Okay, so here it is! The last chapter of "The Perfume"! YAYYY!*does excited dance and sees readers looking weirdly at her*What? Isn't anyone else excited about the fact that this is the last chapter of "The Perfume"!?*readers give her raised eyebrows*Wait, you mean… oh. You're actually upset that this is the last chapter.*readers give her looks that say "she finally gets it*Well sorry! I was just excited, that's all! Nothing wrong with that!*readers give her a dubious look once before leaving*Sheesh. You'd think the end of the world happened at the end of a fanfic for readers. Anyway… Yes, this is the last chapter, which is kinda like an epilogue. I hope you enjoy it and no, I do not, in any shape or form, own Danny Phantom. All rights belong to Butch Hartman.

-A Week Later-
A shiver ran up his spine and a wisp of blue mist snaked it's way out of Danny's mouth. Looking at the ethereal-looking mist, the raven-haired boy knew what it meant.
When he looked over at his girlfriend, Valerie(he still couldn't believe that Valerie was his girlfriend), he knew she recognised it as well.
Almost automatically, Danny's hand shot up into the air and he asked, "May I be excused?"
A second later, Valerie also raised her hand and asked, "May I be excused too?"
The teacher, Ms. Jones, gave Danny and Valerie a look and said, "Of course, you two may be excused. Just don't be too long."
The students snickered, believing that Danny and Valerie were excusing themselves to make out in the nearest broom closet, when it wasn't that at all. Far from it, in fact.
Danny looked at Valerie, who shared a look back. Holding hands, they walked out of the classroom, almost stumbling in their rush to leave.
As soon as they had left the classroom and had made sure the hallway was completely deserted, Valerie activated her suit and Danny said, "I'm going ghost!", transforming into Danny Phantom.
Floating up, Danny grinned cockily as he said, "Let's take care of this ghost."
"Let's," Valerie agreed. Flying up on her hover board, she gave Danny a quick kiss, smiling at him. Danny gave an affectionate smile back to his girlfriend.
It still stunned him, at times, that Valerie Grey, the Red Huntress, had discovered his secret a week ago, but had accepted him and was now officially a member of Team Phantom-and also his girlfriend. Sam and Tucker were a bit apprehensive about Val joining Team Phantom, and they had been thoroughly shocked when Danny had told them he and Valerie were a couple again. His parents and Valerie's dad had been shocked too, but they had accepted their relationship, as did Jazz. The two had talked, and they agreed that they would try to make their relationship last longer than last time, but if it wasn't working, then they would end things. They also agreed that Danny wouldn't tell Maddie that Valerie was the Red Huntress, nor would Valerie tell her dad that Danny Fenton was Danny Phantom, until they were both ready to tell the other's respective parent.
The agreements that they had made aside, the last week of them being a couple had been pure happiness. Whenever Danny and Valerie held hands, kissed, made out, or were simply together, it always sent happy thrills through them. And they had made a formidable pair, fighting ghosts together. The ghosts they had fought couldn't believe that Danny Phantom and the Red Huntress were working together, and that gave Danny and Valerie an edge. It wasn't easy, like before, but at least Danny and Valerie could share the burden together.
But right now, Danny and Valerie had a ghost to catch.
Valerie flew on her hover board while Danny used his flight power. In no time, they arrived to the place where the ghost that had set off Danny's ghost sense in class was; with the place happening to be a storage room.
Danny and Valerie gave each other a look that said, Should have guessed.
Danny turned intangible and grabbed Valerie's shoulders, turning her intangible as well. They phased through the door, where Danny let go of Valerie's shoulders and returning her to tangibility, Danny also becoming tangible again.
Valerie shivered.
"No matter how many times you do that, it still feels weird," Valerie muttered.
Danny gave her a small half-smile, that melted into annoyance when he and Valerie heard a familiar, loud voice.
"I AM THE BOX GHOST! AND WHEN I EMPTY YOU OF YOUR USELESS PAPERS, YOUR MARVELLOUS CARDBOARD SQUARENESS SHALL BE MINE TO CONTROL! HEH HA HA HA! BEWARE!"
"Hey, Box Ghost!" Danny shouted, attracting Box Ghost's attention. Box Ghost gave Danny an angry look.
"YOU AGAIN!? FOOLISH HALFA, YOU CAN NEVER DEFEAT ME, THE ALL-POWERFUL, ALL-TERRIFYING BOX GHOST! AND YOU'RE ESPECIALLY FOOLISH TO FACE MY FEAR-INSPIRING POWER OVER ALL CONTAINERS CARDBOARD AND SQUARE BY YOURSELF! NOW BE DESTROYED, BY MY CARDBOARD STORAGE BOXES OF DOOOOOM!"
