Ughhhhhhhhhh! So, this chapter been giving me a couple problems trying to plan out. Especially after how I ended my last one. But I've come up with something and I hope you enjoy it. Also, you're gonna get some more of Sasha singing and another surprise. The regular text is Sasha singing the italic singing is a surprise I'm sure you guys will be able to figure out. So, let's get onto the chapter. I don't own anything. Danny Phantom belongs to Nick. Enjoy!

Songs featured in this chapter in order of appearance:
"Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen
"Suddenly Seymour" from Little Shop of Horrors


New Friends and Old Enemies

Sasha let out a groan as she threw her pencil down onto her songwriting notebook. She'd been focusing on writing songs for Nova Super's first album ever since Danny asked her those few questions. In reality, Sasha had been avoiding him because of that. The scene kept replaying in her brain. The tightening in her chest as Danny waited for her to answer. Sasha stumbling over the sounds coming from her mouth before saying goodnight and hurriedly heading inside her house, slamming the door in Danny's face. It was hard dealing with it at school, having Danny always looking at her with curious eyes while trying to avoid any conversation that might bring the questions back up. She'd been staying after school to avoid the eventual confrontation. The chorus room quickly became her sanctuary, allowing Sasha to lose herself in music. Sam questioned her at first, wondering why she was skipping out on their after school hang outs but once Sasha made up the excuse that it was for Nova then Sam simply nodded and didn't question it again. And it was true, she was working on music for Nova, she just couldn't think of anything at the moment. No matter how many different cords she tried on her guitar nothing sounded good enough to match the lyrics she'd come up with. Setting her guitar aside Sasha got up from her chair to search through her backpack for her Ipod. If she couldn't think of anything herself then at least she could get inspiration from other songs. Once her iPod was in her hand Sasha located her playlist titled "Musical Masterpieces" and put it on shuffle. Setting the iPod down on the chorus room's piano Sasha walked around the room. A smile spread across her face as "Bohemian Rhapsody" started to play. For a while, Sasha just savored in the song but as soon as the electric guitar started to play she began to dance around the room, fully into the song.

"So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye?
So you think you can love me and leave me to die?
Oh, baby, can't do this to me, baby!
Just gotta get out, just gotta get right outta here!" Sasha sang along.

Now she was full on jamming out, lost in the song, lost in her own little world, here in the chorus room at Casper High. In that moment, there were no worrisome questions to avoid or ghost. It was just her and the music. As the song drew to its end Sasha sank down onto a row of chorus chairs, singing out the last lines.

"Nothing really matters, anyone can see
Nothing really matters
Nothing really matters to me
Any way the wind blows," she finished.

A single applause echoed throughout the room, causing Sasha to sit up from her position and looked around in alarm. Standing right by the door was a boy with shining black hair that was swooped upwards and black eyes that shone well in the poor lighting. The light smirk on his face caused Sasha's face to redden in embarrassment.

"That was quite impressive," the boy commented.

"I thought nobody used the chorus room after school," Sasha said, confused as to why someone walked in.

"It's not until the spring semester when the school musical practices in here," he told her. "I was just passing by when I heard music coming from here and became curious."

"And when you saw me embarrassingly jamming out by myself you decided to stick around?" Sasha asked becoming defensive.

"Actually it was your singing that made me stick around. You're really good," he replied.

Sasha paused, shocked by what he said. "Uh… thank you," she eventually said.

"We could really use you for the spring musical. Our best singer graduated last year and Lancer has been worried about finding a good enough replacement," the boy told her.

"I don't even know your name and you're asking me to audition for a musical that isn't happening until next semester? That's awfully forward of you," Sasha commented.

"Xavier Torres," the boy introduced herself.

"Sasha Lucas," Sasha introduced in return.

"The nurse's daughter?" Xavier asked.

Sasha smiled. She'd never been known as the nurse's daughter before. It was always the freak, the ghost girl, the menace. It was nice to hear that those around here knew her as the nurse's daughter. It was the most normal thing she'd had in a while. "Yeah, that's right," she replied. "Even after the introductions though I'm not sure if you'd even want me auditioning. You've only heard me sing along to hits, no songs from musicals."

