DOUBLE CROSS MY HEART
A small ghost flew through the night air of Amity Park, down in the street a man was just coming out of his house when suddenly Skulker phased out of the street in front of him. Skulker activated his binoculars and viewed the flying ghost in the air.
"Well, it's a minor prize but any pray is good pray" Skulker said with a grin and then flew off using his jet packs.
He then came back for a second and scared the man back to into his house, he then proceeded after the ghost. He chased him around for five minutes and then caught him with some ecto rope, he pulled it back to him and grinned in satisfaction of his catch.
"The element of surprise. The hunter's best friend" He said. But then suddenly, he was blasted in the chest and accidently released his prize. He looked up to see who sent that blast and gasped at the sight, "And the hunted's worst enemy!"
Coming at him in full speed in a white jet was the Guys in White. A few months ago, they came to Amity Park when Vlad Masters had hired them to capture Danny and Dayla for a reward. But now since Amity Park had been officially labelled as the most haunted town in America, they have made a base just near the town and were still on the hunt for Danny and Dayla Phantom.
"Decoy ghost liberated. What about the unfriendly?" Agent O asked as he looked at the radar.
"Any pray is good pray. Unleash White Lightning Side Winders" Agent K commanded.
Skulker however was not going to allow himself to be hunted, he charged straight at them and activated his missile launcher and launched a few at them, but they dodged out of the way. They fired a couple of their own missiles at him, he didn't have time to defend himself as he was hit dead on and flung back. Agent O and K both grinned that he was now vulnerable and flew above him, Agent K then activated a tractor beam which grabbed him with some sort of anti-ghost energy.
As he was being pulled up to the jet, he tried to break free and get away, but no matter how hard he tried he couldn't escape.
"I can't break free!" He exclaimed. Knowing he had no choice, he then pushed a button on his wrist and then suddenly his real ghost form popped out and he watched as his suit was taken inside the jet. Not taking any more chances, he flew off back to the Ghost Zone.
As soon as the suit was inside, Agent K started the jet again and they took off. He said, "Target ghost obtained"
"True but his suit is hard wired" Agent O said. He then turned to the computer and uploaded an image of Danny and Dayla in their ghost forms, "If we can access its data base, it may help us lead to our primary objective: The punks known as Danny and Dayla Phantom"
The next day after school Danny, Dayla, Sam, Tucker and Andrew were at Nasty Burger, their prime afternoon hang out spot.
"Danny if you're going to drool, would you mind not drooling all over my tofu soy melt?" Sam asked with a bit of annoyance as Danny kept looking at the register with a lovesick smile.
He sighed as he continued to look at Valerie who was currently working a shift. Tucker said, "Drool over a tofu soy melt isn't drool, its seasoning"
Sam just moved her tray out of the way, they all then watched as Valerie took off her hat and started leaving the restaurant. Tucker then said, "Seriously Danny, you need to let go. It was over between you and Valerie before it even began"
Before she left, she noticed Danny looking at her. He dropped the look and just smiled and waved at her, she smiled and waved back and then left.
"Yeah I know, but it's not easy. I mean do you guys know what it's like to like someone you can't be with?" Danny asked.
Sam suddenly spat out the drink she was just drinking as soon as she heard those words. He then said, "I mean Dayla, you and Andrew are finally together. I just want the same for me"
"Danny sometimes relationships don't work out that way" Dayla said. Andrew nodded in agreement and said, "I wouldn't worry too much about it, I think that one day the girl for you will turn up. Who knows? She may be just be sitting right next to you"
Sam blushed and then gave Andrew a small kick in the shin. He suddenly stood up after looking at his watch and said, "Aw man! I'm sorry guys I have to go"
"Where are you going? You just got here" Dayla asked.
"Oh…um…it's a school project I've been working on. It's due on in a few days and I really need to work on it" Andrew said and then gave her a quick kiss on the cheek before heading out. "Bye!"
"Hmmm….he's been doing that a bit lately. I wonder what this school project he's doing" Dayla said.
Sam shrugged and then said, "Who knows? Anyway all I know is you'll never catch me going google-eyed over some boy"
She then looked at the doorway and her frown changed to a smile as she said. "Oh my!"
They all turned around to see a white haired boy wearing black and white clothing with black sunglasses, standing with Mr Lancer in the doorway of the restaurant who smiled at them as soon as he noticed them and walked up to them.
"Ah there you children are" He said. "This is Gregor, an exchange student visiting us from…Hungry?"
