Chapter 4

Authors note:

Chapter 4 guys! Can I say this one has a good amount of fluff and its got a lighthearted theme. For most of it… hey I have to have hurt I mean that's why you guys are here. Anyway Enjoy.

Sam's POV

"Val this is getting ridiculous" I said as Valerie punched the control panel.

"Well do you have any bright ideas because I'd love to hear them!" she pushed many different letters and numbers but all led her to the same outcome.

PASSWORD DENIED

I groaned as she cursed. We had been working on hacking into the Fenton's database for 2 hours now and we still had nothing. Valerie had decided that if we learn about all the ghosts and their weaknesses we could catch them and force them to help us take Dan down. I didn't have the heart to tell Valerie that I already knew most of the ghosts because of Danny's ghost side so I just let her do this.

"You're going about this all wrong" I stated "if you're going to crack a Fenton's computer you need to think like a Fenton."

"Well please be my guest sweetie cuz I'm done" she shuffled away from the computer.

"I still don't feel right about this."

"Sam you lived here once. You have the right to be here."

I sighed. We shouldn't be here it wasn't right. I squirmed in the desk chair. We were practically breaking and entering I mean it's not like I officially lived here anyway and even if I did I don't anymore.

I quickly put in the first thing that came into my head open sesame.

PASSWORD DENIED

I continued putting things like ghost, Fenton's rule! Ghosts exist I even put Danny rulez just in case Danny switched it but nothing worked.

I slammed my head on the computer.

"See I told you it was—"

PASSWORD ACCEPTED!

My head whipped up "you were saying."

Valerie cursed a few times while I chuckled Serves her right.

We looked through every file, every camera and every email but everything was gone. There was no ghost information anywhere in fact the only thing that remained was a file labeled fudge.

"Val should I-" I snickered "should I check the fudge?"

She facepalmed "I guess we might as well get something out of this."

I smiled as I clicked on the file. The file had some recipes, some videos and a picture.

"Well that was a waste of time." She huffed.

"On the contrary I think this was time well spent." I quickly saved the file onto my USB before logging off.

"Well I guess we can get outta here now."

"NO!" I exclaimed.

"Why not?"

"I wanna get something first." I sped out of the basement and ran down the familiar halls until I stopped in front of a recognizable door.

I took a shaky breath and hesitantly forced myself inside. The walls were still aligned with space posters and ghost weapon designs. It was dusty probably because it had been untouched for the last two years. I quietly went to the dresser and searched feverishly for the object I had been robbed of long ago. It was a neatly wrapped rectangular box with a small red bow on it. I contentedly sighed this was the present Danny was going to give me on my birthday unfortunately that was the day we had been imprisoned.

I felt my spirits drop as I watched the present in my hand. On one hand Danny had really wanted to keep it a surprise and I'd feel bad if I just opened it. On the other hand I don't even know if Danny's alive and if he is than I'm pretty sure he's gone nutty.

To hell with it I quickly unwrapped the small gift effortlessly and carefully opened the box. Inside was a beautiful amulet made of amethyst with a lovely silver chain. It was magnificently simple and I loved it.

"That's lovely Sam" I jumped at Valerie's sudden intrusion.

"Yeah…"

"You miss him don't you?"

I nodded numbly as I put the necklace on. This necklace is all that's left of you and I Danny and as long as I have this than you'll always be with me just like we planned.

I smiled weakly at Val at least she would always be there for me.

"Val, can we stay a bit longer?"

She smirked "I knew you were gonna say that and yeah I have things that need to be done before we leave anyway."

She looked at me thoughtfully and I couldn't supress the urge for a friendship hug so I didn't. I quietly gave my friend a light hug for a few seconds before returning to looking at my necklace.

"So what room are you gonna stay in? This one or is it too painful?"

She looked nervous of my reply so I simply nodded and pushed her out of the room saying a quick goodnight as I did.

