Danny walks out of his last class with a minor headache. The other kids had started to talk and just in general make a ruckus so the teacher decided to punish the whole class for it, now they had twice as much homework than normal. How was it fair that everyone had to suffer for a few kids being stupid?

He rounds the last corner to meet up with his friends for the walk home.

Tucker and Sam are already leaning on the wall when he arrives, "I regret not taking all of my gym credits at the beginning of high school."

Sam smiles, "That's what you get for not listening to me. Now you have to do it alone."

Tucker groans, "Sam! Be nice! I have to deal with the lifetime jockeys! Danny save me, my girlfriend is bullying me!"

The halfa raises his hands in surrender, "Hey, even in my ghost form I would tell you 'you're on your own!'"

His friend pouts while said female cackles, "Hey, aside from that, you guys want to go to Nasty Burger?"

Danny frowns while glancing over his shoulder, "I don't know, do we?"

Tucker is looking expectantly at him but the look fades when a voice speaks from thin air, "Sorry guys. I need Danny for a while but you can have him back tomorrow."

The couple nod and they start their trek out of the school while the ghost boy slips away to find somewhere to transform.

"I thought you didn't need anything else today? He whispers.

"I've been thinking and I need some one on one ghost time with you." Her voice is in front of him when she talks.

Finding an empty room, he quickly walks in and closes the door.

"Going Ghost!" White rings shift his clothing into the hazmat suit and the cold comes with it.

Dani drops her invisibility with a fox grin on her face, "You still say that?"

Forcing back the need to blush he points a finger at her, "It's an old habit that pops up sometimes! I'm trying to kick it!"

She starts laughing at him before floating higher, "Let's blow this popsicle stand!"

Still highly embarrassed he follows her through the ceiling and into the sky where he holds out his hand in a 'after you' fashion to which the younger teen zooms off in a direction away from town.

"So where are we headed?" He asks once they reach the urban areas.

She turns to fly backwards from him, "Remember when I asked you what we were?"

He nods, it hand only been a few hours ago.

"Well, I've been thinking about your answer and I know you wanted to take me to meet someone but I couldn't get the question out of my head and I don't want to deal with your family if they detect us so I figured if we talked out of town we would be ok."

He nods and slows down to a stop, "Well we are out of town. So let's talk."

She stops too and floats a little closer, "Alright. Well…" falling silent she starts showing some of the familiar signs of nervousness. He did do them himself after all.

After a few solid very silent moments pass of him waiting for her to speak he finally breaks it, "Has it really been eating at you that much?"

Looking up sharply he sees the uncertainty playing in her eyes. Heaving a sigh he reassures her, "Hey, I just wanna help."

She nods slowly before looking back to the ground far below, "I feel like a freak. I'm not human. I'm not ghost. I never lived a normal life and I never actually died. I'm not even really all me, I'm partially you and that means my thoughts and feelings are warped by your influence. My powers are almost a carbon copy of yours!"

He watches her and waits for her to continue but when all she does is look up at him he realizes she is waiting for him, "You aren't me though. Dani, you're your own person, sure maybe some of the things you do are similar to what I do but think about it this way. Jazz and I do things that are similar all the time."

"Like what?"

He frowns, "Liiike… oh! We both like to put the butter on the bread before putting it in the toaster. Keeps it from going hard."

Dani rolls her eyes, "Ok, that's one thing."

He points a finger at her, "Hey, I was giving you an example."

She crosses her arms, "Yeah, your eating habits don't really count."

"Fine." He throws his hands up, "Fine! Whenever we are in trouble or embarrassed we put our hand near our head, whether that means scratching or moving our hair or-"

"Grabbing the back of your neck." She smiles at him.

Smiling back he continues, "Or grabbing the back of our neck. See, we do things that are similar all the time. But we are still different. Her hygiene routine is different from mine, her feelings are different from mine and maybe you and I are almost the same person." Floating closer he puts his hands on her shoulders, "Buy your Danielle and I'm Daniel. There are tons of ghosts with similar powers."

She stays silent, taking in this information before whispering, "You said that we belong where we decide to make our place."

He nods, not sure where this is going.

"But what if I don't want to decide where I belong? I just want to be accepted for who and what I am."

Danny moves his hands away from her and looks at the city a few miles away from them. That was a hard question because it relied on other people to provide what she wanted. To be accepted others would have to accept you and most of them would never do that.

Looking back at her he sees the tears pool in the corners of her eyes. Feeling bad about the whole thing he opens his arms out to her, offering a hug if she wants one. Unexpectedly she surges forward, pushing him back from the force of her hug. He returns it with the only words he could think of, "I wish I had the answers to give you."

She cries quietly, her body shaking only a little with each ragged breath. It reminded him of how he would do the same thing in his own room. Quietly so not to wake anyone, and no one to comfort him. But just for her he would be there to help. It was the least he could do.

Over time the shaking stops and she backs up enough to wipe her face before separating completely, "Sorry."

He rubs her head, "Don't be. You didn't do anything wrong."

She looks up at him with red rimmed eyes and nods.

They float there in silence, enjoying each other's company for the few moments they had.

Finally Danny smirks at her, "Wanna race back to town?"

She gives him her own foxish smile before dashing off with a burst of speed, "LAST ONE THERE HAS TO EXPLAIN WHY I'M AT YOUR HOUSE!"

Gasping he flies after her at top speed, "HEY, HOW IS THAT FAIR?!"

He only lets her win because she was laughing the whole way home.
