I just want to say a big thank you to all who have been reading and writing reviews. I am loving writing this story, and I hope you're loving it just as much. Enjoy!
"Who the hell were those two?!" Jazz exclaimed still holding her throat. Jack leaned down to help his daughter up.
"The girl, I have no idea," Danny said shaking his head and turning back into Fenton. "The guy was Dr. Silas Graves, he invented that Transference gun"
Sam walked over to the display and read the invention description "...'obtaining ghostly powers from a Ghost entity. Once successful in accessing the ghostly powers, the human subject could then switch the trigger and point the tool to themselves to allow the transfer of power into the human subject.' This guy was crazy. And that clearly didn't change when he turned into a ghost."
"The only reason why he didn't get to complete his invention back then was because of the lack of technology available. But now…" Danny trailed off.
Maddie picked up where he left off, "He'll be able to complete it…"
"And then steal other ghosts' powers." Tucker completed. Just then Naomi along with two security personnel and her assistant walked into the exhibit to see that it was destroyed with remnants of ecto energy all over the room.
"Next time, amp up the ghost shield so that no ghosts can get within 10 feet of the museum" Naomi stated to her assistant who quickly opened up his notepad to write it down.
"We're going to have to shut down temporarily, this is now a crime scene" One of the security personnel stated.
"Hang on champ, this is a ghost crime scene, if anyone should have authority over this, it's us" Jack stated.
The security guard was about to protest until Naomi stepped in, "It's true Gus, let them be the ones to take over" Naomi looked to the group in the room and smiled, "There's no one else I trust more in this situation" Naomi then turned her attention back to her assistant and security personnel "please inform the staff downstairs to have the guests escorted out."
"We're sorry about this Naomi," Danny started but Naomi waved her hand to stop him.
"Please don't worry. This kind of stuff happens in Amity Park! And I have no doubt you will all get that invention back. This was still a wonderful night, thank you all" Naomi then turned to walk out, "what a grand opening!"
"Danny, what happened in there? Did a ghost attack?"
"Danny, there's rumors that something was stolen, can you tell us what?"
Not only did the paparazzi shout questions at the group, but fans started to come by as well with the mention of the ghost fight earlier. Some of them had made signs showing their affection and appreciation.
"Danny! Please sign my ass!"
"Tucker! I love you, you're so hot!"
"Sam! Let me get a chance at that pussy!"
Danny always tried to ignore the shouts that came at them, he really did. But at the last one, his eyes glowed dangerously green in anger for Sam. He stopped to glare over to where the vile request came from, earning more shouts and flashes of lights from the paparazzi. But to Danny, they may as well have not been there, because at the moment, all he saw was red. Danny gritted his teeth and clenched his fist that wasn't holding Sam's hand.
"Oh shit, he's going to beat someone up!" Shouted a pap
"This is just what I need for the cover! Oh yeah baby, bring the big bucks!" Responded another pap.
Danny stood there looking for the douchebag who shouted that at his girlfriend. Even Tucker stopped walking to look over with Danny. Danny loved Sam in a romantic sense, but the love that Tucker had for Sam was brotherly. The three of them grew up together and had been through so much that Tucker considered them both as family. Because of their relationship, he also didn't appreciate the sexual advances that Sam got from assholes as his sister, and then for Danny as his brother.
Sam then put one hand on Tucker's back, and squeezed Danny's hand with her other one to keep them walking forward. Begrudgingly, both men started forward but still had their heads turned in the direction of the shout, knowing that if they found the person who said it, they would both run over, disregarding everyone there and make the idiot regret saying it in the first place. In an effort to protect Sam, Danny let go of her hand and wrapped his arm around her body, shielding her from creeps looking at her.
It wasn't like the group hadn't gotten weird shouts, fanmail, DMs, or posts about them before, but as of lately, the group had been getting more sexual advances. This was the hardest thing for Danny and Tucker to navigate as Sam seemed to be an easier target getting the majority of the sexual attention and requests. Yes, women would send creepy requests to both Tucker and Danny, but they were easy to dismiss and didn't push more. The men, however, did not hold back at all, and if they were told no, they would just say something more vulgar. Sam always did her best to downplay it and ignore it for the sake of Danny and Tucker, but on the inside, she was always seething.
The Fentons, Tucker, and Sam quickly got into the limo that was waiting for them. Once they were settled, the driver shut their door, walked around to the driver's side, got in his seat, started the car, and drove off.
Everyone in the limo could tell that both Danny and Tucker were pissed, with Danny's eyes still glowing green and Tucker clenching his fists and grinding his teeth. Both men tried to take deep breaths to calm themselves down.
Jazz was the first to break the silence in an attempt to get her brother and his best friend to focus on something else, "What do you think Silas is missing? Is there any way to prevent it?"
"We'll have to do some research and see how far he got into the invention," Maddie responded. "I wonder if the museum had any blueprints displayed?"
