Chapter 5: The Real You
Danny woke the next morning feeling great he looked over to see Paulina. She was sleeping very peacefully, Danny smiled lightly glad he could see this moment of sweet tranquility. On the contrary however he needed to make sure Tucker was alright and safe. He was about to get out of bed until he realized his lack of clothing. Then over to Paulina who stirred quietly.
"Paulina please tell me we didn't..." He trailer off looking at her. She opened one eye and stretched in bed before processing his question.
"We didn't do that silly." Paulina said playfully pushing the boy on his chest. "But if you wanted to get frisky... I wouldn't mind..." She said seductively, she pecked his lips before getting out of bed. Danny smirked and hopped off as well. He stretched and scratched his back, last nights events flooding back in.
"What are your plans for today?" Danny asked looking out the window, Paulina was in the bathroom with nothing but her bra and panties on. Danny looked back and was at a loss of words seeing Paulina in that state of undress. "Um Pau- Paulina y-you uh f-forgot to close t-the door." Danny stumbled over his words, Paulina looked back toward him and blushed madly before shutting it.
"N-nothing really, might go over Star's house to check on her... What about you?" Paulina asked, Danny shrugged putting his pants back on.
"Same here, wonder how Tuck's doing, hopefully he made it somewhere safe." Danny said recalling Tucker's shenanigans last night. Paulina came out with a towel on and signaled to the bathroom.
"You need to take a shower?" she asked seeing Danny start to put on his shirt.
"Oh no appreciate it but I don't have any clothes here." Danny said about to grab his jacket, Paulina was quick to point to her closet.
"I washed the clothes you had on that night you fought those five ghosts!" She said, Danny looked to her closet before shrugging.
"Oh well I guess I could shower here no big deal." Danny said until he made a mental connection. 'Oh that's right she probably doesn't want to be left alone.' Danny thought as he sat back on the bed. Paulina went on and turned on the shower. Danny was still kind of sleepy, the clock on her night stand read nine o' clock. Not a time to be up if you didn't goto sleep til one last night. He started observing her room looking to the pictures on her dresser. He saw a picture of her young self, Danny couldn't help but smile.
She couldn't be more than five, swinging on a swing with her father behind her. He went to the next to see her and her mother. Paulina was sitting on her lap with her arms flailed laughing. She was right to say she and her mother looked dangerously alike. Her mother smiling staring at the camera, her eyes that blue green as well. After a few moments of him looking at the pictures he decided to goto the bathroom downstairs. After using it he looked at himself in the mirror. Seeing the scar still present on his face reminded him of the conflict still going on in the ghost zone.
Clockwork informed him not to worry saying when the time comes Danny would be contacted. The half ghost trusted father time, for he did know what the future held. It didn't change the fact that Danny felt uneasy about it. He ran his fingers through his hair before leaving. The floor was cold under his feet now in the kitchen. Taking in her house as a whole, Danny concluded that it was a really nice place. Wondering why Paulina even went to a public school, a private school would better suit a girl like her. He went back upstairs and into her room, not wanting to get caught snooping around. Which he wasn't, he just didn't want her to get the wrong idea. He flopped back on the bed sideways, picking up his phone. He texted Tucker to see if he was okay. Danny then decided he'd take a nap until Paulina got out of the shower.
"Danny wake up" Paulina spoke gently shaking the teen. Danny woke up again looking up to a dressed Paulina. She giggled looking down on the boy. Danny rolled over on his back, Paulina got on the bed as well. Adjusting herself so that she was face to face with him.
"Five more minutes, promise..." Danny said closing his eyes, Paulina grinned before pressing her lips against his. Danny was up and at em then. He opened his eyes as Paulina broke the kiss.
"Sorry, I thought it was the only way." Paulina said giggling at the boy's state, Danny prompted his self up on his elbows.
"Ha ha very funny." He said getting up fully, he looked to the left to see his clothes from that night on the bed. They were all sown up and everything. Danny lifted his shirt up the turned to Paulina. "You didn't have to do that." Paulina shrugged.
"It was the least I could do." Paulina spoke, Danny gave her his signature small smile before heading toward her bathroom. He showered for about fifteen minutes before getting out he dried off and slipped on his boxers. Danny saw a toothbrush still in it's packaging on the counter. He figured it was for him since it wasn't there when he came in. He opened it and started brushing his teeth. Afterwards he slipped on his clothes and walked out. He noticed Paulina not present in her room so he slipped on his shirt and pants then went downstairs. A good smelling breakfast hit his nostrils full force making his mouth water. He went in the kitchen to see Paulina over the stove cooking. He saw a plate of bacon on the side and decided to sneak over and steal a piece. Thinking he was in the clear he reached but before he could touch it, his hand was smacked by Paulina. She shot him a look that said wait causing him to moan.
