Three months had gone by since Diana Fenton had learned about her ghost powers. With the help of her father, Danny, she was becoming an expert at them. It was now November and Diana was happy because Monday would be the start of Thanksgiving break. She really didn't care for the holiday but anything to get her out of school she was for. Diana and her friends Alex Blade, Whittany Foley, Kelly and Michael Baxter were sitting around a picnic table in the school courtyard making plans for their Friday night.
"Ok so what's all playing at the movie theater?" Whittany asked her friends
"Well Zombie Slayer 3 came out last week. We could see that." Diana suggested.
Kelly shook her head. "No way! Zombies freak me out. Besides I haven't even seen Zombie Slayer 1 or 2."
"Well what should we do?" Michael asked. "How come it's gotten harder to think of something to do on Friday lately?"
Diana shrugged. "I don't know. I guess its because we've done everything." There was a short pause and then Diana thought of something. "Oh! I know! You guys could come over to my house and we could watch a movie there."
"That's a great idea!" Kelly agreed "We haven't done that in like forever." Everyone agreed on that then Whittany asked, "What should we watch?"
"I don't care." Diana said. "Any suggestions?"
"Anything's fine with me except for 'Phantom of the Opera'." Michael said.
Diana frowned. "What's wrong with 'Phantom of the Opera'?" Diana actually liked that movie.
"Nothing. I've just seen it so many times I could recite it right now." Michael said.
"Ok fine." Diana said. There was another short pause. Whittany broke the silence.
"Oh! We could watch 'Titanic'!" Whittany suggested.
"Yeah I love that movie!" Diana agreed
Kelly nodded. "Me too! And that Jack guy is so hot!"
"Oh my gosh I know." Diana said. That caught Alex's attention.
"Who's Jack?" He asked Diana. Whenever Diana thought a guy or something about a guy was hot and it wasn't him it bugged him. He didn't know why it bugged him so much and not knowing why it bugged him just bugged him even more.
"Jack is one of the main characters," Diana answered. "Played by hot Leonardo Dicaprio."
"Yeah but he's like old now." Kelly said to Diana.
"I know that. "Diana told Kelly.
"Well I don't want to see that movie anyway," Michael said. "I hate romantic movies."
"Have you even seen it?" Whittany asked him.
"No but I heard it had all these gushy love parts in it."
Kelly sighed. "I wish I was Rose then I'd get to make out with Jack."
Alex turned to Diana. "They make out in the movie?"
"Yeah. They make out at least four or five times," Diana answered. "Come to think of it 'Titanic' is a pretty extreme movie."
"Nah, it's not extreme. Its rated PG13 after all." Whittany said.
"Yeah but I would've thought that they would rate it R with that whole drawing thing."
Michael was confused. "Wait a minute, what drawing thing?"
"Oh, Jack draws a picture of Rose naked." Diana answered.
"Then maybe I will like this movie." Michael said.
Diana made a discussed look at Michael. "Michael you're so perverted." She would have gone on but at that moment Diana and Alex's ghost sense went off. A light blue mist came out of her mouth whenever a ghost was near. The same happened with Alex and Diana stood up and looked around to see where the ghost was. They both looked across the street and saw the ghost. It was a huge green snake and it was knocking down everything in site. Diana and her friends got up and ran behind the school building.
"Wow. That's the weirdest looking ghost I've ever seen." Kelly said once they got there.
"I've seen weirder," Diana said. She looked at Alex. "You ready?"
Alex smiled. "I'm always ready." Diana smiled back and transformed. Alex watched her for a second then transformed too. A beam of blue light formed around Diana's hips and then separated into two. The first ring went up over her head and the other went down her legs. The rings changed her normal clothes into a black jumpsuit that ended in a skirt with white gloves and black boots and turned her black hair white and her violet eyes a glowing green. The same thing happened with Alex but the beams of light around him were red. The beams turned his clothes into a black and red jumpsuit and turned his blonde hair black and his brown eyes turned red with cat pupils.
Once they had transformed Diana and Alex flew off toward the snake ghost. Alex shot a red ecto-beam from his hand at the ghost and got its attention. "Hey creep!" Alex yelled to it. The ghost darted toward them. Diana and Alex shot beams at it but they didn't seem to be doing any good.
"Hey, watch this! My dad taught me it!" Diana yelled at Alex. She shot a beam at the ghost but instead of blowing up in its face it covered the ghost in ice and froze it in its path. Alex looked at Diana impressed. "Nice!"
Diana smiled. "Yep! He won't be getting out of there anytime soon." But then the ice surrounding the snake ghost started to crake and the ghost was free once again.
Alex looked over at Diana and frowned. Diana gave him a guilty smile. "Yeah, I'm still working on it."
The ghost spun around and swung his tail at Alex and Diana. Diana flew out of the way but Alex wasn't quick enough. Alex crashed into the side of the school building. "Lets stop fooling around. Use the Fenton Thermos on him!" Alex yelled to Diana.
