Chapter 12: Special Delivery

Monday, Week 7

Casper High, 3:00pm

"B-B-But Paulina….You said that if I did your science homework, you would come with me to my cousin's wedding as my date…"A nerdy sophomore said to the Hispanic beauty queen.

"Look, I'm sorry but something came up and I won't be available that day…"Paulina said neutral voice while on the inside she was trying to make sure her phone was close enough to her miserable target.

"But…I told them I had a date and it's this Friday!..."The nerd said in a pleading tone which Paulina didn't care about in the slightest.

"Well, then tell them your date couldn't make it…Look, I'm sorry Scott but there is nothing I can do…"Paulina said carelessly as she eyed her nails, trying to keep an air of indifference.

"My…My name is Steven…"The nerd said in a humiliated voice while Paulina tried hard to hide her smirk. Her final victim just needed was finally giving into his angst and misery…all that was left was the kill.

"Whatever…"Paulina said coldly as she walked away but not before looking back at her target who looked like he was really hurt and humiliated.

What's more was he couldn't do or say anything about it and the reason was simple: He feared her...and he was very wise to do so. She knew that he wouldn't dare report her to the office without risking the wrath of the A-Listers and being subjected to a series of wedgies, beatings and other forms of bullying from the jocks if they thought he did or said anything to offend their Goddess.

Paulina was a Goddess to her fellow students...and she could be punish like one as well.

"Finally, I'm done…A dozen victims misery has been saved…"Paulina thought as she checked her phone, making sure everything was in order.

She finally had twelve miserable teenagers angst and humiliation saved on her phone, ready for Spectra once she came back with the goods. Spectra's app was very unique and organized, the misery was almost like saved files you could find on any computer, and each one had the name and picture of her chosen victims. Paulina spent the last few days searching for the perfect people who were easy enough to generate a large amount of misery without making too much of a scene and risk getting her hands dirty and facing possible repercussion.

She wanted to save her beloved by any means necessary from the Goth bitch but she had a reputation and image to maintain as well...She needed to remain the perfect girl in the eyes of society, a Goddess who only smites those who were unworthy of being in her presence

On Thursday, her victims included that geeky dweeb Mikey and a geeky girl name Paige who was the victim of her fashion advice. On Friday, it was three desperate guys who asked her out and were met with not-so-subtle rejection and two other homely girls who crumbled at the presence of the Goddess of Casper High and her sharp tongue.

She also managed to find some victims during the weekend as well. On Saturday she went to her favorite spa for a manicure and ran into a girl around her age that was riddled with acne and was desperate for an emergency facial. It only took a few words from Paulina to make her cry and run out of the spa, but not before absorbing and saving her misery into her pink cellphone….though Paulina made sure to be careful and make sure that the staff or the other members didn't see her doing her job.

The last thing she needed was for them to think she was anything less than their top member.

Later that day she went to the Nasty Burger to hang out with the other A-Listers and once more she managed to convince the jocks to "help" her against two losers who were ogling her from a distance, watching them give the desperate guys a couple of wedgies while she pretended not to notice. On Sunday, she made a detour through the park and ran into a fat girl who couldn't have been older than 13 and was trying to jog and Paulina was surprised how quick she was to get her to break down when she pointed out it would take her forever before it would start to show any results.

Scott or whatever his name was her last victim, since on Thursday she managed to convince him to do her homework for her in exchange for being his date to his stupid cousin's wedding…a promise she never intended to keep.

"Twelve little losers, all accounted for…"Paulina thought smirking as she put her phone back in her purse. Now all that was left is for Spectra to do her part and then…only then, she would be one step closer to making her ghost boy hers forever more.

Till death do they part.

"Ghost boy…"Paulina thought in complete bliss as she gazed at his many pictures in her locker. He truly was a beautiful, majestic creature…one that Paulina wanted to tame by any means necessary.

"Are you serious?..." Paulina froze as she heard that voice….it was the voice of the one she loved.

"Totally serious, "Dead Teacher 5:Detention of the dead"in 3D…"Was also heard and Paulina felt a spike of anger.

It was her voice.

Paulina turned around to see it was her beloved and the Gothic home wrecker just 10 feet away from them…and it was obvious they were oblivious of her presence….They were just so focused on each other.

