Hey guys! I thought I'd relax on some of the Lucas's heavy backstory involving Blackheart and Sasha's father after the last chapter. Don't worry, you guys will get more of that in the future but not today! I'm gonna try to focus on the plot of this episode while edging in some of my subplots. So, let's get onto the chapter then! I don't own anything. Danny Phantom belongs to Nick. Enjoy!


Begging You For Mercy

Sasha was at her locker switching out her books for her next class when Xavier came running up to her in excitement. She couldn't help but smile at him amused. Xavier always seemed to have this high bubbly energy that Sasha wished she could bottle. He was like an adorable puppy. She was curious as to what got him excited this time.

"Sasha! Sasha!" he exclaimed.

"Xavier! Xavier!" Sasha teased.

"We're gonna need to crack down on our music session today," Xavier told her.

"What brought this on all of the sudden? Our music sessions are supposed to be just for fun," she asked confused.

"But remember why they started? They started so that I could convince you to audition for the spring musical. And guess what's coming up? I have to get you ready," Xavier said.

"The fall semester isn't even over yet. Why would I need to worry about auditions for the spring musical now?" Sasha questioned.

"Because Lancer told me that he's gonna be having auditions before break. He's worried that since we lost a lot of great performers that he's gonna have a hard time casting. Lancer wants to have time for multiple audition days in case he needs them," Xavier explained.

"That sounds extreme," Sasha commented.

"Lancer is extremely committed to making Casper High's theatre program great," Xavier replied.

"I guess he has enough school spirit to do it. But I'm not even sure I'd be able to audition," Sasha said.

"Why? What on earth is stopping you?" Xavier questioned.

"I kinda have this job that keeps me on my feet," Sasha answered vaguely.

"Lots of people who audition have part-time jobs as well and are able to work around it. Heck, practically all employers in Amity Park adjust schedules to allow students to do the school shows because they know how good of one Lancer will put on," Xavier told her.

"That's quite the reputation if the whole town works around it," Sasha commented.

"Lancer only wants the best, and you're clearly one of the best," Xavier replied.

Sasha paused. Even after talking with her mom about auditioning for the school show she was still unsure what her friends would think. How could they be okay with her leaving all the ghost hunting to them while she attended practice? And what would Sam think, seeing as Sasha was already juggling Nova Super with that? She knew that the town was pretty bad at putting two and two together as no one had yet to figure out that Danny and Sasha were actually Phantom and Shadow so hopefully she didn't need to worry about them figuring out that Sasha was Nova Super. But Sam would have a more definitive answer to that. That is if she was okay with Sasha auditioning for the school show.

"I… I'll have to talk to some people to see if it's okay," Sasha informed Xavier.

"That's not a no! So, in the meantime, we're gonna work on your audition song. Lancer let it slip that we're doing Cinderella," Xavier went to plan.

"There's a musical version of Disney's Cinderella?" Sasha questioned.

"No, well probably, but we're gonna be doing the Rodgers and Hammerstein's Cinderella. But maybe auditioning with a Disney song is a good idea… I'll gather some options up for our music session. Be ready to sing your butt off later," Xavier said and then headed off to his next class.

Sasha let out a deep sigh, this was going to be difficult. Pushing all thoughts of bringing up the audition aside she went to go find her friends so that they could walk to their next period together. They met up near the nurse's office, seeing as they could dart in for emergency Team Phantom Shadow meetings if they needed to. Danny, Sam, and Tucker were patiently waiting for her and waved hello when she arrived.

"Hey, guys. Sorry I'm late, Xavier was just talking my ear off about…. Wait, what smells like a gym locker room and white chocolate macadamia nut cookies?" Sasha asked.

"'Foley, by Tucker Foley'," the three of them answered.

"It's Tucker's cologne," Danny explained.

"White chocolate macadamia nut? I thought you hated white chocolate," Sam questioned.

"It's my only exception. Otherwise white chocolate can burn in hell as it is not chocolate," Sasha shrugged. Their conversation about chocolate was interrupted as Danny's ghost sense went off. They looked around and was surprised to see that Paulina was glowing a ghostly glow.