Tucker offered Gregor his burger, but he kindly refused in an accent, "No thank you. I have already eaten"
Sam giggled at that, while Danny just sighed and took a sip from his soft drink. Gregor then said, "Yes. There is always so many opening lines you can use when you're actually from Hungary"
"Great. You kids are getting along and I don't get paid for overtime. You kids have fun. Bye" Mr Lancer said and then left the restaurant.
"So d-did you actually eat?" Sam asked Gregor.
"Yes, but not here. I doubt there is anything I'd like to eat here, I don't eat anything with a face on it because I'm Ultra-recyclo vegetarian" He answered.
Sam smiled and asked, "Ultra-recyclo vegetarian?"
Dayla noticed that Danny started frowning at the interaction happening between them, she started thinking that maybe he was getting jealous a little. Gregor noticed what Sam was eating and said, "Tofu soy melt? Excellent choice Miss…"
"Manson, Sam Manson. Short for Samantha, but my friends call me Sam. You can call me Sam too, why am I still talking? I am such a spazz" Sam answered at a really fast pace.
He just waved his hand in the air and sat down, "Pshh! I find it charming"
They both just sat there looking at each other lovingly, Danny frowned even more and was about to take another sip from his soft drink when suddenly both his and Dayla's ghost senses went off.
"Well we'd love to stay and chat but we gotta go" Dayla said and then she, Danny and Tucker ran off, leaving Sam alone with Gregor.
The ghost that Skulker was hunting during the night appeared in the restaurant and started scaring off the customers, it then flew over Sam and Gregor who just watched in shock and amazement.
"Ghosts?" He asked. Sam smiled weakly and said, "Welcome to Amity Park"
Danny, Dayla and Tucker headed over to the bathrooms, but found that they needed ten cents to open the doors.
"Dime please?" They both asked Tucker. He smiled and handed them both ten cents each. "Thanks"
They put the coins in the doors and then ran inside, they both changed into their ghost forms and then phased out of there. They flew over Sam and Gregor as they chased after the ghost who was still cackling as he flew around the restaurant.
"Now there is a couple of ghosts who knows hair" Gregor commented.
They chased after it as it phased out of the place, but when they came out the ghost was no longer there.
"Where'd the ghost go?" Dayla asked.
Suddenly a blast shot straight past her head, they both looked up to see Agent O and Agent K coming straight at them on small jets.
"The Guys in White!" She exclaimed.
"Do you two need our help?" Tucker called out.
"Nah! We can handle these losers" Danny answered.
The two agents then sent multiple blasts at them, they both dodged and ran across the roof of the restaurant avoiding being blasted and then flew higher in the air.
"Losers who got better" Danny corrected himself.
They both fired a blast at them, but they simply formed anti-ghost shields around them and deflected their blasts. As they continued to come at them, they pulled out pens which then changed into blasters, Danny and Dayla formed shields around themselves as they fired but the blasts were so powerful that they broke through their shields and hit them dead on.
"A lot better" Dayla corrected once again.
Agent O and K then did a figure eight manoeuvre and came charging at them again, they activated several blasters on their jets and fired. Danny split himself to avoid the blast coming at him from Agent K, Dayla formed a square shield in front of herself deflecting the blast coming at her from Agent O and then they both turned intangible and allowed the blasts to go through them.
"But we got better too" They both said in unison as they formed ecto energy in their hands and formed them into energy blast balls.
They both then threw them at the agents, the blast took out their engines on their jets and they fell off and landed in someone's backyard swimming pool. The jets fell and crashed into the ground, Danny and Dayla both high fived each other and flew off.
"Now we gotta rescue Sam and Tucker from the clutches of a smarmy exchange student" Danny said as they found them walking down the street with Gregor.
They both floated behind them and watched as Gregor showed off a more advance PDA to them. Tucker asked, "Nice PDA. Where'd you get the advanced graphics?"
"I can, how do you Americans say? Beam you the update software. Europe is always six months ahead of technology" Gregor answered. He then put Tucker's hat the other way so it was covering his face, "And we wear our berets like this. It's very Goth"
"You're a Goth? But you're in white" Sam pointed out. He just shrugged and said, "In Hungary, white is the new black"
Sam giggled at that and they continued to walk down the street. Danny continued to frown at the way Sam was looking at Gregor.
"Danny are you okay?" Dayla asked. Danny shook out of his thoughts and said, "Uh yeah. Why wouldn't I be?"
"Well you seem a bit ticked" She pointed out.
"I'm just not sure about Gregor that's all" He said.
"Okay well I'm gonna head over to Andrew's place. I'll see you at home" She said and then they went their separate ways.
