Sam sighed. Ever since Danny left, she became depressed and bored. All the ghosts that Vlad had hired, were being taken care of by Dora's warriors, which meant that she couldn't go ghost hunting, like she would usually be doing if Danny were still here. So now she was closed in her room sitting on her bed, with Tucker across from her, spinning around on her computer chair.

'What do teenagers who aren't friends with a half-ghost do for fun?... What did we used to do for fun before Danny got his powers?'

Tucker sighed, apparently as depressed and bored as Sam was. "Let's go to the movies. Maybe it'll help take our mind off things." He suggested.

"I guess..." She got up from the bed, and stepped into her combat boots. "What's playing?"

"Rain Forest Demolition 3 just came out, I know you don't like seeing the rain forest being demolished, but...please?"

Sam let out an exasperated sigh. "Alright, I suppose we can see it if you feel like you have to." She said grudgingly.

"ALRIGHT!" Tucker sprung up from the chair and ran out the door, leaving Sam standing in the middle of the room with her arms crossed.

"Three, two ,one" At that moment, Tucker came back through the door, looking more than a little bit embarrassed.

"It doesn't start for another hour" He sat back on the computer chair and resumed spinning, pretending as though nothing had never happened.

"Well, we have to do something. Why don't we go to the arcade? We'll play some video games to get our minds off Danny."

"Yeah, and I can totally cream you until the movie starts!"

"Dream on, Tuck. Last one there pays!" She called taking advantage of Tucker's sitting position, and running to get a head start.

"Hey, no fair!, I'm still dizzy!" he called after her. He attempted to run after her, but crashed into the door frame as a result of rushing while he was dizzy. He tried again, slower this time, and successfully got into the hallway. Sam was no longer there. He would never catch up now.

His dizziness was gone by the time he got out of the mansion. He could finally see Sam, but she was way ahead of him still. He started to run after her but he knew he would lose. Sam was in way better shape than he was.

He crossed the street and got to the arcade door where Sam was waiting for him.

"YOU CHEATER! I'm not going to pay just because you cheated!"

Sam smiled. "You don't have any money do you?"

"...No..."

"Well then, I guess I would be paying whether I cheated or not. I'll still beat you though."

"I don't think so!" he ran into the arcade, followed closely by Sam. They ran to the nearest two player game, and Sam inserted two quarters. They played like this for a long time, before Sam looked at her watch. "Oh my gosh Tucker we're late for the movie!"She said and took off.

When they got outside, they were greeted by a blast hitting the street not more than five feet away from them. They fell back, shocked by the sudden attack. Sam immediately sprung into action, dodging out of the way of a second blast that the giant ghost monster shot at them.

One of Dora's warriors was hacking at it with their sword, and the monster was shooting at him. The warrior would move out of the way, causing the shots to miss and almost hit Sam and Tucker. Finally the warrior noticed and moved the fight down the street a little.

"Come on Sam, let's go!" Sam looked back at the fight, but reluctantly followed Tucker. She always did hate to be the one on the sidelines.

They approached the movies, out of breath from running, and ran up to the counter. There was no line since all the movies had already started. "Two for Rain Forest demolition please"

"I can give them to you now, but the move started about twenty minutes ago. We'll be playing Rain Forest Demolition again at 8:00. I saw it, and you have to see the very beginning in order to get it, so I suggest you come and see the late one.

"Okay, thanks man. I'll see you later."

They walked out of the movies and down the street. "Tucker, where are we going? Are we really going to the 8:00 one?" Sam asked.

"Well sure, why not? In the meantime though, we have to find something to do, and I'm hungry. Let's go to the Nasty Burger."

Sam just followed Tucker to the Nasty Burger, and ordered her tofu melt, while Tucker ordered his disgusting mighty mighty meaty meal. They sat down, and talked as they ate.

Soon they finished their meals, but they were quite content so they kept talking. They talked about things that had happened in elementary school, and things that they should have said to the middle school bully, and stuff like that.

By the time they were got to the movies, they had gotten their minds completely off of Danny. They bought their tickets, and went into the movie.

"That was a longer movie than I thought! It lasted for three and a half hours!" Tucker said once they got out.

"Well, we've been through worse, right?"

"I suppose" said Tucker, then he added, "It's 11:30, I should get home before my 12:00 curfew." And he walked in the direction of his house.

"Oh my gosh! My parents! I'm so gonna get it." Sam only had a 10:00 curfew because her parents were so overprotective. She ran home.

She entered through the front door quietly. If she was lucky, her parents would have gone to sleep already, and she wouldn't have to sleep through a lecture.

No such luck.

The lights turned on and revealed her parents sitting on the couch, looking rather angry. And the lecture began.

When her parents were finally done, Sam was really upset. She was grounded for a two months. One for being late, and another for talking back to her parents. That was the last straw. She'd had it with her parents. Danny and Tucker were the only reason she was still living with them. She turned on her computer and emailed Tucker.

She was going to find Danny, and nothing was going to stop her. She gathered the stuff she was going to take with her, such as some food from the stash she kept in her room, a credit card her parents gave her for emergencies (or to buy pink dresses, whichever came first), some extra clothes, and she put it all in her spider backpack.

She climbed out her window, and took off for the edge of Amity Park.

Sorry this chapter was kind of boring, but I had to lead up to the reason why Sam left, and I'm not very creative. Thank you SO much Dpcrazy, Hordak's Pupil, Thunderstorm101, New Ghost Girl, Luiz4200, Defender of the Light, and TexasDreamer01, for being so nice to me and reviewing! I would offer you cookies, but all the writers do that, so it's kinda overused. Not that I wouldn't bake you all cookies, but I don't know where to send the cookies once they're done, and it always disappoints me when someone says they'll give me cookies if I review and I never get the cookies... yeah...
