Chapter 7: New subject

Danny heard an explosion, and he knew what time it was. He had to get up. Groaning and rubbing his eyes, Phantom opened them, before suddenly jumping widely awake with a loud yelp. His covers flew aside. Sam blinked in confusion.

"What?" She asked, still sitting on her knees and tilting her head.

"Sam, what the heck are you doing here?!" Danny asked.

"I don't have anything to do, I don't need sleep, so I just waited until you are awake. And good morning."

"Sam. People don't usually sneak up on someone like this! How long have you been here?"

"For an hour."

"You start to scare me," Phantom mumbled. "I haven't imagined the relationship to be like that," he said with a note of amusement.

Sam chuckled, before she got up, pecking Danny on the forehead with her lips. Phantom smiled stupidly, before running a hand through his raven hair.

"Is this what you thought?" The girl asked with a smirk, sitting on the bed next to him.

"Hm, no, I expected it to be longer."

Suddenly they heard rapid and heavy footsteps. Their eyes widened, but the teens weren't able to do anything. The door banged open and two jumpsuit dressed humans barged into the room, guns blazing.

"We heard screaming, Danny, what's...going...on," Maddie slowed down, lowering her glowing weapon.

It was the sight any mother feared. There she saw her teenage son, wearing only pajamas, near a girl of his age. Furthermore, they were on a bed, in a close proximity to each other. Sam shifted nervously, and the adults mistook that fear of advanced anti-ghost weapons for something else.

"Daniel James Fenton, you better explain yourself," Maddie narrowed her eyes while Jack rubbed his hair in confusion.

Danny resisted the urge to glare at his mother. Why was he supposed to tell everything to someone who didn't care at all about his problems? Before Danny could do something he would regret, Sam spoke first.

"Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Fenton. I'm Sam," the girl spoke, waving slightly.

"Uhm...what are you doing here, Sam?"

"Well," Danny put in, rubbing the back of his neck. "We are friends. Sam is just a mockingbird, so she came here. I was surprised and...screamed, alright."

Sam snickered at his expression, and the adults seemed to relax more.

"Aw, I so wanted to catch some ghosts!" Jack said sadly.

"There are no ghosts in this room, so please, go," Phantom responded.

"Don't you two try anything funny," Maddie told them, before suddenly something beeped in her pocket.

She took out the sensor of ghostly activity. Sam somehow realized what it was, and she couldn't understand why Danny was so calm. The woman approached him, still holding the scanner as her husband followed.

'The ghost is in front of you,' the scanner continuously repeated. 'Too powerful. Save your lives.'

"Damn, I thought we repaired this thing," Maddie cursed.

"It's been several years!" Jack moaned as they went out of the room. "I need some fudge."

Sam blinked. "What just happened?" She asked as they heard the footsteps getting more quiet and distant.

"It's simple really. They had previously agreed that me behaving strangely was just a pubescent stage, NOT a possession. And since my parents are so narrow minded to accept other theory, they'd rather remake that piece of junk which has actually worked well all along."
