Sam Manson drove into the urban town of Amity Park and sighed to herself. Never, in a million years, did she think she would come back to her miserable hometown. But, her parents had both just passed and that left her with the house and the fortune that they had accumulated doing who knows what since they never actually told Sam what they did. So now, she was forced to return to Amity Park to sort through their belongings, sell the house, and get the hell out of Amity Park before anyone from her past saw her.

When Sam pulled up to the old house that she spent 18 years of her life in, she couldn't help but remember everything that had happened before she left. The graduation, the big fight with Danny and Tucker that left them as strangers when she went to college, the fight with her parents that kept her away for the past 10 years, and the sad look that she and Danny shared as she drove out of Amity Park for what she had wished would be the last time. From the social media page of Jazz Fenton, now Jazz Baxter, Danny and Tucker still live in Amity Park but that was really all Sam needed to know to know to get done with this house as soon as possible so she could get away from the ghost-filled town.

Sam popped the trunk on her car and got out the boxes that she would fill with any of the belongings she wanted to keep, and she would leave everything else for the realtor after she was gone. But when she walked in, she remembered all the fun times she had with her friends here. Watching movies, cuddling in her room with Danny when he snuck in, researching ghosts that they hadn't met before, and laughing and having fun. She even remembered when she told them that she was going to Harvard for Environmental Law. At the time, they had been really excited for her, and then she and Danny had got in the horrible fight about their relationship, and Tucker sided with Danny as always, so she broke off her and Danny's relationship, and her and Tucker's friendship and left. She hated the way they left things, even 10 years later she still had an ache in her gut when she thought of it. But there was nothing she could do about it, most likely the two would never forgive her and they had probably already moved on and either forgotten about her or have been hating her all these years.

Sam started piling pictures and trinkets into the boxes and tried to expel thoughts about her old friends, even as she packed up pictures of all of them together on their first days of school throughout the years. Ever since they became friends in first grade they would take pictures on the first day of school at one of their houses no matter how much their parents might not like each other at some point or another. She smiled to herself as she watched their progression from their little years to their last year of high school, and she couldn't help but let a few tears out because of how much closer she could tell her and Danny got compared to when they were young. In their first picture together all three of them weren't even touching each other and instead stood kind of awkwardly on the steps of their school, but on the first day of senior year Danny's arm was around her waist while her head rested on his shoulder and Tucker was doing something funny and weird on Danny's other side. She had left these pictures here to try and forget them, but it was almost worse seeing them all once now than looking at them every day because all of the memories hit her like bricks. Even the pictures of her and her parents hurt because even with all of the animosity in her relationship with them, somewhere deep down she loved them and missed them now that they were taken so abruptly.

Two months ago, she was surprised when she got the call from the doctor in the next town over from Amity Park about her parents getting hit by a car on the way back from going to a restaurant. They had been brought to the hospital, and put into comas, but after a month Sam pulled the plug and they officially died. Now, she was left to deal with their stuff, and was walking down a very painful memory lane. But right as she finished with the living room her phone went off and she stood up to check it. Hey Sam, I saw your Snapchat map and it said you're in town. I'd like to meet. Sam really never thought she'd hear from Jazz again, especially after what happened with her brother, but against her better judgement she responded to Jazz.

Hey Jazz, I'd love to meet up with you. Just plz, don't tell your brother.

Jazz's reply was almost instant. I wouldn't do that to you, my lips are sealed. I'll meet you at Nasty Burger in 10 minutes.

Sam surveys her progress before shrugging on her black trenchcoat and making her way to her car so she could drive to Nasty Burger. The problem with Amity Park, was that they didn't have a lot of restaurants even though they had a lot of people. So Nasty Burger was pretty much the only place that both teenagers and adults hung out, so it was always busy. The streets, unfortunately, were just the same. Sam was terrified that every car she saw contained someone from her past, but luckily, most of them were either teenagers that didn't know her, or older adults that hadn't cared to know her because she was a punk goth when she lived there. Now, she still wore black, but it was with accents of other colors. She even wore white once and a while just because she was more comfortable with her style than she was when she was a teenager. But today, since it was more of a somber day, she wore a simple black dress, a black trench coat, and ankle high black boots that weren't actually her combat boots. Her thick black hair fell in natural waves to about the middle of her back, and her make up was mainly just thin winged eyeliner, and mascara. Sam didn't think she was overly beautiful, like Paulina had been in college, but she definitely could turn at least a few heads of decent looking men.