"We should go back tomorrow to ask. They must have something that could help us narrow the search" Sam finished. She looked back over to Danny and Tucker and saw that they were still seething. Sam lightly squeezed Danny's hand to get his attention. At the squeeze, Danny looked over to her and softened. His eyes turned from green back to their normal blue. Sam gave a soft smile to him as if saying, "It's okay, don't worry about it." At that, Danny gave a small smile as if to say "I'm sorry" and took one last breath to calm his heart rate down. He then put his arm around Sam and she nestled into him.
Sam then looked over to Tucker and stretched her arm out to touch his knee. Tucker looked over to Sam and visibly calmed down as well. Tucker grabbed her hand quickly and gave her a squeeze as if to say "I'm sorry."
With both Danny and Tucker calmed down they focused back on the conversation. "We can go over tomorrow and see what the museum has," Danny said indicating only to Sam and Tucker.
Finally, the limo got to the Fenton's house as the last stop of the night. "Hey, thank you, Alfred! This has been fun!" Jack exclaimed getting out of the limo.
"It was fun for me to Mr. Fenton" The limo driver responded with a polite smile.
"Are you going to tell Dad that his name was actually Stanley?" Jazz asked her mom. Maddie only sighed, "It's been a long night.."
"Oh boss, we got it! I can't believe we got it!" Circe exclaimed.
Silas was gently looking at his invention with adoration and protection, "did you think we weren't going to get it?"
Circe then stopped jumping around the warehouse at his tone, "No. Not at all. I was just saying that I'm happy we got it. That's all"
"Mmph. Circe, please understand," Silas then waltzed over to Circe to grab her throat, "Don't ever doubt me. I get what I want." Silas let go of Circe and leaned down to give her a light bite on her neck.
"I know, boss. That's what I love about you," Circe then melted into Silas' arms.
Before Circe could give Silas a kiss, he stepped away turning his back to her. "This halfa is going to be an issue though, he has much more power than I could have anticipated. What's his name?"
Circe frowned at Silas' change of demeanor, "Danny Phantom"
Silas widened his eyes at the hearing of Danny's name "Danny Phantom," Silas whispered as a commitment to remember Danny's name. Silas then turned over to Circe and walked back to her pushing her back to the wall. Circe gave a wicked smile in his approach.
"What else do you know about him? Tell me" Silas said while going down to give a series of hickeys on Circe's neck.
"Not much. Like I said, I know he saved the world a few years ago" Circe responded while taking pauses to return Silas' advances.
"I need to know everything about him. Who were the the other people that were there, his weaknesses, his strong points, everything" Silas said as he started taking Circe's jacket off. "Can I trust you to find out that information?"
Circe then started unbuttoning Silas' pants, "of course."
"What do you think is up with the laughing? The guy is already creepy, he doesn't need another element to his freakiness" Tucker asked sitting in Danny's desk chair. Jazz, Maddie and Jack had decided to go to bed, but Tucker, Danny and Sam were hanging out in Danny's room talking about the events earlier.
"It was very unsettling," Sam said while sitting on Danny's bed with Danny. "But his vibe matches with the girl's, she was something else too. What was her name, Circe?" Tucker nodded at Sam's question.
"Neither of them are here all the way," Danny said pointing to his head. "Seems they hit every branch of craziness from the ghost zone."
"Seriously though," Tucker responded. Tucker then yawned and looked over to Danny's alarm clock seeing that it was past 1 AM. "I gotta get back home guys," Tucker said as he got up to start putting his shoes on. "Text me what time we're meeting at the museum tomorrow,"
"I gotta get home too," Sam then got up to put her own shoes on.
"Wanna go flying for old time's sake?" Danny asked his friends turning back to Phantom.
Tucker waved Danny and Sam off, chuckled, and walked out of Danny's room. "I'm gonna walk. Have fun, lovebirds!"
"You don't even have to ask," Sam said. Danny then picked Sam up bridal style and turned intangible to fly out of his window to her house. Once they got to Sam's room, Danny turned back to Fenton, settled Sam on her feet, and watched her take her shoes and jewelry off.
"My parents aren't here, they're on a business trip," Sam said placing the promise ring that he had given to her on her vanity. She then walked over to Danny and placed her arms around his neck, "Would you want to stay over?"
Danny then grabbed Sam by the waist and gave her a passionate kiss in response. Sam then started wringing her fingers in his hair. Without breaking the kiss, Danny slid his shoes off and led Sam towards her bed, gently placing her down with him on top.
Sam started on Danny's tie to take it off. Once she was successful she threw the tie over the bed, not caring where it landed. She then started on his belt while Danny started untying Sam's dress.
In the past 4 years, the two of them had done sexual acts to each other, but they never quite got the opportunity to get to the main event. It wasn't for lack of trying though, but more that there was always something that interrupted them. Oftentimes, it was Danny's ghost sense that went off. Sometimes there would be a knock on the door when they thought they were alone or worse, when they could hear the paparazzi or fans outside shouting at their bedroom window killing the mood entirely.
