Sam woke up with the sun coming in through her window. Without lifting her head she looked around her room seeing articles of clothing thrown about. Her eyes widened as she brought her left hand to her face to see the ring on her ring finger. 'It wasn't a dream' she smiled to herself.
She noticed the strong arm that was wrapped around her belonging to Danny, her boy - no. Her fiancé. She flipped over so that she was facing him. She decided to wake him up by giving him light kisses on his neck. She heard Danny moaning indicating he was awake. She pulled back to see that Danny had opened his right eye slightly to see Sam's face, then gave a small smile.
"I could get used to waking up like this," he said giving her a soft kiss. With his arm still wrapped around her, he brought her on top of him. "Me too," Sam said giving him a longer kiss. The kiss was about to lead to similar events to the night before but both their phones dinged. Danny groaned at the interruption, and Sam grabbed one of their phones to see the text. She saw that it was a text from Tucker.
"We have to get up. Tucker's asking what time we should meet him at the museum" Sam said texting Tucker back quickly. She then settled the phone down and tried to get up but Danny held her to him.
"We don't have to go do we?" Danny asked trying to persuade her to stay as is.
Sam smiled and gave another light peck, "We do actually. We have two psychos out there who are planning to steal other ghosts' powers, and need I remind you Sir, you are a ghost."
Danny grumbled but relented letting Sam go. She got up to go to her bathroom but turned around before she went in. "What kind of ultra recyclo vegetarian would I be if I didn't offer for you to take a shower with me?"
Danny, raised his eyebrows at her question he then turned feral and had a knowing smile on his face, "A bad one," he growled before jumping up and running towards her bathroom, grabbing her hand and shutting the door behind them.
"Well it's about time! Where the hell have you two been?" Tucker grumbled at Danny and Sam who finally chose to show up 45 minutes later than when they had agreed to meet at the entrance of the museum.
"Sorry, Tuck, we lost track of time" Danny said rubbing the back of his neck. Sam could only shrug and smile in response. Tucker looked at them intently, seeing a dazed look on Danny's face and a glow to Sam's.
Tucker shifted his weight between his feet feeling unsettled. "You guys are acting weird, what's going on?" Just then, a glare hit Tucker's eyes. He followed the glare's origin and noticed a ring on Sam's finger. He didn't think anything at first since she usually wore the promise ring on that hand, but when he looked at it closer, he noticed it looked different and fancier.
Tucker gasped and his eyes widened. "Holy sh - mphmhp!" Tucker started but was quickly stopped with Danny's hand on his mouth.
Danny looked around to make sure that there were no paparazzi or fans around them to hear the news.
With his hand still on Tucker's mouth Danny whispered "Let's go inside first." Tucker nodded and practically ran inside the building.
Once Sam and Danny got into the building, Danny shut the door behind Sam and turned to Phantom to fly around the museum quickly to make sure they were the only ones in there.
Tucker put his hands behind his head and looked at Sam's ring again practically bursting with excitement, but he waited until Danny nodded to indicate they were alone. "Holy shit, you guys, are you engaged? Is this the real deal? Can I see it?"
Danny and Sam nodded enthusiastically. Sam raised her hand for Tucker to take and get a good look at the ring. "Damn, Danny this is perfect. Oh my god, you guys!" Tucker then brought Danny and Sam into a bear hug and started tearing up. "I'm so happy for you two. Fuck, congratulations."
"Thanks, Tucker," Both Sam and Danny responded. Danny continued on, "We haven't told our parents yet though, so try to keep this on the down low."
"Yeah of course. Fuck I can't stop looking at it, shit, sorry I'm just - I don't know how to react."
Just then the front door had opened, and the trio turned around to see that it was an older blonde man with glasses.
"Hello Danny, Sam, and Tucker. I am Ivan Kirk, the Head researcher," Ivan said extending his hand to shake all of theirs, "it's nice to meet you all. I hope I'm able to answer all your questions. Where would you like to start?"
Danny was the first to respond, "Nice to meet you Ivan, whatever information you have on the Transference Gun and Dr. Silas Graves would be a great start."
