NO FLAMES PLEASE!
NOBODY'S POV—1 month later:
It was an especially cold day on that island. The moment Sam woke up, her throat hurt. Groaning, she got up and drank some water. It hurt when the water reached her throat. Was she getting sick? Sam walked over to Paulina, who looked just as worse as she did.
"Throat hurting?" Sam asked. Paulina scowled and nodded.
"It's driving me crazy! I can't sleep because of it!" Paulina exclaimed. Sam nodded in agreement and cracked open a coconut. Goosebumps covered Sam's arms and legs. All she had on was a T-shirt and shorts. She shivered, and her teeth chattered.
"Freakin' cold." Sam muttered, annoyed. She drank the delicious coconut juice. Although it didn't help her throat much, it made her mood better. Sam's lips formed a smile after she drank the juice.
"I hate this stupid island. Why aren't we getting rescued? That SOS sign isn't helping!" Paulina complained.
"I guess nobody really bothers to check for SOS signs." Sam replied.
"How come we never tried escaping? Like making a boat or something?" Paulina asked.
"It might be too dangerous. The waves might get really rough, and there might be dangerous sharks or other sea creatures out further." Sam said.
"Stupid sharks." Paulina muttered. She got up and walked to the backpack of fruit. She pulled out a few berries and plopped them into her mouth.
Sam pulled out her phone. Everyday, Tucker would somehow get the battery to be full again. Although it didn't really help, it was quite time passing. Sam would play Temple Run or Angry Birds. There was never a signal, but that was never surprising.
As the red bird angrily flew to the green pig, Sam sighed. They couldn't stay here forever. They had to get out somehow.
Sam kept thinking about ways to escape this island. Most of them were too risky or ridiculous. Dash came up to them.
"It's too cold!" He complained. He sat next to Paulina and irritatingly rolled his eyes. Paulina raised an eyebrow.
"Aren't you going to put your arm around me?" She asked. Dash looked confused, but then caught on. He hastily put his arm around Paulina. Paulina's face instantly brightened. Thanks to Dash, she wasn't freezing anymore. Sam sighed, and looked in her empty coconut.
'Why can't Danny ever put his arm around me like that?' Sam thought. More goosebumps scattered across Sam's arms. Sam wrapped her arms around herself and shivered. She looked through the clothes to see if there were any jackets. Unfortunately, there were only T-shirts, pants, and some underwear. No jackets. Sam pulled on the warmest looking T-shirt and started shivering.
"Arg!" Sam cried out. She took out her arms from the sleeves. She had the shirt on, but her arms were inside, trying to capture the tiniest bit of head.
She looked over at Dash and Paulina. They were sitting quietly. Sam noticed Dash's arm wasn't around Paulina anymore. She looked irritated. Sam quietly laughed to herself.
Sam looked at the three sleeping figures. Tucker and Jazz were huddled together in one spot, and poor Danny was shivering in his sleep. Sam smiled and walked over to him. She put a few T-shirts on top of him, hoping it would warm him up a little bit. Danny was still shivering.
'Poor Danny. All cold. His throat probably hurts too.' Sam thought. She was going to put a few more clothes on him, but then he woke up. Danny's eyes were a little red. When he saw Sam, he yawned deeply and ran a hand through his messy hair.
"Cold?" Sam asked. Danny nodded.
"My throat hurts a lot." Danny said. Sam nodded.
"Mine too. And Paulina and Dash's." Sam told. Danny nodded and stretched. He sat up and rubbed his eyes. Sam smiled and pointed to Jazz and Tucker.
"Look at them, all huddled together." Sam said. Danny's eyes widened.
"I guess there is a Tucker and Jazz." Danny smiled.
'But no chance for Sam and Danny.' Sam thought bitterly. "Yeah." Sam replied, trying to sound as enthusiastic as possible.
"What's wrong? You seem upset." Danny said.
"N-Nothing!" Sam cried out quickly. Her face turned red. Danny's face was filled with confusion.
"I-I need to tell you something." Danny said.
"What?"
