And now, we move on...


Paulina groaned as she tried to open her eyes, groaning.

"G-ghost b- I mean, Danny? Are you there? Danny?"

Paulina blinked a couple of times as she looked around. Where the park and the surrounding trees once stood was now a black space with only a pink road that seemed to lead nowhere. The rich halfa girl looked around in amazement as she started to look around, but one wrong step off the road, she yelped as she almost fell off. She only felt relief as she felt a hand grabbing her by the waist. She then felt herself being pulled up as Paulina turned to see Danny sighing in relief.

"Thought you could try to wander off the path, did you?" Danny chuckled.

"Danny... where are we?" Paulina asked.

"In the deep recesses of our minds. I had to connect my mind to yours in order to communicate to you. So, right now, our bodies are sitting somewhere in the park relaxing, but you and I, our conscious forms, are here, communicating with each other as we speak." Danny explained.

"Is... is this a ghost half thing?" Paulina asked in curiosity.

"It could be. I spent some training with Frostbite at one time and he suggested this technique to me at one point." Danny explained.

"Who?" Paulina raised an eyebrow.

Danny paused as he slapped his forehead. "Oh yeah, you could say that he was a sort of teacher in terms of how I can manage to hone my ice powers."

Paulina nodded a bit in understanding, before asking, "Did he teach you how to control your emotions as well?"

"Sort of. But not the beginning part, not where my clothes would fall off whenever I start to experience a type of emotion, that was just something I had to self-teach myself. At least with me as your teacher, I can help you in learning so that you won't embarrass yourself when the next school day comes. At least you manage to control it well today, but you never know what'll happen." Danny said. "Anyway, the first thing we need to teach you is that every power you need to control is based on how you feel. But you need to learn to harness those powers into one emotion. So, I want you to change into your ghost form here."

Paulina gave a quick nod as she closed her eyes, going ghost from within. Her black jumpsuit with the P like symbol, the white hair, the green eyes, and white heel-like boots appeared as she looked over at herself. "Hmmm... not bad, I suppose. But you know, I don't think black is my color. I really wish that my jumpsuit was a little more pink."

"Well, I'm afraid black's just going to have to be your color." Danny sighed. "Unless there's a power on changing the color of your jumpsuit that I don't know about, I'm afraid you're out of luck."

"Oh, poo." Paulina pouted... then shrugged. "Oh well..."

As Danny changed into his ghost form, he turned his legs into more of a wispy form as he floated over to Paulina. "Let's start with something simple... floating from one place to another. Try to imagine that your legs aren't there..."

Paulina paused as she started to float, and her legs disappeared slowly, a wisp of smoke replacing it as Danny smiled, "Now you're catching on. Now, let's get a little rhythm going."

Paulina nodded as she followed Danny around, trying to follow his lead as she smiled a little bit. She couldn't believe it. The boy that she had a crush on... who also happened to be the boy that she had previously disliked... was actually helping her out. Maybe Desiree was right in saying that Danny was a good teacher...

After a few minutes, Paulina seemed satisfied as she seemed to move naturally around in her ghost form in her mind. Danny smiled as he watched Paulina smiling, floating around as she giggled. "I really like this, Danny!"

"I figured you would. Now, you know the ghost sense and punching helps too. Now, let's unfocus... wake ourselves up." Danny suggested.

"How do we do that?" Paulina asked.

"Just take a deep breath and try to think... form consciousness with your mind again." Danny said.

"Okay... I'll try." Paulina said as she floated down towards the pink road and closed her eyes as she took a few deep breaths as she slowly floated down to the bottom, slowly. Danny followed closely behind.


Paulina blinked her eyes as she opened them, noticing that she was back to her own world. She looked around and noticed a pair of arms around her waist. She looked over to see Danny holding her as she started to blush a bit. Danny soon fluttered his eyes opened as he sighed. He then realized his arms were still around the rich Cuban girl's as he retracted them back, blushing nervously. "Er, sorry. I kinda forgot what position we were in."

"Oh no, that's all right, Danny. Honestly, it kind of warms me up inside, because I know I'm safe with you." Paulina smiled.

Danny blushed a bit as he smiled towards the girl. "I guess we might as well move on to the next lesson. We'll need some..."