"Uh, is Paulina glowing?" Danny asked.

"I know she's supposed to have flawless skin, but this is ridiculous," Sam commented.

"Auh, I feel terrible and disfigured. Stupid big bite!" Paulina whined.

"Bug bite?" Danny repeated.

"Is she talking about one of the tiny ghost bugs?" Sasha pondered, hoping that wasn't the case.

She was proven correct however as they watched was swarms of ghost bugs started biting people including Jazz, Kwan, Star, and many others causing a mass panic to erupt throughout the school.

"Cover us guys. We're going ghost!" Danny told Sam and Tucker.

Danny and Sasha ducked into the safety of the nurse's office. Ms. Lucas looked up from her work and saw Danny and her daughter transform into their ghost forms. Even though she didn't know what was going on Zoe Lucas began to gather medical supplies together in case needed. When the two phased through the door Sam and Tucker got a good look at Sasha and Danny's new logos that Sam designed as an apology after the Freakshow fiasco. With a ghostly theme, Danny's consisted of a D and P while Sasha's was a combination of two S's. They didn't stay long however as Danny and Sasha separated to capture as many ghost bugs as they could. Swarm after swarm was sucked into the Fenton Thermos and Sasha's containment unit before they met back up with Sam and Tucker.

"I think we got them all," Danny said optimistically.

Just as he said that one of the bugs flew over and bit Sam's arm, phasing into her skin. "Ow!" she exclaimed.

"Except one," Danny revised.

He was once again proven wrong as two swarms passed them by. One chasing after Dash was another went down a hallway looking for more people to bite.

"Or more," Sasha corrected.

Once again her and Danny split up, Danny going after the swarm chasing Dash while Sasha went after the other one. Heading down the hallway she did her best to look for the bugs, but it was when she heard a scream that she was alerted to where they really went. Phasing through a door into a classroom Sasha frowned seeing that the ghost bugs already managed to bite Xavier, as he was holding his arm in pain. It became even more evident as his lower body started glowing like Paulina was before. What was surprising though was when Xavier started to sink. Sasha was quick to fly over, grabbed Xavier, and pulled him up sinking into the floor. She was going to wait until his legs stopped glowing but felt him go a bit limp in her arms.

"Shadow?" Xavier asked weakly before passing out.

Sasha stared down at her friend worried and was about to fly him to her mom when an announcement was made over the intercom.

"Attention everyone! If you or one of your fellow students is feeling ill, please head to the cafeteria for quarantine. It appears a mass illness has been spread around the school," the voice over the intercom instructed.

A frown spread across Sasha's face. She would very much love to take Xavier to the nurse's office for her mother to look at, but it appeared that wasn't going to happen. Transforming back into her human for Sasha transported an unconscious Xavier to the cafeteria.

O

By the time all the infected students were completely quarantined in the cafeteria parents managed to make their way to the school demanding to see their children. Mr. Fuluka stood in front of the doors of the cafeteria, refusing entry to anyone which was only pissing off parents more.

"Why can't we see your children, Mr. Fuluka? This is outrageous, they're sick. They need us," Maddie complained.

"Now, I understand your concern folks, but I have been instructed not to disseminate any information at this time," he replied.

"But you're a teacher. It's your job to disseminate information," Maddie argued before turning to Ms. Lucas who unfortunately had to stand next to Mr. Fuluka and deal with parents. "Zoe, can't you do anything? You're the school nurse for Pete's sake."

"I'm sorry, Maddie. I've been taken off this case. I don't have the jurisdiction to say anything," Zoe apologized.

"Poor Jazz. She's always been my favorite," Jack cried, blowing his nose into a handkerchief which he proceeded to hand to Danny. "Here you go, Danny, don't lose this. It was your grandfather's."

"Bleh!" Danny reacted to it.

"Hey, Danny, Sasha, check this out," Tucker called to them. The two headed over, curious as to what Tucker wanted them to see.