Dayla flew over to the one story house and changed back into her human form behind a bush, she came out and knocked on the front door. The door opened to reveal Kimberly Knight, Andrew's mother.
"Oh hi Dayla. How are you?" She asked with a warm smile. Dayla returned the smile and said, "Hi Mrs Knight. I'm good. Is Andrew home?"
"No he hasn't come home yet. I thought he was with you" Kimberly said.
"He was but he said he had to leave because of a school project" Dayla said. "Anyway when he gets home can you let him know I came by and to give me a call?"
"Of course dear" She replied and then Dayla departed and went home.
On the way home, she wondered about what Andrew could have been doing. Shrugging it off that he was probably at the library, she flew into her room and changed into her room and changed back into her human form.
Meanwhile at a motel, Agents O and K were busy at the computers in their room trying to access the data in Skulker's suit.
"Status?" Agent K asked.
"Still unable to access data base, but the noose is tightening" He reported. Agent K opened up a map of Amity Park on the computer screen, "We've traced the Phantom's to something called Nasty Burger, apparently the prime hangout for students of Casper High"
The next day, Tucker was still wearing his hat the way Gregor showed him but because he was blind sighted he kept bumping into people, he then bumped into Danny as he walked up to him along with Dayla and Andrew.
"Would you wear this thing properly?" Danny asked annoyed.
"It could help you not bump into people" Dayla added.
"What? Gregor thinks it's cool" Tucker said.
"Who's Gregor?" Andrew asked. Dayla answered, "He's this exchange student from Hungary
Danny scoffed and asked sarcastically, "Who cares about Gregor?"
Tucker then saw Sam coming and said, "Give you three guesses"
"Hey guys. I've been looking for you" Sam said.
"Where? In Gregor's locker?" Danny asked sarcastically. Sam retorted, "Whoa! Thank you Joe Hostility"
"Look I'm sorry Sam. I'm just saying that Gregor…" Danny began to say, but he was cut off by Gregor himself who was behind him, "That Gregor what?"
Danny just chuckled nervously and said, "Uh…hi Gregor"
"By the way Danny, cool shirt" He said.
"Not too much red messing up the whole white thing for you?" Danny asked. Gregor just continued to smile and said, "It totally works for you. I could never pull off such a look myself"
Danny smiled back and said, "Really? Thanks"
Gregor did that hand movement again and said, "Pssh! Sam would you care to show me around school?"
Sam linked her arm in his and said as they left, "I thought you'd never ask"
"He doesn't seem like a bad guy" Andrew said.
"I still don't trust him" Danny said.
"Come on bro. Are you sure you're not just…you know jealous that Sam is hanging out with him?" Dayla asked with a smirk.
He blushed and his eyes widened at that question and exclaimed, "No! Why would I be?"
She, Andrew and Tucker all chuckled at his reaction. She then asked Andrew, "So you got any plans tonight?"
"Yeah sorry. It's this school project, I really need to finish. I promise I'll make it up to you when it's done" He answered.
"Oh um…okay. Maybe I can help you with it" She suggested. His eyes widened at that and he shook his head, "No! Uh…I mean no thank you. I'll get it done faster on my own"
"Alright…no problem" She said slowly.
Suddenly Danny and Dayla's ghost senses went off and then an ectopus phased through the floor and started flying around the school halls scaring the students. They ran into an empty classroom and changed into their ghost forms, they phased out of their and started chasing after the ectopus. They followed it into several classrooms and then the swimming pool, it lead them under the water of the pool.
The ectopus was gone, but swimming towards them in diving suits and carrying large weapons on their shoulders was Agent O and K. they fired the weapons but they dodged the oncoming blasts.
"Firing ghost depth charge. Prepare for the Great White Whale" Agent O said.
"Wait! Those are only for…" Agent K tried to say but it was too late, he had released the small glowing capsule.
On the surface Mr Lancer had just entered the pool room with a book in his hand and his lunch in the other, "Ah the perfect way to spend lunch. Shakespeare by the pool and dry white toast"
Suddenly the water exploded and went everywhere, Danny and Dayla were flung right out of the room but turned intangible so they didn't hit the roof. When the water cleared, Mr Lancer frowned that his now dry toast was soaking wet.
"Hunt for Red October!" He exclaimed as he saw the two agents at the bottom of the now empty pool.
"Deep water use" Agent K finished.
Early that evening, Danny and Dayla met up with Tucker in an alleyway. Danny had a pretty good idea that Gregor was working with the Guys in White. Andrew couldn't make it since this whole school project he's got going on.
"Think about it. Gregor shows up, so does the Guys in White. He's got the whole white hair and white clothes thing, so do the Guys in White" Danny pointed out. "And what's with the phony accent and that 'pssh!' thing?"
