Snapcat: Finally someone who understands. Everyone else that I've talked to always can do Danny's part so well and I...I feel like every time I portray him, it turns out horrible. I guess I can't get into the head of a hero. Thanks for sympathizing!

Malonami: Paulina just adds to the plot, so that's why I'm including her and a few other characters other.

And just so you know, Paulina is much better in this story than she is in The Elevator Gang series. And I honestly think she's more in character in this story than that one.

I had a pretty good idea for this story the other day that you'll find out about in this chapter, so enough chatter, and enjoy!

Chapter Four
Paulina:
Part One

I'm letting go of all I've held onto

"Paulina! Phone call!"

I flopped on my bed on my stomach, reaching towards the phone on my beside table. "Gracias mama!" I called out. I held the phone up to my ear. "Hello?"

"Hey Paulina."

"Hi…." I said, trying to think of where I'd heard that voice before.

"This is Valerie." Okay, never mind.

"Oh…hi…" I said again awkwardly. What would Valerie Gray be calling my house for? I hadn't spoken to her in a while and I hadn't really cared to.

"Can I ask you a favor?" she asked.

"What is it?" I wedged the phone between my ear and shoulder so that I could finish painting my fingernails pink.

"If you were trying to pair the perfect couple up, what would you do?"

I loved these types of questions. Maybe she wasn't so weird after all. I thought a moment, humming to myself. "I would….hmm…"

"Like a blind date or something?" she asked.

"Hang on," I said. "No…well, it depends on how long you've been trying to get them together."

"What do you mean?"

"If you just tell them to go here and here on this "special" date, they'll figure out something is up. But if you do little things first, then they won't know what hit them."

"Exactly. That's what I want," she said. "So….what would you suggest?"

"Is this mystery couple from our school?" I asked. Whoever this couple was, I was half interested, half not. Knowing the things Valerie was doing lately and people she hung out with, I wasn't sure if they were someone cool or not.

"Yes," she said.

"Why don't you just get them together at the Spring Fling?"

"Spring Fling?"

"The dance this upcoming Friday?" I asked, feeling my eyes widen. "Remember? Donna Tonam, the Student Council President is throwing it for all the high school students."

"I didn't know about that."

"It's a really cool dance I heard. Last year--"

"And when is this?"

I checked my calendar just in case. "Friday at seven. I'm going to ask Donna if I can help decorate after school in the gym. That would be really fun."

"Do you think they will need anymore help?"

"With what?"

"Decorations," she replied.

"Oh, probably, but you'd have to talk to Donna. She said she only wanted a few boys, but responsible ones."

"I have just the dynamic duo."

"Is this the mysterious couple you're trying to hook up?" It didn't take an honor roll student to figure out that Val had something up her sleeve.

"Who is it?"

I had to know. On the contrary, I didn't want to. But my curiosity had reached the limit. I had to know what she was plotting.

"I…"

"Oh, come on, amiga, you can tell me," I told her, smiling.

"I'm trying to get Danny Fenton and Sam Manson together," she finally said.

I thought about this for a moment. "I thought they were already together."

"No," she said. "But that's what I'm hoping this thing will turn out."

"So why are you helping them? They're just a bunch of losers," I said, blowing on my fingernails. I sat up straighter.

"Don't say that."

"Whatever," I said. "So why are you helping them?"

"Because I'm just….I'm just playing matchmaker I guess. Can you help me or not?"

"Help you with what?"

Valerie sighed and I wondered if she was watching some tv show or something and barely paying any attention to me. That was honestly rude.

"Besides the dance, what would you suggest?"

"Well, you have a few days before the dance. I would say, go on a double date or something--" I heard her mutter something in the background, but I chose to ignore her. "—but then, go on a different double date. The first time, make them go together, and then the next time, do a surprise thing and have someone that will drive them nuts be there so that they'll end up with each other."

"I wonder who would drive Sam and Danny nuts."

I could tell she was sarcastic but I rolled my eyes. "But ask them all kinds of questions, like, have a magazine up and take some of those perfect match quizzes. Show them how compatible they are with each other by just doing random things. Then, after a few of those tests, take them away from each other for an entire day and see if they miss each other or how much they talk about each other. Just little stuff…"

"Wow…you really do surprise me sometimes Paulina," she said.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"Because for once, you're actually helping. But I have one more favor to ask," she said.

"What?" I hadn't realized that this could backfire on me. I had told her all of those things to do without thinking that she could use it against me.

"Could you…stay away from Danny for a while?"

I actually laughed. "Duh. I try to avoid him as much as possible. Him and his little girlfriend."

"Soon to be girlfriend," she corrected.

"Whatever."

"And Paulina?"

"Yes?" I asked, wondering what she could want now.

"Don't tell anyone about this. If word gets out, the whole plan is ruined. Got it."

"Yeah."

"Paulina, I'm serious. No gossip whatsoever."

"Okay, okay. I get it. No problem."

"But…thanks."

"Uh huh."

"Bye."

"Adios!" I called. I pressed the off button and it beeped. I set it back down on the range and laid back on my bed.

I had no problem staying away from Danny Fenton. He hadn't ever interested me in the first place, even though I loved to tease him sometimes. Besides, I had more important men on my mind….like the completely gorgeous Danny Phantom.


In a really weird way, that's actually pretty funny. So now Paulina's still chasing after Danny Phantom and not the other way around, even though it's the same thing. And now…what will Valerie do now that she has all that stuff to put Danny and Sam through? Ha ha, find out soon, but not yet.

Because, now, as you've all reminded me in The Elevator Game series, you all love this next point of view, so I hope you'll enjoy my interpretation! Please R&R!

Here's your sneak peek!

Chapter Five: Sam: Part One

"What Spring Formal?" Danny and I asked together. He glanced over at me and I looked away first, back to Valerie.

"It's this Friday. I completely forgot about it," she said. "But yeah, Donna Tonam's the head of decorations, along with Jazz," she said, nodding to Danny.

"Of course she is," Danny grumbled. "What isn't she part of in this school?"

"But she said she'd need all the help she could get. Including a few strong boys to lift the heavy things," she said, glancing between Tucker and Danny.

"And are Paulina and the other little prisses going to be there?" I asked. Go ahead and give me the chance to punch Paulina outside of school hours.

"Maybe," Valerie said. "But…surely, together, you'll work around her."

I was beginning to wonder why she had said, 'together' the way she had and I exchanged glances with Danny. His expression told me he'd caught the same thing. And right now, I had a feeling we both shared the same ideas.

Something….was going on.
