Author's Notes: Hopefully this will be my first time doing anything but a one-shot. Basically, Paulina inadvertently wishes to switch bodies with Sam for a day. After figuring out it wasn't permanent, they both decide to have a little fun. The most exciting part will come in a couple chapters, (lots of kissing going around in revenge ;]). Let me know what you think!

Disclaimer: I do not, sadly, own Danny Phantom, Fenton or anything else related to Butch Hartman's masterpiece of a cartoon. Too bad.

Paulina threw up her hands at this darn unpopular Goth. "Sam, you'll never get a boyfriend if you don't try to conform more to the standard! Guys don't like girls they don't understand!"

Miss Gothic put her hands on her non-existent hips. "And what is this standard? Because I'd really like to know what you think is so wrong with me!" She huffed. "Honestly, I'd think that they'd find it more obnoxious when they can't tell their girlfriend apart from every other loser in this school!"

Setting her lip gloss on the counter, Paulina put her hand on Sam's shoulder. Condescendingly she cooed, "I don't except you to understand, Samantha. I thought that you would at least give it a try before you rejected my ideas. I'm only trying to help." Sam shook off the other girl's 'helping hand' and stalked away.

Paulina slammed her make-up bag back into her purse. "Honestly! I wish that girl could just see what it was like to be me for one day and then try to be the individual she's always trying to be." She marched out of the bathroom.

Desiree materialized from out of a nearby vent. "So, she wants to switch bodies for a while? That can be arranged." She laughed and said her catch phrase line: "So you have wished it, so it shall be!"

Back in the lunch room, Sam stomped over to Danny and Tucker, dropping herself in the chair next to the latter. "I'm telling you guys, we are the only normal ones in this whole school!"

She looked up at Danny, sitting across from her, who was wearing a curious, and slightly hungry looking expression. "Really, Paulina?" He laughed, "That's nice and all, but why are you telling us?"

Tucker chimed in. "Yeah, why not tell your own friends? Not that I mind but…"

Chuckling dryly, Sam shook her head. "You guys are hilarious. I wouldn't be like that girl even if it meant Tucker had to stop eating meat!"

Danny squinted at her and leaned in. "Sam?"

She stood up, angry now. "Yes! Why on earth do you ask? Would you like to enter planet earth again any time soon?"

Just then, Sam felt a hand slip around her waist. "Hey!" She squealed, not to happy with whatever bozo was trying to get fresh with her. Whirling around, she stood face to face with Dash Baxter.

"Hey sweet thing." He purred, "Are we still on for that date tonight?"

Thank goodness for Sam's years of karate training.

With a few quick jabs, she had freed herself of his oncoming lips. "Freak!" She shouted, nearly sitting on the lunch table, (and on Tucker's double cheeseburger), her heart pounding.

A familiar flash was visible from a slightly open closet nearby. Danny Phantom suddenly flew out in between Dash and her. "Hey kid," he said, "apparently she doesn't want to talk to you right now. So I'd take that as a suggestion to scram!"

Someone in the crowd of bystanders laughed and called out, "Yeah Dash, if Paulina doesn't want to go out with you, I will!" Everyone laughed and dispersed, even Dash. He mostly just whimpered away with his tail between his legs. Danny flew away and reemerged a moment or two later to a still shaking Sam.

"Are you okay, Paulina? You don't seem like yourself."

Tucker just laughed and said helpfully, "Only if you are always blowing off your boyfriend in front of everyone!"

Sam didn't know what to think. "I'll be right back."

Paulina, having missed that little scene with Dash and Sam, saw him standing by his locker. Good, she thought, maybe my cute little boyfriend can cheer me up. It was half in sarcasm, (Paulina only went out with Dash for the popularity and his looks), but still she went up hopefully to him and tapped him on the shoulder. "Hey, Dashy." She said, nearly cooing.

One of the other jocks laughed and slammed Dash on the back. "Hey Dash, you never told us that this one was your backup for when Paulina gets mad." They all laughed, except Dash who barely chuckled, and gave him thumbs up.

"Look," he said, "I don't know what's going on here, but will you get away from me? I don't want to deal with you geeks anymore. It was bad enough Phantom showed up to break me away from my girlfriend…" His voice trailed off sadly.

Hands on her hips, Paulina fumed, "Girlfriend? Since when did Danny Phantom break you away from me? I'm right here!" She pointed at herself. "Hello!"

He cocked an eyebrow. "Uh, sure. Well, 'girlfriend'" he said, exaggerated quotation marks in the air, "why don't we break up? I'm going out with Paulina."

The jock crowd, with the odd cheerleader mixed in, laughed callously and moved away. "What just happened?" Paulina mumbled. Then she yelled, "And I am your girlfriend!"

Something was obviously wrong with her make-up, Paulina concluded, so she went back to the bathroom. As she opened the door, however, she saw the strangest thing she had ever seen standing there…

Herself?
