Hey guys, back with another chapter! I think this part would have a little part with just Gwen and Stretch. As much as I want to reveal Gwen's secret, it would have to wait 'cause it would kind of ruin the whole thing if I did it too early. But I'm probably gonna give some clues. I'd also like to thank BJlover for the review and if you guys have any plot ideas, I'm open for suggestions. Just PM me.

Disclaimer: I don't own Casper or its characters except the OCs.

Just tell them, maybe they can help you... Gwen thought nervously. She sighed.

"Gwen, you okay?" Kat asked.

"Yeah, what do you want to tell us?" Casper added. Gwen shifted nervously. Should she?

"Well, you see, I'm a..."

"Hey short sheet! Where's dinner? We're starvin' ova here!" an all too familiar bostonian accent was heard. Part of Gwen was thankful for the interruption, but a bigger part of her was furious for it.

Damn it Stretch...

"Yeah, bulbhead! I'm wasting the weight here!" Fatso added, then the three's cackling could be heard.

"I'll tell you guys another time. We have to get down there before your uncles blow a gasket."

Everyone sat at the dinner table. Dr. Harvey was reading a newspaper, Kat and Casper were talking, and the Trio were devouring their food. Gwen looked down on her plate and let a look of disgust pass as she stared at the food. To her, it smelled horrid, and probably tasteless.

How in the world can humans stand this!

"Something wrong Gwen?" Dr. Harvey asked. Gwen looked up, startled.

"Yeah, I'm really not that hungry. No offence Casper"

"None taken"

The Trio, who habe finally finished scarfing their food, stared at her curiously. She shifted under their gazes, but it was getting uncomfortable. She finally snapped a glare in their direction.

"Don't you guys have anything better to do, or anything else to look at?" she growled. The Trio grinned at her in return.

"Nah, we like da view here much better" Stretch said, waggling his eyebrows suggestively as her looked her up and down. The three laughed as Gwen growled a bit louder. Then she felt it. Her insides were churning; she could practically feel the burn. She didn't know why, but her temper was starting to get the best of her, and she was much more moodier than usual. Her control was beginning to break piece by piece, and she couldn't stop it. She slowly glanced at her uncle.

SNAP!

Then she turned to Kat.

SNAP!

Then her biggest mistake, she inhaled for a brief moment.

SNAP!

She clenched her fists and shut her eyes tightly, hoping that she would be able to regain control. Her insides were still battling, pain washed through her.

"Gwen?" her eyes snapped open and she turned to face her uncle, her eyes now having a bright shade of red that was dominating over her emerald green shade. Her uncle gasped.

"sweetheart, what's wrong with your eyes?" her eyes widened a bit and her body tensed as everyone came closer to get a better look. Her eyes indeed had a crimson hue to them. Her fists tightened as she tried to regain control as her instincts kicked in, it was only a matter of time. Dr. Harvey placed a hand on her shoulder as if to try and calm her, but she flinched and moved away. Everyone at the table was silent now, and were all staring at her with bewildered and curious expressions. Gwen abruptly stood from her seat, she had to get away before she lost it.

"Excuse me" she said and with that, she was gone just as they blinked. They all stared at where she was seconds ago.

How can anyone move that fast?

Kat was the first to come out of her shock. "What just happened?"

Gwen cursed rather loudly at her stupidity. Way to make it more obvious! she thought sarcastically. Her fists were still balled up at her sides and her eyes were now a full shade of scarlet. She growled in anger, it was a full, animalistic growl. Before she knew it, her fist had made contact with the tree next to her, leaving a rather large hole where she had hit it. She took a look at her hand, it was in perfect condition, not a bruise, scratch in sight, her bones perfectly stable. She sighed and hopped onto a tree next to the one she hit and sat quietly on its branches. She had come outside to get some fresh air, and if possible, regain control of herself. Andshe had, for the mean time at least. She gazed up the sky, where the stars and the moon looked back at her. Why did they have to leave me to deal with this alone? Gwen closed her eyes. She would have cried if she could. She was risking her family's safety. She had no problem with ghosts, seeing as they weren't exactly human, but every time they trigger her temper, it could be a risk. She didn't know why she almost lost it just moments ago, but she was going to do something about it.

"Say skin bag, why ain't you sleepin' yet? And what da hell happened at dinner?" she knew that voice.

"None of your business, Stretch" The said ghost floated to her side at sat - or hovered next to her on the branch. Gwen glanced at him before looking back up the sky.

"You know, dere's sometin' not normal bout you" Gwen turned to the tall ghost and gave him a half genuine, half mock smile.

"Really? What was your first clue, the glowing red eyes or my vanishing trick?" she asked sarcastically. Stretch smirked.

"Ya know, ya ain't like other fleshies" Gwen cocked an eyebrow.

"How so?"

"Well, fa one, no fleshie can run dat fast." Gwen stayed silent.

"And da fact dat your eyes change color. Your eyes look better when der green" Gwen looked up at him in surprise.

"Uh, t-thanks" She moved her head to look away, but Stretch placed a finger on her chin, making her look at him. He scanned her face until his gaze landed on her eyes. He stared at them for a moment, mezmerized by her gaze. Without thinking, he began to lean in. His lips only inches from hers when he stopped short. He looked closely into her eyes, watching as they began to lose their crimson shade, revealing her once emerald green orbs.

"Whoa" Gwen blinked and pulled away.

"What?"

"Not'in" The young girl stared at him for a moment before sighing and looking away.

"I better get to bed then" With that, she hopped off the tree, landing gracefully on her feet. She looked back up at the branch to see that Stretch hasn't moved an inch.

"Goodnight Stretch, and thanks" The ghost just watched as she ran back to the house.

So what did you guys think of the Stretch and Gwen moment? I know it wasn't much but I'm trying. Also I noticed that Stretch was kind of OOC in this part so I'll try mybest to make him more in character next time. Anyways, please review!
