THE AMETHYST MASK
A Danny Phantom Love Tale

Chapter 2
Asking You Out

CASPER HIGH, Mr. LANCER'S CLASS
9am

"As you know, February has arrived. "Mr. Lancer said to his students. "So, this is your chance to have the time of your lives. We will be having a School Promenade!"

Everyone was surprised, including Tucker, Danny and Sam. "Wow! I can't believe it! They actually organized another school dance!" Danny exclaimed.

"Sweet!" Tucker exclaimed. "Dance, fun and lots of-" Danny interrupted his best friend. "Girls. Yeah, we know it, Tuck."

However, the celebration inside the classroom was incomplete, thanks to a frowning Goth Girl beside Danny. "Sam, aren't you excited?"

"Hmph." Sam frowned. "Why would I be? It's just another one of those STUPID dances." Sam turned her back to see all of the students chatting about their plans for the dance.

"Now, now, students!" Mr. Lancer exclaimed. "You'll have plenty of time to discuss your plans later. But for now-"

Mr. Lancer was interrupted by a familiar sound that almost every student loves: the school bell. Everyone quickly stood up, packed their things and went straight out of the room. Danny, Tucker and Sam were left behind, waiting for the door to clear.

CAFETERIA
12 noon

Danny and Tucker went into the cafeteria to have lunch. Sam was not able to join them; she has an experiment to conduct at the science lab.

"So, Danny. What's your plans for the dance?" Tucker asked his best friend.

"Hm. I don't know yet." Danny simply answered. "Before I make plans, I have to make sure I have a date."

"Why don't you ask Sam?" Tucker said. "She's your girlfriend. Isn't it obvious?"

"Well, I'm not sure if she wants to go to the dance. She hates it." Danny replied. "Besides, her mother might have bought her a 'dumb' dress again."

"Come on, Danny!" Tucker tried to intimidate his best friend. "I know you want to take Sam to the dance!" "Come on! There's nothing wrong in telling the truth!" Tucker teasingly sang, "DANNY and SAM, sitting in a tree… K-I-S-S-"

"Oh, please!" Danny exclaimed. However, his feelings quickly overpowered his mind. And he wants his annoying friend to stop teasing him. Finally, Danny gave in. "Fine! I want to take Sam to the dance!" Danny yelled. "There, you happy?"

-I-S-S-I-N-G." Suddenly, Tucker stopped. "I knew it!" he said. "Well, good luck asking her out!" Pulling out a folder containing lots of papers, he added, "Meanwhile, I have these application forms and I'm giving them to every girl in the school!"

Since Tucker is the mayor of the City of Amity Park, almost every girl in the school wants to date him. "Say what, Tuck?" Danny asked.

"I can't decide on whom to date, so I will be searching for one!" Tucker answered, while a group of girls began walking towards the techno-geek. The meat-loving Tucker greeted then with a smile, his teeth sparkling, to which the girls screech. "All right, ladies! Make sure you submit the complete requirements before next Tuesday!" Tucker handed each girl his application forms. "Easy, ladies! There are plenty of these for everyone!"

"Uh, dude, you're creeping me out." Danny let out a disgusted expression. "Seriously? Applications?" He added.

"Oh, my God!" Tucker exclaimed. As quick as they could, the girls submitted their application forms, hoping to be selected by Tucker as his date for the School Prom. "It'll require an entire room to contain all of these applications!"

In an instant, an influx of school girls rushed towards Tucker, drowning him in a mound of papers. "Told ya, Tuck." Danny chuckled. "You should have dated your PDA!"

Meanwhile
AT THE SCIENCE LAB

"I don't know, Val. Danny knows that I'm not going to the dance." Sam said to Valerie. They were both conducting an experiment for their latest project. "Besides, he must have already asked another girl."

Valerie tries to convince Sam to go to the school dance. "But what if he hasn't asked yet? What if he has plans to ask you to the dance? You're his girlfriend!" she said.

"I don't know, I'm so confused. Why have I ever hated this dance?" Sam groaned, wanting to toss the test tubes she was holding.

"Don't be upset, Sam! Try to ask Tucker if Danny had asked someone already! Then you can wait for him until he asks you!"

