Heeeey! Hehe… Hi.

Shout out to "Kitty in Boots" for pointing out that I said, "Find out in Chapter 2" I meant chapter 1... Hehe.

So, I promised that I'll update my other stories… which I didn't. I'M SO SORRY! I AM SO WRITER'S BLOCK THAT ITS NOT EVEN FUNNY!

Okay, maybe a little.

But still! "Haunted Nightmares" is driving me INSANE! Its not even a page long! See, this is why I like making cliffhangers. It gives me ideas. It even keeps ME at the end of my seat… xD

Anyway, I read the first chapter, and I realized that my Author Notes described me in a bad mood. Even though I did include smiley faces, it still sounded like I was a little off. Sorry 'bout that. (WARNING: BOYS DON'T READ) I guess I was on my time-of-the-month… (Told ya'…)

Anyway, enjoy! :D

I do not own Danny Phantom.

A Phantom Story

Chapter 1

I sighed as I closed my packed suitcase. Leaving California, going to Amity Park. I'm going to live with my Aunt and Uncle! Super.

My Aunt and Uncle… they do bad things. They smoke, drink, and do really bad stuff I wouldn't do ever. They been this way since their kid, Toby, died in a car accident. Toby was only sixteen then. And the car accident was three years ago.

My Aunt Susan and Uncle Fred finally came into my dark purple room. They look at me with sad eyes, Aunt Susan the most. My mother and Aunt Susan were sisters. They were very close. Its hard losing a family member, isn't it? Well how about family members? Yeah, I'm having a difficult time not to cry.

Aunt Susan opened her arms wide, expecting me to hug her. I guess all she wants right now is a hug. Surprised its not a cigarette.

Even though I described them doing bad things, doesn't mean they don't understand or care. They do. If they didn't, why would they even bother bring me to their home? The world may never know…

I ran into Aunt Susan's arms, and hugged her. She hugged back. It was then I could feel the water tower breaking and tears fell beneath my eyes. My parents were gone, grandma was gone, and they weren't coming back.

"Honey, its okay. I know its hard, but we need to stay strong. They would want us to stay strong. To… move on…" Aunt Susan stated. I look up from her shoulder with my big red puffy eyes. I sniffed and wiped my nose with my black sleeve from my black midnight sweater I was currently wearing.

"Okay. I will. For them." I claimed. Aunt Susan smiled.

"Now come on," Uncle Fred started. "we got a plane to catch." I separated from Aunt Susan and went over to get my dark purple suitcase. I grabbed the hook, and lifted it from my bed. I then walked back to my Aunt and Uncle, my suitcase rolling behind me.

"Lets go." I said. My Aunt and Uncle trudged out of the room, and disappeared into the hallway. It was my turn to leave. My turn to say goodbye.

I turned my head back at the room. It looked so empty without my posters, or furniture in there. Just my plain old bed with my plain old dresser. Tears started to form in my eyes. Memories flowed through my mind. Memories of the best times of my life.

I sighed and looked away and looked at my feet. I trudged into the hallway, down the staircase. Everything seemed in like slow motion, like those movies at a sad part where the sad music plays, and everything just slows down. Seems like forever, I finally got downstairs, into the living room. Aunt Susan and Uncle Fred were standing there by the doorway, waiting for me. For the millionth time, I sighed and made my way towards them.

"Ready to go?" Aunt Susan asked. I turned my head to the room where the living room, and the kitchen were connected, and back to her.

"I guess I am," I muttered. Aunt Susan and Uncle Fred frowned at each other, and shrugged. Yep, there was no way to cheer me up.

When we go outside, I made my way towards the limo that was waiting for us. Yes, my Aunt and Uncle are rich. What a surprise.

The limo guy opened the car door for me. I thank him with a nod and get in. My Aunt and Uncle not far behind.

I sit by the window as my Aunt and Uncle sit by the other window, across from me. I then feel a buzz come from my jeans. I take it out, and see I have a call from Rebecca. Isn't she suppose to be in school right now?

I hit the answer button. I put the phone to my ear.

"Aren't you suppose to be in school right now?" I asked.

"Why, that wasn't a pleasant hello." Rebecca teased. I rolled my eyes.

You see, Rebecca is my best friend. We been friends since Kindergarten. We stood by each other's side for a very long time. Kindergarten to Junior year. Of course, now during Junior year, I have to move, which leaves Rebecca all alone.

