I walked down the halls of Casper High, watching the world go by. I sighed as I reached my locker. I had to move to New York City at the end of the week. I spun open my locker to grab the last book left. I shut my locker and sulked to my next class. I slid into my desk.

"What's wrong, Kate?" Danny asked me as he sat.

"I have to move to New York Friday." I grabbed a piece of scrap paper to write on. I wrote, "But I might see you. :)" I passed to Danny.

"Mr. Fenton!" Mr. Lancer shouted. "Passing notes?!"

"Um... No. Sir." Danny tried to cover the note.

The bell rang. "Sorry for getting you into trouble." I smiled.

"It's not your fault. It's his." Danny shrugged.

"Well, I still feel sorry."

"Ugh, happy fair." Sam sulked against my locker, which is next to Danny's.

"Hey, Sam," I said sarcastically. "How's the death?"

"Why you little," Sam gritted her teeth.

"Calm down." Danny intervened.

"You won't have to do that anymore." I said, a tear rolling down my cheek.

"Huh?" Sam and Danny said identically.

"I'm not going to be here after Friday." I wiped the tear away with my thumb. "I'm moving in with my weird uncle and his just as bizarre family. At least it can't get worse than Amity Park." I let out a laugh, then a sigh. "Man, I'm gonna miss you guys."

The last bell rang. "Ugh."

"What's wrong with you?" Tucker asked as I banged my head against my locker.

"I just found out that I'm going to high school with my cousin."

"School with family isn't that bad." I turned my head. "Okay, so it is pretty bad. But I can't really say that, since I don't have bizarre cousins." I sighed with my head still against the locker.

"I'm going to miss all the ghost hunting, hanging out with you guys and, of course, that cute Danny Phantom." I smiled as I turned my head. The smile immediately went away as Danny and Sam stared at me from a few feet away; Danny blushing and Sam furious."Well, uh, um, I got to go."

I flopped down on my bed, with a suitcase half full. I grabbed my phone. It was only 5:29 pm, but I had three text; one from Danny, Tucker, and Sam, each. The first one was Tucker's, which said, "Ur crushing on my man, danny? since when?" Sam's text read, "Since when have u had a crush on danny?" And lastly, Danny's text spelled on my phone, "U think im cute?!"

I texted Tucker back first. "Yeah. since like a while". I texted Sam next, "It doesnt matter. im movin". I texted Danny back last, "Yeah. 2 bad im movin".

I waited. Danny texted back first, saying, "I could fly 2 c u".

"I kno but its from amity 2 nyc", I responded. I got frustrated waiting for a text that I call Danny.

"What's wrong, Kate?" Danny answered the phone.

"I just wanted to call you, you know?" I curled my leg against my chest.

"So, what do you want to talk about?"

"I don't know. Well, now, I do. So you do realize you can't fly from the Mid-West to New York, at least not on a school night. It's like a three-hour trip, since your dad's hovercar thing is still being messed with. And that's only one way."

"So, a long-distance relationship is out of the question?"

"Who ever said anything about a long-distance relationship?"

"Tucker."

"Well, that explains it."

"What?"

"Tucker is a hopeless romantic tech nerd at heart."

"How do you know something like that?"

"We talk."

"When?"

I snorted, playfully, "During our honor classes, which explains the poor grades."

"Oh...kay," Danny said slowly.

"Okay, stupid question time."

"Okay, shoot."

"Do you or do you not like me?"

"Uh..."

"That's a yes?"

"Yes, I mean no."

"So, do you like me?"

"I'm trying to play hard to get, but I don't think it's working."

"No, duh, Sherlock. You implied you liked me, but I wasn't sure."

"Thanks for making me feel dumb."

"That's my job. Are you blushing?"

"What?!" Danny nearly shouted.

"Ugh. Why can't you just visit me?"

"Why didn't I think of that?"

"Because I'm the honors student." I giggled.

"Well, I'll be over in five."

"Okay," I hung up. My wallpaper of my phone showed me and Danny, goofing off.

I waited on my steps for Danny, Fenton or Phantom. He ran down my street as Fenton. His terrified look made me search the sky. Vlad Plasmius shot echotblast at Danny, obviously, purposefully missing.

"Danny, go inside," I said as I stood. He slid past me. I turned to Vlad. "Hey, leave him alone!" I shouted to get his attention. He smiled a smile like a child won frist prize at a fair.

"Daniel has a girlfriend?" He flew closer, "Perfect."

I woke up in a dark room on a metal table. "Ugh. My head."

"Good, you're awake," Vlad's voice echoed. "Now I can see what happens." I heard him flip a switch. A shock ran throughout my body. I screamed in pain. I screamed and screamed until I passed out.

When I woke up, it was 2am on Thursday. I quickly grabbed and dialed Danny's number. It rang twice before he answered. "Danny? We have a ghost problem."

Still half-asleep, Danny muttered, "Who? Where?"

"My house. Just come quick. I'm scared." I held my phone to my ear until I heard him hang up.

I huddled myself against the wall. I wrapped my arms around my legs, which were curled against my heaving chest. I waited, hoping it would all be a dream.

After about twenty minutes, Danny Phantom phased through my bedroom wall. He stopped after seeing me.

"Can you help me?" I said, shaking.

"Uh, I think so. What happened?" Danny moved closer.

"I don't know, but Vlad did it."