Sam sighed, still unsure whether she will go to the dance or not. Finally, Sam gave in. "Oh, fine. I'm gonna ask Tucker if Danny had asked someone else."

"That's the spirit!" Valerie exclaimed. "Now, can we move on to our experiment?"

THE MANSON RESIDENCE
7pm

After arriving at their house, Sam quickly went into her room and opened her computer. "Come on! I hope Tucker is online." Opening the IM software, she found Tucker online. "Yes!"

END OF CONVERSATION

Suddenly, Sam hears a knock on their door. "Hm. Who could it be?" Sam quickly rushed downstairs and opened the door, to be surprised by Tucker. "Oh. Hey, Tuck. Why you went here?"

"About that asking to the dance thing, Sam." Tucker said. "Danny totally wants to take you to the dance."

"Whoa! Really?" Sam was surprised. Her doubts about Danny finally came to an end. "He really wants to be with me at the prom!"

"Yes, Sam." Tucker confirmed. "So if I were you, I would come to the dance."

"Well, if he asks me, Tuck." Sam answered. "Danny hasn't asked me yet."

Giving Sam a pat on the shoulders, Tucker said, "Don't worry, Sam. Danny will ask you soon." Looking above the night sky, he added, "If he really wants you to be with him on a special night, he should-"

"Should what?" A familiar voice interrupted Tucker. Turning around, he and Sam found nothing. But in a few moments, the face and body of a well-known superhero appeared in front of them. It was no other than Danny, in his ghost form.

"Oh, Danny! I didn't know you were here!" Tucker exclaimed. Danny responded, "Oh, sorry if I interrupted your conversation."

"No worries, Danny." Tucker said. "Actually, Sam was just waiting for you to come!"

"WHAT?" Sam exclaimed. Tucker continued, "Yes, Danny. Sam wants to tell you something."

"WHAT!" Sam exclaimed again. "NO! TUCKER!"

"Well," Tucker smiled. "Would you look at the time! Gotta go home!" In an instant, Tucker disappeared from the streets.

"Umm…" Both of them slyly stammered at each other, giving one another the time to speak. Sam let Danny talk first. "You first, Danny."

"Danny cleared his throat, then began speaking. "Uhh, Sam. I know that you might not want to hear the words I am about to speak, but…" "But…"

Sam asked. "But what, Danny?" Danny wasn't able to speak; he was very nervous. Sam pleaded to know what Danny wants to tell her. "Please, Danny! Tell me anything! It's okay!"

Danny collected all his remaining courage and went silent for a few minutes. Finally, he cannot contain his emotions any longer.

"Sam, would you be my date for the School Prom?"

That is exactly what Sam was waiting for her boyfriend to tell her! She let out a relieved sigh. Sam finally spoke after a few moments of gazing onto her boyfriend, whose emerald eyes are waiting for a simple answer from the amethyst ones. "Yes, Danny! I would love to be with you!"

"Oh! THAT'S GREAT!" Danny carried Sam and hugged her; he couldn't control his happiness. "Oh, thank you, Sam! You have no idea what this means to me!" Danny tightened his sweet bond to the Goth Girl, spinning around to calm down his feelings.

"Well, I want to see you happy, Danny." Sam whispered to the Ghost Boy.

Suddenly, the clock chimes rang. "Oh, no! It's nine in the evening! Better get home quick!" Danny let go of Sam and kissed her in the cheek, before flying into the sky.

Sam screeched in joy as she closed the door and made her way to her bedroom. "YEEEEESSSS!" She screamed. "Sam? Is there something wrong?" Her mom screamed. "Nothing, mom!" Sam yelled.

Meanwhile, Danny arrived at his home. Upon opening the door, he saw his parents and Jazz standing by the door, looking angrily at him. Pointing at the clock hanging by the wall, Jack exclaimed, "Late again, young man."

"Oh, crap." Danny exclaimed. Suddenly, a flock of lovebirds pass above them, sending their poop dodge down into Danny's head, much to his disgust and anger.

Well, that's it for now! Lemme know your thoughts! REVIEW!

See you on the next chapter! Until then,
