful. Not to mention hot like hell." He said, causing a slight blush to run up her cheek.
Did he just call her hot? Well, he called her ghost self hot, but he still called a part of her hot.
"Alright. So she's powerful and hot. But, why do you want to find her?" Sam asked, still not sure why he wanted to find Amber.
"Because, Sam, I want to learn some of the moves she had along with how to develop my powers further. It seems that hers were very developed. Also, I wanna see just how hot she is." He smirked at the last part, his eyes taking on a flirtatious look, similar to the one he normally got when Paulina passed by.
"Well, good luck finding her because I sure as hell can't help you because I didn't even see her." Sam replied, watching his face become slightly aggravated before he scoffed and rolled his eyes.
"I'll look for her on my own." He grumbled before he turned away.
"Good luck finding her." Sam called behind him.
"As if you ever will." She mentally chuckled to herself.
"So, do you think she has a sister?" Tucker asked, looking over at her. Sam let out a disgusted groan before she turned away, shaking her head in disgust.
"Why don't you just go with Danny please?" She begged, shaking her head in exhaustion.
"Fine. Be that way." Tucker scoffed before he turned and ran after Danny.
Sam watched as her two best friends disappeared. One who wanted to find her and possibly date her while the other wanted to date the sister she didn't have. Shaking her head, she turned away, ready to go home.
Amber had resurfaced that night after a long time, but she knew that it could not happen again. If it did, there would be consequences, many of which she knew would be caused by Eris.
"Are you sure?" Technus asked, looking over at Skulker, who nodded in annoyance.
"Do you think I would make something like that up?" He snapped in anger. Technus shook his head.
"No, but I'm just saying it seems really questionable that she suddenly appeared after disappearing for so long." He replied, watching Skulker's eyes narrow.
"Well, it's true. I saw her. Eris is back." Skulker repeated. He watched as some of the ghosts' eyes grew wide in fear while other flew away, not wanting to hear about Eris.
"But, that can't be." Kitty said, shaking her head. It didn't seem possible.
"It is. She's back. I saw her tonight. Besides, would I purposely give myself these injuries?" He asked, gesturing towards his damaged armor.
"Then, if Eris is back like Skulker says, it seems that she has gotten stronger judging by the damage she inflicted on him. If so, we're all in danger especially if Eris takes Amber over fully again like the last time because King Pariah Dark won't be here to stop her this time like he did last time. And, judging from what she did to Skulker, I doubt Pariah would even be strong enough to stop her this time." Ember said, looking around at the other ghosts.
"Then, I suggest that we either hide from her if she is released or we must try to prevent it from happening again. I would go with the second option since there is nowhere we would be able to hide if she is released." Desiree said, turning towards Skulker, who nodded
"We must capture Amber. We have to bring Amber out again and then destroy Eris. That is the only way." He said as he looked around. All the other ghosts agreed, although they knew how dangerous Amber was as well. It would be a task and might prove to be difficult, if not impossible, but she simply could not be released again. That was something they all knew and agreed on.
Sooo reviews! Yes, Sam's a ghost. Yes, she's powerful, in fact the most powerful one. Yes, the other ghosts are scared of her. Yes, she has an evil side. No, Danny doesn't know about Sam. No, the other ghosts don't either. No, no one knows who Eris or Amber is. Yes, they are both Sam. Anyways, review now that I've answered your questions =]
