Hey people! Sorry for the long wait! I got caught up with a few things. Anyway, here is chapter 9!
I don't own the show Danny Phantom and any of its characters.
Chapter 9-Prom
The next picture is yet another picture of Danny and Sam only this time, they wore formal outfits. Danny is wearing a black tuxedo with purple flowers pinned to his right chest side and black shoes. His hair was still the same style because he couldn't get it to go the way he wants it to be. The flowers are decorated with tiny black spiders. Sam is wearing a dark purple knee length cocktail dress and black not-too-high, high heels. Her hair was down but had a purple flower on her right ear courtesy of Danny. Speaking of Danny, in the picture, he was making a silly face while Sam was laughing and pointing at him with her finger.
Caption: Prom! I know, I know… Danny does look like a doofus here but you've gotta admit, he looks pretty funny.
Flashback- - -
"Tuck, I'm nervous." Danny said as he attempted to wipe sweat from his forehead with the white cloth his mother gave him. Danny and Tucker were currently in front of Sam's mansion to pick her up for the prom. And obviously, Danny is her date.
"Oh come on dude… you are Danny Phantom. You save the town from ghosts on a daily basis. You saved the entire world from a gigantic asteroid yet you are nervous on taking your girlfriend to the prom? You never fail to surprise me dude." Tucker said shaking his head.
"Yeah I know, I've heard. Could you just at least help me look decent so I don't embarrass myself in front of Sam's parents?" Danny said straitening his tux. Tucker rolled his eyes before helping Danny look decent. After they were done fixing the flowers that were pinned on Danny's tux, Tucker pushed Danny forward causing him to almost stumble on the steps of Sam's home. Danny glared at him but Tucker just rolled his eyes.
"Just go already." He said. Danny took a deep breath and rang the doorbell. He waited for a couple of minutes before the door flew open revealing a slightly confused Mr. Manson but once he saw Danny, his expression soften a little.
"I guess you are here to pick up Samantha?" he asked eyeing Danny from head to toe.
"Yes sir." Danny said. Mr. Manson stepped aside and motioned for Danny to come in.
"Hey wait what about—" *door closes* "—me? *sigh* I'll just wait here then…" Tucker said as he sat on the steps.
Inside the Manson Residence
"Have a seat, Daniel. Samantha will be down in short while."
"Dad, how many times do I have to tell you, it's 'Sam' not 'Samantha'" Sam said as she descended down the flight of stairs, her dress flying behind her. When she reached the bottom, she quickly went up to Danny and gave him a light kiss on the cheek.
"Let's go now before my mom attacks us with pictures again." Sam whispered and Danny nodded speechless while eyeing her outfit. Sam smirked.
"Mom! Dad we're going!" Sam called out mainly to her mom who was still upstairs.
"Wait a minute Sammy-kins, we still need to take a picture!" Mrs. Manson said as she quickly descended down the flight of stairs while holding a digital camera. Sam groaned while Danny greeted Mrs. Manson.
"Mom, we have enough pictures already." Sam said.
"Just one last picture with Daniel over here then you're good to go." Mrs. Manson said as she eyed Danny's outfit for a brief second. Sam rolled her eyes and gave in. she wrapped her arms around Danny's neck while Danny wrapped his arms around Sam's waist and both looked at the camera.
"Smile!" CLICK. FLASH. SNAP. "Aw you two look so cute! You can go now, have fun Sammy-kins!" Mrs. Manson said smiling. Danny opened the door for Sam and closed it gently behind him.
"Finally! I thought you guys would never come out!" Tucker said as he stood up and dusted his pants.
"My mom just had to get another picture." Sam said putting one hand on her hip. Danny laughed and slipped his arm around her waist.
"You look great by the way." He said making her blush.
"You look not so bad yourself. Love the spiders." Sam said touching the spider decorations on the flowers that were pinned unto Danny's tux.
"Guys, can we do this later? We still need to pick up Valerie." Tucker said walking ahead of them. After they picked up Valerie, they all proceeded to go to Casper High. When they entered the gym, it was decorated with red and white steamers. The walls were decorated with some red and wait spirals. Tables and chairs were set out in the different corners of the gym and were decorated with either red or white table cloths. There were snack tables with different kinds of… well… snacks. The DJ was playing and most of the students were on the dance floor dancing.
"Not bad." Tucker said as they went over to one of the tables. Valerie looked around for a while then smiled.
"I wanna dance. Come on Tucker! You coming lovebirds?" Valerie asked as she and Tucker stood up.
"Sure why not? Maybe we can even have a showdown with Dash and Paulina over there." Sam said as they watched Dash and Paulina dancing. They were doing a great job until Dash fell hard on his butt. They all laughed at that before proceeding to the dance floor when a slow song came. Sam wrapped her arms around Danny's neck and Danny wrapped his around Sam's waist as they swayed to the music with Valerie and Tucker close behind them.
"Getting cozy there huh?" Tucker whispered in Danny's ear as he and Valerie came close.
"Oh shut up Tucker." Danny said causing him to laugh.
"Just kidding man. Anyway enjoy your moment" Tucker said as he and Valerie swayed away.
"Can't blame Tucker for being Tucker. He always buts in during a moment." Sam said smiling.
"Yeah. I know." Danny said smiling back at her.
"Can you believe it? Just a few more months before our graduation. We'll be attending college after that. Time really flies fast." Sam said.
"I know right? It seems like only yesterday since I got my ghost powers."
"Yeah. It seems like ages ago. When we all go to college next school year, we won't get to see each other that much." Sam said her eyes downcast.
"What school are you going to anyway?" Danny asked.
"Amity Park University." (A/N: sorry, couldn't think of any schools.)
"How about Tucker?"
"He said he has been deciding between Amity Park University and something about a school for aspiring engineers. How about you?" Sam asked. Danny smiled and kissed Sam lightly on the lips.
"I don't get it…. Wait… you're going to the same school as me, aren't you?" Sam asked while Danny nodded with a huge grin on his face. Sam laughed before hugging him.
"But I thought you wanted to be an astronaut?"
"I do. And there's a major in astronomy in APU (Amity Park University)."
"Really? That's great!" Sam said as she hugged Danny.
"Well, well, well… you two seem pretty excited about something. *mock gasp* are the lovebirds engaged?" *smack* "ow… Valerie!" Tucker exclaimed rubbing his arm making Valerie roll her eyes.
"Seriously, what are you two so excited about?" Tucker asked while still rubbing his arm.
"Well, I just figured out that Danny will be going to APU with me." Sam said smiling.
"Really Danny?" Valerie asked. Danny nodded and smiled hugging Sam closer.
"Let's celebrate this moment with a picture! Smile lovebirds!" Tucker said holding up his PDA.
CLICK. FLASH. SNAP.
End Flashback- - -
After that day, with lots of persuasion, they made Tucker also attend APU. Danny and Sam high fived when Tucker agreed. Sam also persuaded her parents to rent an apartment with 3 bedrooms so that she, Danny and Tucker could move in together. At first, Sam's parents were hesitant but Sam promised to do anything they want for one week so they agreed. Being rich, Sam's parents rented the trio a luxury apartment near APU with 3 bedrooms, a kitchen, a living room and a study. The whole thing only cost Sam to wear a pink frilly outfit for one week. Sam, Danny and Tucker couldn't be more happier. Danny checked the clock,
12:30? Time flies fast. Better eat then.
After eating lunch and washing the plates, he decided to get out and continue to look at the photo album on the porch where there is fresh air. Once outside, he sat on the rocking chair and opened the album to the page where he stopped. He looked at the picture one last time before proceeding to the next one.
