I won't say your names so non of you guys will skip the answers that will probably help you throughout the story. Answer: Danny is not going to be a ghost in this story since this story is about mermaids. Answer 2: Danny is noticing feelings for Sam, but there's a reason he's starting to have those feelings. Review please!
Sam was on her date with Elliot. Sam had the greatest time with her new boyfriend. They went to a movie called Lord of the Drenched. Sam liked the movie and she liked being with Elliot. Although, he never talked much, Sam still enjoyed herself.
After the movie. Sam started to talk to Elliot and they had a great conversation. When the two teenagers got out of the movie theater, Sam started asking Elliot a question.
"Hey Elliot, have you kissed a girl before?"
"I have, but that was some time ago. I was young," Elliot told Sam as she smiled.
"Thanks for the movie. I had a great time," Sam thanked Elliot before giving him a deep kiss. Elliot kissed Sam back, and then they parted.
"There's a school dance tomorrow. If you want to we can go together."
"That'd be great, but I don't have a ticket and they're sold out."
"Oh. I'm sorry."
"It's ok," Sam smiled before saying her goodbyes and leaving. "Wow."
Meanwhile, Danny was in his room looking at the floor. He was waiting for Sam to return so he could sneak her through the guest window. While Danny was waiting, he was thinking about what Sam was doing right now. She was probably having a wonderful time with Elliot and being human. Danny still wondered why he felt so sad.
Jazz entered into Danny's room with a curious expression.
"You waiting for something?" Jazz asked.
"Not really," Danny said before lying on his bed.
"Thinking about her?"
"Who?"
"You know, that girl you invited. You like her don't you?"
"Jazz, she's my friend, of coarse I like her."
"Not like that. I mean really like her."
Danny's eyebrows rose. Danny remembered all the things him and Sam did together. Danny remembered when Sam first saved him from drowning and the first time she made him go inside the water. There were so many memories that filled his mind. Danny and Sam were the best of friends and they did everything together. Danny would bring human food and objects. He knew there was a bond him and his friend had that could never be torn apart, but was there love too?
"I don't know," Danny muttered as Jazz rose her eyebrows.
"What do you mean you don't know?" Jazz asked confusingly.
"I don't know if I like Sam that much or not. There are curtain feelings I have for her that can't be taken away, but I'm not sure if there's love somewhere in there."
Jazz couldn't understand what Danny had meant. He had only met the girl yesterday, right? Jazz started getting the feeling that Danny was keeping something to himself or at least from his own family. Jazz went to her brother's side.
"Is there something you want to tell me?" Jazz asked.
"Not really," Danny answered as he heard a sound on his bedroom window.
"What was that?"
"Probably nothing. Listen, can I be alone for a bit?"
"Ok."
Jazz exited out of the room and closed the door. Danny sighed in relief as he opened the window to help Sam inside the guest room.
"I need you to be really quiet," Danny whispered as he help Sam through the window.
"My date was unbelievable. Elliot even asked me to the dance, but I can't go. The tickets are sold out," Sam told Danny quietly. He nodded and gave Sam a ticket to the school dance. "Danny, where'd you get this?"
"It's my ticket and I want you to have it."
"Danny, you don't have to give up your own ticket just so I can be with Elliot. What happened to your stupid comments about me flirting with boys?"
"Eh, I don't need that ticket. I only wanted to go to the dance to see if Paulina liked me or not, but I've already gotten over her."
Sam smiled and gave Danny a hug before tucking herself into bed. Danny went through the window and back into his room. He knew that time he was in love with Sam. Danny had just given Sam his own ticket to the dance and never even teased her about her and her new boyfriend. There was something that developed when Sam changed human and Danny knew he would face another rejection. He sighed very deeply before smacking his face with a pillow.
Danny just laid in bed while watching the moon shine it's face the whole night.
Meanwhile, back in the ocean, Valerie went up to the cave where Sam would normally meet Danny. There was no sign of the two, but there was some sort of clue. Valerie had spotted a towel and Sam's top on the cave ground. She wasn't sure what, but something told Valerie that something has happened to Sam. Was she caught? Did the humans find the cave and captured her? What about Danny? There wasn't any sign of him anywhere.
"Sam! Danny!" Valerie called while lifting herself up to the cave floor. "Sam! Danny! Are you here?"
Nobody answered and Valerie was scared like she had never been scared before. Finally, Valerie had found another clue after dragging herself around for several minutes. She had found a blood stain on the towel. Although, the blood was weird looking, because the color was a red-brown. There was also some curly black hair on the towel too. There was probably a struggle and the towel was to stop the bleeding, but why was the blood brownish. There were unanswered questions through Valerie's head.
King Jeremy appeared from the water, but not before him and Valerie heard a sound from the cave.
"Quick, hide," Valerie whispered as the mermaids laid low below the cave ground to where nobody could see them.
Jeremy recognized one of the humans that came in. He was big, fat, and wore an orange jumpsuit of some sort. The other human was new to him.
"Hey Maddie! I think someone got hurt. There's blood on the towel!" Jack told his wife while showing the blood stain.
"Jack, that's period blood," Maddie told her husband in discust before furrowing her eyebrows in curiosity. "Now why would a woman be using this and not pads?"
"Maddie! A mermaid was here!" Jack announced while showing Sam's top. "Although, I think she decided to change her clothes. Now why a mermaid would be changing them in a cave is beyond me."
"There's only one way to find out if this belongs to a mermaid or not, Jack. We need to test it for mermaid DNA. Hm, Danny hangs around here a lot. I wonder if he has anything to do with our mermaid's visits here,"
"Na, that's crazy. Now why would our son be friends with a mermaid? Next thing you know, you'll be saying he's fallen in love with a mermaid! HA!" Jack said before him and his wife left the cave.
"That's Danny's father?" Jeremy questioned surprisingly.
"You know that guy?" Valerie said surprised.
"Of coarse I know him! His buddies destroyed my kingdom, or at least half of it. Although, I think this guy was involved."
"You've been on the surface before?"
"Where do you think Sam gets her curiosity of the human world from?" Jeremy sighed guiltily. "I just hope we really can trust Danny despite who his father is. Like I even have a choice."