"Ah, of course, follow me" Ivan waved his hand to indicate the trio to follow him, with Danny leading. Sam turned around and noticed Tucker looked like a soda bottle waiting to burst.
"Tucker, come on"
"How am I supposed to continue on as normal for the day?" Sam rolled her eyes and grabbed his hand to drag him with her.
Circe woke up to tools cranking around. She lifted her head to see that Silas was working on the invention on a work table. She quickly put her jacket on and walked towards him. "How's it going?"
"It's coming, but I'm still missing a few key pieces," Silas said as he walked over to the laptop stationed at the far end of the work table. Circe followed him. "For this to work, I need an ecto assessor, a stabilizer, and an ecto reactor. Three things that are vital to the completion of this, and there's no way I can get it!" He exclaimed pushing all the tools, careful to miss his invention, off of the work table in frustration.
Circe was lost in thought thinking of where to get the last few pieces he needed. Once she thought of the perfect place, she smiled wide and started laughing.
Silas turned over to her to give her an incredulous look, "and may I ask what is so funny right now?"
"Boss, it's so clear. You need ghost pieces. It's not like you're gonna find them at the store so that just leaves us to think, where are the only ghost inventors in town…"
Silas then widened his eyes and strutted over to her. He held her upper arm firmly and smiled, "I knew I kept you around for more than pleasure" Silas said as he grabbed Circe's waist.
"Mmhmm that's right. Oh there's something I want to show you too," Circe said as she grabbed the laptop to search for something up quickly to show Silas what she found last night while he was asleep. On the screen there were two tabs, one tab was an article discussing the grand opening of the Ghost Museum last night, listing a brief history of Danny and his family, and the names of Danny's loved ones. Circe then opened the other tab to show a magazine article and a picture of Danny shielding Sam's body, giving a menacing glare out into the public.
"Right there boss," Circe said pointing at Sam on the screen, "Is weakness number 1."
"This is all the research we gathered for Dr. Silas Graves," Ivan indicated by digging the last piece of paperwork from his drawer and placing it on the center table in the basement, which had other folders dedicated to research done for Silas. The trio gulped looking at all the paperwork, knowing they'd have to comb through everything. Ivan looked at the stack, then looked back at the trio, "You know, I can have a team come in and help you all out. This is a lot to go through."
"No, it's okay, the fewer people involved the better. Thanks, though" Said Danny. Ivan nodded then started his way up the stairs, leaving the trio alone in the basement.
Sam sighed and went to the far left corner of the table, "let's just get started."
"Hey Mom, Hey Dad, what are you guys doing?" Jazz said walking down the stairs to see her parents working on a few inventions themselves.
"If last night taught us anything, it's that we need to update our own inventions" Maddie pointed her head towards the table at the far end of the lab, "and it also taught us that we should've invented glasses that can help us see ghosts even when their intangible a long time ago." Jazz picked up the orange glasses and put a pair on. The view didn't change much other than the color it gave the room, giving it an orange hue. Of course, she wouldn't be able to see it in action unless her brother or another ghost turned intangible. She took them off and placed them back on the table.
She walked closer to her parents to see what else they were doing, "So what are you upgrading?"
"Everything we can Jazzy-pants! Your parents have been working hard to get everything ready for crazy pants 1 and 2" Said Jack. Jazz nodded and looked at everything they'd completed so far.
"So the Ecto Skeleton, the Spector Deflectors, the Fenton Phones…"
"When we said we were updating everything, we weren't joking" Said Maddie. Maddie looked up from the invention to see Jazz furrow her eyebrows. "Honey, what's wrong?"
"I was thinking last night if Silas is missing a few pieces to complete his invention, they aren't going to be something like a hammer found at the hardware store…" Both her parents looked up at her to let her finish her thought. "They're gonna have to come here right? We're the only ones with this kind of technology in Amity Park.."
"Ooh right you are, baby cakes!" Exclaimed Circe appearing at the bottom of the stairs.
