Tucker looked up at the clock then over at Danny.

'Dude.... you're Phantom Date is in ten minutes.' Tucker said as Danny pretended to be asleep, but as Tucker spoke those words Danny flipped over violently staring at Tucker.

'How'd you know about that?' Danny asked angrily staring at Tucker.

'Dude it's obvious, you want Sam, living, dead, pick one. And unless you tell her don't be pissed if she falls for the wrong you.' Tucker said Danny sighed. Eric fluttered to the window and cawed in agreement. With Danny causing Danny to stick his tongue out at the bird who shuffled a bit than cocked his head.

'At least she knows Phantom is a ghost right?' Danny asked. Tucker shrugged.

'If you want it that way... aren't you looking for a cure?' Tucker asked. Danny looked at his hands.

'This.....thing....this disorder, whatever this is....' Danny gestured to himself as he turned into his Phantom alter ego, 'It's.... it sucks.... and even if that sucks... and even if that sucks.... I was able to protect her. Even if it was just the ectopusses ... I could protect her. And if... if I can protect people....maybe this isn't so bad. 'Danny said with a sigh his white hair seeming to glow more than usual in the moonlight. Eric hopped into the room and sat on Danny's knee which was still under the covers.

'Haven't I been telling you that for a year!?' Tucker yelled. Danny leveled a green eyed glare at him. Tucker held his hands up, 'Fine, fine, I get it.' Tucker said. Danny smiled at his lap then floated out of the bed displacing Eric who cawed discontentedly.

'Ok, I'll be back later.' Danny smiled flying through the wall Eric following him hopping up onto the windowsill and taking flight.

'Yeah.... I'll stay here I guess.' Tucker said waving a hand in the direction of the window.

(Hey, that line break last chapter scared you right?)

Sam sighed as she walked out onto the balcony leaning against the railing. A black crow flew down and landed lightly cocking its head to the side as it stared at her curiously.

'Hey, good night for flying?' Sam asked glancing at the crow then looking back out into the night.

'The best.' a voice replied. Sam jumped back peddling into the Goth table set on the balcony.

'Sorry.' Danny held his hands up green eyes sparking with life. Sam sighed holding her heart.

'You're taking years off my life ghost boy.' Sam teased then walked up to him with a smiled, 'I thought maybe this time we could stay in.' Sam said gesturing to the open door.

Danny smiled with a shrug.

'Sure.' Danny followed Sam in and saw the food on the table giving it a questioning look, 'Funnel cake and brownies?' Danny asked Sam shrugged.

'Sorry when I think Danny I think funnel cake I think brownies I think ice cream.... and reefer, but let's leave that last one out of it.'

Sam teased. Danny chuckled and sat down staring at the food. It looked amazing.

'I made it all myself, the ice cream is store bought though.' Sam smiled setting a plate in front of Danny who removed his gloves tucking it into his belt. Danny smiled politely as Sam sat down with her food. Danny picked up a fork and took a bite of the brownie smiling while Sam watched.
