!Hola! Can you believe I updated? It took some time, besides that I hate floppy disks! Now that I have that out of my system, I have a few notes.
These changes will be made to the previous chapters as soon as I get the chance.
Chapter One (The Field Trip): None
Chapter Two (Valerie): Since seeing "Life Lessons", I have to say that Valerie sort of likes Danny "Phantom," after making that truce with him, so she's not as angry. And also, since "Public Enemies," occurred, I guess all they all know ghosts exist, so they don't think she's as insane as they say when she tells them that she's a ghost hunter.
Chapter Three (Dash): I'm going to include (in his little monologue where he's flashbacking on all of the "ghostly" things that have happened to him) about when he was possessed by Walker/Guard in Public Enemies.
Okay, that's it. Thanks to my reviewers! And I am proud to say that I reached 100 reviews! My first one hundred. Thank you guys, I didn't think this story would be a hit, but I'm glad it is.

Dannys-Ghostly-Girl: Nope, not Skulker, but cool idea anyway.
Dannysgf08: (x2) Cool name. Yeah, I know. I'm lazy sometimes. Thanks for reviewing me so many times. I love my fans.
Amy: You bet Paulina's going down.
R6: The little green glows are Danny's eyes because he is getting angry; the blue one is his ghost sense. The elevator is small, and you're right, I don't say how small and cramped it is. I'll be sure to do that more. Yep, I did see Public Enemies, but there aren't other people that he can bully besides Danny, Sam, and Tucker, and the two girls he wouldn't really pick on.
Dr. Daragon: Big fan of the Box Ghost? Me too. You guessed it.
ReviewGirl: You sort of got the plot, Valerie asks Danny a similar question. And then Tucker blurts something out, and also this chapter gets deeper into his secret. But your question happens next chapter. Cool idea. Paulina it is.
The Fuzy Llama: Your review confused me. (A lot of things do, don't get me wrong) But sorry, it's not Sam…
GreyRavenNorth: What's your favorite dare question?
Sqweakie the Wonder Mouse: In the episode, Parental Bonding, Danny discovered he could "overshadow" people. The first time it happened, he accidentally did it to Dash trying to get back at him, and Dash happened to be talking to Paulina. So Danny decided to have a little fun and tell Paulina that he scrubs his mom's feet, is president of the Casper High Geek Club, and has every toenail he's ever clipped. That's where I got that from, which is why Danny was cracking up. And after a while, they finally get used to the dark, but I'll be careful about that, thanks for telling me. But sorry, no Tucker singing. They want to get out alive.
A. Nonymous: Valerie and Tucker might kiss, cool idea. I'll think about it.
Wow. Okay, I'm done…. The flashes, by the way, were Danny's eyes cause he keeps getting angry, but the last one was his ghost sense…dun dun dun dun. Truth or dare returns next chapter. For all of you who wanted Sam, I apologize but…I bring you, Paulina! Our favorite Goth will be here soon! I've included Spanglish in this one because of Paulina, so for all of you who don't know Spanish, translations are at the bottom.
Chapter Four
Paulina
I watched as Sam stretched over, practically standing in his lap, and blocked Danny like she was protecting him.
"What's your problem?" I asked, ignoring them and staring down at my painted pink nails.
I had so many other things to worry about then some loser's problems. Like mi familia, y my spot in popularity. I was like bonita. Would I ever see that again?
And where was help? It had surely been an hour or cuarenta y cincos minutos? Shouldn't someone be looking for us? Shouldn't the power be back on by now? Shouldn't we be out of here and finishing with the field trip?
Where was help when you needed it? Why couldn't he just come now and sweep me into his arms, and fly away with me into the sunset? Where was he? Hadn't he always been there when I needed it? when I needed saving? Where was Invis-o-Bill? Who else would save me now from the ghost hunter freak, stupido jock, and the Goth puta y her loser amigos?
"Shut up!" Sam said, turning to face me, a dark look in her eyes.
"I'm just about sick of you—" I said, speaking in unison with Dash.
"I am the BOX GHOST!" shouted a voice.
I screamed, my whole body telling me to run….far, far away. I stood up so fast I got a head rush, and nearly ran into Dash.
"Where is it?" he asked.
"I don't know, not here?" Sam snapped. "He's above us."
"I hate that stupid ghost," both Danny and Valerie said together.
We all stared at them and Tucker laughed uneasily. "It's getting freaky deaky up in here," he said. What a completely idiot.
"I'm surrounded by morons," Dash commented.
"Excuse me?" I said, offended.
"Other than you," he quickly recovered.
"Oh, please," Sam groaned. She made a sick noise like she was about to throw up.
"I wasn't talking to you—" Dash began.
"A box! Beware! Soon I will empty you of your useless containments! Beware!" the voice called again. I'd heard it before, I just couldn't remember where.
"What do we do?" I asked, freaking out again. Then a comforting assurance came over me. Where there was a ghost, there was Invis-o-Bill.
"First of all, you can just stop doing that," Valerie said. I removed my hands from her arm and she shrugged me off. I hadn't realized I'd been doing that. "And second of all, leave it to me."
"What are you going to do?" Dash asked.
"I don't think you should do that,' Danny said. Sam shifted and I could see him clearly now.
Valerie stared. "Do what? How do you even know what I'm going to do?"
"You just told us about your "job"besides that I knew about it before, remember?" he said.