"Whatever," I said. "So, what's up?"

"Where are you?" she asked.

"In a limo to go to Amity Park to live with my Aunt and Uncle, remember?" I remind her. I could see her doing a face palm. Yep, that's how well I know her.

"Oh… right. The incident… but will I ever see you again?" she choked out. I closed my eyes. A single tear escaped. Her voice hurt me.

Rebecca and I never got split up before. Yeah, we had fights, and didn't talk to each other for several days, but this seems like it will be forever. I bit my lip. I know what I should do. I then finally spoke.

"Becky?" I called her by her nickname.

"Yeah, Sam?"

"I think we should move on and find new friends." I admitted, my heart breaking.

"WHAT?" Rebecca screeched. "ARE YOU CRAZY?"

"I'm sorry Rebecca, but it seems like we're going to be apart for a long time. And lets face it, even if I didn't tell you this, we would eventually move on and find better friends." I explained. I heard Rebecca sigh.

"I-I guess your right. I guess this is goodbye?" Rebecca asked.

"I guess it is. Rebecca, you been the best friend I ever had. I'll never forget you. You stuck up for me when a bully was trying to pull me down. You stayed by my side for several years, and I couldn't ask for a better friend like you. I will NEVER forget you. Okay? Never." I vowed. I could hear Rebecca sobbing.

"S-Sam, you're the best friend I ever had, too. You're strong, different, and the sweetest person I ever met. You stuck up for me too. You comforted me, and made me laugh every time I was feeling down. You're a sister to me. And I can't ask for a better friend like you, either. I'll never forget you too. My gosh Sam, I would never." Rebecca vowed. Tears slid down my face and I felt something stuck in my throat.

"B-bye Rebecca."

"Bye Sam…"

And I end the conversation. I put my phone back into my pocket, and look out the window. Unaware of my Aunt and Uncle hearing the whole conversation. I sighed and leaned my head on the window. I close my eyes and flashbacks begin to come.

-FLASHBACK-

I sat at the cafeteria, all alone. No one liked me because I was different. I eat my salad slowly and put my elbow on the table with my head on my hand while eating. Just then a brunette girl sat down across from me.

She had big brown eyes, and had a big smile on her face. She had a purple lunch box, which matched mine.

"Hi, my name is Rebecca. What's yours?" The young girl asked. I lifted my head from my hand and look down at my salad.

"Sam." I muttered.

"Well hello there Sammy! Why are you sitting here by yourself?" she asked.

"Because no one likes me," I replied.

"Why? You seem pretty cool to me!"

"Because I'm different. People don't like people who are different." I answered.

"Well I think being different is unique." Rebecca admitted. I lifted my head up to look at her. She had a smile on her face and looked harmless. And for once, I smiled.

"You think so?" I asked.

"I know so." was her reply.

-END OF FLASHBACK-

I opened my eyes with a start. Did I just dream of a memory? I guess I did. I smile at the memory. It was almost the best moment of my life. Meeting the person I became friends with for several years. The best years of my life.

I look at the window. It was still light outside. I take out my phone and check what time it was. 3:10. We left at 2:30. It takes an 1 hour ride to get to the airport. I sighed and put my phone back in my pocket. I looked at my Aunt and Uncle who were just staring into the world. It was then the limo stopped.

"We're here." The driver informed us. He then got out of the car, and opened the right door. Aunt Susan and Uncle Fred got out and went to the trunk. I then got out also, and followed them to the trunk.

I then got out my purple suitcase and I rushed inside the airport. My Aunt and Uncle followed.

Once we got to the counter, we got our tickets, and went to the line where we get in the plane.

Once that was all over, I took my seat by a window. My Aunt and Uncle right beside me. The waitress asks if we need anything, but we say we're fine. So I do what I always do if I'm on a plane. I take my iPod out to listen to music, lean my head back towards the seat, and close my eyes. This was my first plane ride. My first plane ride without my parents by my side.

Ha. I told you it'll be long ;)

Was it sad? I actually felt emotional writing this chapter. I really can relate to this. Well, the best-friends-getting-separated part xD

You know, I really have a best friend I had since Kindergarten. We're still friends today! Even though we go to separate schools now…

Anyway, what's gonna happen? Will Sam meet new friends? Will Sam and Rebecca's friendship still last? Find out in Chapter 2! :D