"So you're saying Gregor's a spy?" Dayla asked. "It might be just a coincidence that it happens"
"Or not. Which is why I'm going to keep an invisible eye on him and Sam" Danny said.
"What?! I don't know. You're gonna spy on Sam?" Tucker asked not liking this at all.
"Hey it's for her own good. You coming Dayla?" Danny asked. She shook her head and said, "Oh no! You can spy on them if you want, I'm gonna keep stay out of this"
"Whatever" Danny said and then flew off invisibly as Sam and Gregor started coming their way.
Dayla quickly changed into her human form as Tucker shouted, "It's a bad idea!"
"Shouting angrily into the sky. Very Euro-Goth" Gregor complimented and then switched Tucker's hat around.
They both then left, Danny then quickly came back and switched his hat around properly again and then flew off after them. Tucker shouted again, "It's still a bad idea"
"Anyway what are you gonna do Dayla?" He asked. She shrugged, "I don't know, but have noticed Andrew was acting weirdly today?"
"How do you mean?" He asked.
"Well usually we do our homework together but this time he didn't want me to and the fact that for the past few days at four o'clock he just takes off to work on this project" She explained.
"What exactly are you thinking?" He asked. She answered, "That he's not working on a school project. Maybe he's meeting up with someone else"
"Or he could just be really busy" Tucker suggested. "You're not thinking of spying on him are you?"
"No! Of course not. I'm just gonna go for a flight" She said and then flew off in her ghost form.
Danny watched as Sam and Gregor skipped rocks at the lake and then watched a movie at the cinema. Dayla flew to the library at first to see if Andrew was there, but he wasn't. She then went to his home but once again he wasn't there, giving up she decided to go to the mall for a little shopping. Danny was at the mall hovering above Sam and Gregor as they shared a plate of spaghetti with each other.
"Oh man! If they share a strand of that spaghetti, I'm gonna hurl" Danny muttered.
Dayla had just gotten out of her favourite clothes store and was about to pass the jewellers when she saw Andrew come out with a girl about her age. She quickly hid in another store and heard him talking with her.
"You think she suspects anything?" The girl asked. Andrew shook his head and said, "Nope. I hope not. Thanks for this by the way and for helping me out"
Dayla's eyes widened when they hugged each other, she then ran off to the food court thinking the worst had happened. Meanwhile Agent O and K were just coming out of a men's clothing store for a sale.
"Why do they call it a white sale when none of the clothes are white?" Agent O asked.
Suddenly their wrists started beeping, indicating that they detected a ghost. They immediately ran off and activated radar goggles over their eyes. They began scanning the area and then they saw Danny floating around in his ghost form.
"The box is in the hen house!" Agent O exclaimed. Agent K then said, "Silencers on"
Two large silent blasters appeared out their wrists and then they blasted Danny and hit him dead on, Dayla gasped and then changed into her ghost form and phased out of the mall after him. The Guys in White activated their new intangibility suits and phased out of the mall then.
Dayla caught Danny in the air. She asked, "Are you okay bro?"
"I'm fine. That was close, but they'll never catch us now" Danny smirked.
They both then became annoyed when they heard Agent K say as they appeared in front of them and aimed their guns, "Guess again kiddo"
"What's the matter with you two?! We're not doing anything!" Dayla exclaimed. Danny then asked, "Why can't you leave us alone?"
"Two unauthorised entities of scale seven ectoplasmic power?" Agent O exclaimed.
"Two pre-pubescent spectres operating freely? Unacceptable!" Agent K shook his head.
"Hey! I have totally hit puberty!" Danny exclaimed. He then pulled out a glowing white piece of hair from his hair. "See that? Totally a chest hair!"
They both were unfazed by this and just blasted them, hitting them both dead on in the chest. They both skidded across the parking lot and hit the ground hard, they both then hid behind a car and changed back into their human forms. They Guys in White then flew over them and left since they couldn't find them.
"Could this week get any worse?" Danny asked.
They both then heard the sound of Sam laughing and watched as she walked out of the mall with Gregor, before they moved any further he stopped her.
"Wait Sam. There's something I must tell you right here and now" He said.
"Okay what?" She asked.
He grabbed her chin and said, "You have little tiny strand of spaghetti hanging from your lip, right here"
And with that he full on kissed her, Danny gasped at this while Dayla's eyes widened. Sam closed her eyes lovingly and then leaned into kissing him longer.
