Author's Note: Okay, so I'm gonna admit, the first two chapters aren't really the interesting parts of this story because the story hasn't even been dived into yet, so bear with me; I promise it'll get better soon!

Disclaimer: I'm seriously asking - do I have to write this disclaimer in every single chapter? It's getting really old. But anyway. Idon'townDannyPhantom. There.

Chapter 2

Even though Paulina Sanchez had worn her tightest jeans, her lowest V-neck, her best push-up bra, had her hair curled and perfectly flowing past her shoulders down to her mid-back, and was wearing heels that could cut diamonds, no one spared her a second glance.

She glared at every head that wasn't turned her way. Ever since the Disasteroid, a lot of people went a little crazy in their heads and realized that there were more important things in life than popularity and big boobs.

Needless to say, Paulina was furious ever since.

She entered her English class, and noticed the Techno-Geek-turned-town-mayor already in his seat. The seat in front of him, where his best friend Danny sat, was empty.

Paulina took her seat and tried not to fume. More people entered the classroom, and her best friend Star took the seat next to her. "Wow, Paulina," Star beamed at her enthusiastically. "I love the shoes."

Pauline absent-mindedly glanced down at her brand new Louboutin's. "Thanks," she muttered darkly, not in the mood for getting her ass kissed, even though that was not Star's intention. A few guys from the football team entered, including her ex-boyfriend, Dash Baxter.

Paulina had only made two mistakes in her life, and they were: dating star quarterback Dash Baxter, and breaking up with star quarterback Dash Baxter. Paulina had started dating Dash after she found out that the love of her life Danny Phantom was actually the loser Danny Fenton, and after many weeks of denial, broke up with Dash because there was nothing Dash could do to fill the space in her heart that was empty. Oh, and also because he was annoying as hell and was the worst kisser. Can someone even drool while kissing someone?

"Hey, babe," Dash took his usual seat in front of her and turned in his seat. She noticed how his eyes trailed down to her chest and then back up to her eyes. "Looking fine today."

"We broke up, Dash," Paulina rolled her eyes, pretending not enjoy the linger of his eyes on her cleavage. "You shouldn't call me babe anymore."

"Okay, not allowed to call you babe," he grinned flirtatiously at her. "But am I still allowed to check you out?"

Paulina was about to say 'and then some' when Mr. Lancer walked into class, and said, "Dash, if you'd please stop being inappropriate in my classroom and face the front board then I would deeply appreciate it, thanks."

A few snickers were heard, causing Paulina to redden with embarrassment, sitting up straighter and pulling her top up as Dash turned around. Mr. Lancer set his papers down on his desk and then faced the classroom. "Alright class. Now, if we could all just settle down–"

He was cut off when the classroom door burst open and a very misshapen Danny Fenton walked in. He gave Lancer an apologetic look and said, "Sorry I'm late, Mr. Lancer."

The way he was limping and the cuts on his face told everyone that he'd just gotten back from a ghost fight, but even though he looked like shit, he greeted Tucker with an easy smile and took his seat.

"Dear God, Mr. Fenton," Mr. Lancer's eyes widened. "Do you need to go to the nurse? You look terrible."

"Nah, you should see the other guy," Danny instantly replied, earning him a few chuckles from a lot of students.

"Daniel–"

"I'm fine, Mr. Lancer," Danny grinned good-heartedly. "Really."

Lancer looked reluctant to leave Danny looking like that, but he started the class anyway.

"Dude," she tuned out Lancer and focused with Tucker, who leaned forward in his seat to whisper to Danny. "Who messed you up?"

"He did not mess me up," Danny glared at his best friend. "The Box Ghost must be on steroids or something."

Tucker couldn't hide his laughter. "The Box Ghost did this to you?"

"It's not that bad," Danny rolled his eyes. "Stop being so dramatic."

"Well, at least it's a good look for tonight's conference," Tucker smirked.

"Ugh, don't remind me," Danny grimaced.

"Hey," Paulina's attention was snapped away from them to her side, where Star had softly kicked her foot. "Stop staring, babe."

Paulina glared at her and directed her attention to the front of the class, looking at Lancer without really seeing him. She got lost in thought, not caring about whatever Lancer was blabbing about.