But tonight felt different. As they broke apart to look into each other's eyes they understood the magnitude of what tonight could mean. "Do you want to…" Danny trailed off, hoping for a yes.
Sam smiled and responded by lightly pushing Danny off of her to stand up. She finished Danny's work on the dress and let it drop to the floor, exposing herself entirely to Danny. Danny swallowed hard and had a boner already forming, which Sam could see. Sam chuckled lightly, to which Danny blushed. Sam walked towards him to help him unbutton his shirt while Danny worked on taking his pants off. Finally, Danny was as exposed to Sam as she was to him. Sam lightly pushed Danny onto her bed and got on top of him spreading her legs on each side to kiss him deeply. Danny wrapped one arm around her waist, with his other hand on her ass. Without breaking the kiss, Danny then flipped them both so he was on top with Sam now on the bed. Danny could feel Sam smile in the kiss.
Before getting too far, Danny quickly broke the kiss to check with Sam that she wanted to do this. Before he could get a word out, Sam placed her fingers on his lips and gave a small nod. She then grabbed his neck to bring his lips to hers again. Danny brought himself to Sam's opening to finally be one. He made sure to go slowly to ease in for Sam so as to not hurt her. As he started going in, he felt Sam stiffen. He immediately stopped and looked into her eyes. "No, I'm okay. Please keep going." Danny still waited unsure of what to do. Sam placed her hand on his cheek, "Danny, I promise," she gave a light kiss on his lips, "Please I want you."
Danny continued to slide slowly inside while kissing Sam's neck. When he was fully in, both let out a moan and melted into each other.
Danny and Sam were now spooning with the sheet covering them. Sam had been sleeping peacefully for a while, but Danny couldn't close his eyes. He was replaying everything that happened in his head. He and Sam finally became one and it was everything and more than he imagined it would be. As he looked down at Sam, he gave her a light kiss on her temple and held her closer to him. While looking at Sam, Danny thought of their relationship. She was always there for him, whether it was school drama or ghost drama, he could always count on her, as he knew she could always count on him for everything. The woman in his arms was everything to him. If he had to pick between the world or her, without any hesitation it would be her, always. She was his world, and he would protect her with everything he had. If he had to burn the whole world down to keep her safe, he would in a heartbeat. It was a promise he silently made to himself, but he decided this was the moment to make a promise to her forever.
Slowly, Danny turned his arm that was under Sam intangible and got out of bed. He turned to Phantom and his whole body intangible to fly out of her room to his room. Once he made it into his bedroom, he went into his sock drawer and pulled the ring out. Now holding the ring, he flew back to her house readying himself to ask the question.
Once he made it back, he turned back to Fenton and got on one knee next to her bed. With the moonlight shining into the bedroom, he grabbed Sam's left hand, kissed it, and lightly rubbed his thumb on her hand. "Sam…"
Sam didn't move, so Danny tried again, "Sam, Sam wake up. I need to ask you something"
Sam moaned a little but didn't open her eyes, "Can it wait till tomorrow?"
Danny chuckled and kissed her hand again, "No it can't."
"Mmm, what is it?"
"Sam, will you marry me?"
Sam's eyes then shot open and looked at Danny. She noticed he was on one knee and held a ring in his other hand. "What.."
Danny smiled, "I had a whole other plan on how I would propose to you. Being naked was not what I anticipated, but looking at you now, I can't wait any longer and I know in my heart that this is the right moment. Sam, I told you a long time ago that I couldn't have done any of this without you. That is still true to this day and will forever be true. You are my best friend and I love you with everything I have. You are my soul and heart, Sam. You have all of me. Whatever I go through, I want to do it with you for the rest of my life," Danny held the ring up for Sam to see easily. He then took a deep breath in an effort to slow his heart rate "Sam, will you marry me?"
Sam was speechless. She knew that she and Danny would always end together, but she was not expecting a proposal anytime soon. Having a moment to process everything he just said she grabbed Danny's hand, "Danny, I love you with everything I am. I know in my heart that you are my one and only, and spending the rest of my life with you would be the greatest gift ever..." Sam trailed off with tears welling up in her eyes. From the moonlight, seeping into her bedroom she could tell that Danny was tearing up a bit too. "Danny, yes. Yes, I will marry you."
Both Danny and Sam smiled and released their breaths thar they didn't realize they were holding. Danny positioned Sam's hand so he could slide the ring on. Once it was on, both Danny and Sam stared at it, processing and understanding the meaning behind this ring. "Oh Danny, It's beautiful" Sam stated as she brought her hand up to pose it.
Danny leaned down to give her a long passionate kiss. "I'm glad you love it" Danny settled the box on the nightstand and slid back into bed under the sheet. He placed his hand on Sam's cheek and brought his lips to her to give her another passionate kiss. Sam melted into the kiss and wrapped her hand in his hair deepening the kiss. She also wrapped her leg around his body welcoming him inside again.
As a newly engaged couple, they made love for the second time that night.
