Wow. Only one review for the previous chapter…I'm disappointed…except for Authorgirl818. Thank you...I'll still continue this, but more reviews are appreciated.

Sam looked up. Here it was, the Amity Park Community Center. The exterior was decorated with fake spiders, skeletons, and strobe lights. There was a banner that read, "Second Annual Amity Park Costume Party and Contest…Enter if You Dare…"

Oh I dare…

Sam took one last look at her horrendous costume. She still couldn't believe she was going to this thing…in this.

There were several people walking into the building; none seemed to notice her as she hung back. Sam smiled as she saw a group of boys dressed as Danny Phantom walk inside.

Wanna-be's…

At last, Sam summoned up all of her courage and strolled inside.

The place was huge, but with all of the people in the place, it seemed smaller. And the smell!

Sam held her nose and looked around. Yep, it was a typical Halloween party: people dressed in lame costumes, not-so-special effects, the eyeballs in the punch and fake human head under the platter, and black and orange balloons.

Many of the decorations mocked gothic culture (a smiling gothic skeleton?) and there was a buffet of meat products on the long table.

Well this is just a great party, Sam thought sarcastically.

Sam turned around- hoping for some fresh air- only to bump into someone very familiar.

She wore a black top, and a black skirt. Sam looked at the girl's legs…purple leggings and black combat boots? This girl is dressed like me!

Sam thought she was mad before, but she was downright furious when she saw who it was…

………….line…………

…………break……...

"Danny? Are you coming?" Jazz called out from the bottom of the stairs.

Danny stayed in his room. "I'm coming Jazz! Just…go without me! I'll catch up!"

"Okay."

Danny heard the door slam and he sighed. He tried calling Sam- hoping that she'd let him come over for a horror movie night instead of going to the party- but she wasn't answering.

Tucker was probably already at the party, and now, Danny was alone. His mom was in the basement working on the usual- ghost hunting weapons- and Jack was nowhere to be found.

Even though he had a costume, Danny was still debating whether or not he should go. Maybe they should have gone with Tucker's first plan…trick-or-treating sounded a lot less stressful than some stupid party…

……….line break…again…………

"Paulina?!" Sam fumed. Why is she dressed like me?!

Paulina gave her a blank look. Behind the dark mascara and goth accessories, she was still the same, sour witch as before.

"Do I know you? I mean, you look familiar, but I'm not sure…"

Sam grinned. "No. We've never met."

If Paulina can't tell it's me, then maybe I'll just fake it all night…

"So, what's your name?"

"Oh, uh…" Sam thought of a name quickly. "Danielle. Danielle…Smith."

"I love your highlights. I wished I was a blonde," Paulina said wistfully without bothering to introduce herself. She went on to talking about her hair and skin.

Sam grimaced. I hate being blonde…I want my real hair back.

Sam's mom had cut no corners when it came to Sam's costume; therefore, Sam had gotten her hair dyed blonde; much to her extreme dismay.

Sam still couldn't believe she actually listened to her mom's advice, but she was just so convincing…and she wouldn't shut up about how much "that Fenton boy" would like her costume! Sam figured that her mom would stop if she went with her plan, but instead, her plan backfired and her mom was "helping" her even more.

"So, who are you dressed as?" Sam asked, although she already knew the answer.

Paulina rolled her eyes and scowled. "Ugh, this horrible Goth girl, Sam Manson. It's so not my style, but I figured it was only one stupid party. Anyways, don't talk to her, she's creepy," Paulina added.

Sam rolled her eyes. "I'll do my best," she said unnaturally sweetly.

"What are you dressed as?" Paulina asked, trying to keep Sam-er- Danielle talking longer.

"I'm…a cheerleader." Sam felt like vomiting.

Paulina frowned. "But you look like a cheerleader. You have the perfect body for it…well, of course, so do I…"

"Well, yeah, so?" Sam questioned innocently.

"The theme is total opposites."

"Oh. Well, I guess I didn't get the memo, 'cause I'm the realest cheerleader you'll ever meet!" Sam hated the peppiness she added to her voice; it did sound convincing, though.

Paulina's attention was no elsewhere. She ran over to someone near one of the fog-lights. Sam followed her to the corner; she didn't have anything else to do, why not follow her worst enemy around?

Sam saw the person who Paulina was hugging. It was a boy with black hair and a very familiar outfit…

"Danny?!" Sam couldn't believe it. Her best friend was hugging Paulina!

Paulina stopped hugging the boy and turned around. She gave Sam/Danielle and odd glance. "You mean that Fenton freak? This isn't him."

"Yes it is…" but after looking a little closer- those fog-lights were blinding- she saw that the boy was way too buff to be Danny…then he turned around.

Sam felt the vomit rising even higher in her throat now. "Dash?!"

"I mean…oh, is he your boyfriend?" Sam asked, feeling sicker by the minute.

Paulina smiled. "Yes…how do you know his name? Have you met?"

"Uh…no. My friend…who used to go to this school told me all about the students here. Lots of pictures."

Sam couldn't help but notice that Paulina and Dash- who were dressed like her and Danny- looked great together…

"Will there be anymore surprises tonight?" Sam asked sarcastically.

Just then, the P.A. system went on.

"Welcome everyone to Amity Park's Second Annual Halloween Party and Costume Contest…"

He went on to thank the sponsors, and Sam darted away from Paulina and Dash as fast as she could. While she liked the fact that they treated her kinder since they didn't know it was really her- she felt very lightheaded and had to get away.

"Now, I'd like to introduce you to this year's panel of judges…"

Some spotlights went on, and five people stood up. Everyone began cheering, so Sam looked to see what the commotion was.

Her jaw dropped.

There, since nobody seems to review when I don't leave a cliffie, I will leave you with this. If you don't want an update, then don't review. If you want a fast and speedy update, review! Is it too much to ask? ;)