"What's up?" Danny asked.

"I got another one," Tucker said, opening his hand to reveal one of the ghost bugs.

"Tucker, get rid of that thing!" Sasha whisper yelled at him, reaching for her containment unit.

"No no, look it won't bite me or phase through my skin or anything," Tucker told her.

"What? How? I figured that our ghost powers are what's protecting me and Danny but what's protecting you?" Sasha questioned, sucking the bug into her containment unit as it tried to fly off.

"'Foley by Tucker Foley'," Danny and Tucker replied.

"Wow. It's not just repelling, it's a repellant," Danny figured out.

Their conversation was interrupted as someone walked out of the cafeteria. Tucker instantly stepped behind Sasha and Danny once they saw that it was a creepy looking doctor. Sasha had learned beforehand that Tucker was terrified of pretty much anything involving hospitals and illness. The only reason he got over his fear of the nurse's office at school was because Sasha's mom was the nurse and that he trusted her.

"Hello people. I'm Dr. Burt Rand," the man greeted everyone.

"Are you from the government's disease control center?" Maddie Fenton asked.

"Sure, let's go with that. I can assure you that your children are in good hands, and will be transferred to the creepy hospital on the edge of town," Dr. Rand told them.

"Under quarantine?" Maddie continued to question.

"Sure, let's go with that too," Dr. Rand replied.

"And just why should we trust you?" Jack interrogated.

"Because I'm with the government and can audit your taxes if you don't," Dr. Rand told him.

"We trust you," Jack turned around.

"I don't trust him. There's something about him that's unsettlingly familiar," Sasha said.

"Sam and Jazz are in that hospital," Danny started.

"Xavier too," Sasha piped in.

"We've got to find out what's going on," Danny said.

"Have a good time," Tucker wished his friends and tried to walk away.

"Tucker, he said we. That also means you too," Sasha stopped him.

"You also said hospital," Tucker pointed out.

"We go invisible, we go ghost, we'll be in and out in no time. Just watch," Danny assured their spooked friend.

O

That plan went not accordingly as once Danny and Sasha tried to fly into North Mercy Hospital they got sent flying back towards the ground thanks to a ghost shield. Sasha took a little more time to recover, not used to falling for those kinds of ghost deterrents like Danny was.

"Well, let's just come back during visiting hours, or perhaps, not at all," Tucker said, ready to turn around and head home.

"We can't do that Tucker. The fact the hospital has a ghost shield around it makes it even more suspicious," Sasha argued with him.

"If I can't get in as a ghost I'll have to get in like a kid," Danny said, transforming back into this human form which caused Sasha to do the same. "The two of us probably won't be able to sneak in without causing suspicion. The bugs should've gotten everyone so having two sick kids come out of nowhere would seem odd."

"It's not smart going in there by yourself," Sasha told him, worry in her eyes.

"Give me five minutes to distract Dr. Rand so that you can break in without causing alarm," Danny asked from her.

"Five minutes," Sasha allowed before turning to Tucker. "You have the ecto-blaster from my mom?"

"Yup," Tucker smiled, patting his pocket. "So happy your mom decided to let me and Sam keep them."

"You're a ghost hunter, kinda need the equipment," Sasha pointed out.

"Okay then. Let's make this good," Danny said.

He threw his arms around Sasha and Tucker's shoulders and acted weak. The three headed towards the hospital entrance which was guarded by two ghosts. This only caused the three to become more suspicious of what was going on.

"This area's restricted, no admittance," one of the ghost guards told them.

"But our friend is sick," Sasha protested.

This got the attention of Dr. Rand who came out from the hospital as if the word sick managed to summon him. "It's alright guards, stand down. Has this young man been exhibiting any ghost like symptoms?" he asked. Hearing this Danny turned invisible for a moment. "Oh no! You poor sick human child, it's worse than I thought."

Dr. Rand excitedly took Danny from Sasha and Tucker, transferring him to a wheelchair and then wheeled him into the hospital. The guards instantly closed the doors and glared at Sasha and Tucker.

