Well, I've got absolutely no excuse for the wait. I just really haven't been motivated to write lately and I've really just lost interest in the Danny Phantom series. I've also been trying to get my review show up and running so that's where most of my creativeness has been going towards. Never the less, I'm not going to abandon this story.

But enough of my blabbing, let's get onto the story.

Dan's P.O.V

"Absolutely not,"

Starfire stared at me with big pleading eyes with her hands clasped together. I glared back at her, hoping that she would just back off. She didn't though; instead she kept giving me that pleading look. I briefly flicked my gaze over to Raven, her hood was pulled over her face to hide her expression, but it was easy to tell that she didn't want to be here. What the hell were these people trying to pull?

"But friend Dan, do you not think that young Danielle would enjoy going to the mall of shopping for the cute cloths and painting of toe nails?" Starfire begged.

"If Danielle wants to go to the mall then she can tell me and I'll take her, so why don't the both of you stop wasting my time."

"Come on, Dan" Raven said in an even less enthusiastic voice than she normally used. "Don't you think that Danielle would want to have a little" she stopped to repress a shudder. "Girl time?"

"No," I snapped, raising my voice. "Now leave me-"

"Danny?" I checked over my shoulder and saw that Dani had woken up and was poking her head out through the doorway. "What's going on?"

Before I could say anything, Starfire suddenly interjected. "Friend Danielle, Raven and I were discussing with Dan about you joining us on our journey to the mall."

I knew what was coming the second I saw her face. "Really? Can I go, please, Danny, please?" she clasped her hands together and gave me her best puppy dog eyes.

No.

Out of the question.

Not a chance in hell.

I'd rather cut off my own foot.

"Sure you can."

God damn it.

She squealed, jumped up and hugged me. "Thank you Danny, I love you." she kissed my cheek and the three of them flew off down the hall.

I smiled softly; it was a nice to be reminded that I still had family that loved me. I contemplated sending a duplicate out to fallow them, but Dani would probably get angry at me and accuse me of not trusting her to take care of herself. Then again, I highly doubt that Starfire and Raven are taking Dani out, because they think she'd want some "girl time" or whatever the hell they called it.

Anyway, I figured I'd just head to the main room to try and find something to do. As I walked through halls, I heard what I thought was a mixture of someone playing the bagpipes and torturing a cat. I flew down the hall, trying to pinpoint where the sound was coming from. I tracked it to the main room and braced myself before opening the double doors. As soon as I did, my sensitive ears were instantly bombarded with the most awful noise I had ever heard. Beast boy was trying to sing. I had to slap my hands over my ears to block out his screeching.

"Shut him up, for the love of god someone please shut him up!" I screamed.

Suddenly the noise stopped and I sighed with relief. Then Cyborg's robotic hands grabbed both of my arms, yanking me forward without warning and plopped me on the couch. Before I could even open my mouth to protest, a bowl of popcorn was shoved into my lap with a can of soda. All of the others piled onto the couch beside me.

"What's going on?"

"We're having another movie night." Beast-boy replied.

"Didn't we already have one, like yesterday?" I glared at him. We're these people trying to screw with my head or something? Or were they just acting really friendly to win me over. I looked over to Robin, but it looked like he was focusing on the screen. Cyborg was already shoveling popcorn in his mouth and I doubt that he even noticed my look. Beast-boy was putting the movie in the tv then jumped onto the couch beside me.

"That was with the girls, now that it's just us guys here, we can watch a real movie."

I quietly groaned, why couldn't these people just leave me alone? "No thanks," I tossed the popcorn into Beast-boy's lap and floated over to the door.

"Aw, come on Dan."

"No," Beast-boy was starting to piss me off. He out of all of them should know that I'm not interested in being their friend. I almost reached the door, when Beast-boy made one final attempt to change my mind. "Come on, it's Cabin in the Woods," he yelled.

I stopped dead. That name made me think back to a few months ago. I was over at Sam's house, just the two of us. We were sitting in her basement, watching TV when a trailer for Cabin in the Woods came on. Sam was so excited to see it, she made me promise that I would watch it with her the second it came out on DVD. But I was chased out before that could happen, and she was taken away from me.

I didn't say anything, just floated back to the couch and sat down. Cyborg and Beast-boy cheered and got things ready for the movie. The movie was awesome, but I didn't enjoy it, I couldn't stop thinking about Sam the entire time. After the movie ended I continued to keep thinking about Sam.

What was she doing right now?

What happened to her after I left?

Am I ever going to see her again?

Those questions just kept swimming through my head, before I was jarred out of my thoughts by the Titan alarm. Robin jumped to the computer and yelled about some villain named Plasmis attacking downtown and they all raced off. I growled, fallowing right behind them. Whatever poor son of a bitch that interrupted my thoughts of Sam was going to get the beating of its life.

When we arrived on the scene, we saw that Starfire, Raven and Dani had already gotten into a fight with it and we're having trouble handling him. Him, being a gigantic monster composed of the purple and red muck that smelled worse than a thousand decomposing bodies. Dani was doing great, twisting, flying, and going intangible to avoid every hit. It really reminded me of my fighting style back before I could kill anything with the flick of my wrist. The street had already been cleared out of people, so at least there was no one to get in their way.

"Titans, regroup" Robin yelled. The girls heard him and grabbed Dani before they flew back to join us. Plasmas roared and charged, leaving big globs of muck where ever it stepped. Robin yelled something out and the others took off.

"Dani, are you alright?" I knelt down and checked her for injuries. "You weren't hurt at all were you?" She didn't seem to have any injuries I could see or feel, but one thing that was strange was how cold she felt.

