I am very sorry about how long this took. Again, it's short. But be happy it's out. (I'm trying…)
A/N: To all, thanks for reviewing!
Queen S of Randomness 016: I updated! Wheee! ((Jumps with QSR016))
Riverfox237: I'll try. I guess this won't make much sense if you haven't seen TNBC. I've just got to figure it out first before I send it.
Jiece18: Never played it. So I'm not sure what weapon you're talking about.
Atemu's Lover: YAY! Sugar! Yay for hyper people! Wheeee. Was it candy canes? ((Tries to chew candy canes.))
Mdizzle: Just realized that. Read to find out what happens!
Sam-n-Danny1: Jack just wants to celebrate Christmas. Wonder what'll happen… (Making it up as I go along.)
KatrinaKaiba: Thanks! I wonder if there are other TNBC/DP crossovers.
Disclaimer: I don't own DP, TNBC, or Spongebob Squarepants.
Chapter 4
Back in her room, Sam walked to her bed and threw herself on. She growled, angry with herself. It wouldn't have been that difficult! All she had to do was kiss him, just on the cheek. It wouldn't have been much different if it were tucker.
Yes it would be.
Needing to breathe, because she had buried her face so forcefully into the deep purple blanket, she turned onto her back.
"Why do I have to be so stupid?" she demanded of the ceiling. The ceiling said nothing. "What would be so bad if I asked him out?"
"A lot of things." She answered herself, turning on her right. "He could be freaked out, saying stuff like 'we're just friends', or I could make him so uncomfortable that he starts to avoid me for a while."
"What if he says yes?" she continued, turning to the left.
"What if he does?" she turned back to her right, "There will still be problems. He's a superhero. He fights ghosts. They could come for me trying to get to him."
"I'll take that risk."
She paused, staring back at the ceiling. "He wouldn't."

It didn't take long for Angie to finish the job she had been given. She lifted the monstrosity of fabric to look it all over. It looked like a lifeless, very sinister, green, and flat Patrick Star from Spongebob Squarepants. She grimaced. This is what happens when I work for insects. She sighed.
She turned to her customers. "This? This is what you ask me to make? I am an artist! I could create anything. But this…this…what is it?"
The leader beetle looked up. "Our skin. Like I've told you, we cannot pay right now. I assure you, we will return with what we owe you."
At an unseen signal, all the bugs flew into the eyeholes and the mouth. In seconds the body had inflated.
The seamstress gave a soft gasp as the rag in her hand came to life; she quickly let go.
"Thank you, madam." The voice speaking was interiorly different from the large beetle, singsong almost, in an eerie way. "I feel so," he rubbed his fingerless hands together, "unalive!" And, with that, he sprang out the door.

Sam lay there for a while. She didn't even realize she had drifted off to sleep…
She was in the ghost zone. A green and black sky swirled above her, dotted here and there with purple doors. All colored shapes flew lazily above, to the side, and below. Sam looked down. She was sitting on a floating island, covered in purple dirt. She tried to stand, but something held her arms down. Her wrists were shackled. Chains connected them with the ground, their length so short she could not get up, but was forced to struggle from there.
"You're just hurting yourself." A deep voice said. A large, muscular ghost had appeared a little off to her right. He green skinned, and wore a black, white, and blue costume. Oddest of all, he had no face.
Danny appeared to her left.
"You've finally come to save your girlfriend." Faceless sneered. Sam fought the chains now, desperate to get free and aid Danny.
Danny turned to her. "You're going to hurt yourself, Sam. Relax until I finish this clod.
"You think it'll be that easy?" said Faceless.
Somehow the absent of features seemed to intensify his expression. If he could, he would be grinning evilly, or madly, showing off pointed teeth.
The fight started. Sam, not sure of what would happen and completely fearful of what she would see, hid her face by tucking her head into her stomach. She could hear missed shots, coming from her left and zooming to her right, fly past Faceless uselessly; she heard what sounded like a sword being removed from it's sheath.
Sam stopped listening. She tried. But she couldn't.
"Ahh!" she heard Danny scream in pain. Then a loud thump, like a whole body had dropped to the floor.
"Danny!" Sam rose to her feet, the chains disappearing, and ran for the fallen hero. She fell to her knees at his side. He was bleeding green in different places. She lifted his head.
"Say something."
A loud footstep made Sam and Danny look up. Faceless was in front of them. He raised his right arm.
Sam gasped. His arms were covered in blades, some, to her horror, were dripping green. The limb started to melt, the blades coming together, becoming very sharp and lethal looking. Finally, a huge knife glistened where an arm had been.
"Good Bye."
He slashed his arm down…
"NO!"
Sam jumped from her bed, panting, and covered in a cold sweat.

Danny opened the door, ignoring Jack. He was about to jump out, but where would he go. Which way was his home? Had he come from the left, the right, above, below? He was so focused on getting the present. He looked back into where ever he was and looked at what he was now sure was a ghost dog. He could help him find his home.
But he needed Jack's permission to do so.
He turned. "What do you want to know?"

God, that sucked.
