The bright rays from the Sun poured through my blinds and woke me up, just in time, so I could get ready for school. I got out of bed, and started to get ready for school. 25 minutes later I was in a pair of blue jeans, and a red and black shirt with stripes. I grabbed my backpack, and walked downstairs to eat breakfast. I saw my dad sitting at the table reading the newspaper as he ate some toast with grape jam.

"You're up early," Dad said after he took another bite out of his toast. Well of course I'm up; who can sleep with bright light pouring into their bedroom?

"The Sun woke me up." I replied casually as I sat at the table.

We had toast and scrambled eggs on the table. My mom had left for work already, so it was just my dad and I. I went to the refrigerator, and poured myself some orange juice to drink. Just as I was about to sit, the phone rang.

"I got it." I said to my dad who was about to get out of his chair.

"Hello," I greeted the unknown caller.

"Hey, it's Sam," Sam said with a light sigh, "I was just wondering if you could come to my house instead of Danny's afterschool."

"No problem," I said cheerfully. Sweet, she has the biggest house ever.

"Great," Sam said with a happier voice, "I'll see you later then."

"Okay then," I started," I'll see you afterschool."

I hung up the phone, and walked back to the kitchen. I sat back down, and ate my breakfast. When I was finished, I put my plate in the sink.

"Are you ready to go?" Dad asked me as he looked at the time.

"Give me a minute," I said as I put my shoes on.

"Now," I said as I tied my shoes," I am ready to go."

I put my backpack on, and we left. We got to my school, and as I was about to walk away Dad stopped me.

"You never told me who was on the phone," Dad said with a curious look in his eyes," Who was it?"

"It was Sam," I started as I watched kids walk past me," She was just telling me to go to her house instead of Danny's."

"Okay then," Dad said," Have a nice day at school."

I was on my way to Sam's house when I saw Danny fighting Skulker.

"Stay still Whelp," Skulker hissed while he fired some nets," I want your pelt on my wall."

"That's gross," Danny said just to annoy him as he dodged all of the nets," How many times have we gone over that?"

Danny shot some ice from his hands, but Skulker managed to dodge most of them. The shard of ice that he didn't dodge punctured his suit, and caused his weapons to malfunction. Danny sucked him up into the thermos when he was distracted with his suit.

"See you later Skulker." Danny said as he sucked Skulker up.

I continued walking after that, and 20 minutes later I was at Sam's house… or better yet, mansion. I was in awe as I looked at the giant structure before me. Its beauty captivated me, and left me baffled at how beautifully a house could be built. I walked up the stairs, and rang the door. I was greeted by Sam's butler, James.

"Hello James," I said as I walked inside the beautiful mansion.

"Samantha is expecting you, Miss Smith." James said in his usual monotone voice.

I walked up the spiraling staircase that led to Sam's room. When I reached the top; I looked around for Sam's room. I found it, and walked inside because the door was already open. I found Sam sitting on her bed cross legged. Her room was all black and purple: black walls, a dark purple rug, a black dresser, and random spots of purple on anything else in her room.

"Hello Sam," I said as I entered her room.

"Hi Taylor," Sam said as I set my backpack down on her floor, "Are you ready to start asking me questions?"

"Yes," I answered as I got out the list of questions that I had written in my free time.

"Okay, you can start asking me now." Sam said as she changed her position on her bed to Indian style, with her legs crossed.

"Who are you?" I asked.

"I am a teen, goth, girlfriend, friend, ultra-recyclo vegetarian, wealthy heiress, and individualist." Sam said with a smile, satisfied with her answer.

"How did you and Danny meet each other?" I asked Sam with my pencil in hand awaiting the answer.

"We met each other on the first day in kindergarten," Sam started, "I was alone during playtime because everyone thought I was weird, but then Danny asked if I would play with him and I said yes."

"What were you like when you were younger?" I inquired.

"I wore dark colors unlike the usual bright pinks and blues, I liked flowers and plants to the extreme while others would just stomp on flowers, and I wanted to be different from everyone else." Sam said as she thought back to that day.

"How did Danny make you feel that day you guys first met?" I asked as I moved my notepad to my other leg.

"He made me feel happy and included. He was nice and talked to me about things that I liked; he made me feel normal in a way." Sam said with a slight blush on her face.

