A/N: Here's chapter two! Please excuse any errors in quoting. I only saw the episode two times...

Valerie was thinking angrily about the battle she had had with the ghost boy up in outer space. She had come so close to winning! The ghost had even been at her mercy at one point, until he escaped. Why couldn't she ever capture him?

Maybe… maybe I'm just not good enough… Or maybe I'm not meant to be a ghost hunter? Valerie thought morosely. NO! I've gotta stop thinking less of myself! I'm good enough; that stupid ghost boy just keeps getting lucky.

The teenaged ghost hunter began to let her mind wander (although it didn't quite stray from the topic of ghosts). She found herself reliving the incident in which she and her father were faced with the ghost boy.

(Memories)

"There's an evil ghost in there who's trying to take control of your super-computer!" the ghost boy exclaimed, pointing at the machine.

"Yeah, and we're looking at him!" Valerie retaliated angrily.

With the jet pack in hand, the ghost boy shot over to an astronaut's suit and grabbed the oxygen mask. Putting it on, he switched on the rockets. Then, he turned intangible and flew up through the roof. Very soon after, Valerie followed.

(End memories)

Valerie thought about this for a few minutes. She analyzed every detail of those few moments. Suddenly, she realized something odd about that situation.

That oxygen mask was used to breathe in outer space. But if the ghost boy really were a ghost, he'd be dead, and wouldn't have to breathe. But he had taken the mask anyway. Had he been bluffing?

But why would he? Valerie thought, extremely confused. But then, if he wasn't pretending, then he took the mask so he could breathe, she reasoned. Then, yet another question arose: Why would he need to breathe?