"Oh come on just one" Danny pleaded, Paulina shook her head pointing to the living room.
"No, go watch t.v. or something it's almost done." Paulina said, Danny grumbled waltzing on over to the couch. He felt his phone vibrate and took it out.
Tuck: Dude I'm more than okay, man have I got a story to tell you!
Danny smirked at the message, 'Tucker must've achieved the impossible.' Danny thought shaking his head, he found the remote on the table and turned on the t.v. He flipped through the channels and realized he didn't watch t.v. like that. Chuckling he turned it off and went back in the kitchen to see if Paulina was almost done. He watched her cook, his mind trying wrap around the fact that this was really happening. It hadn't occurred to him until now that he was in Paulina Sanchez's house. He stayed and slept with her in her bed last night. Now this morning she was cooking him breakfast. If you would have told him that freshman year, he would have laughed and asked that person what drug they were on and how could he obtain it.
"Wow this is really crazy..." Danny voiced his thoughts, Paulina gave him a knowing look.
"I know, the pepper's expired." Paulina said raising said spice, Danny chuckled and took it out of her hand.
"No I'm talking about this." Danny said pointing to her, Paulina raised a brow not quite following. "You, me, in your house, cooking breakfast! Never in a million years would I have guessed this would happen." Danny was cut off by Paulina kissing him, it took a moment but the teen kissed her back. Paulina pulled back and licked her lips. Danny noticed her antics, she was trying to break him and it was working. His feelings for her grew since the past week and half. Getting to know her as a person, he still wanted to wait a little bit longer before initiating anything. Plus there was Grimera and the current war in the ghost zone. He just didn't feel like it was wise to start one right now. However it did feel good at the moment and he might as well enjoy it.
"It could be every morning if you'd-" Paulina was then interrupted when her cell phone rang on the kitchen table. She went over and picked it up. "Good morning girl." Paulina spoke in a cheery tone, Danny's eyes focused back on that bacon on the counter. He licked his lips in anticipation, he shot Paulina one last glance before easing his way over there. Paulina was conversing with Star until she turned around and saw Danny reaching for the food again. "HEY!" Danny decided to risk it all grabbing one and made a mad dash upstairs chomping on the tasty strip of bacon. Paulina hot in pursuit, Danny tripped over one of the steps and turned to face his attacker who was standing over him. He swallowed it and was satisfied, the taste was well worth the beating that followed.
"I couldn't help myself, what do you want from me!?" Danny said as Paulina descended upon him. Her fingers gliding up his chest, with a seductive smile that made Danny nervous.
"Hmmm... How about a date, you and me, tonight." Paulina purred, Danny crossed his arms and raised an eyebrow.
"I know your game Paulina, it won't make my mind up any faster." Danny said noticing the kisses she was giving him. Paulina smirked which didn't make Danny feel any better. She rose and put her hands on her hips.
"Oh? So I guess I'll be eating breakfast by myself then?" Paulina asked with innocence in her tone. Danny faltered and got up after her. He reached for her pulling her close to him in desperation.
"Okay you win, I'll do what you want." Danny said giving in, Paulina twisted in his embrace and pecked his cheek sweetly.
"That's a good ghost boy" Paulina said unmuting Star and getting back to their conversation. Danny walked behind her grumbling how she wasn't playing fair.
Meanwhile in the ghost zone Plasmius was in the no man's land part where Grimera and her hive resided. The mayor was tired of the waiting game Grimera was playing and decided to take matters in his own hands. Seeing as how the odds of them pulling out a victory were slim he figured he'd might as well transition to the winning side. Without being controlled that it, he came to a what looked like a prison facility built around Grimera's holding cell. Five of Walker's guards approached him calmly.
"State your business here." The one in front ordered, Vlad gave a coy smile.
"Ah I'm just here to have a word with Grimera as all. Some interrogation as you say, deputy Walker sent me." Plasmius spoke in a persuasive tone, the guards exchanged glances before they stepped aside two of the policemen leading Vlad through the gates. Inside he saw how the jail was similar to Walker's original one. The only difference was it was completely silent. The ghosts that had been turned stood idly in front of their bars. Staring blankly off in the distance as if they were waiting. They went up some stairs passing some of the cells until they got into an elevator. One of the policeman pressing the fourth floor. They went up and the door opened behind them. Turning around they stepped out and into a room where nothing but policeman were found guarding a door.