It was disgusting!

"They've been sold out for weeks, how did you managed to get tickets?…"Her ghost boy said in an impressed tone that made Paulina cringe. She could have easily gotten them tickets if she knew he wanted to see the show. She would give him anything if he asked her to.

"Online…"Was what the Goth answered and Paulina rolled her eyes.

She wasn't that impressive….She was just a tramp that would soon pay for getting in the way of true love. She was going to make sure of it.

Paulina's eyes burned on the couple from a distance…though she was careful to make sure they didn't notice her staring….and she tried hard to hide the anger and heartbreak she was feeling at the sight of her beloved smiling at that demon in combat boots.

Why couldn't he see that she was all wrong for him?! There was absolutely nothing about her that was even remotely desirable in any way, shape or form, especially when compared to a real woman like Paulina.

Her eyes were on her beloved feeling a mixture of desire and longing…She couldn't wait to free him from that monster's control and finally live happily ever after.

He loved her…He wanted her just as much as she wanted him…He said so many times before, it's just that the goth beast was making him forget about her. But Paulina knew that he truly wanted her…he even said she should become "Paulina Fenton" himself.

She still remembered that day, when her parents were being kidnapped by those hideous ghost pirates and her beloved lead them to saving them…though she didn't know it at the time that he was her beloved but that was beside the point.

She still remember that little comment he made that once left her confused as hell but now could only give her butterflies in her tummy…it served as proof that they were meant to be.

FLASHBACK

Paulina was trying to calm herself as she felt the adrenaline of fear rush through her body…she didn't like the emotion known as fear…it was very distressing and she hated feeling so vulnerable and intimidated.

She was Paulina Sanchez and she was used to being the one who subjected others to those feelings.

She and her entire class were trapped in a force field while wearing Fenton's father's hideous orange jumpsuits. Everyone's parents had been kidnapped by ghost pirates and being used as slaves and that geek Fenton was supposed to be leading them into rescuing them…and while she was impressed on how he managed to get them on the ship, now they were captured and were at the mercy of an undead pirate crew and her mother and father were still being prisoner…which meant they weren't around to give her whatever she asked for and make sure others treated her like they should.

Not to mention she and everyone else were still stuck wearing these hideous orange jumpsuits that were an insult to style in every possible way! She didn't care if it was a life or death situation, Orange was atrocious in any point…but that was beside the point. Her parents were still being held prisoners, she was captured by a pair of crazy ghost pirates and it looks like it was the end of the line for her.

Where are you my ghost boy?..."Paulina internally begged for her beloved to come to her aid and teach these vagrants a lesson about daring to lay a hand on the Goddess of Casper High.

Not to mention she wanted to stop feeling the emotion known as fear and wanted to feel the emotion known as happiness right now…He was the only one that was capable of giving her that strange but wonderful feeling.

Suddenly Paulina noticed there was a commotion on board and she gasped as she saw her beloved fending off the ghostly pirate crew with such ease and grace.

"He's here!..."Paulina squealed internally and felt a large smile on her face, radiating all the happiness she was experiencing at the moment.

An emotion that came only when he did.

Her beloved had come to save her and punish the ghostly monsters who dared to get on her bad side….He was simply wonderful. Paulina's breath hitched a bit as she saw him fly toward them, obviously he was going to set them free.

"Oh, he's so considerate…"Paulina thought dreamily as she admired her beloved who was now in front of her and her fellow students.

"Oh look…It's the ghost boy…"Paulina said in a dreamy voice and secretly wished she was wearing something more desirable than this tacky orange jumpsuit. Hopefully with everyone else wearing the same thing, he wouldn't mind.

"Where's Fenton?...'Dash asked to the ghostly teen while Paulina tried not to get annoyed that he was interrupting one of their special moments.

"Who cares about that loser…My ghost boy is here for me…"Paulina thought while trying to keep a cute and sweet expression on her face towards the man she loved.

"Oh…I…I saved him…He's a really cool guy…"Her ghost boy said thought Paulina was confused by that statement. While Paulina admitted it was impressive that Fenton got them on board, he was gone right now and he was still a geek with no shot at all with her, since her heart beloved solely to her ghostly prince right before her.