"Well, we can see if you'll be good at that right now," Xavier said and sat down at the piano. "You know any songs?"

"Not really, the only musical I've ever seen is Little Shop of Horrors," Sasha admitted.

Xavier looked at her, taken aback a bit. "Okay, it's not horrible. Little Shop of Horrors is a great show but that's it? God, if you nail this then I need to introduce you to more musicals than that," he said. "You remember any song from that in particular?"

"'Suddenly Seymour' was always my favorite," Sasha answered.

"A duet, good choice. Looks like I'm gonna get a bit of practice myself," Xavier smiled and then started playing. Sasha headed over to the piano herself, listening to the music and trying to recollect the lyrics.

"Lift up your head, wash off your mascara
Here, take my Kleenex, wipe that lipstick away
Show me your face clean as the mornin'
I know things were bad but now they're okay

Suddenly Seymour is standing beside you
You don't need no makeup, don't have to pretend
Suddenly Seymour, is here to provide you
Sweet understanding, Seymour's your friend,"
Xavier sang.

"Nobody ever treated me kindly
Daddy left early, mamma was poor
I'd meet a man and I'd follow him blindly
He'd snap his fingers, me, I'd say 'Sure'

Suddenly Seymour is standing beside me
He don't give me orders, he don't condescend
Suddenly Seymour is here to provide me
Sweet understanding, Seymour's my friend," Sasha joined in.

Xavier smiled happily at Sasha, pleased to find that her singing abilities didn't skip over musical songs. He was already plotting to teach her everything he knew about musicals and convince her to try out for the spring show. Sasha herself was smiling, finding that Xavier was a pretty good singer himself. She'd never been able to really sing with someone else before and right now she was really enjoying it.

"Tell me this feeling lasts till forever
Tell me the bad times are clean washed away"

"Please understand that it's still strange and frightening
For loser like I've been it's so hard to say"

"Suddenly, Seymour
(Suddenly Seymour)
He purified me
(He purified you)
Suddenly, Seymour
(Suddenly Seymour)
Showed me I can
(Yes, you can)
Learn how to be more
The girl that's inside me(you)

With sweet understanding
With sweet understanding
With sweet understanding
With sweet understanding"

"With sweet understanding
Seymour's my(your) man" Sasha and Xavier finished together.

Once again Xavier broke out into a single applause except this time Sasha didn't blush in embarrassment.

"That was really good," he complimented.

"You weren't bad yourself," Sasha smiled.

"Now you need to audition when the spring musical rolls around," Xavier told her.

"I… I'm not sure," Sasha said. Sure, this duet was fun but there was so much going on in her life between being Sasha Shadow and Nova Super that Sasha wasn't sure that she'd be able to add a musical to her already busy schedule. Xavier frowned for a moment before shrugging it off.

"Tell you what, why don't you just think about it. Auditions are a while away still and until then you and I can hang out and strengthen that voice of yours in case you decide that you want to. How about, every Tuesday or so. Plus, this will allow me to introduce you to more musicals," Xavier offered.

"One duet and you want to spend every Tuesday with me?" Sasha teased.

"What can I say, I appreciate a great voice," Xavier shrugged.

"Fine," Sasha agreed. "Tuesdays it is then."

"Great!" Xavier smiled. "Now while we're here maybe we can…"

Sasha's phone interrupted him as her ringtone sounded out. She hurriedly pulled it out of her pocket and saw that Sam was calling her.

"Sam? What's going on?" Sasha answered the phone.

"Sasha, there's ghosts, like a butt ton of ghosts! They're invading the town!" Sam told her.

"Shit, okay, I'll be over as quick as I can," Sasha told Sam and then hung up. She hurriedly began to pack up her stuff. "Sorry, Xavier, my friend really needs me right now. I guess I'll see you on Tuesday."

o

Last night was awful. She and Danny did their best in trying to take down as many ghosts as they could but there was just too many. They were truly taking over the city. Not even Sasha's experience could help them with this. The next day at school everyone was ushered into the auditorium where Principal Ishiyama and the Mayor were.