Vlad and the two policemen stopped in front of the others. The policemen exchanged nods before the one that was guarding the door took his glove off and placed his hand on a fingerprint scanner. The door then slid open followed by another one then another and another then another. Until the last door opened revealing Grimera in the prison Clockwork created. Vlad lifted a hand signaling the guards to leave them to which they obliged. Once the door was closed, Grimera opened her eyes and studied the half ghost.
"A pleasure to finally meet you my dear." Plasmius said with a crooked grin, Grimera tilted her head to the side examining him.
"Why have you come here? You are no fool you know my power goes beyond that of this prison." Grimera spoke watching the blue ghost get closer to her.
"I came to see if I could strike a deal with you. I know you have a plan, a mandate to be exact and I would like to be included in that." Vlad haggled, Grimera scoffed the nerve of a ghost lesser than her.
"You will be apart of it, you will destroy the earth and once that task is completed I will kill you..." Grimera said darkly, Plasmius merely dusted his shoulders not being intimidated at all by her threat.
"Let me throw my deal on the table then." Vlad said crossing his arms and wearing a mischievous smile. "I know of the ghost you wish to use to relieve you of your current legacy. Empower me with your strength, the only catch is I wish to maintain my reason. Then I shall bring the boy to you and be of any service to you until said doomsday comes..." Vlad bargained, Grimera looked to be in deep thought before grunting.
"You are of no importance to me seeing as I will have him either way. But I assume using you as my tool will speed up the process, very well." Grimera said raising her hand, Vlad took a step back growling.
"Wait we need to work out the details!" Plasmius said before a purple beam hit him in his chest. 'You're a half ghost as well?! Your heart is dark, more fitting for the role than my prince. Hehehe this is perfect, your wickedness will be your demise traitor.' Grimera cackled as she ended her communication with Plasmius. Who dropped to his knees and grabbed his face. His veins popped out of his forehead and neck as he opened his eyes. A dark purple glowed fiercely as he stood.
"Bring my former prince to me, he is still needed to perform the ceremony." Grimera ordered however with his newfound power Plasmius flailed his cape at her.
"I'm afraid that'll have to wait my sweet, for right now I have a few loose strings I need to tie up." Vlad said going toward the door, he raised his hand that glowed dark pink and blasted it. Policemen stood in front of the now blasted door staring at Plasmius. "Where's that fool of time Clockwork..."
Down in the snowy area where Frostbite and his people resided. The leader of the yeti like people was in front of Skulker who was telling them of Grimera's destruction of the world. Skulker now in charge of getting an army ready for the battle to be had. Frostbite and his people more than happy to assist the other ghosts. Since in reality it concerned them as well. Frostbite had wanted to speak to the famed hero Danny Phantom. Knowing that the hero was more than likely involved in the conflict. Skulker was more than happy to oblige. Frostbite and two of his guards boarded his ghost craft and were off toward Danny's location.
It was only until Skulker saw the prison that was holding Grimera was smoking in the center. He stopped his ship and eyed the jail center. He thought he should go investigate but then again if Grimera was free it'd probably be best to go get reinforcements. He continued on toward the exit of the ghost zone not after he got finished warning Walker that the prison had been breached. However not even two minutes passed before his ship rocked as if it had been hit. Skulker cursed under his breath praying it wasn't one of Grimera's henchmen. Frostbite rose along with his men and gripped his fist.
"Me and my brothers haven't seen combat in a while so this'll really get the blood pumping." Frostbite said with a grin, Skulker nodded before heading out into the ghost zone. He let out a breath of relief when he saw Plasmius not noticing the color of his eyes.
"Plasmius what's going on? Why'd you-ARRGH!" Skulker shouted as he was blasted back into his ship. Frostbite and his men jumped out of the way and blasted the unknown ghost with their ice powers to which Plasmius dodged.
"You pathetic barbarians need to get out of my way." Plasmius spoke before blasting them as well. Frostbite ducked under the blast meant for him but his guards weren't as lucky. Frostbite's hands emulated an ice blue aura around them ad he growled at the ghost.
"Meet your end if you dare..." Frostbite snarled, Plasmius smirked getting ready to charge him.
"Imbecile I'll vaporize you!" Plasmius scoffed but before he could take off he was hit by a missile. Frostbite looked over his shoulder to see Skulker with his wrist rocket smoking. The ghost gritted his teeth ash marks on his chest plates.
"You're gonna pay for that one Plasmius..." Skulker muttered as he saw Plasmius rebound in the air. Skulker then glanced at Frostbite. "He's being controlled by Grimera, we must destroy him." Skulker stated, Frostbite nodded in agreement. Skulker then activated his jet wings and took off going high in the air. Frostbite jumped off going under the half ghost. Plasmius grinned mischievously. He focused his attention on Frostbite hurling a bombardment of blasts his way. Skulker stopped mid air before both his wrist rockets were activated. A barrage of rockets flying toward Plasmius. Frostbite dodged the blasts and charged Plasmius with cold claws cocked back ready to strike. Plasmius stood idly as if he wanted to be struck.
