This is set to take place before PP, but still around the end of the last season.

I DO NOT own Danny Phantom. All rights go to Butch Hartman. The only things I own are the plots and OC'S I created.

Also, I like the idea for this story, I think it was kinda done before in the episode "What You Want" but mine is different and takes a whole other turn on what could've happened in that episode, but I just use different people.

A/N the following text above probably makes no sense, but when you read this chapter and chapter 2 you will understand. For now just R&R please!

Chapter 1: The Build Up

"Was I really destined to have these powers? Was I given them for a reason? 'Cause sometimes they can be a real pain in the butt." Danny admitted while sitting on his bed chatting with his two best friends.

"I think you were given them for a reason, Danny. Remember how Tucker acted when he wished for powers with Desiree? And how Vlad uses his powers for bad? I think you were given them because you're the only person who would actually use them responsibly." Sam said thoughtfully.

"If by using them responsibly you mean overshadowing people to make them do what you want, going intangible to dodge a ball making it hit the person behind you, and flying right past your best friend on the way to school so you wont be late… then yeah sure, Danny uses his powers responsibly. " Tucker mumbled to himself.

"I don't know, I bet you'd be just like Wonder Woman if you had these powers, Sam." Danny said shyly.

Sam and Danny's faces turned slightly red. "That must mean he thinks I'm wonderful!" Sam thought in delight.

"Oh god. I hope I don't become the third wheel anytime soon." Tucker thought, annoyed with their mushy behavior. "Can we just go to school now? Before we're late or before I puke?" Tucker questioned jokingly.

"Alright. Walk or fly?" Danny asked.

POV CHANGE

"Today's going to be the day that Danny Phantom falls in love with me!" Paulina exclaimed to herself as she looked in the mirror. "La da de, la da do, la da dum." She hummed to herself while bushing through her long brown curls.

After applying makeup, brushing her teeth, and putting on perfume, she walked downstairs and laced up her shoes while staring desperately at the car keys on the console that were calling out to her, then she walked outside into the muggy weather. "I can't wait until I can drive and Daddy buys me my own car." She thought.

While walking to school, she notices a short cut she took once while walking with Dash to school. It looked kind of sketchy, since it was through an alleyway, but she was late and it was quicker than walking around all the buildings so she decided to take her chances and just go with it.

As she walked through the alley, she heard the wind whistle an eerie tune. Tiny noises and sounds all began to seem so loud, she became very paranoid. Every little bug flying, every little smack her shoe made when it hit a puddle made her skin crawl. To make matters worse, the sky's light was a dim blue. The kind of blue the sky looks when it has just rained, or is about to rain. With barely any light from the sky, and the darkened alley, Paulina was in shadows.

Almost abruptly, she heard a bang come from behind her. She tried convincing herself it was just a dirty sewer rat, but that made her even more terrified. As Paulina turned around, her eyes went from the ground and then up, up, up. Her sparkling blue eyes held a glimmer of green reflection and a look of terror. She then let out a loud-pitched shriek from her mouth when she saw the foul creature that stood in front of her.

A/N I hope that was a interesting + good first chapter. I'm in kind of a happy mood and I got a boy on my mind so it was difficult to get the words right in the story. I wanted it to sound creepy and leave you on the edge of your seat... or office chair. I hope it did, and I hope it left you wondering some things. What did Paulina see? Was it ghostly? What did I mean when I said, "I like the idea for this story, I think it was kinda done before in the episode "What You Want" but mine is different and takes a whole other turn on what could've happened in that episode, but I just use different people."? Any guesses, lemme know? Also, did Paulina seem a little OOC? I hope not! R&R!
