E is for Elope

Weird idea that popped into my head during school... Super busy, hope you enjoy it though!

Sam was steadily drumming her fingers on the table when Danny spoke up suddenly, as if a genius idea just struck him.

"Let's elope." He said quietly, startling Sam. She couldn't decide what she was more shocked at—the fact that he finally spoke up after such a long silence, or the fact that he just suggested they elope.

"We what?" She questioned, part of her hoping that what she heard was true.

"I say we elope—turn away from all this. I really don't know how celebrities deal with it all the time. I just know I can't handle it anymore."

"How about the ghosts? Where are we gonna go? And what about money? My family's money is limited now that my dad's planning his retirement… I mean, I could still get a few thousand, but after that…" Sam said, voicing her concerns.

"My parents, Valerie, and the Axion Labs… They're all good and smart people; I trust them completely to handle it. Plus I can send Dani over to pay a few visits once in a while… About the money," Danny turned to Sam, a mischievous grin on his face, "Remember my eighteenth birthday a while back?"

Sam nodded, wondering where Danny was going with this. "Of course I remember! The freaking world threw you a party."

"Well, yes…" Danny looked embarrassed, "But the world, as in the leaders, also gave me a gift. More like they needed someone 'neutral' to balance the world's economy, but a gift none the less."

Sam looked at him, an eyebrow raised. "Well, what is it then?"

"Ten billion dollars." Danny said with a satisfied grin. Three… Two… One…

"What?!" Sam spit the word out, "But… But… But, how? What? Why? What?!" She was at a lost of words. She shook her head in denial. "This is not funny, Danny. Ten billion dollars—do you have any idea how much that is?!"

Danny watched on, amused. "Enough to get us a big house, and last us a lifetime? Well, assuming we're going into 'hiding' for that long. I just really want the media to die down a couple of years."

"Where—How did they even get this money for you? The United States is owing a freaking 14.7 trillion dollars alone."

"They needed a solution to Vlad's accounts. Frozen for years—but if they don't do anything soon, a couple countries' economy would collapse since DALV co. was basically their everything. In simpler terms, I'm now the executive of his companies. Who by the way funded the Guys in White. Totally didn't appreciated that, so the first thing I did was to disband them and—"

Sam put her hand on Danny's lips. "Danny, you're rambling again. Don't be so nervous, okay? I'm not mad." Sam said gently, moving closer to her fiancé.

Danny blushed as he ran his fingers through his stark black hair. "Okay, okay. Keep calm. I am very calm."

"Good." Sam punched Danny's arm lightly. "Why didn't you tell me this earlier?"

"Heh, I wanted it to be a surprise! Not even my parents knew it yet."

"Well… I guess that's all right then. Are we really going to do this?"

"If you agree." Danny shrugged, "I don't see the point to do this if you wouldn't like it."

Sam beamed. "I love you, Danny. Let's do it." She smiled as their lips come together, knowing that they'd be together no matter what.

Cheesy ending, I know. Ran out of time and all that.

Really don't know how much money is a lot, so I went with ten billion. (Because I'm broke and seriously don't know the concept of 'a lot' after a hundred dollars.)

Reviews make me post faster though. :)
