Sam, Tucker, and Gregor went to Nasty Burger next, where Tucker made a mess every time he took a bite of his burger, and he talked with his mouth full. 

"That's when I realized my fly was down the entire time!" 

Sauces from the burger went flying as it got in Sam's eye, and she apologized to Gregor. "Tucker! I'm so sorry for this." 

"His fly was down entire time!" Gregor burped in Sam's face before laughing and slamming his hand on the table. "What is fly?" He then asked.

Afterward, they decided to go to Sam's place to watch a movie, where Tucker sat in between the two playing a video game that you couldn't turn the sound off.

"Oh, does this bother you?" Tucker asks, and Grego flicks his wrist.

"Pfft, not at all." 

Tucker's phone starts to ring, and he looks at the Caller ID to read the name Danny, and he excuses himself. "I have to take this." 

"So do I apparently," Sam grumbled, starting to regret letting Tucker come. 

"Yo dude, what's up?" Tucker answered after stepping away.

"Hey Tucker, anything to report?" Danny asks, pacing his room while (y/n) sat on his bed impatiently waiting. 

Danny was stressing over Gregor way too much, so (y/n) thought spending some time together would help clear his mind, but before they could leave, he decided to call Tucker.

 "Well, I bought this great graphic novel at the Skulk and Lurk. I was two in the par at the putt-putt course, oh! Sam has some kickin' new surround sound." 

"I mean anything about Gregor?!" 

"Well, if he's a spy, he'd be a really cool spy. If you know it wasn't for kissing your girl and leading Sam on," Tucker says when Gregor interrupts. 

"Tucker, my friend. Movie is over, you up for bowling?" 

"Gotta go!" Tuck says, ending the call.

Danny lets out an exasperated sigh. "Great, now I'm losing both my best friends." 

"How about we go on that date now to clear your head?" I ask when Danny stands up.

"I know! I have to confront Gregor myself!" 

I sigh as I watch him start to pace around his room again, thinking of what he was going to say, not taking notice as I went home.

The next day at school, Danny was changing out of his gym clothes, going over what he was going to say.  "Gregor, I know you're not what you seem to be and- ugh! Gregor! I know you're up to something and-  Guh! C'mon, find the words!" Danny shouts at himself as his eyes glance over a photo of him and (y/n) together from Valentine's Day. 

She had jumped on his back and hugged him. Shutting his locker, he was met with Gregor's face, making him stumble back.

"Danny? I wish to talk to you if you are done talking to yourself?" 

"Uh oh heh, sure Gregor, what's up?" Danny asks, sitting down on the bench. 

"I am not blind, you do not like me."

"Gregor, that's not—" Danny tried to say when Gregor cut him off. 

"No, no, let me finish. You don't like me because you want to protect your friend Sam, and I respect this." 

"It's not just that..." Danny trails off.

"(y/n) told you about our kiss?" 

"Well...Yeah," Danny glared at him.

"I wanted to apologize, I thought we had something, but I was wrong, and after thinking about it, I like Sam more, and I am sure, and I am going to ask her out. I hope you can, how do you Americans say, 'hang out?'" Gregor says, hugging Danny before doing the French greeting of kissing on the cheeks. "I am glad we had this talk."

Gregor leaves the locker room as Danny processes what just happened as he stands up shouting, "I know who you are and I know what you're up to and...Somehow I pictured this chat going differently..."

After school, Danny and I walked down the stairs to see Sam holding hands with Gregor, Tucker trailing next to them. Sam glared at Danny before looking away sadly. A glum face adorned Tucker's face as well. Danny waved at them after Gregor waved at us. 

Seeing the glum look Danny had, I grabbed his hand and walked him away. We spent the rest of the afternoon together, but when we finally came home to do homework, we were met with a big surprise. 

"Our children, hanging out with Danny Phantom and (s/n)?! Well, that is preposterous!" We hear Maddie shout before our fathers call our respective names. 

"Danny/ (y/n)! Get over here!" 

We come down the stairs and enter the kitchen as we let out a gasp to see the GIW. 

"We managed to trace this PDA to Tucker Foley; we figured the ghosts must be an associate of his," They explain as Danny and I start to sweat.

"Have you checked uh, Dash Baxtor?" 

"Or Paulina Sanchez?" 

"Affirmative, he's too much of an oaf to be the ghost boy, and she's too full of herself to be the ghost girl. As for you two..." The GIW starts circling us with a critical eye before shaking their heads. "You're too pre-pubescent and she too girly." 

"Hey!" Danny and I shouted as the GIW came to their own conclusions.

"It's not that Manson girl, she's too goth, which leaves that Gregor kid we saw her hanging around with." 

"Of course! How did we not see that?! He's got white hair, and so does the ghost boy! If we capture him, the ghost girl will come after him. C'mon!" 

They race out of the room with guns as Jack calls out, "Hey! If you ever need a guy in orange, Jack Fenton's your man!" 

"Wait, Gregor can't be a spy for them if they're going after him with guns blazing!" Danny realizes, eyes widening.

"Not to mention Sam and Tucker are right in the line of fire!" My eyes widen as well.

We both rush out the door.