"Okay now it's officially worse" Danny corrected and then looked down. "I'm beginning to think spying is better left to soulless government drones"
"Let's just go home Danny" Dayla said and she changed into her ghost form. Danny changed into his and followed after her, though he could detect in her voice that she was upset about something as well.
Sam pulled out of the kiss and said, "Whoa easy there big fella. Don't you think we're rushing this a bit?"
"Ah yes, yes. I forget. The American girls like to take it slow" Gregor said smiling.
"I've just got some things to figure out" She said. He nodded and said, "Of course I respect this"
He then held onto her hand and they both started heading home, Sam at first smiled at this but then it dropped as he looked away, she was feeling confused about this relationship a little and wasn't sure whether or not to pursue it.
As soon as they got home, Danny could clearly tell something was wrong with Dayla. He knocked on her bedroom door.
"Come in" He heard her call out.
He walked in and saw her sitting on her bed in her bright green PJ's. He sat down beside her and asked, "Is everything okay?"
"Yeah…not really" She admitted looking down. "I went to the mall and I saw Andrew coming out of a store with another girl"
"You think he might be cheating on you? Okay there is no way he would do that to you" He said.
"How can you be sure?" She asked.
"I don't, but maybe you should talk to him about it" He suggested. "For all you know it could've been a relative"
She remained quiet at first but then asked, "But what if he is cheating on me?"
"I don't know. We'll cross that bridge if it gets to it and if it does, I'll be there for you" He said.
She pulled him into a tight hug and kept whispering, "Thanks Danny. Thank you"
"You're welcome sis" He replied and continued to hug.
The next day, they were all sitting with each other outside eating lunches. Danny then asked, "So uh Sam, do anything fun last night?"
"I don't know. Just hung out" She answered.
He frowned as he asked, "With Gregor?"
"I wouldn't do that" Tucker warned.
"Why is that any of your business?" Sam asked with a frown.
Danny then got up and took a closer look at her face. She then asked feeling a bit creeped out, "What are you doing?"
"I don't know" He said as he sat back down. "Just checking for pimples, dimples…spaghetti sauce"
"Spaghetti…" Sam began but then gasped when she figured it out. "We're you spying on me?"
"Dayla and I warned you it was a bad idea to spy on her" Tucker said. Danny then said sarcastically, "Nice"
"You used your ghost powers to spy on me?! You've really crossed the line!" Sam shouted angrily as she stood up.
Danny stood up and said, "Not you! I was spying on Gregor! It's so obvious he's working with the Guys in White!"
"Oh so that's it! The only way that a boy could like me was if it was part of a plot to get to you and Dayla! Ha! Ego much?" Sam said.
Gregor then came up and asked, "Hey Sam, you want to…"
"Whatever it is yes" Sam cut him off and immediately left with him.
"You think he's working with the Guys in White?" Andrew asked. Dayla answered, "Danny thinks so but I think it's just a coincidence"
"Anyway how'd it go last night Danny?" Tucker asked.
"Well I got hit in the face with a rock, Gregor kissed Sam and the Guys in White attacked again so there's gotta be a connection between them and Gregor. It's too much to be a coincidence" He answered.
"Woah! Gregor kissed Sam?" Andrew asked.
"Yeah! But apparently that's none of my business" Danny said and then took an angry sip of his milk and then threw it away. He then hung his head down sighing.
"Tell you what man, since you and Dayla get attacked every time you get close together. I'm gonna tag along with Gregor and Sam. I'll be your mole" Tucker said putting a hand on his shoulder.
Danny perked up and asked, "Really? To protect Sam?"
"That and Gregor rocks! Plus your my best friend and I gotta watch your back too" Tucker said as he stood up and turned his hat around the way Gregor showed him.
He then walked off but because he was blind, he didn't see the man hole up ahead and fell down it. They all cringed as they heard him yell during his fall.
They all then suddenly heard the voice of Agent O say, "The Purple Back Gorilla information we accessed, links back to an assignment you gave in your class"
They all then hid behind a couple of trees and saw that Agent O and K were talking to Mr Lancer nearby.
"And what makes you think I wanna co-operate with the feds?" Mr Lancer challenged.
"Because ghosts are a constant threat to your student body and because we're with the government and have access to your tax records" Agent K answered.
That changed Mr Lancer's tune. He smiled weakly and asked, "What do you want to know and how fast do you want to know it?"
"This is getting too close for comfort. We need to lay low for a while and let Tucker do his thing" Danny said.
"Okay now I'm starting to feel like maybe Gregor is a spy" Dayla said.
"By the way Dayla can you come over to my place tonight?" Andrew asked.
"Uh sure. How come?" She asked.