"You know that secret that you've been wanting to know?" Danny asked. Sam quickly nodded.
"I think I'm ready to tell you." Danny said.
"What is it?" Sam asked anxiously.
"I want to tell Tucker too. How about tonight?" Danny asked.
"Is it really that big of a deal?" Sam asked.
"Yes, Sam. It is." Danny had a serious look in his eyes.
'That's hot.' Sam thought. She grinned stupidly. Her grin faded when goosebumps crawled all over her arms and legs.
"Why are you smiling?" Danny asked.
"Um, because you're finally going to tell us your secret." Sam lied. She shivered, and her teeth chattered.
"Stupid wind! I'm gonna die of frostbite!" Sam exclaimed. She wrapped her arms around herself and shivered again. Danny gave her a pitiful look.
"You're not cold?" Sam asked.
"Not really. My throat hurt a little bit this morning, but I'm not shivering and shaking like you are." Danny stated.
"Lucky." Sam said as she wrapped a spare shirt around herself. She sat down under a tree. Danny followed and sat next to her.
"How are you not cold?" Sam asked.
Danny chuckled. "I'm too hot." Sam rolled her eyes.
"Clever answer." She muttered. Sam shivered again, and wrapped her arms around herself. Suddenly, Danny scooted closer to her. Sam could already feel his body heat. She savored it, but wanted more. Danny put his hand to her face. Sam gasped at the sudden warmth.
"You're freezing!" Danny cried out. He retracted his hand, but Sam pulled it back. She put his hand on her neck and sighed contentedly.
Danny raised an eyebrow, but then smiled. The two started laughing.
"You wanna be warm?" Danny asked. Sam nodded quickly.
"Ok, get up." Danny said. Confused, Sam did what she was told.
"Take off your flip flops." He commanded. Sam did so. Danny picked them up.
"What are you doing?" Sam asked. Danny smirked.
"Catch me if you can!" Danny exclaimed. He ran off with Sam's flip-flops.
"Hey!" Sam cried out. She ran after Danny. Danny looked behind him and saw Sam right at his tail. He laughed and ran faster.
'Ahh! Freakin' Danny! He's so cute and annoying!' Sam thought as she ran. They ran on the side of the coast. Water occasionally touched their feet. Sam ran even faster and caught up to Danny. She pounced on him and knocked him down.
"Gotcha!" Sam exclaimed. She was breathing hard, tired from her long run. Both started laughing. Sam sat on Danny's stomach and took her flip-flops.
"Not cold anymore?" Danny asked. Realization hit Sam. This is why Danny took her flip-flops!
"Oh my god, your method worked. I am surprised to say you're not a total idiot." Sam joked.
"Hey!" Danny said, pretending to be very offended. Sam laughed and leaned down closer to Danny.
"Don't do that again." Sam said. Danny smirked and leaned up.
"I think I will." Danny grinned. Suddenly, they realized their lips were very close to each other. They stared into each other's eyes.
Sam's stomach was doing jumping-jacks.
'Are we going to kiss?' Sam thought.
'Are we about to kiss?' Danny thought.
"Guys!" Tucker ran down the beach, stumbling a bit. Sam and Danny yelped in surprise and quickly broke apart. Sam quickly got off Danny.
"Paulina fell down a deep ditch! You gotta help!" Tucker exclaimed. Sam and Danny quickly ran to Tucker.
"Where?" Danny asked.
"Follow me!" Tucker ran up the shore, with Danny and Sam close behind. Tucker led them through some trees in the jungle until they reached a hole. Dash and Jazz were standing there.
"Paulina!" He yelled. There was no response.
Sam peered into the hole and tried to see if Paulina was there.
"Paulina!" She called. No answer.
"I'm going to check inside." Danny said, determined to rescue Paulina.
"No!" Jazz exclaimed. "You're going to get hurt!"
"We need to rescue her!" Danny replied.
"We need a rope." Tucker said. Danny nodded. Although he had ghost powers, he wasn't ready to expose himself.
"I can make one." Sam said.