"Set your timer, Tuck," Sasha whispered. She sent a glare at the ghost guards, grabbed Tucker's arm, and then dragged him a little bit away from the entrance.

O

Sasha paced back and forth as they waited for Tucker's alarm to go off. She did not like waiting when she knew how fishy it was. Especially knowing that Danny was in there dealing with it on his own. The other thing that was bothering her was Dr. Burt Rand. She knew that there was something familiar about the guy and it frustrated her beyond belief that she hadn't figure out why yet.

"Dr. Bert Rand. Dr. Bert Rand. Dr. Bert Rand," she repeated over and over again.

"What are you doing?" Tucker asked.

"I'm trying to work out why Dr. Rand's so familiar," she answered. "Dr. Bert Rand. Dr. Bert Rand. Bert Rand. Bert Rand. Bertrand. Bertrand! That's Spectra's servant!"

"Which means we're not just dealing with ghost bugs…," Tucker said.

"We're dealing with Spectra," Beth finished. Tucker's alarm went off, signaling that the five minutes Danny asked for were up. "Perfect timing. Let's go!"

Sasha transformed back into her ghost form and flew up to the guards, not having to worry about the ghost shield seeing as she was inside. The guards didn't have much time to react as Sasha shot them with an ecto-blast and then sucked them up into her containment unit.

"Don't worry Danny, the cavalries coming!" Tucker shouted, having built up some courage to head into a place he hated.

The two ran inside, or in Sasha's case flew, to find Danny so that they could defeat Spectra together. They would have run further inside but Sasha stopped Tucker once they heard their names being called.

"Tucker? Sasha?" They looked up to see Sam floating up near the ceiling.

"Sam?" the two echoed.

"So, this is the ghost power you got from the bugs," Tucker mused.

"Have you seen Danny?" Sasha asked.

"A while ago, but I fell asleep and when I woke up he was gone. There's something evil happening here," Sam informed them.

"It's a hospital, Sam. There's always something evil happening here," Tucker replied.

"We have to find Danny," Sasha said.

"Unfortunately, I think we means you two. I'm pretty useless and there are cameras and guards everywhere," Sam told her.

"Then it looked like we'll have to get a bit creative. I'll be able to go invisible and travel about but you Tucker will have to go through the vents," Sasha said, noticing a vent opening.

"Can you give me a boost?" Tucker asked.

Sasha nodded and lifted Tucker up towards the air vent. She wished him luck before Tucker headed deeper into the vent. Sam wished the same thing before Sasha turned invisible and began to search the rooms of the hospital. For the most part, it was rooms where her classmates were being kept, or at least the ones who could be contained. Other rooms appeared to be supply closets. One room that made her stop however was one that Xavier was being kept in. Perhaps she could get some information on what was going on from him since she forgot to ask Sam. Taking the chance Sasha turned visible allowing for Xavier to see her.

"Shadow!" Xavier exclaimed when he noticed the ghost appear in his room. Almost immediately after his arm became intangible and went through the bed he was laying on. Sasha flew over and helped him out of his bed, waiting for his arm to return to normal before letting go. "Thanks. I don't know what's going on with me and why I kept going through things."

"You're turning intangible, or at least parts of you. That bug bite gave you ghost powers," Sasha explained.

"That's the most information I've gotten since they sent us here. Thanks," Xavier admitted.

"Really?" Sasha asked though she could completely believe that Spectra and her servant wouldn't tell them anything.

"Yeah, all they've done is take us for tests. Afterwards, they just shove us into a room and that's it. It's like they don't even want to help us," Xavier explained.

"I'm pretty sure you're right. This hospital sounds like it's trying to use you guys for its own messed up purposes. And I'm here to stop it and figure out a way to get everyone back to normal," Sasha told him.

"Is Phantom here too?" Xavier asked. She could practically see the fangirl in his eyes.

"Somewhere. He might have gotten captured. Do you remember where the room that they took you for testing is?" Sasha replied.