"There's something I need to talk to you about" He answered.
"Yeah okay. There's something I need to talk to you about too" She said. He smiled and said, "Great. Come over about 7:30. I need to go see Ms Tetslaff right now but I'll see you later"
He then left. Danny asked, "You still think he's cheating on you?"
"Honestly I don't know, but I have to be honest and tell him what I saw last night" She answered.
Sam and Gregor went to the Skulk and Lurk book store after school. Gregor scanned through the books and then picked out a book by Edward Gory.
"Edward Gory. Excellent choice" He said. "Even his name is gory"
Tucker then cut in between them and said, "Hey guys. Thanks for letting me tag along. I hope I'm not getting in your way too much"
"Of course not" Gregor.
"Of course not. You asked to tag along" Sam said. She then looked at the air angrily and shouted, "Unlike some people I know, who better not be here now!"
She kept looking around believing Danny might be still spying on her. Gregor was unfazed by this as he just hung his head down low and said, "Shouting angrily into the sky. It reminds me of home"
Later that night at 7:30, Dayla had arrived at Andrews's house. She knocked on the door and Andrew answered it.
"Hey I'm glad you're here. Come on in" He said.
She nodded and came in, he led her into the living room. They both then sat down on the couch.
"I need to…" They both said at the same time but then stopped. He then said, "You go first"
"Andrew I…last night I was at the mall doing some shopping and then I saw you coming out of a jewellery store with another girl. I just wanted you to know that and I just want us to be honest with each other. Were you seeing someone else?" She asked.
He sighed and then said, "No. I wasn't. I would never do that to you. I already knew you saw me with that other girl"
"You did? How?" She asked.
He chuckled a little and answered, "While I was hugging her I saw you run off around the corner. I didn't confront you because I figured you needed to be alone"
"That girl you saw me with, was my cousin Tabatha" He continued.
"Your cousin? Oh I feel so stupid!" She exclaimed and hid her face with embarrassment. He laughed and said, "Don't worry about it. Anyway I haven't been hanging out with you lately is because my Aunt Josephine and Tabatha came over from New York for a visit and every day after school at 4 o'clock I was helping my aunt with some paperwork for her company for a little extra money"
He then pulled out a small purple box with a red ribbon and continued, "Last night before they left, Tabatha came with me to help pick out something that I was saving up for you. Do you remember that ring Danny was going to give to Valerie a few weeks back?"
She nodded. He then continued, "Well I figured since we officially became girlfriend and boyfriend, it sort of inspired me to get you something, so worked hard with my aunt and she gave me the extra money I needed to get this"
He opened the box to reveal a gold ring with a green emerald at the top, inside the ring there was an engraving that said D+A. She covered her mouth in awe and then he grabbed her hand gently and placed the ring on her finger.
"Dayla I have never felt like this about anyone before, this ring was actually the one my father gave to my mother in high school when they first met. I took it to the jewellers to have it mended and to get a new stone placed in and then got it engraved" He said. "Mum gave it to me a few months after my father died and said that when I meet the girl who I know is definitely the one for me, give her this as a promise. I promise that I will never hurt you or anything and that I will always be by your side"
She then began to cry some tears of joy and then they both kissed each other, they pulled apart and both chuckled and giggled. He then took her to the dining room where there was spaghetti bolognaise and garlic bread set out onto the table. This was definitely one of the best nights of her life.
The next day since there was a day off from school, Tucker had continued to hang out with Sam and Gregor and to say he was being annoying was an understatement, he messed up Gregor's game of mini golf but he was unfazed by this, ate like a pig during lunch at the Nasty Burger and as usual Gregor just smiled and laughed while Sam became even more annoyed and then as they sat in Sam's theatre room at her home, Tucker sat between them and played a video game while the movie was playing.
His phone then rang and he saw that Danny was calling, he left the room and said, "I have to take this"
"So do I apparently" Sam said sarcastically.
He answered the phone and said, "Yo dude what's up?"
"Hey Tucker anything to report?" Danny asked. He answered, "Well I brought this great graphic novel at the Skulk and Lurk, I scored two and a par at the golf course and Sam's got some kicking new surround sound"
"I mean anything about Gregor?" Danny clarified.
"If he's a spy, then he's really cool for a spy" He answered.
"Tucker my friend, movie is over" Gregor said. "You up for bowling?"
"Gotta go" Tucker said and then hung up.
Danny sighed and looked down as he sat down on his bed, "Great. Now I'm losing both my best friends"
He then heard a knock on his door, it opened and he saw it was Andrew standing there. He walked in and said, "Hey man what's up?"
