This kinda grew into my mind all of a sudden since something similar is happening to me and I'm considering this option, although it honestly goes against all my principals. Please review and let me know what you think.

Another clear night was surrounding Amity park. It was already late on the night, while everyone was sleeping, one girl was awake. She couldn't sleep and was currently fighting her feelings with all her streaght to forget her best friend.

"Emptiness. That's all that I can feel right now, why? Because of him of course!" She whispered to herself sadly as she sat on her bed. "No. I can't feel this because of him."

She closed her eyes and, immediatelly, images from the previous hours flashed right before her eyes.

Sam Manson was seating next to her friends at lunch time, just simply enjoying life her own way. She was happily scowling her friends for eating animals while she ate her salad and juice. Her individuality statement of clothes was once again ignored, as well as her comments about eating meat. She hated those preppy girls; they only wore what could get the boy's attention! Everything was normal, nothing out of the ordinary as far as she could tell, that is, except the fact that Danny was drooling.

"What's wrong with you?" She asked as she turned her gaze to the direction his eyes were staring at. There stood miss popularity, looking eagerly for her next victim. "Hey! Keep the drool to yourself, will you!?"

"Relax Sam! It's his hormones! It's normal for him to like pretty girls, I mean, come on! Who doesn't?" Tucker smiled as he changed his direction to Paulina too.

Danny snapped back to reality when she entered the school with a huge ammount of boys all around her. "Um... you said something, Sam?"

"No." She said angrily as she stood and walked away, leaving a confused best friend behind.

She couldn't stand it anymore, she stood from the bed and made her way to the window of her dark room. The moon and stars shone brightly, almost mockingly as a tear passed her white cheeks. "I'm not pretty enough for him..." she cried for what seemed hours, until the sun came up and until it was almost time for school. She realized this and immediatelly walked to her bathroom, she had to look at least acceptable at school, not that he'll notice anyway...

She opened the drawer and changed clothes, a short black skirt and a black tee shirt. She looked at herself in the mirror and sighed, remembering Tucker's words. 'It's normal for him to like pretty girls...' That hit her harder than her own frustrated love. He didn't pay attention to her as a girl, no, he took her as a friend.

Just a friend.

She sighed once more as she made her way to the closet, ripping the clothes off as fast as she could. She oppened the side of the closet that she used to lock down; the side of the closset she kept the horrible pink clothes her mom always bought on a daily basis.

"I can't belive I'm gonna do this..." She whispered as she carefully picked a short pink skirt with a fuzzy texture. She shivered and threw it on top of her legs, feeling the soft fabric tickling them. "I'll never forgive myself..."

She grabbed a hot pink, long sleeved blouse that showed her belly button and placed it over her skin with a look of disgust plastered on her face. She couldn't feel any worse when she looked again in the mirror. It was horrible! She pushed her opinion to the back of her head and opened a drawer, only to see many black and purple eye shadows. She looked around, she knew that Pamela had bought her a huge collection of pink make up, now, where did she hid it? The idea popped into her mind in less than a second, under the bed!

"Yes!" She said as she found it and picked it up. "I just hope he notices me, for once."

She applied the pink and white material on her small face and felt her eyes water up. This wasn't her, she was being just as shallow as Paulina! But she had a different reason... it wasn't to impress all the boys, just one. She knew that it worked when he had his memory erased; he actually liked her! Now, if he was going to notice her again, she had to change, for him.

"All my work for individuality... all the fights with my parents!" She sighed as she wipped a stray tear. "All for nothing."

After she got ready for school, she changed her backpack with a little white purse she kept hidden on her room. It was in the shape of a cat with a ribbon that said "diva" on it. When she climbed down the stairs, she looked around just to make sure the coast was clear and made her way to the door, ready to face the dreaded day.

Danny woke up that morning with a huge head ache. Yesterday he had spend most part of the night trying to figure out what had gotten into Sam, she just marched away! No matter how many times he tried to find a reason, he failed. He knew that she hated Paulina, but why? She never done anything to Sam, did she? Okay, so she called a little of his attention, but well, she was gorgeous! At least, on the eyes of Danny.

"I guess I'll find out today..." He sighed as he changed from his PJs to his average clothes, a white and red shirt with some old jeans. He dashed his way to breakfast and finished quickly, only to run outside and miss the bus. "Darn it!"