"You go down the hallway and turn right. It's the second door on your left," Xavier answered.

"Thanks so much," Sasha said.

"Anything for you guys," Xavier smiled.

And with that she turned invisible once again and went in search of the testing room, hoping to find Danny.

O

Danny was strapped to a stretcher with ghost proof straps thanks to Bertrand. But now that he was in this situation he was going to question the shadowy figure of Spectra to find out exactly what was going on.

"What do you want?" he questioned.

"What everybody wants Danny and for me, that means being beautiful. That's why I'm assembling this!" Spectra answered, floating over to a cabinet. She opened it to reveal a new body she'd been designing herself. "A brand new me, fashioned by only the best teen genetics."

"So, the ghost bugs, the virus?" Danny continued to question.

"All part of my plan, I need to get the children away from the adults all in one place, so I could siphon away the best qualities of each of them. Jazz's brains, Dash's muscles, Paulina's nearly flawless skin…" Spectra listed off.

"Nearly flawless?" Danny asked confused.

"She has a mole. Isn't it obvious? I had to treat them all with my little ghost virus to get them all in one place," Spectra replied.

"And the ghost powers?" Danny asked.

"A side effect. At some point, the powers will be too much and they'll all burn out, into little withered husks. Won't that make a great class photo?" Spectra laughed gleefully.

"You'll never get away with this Spectra," Danny told her.

"Ooh, but I already have and you, Danny, you're the grand prize. I need your genes to lock this perfect body together and stabilize it, so my ghost form never burns out and never grows old. Of course, my preferred option would have been to get that little friend, Shadow, of yours but she's much too suspicious of anything that smells like ghosts. She would have been perfect. Stabilizing my ghost form along with giving me that control over shadows, I'd be unstoppable. But I got you which will work alright. How helpful are you?" Spectra explained and wheeled Danny into the DNA extracting machine.

Spectra's plan might have been smart, but Danny wasn't going to let her win. Inside the DNA extractor, Danny took hold of the handkerchief that his dad gave him and fed it inside the extractor. Since Spectra wanted Fenton DNA she was gonna get it, but it wasn't going to be Danny's. Spectra didn't notice and was completely elated with her new body. She hurriedly slipped into it and headed out laughing manically, leaving Danny strapped onto the stretcher. Luckily, he wasn't left alone for long as Sasha flew in, completely missing Spectra

"Sasha!" Danny exclaimed.

"Danny, what happened?" Sasha asked, hurrying over to the stretcher he was strapped to and struggled to release him.

"I got knocked out and woke up here. Turns out that Spectra's behind all of the ghost bugs," he explained.

"I know," Sasha told him.

"You know? How?" Danny questioned.

"Dr. Bert Rand, Bertrand. It became obvious who was behind everything after I figured out why the creepy doctor felt so familiar," Sasha explained. "Granted, you probably know more about the reason why than I do. She did do the villain monologue, right?"

"Yeah. She used everyone's DNA to build herself a new body. Unfortunately, the side effect of the ghost powers are gonna burn everyone out," Danny answered.

"Shit, we gotta move than. Why can't I get you out?" Sasha complained, still tugging on the straps holding Danny down.

"They're ghost proof," Danny explained.

"Damn. Now I wish Tucker was here for two reasons," Sasha sighed.

Sasha got her wish as after a clang of metal falling her and Danny looked over to see Tucker climbing out of the room's vent. "Hello models!" he greeted, his eyes closed for some reason.

"Thanks for the compliment, Tuck, but we could really use your help. Nice timing by the way," Sasha said.

"Feel like getting these things off me?" Danny asked.

"Why you need me to do that?" Tucker questioned.

"They're ghost proof," Danny and Sasha answered.

Tucker nodded in understanding and then pulled out his ecto-blaster. With a few shots, Danny was released from his bonds and instantly transformed back into his ghost form. He and Sasha didn't waste any time explaining things to Tucker. Instead, they grabbed hold of him and went intangible, heading out of the room. Their main goal was to find Spectra, but they came across Bertrand first. He was watching TV in a sitting area with Dash, Paulina, and Xavier.