"I'm alright Danny," she said. "But we've been fighting with that thing for almost ten minutes and none of our attacks are doing anything." I could hear Plasmus roaring in the background as it continued to fight with the others. A stray shot of muck flew towards us so I teleported Dani and I up onto a roof more out of harms way.

"Ok, any ideas on how we could beat this guy?" I asked, watching the Titans fight with the monster.

"No clue, Starfire riddled that thing with a dozen shots and I splattered it everywhere with an ecto-sphere, but it just pulled itself back together."

"So it can regenerate itself, huh?" I smirked, still watching the Titans trying to fight him. "That gives me an idea." I swirled my cape and teleported down to Robin. "Having fun?" I asked while he dodged a swipe from Plasmus.

I could hear Robin growl at me under his breath. "Are you going to help or not?" He yelled.

"Sure I will, as soon as I figure out how to actually stop him, just keep distracting him for me."

Robin practically had smoke coming out of his ears, but Plasmis swung at him again and he jumped back to avoid getting clobbered.

"Plasmus is invulnerable; the best way to stop him is to freeze him over." Robin yelled and threw several disks at him. Plasmis countered by throwing a blob of goop that met the disks in midair then froze into solid chunk of ice.

Freeze him over, huh?

"Right idea," I tapped into my core, bringing my ice energy to the surface. My eyes glowed a light blue along with my hands. Plasmus turned itss head and saw me, roared and charged again, outstretching his claws to grab me. "Wrong caliber"

I let thrust my hand out and shot a wave of ice energy that enveloped him completely. The light blinded me for a second, but when it died away I saw that my attack had ended the battle. Plasmis had been completely frozen along with the streets and buildings that were covered in a foot thick sheet of ice for about a hundred yards.

I turned around and saw that Robin was gawking at the sight before him. The other Titans slowly approached, staring with disbelieving faces. Beast-boy was the first to shake himself out of it.

"Dude… That was freaking awesome." He yelled, clapping me on the back. Danielle came up and hugged me around the waist.

"Um, yeah, good work Dan." Robin said. I was completely surprised by the, for once, lack of sarcasm or bite in his voice.

"Here come our fans." Raven said.

I looked down the street and sure enough a crowd of people had started to come out from their hiding places and were cheering at my victory. Of course, none of them were actually cheering for me, in fact no one even so much as looked at me or Dani, they just swarmed around the titans. Not that I minded of course, the less attention me and Danielle get the better.

"Danny,"

I looked down. "Yeah?"

"I didn't say anything." Danielle said. For a second I thought she was messing with me, but then I heard someone call my name again. It was coming from the crowd, but I couldn't see anyone paying any attention to us.

"Danny!"

My breath caught in my voice and my heart felt like it had stopped. That voice. It was louder, but still hard to pick it out over the noise of the crowd and I almost thought that it couldn't be her. I scanned through the crowd again. Contrary to what I felt before, my normally slow beating heart was now pounding inside my chest, threatening to burst from the intensity of its beating. Dani kept tugging at my arm and asking me what was wrong. I ignored her and kept searching for through the people. I lost hope with each second that passed. Was I going crazy, was all of this hate and aggression finally starting to drive me insane?

I started to believe that maybe I was just going crazy, but then I saw it. Just a small black pony tail tied up in a green hair band; but it was all I needed to know it was her. I ran and started pushing my way through the crowd, shoving and yelling at anyone who got in my way. Everyone quickly started to get out of my way and even parted to give me a clear path. A second later, she broke through the line of people and stumbled into the open.

I stared for a second, then two, then five, almost unable to accept the fact that it was really her in front of me. I was afraid that at any second she would just melt away like some crazy hallucination, but she didn't. My body went numb, so numb that I didn't even notice the black ring that suddenly formed around my waist and washed over me, transforming me back into my human form.

"Danny"

"... Sam"

I ran forward and threw my arms around her. She returned my embrace and buried her head into the crook of my neck. "D-Danny" I looked down and saw tears running down her flushed face. Her lips were parted slightly as she softly panted and stared at me with those big amethyst eyes that captivated me. It just sort of happened. The second I saw her face so close to mine it was like I was put into some kind of trance, everything else just sort of faded into the background as we both leaned in and kissed.

Everything stopped. I couldn't feel anything other than Sam's lips pressed up against mine. It was nothing like how I had imagined it would be, but at the same time it was everything I had ever dreamed it would feel like. Slowly, we broke apart, both of us panting from the lack of air. I tried to think of something to say, but I couldn't think of a single thing, I could only keep staring into her eyes and smile. I knew everyone was probably staring at us, but I didn't care. I had my Sam back, for the first time since I was forced to leave Amity Park I felt like everything was complete.

I felt like I was human again.

"Uh, Dan" I immediately turned and gave Beast-Boy a death glare for interrupting the perfect moment we were sharing. His face broke out into a noticeable sweat and he laughed nervously. "Uh, w-well we were j-just wondering who your friend was."

"Yes friend Dan," Starfire came a little too close for comfort. "Is she the lover friend Beast-boy said you left behind."

My face went completely red with embarrassment. I glanced over at Sam and saw that her face was as red as mine with her hand over her mouth. I looked back and saw that Beast-boy was nowhere in sight. Out of the corner of my eye though, I caught a small little green mouse scurrying through the crowed. Oh hell no, he's not getting away.

"Get back here grass stain!"

The mouse squeaked in fear, before it dashed off with me in pursuit.

Well, I'll just be over there in the corner, contemplating ways to kill all of the Sam haters when they inevitably send me reviews saying how much better this story would have been without her. For right now, I'll have to settle for a mocking joke.

Hey all you Sam haters who reviewed, you see this in my hand? This is a fuck, I would give it to you, but it's my last one so I'm going to keep it for myself.
