*Danny Phantom and all things related to it do not belong to me.

A Phantom and his Princess

"So Danny, you and your friends want to hunt ghosts." Jack Fenton said with a proud look on his face.

"Actually dad, I want to be an astronaut." His son, Danny, replied with a sheepish grin.

"Sorry Mr. Fenton, I was into ghosts, but their so main stream now, their like cell phones." Sam replied. Besides, it's not right to like those you hunt.

That's right, Sam has ghost powers too. But see, her accident happened back when she was in boarding school when she accidentally discovered Headmaster Vlad's ghost portal. The hard part is hiding them from Danny and Tucker. Not because she was ashamed or couldn't trust them, it's just she's already different as is. Except, senior year is going to be different this time around. Sam had grown into her body, no longer scrawny, she was almost a D cup with a tiny waist. Her shirts have gotten tighter and her skirts shorter. But she wasn't about to swap make up tips with Paulina. She traded her combat boots with some sexy knee length boots with a stiletto tip. She traded in her purple lipstick and changed it up with clear gloss with a grape taste. Her hair she let grow out and fall with her bangs over her one eye. I swear if one more person calls me emo this year, they are going to get it. Why had she become more feminine? After all theses years, she was still madly in love with her best friend, Danny Fenton.

She listened to Jack drone on for a bit more until she had to interrupt.

"Sorry to cut you short Mr. Fenton, but we have to get going for school."

"Right on Sammy!"

Sam cringed at the name but smiled none the less. Her, Danny, and Tucker piled into her black mustang with Tucker sitting in the middle of the back seat and Danny sitting shot gun.

When she stepped out of her car she noted dully that this was the last year she'll get to do this. Over the summer Tucker had hacked into the school system and synced up their schedules so they'd spend their last year together. So they sat themselves in the back in the last three seats.

"Dude Danny we're SENIORS. Can you believe it?" Tucker exclaimed a bit too loudly.

"Mr. Foley, can you please quiet down. This is study hall you know."

"Yes ma'm." Tucker slumped down in his seat a bit more. Sam rolled her eyes. This is going to be a long year.

When lunch rolled around a big banner hung above the gym doors.

"HOMECOMING NEXT FRIDAY"

They grabbed their lunches and headed outside to sit on a picnic bench.

"I don't see what the big deal is about a stupid dance. I don't need to be asked out to feel special."

She looked across the bench at her two friends across from her. They weren't even paying attention! She turned around to see what they were staring at and rolled her eyes. Paulina, of course.

"Oh please, Paulina? Girls like her are a dime a dozen."

Danny and Tucker started digging into their pockets.

"How much change you got?"

"Oh haha very funny. Just remember, you can't tell a book by it's cover."

"Well I guess there's only one way to be sure. Go check out that book Danny."

Sam looked down at her salad moving around the lettuce.

"I can't, I get all weak kneed talking to cute girls."

Sam was instantly offended.

"Oh but you have no problem talking to me."

She grabbed her salad and books and walked away not bothering to hear some lame excuse. She found herself sitting on the ground under her locker, finishing her salad when a cool winter mint appeared in her mouth. A roar was heard soon later. Sam didn't bother exclaiming she was 'going ghost' as she felt a cold shudder and saw two silver rings encase her body. Her outfit was a look like Dani's only instead of pants she had a skirt/short combo with her knee length boots. She made herself intangible as she saw Danny running into the hallway looking around for the same ghost she was. He looked down and saw her books on the floor and a sad look fell on his face. Seconds later he shouted "I'm going ghost!" and changed himself as well. Sam floated through hall ways looking for the sound of the roar when she noticed it was outside on the football field.

"Hey Dragonette!" She exclaimed getting the ghost dragon's attention. It turned around and automatically swung at her with its huge claw. She barely missed and aimed a ball of purple ecto-material straight at its head.

"Hey!"

Oh no, not Danny!

He floated next to her.

"Who the hell are you?"

"I'm uh, "she never figured out a name "Ghost X"

She saw him visible blanch at her name.

"Well, 'Ghost X', you can leave now, I have this under control."

She put her hands on her hips.

"And just who do you think you are Danny? My god all I was doing was helping-"

Danny's eyes squinted and she noticed her mistake.

"I never told you my name."

"Yeah well, you're known around the Ghost zone."

Danny blindly aimed a beam of blue ecto-material at the ghost dragon.

"That may be but I've never heard of you before."

Sam turned her head and noticed the ghost had disappeared.

"Look what you did Danny! It's gone!"

She followed him as he touched down and grabbed some kind of amulet.

"Going to give that to your girlfriend?" She mocked.

"I don't have one, yet." He smirked at the last part. He turned around and faced her.

"Although with a pretty girl like you a ghost girlfriend would be better."

Sam almost fell over. Since when was Danny so flirtatious?

"Although," he continued "You look like this hot Goth girl at my school."

Sam almost fell over again.

"Huh?"

Danny smirked at her and changed back into his human form.

"It's your turn now."

"I never agreed to that."

And with that Sam went intangible and changed back to her regular form.

As she walked into her next class she saw Danny and Paulina holding hands, the amulet around Paulina's neck. Sam rolled her eyes as a deep feeling of envy and jealousy filled her stomach.

Tucker and Danny brought up the dance as they all settled in their seats in the back of class.

"Honestly guys I'm glad I'm not going to the dance. It saves me the embarrassment of having to wear this lame dress my mom bought me."