"Oh uh hey Andrew" He replied. Andrew sighed and asked, "Danny let me ask you something. Do you like Sam as in more than just friends?"
"Well I…I'm not sure. I just don't want her to get hurt if I'm right about Gregor" He answered.
"That's understandable. You and Sam have been best friends for a real long time. Maybe you should actually talk to Gregor or Sam about this" He suggested. He then left the room and said, "I'll be with Dayla at the movies if you need us man"
The next day after gym, Danny was at his locker in the boys change room putting his gym shoes in his locker. He saw Gregor at the other end of the locker's and sighed as he practiced what he was about to take Andrew's advice and figure out what to say, "Gregor I know you're not what you seem to be and…Argh! Gregor I know you're up to something and…"
He then face palmed himself and groaned, "Come on! Find the words"
He closed his locker and saw Gregor standing right next to him. He said, "Danny I wish to talk to you, if you are done talking to yourself"
"Uh…uh…oh…um sure Gregor" He said as he sat down on the bench. "Uh what's up?"
"I am not blind. You do not like me" He began.
"Gregor, that's not…" Danny began but he cut him off, "Let me finish. You do not like me because you want to protect Sam and I respect this"
"I-it's not just that" Danny said. Gregor then asked, "You like her more than just friends?"
"Well…" Danny said slowly. Gregor sat down next to him and said, "You hesitate which means you're not sure. I am not and I'm going to ask her out. I hope we can…how do you Americans say? Hang out"
He then hugged him and said, "I am glad we had this chat"
And then to Danny's shock, he gave him a kiss on both his cheeks and then walked away. He glared and stood up to say something but then looked to see that he was gone.
"Somehow, I pictured this chat going differently" He muttered.
The last bell rang and everyone walked out of the school, Danny walked out alone and saw Sam holding Gregor's hand as she and Tucker walked with him. She looked back at him at first with a glare, but then it changed to looking down and looked away, Tucker then did the same thing and Gregor just smiled and waved at him. Danny gave a small wave and then looked down sadly as he started heading home.
Later that evening, Danny was sitting in the living room looking down at the floor. Dayla was about to head out when she saw him, she sighed and then sat down next to him.
"Are you okay?" She asked.
"I'm fine" He answered. She then asked, "Look I'm gonna meet Andrew at the observatory if you wanted to come. Tucker and Sam will be there, I know you don't like Gregor but maybe you two can talk it out. So what do you say?"
He shook his head and said, "Nah. I'll stay home"
"Okay" She said and then was about to leave until they both heard Jack call out in his usual loud voice, "Danny! Dayla! Come to the kitchen please!"
They went to the kitchen and then gasped at the sight of Agents O and K talking with their parents. Agent K pulled out a familiar purple PDA and showed it to them as he said, "We managed to trace this PDA to Tucker Foley. We figured the Phantom's must be associates of his"
"Have you checked uh…Dash Baxter?" Danny asked.
"Or Paulina Sanchez?" Dayla added.
"Affirmative. Baxter is too much of an oaf to be the ghost boy and the Sanchez girl couldn't be her either. And as for your brother, he's too pre-pubescent" Agent O answered.
"HEY!" Danny exclaimed in offence.
"And it's not that Manson girl or the Knight boy. Which leaves the Gregor kid we saw them hanging around with" He finished.
"Of course! How could we not see that? He's got white hair and so does the ghost boy and if we go after him, his sister will come out" Agent K said.
They both then pulled out their blasters and ran out of the house. Jack then called out, "If you ever need a Guy in Orange, Jack Fenton's your man!"
Their parents left the kitchen and Danny then said, "Wait, Gregor can't be a spy for them if they're going after him with guns blazing"
"So that means Sam, Tucker and Andrew are right in the line of fire!" Dayla exclaimed.
At the Amity Park Observatory, Tucker looked through one of the telescopes out on the balcony, Andrew looked through the other one and Sam stood beside Gregor.
"Cool! It's a new moon. You guys want to check it out?" Tucker asked Sam and Gregor.
"Later perhaps. I wish to have a word with Sam in private" Gregor answered.
He then led Sam over near the doors and held her hands gently and said, "I will not mince words Sam, I like you and I would like to go steady"
"With me?" Sam asked smiling. He nodded and said, "With you and not with your losing friend Tucker or even Dayla and her boyfriend Andrew"
Her smile dropped and she corrected, "Its loser"
"Then you agree?" He asked.
Andrew heard what he said and walked up with Tucker and said, "Hey! Dayla's not a loser!"
"Exactly! Tucker maybe annoying but he's one of my best friends and so are Dayla and Andrew. They're part of the package" She said with her arms crossed.