"I'll help." Danny replied.
"Me too." Tucker said.
"I'll stay here." Dash said. Everyone nodded.
Sam grabbed some long tree leaves and branches. The four started building a "rope" out of their natural resources.
"Were you guys going to kiss?" Tucker suddenly asked. Danny and Sam both turned a deep red. Tucker smirked.
"Were you?" Tucker pushed, enjoying the awkwardness between Danny and Sam, despite the situation.
"We need to fix up a rope. Stop getting sidetracked!" Sam exclaimed. That shut him up.
Out of their few resources, the rope seemed pretty strong. It was built after about an hour.
The four walked back to the hole.
"Okay, you and Tucker and Dash hold the rope while I climb down." Danny commanded.
"Are you sure you don't want one of us to come?" Sam asked softly. Danny shook his head.
"I'll be fine on my own."
"…Okay."
Dash, Sam, and Tucker held the rope. Danny descended down the hole steadily.
"Doing okay?" Sam called out.
"Yeah. Keep going!" Danny replied. We steadily let him go down. After a while, he reached the bottom.
"Do you see Paulina?" Dash yelled.
"No! Let me look." Danny called back. There was a long silence. Suddenly, they heard a scream.
"Danny!" Sam yelled. She leaned over the hole, nearly falling in.
"Sam!" Tucker pulled her back, preventing her from falling.
There was more screaming. Danny was in a struggle. Suddenly, the hole closed up by itself.
"No, Danny!" Sam screamed. She started digging, but it was just sand. Sam felt tears rolling down her face.
"What's going on?" Dash yelled.
In the hole:
Danny was shocked to see his worst enemy. He had blasted his arm with a ghost ray, and now Danny's arm was injured.
"Plasmius!" Danny yelled. He transformed into Phantom mode and started blasting ghost rays at him.
"Miss me, Daniel?" Vlad asked calmly. He shot a ghost net at him, trapping him to one of the sides of the "wall".
"What are you doing here?" Danny yelled.
"Ah, Daniel. No need to shout. I am only here to capture you and slowly torture you – not only by physical pain, but also by emotion.
"Let me go!" Danny yelled. He struggled to get out.
Vlad snapped his fingers, and a small screen popped up. It was outside the hole. Sam, Dash, Jazz, and Tucker were there. Danny could see tears rolling down his sister's and Sam's face.
"Danny!" Sam yelled. She was furiously digging.
"I see you and this special girl of yours are in love. Maybe I should kill her first?" Vlad said.
"No! Don't you dare touch Sam!" Danny roared. He struggled against the ghost net, but it was no use.
"Ah, you really think you love her? She doesn't even know your biggest secret. And once she finds out, she'll never speak to you again." Vlad said curtly.
"Don't hurt Sam!" Danny yelled. "Don't hurt my friends!" Danny yelled.
"I suppose you're wondering where Paulina is. She's beautiful, isn't she? The stupid football player is trapped under her spell. Too bad though, she's gone for good." Vlad sneered.
"You killed her?" Danny screamed. His eyes showed menace.
"No, stupid boy. I've trapped her in my very own cage. I designed it myself. If she even touches the bars, she'll be shocked very hard!" Vlad laughed in delight.
"Danny?" He heard a faint Latino voice from his right.
"Paulina! Don't touch the bars!" Danny yelled.
Paulina cried out in fear and became quiet.
"Let. Us. GO!" Danny roared.
"No, no Daniel! I can't just do that. You have to do a little something for me." Vlad taunted.
"What?" Danny asked.
"Let me marry your mother, and let me kill your father." Vlad replied.
"My parents are dead." Danny said quietly.
"No, no Daniel! You are mistaken! They aren't dead! Nobody from the plane is dead! They are all my minions now!" Vlad exclaimed. He turned on a dim light, and there were doors inside the "cave".
"You've been living here, watching us this whole time? Our parents were never dead! You did this on purpose!" Danny yelled.
"Temper, child. Now, let me show you." Vlad opened one of the doors. It was dark. He walked back to Danny, and zapped him with a small gun.
