Hey guys here's chapter two!

-DP-

Dora sighed and glanced around the room before she began her story.

-FLASHBACK-

Dora stood on a wood pedestal in front of a three way mirror as her two lady's in waiting, by the names of Wanda and Grace, laced up her girdle and tied on the different puffy and lace coved layers of her Ball gown.

"Do you actually think sir phantom will attend?" Wanda asked as she finished knotting the princess's girdle, she gave it one more tug for good measure to make sure it wouldn't come undone.

"I hope so, I did invite him, and he said he would come." Dora replied as she watched the reflection of the lady's as they dress her.

"Ha," Grace laughed "I was told that he didn't just simply say 'yes' to your invite."

"What why, what did he say?" Wanda asked with curiosity as she slipped the top part of the two peace dress over Dora's head, and adjusted it so it fit her properly and complimented her figure.

"Well, when I first told him that I wanted to throw a ball in honor of his death day he said that he really didn't need to be honored for anything, especially for 'dyeing', as he put it." Dora replied with an earnest expression. Dora jolted a bit as Grace laced the last part of the bottom half of the dress with a hard tug. Then both of the girls quickly got to work lacing the top and bottom pieces together, so it looked like the dress was a one peace to begin with.

"So then how did you convince him to come?" Wanda asked.

"Uh…" Dora stuttered as a blue blush dusted over her face.

"Well from what I was told, she gave him the puppy dog eyes and pestered him until he said yes!" Grace giggled as Wanda looked up at the princess with an astonished expression.

"Did you truly do that my lady?" she asked with a smirk.

"Sort of…" Dora said as her blush only deepened and all three girls erupted into a fit of giggles.

Wanda pulled a silk ribbon around Dora's midsection and tied it in a bow in the back of the dress.

"There!" She announced "All finished!"

Dora examined herself in the three way mirror; she smiled and nodded her head in approval.

"Thank you both for helping me to get ready." Dora said as she flashed a thankful grin at her two ladies in waiting.

Just then the three girls heard a knock at the door.

"Oh, It's probably those blasted new maids I hired last week," Wanda scoffed in frustration. "I'm telling you it's almost impossible to find good help these days." She complained as she waltzed over to the door and tugged it open. She let out a surprised gasp when she realized that Roger, the head of the palace guard, was the one who had been knocking.

"Oh, uh, hello Mrs..." Roger greeted with a shy smile. "I have a message for Princess Dora, may I come in?"

"Oh of course," Wanda replied and invited him inside. "You just arrived at the right moment, my assistant and I just got done dressing her for the ball tonight."

"What news do you have for me?" Dora asked from the other side of the room. The knight turned his attention to Dora and quickly bowed.

"I'm sorry for having to intrude your highness, but Sir Phantom is here." Roger explained.

"He is? Well he's quite early." Dora mumbled before she readdressed Roger again. "Where is he?"

"He is getting fitted in a suit amour, considering he didn't come wearing one. Which I don't understand, I thought you had knighted him. Doesn't he know he's supposed to where it to Ball's?" Roger asked as he crossed his arms over his chest.

Dora rolled her eyes. "He doesn't understand our way of things; After all he was not born in our time period, and to be fair I didn't really explain to him that this would be a formal party."

She said as she walked past her head guard's man.

Roger only mumbled something incoherent underneath his breath before he followed the princess to the armory. Dora felt shivers run down her spine as she slowly made her way through the castle halls, Small flashbacks of her death were gradually flashing threw her mind. She didn't know if she'd be able to enter the armory again considering that's where she was brutally murdered. She became even more rigged as she made her way down the green stone steps that led to her destination.

"Are you alright?" Roger asked from behind her. "You're shaking…"

Dora turned around and flashed Roger a wary smile. He had always been kind to her; he was one of her best friends and always tried to protect her. So it didn't really surprise her that he noticed her discomfort, after all they had been friends since childhood and he knew her better than anyone else in the kingdom.

"I'm fine, it's just…" Dora said sorely, not finishing her sentence because she knew if she said it then she would have to relive the memory. A look of realization suddenly dawned on Roger's.

"I-I'm a moron!" Roger cried, "I should of- Dora You can go back upstairs I can bring sir Phantom to you once he's been fitted."

"Thank you Roger, but I really feel like I should go…. I need to get over it." Dora replied hesitantly, with her eyes cast on the ground. "I'll be fine."

Roger tilted her chin up with his hand so they were making eye contact.

"You're sure?" he asked with concern.

Dora smirked slightly, as a blush dusted over her face from Rogers's sudden display of affection.

"I'm sure."

Roger looked like he was about to say something else, but he and Dora quickly broke apart at the sound of someone running up the steps in armor.

A baffled Danny stood in on the downward part of the steps.

"Uh… Am I interrupting something?" Danny asked, his eyes flicking back and forth between Dora and Roger.

An embarrassed laugh escaped Dora's lips. "No, no, I- really Sir Phantom you didn't interrupt a single thing!"

Danny raised an eyebrow at her reaction before he glanced over at the rigged knight that was standing beside her. He recognized him from earlier 'I think he said his name was Roger…' Danny thought. Danny glanced Roger over; the ghost was tall with blue skin and green hair. He was fairly skinny, but he still had a little bit of muscle to him and he was fully decked out in purple and silver armor without a helmet. Roger had his arms over his chest and he was glancing everywhere except Danny, with a guilty look on his face.

"Well you look very handsome Sir Phantom." Dora said with another nervous laugh, she was trying her best to change the subject.

"Uh… Thanks Dora," Danny replied with a smile, though his smile faltered when he saw Rogers fuming jealous look.

"You're welcome Sir Phantom." Dora responded with fake eagerness as she discreetly elbowed Rogers in the ribs. Not that the action did much, because he was outfitted in armor but it was enough to grab his attention.

Roger rolled his eyes before flashing a quick smile at Danny.

"Sir Phantom, this is Roger." Dora explained as she gestured towards the knight. "He's the head of the castle guards."

"I know, I encountered him earlier, he's the one that brought me to the armory." Danny said.

'Though he was nicer then, I wonder why he seems to be upset?' Danny pondered.

Surprise dawned on Dora's face; Roger almost never dealt with guests and come to think of it he was usually kind to everyone, but he wasn't acting like that around Danny. Dora brushed the bothersome thoughts off and began to walk back up the stone steps, motioning for the two boys to follow after her.