"Uh…are we interrupting something?" Tucker asked. He then saw Gregor glare at him and then his accent dropped as he yelled, "Dude! Do you ever stop talking?! Do you even know how obnoxious you are with your stupid jokes and your lame technology?! Idiot!"
His eyes then widened at his mistake and he looked down and said, "Oh darn it!"
"Wait a minute! You were faking it? The accent and the liking Tucker, just to get on my good side?" Sam asked.
"Duh! I'm a guy! I mean I really like you but…come on!" He exclaimed gesturing to Tucker who frowned in response.
Andrew glared at him and said, "You really have crossed the line this time"
"Hmmmhmm" Sam said as she glared even harder.
"We're through aren't we?" Gregor asked. Sam answered, "Oh beyond"
He then saw Star and Jennifer walk out onto the balcony. He smiled and put on a football jacket and ran over there as he said, "Cheerleaders. I better adjust my pitch. Hey babes! You like football?"
"Okay can me and Tucker hit him for you?" Andrew asked.
They all suddenly heard a noise and turned to see a missile heading straight for them, they moved out of the way just in time and the missile hit the wall of the balcony.
"Thanks but I think that's covered" Sam said.
They looked up to see that it was the Guys in White and that they were aiming their weapons right at Gregor.
"Gregor although I think you're the world's biggest jerk, run!" Sam screamed.
Gregor got up and started running as they fired their laser cannons chasing him around the balcony, meanwhile Dayla and Danny were flying at top speed heading for the observatory, they both then stopped as soon as they heard the blasts and looked to see the Guys in White already attacking.
"Oh no! We're too late!" Danny exclaimed and then they charged straight for the observatory.
They kept firing their weapons at him and then he tripped over and landed right in front of the door, just underneath the giant globe of the earth hung above him, the Guys in White then fired two missiles and blasted the poles holding the globe up, it started to fall towards Gregor and was about to crush him but then Tucker grabbed him and moved him out of the way just in the nick of time.
"Dude! You saved my life!" Gregor exclaimed in relief.
"Yeah but I despise you now" Tucker said.
They both then ran as the Guys in White fired a couple of more blasts at them. Agent K grinned as he said, "We got the ghost boy on the run and soon his sister will be coming out"
They both suddenly heard tapping on their jet's window and they both turned to see a smirking Danny and Dayla Phantom floating outside.
"You boys looking for us?" They both asked in unison.
They both then flew underneath the jet and then phased inside and grabbed hold of them each and phased them out of the jet, the plane then fell out of the sky and crashed into the mountain side.
"This town is too crazy for me, I'm going back to Michigan!" Gregor said and then started running away.
"Don't you mean Hungary Gregor?" Andrew asked. He replied yelling out, "My name is Elliot!"
Back in the sky Danny held onto Agent K while Dayla held onto Agent O by their collars. Danny then said, "We're only gonna say this once. Stay away from those kids"
"Or what?" Agent K challenged.
The answer came when they flew them down to their headquarters and threw them into the puddles of mud that was outside the building, they both then became covered in mud. They both dusted off their hands as Dayla said, "Hey you asked"
They both then flew off leaving Agents O and K to face their boss who was now really angry, "O! K! Is that a cleanliness breach? Are your suits completely blacked with filth?!"
"Uh…uh…did you know in Hungary white is the new black?" Agent O asked with a nervous smile.
The next day Danny, Dayla, Sam, Tucker and Andrew all stood out the front of Casper High. Danny then explained everything to Sam, "I'm sorry Sam. I never should have betrayed your trust by spying on you and your boyfriend"
"Urgh! He's not my boyfriend" Sam said. "I dumped him as soon as I figured out that you were right about him being a phony"
She then looked down and said, "Apparently that is the only way a boy could like me"
"That's not true Sam" Dayla said.
"That's totally not true" Danny then said. "There are a million reasons a boy could like you. I mean you're smart, you're fun, you're cool, and you're pretty…"
He immediately stopped himself from talking. Sam smirked and blushed a deep red at that. He then said, "Why am I still talking? I am such a spazz. Still friend?"
"Pssh! The best" She answered.
"Hey do you think I can use that 'pssh!' thing to pick up girls?" Tucker asked.
He then grinned as he saw Paulina and Star walk past them, he rearranged his beret backwards and then walked up to them, "Excuse me ladies…"
He then did the pssh! Thing and then both of the girls squealed in disgust and slapped him across the face.
"That's a no" Danny, Sam, Dayla and Andrew said in unison and then started laughing hysterically.
