A/N: So here's my first submission to the Writer's Block Challenge. For those of you who don't know about this, the Writer's Block Challenge is a challenge set up by Danny Phantom SG-1 and myself. Each week a new prompt will be posted by us and anyone who wants to participate in it can. All you have to do is write a DP oneshot on the given topic. For more information just ask in a review, pm, or go to one of our profile pages. Of course, this week's topic is Falling Stars.
As for my piece, it is from Paulina's pov. It takes place during Memory Blank. This fic is almost completely consistent with the episode except I had Paulina lose her memory of Phantom a few minutes before her party rather than the day before. Make sense? Everything else pretty much is in line with the eppie.
So as usual I don't own DP. I ask that you please review... and now on to the story!
Falling Stars
"Ooh! I can't wait until tonight!" I squealed as I got ready for my big birthday party. I was so excited! Tonight I was going to wish to meet the ghost boy!
Ever since I first saw him I knew he was the one for me. He was so handsome and dashing and strong and so mine! We were perfect for each other. He was perfect and I was perfect. What more does a relationship need? And besides, there was no one else at Casper High worthy of me. They were all total losers. But the ghost boy wasn't a loser…
I sighed. The meteor shower was on the night of my birthday. They say if you wish upon a falling star your wish will come true. Well, there is only one thing that I want. I want the ghost boy. I want to meet him and hug him and kiss him and make him completely mine.
I put on my prettiest pink dress and my best make up. I have to look super pretty for the ghost boy. I walked down the stairs. My papa was waiting for me.
"You look beautiful, dear," he said as he looked at me.
"Thanks papa! Is everything ready?" I asked as we walked together to the door. He opened it and allowed me to go outside first.
"Yes. Everything is just how you said," he said.
I looked around to make sure that what he said was true. He was. There were balloons and streamers and a disco ball and a dj and everything! It was almost perfect. Almost. All I needed now were the guests and him. If he showed up for my party this will by my best birthday ever!
"Thanks papa!" I said and turned around to go back inside. I needed to be at the front door to make sure no uninvited losers show up… especially ones without presents.
Around six o'clock the guests started showing up. Everyone was there and they all brought presents. This made me happy. Birthdays are all about the gifts.
I waited nervously as the last few showed up. I then went out back to start the party.
My papa stood beside the back door waiting for me to give the command to start the dance. I joined him and raised my arms up high.
"Let's get this party started!" I yelled. The music started and the lights glittered. I smiled and joined my friends on the dance floor. We danced around and waited for the falling stars. A few minutes later they started coming down like perfect rain. They were so beautiful! And they were falling just for me!
"Look everyone! Falling stars! Close your eyes and make a wish!"
Everyone squeezed their eyes shut and started making their wishes. I did the same. But then I couldn't remember what I wanted. I knew there was something special I wanted but I couldn't remember what it was! I looked around at everyone else. What did I want?
I stared up at the starry sky. What did I want to wish for? It had to be something special. Something really special… like me! I was Paulina Sanchez. Everything I did had to be perfect because I was perfect! So what would the perfect wish be?
Suddenly I felt really dizzy. Wait…
"The ghost boy…!" I whispered excitedly. How could I forget about him?! "I wish I could meet the ghost boy," I wished excitedly as I watched the last falling star disappear.
I waited… and waited… and waited… and I didn't see him! Where was he? Falling stars make wishes come true, right? So I just wished to see him so he should come right?
I pouted. This was my birthday and I wanted my ghost boy to show up for it or else this won't be the most perfect birthday ever!
"Hey Paulina! What's wrong?" asked Star.
"I wished to meet the ghost boy and he hasn't come! I thought wishing on falling stars made stuff happen!" I explained.
Star understood. She frowned and nodded. "Yeah, that's what Mr. Lancer said in class… I think. I wasn't really paying attention," Star replied. She smiled. "Oh well. Maybe it takes a while for the falling star to hear you."
"Yeah! Maybe he'll come tomorrow! Or maybe," I grinned, "maybe he's waiting till I'm alone."
Star giggled. "Yeah, probably. He is in love with you."
I giggled too. "Totally. We were so meant for each other."
Sometime after midnight the last guests left. I ran back up to my room without saying goodnight (I had better things to do) and opened my window. I stared outside into the darkness. Where was my ghost boy?
"Oh falling stars, where is my ghost boy?"
A/N: So did you like it? I tried my best to keep Paulina in character. Do you think I did well with that? Do you think she was so ooc that it was an embarrassment to fanfic writers everywhere? Please tell me in a review! Also, if you're interested in the Writer's Block Challenge please say so in the review! Thanks!