"How did you and Tucker meet each other?" I asked with a chuckle as Sam let out a small groan as I finished my question.

"I met Tucker the day after I met Danny because Tucker had gotten sick. He was still a little sick because when he was sitting behind me during story time, he threw up his whole lunch on me. The smell was stuck in my hair for a whole week, and his lunch had been 2 hamburgers and garlic fries; he had an enormous appetite even as a 5 year old." Sam said with a frown and disgusted look on her face, while I was flat out laughing at her.

"It's not funny, you try having that smell in your hair for a week." Sam said as a response to my laughter at her misfortune as a child.

"What is your relationship with Tucker now?" I asked in between breaths from my lack of oxygen because of my previous laughter.

"My relationship with Tucker is good. He has the role of an annoying brother who looks out for you. We fight and argue, but at the end of the day we still care for each other. Sam said with a straight face.

"My parents said I couldn't leave the house today because ' I'm never home.' Sam said with annoyance clearly painted on her face.

"Oh," I said unsure of how to answer, "How would you describe yourself now?"

"I would describe myself as athletic, caring, and stubborn. I am my own person, and I will do what I think is the best thing to do even if others disagree." Sam answered

"How do these characteristics affect your life?" I asked as I looked down at my paper.

"They affect me in different ways. Sometimes positively, sometimes negatively; it depends on the situation. If I'm stubborn during a ghost attack, it could drag it on longer than it has to be. If it's an argument with Tucker, I could win the argument and get the last word. I care for plants and animals a lot, so I'm an ultra- recyclo vegetarian to show my love for animals." Sam replied casually.

"Do you ever wish you were more in touch with your feminine side." I asked Sam who was waiting for the next question.

"I think I'm in touch with my feminine side enough. I'd rather be like this, then to be all girly and fake." Sam answered with a small smile.

"Do you think your feminine side gets in the way during ghost attacks?" I asked as I wrote down the question on my notepad.

"I think my feminine side gets in ghost attacks, but it rarely ever happens. I feel worried about Danny when he's fighting a tough ghost, and I get upset when Danny tells me to stay to the side so I don't get hurt. Other than that, it doesn't get in the way. Sam said.

"If you weren't goth or vegetarian, how different would you be mentally and physically?

"I think I would have a mindset somewhere between Jazz and Valerie. I would still most likely be athletic even if I wasn't vegetarian." Sam explained her reasoning for the question.

"What would you see yourself dressed as?" I questioned her as I stretched my legs out.

"I would probably dress in jeans or skirts, and my shirts would probably be blue, red, purple, and other dark colors with some patterns." Sam revealed the interesting information to me.

"Would you wear make up?" I asked Sam.

"I would probably wear light make up like some mascara and a little bit of eyeliner. I don't think I would wear to much make up." Sam answered while she thought about it carefully.

"Have there ever been times when you felt useless to the team?" I asked unsure of her answer to this question, knowing the answer could be more of an angry rant.

"Of course," Sam started off with an angered tone, "I feel as if Danny thinks I'm too weak when he asks me to stay to the side. Other times when I get hurt, and I can't push myself further; it makes me feel useless as I watch the others fight while I'm off to the side.

"Do you find yourself a key member in the team? What do you think you help the team with the most in ghost attacks?"

"I find myself as a key member who does my best to support the team. I think I'm the best at fighting after Danny, and I can come up with good strategies and distractions for the stronger ghosts. I think I keep the team in check when anyone is ever in doubt of themselves." Sam said with a serious tone in her voice.

"How different would your life be if you were a Halfa?" I inquired Sam knowing the obvious answer.

"My life wouldn't be too different; I would fight more ghosts, so Danny could have a break every now and then. I don't think anything else would change; there's the possibility of Danny letting me fight without him worrying about me, even though I doubt that." Sam answered.

"Do you think Danny would let you take over fighting ghosts if you ever became a Halfa?" I asked.

"I'm not sure if he would let me fight all of them; he would probably let me fight the weaker ones because he is very protective of me."

"Have you ever thought of going into the portal to try and turn yourself into a Halfa." I questioned Sam as she looked surprised at this question.

"I have never thought about going into the ghost portal because I think it would have happened to me if it was supposed to happen." Sam exclaimed.

"How do you think Danny would react if you ever turned yourself into a Halfa?" I asked Sam.