Right when the rockets and Frostbite's claw connected with Plasmius a pink sphere erupted from his being. Frostbite was thrown back by the explosions and collision of the sphere. Skulker grunted in frustration as Plasmius came out of the explosion unscathed. Said half ghost smirked with confidence, knowing that this was his victory. Skulker however had other plans, soaring with a vengeance after him. He fired more rockets following closely behind them.
"Fool! Come and I'll show you the light!" Plasmius shouted as the missiles connected but his sphere destroyed them on impact. Letting the sphere go Skulker appeared above the smoke and cold clocked him in the jaw sending him backward.
"You're not being controlled by Grimera! You've just got your powers enhanced! Plasmius I should've known you'd side with pure hatred!" Skulker accuses him, Plasmius caught himself mid air before chuckling evilly.
"You're not as incompetent as I thought Skulker way to make the connection." He spoke as a purple aura surrounded him. "Too bad you won't live long enough to tell the tale." Plasmius spoke before flying in high speeds after him. He delivered a gut busting punch before blasting him into his own ship. He then lifted his hand and charged it before destroying the ship. He looked over his handiwork with pride. "I am now Plasmius the Great!" He announced as he flew freely looking for a certain Father.
Back at Paulina's home Danny was covered in her kisses and was ready to go. She had been showing him affection all day. He knew that she really wanted or rather needed him. However he knew he had to go and make sure Tucker was okay. He also wanted to go and see if any of Grimera's henchmen were out and causing a ruckus. So after a good breakfast, he told her he would text her about going somewhere for a date or something. Much to her disappointment, he got in his car and started the engine. He took off back home and stopped by Tucker's home to see if he was there. And much to his surprise he was.
"Hey I'm outside." He said over the phone, Tucker said he was coming and he hums up the phone. Danny stepped out out of the car and waited patiently. He felt like something was off or wasn't right. He observed the area and his ghost sense didn't go off. He ignored the thought as Tucker came out the house in some red plaid pajama pants and white t shirt. He came to the car and gave Danny a little handshake they made up.
"Dude! When I tell you last night was crazy. Last night was wild!" Tucker exclaimed, Danny shook his head sheepishly. "Dude I totally scored all those girls numbers. They were fighting over who would take me on a date!"
"They were drunk Tuck." Danny teased, Tucker shot him a look and crossed his arms.
"Not at first, either way I still scored because we will be the talk around the school tomorrow I guarantee it. Especially your man Dash, he's gonna be mad that the new star in town Danny Fenton totally stole his girl away from him!" Tucker said, Danny rolled his eyes and looked away.
"That's not his girl, he's the one that wanted to make a scene." Danny spoke, Tucker shrugged.
"True, but tell me what went on at Paulina's, I know you didn't go home last night." Tucker said elbowing his best friend. Danny grinned and gave a little chuckle.
"I stayed over and we even slept in the same bed-"
"Whoa you're not telling me that you-"
"Of course not, she's lonely Tucker. She doesn't have anybody, and I'm still wondering if she chose me because I'm Phantom." Danny explained as he leaned against his car. Tucker rubbed the back of his neck thinking seriously.
"I don't really know if it's real or not dude. I'd say give it a shot because you'd rather know the truth. Rather than to move on and always wonder what if." Tucker said seriously, Danny nodded in understanding.
"I don't know, it's just a lot is going on you know. Even if I wanted to, I don't think taking things to the next level would be appropriate." Danny said, Tucker tilted his head side to side.
"It's what you make it man that's all I'll say." Tucker spoke his peace, Danny moaned.
"I know it's just all a lot you know." Danny said, he then thought to his other friend. "What about you and Sam. I know you two left off on a sour note but I know you still have feelings for each other." Tucker sighed as he put his hands in his pocket.
"With that dude, I don't even know. You know how she is, she's hot and cold. She'll probably be mad once she hears about last night. Though I don't want to be waiting around wondering when she'll come back just to push me away again." Tucker said, Danny agreed silently looking off in space.
"Well I hope you guys find peace or reach an agreement. Or get back together and live happily ever after." Danny said with a smile, Tucker laughed playfully pushing him.
"Yeah I hope so too" Tucker said, that was when Danny's ghost sense went off. Him and Tucker looked to the sky to see Plasmius with purple eyes.
"Why hello young Daniel..." He said, Danny clenched his fists as he got off the car.
"Oh no..."