"Now, I know you kids are scared because ghosts are scary scary things," the Mayor said though no one look phased, ghosts had been a thing for a while. This time there was just more of them. "But I came to your school, not because this is a great photo opportunity but because you children are out future… voters. And now, I'd like to turn this over to Principal Ishiyama, who's here to inform you of some exciting rules and restrictions."

"This is going to end badly," Danny whispered to his friends as the principal took over the podium.

"Due to the continuing and escalating ghost threat, here's the way we're going to limit your freedom," she came right out to say. "One: Students are to have no contact with these spirits. Two: All students will be escorted directly to their homes after school. And three: By order of the Mayor's new security advisor, a nine o'clock curfew."

"A curfew?!" Sam exclaimed.

"An escort!?" Tucker joined in.

"Okay, who's the idiot security advisor that came up with those lame ideas?" Danny questioned.

Right on cue Jack and Maddie Fenton came bursting through the doors, each of them holding some type of ghost hunting equipment and a megaphone. Danny immediately winced.

"Fear not, young ones. We're here to make sure this school is prepared for any ghost emergency," Jack assured them.

"You must be cautious. At any time one of these ectoplasmic malefactors… Hi, sweetie!" Maddie smiled at Danny before going back to addressing the crowd. "… could appear out of nowhere."

"Man, that's rough buddy," Sasha said to Danny.

"Time to sit in the back where nobody can notice us?" Danny suggested.

"Time to sit in the back where nobody can notice us," the others agreed.

Before they had time to move from their seats Danny and Sasha's ghost senses went off. The two looked around nervously trying to spoke where the ghost, or ghosts in this case, would appear. What did appear was a werewolf type ghost, springing on stage and frightening everyone. Students and adults ran all over the place, causing more chaos as other ghosts appeared. Danny and Sasha tried to stick together while everyone else ran out of the room, trying to escape. In all the chaos though it was difficult for either of them to transform as there were too many people around to see them. Plus, with their ghost senses going off constantly it was hard for both of them to pay full attention.

"There's so many ghosts in here, my ghost sense is going crazy," Danny complained.

Not much longer after Danny said that, the werewolf ghost from before grabbed Danny and held him down.

"Servi!" the ghost growled.

"Danny!" Sasha exclaimed.

"Get away from him!" Maddie Fenton shouted and then blasted the ghost away from her son.

"Are you alright?" Sasha asked, helping Danny to his feet.

"I'm fine. It looks like that ghost wolf might be the cause of all of this," Danny answered and looked towards where the ghost disappeared.

"Then we should go after it then," Sasha decided.

Danny nodded in agreement and the two ran out, trying to follow after the wolf ghost. They were stopped however when they ran into Mr. Lancer who then pushed them into a safe room with all the other students. Danny and Sasha let out a groan of annoyance, frustrated that they wouldn't be able to do anything trapped inside the room.

"Sasha!" Xavier shouted over to her, causing both Sasha and Danny to turn and look at him. Seeing that she spotted him Xavier waved to her.

"Xavier, hey!" Sasha waved back.

"Who's he?" Danny asked.

"Xavier? He's just a new friend," Sasha answered.

"Does he know about you?" Danny questioned.

"About my ghost side? Of course not, that's not something I reveal to anyone," Sasha replied.

"Yeah, it seems like even your closest friends don't know much about you," Danny commented, irritation in his voice.

"Are you really gonna do this now?" Sasha asked, annoyance beginning to rise into her own voice.

"You've been ignoring me for a week, Sasha. Is one question all that it takes to push you away from people?"

"That question is asking a lot from me, Danny. I would hope that you of all people would understand that. But if you can't then fine. You're not the only friend I have," Sasha replied and then stormed off towards Xavier. At least he wouldn't ask questions about that part of her.

o

The general sense of uneasiness in the air was only getting worse. With all the limitations placed, the ghosts flying around, and the only two ghosts on the towns sides pissed at each other, things weren't feeling that great. Sam and Tucker especially felt on edge as although Sasha and Danny were pissed at each other they were still hanging around each other. The situation they were currently in wasn't like their fight regarding the Fright Knight. No, this time there was a bigger issue. Both knew they'd have to tackle the ghost invasion together if they wanted to stop it. Which would explain why Sasha was sitting with them at lunch instead of going off and finding Xavier. Still didn't mean either was happy about it though. As soon as they sat down Danny's parents were there in an instant to protect them with the help of the RV which put up an anti-ghost shield around the lunch area.