"He would probably be upset for me making myself a target for the ghosts. He would blame himself for feeling too weak for me having to feel the need to turn into a Halfa, so I could help him." Sam said.

"You and Danny seem really close in your relationship. Do you have any plans for the future?" I asked.

"We are really close in our relationship. I think we'll wait to see what the future has in store for us for our future together." Sam said with a blush coming into her cheeks.

"What are some things you wish Danny wouldn't do?"

"I wish Danny wouldn't blame himself when people get hurt. He can't protect people from everything, but he tries to. I wish he would take a break because he hardly pays attention to himself. He also lies about how many ghosts that attack; he had fought 12 ghosts in one night, but tried to pass it off as Skulker." Sam said with a worried tone in her voice.

"How does this make you feel?" I asked.

"It makes me feel worried and upset, but I know he does it to protect people so I don't get quite as upset." Sam answered.

"How do you feel now that Danny has finally showed his feelings to you?" I questioned Sam.

"I feel relieved because now I don't have to hide my feelings away from him." Sam said with a sigh of relief.

"For a goth, you seem really upbeat. Do you think that's because of your parents' influence on your life?" I asked Sam while thinking of this question myself.

"I don't think my parents have had too much of an influence on my life. I think I'm more upbeat for a goth because it's better to live life to the fullest, and to be as positive as you can be because you wouldn't be able to do much if you're always pessimistic." Sam said with a grin.

"If you ever changed something in your appearance, what would it be?" I questioned Sam wondering if she would ever be something other than a goth.

"I think I would wear black skinny jeans with my usual combat boots instead of the usual skirt. I would also grow my hair out a little past my shoulders. I'm fine with who I am, so there isn't anything that I would really change besides that." Sam answered.

"What are your favorite types of characters in movies?" I asked.

My favorite characters are the brave heroines that the other characters doubt or don't like." Sam said.

"That was the last question," I said as I closed my notepad, "What time is it?"

"It's 5:00," Sam said as she looked at her bat shaped clock.

"I guess I'll be leaving soon." I replied.

The temperature in the room dropped a couple degrees, and we knew Danny had come inside. We waited for him to appear.

"Hey Sam," Danny said as he turned visible, "I just wanted drop by to help you with your questions."

"We're already done, and you don't have to be so nosy." Sam said with a laugh.

"Oh well," Danny exclaimed, "How's it going Taylor?"

"Fine," I answered.

Danny sat on Sam's bed next to her, and took out a little box for her. The box contained something with food because there was a sweet aroma escaping from the confinement of the box. Danny gave Sam the box, and she opened it. There was her favorite vegan yogurt with little bat gummies on it.

"You remembered the little bats." Sam said with a smile as she kissed Danny on the cheek.

"Of course I did," Danny said as his cheeks reddened from the kiss.

"Thank you," Sam said.

"You're welcome," Danny said as he got up from the bed.

"Do you want a lift home?" Danny asked as he turned to me.

"Okay," I said as I got up, and put my backpack on.

"Bye Sam," Danny and I said to Sam in unison.

"Bye Taylor and Danny," Sam said.

I grabbed Danny's hand, and we flew over Amity. The wind blew through my hair, and I felt as if I could touch the clouds. The buildings looked like dollhouses from the great height we were at. We arrived at my house after a couple of minutes, and said good bye to each other. I walked into my house, and saw Mom and Dad at the table.

"Taylor, you're home just in time for dinner." Mom said happily.

I ate dinner, put my plate in the sink, and went up to my room. I got ready for bed, and got everything ready for the next day. I remembered that I had to call Jazz to confirm the time we were going to meet. I quickly wrote down questions for both Jazz and Tucker, so I could be prepared to ask them their questions. I went downstairs, so I could call Jazz.

"Hello," I asked as someone picked up the phone.

"Taylor, is that you?" Jazz asked.

"Yes," I replied, "Is it okay if I go to your house afterschool, so I can ask Tucker and yourself some questions for the report?"

"Okay," Jazz answered, "We'll be here."

"Okay," I said, "I'll see you tomorrow then.

"Bye," Jazz said.

I said good night to my parents, and went up to my room. I picked up some clothes that were strewn all over my floor from the morning. I put them in their appropriate places. After, I went into my bed. I slowly started to fall asleep until my eyes shut, and took me to my dreams. 'I have one day left for this assignment.'