"What's up, Doc?" Sasha mocked.

"You made a bad joke. I'm so proud," Danny smiled at her.

"Ah, you two are so cute together," Xavier gushed.

"Back away, ghost girl. The ghost boy is mine," Paulina told her and flirty waved at Danny who waved back. This left an opening in Danny's defenses which Bertrand happily used to attack.

"Danny! I mean, Phantom!" Sasha exclaimed.

"He is not yours. Phantom is Shadow's. Just look how much they care about each other," Xavier argued with Paulina.

"Guys this is not the time!" Sasha shouted at them.

Deciding not to pay any more attention to Xavier and Paulina arguing she jumped into the fight. Tucker managed to get dragged in himself after pulling the ecto-blaster on Bertrand, trying to help Danny, and accidentally missing. He was currently pinned underneath Bertrand who was threatening to plunge an oversized needle into Tucker.

"This is gonna hurt you a lot more than it hurts you," Bertrand told him.

"How about neither of us gets hurt why isn't that an option?" Tucker questioned as he quaked in fear.

"Don't worry, Tucker, I'll make sure this only hurts one of you," Sasha assured him. Pointing her containment device at Bertrand Sasha sucked him into it, saving Tucker.

"Dude, his bedside manners stinks," Danny commented.

"Very impressive, but a bit late I'm afraid," Spectra spoke up.

Looking over to where she was floating, Sasha got a look at Spectra's new body. She definitely designed it so that she appeared as a sexy badass. And while it appeared that it was impressing a lot of people, it didn't impress Sasha.

"I am in a modeling agency," Tucker smiled.

"It's nice right? Smart, beautiful, deadly," Spectra bragged.

"Seems more tacky to me. I mean, flames, Spectra? Really?" Sasha commented. She sent an ecto-blast at Spectra, sending her flying back into the table that Jazz's head was sitting on.

"I can't feel my toes," Jazz said.

"Let's see if you can feel this," Spectra replied. Grabbing the jar Jazz was in she threw the girl.

"No!" Danny cried.

Luckily Jazz was caught by one of Kwan's duplicates. Unfortunately, he took the jar as a football instead of a container that was certainly containing a person. Danny, Sasha, and Tucker rushed forward to catch her as one of the Kwan's toss her into the air again, hoping that one of the duplicates would catch it.

"I got her!" Sasha exclaimed as she grabbed hold of Jazz's container. She then flew over to Xavier and handed it to him. "Look after her for me will you."

"Anything for you, Shadow," Xavier replied, happy that he could help his hero.

Sasha flew back over to Danny as was ready to fight Spectra with him but the two of them were struck down by Spectra's ghost stinger. It sent them tumbling to the ground where she pinned both of them down. Just as she got the upper hand Spectra's body began to glow a ghostly green.

"Aah there we go. Your DNA is finally kicking in," Spectra grinned.

"DNA? She got your DNA?" Sasha asked in a panic.

"Why did you think I was strapped down to that stretcher?" Danny questioned.

"And that means I should be all powerful in 3, 2, 1," Spectra counted down. She didn't get what she was hoping for however as Spectra suddenly became fat. Confused as to what happened she let go of Sasha and Danny. "What? What happened? Why do I suddenly feel like blathering on about ghosts? And why do I feel like eating fudge? Lots and lots of fudge."

"You wanted Fenton DNA. Unfortunately, you got it courtesy of my dad's nose," Danny explained.

"Nice," Sasha complemented. At that moment Spectra was coated in snot, thanks to the DNA that Danny provided. "Gross!"

"There's a you blow it pun in here somewhere but I'd rather not," Danny said.

"You're doomed kids, and you know what, so are your friends. Know that those bugs have dug into them and there's nothing that can get them out," Spectra growled.

"That's what she thinks," Tucker said and then climbed into the vents.