"This portable ghost shield only had enough power for fifteen minutes, so chew! Chew like the wind!" Jack shouted at everyone.

"Danny, you okay?" Sam asked, looking over at her friend a bit worried.

"Why would I not be? Just because the town's on high alert and my parents are at my school. And one of my best friends is being a jerk," Danny said sarcastically. At the last jab, Sasha glared at him, biting down roughly on the carrot stick she was eating to show her own annoyance. "All I knew is as soon as I get five free minutes, I'm gonna toss that blabbering hairball that started this back into the ghost zone!"

"If he doesn't get the jump on you first like he did last time," Sasha muttered to herself, causing Danny to send her his own glare.

"I don't think it was blabbering. I think it was Esperanto," Tucker interrupted, wanting to move the conversation elsewhere.

"Esper-wha-wha?" Sam questioned.

"Esperanto: an artificial language from the 1800s. Now its only purpose is to give geeks a secret language to talk to other geeks," Tucker explained.

"And you're fluent? But you don't really talk to anyone besides us," Sasha teased.

"Of course I'm fluent," his voice cracked.

"Then tell us, what was he saying," Sasha asked him to do.

"I… I actually couldn't tell what that ghost was screaming," Tucker admitted, a light blush of embarrassment appearing on his face. "But he looked scared. Like he wanted help."

At that moment, Danny and Sasha's ghost senses went off and the two looked around frantically to try and locate the source. "Oh no. Here? Again?" Danny complained.

"But we're chewing like the wind inside an anti-ghost zone. Where could the ghost be?" Tucker questioned. The exploding of the RV behind them clued the four in to where the ghost was located.

"Survey say, behind us," Sam pointed out.

They turned to see that it was the ghost from before who caused the RV to explode, causing the shield to come down. As more ghosts invaded the area Sasha noticed that as the wolf ghost tried to run away from the scene the collar that he was wearing shocked him, stopping him to doing so. Looking around she could see that a ghost wearing an eyepatch was the one with a remote, shocking the wolf. She was about to point this out to her friends but Danny pulled her away so that they could go transform and try to take care of the situation.

"If anybody asked where we are, lie," Danny instructed Tucker and Sam.

Sasha rolled her eyes, annoyed that she wasn't able to tell the others but went along with him. They hid behind a tree and then transformed into their ghost forms. Instantly they went after the eye patch ghost and the police ghost cronies of his.

"Wait, so aren't these that other ghost's lackeys? The one you were telling me about. Walker wasn't it?" Sasha tried to remember.

"Yeah," Danny answered. As they fought off ghosts the two of them noticed that the eyepatch ghost shot the wolf ghost with a laser gun. "You're big, you're hairy, and you're a ghost. But if Walker's goons are after you, you can't be all bad."

Feeling sorry for the ghost wolf and hoping to make an ally, Danny and Sasha went to work. Danny managed to get the wolf away from the laser gun while Sasha focused on Eyepatch. Eyepatch was doubly surprised by not only Danny coming to Wulf's rescue but also because Sasha hit him with an ectoblast causing him to fly backward. Sasha looked back for a minute to see that Danny developed at least a truce with Wulf. She headed down to ask what they were gonna do now but before she could say anything Jack interrupted her.

"Alright nobody move!" he exclaimed and pulled out a very tangled Fenton Fisher. "As soon as I get this thing untangled, you three beasties are going down."

"Don't worry. He's not much of a threat," Danny assured Wulf.

"If his mom was here then we'd be in trouble," Sasha added. As if on cue a targeting laser appeared on Wulf's head.

"Vere," the ghost said.

Hurrying before Maddie blasted Wulf and the rest of them up Danny and Sasha took Wulf and began to fly him away from the scene. If they were going to figure out what was going on than they needed a safe place to question Wulf.

o

The safe place the two ended up taking Wulf was Tucker's house, much to Tucker's dismay.

