The branch Danny was sitting on began to shake. "Who's there?" he asked. Sam pulled herself up.
"A friend." Her violet eyes seemed to ask if she could come up. In response, Danny put out his hand and pulled her up the rest of the way. For a while they sat in silence. Naturally it was Sam who broke it. "I've never seen you run that fast. Must be a new record." Danny managed a small smile.
"I don't know. What about the time Dash put those worms in my gym shorts? I bet my feet barely touched the ground." Sam burst out laughing.
Still laughing, she choked out "What…about…the time… Jazz came at you… with the scissors?" Danny was laughing now too. Soon they were both clutching their sides. Their laughter died down when their eyes met. Electric blue stared into vibrant violet. Slowly, carefully, they moved forwards until their faces were only centimeters apart. Danny took a deep breath.
"Sam, I-" both of them jumped back when Danny's ghost sense went off. "I gotta go," he whispered. If Sam looked at him she would have seen the pain in his eyes. Silently he went ghost and flew off. He could already hear the Box Ghost boasting. But what he heard loudest was his own thought, So close.
Angrily wiping tears out of her eyes, Sam jumped down from the tree. She sighed. He was so close to saying those three words she needed to hear. "So close," she whispered. "So close."
Awwww… First I give him braces, and then he's interrupted when he finally goes to kiss Sam… Wait till you read the next two chapters! Chapter 3, Dreams,is coming up next!