Using his powers, Box Ghost made all the boxes in the room levitate, sending them at Danny. But Danny just floated there, bored. When the boxes were about to hit him, Valerie blasted some of them away, while Danny turned intangible and let the other boxes pass through him.
"Who said that he was alone?" Valerie asked coyly, stepping out of the shadows, blaster ready to fire.
Box Ghost's eyes widened when he saw Valerie.
"Oh no…" he muttered worriedly.
"Surprised?" Valerie asked, smirking.
The Box Ghost, for a second, looked scared, but quickly regained his "scary" expression.
"SURPRISED? SURPRISED? THE BOX GHOST IS NEVER SURPRISED, FOR HE KNEW THAT YOU WERE THERE, RED HUNTRESS! THE BOX GHOST WAS JUST PRETENDING TO BE SURPRISED! BUT EVEN WITH YOUR GIRLFRIEND WITH YOU, PHANTOM, YOU CAN NOT POSSIBLY DEFEAT ME! NOW PREPARE TO BE SQUASHED UNDER A MOUNTAIN OF SQUARE CARDBOARD DOOM! BEWARE!"
Box Ghost sent another wave of cardboard boxes, but Danny put up a shield in front of him and Valerie, deflecting the boxes until there was no more coming at them.
Putting down the shield, Danny turned to Valerie, a knowing smile on his face. Valerie, guessing what he was thinking, knowingly smiled back.
The two lovebirds turned back to Box Ghost, knowing grins still on their faces, which worried Box Ghost a bit.
Danny's fists and eyes glowed an ethereal icy blue and Valerie readied one of her blasters. Together, the ghost-fighting coupe charged Box Ghost, who's scared look lasted for a second, before hardening into anger and a "terrifying" look.
"BEWARE!" Box Ghost shouted, and used his powers to send more boxes at them. Danny froze the first few boxes while Valerie blasted others away. Danny managed to freeze Box Ghost in a block of ice, enabling Valerie to get a familiar ghost-capturing device out.
Flying down, Valerie pulled out a Fenton Thermos and threw it to Danny, shouting, "Danny, catch!"
Danny caught the thermos and uncapped it, pointing it at Box Ghost, who just freed himself from his icy prison. A bright blue beam of light shot out, trapping Box Ghost and sucking him inside the thermos.
"NOOOOOO!" Box Ghost screamed as he was sucked inside. When he was fully inside, Danny capped the Fenton Thermos close and flew down next to Valerie.
"Well, Box Ghost is taken care of," Danny said, holding up the thermos.
Valerie grinned, and lifted up the black plexiglass mask in front of her face, enabling her to kiss Danny. He kissed back, clipping the thermos to his belt before he gently held Valerie's face, their kisses becoming deeper and deeper.
When they were seconds away from making out, they heard the bell ring and they pulled back, blushing a little.
"I… think that we should leave the storage room, considering the ghost is gone," Valerie said, deactivating her suit.
Danny nodded in agreement, transforming back to human form.
"We should," Danny said back.
Holding Valerie's hand, Danny turned them both intangible, phasing through the door when the coast was clear, turning tangible shortly after. Hand in hand, Valerie rested her head on Danny's shoulder as the two headed for their next class, joining up with Sam and Tucker on the way, Valerie deep in thought.
A week ago, she wouldn't have hesitated to destroy Danny's ghost form. But she knew better. She knew Danny's secret; she knew now that Phantom was a hero. She knew that Danny hadn't meant for her dad to lose his job three years ago, and she had an amazing boyfriend now. She was a part of Team Phantom, and she couldn't have been more happier. Sam had been hard to convince she had turned over a new leaf concerning Danny's ghost form, but the two girls had actually become good friends after all, as hard as that was to imagine. She loved Danny, both his human and ghost forms. And she had not looked back once.
And to think, out of all possible situations, Valerie had discovered Danny's secret thanks to her blood blossom perfume; a discovery that had made her life infinitely more better.
Maybe that blood blossom perfume had been good for something after all.
And, here is the last chapter!
I know, I know, the ending and some parts of the chapter were a bit cruddy, and the AN at the top was weird, but I hope you enjoyed this chapter-and this story-anyway!
I couldn't resist putting Box Ghost here in this chapter; he's one of my favourite villains, he just tries so hard to be scary, and I can totally imagine Danny and Valerie fighting him together.