"You should totally make out with him…"He quickly added and it made Paulina even more confused.

"Wait…What?..."Paulina was stumped…Why on EARTH would her beloved ask her to kiss another man?!…especially with that geek?! Paulina was devoted to her ghost boy only, she would never go to another.

Paulina's thoughts stopped as she watched her beloved fight those monsters and felt her heart sore as she watched him do what he did best: Protecting her.

"Go get them Ghost Boy!..."Paulina cheered and hoped he heard her, he was really high up but Paulina still smiled and enjoyed the feelings he was giving him…it's been a long day for her and she was truly relishing it.

However, Paulina's happiness was unfortunately cut short when she felt the ship jerk harshly and nearly fell over.

"What's going on?..."Paulina asked to no one in particular, but soon saw all the adults in town on board…including her parents!

However, she also noticed that the ship was falling from the sky, it seems the ghost pirates were using them as the power source.

"I don't get it, why do they need a power source if they can fly on their own?..."Paulina thought in confusion, it just didn't make much sense to her…but she soon realized it was beside the point, they were going to crash.

Thankfully Paulina's panic was cut short when her beloved was in front of her once more.

"EVERYONE HUDDLE TOGETHER NOW!..."Her beloved ordered and Paulina's eyes sparkled. She didn't need to be asked twice for the chance to snuggle close to the man of her dreams. She soon found herself running to him and embracing him tightly, savoring the joy she felt at being so close to him warm body.

"With you!...Oh...It's my dream come true!..."Paulina said romantically as she snuggled closer to her beloved, all the fear and distress from today were worth it for this wonderful, wonderful moment.

"Seriously, you should really consider "Paulina Fenton"…"He quickly said which made Paulina very confused once more.

"Fenton?!...I wanna be "Paulina Phantom"…"Paulina thought to herself, though she didn't let go of her man just yet. She was confused, this was the second time today he told her to do things they were supposed to do together with another man….and with that loser dweeb Fenton of all people.

"Is he into swinging or something?...'Paulina thought curious as she recalled her beloved's insistence that she give Fenton a chance….

She certainly hoped her wasn't into that sort of stuff, she couldn't think she could bare sharing him with anyone for even a moment!…maybe he was using reverse psychology on her, to test just how loyal she was to him?

Yes, that made much more sense than him really trying to set her up with a total loser that wasn't even a half the man he was.

END OF FLASHBACK

Paulina tried hard to suppress a giggle at all the irony of that situation, if she had known at the time she would have jumped at the chance to make out with Fenton, long before that Goth bitch ruined things. She was certainly thick not to see all the clues her beloved was setting up for her.

It was obvious that he wanted her as much as she wanted him…but he had his secret to protect….he clearly wanted a relationship with her but he couldn't flat out reveal his secret in that very public situation.

He was practically proposing to her on that pirate ship and she was too stupid and clueless not to pick up the now very obvious signs and clues…and now thanks to her thickness, the goth bitch was his girlfriend, corrupting him and making him forget about the bond that was between them.

"Not for long…"Paulina thought determined as her eyes were burning holes on the home wrecker who had the nerve to smile at her beloved.

She should have been the one to surprise him with movie tickets and go on a date with later today, not that ugly, tacky vampire bat!

She always brought feelings of pain and anger…feelings Paulina hated and never wanted to be subjected to but the mere sight of the Goth made her feel it at full force…along with the sadness of knowing that she and her man were still separated.

"Don't worry my beloved….Soon I'll save you from her…I promise…"Paulina whispered as she left the hall, no longer able to bare the sight of the blatant adultery, though she reminded herself that her beloved was not at fault here.

He was just a victim of deceit and that Goth was the monstrous being who was interfering with true love. Paulina was really looking forward to exacting justice on her…once and for all.

Soon Paulina's hands were on her phone and she opened Spectra's app, she was soon typing away in order to contact her accomplice…The sooner she got her spy gear, the soon she could monitor her beloved and find a weakness in the Goth whore monster that would soon be on her way back to hell where she belonged!

"Do you have everything ready?..."Paulina typed and sent to her associate, before putting her phone away. By the time she got to her car, she felt her phone vibrated and saw that Spectra had sent her a reply.