"I think this is a really bad idea," Tucker complained.

"Well, he can't stay at Danny's house with it being Ghostkateer central. And my place is too close to the craziness," Sasha pointed out.

"Besides you're the only one of us who sort of understands him," Danny pointed out. "I gotta go get my Fenton Thermos out of my locker. In the meantime, see if you can find out what Walker's up to."

"And this is why I like my small containment attachment. It's always in my pocket so I never forget it," Sasha smiled smugly. Danny glared at Sasha before flying through the roof, leaving them to deal with Wulf.

"So, what's Walker up to? Kiel estas Walker?" Tucker asked Wulf. Once he replied Tucker started laughing a hint of nervousness in his voice.

"You have no idea what he just said do you?" Sam asked.

"Not a clue," Tucker answered.

"Maybe we should try and get the collar off him then. If we can't understand him then at least we can get the collar off and stop Walker from shocking him," Sasha suggested.

Being the one to take initiative, Sasha walked up to Wulf. Once she touched the collar though Wulf snapped at her, causing Sasha to stumble back and put out a shield of shadows out of instinct, not wanting to get bit. Wulf reeled back himself, scared by her shadow shield.

"Nigra Koro!" Wulf exclaimed, sounding extremely scared.

"What did he say?" Sam asked Tucker.

"He said 'Black Heart'. Huh, wonder what that means," he answered.

Sasha tensed. She instantly dissipated her shadow shield. Her hands shook a little bit as she held out her hands and looked at them. Horror was written across her face as her mind started playing tricks on her. Black veins started spreading across her hands as shadows began to stain her skin. A small scream of fear left Sasha's mouth before she summoned up the light. Instantly the shadows engulfing her hands disappeared. This caused the others to jump. Sam and Tucker stared at her worried while Wulf looked watched her, a bit less scared than he was but still felt unease around Sasha, uncertain what to think of the ghost girl.

"Sasha, are you alright?" Sam asked, walking over to her friend to make sure that she was alright.

"I… I… I'm sorry, I need to go home," she apologized, her breathing a bit panicked.

Tucker and Sam watched as Sasha jetted out of Tucker's house. Beads of tears formed in her eyes and Sasha hurriedly flew home, not caring about the other ghosts lurking around. Panic had started building, waiting to explode. When she finally arrived at her house the tears started falling. She didn't care though, what she wanted the most was her mom. She found her instantly, her mother sitting in the living room, working on some ghost tech that could help keep the invading ghosts at bay. Her mother was surprised and let out a small groan as Sasha flung herself into her mom's embrace, transforming out of her ghost form.

"Sasha! What's wrong?!" she asked concerned, noticing her daughter sobbing into her shoulder.

"The shadows started spreading over my hands. They started taking over," Sasha cried. Her mother's arms instantly wrapped around Sasha, hugging her closely.

"Oh, Sasha. Oh, honey. It's alright, you're safe. You're safe. You're in control. You're safe. He's not here. He can't hurt you. You're safe," her mom whispered into her hair, trying to calm her daughter down.

But Zoey knew that it would take more than assuring words. When Sasha got like this it would always take a full night for her to be alright again. For the most part. All Zoey could do was hold onto her daughter and let her cry, assuring her that she was safe. And eventually the tears would exhaust her and Sasha would fall into a nice deep sleep, where her continuing nightmares wouldn't be able to follow her.

o

It was the sunlight coming in through her bedroom window the next morning that woke Sasha up. The girl let out a groan as she stretched. She was a bit surprised to find herself in her room, not thinking that her mom was still able to carry her. That wasn't the only thing that confused her however as the light coming in had a green glow to it. Walking over to her window Sasha looked out and saw that the Fenton's had put up an anti-ghost shield which managed to cover their house and the Lucas's.

"That's gonna be a problem when I have to leave," Sasha muttered to herself.