"Well Danny's room looks like it's just you and me this time." I mumbled as I flopped onto Danny's bed.

"I wonder, would Danny be stupid enough to leave his laptop here." I swiftly checked under the mattress and there it was.

I giggled as I opened the dinosaur computer. It was password locked as well but his password was easy. Paulina Fenton

PASSWORD DENIED

"Thank god he changed it!" I carefully typed in open sesame next and whaddya know.

PASSWORD ACCEPTED!

I know Danny more than Danny knows Danny. I quickly hooked my USB up and streamed the fudge file. The recipes and videos filled the computer once again. I smirked as I started to watch all the home videos of him and Jazz as kids. Youth I really wish you hadn't left us so quickly.

I had gone through almost of the videos except a few that I had been avoiding. Danny's just in case of death video that he said he had made just in case one day he didn't make it back from a fight. This one was only directed at me while he had others for the rest of team phantom. Everyone else would never get to see theirs but at least I could see mine.

I timidly pressed the play button.

Danny was in his room sitting on his desk chair adjusting the camera.

"I wonder if it's on… yeah I think it is" he spoke shakily as if he were very nervous or anxious I can never tell with him.

He breathed in a few times before starting. "Hey Sam if you're watching this than I'm probably well ya'know gone… but don't get upset! Although you probably will… and I don't blame you I'd be upset too!" Danny you have a way with words.

"A-anyway I know this must be hard for you. You especially because we were pretty close… but I just wanna let you know that just because I'm gone doesn't mean we aren't still close. I'm always gonna be there watching you… I mean watching over you!"

I could see him blush slightly and I couldn't help but smile.

"Ugh, listen what I'm trying to say is I'll always be with you wherever you are, in life or death. I will protect you for as long as I can but I don't how I'll do it when I'm gone so you're going to have to get stronger."

I smirked oh don't worry Danny I've gotten strong.

"I wish I could be there with you right now… wow now I actually miss you and I'm not even dead yet! I'm probably going to find you and hug you after this. Well not you, you but uh ugh." He facepalmed.

"Sam there's a reason why I'm so nervous. It's because there's been something I've been meaning to tell you for a while now and well now that I'm gone I have nothing to lose. Well here goes…" he paused and faced the camera in determination.

"You are very important to me. More than anyone in my entire life, I think about you every day and I worry about you constantly. When you leave I feel sick and when you're here I feel worse… does that make any sense?"

I felt tears start to flow it makes sense.

"I think that you're the prettiest girl I've ever seen. Way better than Paulina on a scale of one to ten she's a five and you're like 87" he chuckled "I hope my math amuses you."

"I'll be honest with you Sam the first time I saw you I never imagined that I'd care about you so much. But we can't all have love at first sight can we?" he paused "what I'm trying to say is I love you Sam."

He crossed his arms "whether you like it or not. I'm not changing my mind anytime soon so you either love me back or get over it."

I gasped, he what now?

"I've always loved you… it just took me awhile to figure it out. Sorry if I'm a little late… but we'll meet again. I promise." he smiled one last time before the screen went black.

My hands shook. Why'd he have to do that? The tears that had stopped were beginning to flow again. I was so convinced that if I let him go everything would be fine. My head hit the pillow as a flush of memories ran past me. His tender smile, the way he'd act so clueless when really I was the clueless one. All this time he loved me and I never saw it. I punched the mattress and let out a heartbreaking wail.

I stayed there just weeping into his pillow for hours until I couldn't take it anymore. I slowly shut my eyes and whimpered until I fell asleep.

"Sam…"

Who is that?

"Sam I'm still here, you're not alone. You never were."

Danny's face ran past my mind.

"You're not alone remember I promised." He tossed me a boyish smile.

"But your dead!" I said through tears.

"Shh its okay… we'll be together soon I promise."

"But I-"

"I promise" His voice rang through me and somehow calmed my aching heart.
