Sitting on the couch, Jazz pouted at having been forbidden by her parents from placing bets on where Danny went to on his vacation for a few rounds. She was an adult, damn it! Why was she being treated like a child?!

"This is for your own good, Jazzy Pants!" declared Jack, having heard how obsessed his daughter became with betting on Rome all of the time.

"Your father is right, sweetie. This will do you some good," added Maddie, giving her a reassuring smile.

"And what if Danny ended up going to Rome this time?" asked Jazz, giving her parents a side glare.

"Knowing your luck Danny didn't go to Rome at all," stated Kitty, earning a glare from the eldest Fenton child.

"Uh, Kitten, you sure it's a good idea to antagonize her?" asked Johnny, worried that his girlfriend will get hurt.

"Where do you guys think Danny went to this time anyway?" questioned Sam, wanting to avoid a possible scrimmage.

Valerie gave it some thought as she looked at the world map. "Kinda hard to tell at this point. Danny keeps jumping from continent to continent with most of the cities he's visited."

Kitty turned to Desiree, hope in her eyes. "Hey, Desi! Do you think you could use your magic to tell us where Danny is?"

"No," came the immediate reply, causing Kitty to pout. "I actually quite like this game you children are playing and using my magic would make it too easy for you."

Besides, they didn't need to know that she WAS using her magic to keep an eye on Daniel, Ember, and the little one. As such, she made sure to make a copy of Ember's fight with that Winona girl for future viewing.

Desiree was broken out of her thoughts when Tucker's phone went off with a new message from Danny.

Hey, everyone! I let the wind lead me to my next stop this time.

"…He went to Chicago?" questioned Tucker, referring to the city's moniker of "The Windy City".

When he opened up the attached file though, everyone saw pictures of the Singel Canal, the Bloemenmarkt, the Munttoren, The Night Watch statues at Rembrandtplein, Sunflowers at the Van Gogh Museum, the Gooyer, and the Royal Concertgebouw.

"…He went to Amsterdam," said Sam in a deadpan tone. A small, traitorous part of her brain was telling her about the things Danny MIGHT have done during his stay there, but her more logical side shut it up, saying that Danny was NOT like that.

As they all discussed the landmarks Danny saw in Amsterdam, a sudden knock at the door caught their attention. Maddie went over to answer the door, finding a deliveryman standing there.

"Express delivery for a Sam Manson?"

Maddie and especially Sam were confused as to why she would get a package delivered to the Fenton residence. Accepting the delivery, Maddie tipped the man and brought the package inside, looking it over.

"Oh, it's from Danny!" stated the Fenton matriarch with a smile.

That confused Sam even further, although there was a slight blush on her face from getting something from Danny. "But why would he have it delivered here?"

"Maybe he knew you were spending most of the summer here," replied Tucker. He then gave off a shrug. "That or he knew what your parents would do if it was delivered to your place."

That caused the Goth girl to grimace since she knew exactly what her parents would do. Accepting the package from Maddie, she opened it up, only to become further confused by what it was.

It was a vase of pink tulips.

"Why would Danny send me pink tulips of all things? He knows I can't stand pink," said Sam with a furrowed brow.

"I think it's sweet that Danny would do something like that," stated Kitty, although deep down she was disappointed since she knew Ember had a thing for Danny and wanted her best friend to be happy.

"I guess," replied Sam with a sigh. "I'll make an exception on pink just this once."

If only they all knew the truth.

The reason why Danny gave Sam pink tulips of all flowers will be revealed next chapters, so no spoilers until then.
