It had been several days since Tucker's impeachment as town mayor. He wasn't taking the loss that bad since it gave him more time to focus on his tinkerings. Plus, he had something of a girlfriend now that Star was clinging to him in the hopes of getting close to Danny.

Tucker was inside his room working on his latest project when the door opened behind him. He turned to see who came in and found Star. "Hello," Star said. "You said there was something you wanted to show me?"

"Yes there is," Tucker said as he began looking through his desk for something. A few seconds later, he found what he was looking for: the same taser that he had received when he became mayor so that he could protect himself. "I want you to have this."

"A taser," Star said out loud in surprise. "I've never been given one of these before."

"I'm about to build my own with plans I got off the internet, so I don't need this one anymore. I thought you might want it."

"Why build yourself a taser if you already have one?"

"To see if I can," Tucker explained. He then showed Star some of the electronic gizmos he had pieced together himself, like his virtual reality helmet. She was impressed with his technological prowess since all the other guys she had dated were idiots. So much so that she almost forgot about how she was using him. She was brought out of these thoughts when she remembered that they had an appointment they needed to get to.

"Come on, we have to go," Star said and then she and Tucker left.

With that out of the way, Tucker and Star made their ways to the Nasty Burger where they would meet up with Danny and Sam. After waiting a while, Danny and Sam arrived with Danny being followed by reporters (which was beginning to become an irritating custom). The four teenagers got their food and sat down at a booth. Danny then used his ice powers to create ice walls all around them, then put his finger next to the window of their booth and frosted it over.

"Don't you think that this is a little excessive?" Tucker asked.

"No I don't," Danny responded. "I feel that I can take whatever measures I want to get some privacy from those media vultures. Besides, I talked this over with the owner and he said it was okay."

"Maybe you could pull a Tupac and fake your own death to escape the public eye," Tucker suggested.

"Maybe," Danny said while rubbing his chin to think it over.

"That would probably help me out with my problem," Sam said.

"Problem?" Tucker asked while quirking an eyebrow in curiosity, then realized what she meant. "Oh, you mean the whole 'Paulina trying to get into your pants thing.'"

"Yeah. It's getting ridiculous. I can't believe she's taking this stupid scheme of hers this far."

"Scheme?" Star asked. "What scheme?"

"You know," Sam said. "She's trying to seduce me to lesbianism so she can then ditch me and have Danny all to herself," Sam explained, causing Star to let out a giggle at sam's misinterpretation. "What's so funny."

"That's not Paulina's plan at all," Star said. "Star genuinely wants to have lesbian sex with you. I have no idea why though. I mean, no offense but I just don't see whatever Paulina sees in you."

"I can buy that. Along with flying pigs and the tooth fairy!" Sam exclaimed sarcastically at the blonde. "For starters, why would a vapid socialite like Paulina throw all her popularity away by coming out of the closet? That's assuming she's really gay, which I doubt. And even if she is gay, why would she be attracted to someone she has ridiculed in the past like me?"

"First off," Star began, "it's the 21st century now: the only people who have problems with homosexuality are rednecks and religious nut jobs, and nobody cares what they think. So everyone's pretty cool with Paulina's new outlook on life. As for her wanting to have sex with you, you'd have to ask her about that one."

Star could tell that she had done a good job of convincing Sam that Paulina's attraction to her was not a houx. And she had a pretty good idea on how to go from there to making the goth consider some kind of relationship with the latina. You're so going to owe me for this Paulina, Star thought.

"It's probably just a phase she's going through," Star said. "In a few weeks, she'll be over it and back to her good old heterosexual self."

I never did like the old Paulina, Sam thought. The goth also thought over what Star had just told her and came to the conclusion that Paulina's lust was genuine. Sam decided that a she and her lesbian admirer needed to reach some kind of understanding.

While Sam was pondering these matters, the people around her began conversing. She vaguely recalled Danny mentioning something about him and Valerie reconciling and now going out again, but her mind was preoccupied with other things. About 20 minuets after they first got enclosed by Danny's ice walls, Sam said that she wanted to leave.

"How exactly do I do that?" She asked noticing that there was now exit from their enclosure. Danny helped her out by forming an ecto blast in his hand and blasting an exit for her. "Thank you," Sam said as she got up and left.
