Oh yeah! i'm doing so much better at this 'update more frequently' thing. A free kookie to whoever can translate this chapter's name into english! muahahahahaaaa!

Oh, since I know I'll forget. I'm tryin' out for my school's musical (GODSPELL! WOOT!) now, if for some crazy and possibly impossible way I get a good part, updates will probably be slowed down. they probably will because if i don't get a good part, I'm entering the chorus, which still meets twice a week. so, yeah, just so y'alls know. wish me luck!

Disclaimer: I don't own anything you recognize, 'cept Amy, cuz i'm awsome like that, i'm also hoping I own a great singing voice for next week...gulp

Edit: yeah, i noticed...well, okay, other people, have noticed a loophole in my story, which, being my sleep deprived self at 11 o'clock at night didn't notice. so, i'm fixing it, sorry if i got some of your peoples hopes up that i updated. just fixing a mistake...

Chapter 10: Bonne Année!

"Welcome! One and all, to the insane asylum that is Amy Kairi Johnson's house! Please, feel free to pig out on any food you find, and make a ginormous mess (as long as you are willing to help clean up). Also, feel free to make as big of a racquet as you please, because, tonight, on New Year's Eve, my parents have left to party elsewhere all night long! So, we're gonna do the exact same thing!"

Amy jumped off the table, bowing to her 3 friends, who were applauding.

Incase you didn't know, the 4 friends were currently spending New Year's at Amy's house. And, also incase you didn't pick up on the announcement (well, I don't know, you could be oblivious) they were currently at the house alone, seeing as Amy's parents decided to party elsewhere.

Amy walked over to a stereo system in her living room, the beginning of M.C.R's "House of Wolves" started up, very loudly, might I add. Amy started moshing to it with Sam, but Phantom and Tucker threw their hands over their ears, flinching. Phantom walked over and turned it down a bit, causing Sam and Amy to glare slightly.

"You're no fun!" Amy pouted, crossing her arms. Sam imitated her.

"Hey! If I wasn't any fun, Lily here wouldn't have had to kiss Phantom last week." Tucker retaliated.

Amy cracked up with Tucker, while Sam and Phantom blushed and looked in two different directions. While, true, Tucker had hung a mistletoe above the sofa before anyone arrived at their Christmas party, then sat in the opposite seat, forcing Sam and Phantom to sit right underneath the plant all Christmas Eve night/ Christmas morning, and he even succeeded in getting Sam to kiss Phantom (something that Tucker and Amy watched with much laughter). But, perhaps he shouldn't push it, seeing as Sam was looking for every way possible to get back at him, Phantom too.

Fortunately for Sam, she just had to wait for the right moment to get her revenge; she'd remain patient until then.

So, the party started, the food on the table was the first to be devoured. They ate all the candy and soda so fast; it looked like the food just vanished from the table. So, now they were full of sugar for the rest of the night (a scary thought I know).

Then Truth or Dare continued. Eventually, Sam ended up making a snow angel in the snow…wearing nothing but a black tank top she had on and a pair of short-shorts (you know, SUPER short shorts) that she got from Amy's room (to which she refused to explain why she had them). Tucker walked down the street to a house that was having a party. Using a lot of ketchup, he wrote out WILL YOU MARRY ME, SUE? In big bold letters. Amy ended up explaining why she had the SUPER short shorts anyway (it involved her old home in Chicago, a prank on some REALLY annoying kid in her class, and a dare from her supposed best friend to flirt with said kid...yeah, she repressed the memory too much to give more details, but she swears it was this incident that traumatized her into the person she is now). Phantom concocted a drink from every single non-lethal drink that he could find in the house, and drank a shot of it.

They watched the masters of idiotic things themselves, Jackass the movie. And were in the middle of strip poker when they realized it was 5 minutes to midnight.

Turning on the news, they watched eagerly as the news reporters reported live from some city, (when they realized it was Chicago, Amy showed signs of not watching much longer than needed).

