-gasp- It's the last chapter.

Wow, wasn't this fic short? Don't worry, there's a sequel planned. The Steph Series will continue!

I don't own DP. I do own Steph and Garbagio.

Chapter 6

The next day was Saturday, no school for Danny, Steph, Sam, and Tucker.

Steph walked to Danny's house, and knocked on the door. Danny opened the door, rubbing his eyes and still in his pajamas. "Steph, why are you here so early?" he muttered. "It's noon," she replied. "I was just here to see if you wanted to maybe come outside, go to the park or something."

"Sure, just give me a few minutes." Danny closed the door, and then reopened it a few minutes later, dressed and ready to go. He stepped outside, and the two walked away.

A few minutes later, they arrived at the park. "All right, Steph, we're at the park, now what?" Steph opened her mouth to reply, but only purple mist escaped from her mouth, as blue mist came from Danny. "I guess we fight a ghost," Steph said.

The two transformed, though they saw no ghost. However, a nearby trash can began to glow green and violently shake until its contents were spurted high into the air. The trash landed on the ground and formed into a humanoid figure.

"I am Garbagio!" the figure cried. Danny rolled his eyes and shot an ectoplasmic beam at it, causing part of the garbage to fly away from the figure-and land on Steph.

Danny flew closer to Garbagio and continued to shoot beams at it, each time garbage landing on Steph. She tried walking over to him, but she was continually knocked backwards by the flying trash. Aggravated, she held up her arms in front of her face to stop the garbage, and a purple shield formed around her.

She walked towards Danny, the shield staying with her. When she reached him, it disappeared. She tapped Danny on the shoulder, and he turned to see a filth-covered Steph. She had an orange peel draped over her ear, tomato juice under her left eye, spaghetti strands in her hair, and who knows what on the rest of her body.

Saying nothing, the girl raised her hands towards Garbagio and released a beam of her own, causing filth to land on Danny. She gave a short laugh, and then said, "Maybe if we blast this thing together, the trash will go someplace other than on us." "That could work," Danny agreed.

The two of them aimed their hands at Garbagio and fired their beams. Garbagio exploded, trash landing everywhere except on Danny and Steph. Steph smiled, transforming back to normal. "Glad that's over with."

Somewhere deep within the Ghost Zone, a TV monitor showed a picture of Steph at that moment. "Soon...." Came a voice from somebody in front of the monitor. "Soon, Halfess, you will be faced with a fight that you cannot win. But your powers shall develop some. We like a challenge."

Thanks to all the reviewers!

SawCyn-wroteSin: This has gotta be the longest review ever. But that's OK. Your fic sounds awesome, and I'm fine with you using Steph. She can have cameos in anyone's fics.

Touzoku-ouhi: Yay for the Cylinder Ghost...it was either her or the Sphere Ghost.

Jewel59: I am updating. Be happy.

Touzoku-ouhi: Why'd you review twice? Anyways, good idea! I already thought of it, though. I might do that, might not. Depends on the frequency of new episodes.