Diana nodded and reached for her back but was surprised when the thermos wasn't there. She usually carried it on a strap over her shoulder so that it lay on her back but it wasn't there. Alex flew over to Diana to see what the hold up was.
Diana smiled sheepishly at Alex. "Uh, I can't find it."
"You lost it?" Alex yelled at her.
"Relax. It's in my locker…I think."
The snake ghost charged at the two friends. Alex noticed and shot a beam at it. "Well go get it," Alex called to Diana. "I can hold off this thing."
"You sure?"
"Positive. Just go!" Diana obeyed and flew off.
She phased through the side of the school and flew down the empty hallways until she got to her locker. She phased her hand through her locker door and pulled out a book. "Nope." Diana said as she put the book back into her locker. This time she pulled out a notebook. "Nope." She put it back and pulled out another book. "Nope." She put it back. This time she pulled out a banana peel. Diana looked at it. "How did that get in there?" She threw it on the floor and phased her head through the locker door. She saw her books, her pictures stuck on the walls of the locker, and all of her other junk but the thermos wasn't there.
Diana pulled her head out of her locker. "Maybe it's in Alex's locker." She said to herself. She flew down the hallway then stopped once she had reached Alex's locker. Diana phased her hand through the door and undid the lock. She opened the door and sure enough there was the Fenton Thermos sitting on top of Alex's books. Diana picked it up. She was about to close the locker door but something shiny caught her eye.
Diana opened the locker again and looked around to see what it was that she saw. Then she saw it. There was a necklace with a golden heart on it lying at the bottom of the locker. "A necklace? What would Alex do with a necklace? He doesn't even wear necklaces." Diana asked out loud. Then it hit her. "Oh my gosh! Alex!" Diana closed Alex's locker and flew as fast as she could out of the school. What Diana didn't notice about the necklace was that it had Alex and Diana engraved on it and a note attached to it that said: To Diana From Alex.
Meanwhile Alex was blasting at the snake ghost. The blasts didn't seem to be doing anything. Soon the ghost had Alex cornered. Alex kept firing at it but that only bad the ghost mad. The snake raised its head ready to strike at Alex.
"Down boy!" Alex said to the snake with a worried tone in his voice. The ghost wasn't listening. "Nice boy!" Alex didn't know what else to do. The snake stared angrily at Alex.
"Nice girl?" Alex said. The snake was ready to strike at him. Before Alex could scream Diana had sucked the ghost into the Fenton Thermos. Diana flew over to Alex and landed next to him.
"If you would've came here a few minutes earlier that would've been nice," Alex said to Diana. "What took you so long?"
"I had to look in my locker and then in yours." Diana answered
"Why mine?"
"The thermos was in there."
"I don't remember putting it in there," Then Alex thought of the necklace that he hid in his locker. "Uh, you didn't happen to see anything while you were getting the thermos did you?"
"Well sure I did."
Alex started to stutter nervously. "Uh, what, um, what exactly did you see?"
"Well I," Then Diana realized why Alex seemed so nervous. "Um, I saw that, uh, Biology test. Yeah! You failed again. Yeah." Diana lied.
Alex was relieved that Diana hadn't said anything about the necklace but he tried not to let that show. "Oh, yeah, that's what I meant. And I didn't fail! That was a solid D minus!" Diana giggled at his joke then noticed her three friends running toward them with Diana's dad following them.
"You two okay?" Danny asked once they had caught up to Diana and Alex. Diana nodded. "Yeah we're fine."
"What about the ghost?"
Diana gave her father the thermos. "Taken care of."
"But I did most of the work." Alex bragged.
"That's only because I had to get the thermos." Diana told him.
"Well you were supposed to have it with you."
"You know I'm bad at remembering things!"
Kelly smiled listening to Alex and Diana's little argument. "You two sound like married couple." She teased. Diana and Alex stopped and looked at Kelly.
"What's that supposed to mean?" They yelled at her with nervous tones.
"Oh nothing." Kelly smiled.
Diana let what Kelly said roll off her back. "Okay well let's get going. I know that Michael is just so eager to watch 'Titanic'." She joked. Diana and Alex both transformed back into their normal selves. The group started to walk toward the direction of the Fentons' house but Whittany stopped and grabbed Alex's arm. She waited until the others were far away so that they couldn't hear them.
"You like Diana don't you? No that's a stupid question of course you do."
Alex just stared at Whittany for a second. "Yeah…so?"
"So why haven't you asked her out yet?"
"Why do you want to know anyway?"
"Just because. Now why haven't you?"
Alex sighed. "I don't know. It would make things too complicated."
"What are you talking about?" Whittany asked.
"The whole ghost fighting thing," Alex answered. "It would make it more complicated than it already is."
"How would asking her out make that complicated?"
"You know what, it's none of your business anyway." Alex said to Whittany as he started walking to ketch up with the others. Whittany watched Alex run up to Diana and tapped her on her shoulder, which obviously surprised her. Diana yelled playfully at him and started chasing after him as he ran down the street. Whittany snapped out of her gaze and ran to ketch up.