She discovered another problem when Sasha caught a glimpse of herself in the window reflection. She grimaced. Sasha was about to go clean herself up when she heard her name being called. Looking back outside her window Sasha spotted Danny, Sam, and Tucker looked at her from Danny's window, opposite of her own. Concern etched across their faces once they spotted her. Her typical wavy brown hair was a mess, her clothes disheveled, but what concerned them the most was her puffy red eyes and the dark bags that hung underneath them. Sasha winced as soon as she noticed her friends' reactions. She wanted nothing more than to go hide underneath her blankets but she knew that would just make them worry more. So instead she opened her window to talk to them.

"Hey guys, what's up?" she asked.

"Sasha… are you okay?" Danny asked. It was the first time in a past few days that he forgot that they were fighting, that he was mad at Sasha for ignoring him. Now, looking at her, seeing that something was clearly wrong made him push those previous things aside.

"I'm fine," she tried to push aside. "Just had a rough night."

"Is this because of what Wulf said last night?" Sam asked.

"Wulf? What did he say?" Danny questioned.

"Can we move past this? We have more important things to worry about than Wulf's gibbering. Especially when they have nothing to do with what Walker is planning," Sasha interrupted, desperately trying to move away from what Wulf said. The trio on the other side exchanged looked before turning back to Sasha.

"I'm guessing you haven't seen the news," Tucker replied.

"No," Sasha answered.

"Walker is possessing the Mayor and not only did he give all policing and security decisions to my dad but he's blaming all of the ghosts invading on me," Danny caught her up.

"So, what's the plan then?" Sasha asked.

"We need to stop Walker and his goons from possessing people and try to get the town on our side," Danny explained.

"Then you better shut down the anti-ghost shield. We've got work to do," Sasha told him and then transformed into her ghost self, erasing all the tiredness she felt and looked for the moment.

o

"Order! Order! All in favor of declaring martial law, and allowing the completely competent Jack Fenton to mobilize a massive ghost hunt, please say," the Walker possessed Mayor tried to tell the town. But he didn't get to finish as Sasha and Danny came flying down through the ceiling.

"I might be too you to vote, but I'm casting one anyway!" Danny interrupted.

"You people have to listen to us. We're on your side," Sasha begged everybody.

"You're not fooling anybody, ghost kids! You are going down!" Jack yelled at them and pulled out a still tangled Fenton Fisher. "As soon as I untangle this thing!"

Danny turned to Sasha to ask her a quick question. "What's the likelihood that my parents are possessed?"

"I'd say slim," she answered.

"Great," Danny muttered sarcastically.

The two were interrupted as Maddie Fenton fired a laser at them. They dodged, hiding behind a bench for cover as the crowd full of people headed into a panic, hurriedly trying to exit the building. Danny was soon pulled through the ground however by the possessed Mayor, pulling him into the basement of the town hall.

"Help! The Ghost Boy is kidnapping me!" the possessed Mayor shouted before the two completely disappeared underground.

Sasha flew after them into the basement and discovered Danny fighting off several possessed people while trying to reach his thermos. Luckily for Danny, Wulf had also come to the rescue, taking care of the ghosts possessing Dash and Principal Ishiyama, returning them back to normal and causing their bodies to sink to the ground unconscious. It was when Walker, possessing the Mayor tried to attack Danny once more that Sasha was able to step in and help.

"Not so fast Walker!" Sasha exclaimed and sent an ectoblast at the Mayor, flinging Walker out of his body and knocking the Mayor unconscious. Pissed off Walker went to attack her instead but Sasha called up some shadows to help her out in the fight. This caused Walker to back away quite a bit.

"Those shadows… I've only ever known one ghost who could control shadows like that," Walker said, sounding a bit scared. "I can't believe the rumors are true. I never thought that Black Heart would take an apprentice."

Sasha tensed. Just thinking about him made Sasha want to go running back to her mom like she did the previous night. But she couldn't. Not when she had to help defend the town from the ghost in front of her. And she had an advantage. Walker was scared. He was scared of Black Heart and in turn her. Sasha straightened up, trying to look intimidating.

"So you've met him then, huh? You were foolish enough to cross his path?" Sasha chuckled darkly. "Tell me, did you try and lock him up in your silly little prison. That must have gone well. I'm surprised you escaped with whatever life you might have. Seeing as you've met him then you know it's not in your best interest to mess with him or those associated with him."