Her cheeks deepened to a rosy color; her eyes however, were narrowed. "Okay, genius. What do you suppose we do?"
"The Box Ghost is an idiot. We all know that—" he began.
"Wait, wait. We all don't know who he is. You act like you know him. Do you?" I asked. What was he trying to prove?
"No," he said nervously.
"Ignore her. Go on Danny," Sam said.
"Who do you think you are talking to?" I asked, stepping towards her angrily.
"You really don't want me to answer that, do you?" she said.
"Sam," Danny whispered. He wasn't trying to get her to stop, but calling her over. The three started whispering to each other, their heads bent down.
"I have an idea," Valerie said quietly. Dash and I turned toward her. "I have this weapon. It's called the Plasmius Grenator. It takes all the ghost energy in the air and removes it."
"Does it work?" Dash asked.
"It'd better. But it only lasts an hour. Hopefully, we'll be out of here by then."
"Will it hurt us?" I asked. Yes, let's try something that will probably make our heads explode or something like that.
"No. It just zaps the energy from ghosts, making them weak and powerless. They could even fall into a ghostly unconsciousness for a while. And making us…ghost free," she said proudly.
"Have you noticed something?" Dash said suddenly.
"What?" Tucker broke through. They were all listening now, but it was clear they hadn't been a moment ago.
"The ghost hasn't said anything for a while," I realized. "Maybe he's gone."
"Better safe than sorry. He could be back. We'd better do it anyway. You never know, he could come back. The Box Ghost always comes back," Valerie said. "And we'll be protected from others."
"Do what?" he asked. What were they so worried about?
"You'll see," she said. She dug around in her backpack and brought out a medium sized, silver and metallic red, gun-looking weapon.
"How did you get that past the metal detectors?" Tucker wondered.
"I didn't," she admitted. "I snuck past it. No one was looking."
"What is that?" I asked. Algo dangerous?
"It's what's going to keep ghosts away from us," she replied curtly. She walked forward and stepped on my foot. I pulled away and she ignored my glare.
"What are you doing?" Sam asked warily.
"You'll see," she said again.
"Valierie—wait!" she said. She reached up at the same time Valerie did, but didn't stop her from pressing the black button on the side.
There was a flash of light and a high pitched nose like something was spinning very fast. Then both events stopped, but it occurred to me someone was screaming.
Danny let out a yell, grasping his head tightly with both of his hands. Then he swayed and dropped to his knees before collapsing hard against the floor and wall behind him and Tucker.
"Danny!" Sam and Tucker shouted at the same time.
"Valerie, what did you do?" Dash asked, staring at him.
"I didn't—" she began, her eyes wide.
"I told you not to do that!" Sam said, her eyes narrowed menacingly.
"You said it was safe!" I yelled.
"It is safe. It said it doesn't effect humans," she said. A certain tone in her voice made me look at her. Her eyes were staring straight at Danny's unmoving form and in their green color was suspicion.
"Are you okay?" I heard Sam whisper. No reply.
"He's probably fine," I said. "He's probably faking."
"Paulina, I swear—"
"Where's Invis-o-Bill?" I asked. "He should have been here by now."
"That ghost that destroyed City Hall almost? Why would we want some evil ghost here?" Dash asked, looking at me incredulously.
"He's not evil," I protested. Yet I wasn't the only one. Sam and Valerie had spoken with me, at the same time.
A strange surge of jealously came over me. Sure, we'd all seen him, but they acted like they were best friend with him. He hadn't saved them, he'd saved me. Which means he was mine, and no one else's.
"Back off. Invis-o-Bill is mine," I said. I hadn't meant to say that aloud, but now that I did, I was pretty sure I was right.
"You can have him," Valerie said, sitting down.
"I'd like to see her try," Sam said. She stood up evenly with me.
"What? Don't tell me you like him?" I retaliated.
"Maybe I do, what are you going to do about it?" she said.
"I knew it! Ha!" Tucker said randomly. We all looked at him and he shrugged, but smiled. "Sorry. That was my little outburst."
"You don't deserve him," I said, ignoring him. "Invis-o-Bill won't like some Goth freak like you."
"Oh, and I'm sure he likes you," she said.
"Ummm…Sam," Tucker said. "He does—"
"Shut up!" she said.
"Why don't you go back to your puny, loser boyfriend Danny?" I asked.
"That's it! Bitch!" she yelled.
The next thing I knew, pain was searing through my face, especially my nose, and I realized she had punched me.
I let out a cry of fury and she jumped on top of me, holding my arms with one hand and her other near my throat.
I landed hard on something soft and found out it was Dash.
Then I got strength and found her hair and tugged it hard. She grimaced, distracted, and I pushed her off of me, but she held on and was on top of me again, and we rolled in Valerie.
"Paulina!" I heard Dash say, reaching for Sam. She pushed him away and sent her hand reeling back to punch again.
And that's when the elevator jolted beneath us.
tttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt
I'm cruel. What a cliffhanger. Sam got even. Danny comes back next chapter, right now he's in a sort of black out stage, unconsciousness, whatever you want to call it. Truth or dare returns next chapter. Guess who's next?... Danny's secret keeps getting closer and closer to the open, their lives are now in a greater peril, and feelings have been exposed…. Stay tuned for the next chapter, and it's a guy…kind of obvious who it is. By the way, last time I got yelled at so I think I'll warn you, I LIKE THE BOX GHOST! I think he's cool, but from DP character's povs' I don't think they like him very much.