"10!" they shouted as the countdown wound down.

"9!-8!-7!-6!-5!-4!-3!-2!-1!-"

"I AM THE BOX GHOST!!!" screamed a voice from above them. They looked up.

The box ghost was floating above them, a short, plump, blue ghost in overalls. He glared at the kids, who looked at each other, torn. They didn't know whether to run, scream, and hide from a ghost.

Or if they should just start cracking up, seeing as this ghost obviously was no danger to them.

Phantom looked at them. "I'll take care of this." Was all he said.

He floated up to the box ghost. "Boo."

"………BEWARE!" was all the box ghost said before flying off. But, Phantom chased after him.
"Oh, no you don't! You do not come to a party, and expect to be welcomed!" He yelled, though, he did not look annoyed. Actually, he looked like he was having fun, harassing the box ghost. But, it was only ever a chase around the house; Sam, Amy, and Tucker all taking bets on how long it would take before the box ghost flew out of the house.

Tucker won, the box ghost left after just 20 seconds of flying in circles.

Phantom flew back over to them, and landed. "Luckily, that's as easy as they come. He's a good punching bag when I'm feeling really stressed." Phantom said.

Sam and Amy were jittery. "That was so COOL!" Sam exclaimed. "What else can you do, Ghost boy?" Amy asked.

"Well, there's the usual; super speed, super strength, my favorite: flying, then, the added bonus of a ghost, ectoblasts, tangibility, invisibility, duplication (which, I still haven't completely mastered.) There's more, but I don't feel like listing them." He said, in a bit of a 'yeah-I've-got-super-powers-but-I'm-not-going-to-gloat-about-them' type of voice.

"…Wow..." Amy said, sort of like she was deep in thought. "Amy, I know that look" Sam said, "Don't hurt yourself."

"No, no," Amy said, "I was just thinking…" she trailed off, Sam rolled her eyes " I know." She said.

Amy was sprinting in 2 seconds, out of the room, leaving the others wondering. "Was it something I said?" Sam asked, knowing she's told Amy hundreds of times not to think too hard. She was still contemplating when a yell was heard from behind her.

"YYEEEAAAAA!!!!" Phantom screamed. Well, when freezing cold water is splashed on your back, it's hard not too. Amy was behind him, cracking up.

"Tangibility, yeah right!" Amy said between laughs. Phantom glared while Sam and Tucker took the opportunity to crack up too. Phantom used this advantage to sneak outside, stealing a snowball from the snow bank along the side of the road. Tucker noticed him leave, and ran outside…and got a face full of snow. Sam and Amy heard the noise of Tucker's scream and ran outside.

A snowball fight ensued.

Wet and cold, the 4 teens went back inside, heating up water for some hot chocolate, and digging up some marshmallows from the pantry. After raiding the house of the last of its sugary sweets, they made their way to the living room, watching some movies.

Around four o'clock in the morning, Sam whispered something in Phantom's ear, and handed him something while Amy and Tucker weren't noticing. Announcing the need to pee, Phantom got up and walked out of the room. Amy noticed a certain gleam in Sam's eye.

"Whatever you're planning, it won't work!" Amy jumped up, yelling. Sam and Tucker looked at her, Tucker with genuine curiosity and Sam with a sort of mixed curiosity and worry. "What are you talking about?" Sam asked.

"Oh like I don't know!" Amy accused. "I know that look in your eye, you're up to something, and I'm watching you! I'm not taking my eyes off you!" she pointed as she vowed that, only to break her vow when Phantom returned. Perhaps she would've seen Sam's questioning look and Phantom's return nod if she didn't look back and forth between them.

Sam had a look of smugness for the rest of the night, and she refused to tell Amy and Tucker (Phantom joined in, only half-heartedly) until 6 in the morning. Deciding to point above Amy and Tucker as an answer.

"Revenge is sweet."

No, nothing bad happend to Amy in Chicago, just something really really really embarassing.

Haha, Sam's good