For the first time in her life, Paulina felt jealous. She was jealous of Danny's life, how he was always under the spotlight, how everyone instantly tended to him and cared about him and all the attention he was still receiving even after all these months since the Disasteroid.

No, scratch that. She didn't envy Danny's life because it wasn't Danny's life she wanted. She didn't want to be Danny; she wanted to be with Danny.

She scoffed and rolled her eyes at herself and wondered how the tables have turned.

She wanted the Goth freak's life.

Sam decided a walk would do her good.

She'd been sitting on her bed for the past two hours, not able to still her thoughts and focus on her homework. Taking AP Biology proved to be a very big mistake, since it was time-consuming and Sam wasn't even spending time on it yet. So after not being able to force all of the names of the cardiovascular diseases she needed to know – was it cardio-something infarction or atherosclerosis that had something to do with the coronary artery? – she decided she was tired of lying in her room all day, got up, put on her boots, grabbed her jacket, and went out.

During this time of night, the air was calm and still. It was that time during the year in March where spring was rolling in, so that the weather wasn't too hot or too cold.

Subconsciously Sam found herself in front of city hall, where she thought Tucker was probably holed into some office in there doing some of his mayor duties. Looking ahead, she saw the Danny Phantom statue. The moon illuminated it, and Danny stood tall and proud, carrying the world in his hands. Whoever designed the statue had even captured the determined never-back-down look in Danny's eyes.

Sam smiled to herself and wished Danny was here with her. She sighed, and then sat down on the base of the statue, resting her back on Danny's feet.

She tried not to wonder about what Danny was doing, instead focusing on the blinding camera lights and the annoying, too-personal questions the press was probably asking. She tried not to think about all the pretty girls who were probably there, adoration lacing their features as they daydreamed about Danny in their arms.

Sam didn't know what the hardest part about his fame was, and she wasn't up to thinking about every single one of them and determining which was worse. She knew she was in a bad state, and figured she was just probably PMS-ing, but she couldn't help the words she'd accidentally blurted out. "I wish I had a boring life where I didn't have to worry about my boyfriend being charmed by another girl. She'll probably be European." She sighed, realizing she was about to ramble out loud, which would only make her look crazy – well, crazier than she already was, sitting at the base of a statue. "I wish I had a life like Paulina's pathetic one."

Unbeknownst to her, said pathetic girl was sitting on the other end of the statue, staring off into the night, her hair ruffled by a slight breeze in the air. She had reached her lowest point that night, eating a bar of chocolate even though she was supposed to be on a diet. She shook her head at the pathetic life she know had, and said, "I wish I had Sam's life. She must be happy. Perfect boyfriend. Perfect life. Perfect everything."

At the last word, she flung the chocolate wrapper into the air. The wind carried it, circling all the way to the other end of the statue until it hit Sam's face.

Sam shot up, accidentally banging her head on Danny's leg, reaching for the wrapper on her face. She got off the base and stared at the chocolate wrapper as it ruffled between her fingers. "What the hell?"

She heard a shuffling behind her and turned to see who other than a stunned Paulina staring at her. Paulina instantly hid whatever pathetic expression had been on her face and glared at her. "What the hell are you doing here?"

"I could ask you the same thing," Sam let the wrapper fly with the wind, noticing the small chocolate stain on Paulina's lower lip.

"Please," Paulina folded her arms across her chest and sneered at her. "Like I have anything to say to you."

Sam rolled her eyes. "Whatever."

"Yeah. Whatever, loser," the two girls turned their backs on each other and walked away.

Sam hated Paulina and hated herself even more so for ever wishing to have a life like her's. Paulina was nothing but a stupid bully and Sam couldn't believe she ever thought her life was something worth wishing for.

Paulina stalked away from the Danny Phantom statue and from his loser girlfriend, cursing at herself. How could she even let herself for one second want something like that freak's life? Sure, Danny Phantom was her boyfriend, but that was nothing Paulina couldn't fix. She couldn't believe she actually uttered the words out loud that she wanted what Sam had.

If only the girls would've come to that realization sooner…

Up on the Earth carried by Danny's hand, a figure appeared out of thin air, a grin on her face.

"Oh," Desiree grinned. "This is going to be a fun one."

"So you have wished it, so it shall be."

A/N: Ha ha ha ha this IS going to be fun xD. I can't wait to see where I go with this...
