Chapter 2: Arrival

"Good morning, Amity Park! It's going to be a beautiful sunny day! Not a single cloud in the sky! Perfect for the beach and for water parks!"

Danny shut it off.

He set his alarm for 7 AM. He had to be ready. Just because she's his girlfriend now doesn't mean he can't make sure to impress her. After all, Star has gone from a pretty girl he likes from a distance, to a lovely person he loves to be around. He got his stuff in a duffle bag and was heading to the door when his parents got in his way.

"So, son!" Jack said with a big grin. "You and your new girlfriend are out today?!"

"Uh… yeah." Danny said with a blush. "Gonna meet her at the water park. I offered to pick her up, but she insisted on it, says she has a surprise for me."

"That's so sweet, Danny!" Maddie said with her hands clapped together. "You and Estelle are already so happy together!"

"She prefers Star, Mom…" Danny says.

"Well, whatever you call her, I just knew you'd find yourself a girl who can't resist Fenton charm!" Jack said with a thumbs up.

Danny rubbed the back of his head.

"Thanks Dad…"

"Mom! Dad!" Jazz shouted as she walked down the stairs. "Let Danny go already! They're on a date, not getting married!" She didn't see Danny's blush deepen at that thought now crossing his mind. "He has to meet up with Star already and Floody Waters is like an hour away!"

"Hmm… that's true…" Jack said, then he smirked. "I'll drive you, son!"

Danny looked mortified. Though Star no longer mocked his parents, he knew his father would stick around to embarrass him.

"Dad…" Jazz chided with her arms crossed. "Let him go."

Jack sighed. "Fine…" He stepped out of the way. "Have a good time, son."

"Thanks, Jazz." Danny said to his sister, relieved.

"Just treat my potential future sister-in-law good." Jazz joked.

This made Danny blush again, followed by an annoyed glare. He then walked out the door.

"Bye, Sweetie!" Maddie went waving. Once Danny was out the door, Maddie had a horrified look on her face. "So… how's Sam taking it?"

"Not good…" Jazz said. "Star used to hate us, including Danny. After saving her skin so many times, she likes us, Danny most of all. Being a former A-lister already makes Sam mad, being Danny's girlfriend would probably make Star a ghost anytime she finds the opportunity."

"Ooh…" Jack shuddered. "That's one ghost I'd feel sorry for…"


Star exits her door. "I'll see you later, Dad!" Once she went down the stairs, she knew she had to make a detour.

I just hope it's ready for him. This is the perfect time to give it to him… while he sees me in that red swimsuit again.

She blushed hard. She knew one of the many reasons she had to make this date wasn't just to make up for her rudeness that one time, but what she was going to pick up for her detour.

"I can't wait to show him!"

She didn't know someone just arrived at her house. Someone who rang the doorbell. Once Georgia answered it, she tried to hide her dirty look.

"Mr. Strong! Your ex-wife's stepdaughter is here!"

"Oh no…" Colette said with her hollow charmed smile. "I am here for Est- I mean, Star. Is she not here?"

"She just left on a date with that nice boy. She's not around for you to pester." Georgia said.

Colette did not like the housekeeper's attitude and pointed a finger at her.

"You watch your mouth! My Papa will have a word with your boss!"

"One Mr. Strong will no doubt ignore…" Georgia spat before closing the door.

After a "HMPT!", Colette turned around and smiled.

"So, Estelle and mon amour, Danny, are meeting up. I must buy something very eye-catching for him…"


Really glad I left early…

Danny thought this as he avoided the one-eyed iguana ghost's tail. It hissed at him.

"Are you that mad my girlfriend doesn't know what a kaiju is?!" Danny questioned jokingly. The iguana ghost tried to claw him, but Danny edged back to avoid. "Okay… I guess you are. As long as no giant apes come after her…"

Danny flew at the creature's one eye at top speed. He fired a ghost ray in close range, but the Iguana closes its eye before it could hit. However, this is what Danny wanted. Unable to see him, Danny flew around and grabbed the giant ghost by the tail, lifting it off the ground.

I saw this on the original Power Rangers at my uncle's… maybe this will work.

Danny then began spinning the giant animal ghost around. Once he spun fast enough, Danny threw it into the air. Once it started falling down, Danny pulled out the Fenton Thermos and used it on the beast, sucking it in and trapping it inside.