When Sam arrives at Nasty Burger, it was easy to pick Jazz out because she was sitting at their old booth, and her bright orange hair stuck out from the blonde, brunette, and black. As Sam approaches Jazz smiles brightly and greets her with a hug, that was sort of awkward because of Jazz's protruding belly. When they parted Sam looks from Jazz's face to her stomach and back again and raises an eyebrow. Jazz laughs, "yes, I'm pregnant Sam. Third kid now, hopefully a girl since I've had two boys already."

The two women sit down and Jazz signals for their waitress to come back over, and Sam was shocked to say the least when she showed up. "Paulina!?"

The woman gives her an odd look before her eyes widen. "Sam?!"

Jazz laughs as the two women gape at each other. "Yeah Sam, Paulina is a waitress here since she didn't catch the 'big break' she was hoping for."

Paulina narrows her eyes and turns to Jazz. "What's that supposed to mean? Producers usually don't come to this town so I have to make money some way. Most actresses started as a waitress anyway."

Sam still could barely get over seeing Paulina, working! But of course, before Sam could get over it, Paulina decides to turn to her again. "So, are you here to get back with Danny?"

Sam's eyes widen, "what!? No! Of course not!"

Paulina shrugs, "that's fine. Most girls in this town go crazy for him anyway. Seeing as he's the Ghost Boy."

Sam almost forgot that he had outed himself to the world back at the end of sophomore year since everything had been pretty normal after he did. But hearing that girls loved him, made Sam's insides churn. "Look Paulina, I'm sure you're interested in Sam, but can you just get us two black coffees? Oh, and you can't tell Danny or Tucker that Sam was here." Jazz informs her.

Paulina shrugs again, "fine, I don't care either way. Those two will find out eventually."

Paulina leaves and Sam takes a large breath in and out. "Are you okay?" Jazz asks her.

Sam nods as she swallows, "yeah, it's just a shock I guess. I didn't know Danny had so many fans."

Jazz looks away from Sam. "I probably shouldn't be telling you this, but even though he has all these fans, he still hasn't really gotten over you."

Sam's eyes widen to the size of saucers before she leans back in her seat. "Is that just some ploy that you and Danny have been practicing since I left? Because I didn't come back to get back together with him. I came back to deal with my parents' house and I should be leaving either today or tomorrow, depending when the realtor gets back."

Jazz shakes her head, "no Sam. That's another thing I wouldn't do to you, I wouldn't try to match you guys up because I know your last relationship ended in disaster. You two just need to move on, I get that. So, I solemnly swear I won't medle." Jazz gives her a small smile, "you know, I miss having you around. You would keep me sane with Danny and Tucker, now nobody's there to keep them in check."

Sam cocks her head, "what do you mean?"

Jazz shrugs, "well, they always seem to be a little more…reckless? They wrap up ghosts easily, but it always seems to end messy. They have some new gadgets and whatever, and Danny has some new powers, but they seem to not care as much with themselves. You would remind them as they fought to be careful, but it's like, without you they're kind of a mess."

Sam looks away from Jazz. "Yeah, I remember the few ghosts they had to deal with those few times I was sick or something, and it never really ended that well. I was there of course to patch up any bruises, but I'd yell at them for a solid ten to twenty minutes in case they decided to do it again and how I wouldn't be friends with them if they got themselves seriously hurt…I guess it didn't take that long."

Jazz nods sadly before shaking her head. "I came to talk with you and to catch up with you Sam. I don't want to dwell on Danny and Tucker anymore. So how's life outside of Amity Park?"

Just as Sam opens her mouth a horrible roar came from outside just before the wall bursts open and a huge ghostly animal that's in the shape of a five headed snake slithers into the diner, hissing and snapping at people. "I forgot about ghosts." Sam says dejectedly as one of the heads turns to the table that Sam and Jazz were sitting in.

"The one day I go without the thermos." Jazz says angrily and slightly panicked as the snake quickly approaches them.

But right as the head is about to descend and kill them, a voice yells at it. A voice that Sam never thought she would again. "Hey! Long, fat, and slimy! I think you're at the wrong address! Did you try the pet store?"