"I'm going ghost!" He yelled after looking around carefully for any curious eyes. He transformed into his alter ego 'Danny Phantom' and flew to school, with a small weird feeling in the pit of his stomach. He couldn't think straight, he just couldn't concentrate on the road; his thoughts always seemed to wonder into Sam and Paulina. "Why do they hate each other so much?"

Of course, being the clueless Danny, he couldn't figure out that it was because Sam had a huge crush on him since forever and that Paulina was a shallow enough to flirt with him only to take him away from her. He tried so hard that he forgot to look forward, crashing painfully into the wall of a building. "Ow..." He murmured as he found his way to school once more.

Sam walked around the streets, looking around to make sure no one saw her like this. She was lucky, no one seemed to notice her until she was in school grounds. She had a train of thoughts that just kept her feeling sad; if she was going to look preppy for Danny, she had to act preppy too. Apparently he would only notice her if she was popular, or at least not Goth, or unic, or special, or anything. She had to be just like everybody else.

"So... I'll just behave like a shallow slut until he notices me. If he does, I'll just have to behave like Paulina does around him! Just to make him notice me!" She wined as she entered the school doors. Luckly she was late, which meant that everybody should be in class. She ran as fast as her high, hot pink heels let her and found that the classroom door was closed. "Oh, great. Now he should be arond here with Tucker!"

"Sam!? Is that you!?"

She turned around and came face to face with none other than Tucker. "Hey..."

"What did you do to yourself!?" He asked still shocked. "You look... different!"

She took a deep breath and tought of something to say. "Is different good enough?"

"What?" He asked confused looking at her. She wasn't wearing her long purple socks and for the first time ever, she showed her legs to the world. He had to admit, she looked beautiful. "Good enough? You look great!"

"I guess that's a yes..." She mumbled sadly, faking a smile and held the urge to scream.

He couldn't snap out of his daze, Sam actually looked preppy enough like Paulina! Then, something hit him. "Did you do this for Danny?"

She took a few seconds to answer, and simply shrugged. "Who else Tuck? Speaking of which, where is he anyway?"

"I dunno, he's still not here." He shrugged and turned around, coming face to face with a shocked Danny. "And now he is."

"S-Sam?" He asked softly, taking her image to his senses slowly. "W-what happened to you?"

"What, I can't have a little change in my appearence?" She asked seriously, not even a drop of sarcasm in her voice. "I can do what I want you know."

"Yeah, but... this isn't like you." He manage to say before feeling like he didn't know her all of a sudden. "What happened to individuality and specialness?"

He caught her, she wasn't sure what to say that wouldn't get her into trouble. "Erm... It's not like it would matter anyway Danny, do you like it?"

There, she managed to change the subject without him noticing! He looked at her again and again, just to make sure that he was seeing right. Sam Manson, Goth freak and popularity hater stood right before him; dressed in pink and white, her hair straight with a pink headband and looking just as cute as she could manage to.

"Well?" She asked anxious. She was starting to freak out since he didn't answer and tried to put a puppy dog stare, just in case he didn't like it. Apparently it worked since he nodded softly and smiled. "I love it."

"Yes!" She tought triumphally as she noticed that he actually liked it. "He loves it!"

"Look who decided to join the pretty people." A voice said from behind the trio with a latin accent.

"Paulina." Sam thought bitterly but remembered that to get Danny's love, she had to act like her. "I can change my fashion mind, can't I?"

Paulina smirked and walked closer to her. "What do you want me to think? We all know that you're still that freak under those clothes..."

"I'm not a freak!" She yelled but gained self control and bit her lip. "Not anymore..."

Danny and Tucker just stared at the arguing girls in shock; did Sam actually admited that she was a freak? Something must have happened to Paulina too, because she just smiled and nodded.

"Yeah, you don't look like a freak anymore; but does that mean that you'll stop acting all loser like?" She mocked and Sam held the urge to punch her.

"Just watch me." Sam dared through barely closed teeth.

"You. Are. On." Paulina smiled as she turned around and walked away.

"What was that all about?" Tucker asked after a few seconds of silence. "Are you gonna change the way you are for him too?"

Sam gave Tucker a glare that immediatelly shut him up, but Danny, being as clueless as he is couldn't help but ask...

"Who are you changing for Sam?"
