Okay let me tell some of you something about my story...THIS IS NOT A Danny X Raven STORY! GOT IT! It's a Danny X Sam. To be honest, I'm not that big of a fan of DxR stories. I like Danny and Sam better, so for those of you who were saying that it should be Raven he is with (or even hinting it) Than lay off! This is MY STORY!! I'll do it however the hell I want with it...If you like Danny x Raven, Than go write you own F*ckin story then -_- Got it? Good.

Dan Muse: Damn she's mad...

Me: Well how the hell would you feel about repeating yourself about that subject.

Dan Muse: Point. Although, I would be a bit more violent.

Me: This isn't about you, Daniel. This is me venting my irritation, not you.

Dan Muse: *raises his hands in submission* Alright, Alright. Don't bite my head off, Little Mouse. Maybe you should get back to the story *mutters to himself* Maybe I'm rubbing off on her a little too much...

Me: What was that?

Dan Muse: Oh, Nothing!

Me: Uh Huh...anyways, let's be get back to introductions. Yes, Thing's have managed to calm down some more at my house, but I will still be a little late with updating. So I have finally gotten the time to work on this story again, and it nearly coming to a close. So only a few more chapters and then we are done. And I still have no plans for a Sequel. But if you are looking for more stories by me; then check out my new story called Phantom Ranger - A Danny Phantom and Ranger's Apprentice crossover. I'm the first one to do that type of crossover.

Now, Back to the story.

~ I Do Not Own Danny Phantom or the Teen Titans ~

Chapter 33 - Choice

Danny's POV

After I had called all the Titans back into the room, I had explained to them what Clockwork told me. They were all excited for me, even Raven seemed pleased that I was going to get somebody from my old life back.

I smiled as they all congratulated me...again. Starfire pulled me into a bone crushing hug, causing me to gasp in pain and for breath. "That is glorious news, Friend Danny!"

"Star...fire...need...air...please!" I gasped tried to push the strong alien away from me.

"Opps!" she said and quickly let me go allowing me to double over slightly with my arms wrapped around my chest in pain. "I'm so sorry, Friend Danny...I believe the earth phrase goes...My own strength I do not know?"

Robin smiled at her misuse of the phrase. "That's 'I don't know my own strength', Star. But good try."

We all smiled at that. I chuckled weakly. "It's fine. I've had worse than that."

Danielle giggle and gave me a more gentle hug. "Don't I know it. But congradulation Danny! I'm looking forward to seeing who you're going to bring back again."

Then the one question I hadn't through about was asked.

"So who are you going to bring back?" Beast Boy asked with a wide grin. All of the other Titans and Danielle nodded, also curious to know about my choice.

I hesitated and looked down at the ground between my feet. "I...I don't know yet. I haven't figured that out." I sighed before glancing back up at them. "I was so excited with the chance to bring someone back...That I didn't think of who to chose..."

They all smiled sadly at me, unsure if they should say anything. Raven was the one that spoke up. "The choice is all up to you Danny, and no matter that choice...we will all be here to support you and the one you pick, no matter what. Might I suggest going through all the things about your friends, and figuring out which one you would be more happier with?"

I looked at Raven and smiled. She held her emotionless face, but I could see a small twitch at the corner of her mouth. "That's good advice. I might use that. Mind If I have some Time alone to sort through my thoughts? When I figure everything out, I'll call you back into here."

They all nodded and started to file out of the room. Danielle gave me another quick hug and a small amount of advice of her own. "We all look forward to who you choose, no matter who you bring back." before zipping out of the room too, giving me one last glance before I was alone. I sighed and leaned back on the bed and stared up at the ceiling, doing just what Raven suggested. Going through my thoughts.

I first came to Mom. Mom was one of the most caring mothers I knew. A bit obsessive, yes, But still a loving and caring mother. I honestly feared for any ghost afterlife if they tried to harm me, Jazz or Dad, because she would fight them tooth and nail to keep all of us safe. She was rather very deadly too with her sharp shooter aim and her 9th degree black belt skills, she was more of a threat to my ghost half than anyone else-that and Valarie.

She was my mother... she brought me into this world, care of me when I was sick, taught me many of my moral, and never stopped loving me even when she found out about my secret those few times in the time stream. The Reality Gauntlet fight, and The Ecto-acne incident where I went back in time to save my friends from death. I still remember those words she told me after I saved them from Freakshow. 'We love you, sweety. You!' Dad's reply was 'Whether you're ghost, boy, or something in between.'

Dad was the next on my mind. He was just as loving as mom, but could be a bit of a goof-up sometimes. But that was something that made him who he was. He was funny, loving, caring and yet dangerous big old Teddy Bear to the family. He was the man that taught me about ghost from the day of my birth. Most of his theories were wrong, but some of them were true as well.

But a sudden thought occurred to me. I couldn't just bring one of them back...It was proper and honorable to let them rest in peace together...so...that marked them off my list on who to bring back.

I closed my eyes and sighed softly, moving on to my sister Jazz. My annoying, over protective sister, that always watched my back during my ghost fight out in the town. She would always be there to make a cover story for my when I was missing or late getting home...most of the time. She was perhaps the smartest person in the whole house hold, including mom. He had just as many fun times together as we did bad. She was always there for me, just like I was for her...till explosion.