The snake rears up and turns to look at whatever yelled at it, but as soon as it turned around the ghostly superhero slams into its main head and him, and the snake go toppling into the diner. When the dust clears from the snake falling Sam can't help but gasp when Danny stands up. Long gone was the slightly lanky 18 year old that Sam had fought with. Now, he was a very tall, very muscled, and very handsome. He probably stood at 6'3, with broad shoulders, thick biceps, a ripped abdomen, and muscled legs that seemed to go on for days. His white hair was in the same style, but his forelock was longer and thicker. His jumpsuit had changed as well, instead of it being mostly black with just a little white, he now had white shin high boots, and a green stripe wrapping around his leg with vertical stripes underneath it to his boots. His pants were mostly black, he had a white belt that was shaped a little like a triangle in the front and a green oval in the middle of it. He now had white stripes that started on either side of his abdomen and widen out to cover his pectorals and shoulders with a black stripe going up the middle. In the center of his chest was a green D and around his collarbone were alternating black and white stripes. He wore wrist gauntlets and white gloves that went up to about the middle of his upper arm, and he seemed to be a lot more confident than when he was younger. In other words, Danny was hot and Sam couldn't help but gape. But her staring was interrupted when the snake smacks Danny across the room. Jazz is up immediately and sprinting across the diner while Sam just sits there gobsmacked at what is going on.

Danny gets up and shakes his head to get rid of the daze. Once Jazz arrives at his side he nods at her. "Get the people out of here. Tucker should be here soon to get you a thermos."

She nods once before getting up to start yelling at all of the shocked and scared people to get out of the diner. When everyone else was cleared out she grabs Sam's hand and they start to run out, but not before Danny catches a glimpse of her. "Sam?" But before he could run after her, the snake smacks him against the opposite wall.

When they're outside Sam looks around frantically. "Jazz, I gotta get outta here before Tucker shows up."

Jazz nods quickly as well. "Okay go."

Sam runs to her car and jumps in just as Tucker shows up on some sort of hovering skateboard. He didn't see her luckily, and Sam takes off as Tucker tosses Jazz a thermos and they join the fight. Danny punches the main head so the snake is knocked backward onto the pavement, but one of the heads wraps around the ghost boy and starts to squeeze, hard. But Danny goes intangible and flies right out of the snake's grip. "Okay scaly, it's your fault I'm in a bad mood so how about you hibernate for a while!" Danny fires off a ghost ray and the snake falls again so Jazz sucks it up into her thermos.

"Nice job Danny!" She praises as she reattaches the lid.

"Yeah great job dude! You didn't even need me this time!" Tucker says with a laugh.

Danny transforms back into his human form, so he was wearing a pair of light blue skinny jeans, a red t-shirt, and a completely dark blue button up shirt that was hanging open and his hair went from white to black, and his eyes from green to blue. He took a breath before he opens his eyes and both Jazz and Tucker saw the anger in them. "Why didn't you tell me?"

Jazz raises an eyebrow. "Tell you what?"

Danny stalks up to her, and that was mainly when Jazz realized that Danny really had grown up. Grown to the fact that he was towering over her. "Why did you tell me she was back?"

Tucker looks between the two. "Who? Who's back?"

"Danny, I don't know what you're talk-."

"You know damn well who I'm talking about!" Danny interrupts, furious. "Why did you tell me Sam was back!?"

Tucker's mouth falls open, "Sam's back!?"

Jazz steps away from her brother and crosses her arms over her chest. "It wasn't for me to tell you. She didn't want me to."

Danny's fury caves into sorrow and he looks to the ground. "She didn't?"

Jazz uncrosses her arms and sighs. "Look, little brother. You two left things in a really bad spot. Can you blame her? She wanted to get married and you weren't sure. You pretty much said you didn't want to. And Tucker didn't help at all, none of us did! We sat back and watched, or took sides! She felt alienated from you two, her parents practically kicked her out, and the one that she loved more than anyone in this world, rejected her."

"I didn't reject her!" Danny cries, "I just didn't want to get married! So what?!"

Jazz shakes her head. "So what? Danny, you two had been dating for four, going on five years. Sam felt like, 'I don't want to marry you Sam' was a rejection. You two shouted for hours, and then you kicked her out when you had had enough. Can you see how she doesn't want to see you?"

"If I were her I wouldn't want to see you." Tucker murmurs and Danny gives him a look.

"You're not helping Tuck!" Danny shouts.

"Danny, calm down." Jazz tells him as she puts a hand on his shoulder. "You won't help anyone if your head isn't on straight."

Danny shrugs her hand off and transforms into his ghost form. "You can't tell me what to do anymore Jazz." And with that, he flies off.
