When Korra learned that Danny was staying, she was ecstatic. She has much planned for them. She knows they are going to be awesome friends; she thinks he is something special. They have much in common; they understand each other when no one else does. She is going to enjoy every moment with him. She does not know how much she has, a couple of minutes, a few hours, forever. She is going to live in these moments.
In four days, she is going to Republic City. Jinora and Korra told Tenzin the situation concerning Danny and Tenzin, being the good guy he is, allowed Danny to accompany them and live on Air Temple Island for the time being. Danny might as well enjoy his well-deserved vacation and where else is it better to relax than on Air Temple Island, the most peaceful place in Republic City?
She decides to tell her mother the truth, but Senna thinks she is joking. Since they are all going back there, Senna assumes Danny is from Republic City and the two fast friends are just pulling her leg.
Korra and Danny do spend a lot of time together. They go to the training grounds to let off some steam and work out. They go penguin sledding. They take rides on Naga through the tundra. Mostly, they talk, vent about their problems and their hero lives.
Korra has been spending so much time with Danny that she has been somewhat neglecting her friends. She regrets it, but then again, she knows they are not going anywhere anytime soon. There is no expiration dates on their visits unlike Danny's. She does not feel as bad when it comes to Mako. They just broke up; it is going to awkward for some time. It is also funny to see Mako become jealous upon seeing her and Danny together. She laughs at the face that Mako makes when he sees them together.
Danny is extremely interesting. He is the hero of Amity Park, a city in a country called the United States of America. She learns about American life, about fast food joints, technology, etc. The whole world is not his responsibility, but he does have a lot on his plate. Korra thinks that if he had to protect the whole world, he would be much more stressed out and haggard. His world sounds enormous compared to hers.
Danny is fun to have around; he has an abundance of amusing stories. She learns a lot about his life, his family, and his friends. She learns of his identity as Danny Phantom.
Korra thought he was joking when he told her that he is half ghost. She could not and still cannot wrap her head around that concept. She does not understand how that is possible to have gained power such as he has. She cannot believe it, but when he yells "going ghost," he transforms right in front of her eyes. His black hair becomes snow white and his blue eyes turn green, greener than Bolin's.
As a ghost, he boasts numerous and incredible powers. He is able to fly, shoot bolts from his fingers, become invisible, become intangible, etc. He once took her flying and it was a terrifying experience; she realized she prefers flying bison. Using his invisibility, they prank Mako, who still has not figured out who keeps stealing cups straight from his hands or who has been randomly lifting the chairs he is sitting on.
She keeps his identity a secret; he does not want anyone else to know. He does not think anyone else will appreciate it; they might take advantage of his powers.
She learns that his two best friends are complete opposites: Sam, an ultro-recyclo-vegetarian Goth and Tucker, a meat loving techno geek. She sympathizes with his tumultuous relationship with Sam. She notes that they have a pattern. They get together and are driven apart because of his fame. They decide to stay friends, which is a smoother ride for them. Because the friendship goes well, they give the romance another shot, but it falls apart and the cycle begins anew.
She is secretly thankful that she does not have a sister like Jazz, who sounds cool, but is someone one best experienced in small doses. Korra laughs when he tells about his ghost hunting parents, who spent a long time trying to hunt him down. She loves the fact that his mother is more competent than his father. 'Girls rule,' she thinks.
What she enjoys the most is when he speaks about all the ghosts that he has overpowered. She cannot imagine having his life; she would rather stick to protecting the world and dealing with the pig Raiko than having to chase ghosts who always manage to escape the Ghost Zone time and time again.
She learns about Skulker, Ember McClain, Young Blood, Desiree, Technus. She begins to hate Walker, who reminds her of Tarrlok. She is amused by the Box Ghost. Shouting 'Beware!' whenever they see other has become a ritual, an inside joke that never fails to crack them up, but which befuddles all of those around them.
