Danny dropped into his room. He was no longer in ghost mode. His room was as messy as always. Everything seemed normal.
"Jazz!"
Danny wrenched open his door, and sped across the hallway. He opened the door to Jazz's room. She was on her bed, sound asleep. Danny smiled.
But what about Katelyn?
Danny ran out if his house and onto the sidewalk. He started running toward Katelyn's house. He ran faster and faster and faster . . .
CRASH!
Danny blinked open his eyes. He had crashed into Katelyn!
"I was coming to see if you were okay," said Danny and Katelyn in unison.
Danny laughed and helped Katelyn to her feet.
"Did you have a crazy dream where - " started Danny.
"I was tied up and you saved me from a band of mental ghosts that were going to kill me?" finished Katelyn.
"Uh...yeah," said Danny. "Wait! If you had the same dream I had, then it wasn't a dream!"
"Of course! I woke up in my room, I was wondering if you were okay," said Katelyn, blushing.
Danny was blushing as well.
Danny and Tucker were walking down the street, heading toward the school dance. Tuck was obsessing over spraying breath spray in his mouth. The pair entered the school gym. Sam and Katelyn were waiting for them.
Sam was wearing a red and black dress. Her hair was worn up in these weird braids. She looked, well, gothic.
Katelyn was wearing a pale sea-green dress with long sleeves. Her hair was in two long braids. Danny noticed that the dress showed her shoulders. His face turned crimson.
"Hey, everyone!" called Tuck.
He waved and ran over to the girls, Danny following suit.
"Man! There are so many girls here, why can't one of them let me dance with them!" exclaimed Tuck.
Everyone laughed.
"Hey, Tuck! Why don't you ask that girl to dance?" suggested Katelyn, pointing to Christina, a girl in Tuck's math class.
Tuck nodded, his eyes fixed on Christina. He ran over to her, placing a mint on his tongue. Katelyn opened her mouth to say something, but Sam cut her off.
"Hey, Danny. Wanna dance?" she asked.
"Oh! Um...sure," answered Danny. He hadn't forgotten the kiss.
Danny and Sam walked onto the dance floor and started dancing. Katelyn had an almost sad expression on her face. She waited there for a few minutes, watching Danny and Sam dance. Sam had a smug expression on her face.
After the song, Danny and Sam walked off the dance floor. Sam's face was slightly red from the dancing - or was it for some other reason?
"Um...You want to dance, Danny?" asked Katelyn.
With a glance toward Sam, Danny nodded. He took Katelyn's hand and led her onto the dance floor. They started dancing to the end of a fast song. But the DJ ended the song and picked a slow one.
Katelyn wrapped her arms around Danny's shoulders, as every other girl was doing to their dance partners. Danny started breathing rather fast. But he acted cool and placed his hands on Katelyn's waist.
Soon they were rocking their bodies to the (slow) beat. Danny felt relaxed. This was a slow song, so Katelyn didn't have to witness his terrible dance moves. All he had to do was rock back and forth.
But Danny was still nervous. Why? Was it because - he liked Katelyn? But what about Sam?
Hey! I'm not a player! I have to choose. But - but who?
Danny stared at Katelyn's face (and other...certain parts of her body). She was so beautiful. Suddenly, Katelyn closed her eyes, as if in pain. When she opened them, they were red.
"Katelyn?" asked Danny.
"I'm fine, Danny. Come on, this is boring," said Katelyn, her eyes still red.
Katelyn led Danny to a dark corner. She gave him a seducing look. Was Danny ready for what Katelyn was about to do...?
Suddenly, Katelyn keeled over.
"ARGH!" she screamed.
A ghost was lifted out of Katelyn's body. Katelyn's eyes turned icy blue again. Danny and Katelyn transformed.
"NO ONE OVERSHADOWS ME!" yelled Katelyn.
She blasted the ghost with a green energy blast. It fell to the ground.
"Wait a minute," said Danny.
The ghost looked familiar...
"It's a ghost from Vlad's castle!" said Danny.
Katelyn gasped.
The ghost was not going to survive. It exploded into a million pieces.