"Finally…"Paulina thought as she flipped her hope open and checked the messages.

"Yes, and I'm on my way to the human world as we speak, I should be there by sundown…"Was what the text replied.

Paulina smirked, happy that soon her efforts would be worth it…though she noticed the end of the text.

"What about you?..."Spectra added at the end of her text.

"I'll send you your pay after you present me with the goods…"Paulina typed wisely before sending her associate her message.

She was no one's fool, she wasn't going to pay Spectra until after she got what she wanted.

"Meet me at my house as soon as you get to the human world and there we'll exchange…."Paulina typed.

"Sounds good to me…"Was what Spectra typed before Paulina put her phone away and entered her car.

She was very pleased that by tonight, she'll finally have the tools needed to reclaim her beloved's heart once and for all, as well as exact justice of the Goth who had the nerve to interfere with her plans.

Later that day

At Sanchez Manor

Once home, Paulina laid on her bed, bored out of her mind as she waited for Spectra to arrive so they could get down to business.

"Whatever she has better be worth it…"Paulina thought seriously, she still didn't completely trust Spectra and she knew she had to keep her guard up with her at all times.

She knew Spectra was a ruthless, deceptive and outright dangerous ghost who only cared about herself and her personal interests, the fact that she masqueraded as a lovely woman made her even more dangerous, because a person who was ignorant to what she really was wouldn't be able to sense the danger until it was too late.

Paulina was very aware that beauty could be the most powerful and dangerous weapon of them all…She was a master of it after all.

She didn't trust Spectra but she was aware she didn't need to trust her, as long as the ghoul continued aiding her, Paulina would still do business with her as long as it would get her another step closer to her one true love. She didn't trust Spectra...but she needed her in order to get rid of Manson for good, so that would do for now.

Paulina soon felt a yawn coming and looked at her alarm clock, it was 4:11pm. She knew Spectra wouldn't arrive until much later so she decided to catch up on some beauty sleep… Not that she needed it but there was nothing wrong with some maintenance after all. Paulina yawned once more and felt herself drift off into a light sleep...

It seems these last few days of misery seeking did more of tole on her than she originally thought.

DREAM SEQUENCE

It was a beautiful spring day in Paris, France. The city was famous for its romantic atmosphere and Paulina now knew that it was very well deserved. It was the perfect honeymoon spot for any couple…including her and her new husband since yesterday.

Paulina eye's fluttered open…for a moment she felt her usually emptiness she felt whenever she woke up…until memories from yesterday flooded in her mind and her emptiness was replaced with nothing but happiness, among other pleasant emotions she learned to love as well.

Especially since she now knew that these feelings would be permanent.

Paulina was currently in bed with her blanket covering her nude figure, she turned over and saw her equally naked and sexy husband of twenty four hours: Danny, who as still resting peacefully like an angel. Her dream finally came true last night, she and her beloved were finally united as husband and wife and they were now bound to each other for the rest of their lives. Paulina glanced at the large diamond ring on her finger it was the only article of clothing she was still wearing, no matter what, she would never take it off for as long as she lived.

It was a symbol of her and her beloved's undying, eternal love and devotion for each other...It was a symbol that she was no longer Paulina Sanchez, the girl with no emotions that masquerades as the Goddess of Casper High with only her beauty and her mind, a shell of an actress who could only play the role that society gave her.

She was, now and forever, Paulina Fenton/Phantom, WIFE of her beloved ghost boy and a woman who was no longer a shell of an actress but she was finally a true human being with feelings...wonderful, glorious feelings that made her entire life worth living.

All thanks to her husband who was still snoozing peacefully beside her.

Paulina sighed and blushed as memories of the previous night filled her mind, it wasn't their first time together but she still felt such satisfaction whenever she and her beloved made love…it was unlike anything she ever experienced in her life...whenever they united in their passionate embrace, it was like she was being reborn.

Reborn into a much happier human being.

"You're finally all mine, ghost boy…"Paulina smiled as she admired his beautiful, sleeping form. She gave a blissful sigh and moved some of his dark hair back, even after so long he still had such an effect on her…she could feel nothing but happiness when she was by his side.