Danny and Sasha went into fighting against Spectra, Sasha taking the more distance shot her with ecto-blasts while Danny took the more physical punch her approach. This turned out to be a mistake as he just ended up snot on him wherever he hit Spectra. Several spots of snot stuck to walls, floors, and the ceiling as the fight continued on. Tired of bits of Spectra going all over the place Sasha summoned up some shadows and grabbed hold of the snotty Spectra. With the enemy trapped Danny and Sasha pointed their containment units at her.

"You're finished, Spectra," Sasha told her.

"You might have defeated me, but you still haven't stopped my bugs," Spectra threatened.

"Or have we?" Danny asked as a certain scent filled the hospital. "Do you smell gym shorts and ginger snaps?"

"Actually, I smell tennis shoes and fudge nutters. Uh, what is that ghastly odor?" Spectra asked. Sasha and Danny shared a knowing look. Soon after the scent filled the building was the hallway filled with swarms of ghost bugs that exited everyone's body. "What? How is this possible?!"

Danny and Sasha didn't wait to explain it to her. They went to work sucking up all of Spectra and the ghost bugs. Once they were finished the two transformed back into their human forms as all their classmates reverted back to normal. Tucker soon joined them, coming out of the vent. He received high fives from both of his friends.

"Way to come through in the clutch, Tuck," Danny complemented.

"Yeah, how do you like that? My first trip to the hospital and I'm the only one who didn't get hurt," Tucker smiled.

The universe decided to prove him wrong as with the ghost bug out of her body Sam fell on top of him, no longer able to fly. Sasha and Danny winced when they heard a crunch.

O

Sasha and Sam joined the Fenton's in visiting Tucker in an actual hospital. It turned out that Sam broke his leg when she fell on him. So, Tucker's uncomfortable dealings with hospitals weren't over yet.

"Tucker, just wanted to thank you for helping to get our Jazz out of that awful hospital, although I have to agree with the authorities that ghost plot thing seems pretty farfetched, huh baby," Jack thanked him.

"Yeah, everybody knows humans can't have ghost powers," Maddie agreed before the two adults headed out.

"I'm so sorry about your leg," Sam apologized.

"I told you hospitals reek," Tucker sulked.

"Oh come on, Tuck, we beat Spectra and you should be fine in 8 to 10 weeks, it could be worse," Danny said.

"Ugh! I wish I had your guys healing factor," Tucker groaned.

"I'll see if my mom could figure out a faster way for you to heal," Sasha replied. Feeling her phone buzz in her pocket Sasha took it out and read the message she just got. "Speaking of which I gotta head home. Looks like mom wants me to finally meet the boyfriend."

"So soon?" Sam asked, knowing that the relationship had just begun.

"Well if she wants things to move forward it's kinda important that we meet each other. After all, I am part of the package deal when someone dates my mom," Sasha answered.

"Well good luck. Hopefully he's not a jerk," Danny wished.

O

Walking home from the hospital the first thing that Sasha spotted was a fancy, expensive looking car parked right outside her house. She'd seen it before from her window during some of her mom's past dates. She might not know much about her mother's boyfriend but one thing she figured out was that this dude was rich. Hopefully that meant that this guy would treat her mother right. At least she was about to find out a little bit more now.

"Mom?" Sasha called out when she walked through the door.

"We're in the living room!" Zoe called back.

Heading to where Zoe said that they were Sasha entered the living room. Her mother and her boyfriend were sitting on the couch enjoying a cup of tea and some of the white chocolate macadamia nut cookies she'd made after the whole Spectra thing ended. Sasha focused her attention on the boyfriend. The guess that the guy was rich was only more solidified seeing how he was wearing a slick, black suit. He was put together pretty well with his long, silver hair pulled back into a ponytail and his goatee was well trimmed. His midnight blue eyes instantly shot to Sasha when she entered the room.

"Hello," Sasha greeted.

"Hello," the man repeated.

"Sasha, hon, I'd like you to meet Vlad," Zoe said.


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. Sasha's logo will be coming out on DeviantArt soon.

"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.
