The party continued and all three had fun. Danny had to admit, it was great getting invited and actually having fun for once! He soon broke away from the others, letting them know he was grabbing a quick drink. He was glad that Tex was able to help him clear up which drink was for him since Danny doesn't drink the other kind of drink. He found the punch and took a sip.

"Hey, there! How's it hanging?" Bee said, walking up.

"Good. Just need a little break. I had never seen Charlie dance that long. Even Emily has trouble keeping up with her." Danny said.

"Heh, that girl would love to dance as well as sing. When it comes down to it, she really is a princess." Bee said, smiling.

"Why do you call her princess?" Danny asked.

"Just a nickname for her. Her mother would sometimes call her "her little princess" and I kind of took up the role when she left." Bee said.

"Yeah, I heard. I never got the chance to meet her." Danny said, sighing.

"Don't worry about it. Lilith is well aware of you and how proud she is of Charlie." Bee said.

"Huh?" Danny asked, confused.

"Hey, Bee!" Tex called out, making the two turn to him.

"What's up Tex?" She asked.

"One of those A-Jerks tried to sneak in. I just caught him on camera." Tex said.

"Augh, I hate party crashers." Bee groans before turning to Danny.

"Well, enjoy your first party! Just let me know when you're ready to head home." She said, waving.

Danny smiles. For someone who was named after the Great Fly, she clearly was a lot more fun than he thought. Danny set down his drink before getting ready to head back to the party. Suddenly, he felt his arm get grabbed and pulled under the table. Danny pulled his arm away before seeing Sam next to him.

"Sam?! What are you doing here?" Danny asked, already having a feeling why she was here.

"Getting you out of here," Sam said, making him roll his eyes.

"I was invited, Sam. I didn't want to invite you because of how you treated Charlie and Emily. And that you fail to understand what an animal tamer does." Danny told her.

"She forced animals to take part in tricks against their will!" Sam said.

"No, she trained them to make sure they wouldn't hurt themselves or people. And if the animals are fine with it, then you need to let it go." Danny said, shaking his head.

"Come on, Danny, you need to see that they are just using you," Sam said, making Danny groan.

"For the last time, THEY...ARE...MY...FRIENDS!" Danny almost shouted.

"They've been my friends for two years! Will you get over it?! Not all rich girls are what you think of as. You're rich and you claim to be different!" He told her.

"Because I am!" Sam said.

"No, you're not. You're trying to drag me away from my friends because you think I could use better ones! Tucker told me about your parents. Sounds like something they are trying to do with you!" Danny pointed out.

"I'm not my parents! I know they are using you!" Sam said, denying it.

"How?! What proof do you have?" Danny asked her.

Sam opened her mouth, but nothing came out. Danny waited before seeing she didn't have any proof.

"Yeah, next time, don't jump to conclusions without all the facts. Charlie and Emily saved my life. I owe them for it, and I don't care what anyone says, they are my friends." Danny said, getting ready to leave.

"How can you be so blind?" Sam asked.

"How can you be so stupid?" Danny shot back.

"What?!"

"You see Charlie and Emily as spoiled rich girls that only care about their money. Well, guess what? They hate those kind of people. They care about others, they even donate money to charity from time to time and even help others. Charlie also has a part-time job so she can make money her way. Emily might not have a job, but she at least understands that money isn't everything. So, stop trying to make them out as something they are not!" Danny told her, getting out of the table.

"Danny..." Sam started, trying to grab him.

"No, Sam. Leave me alone." Danny said, getting ready to walk back over to his friends.

Sam growls, not believing that Danny would believe those two over her. She knew they were just using him. She knew they didn't care about him. And she KNEW they were not the people he thought them to be. She had had to make him see that.


Later,

Danny was dancing with Emily again as Charlie and Vaggie took a break. Charlie went to grab drinks for them with Vaggie once more questioning her about Danny.

"Vaggie, please. I understand that you had a rough life before meeting me, but you can't take it out on Danny all the time." Charlie told her.

"I know. I know! But I can't just trust like that. I know he's not a bad person, but he hasn't done anything to show I can trust him." Vaggie said.