Especially when he was like this. Paulina's eyes ogled his beautiful and very naked form, and his innocent, sleeping face was so cute and endearing and it always made her heart flutter like crazy…Paulina caressed his face and kissed his sleeping lips, waking him up in the process.

"Good morning, darling…"Paulina said with a sexy smile.

"Morning…"Her beloved answered as he kissed her back. Paulina gave him a sexy smirk and was soon straddling him once more and started kissing him all over his face before slipping her tongue in.

Paulina enjoyed the happiness…as well as the other pleasant feeling she had whenever she had moments like this with her man….no, her husband. He was her husband now! Her wonderful, pure, perfect, sexy, muscular, gorgeous, darling and kind husband who always made her feel alive.

He made her feel happy to be alive.

She felt a wild, animalistic desire come over her as she gazed down at her lovers perfect physique…the kind that always ended with her experiencing an emotion she learned to enjoy as much as happiness itself. It didn't take long for the Hispanic beauty to identify this particular and downright enjoyable feeling.

It was lust. Pure, true and complete and utter lust!

After an hour of passion filled love making, the married couple finally got out of bed to go on with their day, though Paulina knew she was going to be wearing a grin for the rest of the day…not that she was complaining mind you.

"It doesn't get any better than this"...Paulina said as she admired the large diamond ring on her hand.

As her husband was currently in the shower, he never saw the dark smile form on his beautiful wife's face or heard these words exit her mouth for what would be the last time.

"It's a shame that Manson can't be here to see all this...then again, it be a bigger shame if she was"...Paulina whispered, feeling the sadistic grin on her face as she briefly recalled the night she exacted vengeance on the goth bitch and won her man back.

She could never tell him of what went down the night his old girlfriend died…but all he had to know was that he now had a loving, loyal, beautiful wife that would always be there for him...He no longer had to think about that Goth who kept them apart.

All that mattered was that they were finally living they're happily ever after together….as they were always destined to.

Paulina's sadistic expression was gone and replaced with a happy smile...one she knew that would never leave her face. She soon found herself marching to the bathroom to share a bath with her husband.

She smiled as she knew this would be the first of many things they would share in their new, marvelous, happy life together.

END OF DREAM SEQUENCE

Paulina was jerked out of her perfect dream as she found herself pushed not so gently out of bed.

"W-What the hell?..."Paulina yelped and made sure her beauty was still intact, the last thing she needed was a broken nail or a bruise marring her flawless skin.

"Finally, I thought you'd never wake up…"An annoyed voice complained and Paulina looked up to see it was Spectra who was giving her an annoyed and slightly disgusted look.

Paulina realized that she was the one who pushed her off her bed…and in turn, woke her up from the wonderful dream she was having about her beloved and their future together.

There was no excuse for that.

"What's was that about?!...'Paulina growled at the red haired ghoul who was giving her a nonchalant expression.

"You weren't waking up so I had to do something…sorry if I interrupted one of your vulgar fantasies about Phantom…"Spectra answered with her nose crinkled, demonstrating her disgust.

Paulina was shocked at that reply.

Vulgar?!

"You were muttering that boy's name in your sleep and I had to stop you before your hands did something I would regret seeing…'Spectra answered and smirked as she sensed the humiliation the girl was in…it was obvious that whatever the girl was dreaming was of the raunchy material and she didn't want anyone seeing her like that.

Paulina fought back the blush forming on her cheeks and tried to ignore the burning sensation she was experiencing right now…the one that made her want to crawl under a rock and hide….she didn't know what it was called yet but she knew she didn't like…it might not be as painful as sadness was…but it was still an unpleasant feeling that was getting worse as Spectra was sending her a taunting smirk.

"If your done feeling embarrassed, we have work to get to…"Spectra said as she sat on the pink loveseat while Paulina was getting over her embarrassment and soon found the strength to walk up to the emotion eater.

"Did you bring what I requested?...'Paulina asked in an all business tone as she noticed Spectra was taking something out of her suitcase.

"Better believe it, check out these babies…"Spectra said as she presented Paulina the ghost robot bugs.

"What are they?...'Paulina asked as she eyed the design…They were certainly ugly little things...though for some reason they were familiar.

"I present to you "The Plasmius Insectus", but I call them "Bug Bots"…formerly owned by Vlad Plasmius…'Spectra explained and Paulina's eyes widened.