Playing into the dark persona she was sending out Sasha commanded the shadows to wrap around Walker, slowly trying to consume him. The ghost let out a shout of terror before repeating "No" over and over again. With her target secured Sasha took aim with her containment unit.

"Goodbye, Walker. I hope you learned not to mess with me or my friends again," Sasha threatened.

In one swift movement, Sasha sucked Walker, screaming, into her containment unit. Relieved that the threat was gone, Sasha let out a shaky breath, her body sagging a bit. She looked back to check on how Danny was doing and saw him and Wulf staring at her, Danny in confusion and Wulf in horror. Before she had time to say anything Maddie Fenton popped up with a gun that shot portable ghost portals. She instantly took aim at Danny but it was Wulf who took the shot.

"Wulf! No!" Danny exclaimed.

"Friend! We'll meet again," Wulf spoke in English to Danny. He glanced worryingly at Sasha before disappearing into the Ghost Zone.

Sasha grabbed hold of Danny's hand and flew them out of the basement and away from town hall. If there was one thing she knew about his mom is that given a second shot she wouldn't miss. To keep them safe she dragged them up onto the roof of her house where they both transform back into their human selves. Away from the chaos, Danny looked at Sasha.

"What… what happened back there? What was Walker talking about? Who's Black Heart? And why were you acting like a whole other person when Walker mentioned him," he questioned. "Sasha, I need answers."

"I can't give you any," Sasha told him, wanting to flee into her bedroom.

"You can't or you won't? Is this just gonna be like the questions I asked you about how you became a ghost? Are you just gonna ignore these too? Darn it, Sasha, at least tell me about Black Heart and why Walker is so scared of him," Danny demanded.

"I… I…," Sasha stuttered as her body began to shake, panic rising fast. "It's too much."

Anger turned to worry once again which only increased as Sasha sank to her knees. Her breathing started becoming erratic as she closed her eyes and tried desperately to calm herself down to no success. Danny met her down on the ground, gently taking hold of her shoulders.

"Woah, hey! Hey, breathe. Sasha, breathe," Danny instructed. Trying to listen to him, Sasha grabbed hold of Danny's arms to help anchor herself and focused on his own breathing to try and regulate her own. It took a while but they eventually got her breathing back to normal, semi-calming Sasha down. After seeing how violently she reacted after he confronted her, Danny felt bad. "I'm sorry. I didn't think my questions would upset you so much."

"I'm sorry, too," Sasha apologized. "I shouldn't have started ignoring you just because you started asking questions I don't like. It was immature of me. I'm sorry. But, Danny, you have to understand. Those questions… they're hard for me to talk about. They deal with the most miserable, horrible things that happened in my life. Some that still give me panic attacks."

"Wow, I… never knew it could be that bad," Danny said.

"Well, I hadn't really given you an explanation for you to understand," Sasha replied.

"But I do now. Even if it did take a while," Danny joked. A small laugh escaped Sasha's mouth, causing a slight smile to appear on his own face.

"Thank you, Danny," Sasha replied.

Happy with where their conversation went Sasha went to stand up but stumbled a bit, exhausted by not only the fighting from earlier but the emotional rollercoaster that her and Danny just experienced. Danny was quick to catch her.

"Looks like you need some rest," he said. Picking Sasha up in her arms Danny flew her down to her room and placed Sasha on her bed. "Get some sleep. Oh, and Sasha, any time you want to talk to me, I'll be here to listen. I might not have the sweets that you do but I'll be there"

"Will do, Danny," Sasha smiled and then settled into bed.

The ghost boy took one last glance at his friend and then flew over to his house, happy that their fight ended with more understanding.


Thanks for reading. Be sure to leave me a review and a crazy "So Tell Me About Yourself" answer. And be sure to check out my profile for character designs and my writing schedule.

"So Tell Me About Yourself" is an inside joke between me and my friends which started from my one friend's hatred for the typical getting-to-know-you question "So tell me about yourself". She, being so annoyed with the phrase, gave a silly answer that she murdered people in their sleep. When she brought it back to me and my other friend we both gave a silly answer. That is where the idea for my account name came from.
