Chapter 12-Dysfunctional Angel

Sam decided to take Danny to a secluded area so she could teach him to behave without stealing bikes.

She brought with her a red wagon, and in it, she put a squirt bottle. When they got to the area Sam was looking for, a little ways away from civilization, she took a stick and waved it in his face, then threw it (IDK why; he's a kid, and kids don't chase sticks, but whatever). Danny just scowled and looked away.

Sam pointed to the stick, and when Danny still didn't move, she grabbed the squirt bottle, and sprayed him with it. Immediately, he glared up at her. But he didn't move, so Sam squirted him a few more times. Danny got frustrated and grabbed it from her and threw it as far as he could. Sam watched it fly away.

She glared at him for a second, then started after it. Danny smiled, seeing his plan work.

Sam left the secluded area and went to a park to eat some lunch her sister brought her; a sandwich. Danny tried to grab a sandwich, but Jazz closed the lid of the box, and shook her finger at him, "Ah-ah," she said. Danny got mad, and got ready to punch her. But then he heard Vlad cough.

He looked over his shoulder to see Vlad and Maddie disguised, and Vlad half pulled out a plasma gun from a paper bag, then put it back in, showing that if Danny did anything wrong, he would shoot him.

Danny groaned in exasperation and went to Sam and hugged her. She was a little surprised, but smiled.

After lunch, Sam and Danny walked down the beach, on the sand. Sam found a beautiful pink shell and picked it up. When she showed Danny, he hit it out of her hands. Sam looked at it a second before a volleyball came and hit Danny's head. A man said, "Hey! Over here, little buddy!"

Danny got mad (He got mad a lot), and grabbed the ball. As the man approached, Danny threw it at the man, and the man staggered and fell. He sat up and glared at Danny, who dove next to Sam; she was his shield, and nothing could hurt him as long as she was near. "Ha ha!" Danny crowed at the man

Sam then decided to get some shaved ice for her and Danny. Sam got them, then went to Danny, who was flipping through some postcards. She handed him one, and he opened his mouth and smeared the ice all over his tongue.

Suddenly, a dog approached and sniffed Danny. Danny overreacted and smashed the ice on the dogs' head "Ju-ju, pa dita,"he said, then threw the postcards at it as it ran away.

Sam took his arm and led him away.

As they were walking, Danny saw a little spaceship (You know, like the ones that used to be in front of grocery stores, for little kids, that cost like 25ยข)

Danny got excited and ran into it, trying to pull on the plastic steering wheel. Sam slowly walked up to it, put in a quarter, then climbed in just as it started to rock back and forth. Danny looked around for a bit, then played dead, lying half out of the ship

Vlad and Maddie were sitting nearby at a table. Vlad laughed and said, "When you're ready to give up, just let us know, OK?"

"Whee!" Sam cried as she stood in the ship and tried to steady herself of the makeshift wheel. Danny groaned as he laid across the ship.