"Plasmius?! That creepy mayor ghost who tried to take over the world?..."Paulina asked in disbelief as Spectra nodded.

"The very same….Plasmius had an obsession with Phantom and his mother and used these things to spy on him, he placed them in his house and would stalk them constantly and Phantom never even noticed….'Spectra said to the intrigued teenager.

"You means these things are spying devices?...'Paulina asked and Spectra nodded.

"I already put two bugs in both Manson and Phantom's home, it was easy to get in since they are out on a date…"Spectra said and enjoyed the spike of anger and jealousy she felt from her little partner.

"Hand me your phone…'Spectra ordered and Paulina obliged.

Spectra typed a few things in it and suddenly her hands started to glow once more, after about five minutes, she stopped and handed the phone back to the curious beauty queen.

"Open my app…"Spectra ordered and Paulina did so…Her eyes widened as she noticed a new feature on the app, it was a little button that had a camera symbol on it…along with her beloved and Manson's names suddenly appeared.

"Click either name and it will give you complete audio and visual of either of their homes…"Spectra explained and Paulina was agape.

She now had free view of her beloved in his natural habitat?…along with that bitch and all her dirty laundry

"Are you serious?...'Paulina asked in shock as Spectra gave her a smirk.

"Deadly serious…"Was all she replied.

Paulina soon clicked the one with her beloved's name and noticed that a video screen suddenly appeared like the ones of Youtube…only it was showing her someone's bedroom.

Her beloved's bedroom! Paulina also noticed there was also an image of his kitchen, living room and even her darling's family laboratory…She had complete visual access of his house now!

"Remember, you also have access to Manson's as well…'Spectra said before suddenly grabbing the phone.

"HEY!..."Paulina whined while Spectra ignored her.

"Aren't you forgetting something?...You know you can't get something for nothing you know…"Spectra said and Paulina rolled her eyes.

"Yeah...Yea...I remember and I always keep my promises…Paulina said to the ghoul who rolled her eyes.

"Only when it's convenient for you…'Spectra jabbed and Paulina frowned.

Spectra handed her phone back and Paulina knew what she had to do, after about a moment, she sent all the misery she managed to gather these last few days and her eyes widened as she saw what was happening to Spectra.

"Oh…Oh…YES!...'Spectra moaned as a red aura suddenly surrounded her, rejuvenating her and making her look younger and more beautiful than what she truly was.

Spectra was moaning in delight and almost looked like she was going to pass out from all the pleasure she was experiencing….Though from Paulina's perspective, it looked like she was almost having an orgasm.

"Oh yes! That hit the spot…'Spectra muttered as she soon stood in front of Paulina's very large mirror and admired her beautiful, young form…as well as enjoy the boost in power she was getting. It's been a while since she felt such a large amount of raw and delicious teenage angst and all at once!

It was simply glorious!

'It's been a pleasure doing business with you Paulina, we should do this again soon…'Spectra said as she was about to leave when Paulina suddenly called out to her.

"WAIT! Is there a limit on these bugs?...What if Danny finds them?...'Paulina asked.

She couldn't have her beloved discover these things before she got rid of Manson…and she couldn't have him somehow figure out she was connected to them in any way, shape or form.

"Calm down…I read Plasmius's stuff and these bugs have a built in instruction to keep out of sight and are designed to maintained themselves…and they can even become invisible when necessary…since they are machines you're boy toy won't be able to sense them…"Spectra explained to the suddenly pleased young girl.

"So these babies can hide and fix themselves all on their own…"Paulina said in an amazed voice.

"That's the simple version of it...Yes, Plasmius spared no expense on them…Which is good news for us…"Spectra said before she left the pink and overly girly bedroom, and the unstable girl who was glancing at her phone's newest app with a predatory grin on her face.

"Oh my darling, sweet ghost boy….Don't worry because now that Goth really has nowhere left to hide..."Paulina thought with a dark smirk marring her deceptively beautiful face and very dark thoughts filled her mind on what she intends to do with Manson...and what she intends to do to her beloved ghost boy once the deed was done.

She was just over joyed that soon her dream would come true….and no one would be able to keep her from it anymore.