"There. No ghost powers for three days!" Vlad exclaimed. He let the ghost chain go. Danny got out. He wanted to beat the living hell out of Vlad. Without ghost powers, he couldn't.
The door had a small dim light on. There were cages and cages, filled with people from the plane. Danny gasped in shock.
"D-Danny?" A small voice said. Danny turned to his right and gasped. His mother was in a small cage, similar to a prison cell. There was a small toilet and sink. Vlad probably bought the island and had this stuff installed!
"M-Mom!" Danny ran to his mother. "You're alive!"
"Oh, Danny. I'm so glad to see you. Is Jazz okay? Have you been doing okay?" His mom asked. Danny quickly nodded.
"Where's Dad?" Danny asked.
"I-I don't know! I can't see anyone or anything from here except the two or three people around me." Maddie cried out. Danny let a tear drop.
"I'm going to rescue everyone." Danny said.
"You will. You're the famous Phantom." Maddie said with a small smile. Danny gasped.
"Vlad told you?" He asked. Maddie nodded.
"Vlad took my ghost powers away. I'm not getting them back for three days." Danny whispered.
"Be strong Danny." Maddie said. Danny nodded and smiled lightly. He walked down the cages and saw his father in one.
"Dad!" He exclaimed. Jack Fenton ran up to Danny.
"You're okay!" Jack exclaimed. Danny smiled.
"I thought everyone was dead." Danny said quietly.
"Vlad captured us all and is going to force us to be his slaves!" Jack exclaimed.
"We're going to get out of here. I'm going to help you guys." Danny said, determined.
"Good luck, Phantom." Jack said. Danny looked surprised, then nodded slightly.
"I'm so glad you and Mom are okay." Danny whispered, before Vlad yanked him away. Danny looked behind him, and he swore he saw Sam's parents in cages too. He wasn't sure if it was them or not.
"Ah, what's better than a nice little reunion?" Vlad sneered.
"Let them go!" Danny yelled. He punched Vlad in the face and ran. Although he had no ghost powers at the moment, he took the chance. Danny ran to Paulina's cage, which was outside the door. Danny closed the door and frantically looked for a spot to hide at. He looked up, and saw a small square. It looked like an attic, but there was no time to climb.
The door burst open, and a very angry Vlad Plasmius was standing there.
"You, my boy, have crossed the line." Vlad said menacingly. He grabbed Danny and shoved him into the wall. Hurt, Danny looked up and saw Plasmius towering over him.
Vlad grabbed Danny and shoved him into a cage in front of Paulina. Then, he left without saying a word.
"How do we get out of here?" Danny whispered.
"I don't know! If I touch the bars, I'm going to be shocked to death!" Paulina whispered back.
The cage bars were a little wide, so Danny could reach his arms outside, but not all the way. He touched Paulina's cage, and felt a shock. He quickly pulled his hand back.
"Did it shock Vlad when he put it on?" Danny asked.
"No." Paulina whispered.
"Then I might be able to get you out in three days." Danny whispered. It was obvious Paulina knew his secret.
"You're the famous Phantom." Paulina smiled. Danny knew about Paulina's obsession with Phantom.
"Yeah, I am." Danny said.
"I know what you're thinking. I'm not going to chase after you like the fan girl I used to be. I know you love Sam. And I love Dash." Paulina said. Danny's eyes widened.
"You're smarter than you look. And thanks for understanding my feelings." Danny replied. Danny knew for a fact that he was hopelessly in love with Sam. But for now, he had to focus on getting out.
"I wonder what's in that attic up there." Danny pointed to it.
"Maybe once you get your ghost powers back, you might be able to escape and look." Paulina said.
"Hopefully." Danny whispered. After a long silence, Danny had fallen asleep on the ground. Although he was really, really grateful about his parents being alive and everyone being okay, he was still scared about Vlad, for Tucker, Dash, Jazz, and Sam. Danny thought about his almost-kiss with Sam. He missed her so much at the moment.
With a frown, he fell into a dreamless sleep.
