Hey everybody sorry for leaving you hanging to find out how Sam got back her beloved starburst so… here you go.

Chapter 3: Phantom

"AHH MOMMY! I WANT MY MOMMY!!" Danny screamed as he ran out of the dinning room with Sam at his heels.

"Get back here and give me back my starburst!" Sam yelled. But Danny just kept running, wanting his life more than anything else at the moment. Finally, after much running, Sam had Danny backed up in a corner with no place to run. Suddenly Danny saw a way to use this to his advantage.

"Fine you want it back? Come and take it." He pushed the starburst out so that it was showing between his lips. She reached out to take it with her hand but he grabbed her hands and pinned them behind her back, making her lean against his chest in the process.

"Now that wouldn't be fair…" He smiled at her "You have to take it the same way I took it from you."

"Fine then you can keep it." Sam couldn't believe she had just said that…was she really going to give up her starburst that easily. She took one look at his lips, remembering how they had felt against hers, and the answer came to her fast. Of course she was…damn the starburst. But Danny had other ideas, with her lost in thought it would be so easy. He leaned down and kissed her slipping the starburst as well as his tongue into her mouth slowly…extra, extra slowly, making the moment last. Sam froze in his arms, obviously never being in a situation like this before. Danny held one side of her head, wrapped an arm around her waist and flipped them around, shoving Sam up against the wall. He parted lips with her for only a moment to catch his breath then back at the kiss. He couldn't believe how much she made him want her, right up to the point that it was insane. It was only the third day into the competition and he already found a girl that he liked…well more than liked he was obsessed and addicted. He possessively ran a hand through her hair, along her jaw line and down her neck. Suddenly he felt himself being ripped away from her and being dragged out of the room.

"Come on Danny time to stop kissing girls and work on your powers." Tucker said as he hauled the young man out the door. Danny winked at the still stunned Sam before allowing himself to dragged off.

'Did he just do…what I …think he did?' Sam hesitantly tasted the starburst that Danny had just returned to her in such a passionate way. 'He did…didn't he?' she touched her lips and smiled.

"HEY wait a minute… he did?!" she was stunned "HE JUST KISSED ME…AGAIN?"

Sam stormed back up to her room closing the door with an angry slam. She didn't even bother to come out for the rest of the day.

At midnight that same evening Sam climbed out of bed in frustration. She couldn't get to sleep. She tiredly ran a hand through her hair and decided to take a walk. She put on her clothes and phased outside, landing in one of the gardens. As she walked she was completely unaware of the pair of baby blue eyes that never left her form. She put her hands in her pockets breathing deeply as she kicked a pebble along in front of her while she walked. She dropped down beside an oak tree, leaning against it and closing her eyes. She reopened them and looked out over the calm lake in front of her. She stared at it for a long time before a voice pulled her from her blank thoughts.

"Take a picture, it'll last longer."

"What the…" Sam found herself staring at the boy that appeared floating before her. He had snow white hair and glowing green eyes. He was wearing a black and white jumpsuit with a DP symbol on his chest. He smiled at her warmly, touched down and stuck out his hand.

"Hi I'm Phantom," he shook hands with her "Mind if I sit down?"

Sam shrugged and moved over giving room to sit down beside her. The temperature dropped when he eased himself down unto the ground…the guy was freezing cold.

"So what's your name?" Phantom asked.

"It's Sam short for Samantha."

"Oh so you're the one the prince has his eyes on, right?" he leaned against the tree. Sam ran a hand through her hair in exhaustion, catching and holding his attention way too easily "Unfortunately…yes."

"Getting his attention is pretty hard, the only person who has gotten it is…well…you." Phantom shrugged "He doesn't like shallow witches."

"Hmph at least we have that in common." Sam muttered then shivered at Phantom's coldness. He noticed this and smiled slightly "Sorry I can't exactly be warm."

"It's okay I can relate to that."

"How so?" he raised an eyebrow at her.

"I have some ice powers and I'm also…well I'm kinda half dead." She put her hands behind her head talking like it was no big deal.

"You've got to be kidding," he said with a smile "I thought me and the prince were the only ones around."

Suddenly a blue mist escaped Phantom's lips and he groaned in annoyance. "Sorry Sam but I gotta go. I'll um….see you later?"

"Yeah I'll see you later." Sam watched him fly off, she had the feeling she would be seeing more of Phantom whether she wanted to or not. After about another hour or so Sam picked herself up and went back to her room.

Floating a mere foot above her as she walked was Phantom. He had returned a moment after he had left, completely unknown to her. After she went into her room he phased up to his own, finally content enough to fall into a dreamless sleep after transforming.

Well there you go found out how Sam got back her starburst and how the story is gonna get a little twisted. Watch out for chapter 4: Phantom's lips.