Danny stopped speaking as he noticed his phone's blinking light. His eyes widened as he picked up the phone. "What the-"

He pushed the phone's button as he noticed his phone had ten messages on there. "Uh-oh... Sam and Tucker. I think they're worried about me."

"Gee, I hope this isn't my fault..." Paulina said in worry.

"No, it's not your fault. If anything, it's mine..." Danny said as he pushed the button to listen to the messages.

Message One had Sam's voice. "Danny, we got the ghost supplies and we just spotted Ember leaving the Ghost Zone! We're currently tailing her now. She's not doing anything yet, but we'll let you know. Call back and talk to us."

Message Two had Sam's voice again. "Danny, I just saw Ember using her guitar to hypnotize some teenage fans. We're starting to get worried that there's another attack. We're at the music store outside. Hurry and get over there!"

Message Three had Sam's voice talking again. "Er, Danny, it's been at least ten minutes, and you're still not here yet. Pick up your phone! Ember is using her 'fans' to rob a music store! Hurry!"

Message Four had Sam's voice talking again, this time in panic. "Danny, Ember just NOTICED the van! She's coming this way! Why aren't you picking up?!"

Message Five had Sam's panicking voice, "Danny, come on, there's a big explosion of music notes being sent out, surely you've heard the noises by now! DANNY!"

Message Six was Tucker's voice this time, saying, "Hey, dude, listen, I managed to escape the van with Sam's phone, and Sam seems to be holding off Ember pretty well, but I'm not sure how much longer we can hold on. Can you please come over here? I'm not mad or anything, but I think Sam is..."

Message Seven had Tucker's voice, sighing, "Er, yeah, never mind, Danny. We got Ember. There's a little bit of smoke where the van once was, but Sam managed to snag a mirror and reflected Ember's beams back on her, hypnotizing herself. It's actually fun, we told her to wear a frilly dress and walk back home to the Ghost Zone! Hilarious! Anyway, I better hand this back to Sam."

Message Eight had Tucker's voice, chuckling nervously. "Er, sorry, I accidentally hung up the phone. Okay, here's Sam."

Then, Sam's angry voice called out in a rage, "You better have a good excuse for not showing up when we need you the most, or I swear I will castrate you!"

Message Nine then had Sam's voice, looking like she was apologetic. "Er, yeah, that castration threat was a bit harsh. Sorry, I wouldn't go that far. I would, however, put you in the Thermos and electrocute it to make sure your stupid lazy form doesn't see the light of da- AGGH!"

The final message had Tucker's worried voice saying, "Hi, Danny. Er, Sam walked into an open manhole, not paying attention and she's... well, let's just say, stay away from her for a while. She's peeved. I don't think she'll be joining us for the Nasty Burger day today. Look, dude, I'm really concerned about you. Can we meet up at Nasty Burger. If you're not there at five... well, I don't know what I'll do, but... you're my best friend, dude. If something's the matter, just tell me!"

"Oh no..." Danny groaned as he looked at his watch. Quarter to five. "I guess I could still make it if..."

Danny then turned to Paulina as he said, "I'm... I'm sorry, Paulina, but can we continue this same time tomorrow?"

"Of course, Danny. Go to your friend. He seems he really wants to talk." Paulina said.

Danny nodded as he started to go ghost. "Will you be okay going home?"

"Don't worry, Danny. I have a ride." Paulina nodded. "Now, go to your friend."

Danny smiled as he started to fly off into the sky. The rich girl nodded as she pulled out the perfume bottle that Desiree was kept in as she rubbed it. Desiree popped out as she gave a giggle. "So, little Paulina... how was your first day of training?"

Paulina paused... as she smiled. "You know... I much rather enjoy that..."

Desiree giggled as Paulina then said, "Okay, Desiree, I wish you would take me back to the Sanchez home."

"So you wish it, so shall it be." Desiree said as she and Paulina disappeared in a cloud of smoke.


And with that, the first day of Danny and Paulina is complete! Next time, Danny and Tucker have a conversation, with Paulina wondering if she could help Desiree stay close at all times without worrying about her ghost form tipping off anyone. Tune in next time!
