AMNESIA: The Quest for Answers
A Danny Phantom Fan Tale
The Quest: Chapter 14
Love Adventures
While the Ghost Boy was walking away from the hill, a tearful Sam was left sitting under the tree. Suddenly, a burst of energy began circulating around Sam, which made her fall into a state of unconsciousness. Danny turned around to take a last glance on his ex-girlfriend, to which he sees Sam's body smash down into the solid ground.
"Sam!" He exclaimed, running back up the hill and spotting Sam, lying on the ground, unconscious. Running towards her and shaking her body, Danny exclaimed, "SAM! Wake up!" Danny still cared about his relationship with his best friend. "Please, Sam! I'm sorry if I wasn't there to protect you!" Danny's emotions started to rise up again and form into teardrops, which fell onto Sam's frail body. "Sam! I love you! I would do anything to protect you! Please, come back!"
Suddenly, a mysterious figure appeared in front of Danny. "Who are you? What did you do to Sam?" The figure's face quickly faded to reveal an unknown ghost. "Oh, I'm gonna get you for doing this to Sam!"
"Calm down, Phantom." The ghost explained. "Introductions first. I am VALENTIN, the Ghost of Love. You might not know me very well, since I reside in the deepest realms of the Ghost Zone."
Valentin raised his hand and explained his history in the form of a flashback.
Valentin was a very young, good-natured man, who always believed in the power of love. While he was still living, he met a girl named Miranda. The two of them became best friends, and after their awesome adventures as business people, they finally committed their lives to one another. They had a very beautiful daughter, who was named Cassandra.
After a nine-year-old Cassandra got separated from her parents by a storm, the couple searched for their daughter, but they were unsuccessful. Wanting to end their sorrows, the couple attempted to end their lives by jumping off a high cliff, but they were stopped by Clockwork, the Ghost Master of Time. He explained to the couple the devastating future they will ever have in case they end their lives. Horrified by this revelation, the couple decided to start a new life, by visiting various towns across the world and spreading the word about the power of love. They used their adventures as inspiration for the people who are lost in love.
However, after a visit by the couple to a small village angered the mayor who does not believe in love, they were sentenced to death by hanging. Rather than defend their acts, the couple willingly accepted their fate. Before they were put into the hanging machine, Valentin requested that they may be hanged hugging together. The mayor granted Valentin's final request and tied them together so that their bodies would "hug". As the executioner was about to pull the switch, a girl went running towards the couple, asking for one last advice.
"Always remember this, child." Miranda said. "The minds may forget memories, but not the heart, for it is the only space in our body where our love resides."
The young girl suddenly remembers the same advice when she was just a kid. She then pleaded the mayor to stop the hanging. The mayor felt pity for the young girl and asked the executioner to untie the couple. The girl quickly ran towards Miranda; with tears flowing form her face. "Mom?" She exclaimed.
Miranda was shocked. At first, she was wondering why the girl wanted to stop them from being killed. But as Miranda stared into the girl's eyes, she saw her own. "Cassandra? Is that you?"
"MOM!" The girl, who was the long-lost Cassandra, hugged her mom tightly. "I missed you so much!"
"I missed you too, Cassie." Miranda cried as well, as Valentin was standing behind them. "Dad!" Cassie letgo of her mom and rushed to her dad. "Oh, my Cassie!" Valentin couldn't hold off his emotions; he finally found her daughter.
The mayor was so ashamed of his actions and his hatred for love. "Well, I guess love really is powerful." The mayor dropped the sentences and let the family go.
As the years went by, Valentin and Miranda passed away peacefully, leaving their daughter, Cassie, their principles of love. And by her strong love for everyone, he met her best friend, Michael. And from there, her own adventures of love began, where their friendship blossomed and gave them a daughter, in the name of Madeline. And Maddie, in turn, shared her adventures with a man named Jack, which gave them two children, Jazmine and Danny.
Because of their accomplishments on the human world as the man who always believed in love, not giving up on it, they both became living symbols of love. Valentin remained in the Ghost Zone and became the Ghost of Love, visiting every couple and helping them in their relationships. Meanwhile, Miranda became the Angel of Love, who was watching every couple from above the skies, protecting them from anything that will ruin their love.
There, Danny discovers that Valentin, the Ghost of Love, was his maternal great-grandfather. "Whoa." Danny was speechless. "Dad didn't tell me about you!"
'Well," Valentin chuckled, "memory gaps, I guess." He then paused for a while and continued, "So, this is Sam?"
"Oh, yes!" Danny exclaimed. "What happened to her?"
"Oh, she's just fine." Valentin responded. "I was a mere witness of your adventures with her, my great grandson. You were always determined and inspired to love and protect her, and your adventures were much better and more memorable than ours with Miranda!"
Danny couldn't think of anything to say. "Whoa."
Valentin added, "Yes, Danny. And because of your ultimate love for Sam, here."
Valentin raised his hands and performed magic. Sam's body began to rise and stand, facing Danny. The ghost boy stood still in his position, not wanting to move a single finger. Suddenly, a loud echo pronounced Valentin's ultimate rule of love.
"THE MINDS MAY FORGET MEMORIES, BUT NOT THE HEART, FOR IT IS THE ONLY SPACE IN OUR BODY WHERE OUR LOVE RESIDES."
Sam's eyes opened, revealing an amethyst colored light. Valentin started to speak again, a loud echo filled the entire city and its surrounding landscapes.
"YOUR ADVENTURES WITH SAMANTHA ARE AMONG THE GREATEST, DANNY PHANTOM, AND I WOULDN'T LET THOSE MEMORIES FADE FOREVER IN VAIN. BECAUSE OF YOUR ULTIMATE LOVE FOR HER, THEY DESERVE TO BE RETURNED. AND BECAUSE YOU HAVE PROVEN YOUR LOVE, CARE AND COMMITMENT TO YOUR BEST FRIEND, YOU ARE TO RECEIVE THE GREATEST GIFT OF LOVE."
TO BE CONTINUED!