"Bye-bye, Zilla!" Danny shouted as he sealed it. He held the thermos and shook it a bit. "Heh… see, Zilla is the official name of the 1998 Godzilla because Toho bought the rights to it to make sure it isn't a version of the actu- I'm talking to something inside a thermos who probably can't hear me and can't understand me either." Danny said in realization, losing his cocky smile when he put two and two together. He rolled his eyes and sighed. "Well… I have 40 minutes before I meet with Star. May as well stay in the area of Floody Waters, in case Klemper freezes it again."

Danny flew to where he will meet his girlfriend, yet he doesn't know a few uninvited guests will be crashing the party.


It was 8:50 am at Casper High and Sam was dropped off in front of the school. She had her parents giving her disapproving looks.

"Sammy-kins, we are very disappointed in you…" Her mother, Pamela, chided. "I barely accept you're friends with that boy, but to damage school property out of possessiveness?!"

They knew Sam had an interest in Danny even if she denied it. When they found out he has a relationship with another girl, they were hoping Sam would stop being interested in him. Her attitude only worsened. Much as they don't fully approve of her friends, they didn't approve of her jealousy either.

Sam only crossed her arms while rolling her eyes away.

"You listen well, Samantha!" Jeremy, her father, said. "We better not have repeat of this! Just because we're rich, doesn't mean we can just pay off whatever property damage you do! We're still paying for the locker you dented! And the napkin holder you broke! And the mailbox you damaged!"

Sam sighed in an exasperated tone.

"Fine… can I just go get my punishment from Lancer now?!"

"Alright… remember, your curfew is at 8 tonight for the rest of the week for this." Her mother said.

"No worries…" Sam had a determined glare in her eyes, looking in the direction she knew Floody Waters was in. "I'll be home long before then…"

I'll be here for 3 hours. Floody Waters closes at 5 on the weekends. That's plenty of time to break Danny free of whatever grip Star has on him.

As she got out, another person arrived on foot. Both of them scowled at each other.

"You're here too?!" Dash questioned.

"Broke a piece off the lunch table…" Sam admitted.

"May or may not have dented a trash can…" Dash said. "My folks said I can't go to football practice unless I do this and do chores on the weekend to pay it off… for 5 weeks."

Both of them sighed in frustration. It only became more frustrating when they reached the room they'd be serving detention in and realized they were the only two students here.

"Both of you, take your seats!" Lancer barked from his desk.

Both of them exchanged dirty looks before taking seats on the opposite sides of the classroom.


"Hmm… no."

Colette tried to find a swimsuit she knew would impress Danny. Since Star wore a red one-piece, she wanted to find something could potentially as alluring. Her first choice was a lavender one-piece with the straps in an X shape. She did not think it was enough.

I need something… that American boys will not stop staring at me with. Especially one in particular…

"Ah, miss." A sales clerk here at Abyss noticed what she was doing. She walked up to Colette. "May I help you?"

"Yes…" Colette said. "I am looking for an American swimming outfit. One zat ze boys of America will fawn over." She spoke in her French accent.

"Ah… you have a special boyfriend?" The clerk asked with a friendly smile.

"Yes… he is." Colette claimed.

Or at least he will be…

"Well… we do have a series of swimwear… but it might be a bit pricy…" The clerk said.

Colette held up her father's credit card.

"I'm sure zis more than covers not only zat, but everything in zis mall…" She says.

The clerk blinked but to make sure she wasn't seeing things.

"Oh my… this must be some boy…"

"He is…" Colette said with a smirk.


It was 9:05 and Star was in line for Floody Waters. She looked around and started to worry.

Most girls would be upset about their boyfriend being late, but since I learned about his double life before our first date, I gotta give him the benefit of the doubt and assume Skulker or the mayor or this Fright Knight he once mentioned is after him.

"Boo…" She heard him say playfully behind her back.

It startled her a bit, but realizing it was him made her giggle and turn around.

"Well, hello…" She said with a smile. She inched closer so only he can hear her. "Ghost problems?"

"There were a few this morning. This time it was a bank robber. Just because they're not ghosts, doesn't mean I should just ignore the problem." He whispered back.

Star smiled hearing this.

"Well… you're lucky I know what takes up most of your working hours." Star said before giving him a light kiss on the cheek.

Danny now noticed her duffle bag, namely how much bigger it was than his own.

"Uh, Star? I get swimwear and towel, but what else do you have in there?" He asked while pointing at it.

Star gave a playful smirk as her head was tilted a bit.

"You'll find out…"

"Should I be worried or excited?" Danny asked with a small laugh.

"Mostly the last one." Star said, still not giving a hint.