"That's because you don't bother to get to know him. Danny would never do anything of those things to you. Don't let one bad experience ruin your chances with others. You had a hard time trusting me when we first met." Charlie brought up.

"That's because I didn't know you at the time. " Vaggie said.

"And that's what you're doing with Danny and Emily. Vag, I love you. But you need to let other people inside beside me." Charlie said, taking her hands.

Vaggie sighs. She knew that was easier said than done. However, thinking back to the past of how she even refused to let Charlie near her until they talked and started to go out, made her wonder if she was too quick to judge Charlie's other friends.

"I'll...think it over." She said, sighing.

"All I ask is that you try," Charlie told her, kissing her cheek.

With that, Charlie went to find their drinks. However, she quickly spotted someone else, someone she knew wasn't invited to her Aunt Bee's party.

"Sam! What are you doing here?!" She asked, marching up to her.

"Saving Danny from you!" Sam said, glaring.

"Saving?! Will you stop it?! You're not saving him! You're trying to take him away! And how did you get in here?" She said, glaring at her.

"None of your business, princess," Sam said, glaring back.

"Oh, when it involves people I'm close to, it is my business," Charlie told her.

Sam kept glaring before Charlie rolled her eyes.

"Sam, just stop. We are Danny's friends. We care about others and wish to help in many ways. That doesn't always involve our money. And if you're still thinking about how Aunt Bee enslaved animals during my dad's circus days, then you have no idea how dangerous animals can be." She said.

Sam opened her mouth but was soon cut off by Emily.

"And you clearly have no idea why Danny chose to be friends with us." She said, standing next to Charlie.

"All three of us come from rich families, but we all have different ideas of how to use it," Charlie said.

"And you think that everyone that comes from a rich family is the same as your parents," Emily added.

"And don't think my dad has forgotten what you said about me earlier this week! He's still mad at you!" Charlie said.

Sam growls, getting ready to speak again. Suddenly, she felt a hand on her shoulder and looked up to see Tex looking down at her.

"I was wondering when you would show up." He said, making Sam pout.

"Hey, Tex," Charlie said, smiling.

"How's it going so far, Charlie?" He asked, smiling back.

"Great! It's been ages since I have been to one of Aunt Bee's parties!" She said, cheerfully.

"Tell me about it. She really goes all out. Even more so for anyone she likes." Tex smiles.

"Thanks, Uncle Tex." Charlie giggles.

Vortex blushed, forgetting who Charlie was related to. He wished he could tell her the truth, but Bee made him swear on Lucifer's name to never tell her until the time was right.

"We're just dating, Charlie," Tex said, trying to fight off his blush.

He then decided it was time to get Sam out before she tried something else.

"Well, I got an uninvited guest to deal with. Enjoy your stay!" He said, pushing Sam away.

Charlie and Emily waved to him before sighing.

"What is with that girl?" Emily asked.

"Seriously, what makes her think we're using Danny? He's our friend." Charlie added.

The girls sigh before returning to the party. Vaggie was actually close by, listening in on everything. She didn't like Sam's attitude and even knew Charlie and Emily were nothing like the other girls. She also knew that Emily and Danny deserved a chance and she couldn't keep letting her past get in the way. While it might not be part of her mission, maybe she should try to get to know them.


And run out of ideas. So, it seemed that there was a party crasher, and that was Sam. She used the A-Lister as means to sneak in, though she still disliked the group. Once again, she tried to save Danny from Charlie and Emily, but Danny once more pointed out they saved his life and were his friends. Danny won't stand for people bad-mouthing Charlie and Emily, even Sam.

Charlie did get Vaggie to understand that she can't let her past get in the way of making new friends and she should at least give Danny a chance. And she going to, in a later chapter. Charlie and Emily even confront Sam and Tex was able to throw her out. And that's where I ran dry on ideas.

Oh, and drake wind, I'm thinking over your idea about making Sam Emily's "Valerie". Not too sure how it happened, but thanks for the ideas. And eecobeo, I'm going to have to turn the idea of Alastor being Sam's cousin down. It's a nice idea, and I like the easter egg, but Alastor will still show up as the trainer for Charlie and the others. And it's spelled Cherri Bomb, by the way.
