She was gone. Danny sat on his bed that one thought running through his mind.

Sam was gone, and he never got to tell her how he felt about her. He curled up hugging his knees tightly to his chest, tears streamed down his face.

Sam had died in a car accident on her way back from a family vacation.

Danny cried in his room for about a week, only coming out during the day for things like food and water. He did come out invisibly at night, when everyone else was asleep, for things like a shower or to use the bathroom.

Things weren't the same without Sam and Tucker fighting about veggies vs. meat when he would go out to eat with Tucker.

It had hit Tucker hard as well, but not as hard as it had hit Danny.

~One Month Later~

Danny and Tucker were at Danny's locker putting away his books when they over heard two students talking about the up coming Talent Show.

Danny shut his locker and they began walking back to Danny's house to work on the project that Mr.Lancer had given them.

"Maybe I should enter the Talent Show." Danny said to Tucker as they walked home.

"Why? I mean I'd love to see what you would do, but why?"

"Just to get some things off my chest I guess." Danny said unlocking the door to his house.

"Sure dude, go for it." Tucker said as they reached Danny's room. "What did you have in mind?"

"Some thing that has to do with Sam, and my other half."

Tucker's eyes widened as he realized what Danny ment, "You mean reveal yourself?!"

"Yeah. I think it's about time everyone knew. No more lies right?" Danny said as he sat on his bed, Tucker was at the desk, and began to take out the things they needed for their project.

"Yeah I guess so." Tucker said, "Well we should probably start our project now so we can get it over with."

"Yeah." Danny said, but then his ghost sense went off. "Oh come on! I'll be right back Tuck." Danny said transforming and flying off to catch whatever ghost set his ghost sense off.

Tucker sighed and began working on his portion of the project. He was done by the time Danny came back, about 20 minutes later, with Skulker in the thermos and did his share of the project.

~The next day~

Danny came up to Tucker in the lunch line, they got their lunch, and then sat down at their usual lunch table.

"I did it." Danny said suddenly.

"Did what?" Tucker asked confused.

"I signed up for the Talent Show."

"Really?" Tucker asked, Danny nodded. "What are you going to do?"

Danny smirked, "You'll have to wait and see." he said and then proceeded to eat his lunch.

~Time skip to the Talent Show~

Danny stood in the wing, he was next. He gripped his guitar tightly.

'Calm down Fenton.' he told himself 'you'll be fine.' He took a deep breath in and then let it out slowly.

The previous performer walked off stage and the announcers walked on.

"Thank you Sera for showing us that wonderful gymnastics routine." the announcer on the left, Clara, said.

"Now let's welcome our next and final performer, Danny Fenton!" The announcer to the right, Natalie, said as they gestured to the wing Danny was waiting in and walked off as he walked on.

Danny POV

I walked on stage holding my white guitar with blue swirls around it, and took my place at the mic. I took another deep breath in and let it out slowly, then I began to sing.

Your life was a shooting star
That burned out way too fast
And all the memories
Of a dream that's built to last
Don't wanna wait, wanna wait, wanna wait
For my next panic attack, no
Don't wanna wait, wanna wait, wanna wait
For my next crash

I sang out thinking about Sam and about how she left this world too early, and about how many times I had been in a panic over someone finding out about my secret.

It's a beautiful pain
It's a beautiful pain
When I remember the good times
When I remember the good
It's a beautiful pain
It's a beautiful pain
When I let go of the heartache
When I let go of your heart

All the times that I keep holding onto
Even though you're gone
And the nights I keep holding back the tears
I hope you found what you're looking for

Memories of Sam laughing about something, or fighting with Tucker, and our fake-out-make-outs passed through my mind . Then memories of me alone in my room crying over her death. Even memories of trying not to cry as she patched me up in her room after a late night fight.

I pray that you're happy now
You're never looking back
Rest with angels now
The heavens gains your laugh

Don't wanna wait, wanna wait, wanna wait
Cause you're never coming back, no
Don't wanna wait, wanna wait, wanna wait
For the last dance

With these memories in my head I transformed. My usual t-shirt and jeans replaced by Phantom's jumpsuit, my guitar changed from white with blue swirls to black with green swirls, and my black hair turned stark white as my crystal blue eyes became a radioactive green.

It's a beautiful pain
It's a beautiful pain
When I remember the good times
When I remember the good
It's a beautiful pain
It's a beautiful pain
When I let go of the heartache
When I let go of your heart

All the times I keep holding onto
Even though you're gone
And the nights that I keep holding back the tears
I hope you found what you're looking for

I thought about all the lies that I had told. About how many people probably knew I was hiding something. Well now they know what it was.

Don't say goodbye tonight
Don't say goodbye tonight
Don't say goodbye tonight
And leave forever

Don't say goodbye tonight
Don't say goodbye tonight
Don't say goodbye tonight
And leave forever

I closed my eyes. She's gone. She's never coming back. She said goodbye for her trip and left forever. I felt myself rise into the air as I continued to sing.

It's a beautiful pain
It's a beautiful pain
When I remember the good times
When I remember the good
It's a beautiful pain
It's a beautiful pain
When I let go of the heartache
When I let go of your heart

All the times that I keep holding onto
Even though you're gone
And the nights that I keep holding back the tears
I hope you found what you're looking for

I hope you found what you're looking for

I floated back down as I played the last few measures. And as the song ended my feet touched the floor, but I kept my eyes closed.

At first I heard nothing, but then someone started to clap and then another and soon I heard thunderous applause and roaring cheers. I opened my eyes to see the entire audience on their feet clapping and cheering.

I smiled as I transformed back to Danny Fenton returning my clothes, hair, eyes, and guitar back to normal. I walked off stage smiling as I went.

The applause died down and the announcers, Clara and Natalie, stood in the center of the stage.

"Well that shocking performance by Danny Fenton, or should I say Danny Phantom, brings our Talent Show to a close, and trust me when I say that this is a show that we won't forget!" Natalie said as I stood in the wings wondering what Sam would do if she were here.

I smiled a sad smile, she would probably punch my arm in a playful way and say 'I told you so'.  I laughed to my self and looked up to the ceiling.

'You were right Sam. Then again you always were.'

Me: well that was a long one-shot... Oh well

Sam: wait why was I dead?

Me: well I was listening to my playlist on Spotify and the song Beautiful Pain by Andy Black came on and I was wanting to write a Sam x Danny fan fic so this was how I did it. And it keeps saying things like 'Even though you're gone' and ' cause you're never coming back' so yeah.

Sam: Fine. But I better not die in your other stories.

Me: I'll try not to let you die in my other stories

Sam: Good enough.

Me: I do not own Danny Phantom or the song Beautiful Pain. Tell me what you think. Until next time bye!