Once they got their tickets and got in, they went to the rooms where they put on their swimming gear.

Danny took a breath.

"Okay Fenton… this your first date with her in a swimsuit. Just focus on making Star happy."

Star took a breath of her own as she put the last strap around her right shoulder.

"This is it… to wipe away who I was here and replace it with who I am now. With my… boyfriend who I still want to have a cute pet name for." She pondered but then smiled. "Danny-wanny?" She shook her head. "No… that's too childish! Maybe… Dan the Man?" She frowned. "Too lame…" She walked out, carrying her towel and a bottle of sunscreen with her. She groaned and scratched her chin.. "Come on! It can't be harder than changing his own last name to be a superhero…" She muttered to herself.

Both of them walked out of the dressing rooms at the same time. They both looked into each other's directions and smiled.

Star saw her boyfriend in his trunks and a sleeveless white shirt. Though her mind was a bit disappointed.

After seeing what he looks like shirtless, I'm mildly disappointed… but those arms!

Danny would have cartoonish hearts over his head for looking at Star.

I never noticed last time because she was so rude but… wow!

Star smirked when she saw the dumbfounded smile on his face.

"See something you like?" Danny nodded, making her giggle. "Come on, loverboy!" She was about to make a step, but she stopped to look at him. "That's not a pet name idea, by the way…"


The two were walking together, holding hands.

"So, how's it going for you in class?" Star asked, wanting to get a conversation started.

"Well… Dash leaving me alone, thank you again by the way, means I have slightly more time to study." Danny admitted.

"Slightly?" Star asked.

"Well, I don't think you can use your dad to sue Skulker, or the Lunch Lady, or even Vlad Plasmius into leaving me alone…"

"Oh… right." Star realized what he meant.

"My grades improved… from C to C+." Danny added in.

"Hmm… well, no boyfriend of mine should suffer academically." Star said. "I could give you some help. Remember when I offered to do your math homework for that beauty pageant?"

"The one where you almost could have married an evil dragon? Of course."

"Well, that was all my own doing. I happen to have straight A's in math! I'm the only girl who was ever on the A-list to do her own math assignments!" She boasted.

"So Tucker wasn't lying…" Danny realized.

Star looked to him strangely.

"Uh… I never told him that."

"There was this one time he wished for ghost powers given to him by Desiree, that ghost genie who sent us to the Ghost Zone. He used them to hack into the school computers to change his grades… and claims to have looked at other students' grades, including yours. In fairness, his powers were turning him evil but we got rid of them."

Star looked a bit baffled, but also a bit disturbed.

"He… can't do that anymore, right?"

"Yeah, no worries. His powers, or the evil ghost created by the wish corrupting him, is no longer an issue."

Star sighed. There was something she wanted to bring up.

"So… does he still… like me?"

"From a distance…" Danny admitted. "That said, I made it clear he's not allowed to hit on you anymore."

"Great. I get the feeling outside of my looks, he's not that fond of me."

"Well…" Danny looked a bit unsure at first, but decided to try it. "You remember that night all of Amity Park was asleep?"

"That's… normal, Danny."

"I mean with those helmets."

"Oh… yeah. I still have mine in our garage. What are they?"

"They were used by a ghost who feeds on dreams. I can enter dreams by the way... anyway…" Star rose a brow hearing that. "Tucker's dream… was that he was rich and shared chocolate milk with you."

Star stopped and had to stare.

"Me?"

"Two of you…"

Star just stood there for a second. Then she bursted into laughter.

"Wow… he dreams of two of me and yet all he thinks of to entice me is chocolate milk?"

"Well… we're 14 and I'm pretty sure what you're thinking of is an acquired taste." Danny pointed out with a laugh.

"Fair enough…" She said. "Wow… I'm pretty sure you violated some kind of guy friend rule but wow… that's kind of desperate."

"And now, you're with me…" He said. "No worries, I don't dream of you…" He quickly realizes what that meant and stutters. "I mean I do! But… not like that! I mean yes! Like, we are a couple, I mean-"

Star kissed his cheek, shutting him up.

"It's okay… we can make some fun memories for those dreams…" She said as she walked past him.

Danny took a moment to smile before turning around and following her.


They reached one of the larger pools of the park, which reaches up to 10 feet deep. As they were about to get in, Star had to ask something.

"Say, Danny? Why do you wear a tank top?"

Danny looked a bit unsure, but decided to answer anyway.

"I'm a bit shy… plus I sunburn easily."

