elise-hale913, I am glad that you enjoyed the chapter. I hope you continue to find this story emotional and enthralling. Hellbreaker, lol. Thanks. That makes me feel better and you are right. Heroes think of what they want, but like I said some can find a way to save both parties. TheHowlingWhiteFox, thank you for adding this story to your alerts. ShadowDragon357, yeah and I am going to bawl my eyes out when I have to write that. I already dread writing such a sad scene because every story that I write I get so caught up in the story and the feelings of the characters.
Present...
Sam smiled as she and Dan lay on her bed, their hands behind their heads as they gazed up at the ceiling. She looked at him, her eyes glowing.
"Dan, what will happen to you? Will you just fade away?" The ghost next to her stiffened before turning his green orbs to her. They looked just like Danny's own phantom eyes that she almost pinched herself to make sure she was with Dan and not her halfa friend. They were one in the same, but for some reason Dan was more thoughtful then her friend There were times he would do something that was so Danny that she was sure she was back with her old friend. So much had happened in the years after Dan had been put in the thermos.
"I am not sure to say the least," the ghost said as he looked at her, her eyes shinning with tears. He knew that she would miss him, but he had never had anyone cry over him, not even Sam had cried for him. He reached out and touched her cheek as a single tear escaped. She had never had any reason to cry for him had she? He had never been in any real danger because she and Tucker had been there.
"So, do you remember Ember McLame?" she asked with a chuckle. Dan looked at her in confusion. What the hell was going on? She had just been so sad and now she was on a whole other topic. "You were such a sap!" she said before she broke out in giggles. "Oh, this is just like Romeo and Juliet,- " she whispers dramatically as she then points to herself. -except I'm the one on the balcony, and I can understand everything we're saying!" Again she broke out in giggles as Dan glowered at her before a smirk of absolute evil appears on his face as he turned to her. She looked perplexed as her giggling cut off. "What?"
"What about the fact that you kissed Dash?" he inquired with a cock of his brows. He was really not happy about that one kiss not aware of the one by Gregor or Elliot as was his real name, but he plays it off and chuckles at the look on her face.
"Eww, no not something I ever want to remember! I can still taste that nasty taste of failure!" she wails as she cringes. Dan smiles now, his heart aching as he watches his childhood friend get up to brush her teeth. "Thanks! I had just gotten over that like last year!" she screamed from the bathroom. He missed his friend and even wished now that he had taken a chance with her. What was his younger self thinking now? Was he banging his head on a wall?
Indeed Danny was doing just that!
"What is wrong with me?" Bang! His head crashed into the wall again as he now felt the headache from earlier return. Dan Phantom was right and that was one thing that he never thought he would admit. His evil half was the good guy in this situation. He hadn't even noticed that his friend from childhood had liked him or had he noticed it and had just blown it off. There was that one time when they had been in the specter speeder and the tingle he had gotten when Sam had grabbed his hands to warm them. He had blown it off as the warmth hitting the cold of his own hands, but had that really been all it was? There was the whole thing with Ember too, but he had been under a spell. Then in his mind he saw her turn and kiss Dash Baxter on the lips and the feeling that he had felt from that day welled up in him. Were those feelings from that too? The fear? The anger? The jealousy? Were those things from the spell or were those his feelings? If he really looked back he couldn't even think of why he had like the Hispanic girl in school or Valerie even. Had those been true feelings of love or just infatuation. Had he been trying to put the feelings he had had for Sam off on other girls? What the hell was wrong with him?!
Had his feelings just been misplaced. He had fallen for Paulina, but only on her looks and the fact that she was unattainable while Valerie, he had no idea why the ghost hunter appealed to him. He had been mad that Tucker had fallen for the girl hunting him, but then for some reason he had fallen victim to her! What was wrong with him and these women he had fallen for?! Everyone of them was the exact opposite of Sam in every way! Were his girlfriends all right?! Did he really cheat on them with Sam? They had never said her name, but they may have well said it because that was who he had found himself thinking about every day. She had entered his thoughts about where she was and what she was doing. He had thought about who she was with on more than one occasion and had punched a hole in his wall too.
