Phantom Busters (A Ghostbusters and Danny Phantom Crossover)

Chapter 5: Assuming and Analyzing

Danny found Phoebe looking at samples of slime as she looked incredibly sad. Danny realized that everyone was right and he remembered when he first started crushing on Sam. Danny walked over to Phoebe and sat down next to her.

"Hey Phoebe. Are you ok?" Danny asked and Phoebe avoided eye contact as she continued to look at the samples.

"Yeah. Why wouldn't I be ok, and furthermore, how would you even know if something was wrong? We just met and know nothing about each other so there should logically be no feelings towards one another." Phoebe responded and Danny nodded in understanding.

"Yeah. But sometimes our hearts don't follow logic and there's nothing wrong with that, especially when your learning how to handle new things your hearts never felt before...like....i don't know, a first crush." Danny said this and Phoebe looked to him sadly.

"How did you know?" Phoebe asked unsurely and Danny smirked.

"I didn't. Your brother caught onto it and he told me that I should come and talk to you and he was right." Danny spoke the honest truth and Phoebe looked slightly surprised.

"I didn't realize he knew me so well." Phoebe sighed.

"Look, I'm sorry that I'm already taken." Danny addressed the situation at hand as Sam walked into the room and started listening from the doorway as she had been slightly crying. Phoebe and Danny were busy talking and didn't notice her. "The truth is that, I was in your situation once too. My first crush's name was Paulina. She was a few years older than me." Danny explained and Phoebe looked surprised.

"I thought her name was Sam." Phoebe pointed out.

"She wasn't my first crush." Danny replied.

"Well, shouldn't your first crush be the one your supposed to be with forever?" Phoebe asked.

"I'm sure there are people out there where that's the case but for me, it never would have happened with Paulina the way I imagined it." Danny said this and Sam looked crushed.

"What do you mean?" Phoebe asked in confusion.

"Well, the only reason I crushed on Paulina is because she was one of the prettiest girls in the school according to everybody. I'm sure I was 1 out of 100 who had a crush on her, and while attraction is a part of a relationship, it's only the tip of the iceberg. My REAL genuine first crush in my opinion was Sam. But for technical purposes, I didn't want to get you confused. I crushed on Paulina first, but the first time I ever fell for someone when it was more than their looks was with Sam. I only started dating Valerie before Sam because I thought Sam wasn't into me even though I'm pretty sure she was. Valerie and Paulina were awesome and I'm sure there's the perfect guy for them somewhere, but the only girl I've ever met that's had it all was Sam. She's beautiful, smart, courageous, and she doesn't get googly eyed simply because I save people's lives for a living. She's always been there for me even when everybody hated me for a while. Every time I truly needed her, she was always there. I genuinely couldn't have done any of this without her." Danny explained and Phoebe still looked unsure, but Sam was on the verge of crying for a whole different reason now. She had never heard him talk so highly of her before. He always defended her, but never like this.

"I get why she likes you so much, your smart and your really handsome." Phoebe sighed and Danny smirked.

"There's a good chunk of people that would disagree with you about that but to be honest, sometimes our best friends tend to be the ones we love the most. I don't know if you've noticed but your friend in there looks like he has a bit of a thing for you too." Danny pointed out and Phoebe looked like he was being ridiculous.