"So no one's asked you huh?" Noted tucker doodling a new piece of technology on his notebook.

"Well maybe if I was as pretty as Paulina."

"Why are you always so down on her? It's not like being pretty is a crime."

"Looks are deceiving Danny." Sam smiled a bit with the double meaning.

All the sudden her hand covered her mouth as she disguised her cool mint breath with a fake yawn.

Danny didn't bother covering his.

"Ghost time! Dude can I have your fries?"

"Sure." He said as he ran off to go hide to change.

Sam ran off shouting 'bathroom' to Tucker as she ran off to change into her oh so clever alias of 'Ghost X'. Wait til Jazz hears that one.

She heard Danny talking to the ghost dragon.

"Say, haven't we met before?"

"I was just going to say the same thing." Sam said as she appeared beside him.

"You again? Why don't you just get lost?"

"Oh Daniel, you hurt my feelings." She held the back of her hand to her forehead in a dramatic manor.

He gave her a hard glare that was interrupted by the dragon's tail aiming for her. He pushed her out of the way and the tail hit him into the nearest shop.

"Hey don't you touch him!" Sam yelled as she focused her energy into a strong ecto-beam that sent the ghost dragon flying. Somehow it disappeared again and Sam flew down to pick Danny out of the rubble.

"Hey you okay Fenton?"

He held his head and changed back.

"How did you-"

She disappeared after he got to his feet. She materialized in the bathroom stall and changed back. Her shoulder hurt from when Danny knocked her out of the way. She found her way back to their table where Danny was popping a few pills. He looked up at her with tired eyes.

"Hey Sam, where'd that bruise come from?" asked Tucker noticing her bruised arm.

"Oh that? I uh fell, wet floor near the bathroom."

Tucker and Sam were to meet Danny and Paulina at the dance. But when Sam opened the door she was clad in a stunning yet simple strapless black dress, black stilettos, a purple stone dangling from her neck and her hair curled up and pulled into a off the shoulder pony tail.

"Wow Sam, you look great!" Tucker exclaimed and extended his arm to her. She gave him a big smile and let him lead her into his car.

Her smokey eyes scanned the room for Danny. She saw him talking to Paulina and she rolled her eyes before walking up to him with Tucker in tow.

"Hey Danny!"

"H-hey Sam. You look uh you look great!"

Sam inwardly smiled at the fact that he stuttered a bit. Paulina looked stand off-ish and didn't seem to care anyone was there.

Over the time of the dance Sam had ran into Paulina in the bathroom. While Sam reapplied her eyeliner she heard someone talking to her and saw Paulina standing next to her.

"Well it seems you actually made Goth look okay Goth freak."

"Thanks, you made being a slut and a shallow bitch work out as well."

Paulina growled at her and suddenly began to change into the ghost dragon. As she was still small Sam threw her out the bigger bathroom window and out onto the football field. Sam changed into 'Ghost X' and flew out onto the field with her.

"Well I always knew you were evil but ghostly evil?"

Sam battled out the dragon before being held tightly in its claw, unable to become intangible. Her lack of supper and the growing tightness around her body caused her to loose consciousness.

When she woke up she saw the eyes of Danny Phantom looking down at her.

"Danny? What happened?"

"You were caught up by the ghost dragon that turned out to be Paulina."

"Well, I'm glad you saved me."

She gave him a small smile.

"Hey no problem, us fellow halfies have to stay together."

"Huh?" It was then that she realized in his eyes she wasn't Sam Manson, she was 'Ghost X' Great, now how do I get out of here.

She stood up to leave and felt a wave of nausea hit her as she started to fall forward again.

"Danny.."

When she woke up again she noted she was in a bed. She looked around and noted she was in Danny's bedroom. She got up and looked in the mirror and saw she was slowly fading from 'Ghost X' to Sam Manson. She quickly became intangible and flew home.

That was way too close for my liking.

Her phone vibrated on her nightstand and she noted she had over 20 missed calls.

"Hello?"

"SAMANTHA MANSON."

"Danny?"

"DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW LONG I'VE BEEN TRYING TO REACH YOU?"

"Danny calm down, I-"

"NO I WILL NOT CALM DOWN THERE WAS A GHOST I COULD'VE LOST YOU."

"You could've-"

Danny coughed. "I mean, we could've lost you. Sam don't do that again okay?"

"Fine but Danny what happened?"

"This girl ghost tried defeating the ghost dragon but couldn't do it so I had to step in. I left her in my room but when I went back up there she was gone."

"Oh, I see."

"Well hey, Tucker and I are going to the park. Wana come?"

"Yeah sure I'll see you soon."

Sam hung up and noticed she was still wearing her dress. She wiped off her make up and straightened up her hair. She chose to wear a band t-shirt and some short shorts to wear in and decided to wear her converse for easy walking. She left the house dully noting her parents were no where to be found and told her grandma she'd be out for a while.

She walked up the hill and noticed Tucker and Danny lying down on the grass seemingly sleeping. She kicked Danny's foot and he grunted in annoyance. She laid down in between them and closed her eyes and let out a deep sigh.

"So what happened to you Sam? That's rude to leave you're date you know."

"Sorry Tucker, I felt sick so I went home."

"You're not pregnant are you?"

She opened her eyes and swatted at him.

"Tucker!"

Danny laughed beside her and she hit him too.

"You guys are jerks."

She went to go stand up when she felt Danny's arm lay across her, holding her down. His eyes aren't even open. It's like he knows what I'm going to do before I do it.
