Chapter 12: I could help!

"No Commander! Please!" Cathy pleaded.

"No BUTS!"

Cathy was about to speak but felt a hand on her shoulder.

"Cathy don't. It's no use. This is my consequence and I have to pay for it. I deserve it after all." Danny replied, softly.

"But you don't!" Cathy said and she was on the verge to cry. Danny slipped off his V-com and placed it to where the Commander is.

Before the Commander left, he spoke. "I thought you could be trusted but I was wrong; you're no longer loyal to me." With that, he vanished along with the V-com. Danny walked towards the door.

"This isn't fair." Chris replied. "WE should also be the ones without V-coms."

"No; it's only me. You guys didn't risk your identities. Nobody did say that Life is fair." Danny said. "Besides, it wouldn't make a difference. I also own someone an apology."

The door opened and Danny walked away as Cathy cried. Chris walked over to her to comfort her.

"It's okay, Cathy. I promise we will get Danny back."

"We were supposed to look for another member." She whispered, recalling Danny's words.

-Sam's house-

The doorbell rang as he heard footsteps running down the stairs.

The door opened, revealing a medium size woman with black hair.

"You must be Danny. Sam talked a lot about you." Sam's mom said.

"Yeah, I'm Danny. But… is Sam here?"

She nodded. "She's upstairs in her bedroom. She's so upset. I don't even know why. As soon as she came, she quickly ran up to her room and shut the door. I'm not sure if she had locked it."

"Maybe I could try and comfort her." Danny said after being allowed to come in. If she still wants to talk to me but I highly doubt she won't.

"Yes please do. Go to your left when you reach the top of the stairs. Oh! Please don't take off your shoes!"

"But-"

"I insist! Just to let you know, you look rather cute." She winked as Danny sweat-dropped.

A knock was on her door.

"Go away!" A sniffle was heard.

She's just stubborn as I am. Danny opened the door and saw Sam on her bed; her knees were close to her chest as she buried her face in her hands. Danny automatically felt guilty.

"Sam…" She froze, knowing who that voice was.

"Go away! I don't want to talk to anybody especially to you!" She threw her pillow at him and it hit him in the face. He could've we caught it but he just let it.

"Sam," He repeated. "I just want to say that I'm sorry for being such a jerk… even though I'm probably still am to you. It wasn't right how I treated you. You were only trying to help me and for that I'm sorry. You can go ahead and say I'm a jerk if it makes you feel better and go ahead and yell at me."

"You're a jerk." Unexpectedly, Danny was caught off guard. He looked down to see Sam hugging him; he bend down so they could be the same height and he hugged back.

"But it's still not fair… you shouldn't be the one to be punished. I should've." Sam whispered. "What did he do to you?"

"Um… well… he took away my V-com and I'm not an MBC member anymore."

"That's so unfair!" Sam said, still feeling tears pouring out. After the hug, Danny wiped the tears away and they both looked at each other for long a time before they both started to lean towards each other until a sudden sound came which made them to break apart.

"Owww… that hurt!" The voice said. "… Where you two about to kiss?"

"WHAT! NO!" They both shouted, blushing slightly. Sam looked to see her window smashed.

"Chris? What? Why are you doing here?" Danny said as he saw Chris in pain.

"Alien."

"CHRIS!" Another voice shrilled, revealing Cathy who jumped in the room. Sam blinked.

"… How did you get up here?" Sam asked.

"I'm a great climber!" Cathy replied. "Are you okay?"

"Noo… I-I think my arm is broken." He replied, clutching his arm. Cathy removed his hand that was clutching his forearm and they gasped, seeing the blood rapidly pouring out.

"Stay here! I have an aid kit!" Sam said as Danny looked at the window.

"Uhh hurry up! The alien is coming this way!" Danny responded as Sam got up. But it's too late as the alien jumped in the room as Cathy took out her Double X, blasting at the alien. But it dodged it, making the blue streak to hit the closest. The alien then blocked the door.

"Too late puny humans!" Danny and Cathy both had their eyes wide as they saw that its weapon formed in a ball of crackling white energy.

"Wanna bet?" Before it could fire it, the alien suddenly flew to the side of the wall, being unconsciousness.

Sam's mom heard a sudden crash. What on Earth are those two doing? In front of the three, stood Sam. However the alien got up and rushed towards the window then jumped out.

"Why did it do that?" Danny asked, puzzled. Cathy shrugged.

"Maybe it wanted us to follow it." Sam suggested, placing Chris on her bed before healing his forearm. A few seconds later, Sam was done. "There."

"Thanks." Chris thanked her, earning a nod.

"I'm going to follow it. You three stay here. I'm going to capture it." Cathy said.

"What? There's no way you're going alone!" Chris retorted.

"You're injured!" Cathy pointed it out.

"Then I'm going!" Danny said next.

"NO! You're already in trouble! I don't want you to be even more!"

"Fine then! I'm going!" Sam responded.

"NO!" The three of them shouted.

"But I could help! Danny could stay here and watch over Chris!" Sam argued back.

"You saw how that alien saw no mercy! You could get even more injured!" Danny shot back; the other two were surprised to see that he cared for her still. Guess they made up.

"I don't care! I can help!" Sam protested, angrily.

"You're stubborn! I'm not letting you!" Danny argued back.

Chris and Cathy looked back and forth.

"I'm going and you can't stop me!"

"Too bad; I'm stopping you!"

"Would you guys QUIT IT?" Cathy screamed, automatically shutting the two. "Sam, you're coming with me. Danny, you're staying here with Chris! Now everybody let's MOVE IT!" Cathy ordered.

As Sam passed Danny, she made few last words. "I win!" Before jumping off to destroy the alien.

"Chris! You stay!" Danny instructed, seeing Chris trying to move away.

"Yes dad." Chris muttered.

Author's Note: We-ll, at least it's a bit longer. But poor Danny; those were some harsh words from the Commander. But at least, Danny and Sam made up! Next time: Decision Time!
