Chapter 9: Reunion

Sam gulped as she looked up the road to the castle. It wasn't that she was scared . . . she just . . . wasn't so sure about her idea now . . . She had a backpack that carried gifts for the boys. She knew that Tucker was a techno-geek so she had brought him a PDA that wasn't even out on the market yet . . . well . . . except to her because of her parents. As for Danny and Phantom . . . they seemed pretty alike so she had gotten them a laptop, since they didn't seem to have one, with the latest version of Doomed installed.

Sam shook her head. She had already got gifts for the boys! She was going up there! She headed up the trail as the sun sank lower in the sky, starting to set, unaware that she was being followed . . .

In the castle Tucker was sitting at the control panel, bored out of his wits. Nothing interesting had happened since that Sam girl came and left. He played on his PDA, glancing over at the screens. Screen 1: Hallway – Normal. Screen 2: Hallway with Danny flying down it as a ghost – Normal. Screen 3: Driveway with Sam walking up it – Norma . . . "Wait, what?!" he asked as he sat up straight and zoomed in on the driveway. On the second screen, he saw Danny change from ghost to human as the sun went down out of the corner of his eye. His attention, however, was fixed on the goth girl that was hesitating in front of their front door. He grinned. "And Danny said we'd never see her again." he mumbled to himself triumphantly before heading out of the control room to go get Danny. As he left, he never noticed the second figure that came onto the screen . . .

Sam hesitated at the front door before pushing it open and smiling as she went inside. "Danny? Tucker? Phantom?" she called out, hoping that the doors wouldn't slam shut behind her once she was in. To her great relief, they stayed open. She frowned, however at the lack of inactivity in the castle. "Jeeze. I make all this trouble to see them again, and no one's even here." she huffed.

"Sam?!"

Danny sighed in something of relief when the blue rings appeared around his waist and he changed back into a human. However, since he had been flying previously, he fell face first into the floor. "Oof . . ." he muttered as he got up and held his head. "I need to remember not to fly so close to sunset." he muttered as he got up and then heard someone calling for him and Tucker . . . He walked towards the voice, wondering where he had heard it before and as he rounded a corner, he saw someone he wasn't ever expecting to see again. "Sam?!"

The goth girl looked up and smiled. "Hey! Long time no see!" she said, grinning.

Danny's jaw dropped. "Wh-what are you doing up here?!" he asked incredulously.

Sam frowned, "What? I can't visit my friends?" she asked with a roll of her eyes.

Danny smiled and then was tackled by his techno geek friend as he shook him by the shoulders. "Dude! Danny! Sam's back! I saw her coming up the driveway in the-"

He was cut off by Sam clearing her throat as she raised an eyebrow at him. Danny pushed Tucker off of him. "Yeah, I kinda noticed." he said as he got up, chuckling nervously.

Sam then remembered her backpack. "Oh yeah, I'd thought it be a nice gesture to bring you guys something." she said as she took off her backpack and pulled out the PDA. "Tucker." she said as she held it out for him.

Tucker's eyes widened as he dashed over and grabbed the PDA. "Holy . . ." he said as his eyes drank it in. "This isn't even out on the market yet! How'd you get it?!" he asked incredulously.

Sam gave a wry smile. "Oh, I have my ways." she said ambiguously. She then reached into her backpack again and pulled out the laptop. "And this is for Danny and Phantom. It has the latest version of Doomed installed." she said as she held it out to Danny who walked over and took it hesitantly. "You . . . uh . . . didn't need to do this you know . . ." he said and then froze as he heard a voice that he never thought he would ever hear again.

"Danny?" Jazz Fenton asked softly, her head poking around the door as she looked in with wide, disbelieving eyes.
