Fc: I just heard this song not to long ago, and my first Reaction was Oh wow another song I can relate to Kingdom Hearts. Well I listened to it AGAIN, AND… I was like Oh duh, Danny Phantom! Fwhee! Man I'm a dork sometimes, but that's totally not the point of this mini rant.

Disclaimer: I do not own Danny Phantom, or the song "Heroes and Thieves"

Chapter Two:
Heroes and Thieves

It was just another typical day in the life of Sam Manson. School, Ghost attacks, ditching me and Tucker for some alone time. As much as she loved her two best friends, she enjoyed having some time to herself to indulge in a secret passion of hers. Singing.

Now before everyone gets into my face, let me explain. Sam has been singing for years, it's a talent she hid from the world. She wasn't in the school choir, nor did she sing for her family or friends. She doesn't even sing along to the variety of well known winter songs. Sam was a serious person when it came to singing, I could tell. She puts her heart and soul into it, You can hear it in her voice. It's like hearing a lone angel singing.

Like I mentioned earlier, Sam's really sincere with her songs. She's only ever sung something that relates to her or someone, or something she knows fully. Like the song I first heard her sing. It was pure accident, but ever since, I've snuck out at night to listen to her sing. Invisibly of course. Well it happened a few nights after the whole cross-country trip to save our parents from Freakshow crisis. I was patrolling and I heard a soft, yet beautiful sound…

Danny flew over Amity Park like he did every night. It was quiet and peaceful. He decided to stop in and visit Sam, just to see what she was up to. But upon reaching her window, he heard the most wondrous sound he'd ever heard. Like a siren's song only more majestic and flowing. Curiosity got the better of him and Danny peeked into Sam's room. She was sitting on her bed with a guitar in her hands. She played a graceful tune, before she opened her mouth. It only got better from there.

Well, disaster it strikes on a daily basis
I'm looking for wisdom in all the wrong places
But still want to laugh in disappointed faces
But you can't help me
I'm blinded by these

Danny had flown invisibly into her room, by now and floated silently, listening to his friend's voice grace each note.


Heroes and Thieves at my door
I can't seem to tell them apart anymore
Just when I've figured it out
Well darlin' it's you I'm without.

Danny was stricken with more curiosity. Who was she singing about? The song was true about the life she had now, but what was the meaning of the song?


Well I'm stubborn and wrong
But at least I know it
I keep moving along and hope I can get through this
But maybe this song is the best I can do it
So I'm patiently waiting on these


Danny tried not to laugh, it was true. Sam was stubborn. Was she referring to the ghost fights she helped with in the second line? He could only guess.


Heroes and Thieves at my door
I can't seem to tell them apart anymore
Just when I've figured it out
Well darlin' it's you
Darlin' it's you oh,
Darlin' it's you I'm…


Without your comforting logic
Like these days are the ones I'll miss
And I seek a solitude that I can't find without you.
Ah ah, ah
Da da dum

Danny felt like he had to make his presence known to her. He just had to. Was he falling for his best friend? Maybe, the tinder was there, all that was needed was the right spark to light the flame.


It seems like I'm getting closer somehow
A flicker of peace that I've finally found
Thank you for believing in me now
'Cause I do need it

Well give me a year or two
And I'll mend my ways and see these mistakes and
When I see the truth

Danny broke in, singing the next line, taking her hands in his.


Well, darlin' trust me
When I can't see
I'll be coming back; I'll be coming back to you these

Sam was a bit startled but finished the song with her now visible friend. She had a loving I'm-going-to-murder-you-later-look-on-her-face, though it passed in a few brief note of Danny's singing. He was surprised he even knew the words or could sing for that matter. Well the fact was he could sing, and well at that.


Heroes and Thieves at my door
I can't seem to tell them apart anymore
Just when I've figured it out
Well, darlin' it's you
Darlin' it's you
Oh, darling it's you I'm without
Da, da, dum

Danny looked at her with a look he once gave to Paulina and Valerie. Sam blushed and waved her hand in front of his face. "You'd better go before my parents find out," she said softly. Danny could only nod. The trance like state lingered as he left.

On the way home, I left my adrenaline out. I was elated. I Was falling for Sam, but did she share my feelings? Or was she messing with me? Only time can tell.