"So do I!" Star said, showing the bottle of sunscreen she carried. "It's one of the only things Paulina ever helped me with. She applied some on her arms. "You want some?"

"Uh… no." Once he saw Star being to apply to her legs, he looked away and turned red. "I… don't mind."

"You know, I've seen you shirtless before, on the island…" Her face turned red. "It was… hard to remind myself I was mad at you at the time because of it."

Danny smiled. "That's what fighting ghosts does to you…"

"That's some exercise routine…" Star said. She held up the bottle. "Still, I insist…"

Danny shrugged. He took the top off and Star ended up ogling his appearance a bit too long.

Wow… never did I ever…

"Star?"

She stirred.

"Oh! Right!"

She applied some sunscreen on her hand and started lathering it on his chest. A blush came to her face.

It feels…

"You know I can do this part, right?" He said with a smile.

"R-Right!" She retracted her arm. "I got your back! You handle the chest!"

She walked around and lathered his back. She tried to do it fast to make it go by quicker, but she found herself taking her time and a smile was growing.

It feels so… nice. She kept having her hand down his back. Who knew under those baggy clothes, the lanky looking Danny could be so… hot. She touched even his sides and went back up and down where the spine was.

Danny's face was a very bright red, not that she could see it.

"I… think that's enough sunscreen, Star…"

Star remembered what she was supposed to be doing and pulled back.

"Right! Right!" Her blush remained.


Danny and Star walked into the water together, but due to a few too many people, found themselves only in the area that goes up to their waists.

"Wow… it's crowded…" Danny said.

"Yeah." Star went. That's when someone bumped into her, making her press on Danny. "Oh! Uh…" They both turned red and tried to avoid eye contact. "Sorry?"

"No! Not your fault!" Danny said.

Both of them were a brighter red. They were thinking the same thing.

I did not think this through… I'd be seeing her/him in at outfit that shows more than I normally see… and we'd get so close…

Right now Danny tried to keep the scenario out of his mind when Star winced.

Something poked her, and she looked at her leg to see kids brought their pool toys in. The noodle accidentally hit her leg.

"Oops! Sorry lady!" The little boy said. "I'll leave you and your husband alone!" He said before swimming off.

Both of them blushed.

"WE'RE BOYFRIEND AND GIRLFRIEND!" The both went.

Star stepped back and splashed water in the boy's direction, but hit Danny instead.

"Oh! Sorry!"

Danny smiled playfully and splashed her back.

"Me too!"

Star smirked playfully and then splashed him back.

Soon, they were splashing each other for 2 minutes before laughing.

"Trying to drown me?" He joked.

"Well… maybe I'll save you with to mouth?" She jokingly suggested.

They both laughed more before walking close to each other and kissing.


It was noon now. Sam and Dash left detention now. With one brief annoyed look at each other, they walked away.

"Whatever…" They both went.

Sam used her cell phone once she was away from Dash.

"Tucker! Did you buy the tickets?!"

"Yes…" He said miserably. "Can I please go in? I've been waiting for 2 hours…"

"I'm on my way, you whiner!" She snapped before hanging up. "I'll save you, Danny… mark my words…"

Once he was far enough, Dash used his own cell.

"Yo, Kwan!"

"What's up, Dash?"

"You got use of the car today? Get Paulina… I know where your ex-girlfriend is…"

Dash had a sinister grin on his face. One that slowly went away due to Kwan's cluelessness.

"Oh… is she at the mall? Wait, no! Uh… the pier? Polter Heights? Is she in Polter Heights?"

"No… I'm not playing a guessing game. I'm telling you I know where she is and we should get payback…"

"Oh… gotcha!"

Dash grinned again.

"Can we still go the mall?" Kwan asked.

Dash groaned.


Colette arrived at Floody Waters and looked annoyed by the presence of the line.

"Lines? Pfft… such a peasant thing…" She pondered but then had a smirk on her mind. "Bonjour!" The boys in line turned around and immediately had lovesick look in their eyes. "I am a new visitor from France. I was hoping very much to experience this water park… but alas, I fear I will pass out from heat. Could I not, how you say, cut in line?" She asked with her hollow charms and clever acting to make herself appear more fragile.

"HERE! HERE! HERE!" A lot of the boys insisted Colette cut in front of them, including the one who was next in line.

"Merci." She said. All the while, she looked down on these boys.

American boys… so easy. All but one and he's in there…

She walked up to the ticket booth.

"Can I help you?" The ticket lady asked.

Colette held up the credit card.

"One… S'il vous plaît…"