But I remember Jazz words a few months before the accident. She said that if she died. Let her rest in peace because it was meant for her to be that way. It made me wonder if she was anticipating this day, but I knew that was impossible...so I decided to honor her wishes and mark her off my list as well.

That left Sam and Tucker...So I started with Sam. The girl that had stolen my heart in freshman year. I loved her sense of humor, her smile, her independence, her eyes, everything about her...was what took my heart. I remember everyone calling us 'lovebirds' and my parents were even in on it as well. I remembered when Dad gave me the 'wes' ring.

I reached up and fiddled with the chain that was still around my neck and the same ring that was hanging on it. Dad even told me that I liked Sam, but went alone with it when I denied it. How long had I been lying to myself about her?

I closed my eyes as I took a deep shuddering breath. I never even got the chance to tell her about my feelings before she died. She never knew how I felt.

My thoughts than drifted to my best friend since kindergarten. Tucker. We shared EVERTHING. We played video games together, got sick together, fought together, and we even shared ghost powers at one point. He loved technology just as much as Cyborg does. And I bet those two would get along nicely if they ever meet. He was more of womanizer than Cy though. He was a game freak and he would always beat me when we played against each other. I beat that it would be funny to watch him, Cyborg and Beast Boy all get at each other at video games.

I smiled at the thought and chuckled softly. But now I had to choose who I would bring back. I sobered up looked at the clock on the wall, watching the minute hand make a full lap around the circle before I sat up and moved off the bed.

I've made my decision.

Raven's POV

We all walked out of the room to allow Danny some time to think. We all hung out around in the hallway, waiting for Danny to make his choice. I was honestly curious on to who he would pick to save. I don't know who I would pick if I where him. It's such a hard choice to make.

"I wonder who he will pick." Robin said softly, drawing all of our attention to him. "He had five people to chose from, and he loves all of them very much."

We all nodded in agreement. "Whoever he picks, I'm sure he will be happy about it." I told them calmly.

Dani smiled at us. "I've meet both of Danny's friends, but not his parents or sister. I honestly did like Sam and Tucker, even if I did only meet them for a few minutes. But they way Danny acted around them, he was completely relaxed and carefree, trusting them completely." she said.

"Hey...I just noticed something..." Cyborg said, making all of us look at him curiously. "When Starfire gave Danny a hug earlier...he didn't snap at her and tell her not to touch him like he use to. He just said he needed to breath (and maybe relief from the pain.)"

I watched as all of their eyes widen with realization. I had already noticed and that's why I told Danny that we would accept his choice, no matter what it is. Anyone who can put that amount of change in someone, then let them be here for Danny as well.

Dani grinned. "Told ya so."

"You're right." Beast Boy said, his eyes wide. "Normally if we try to touch him or something, he threatens to blast us into the middle of next week." He grins. "Dude! That's so cool! I can't wait for the person to get here so maybe Danny won't be as much of a grouch anymore!"

I rolled my eyes as the others chuckled.

Robin nodded. "I can't wait to meet this person too. Someone that special to Danny has to mean something if they can change his mood like that."

Starfire grinned and giggled softly. "Maybe when Friend Danny's friend gets here, we can all go out to the mall of shopping!"

I shook my head. "It might be a while before that happens Star."

They all looked at me confused, causing me to sigh in irritation. Honestly, why don't people ever look ahead? "This person is going to be suddenly snatched out of their time line and placed in a new one with absolutely no idea what will be going one. They are probably going to confused and lost for the first few days or a few weeks." I explained.

Dawning realization lit up their faced. "Oh." they all said softly.

Just then, the door to the room slide open and Danny poked his head out into the hallway. When he spotted us, he nodded. "I've made my chose." before disappearing back into the room. We all walked into the room and looked at him with question. Danny held up his hand, preventing anyone from asking questions. "First, let's get to Clockwork's Tower. Clockwork!" Danny yelled out.

Sudden, with the sound of ripping fabric, a clock hand appeared in the air before twisting around creating a blue portal. Clockwork, in toddler form floated through it and into the room. "You made your choice Daniel?" he asked the half ghost teen. Danny nodded his head sharply. "Very good. Everyone step into the portal please." He said, moving to the side and gesturing to the blue portal.

We all stared at him confused, except for Danny. "Everyone? Even us?" asked Cyborg with wide eyes.

Clockwork smiled at the mech-man and nodded. "Yes. You are all welcome into my Tower." he told him as he shifted ages to a middle aged man.

Danny walked up to the portal and smiled reassuringly at us. "Come one. I don't think you would want to miss the once in a life time opportunity to come into the Master of Time's lair, would you?" he asked with a teasing grin before leaping into the portal.

Dani smirked at us playfully before flying into the portal after Danny.

We all glanced at each other before looking at Clockwork, who nodded his head at the portal again. I walked forward first and approached the portal. I stuck my hand out to touch it, only to watch my hand go though it and making me hand feel cold. I sighed before following Danny and Danielle and leaped into the portal.

Sighs. I did want to continue the chapter, but thought of leaving it at a simi-cliff hanger for you. I hope you enjoyed it. Again, sorry for any spelling errors or anything. Read and Review please.
