DarkFoxKit: Alright folks, here's the next chapter to We Are Phantoms! ... Oh and for those who don't know, Key2DestNE isn't doing ANs with me anymore due to his hiatus. Last time was for my birthday and the first uploaded chapter for We Are Phantoms. I don't really plan to make ANs for funny little skits anymore, but for announcements and stuff. Andy will only be in the story now. I apologize if this discourages anyone. If Key decides to come back, maybe we can do more funny things on the ANs again. Until then, I hope you enjoy this story.

Diclaimer: I do not own Danny Phantom or any of the characters with the exception of OCs like Andy. The rest belongs to Butch Hartman and Nickelodeon.

Chapter 2: A Wishful Mistake

We were just passing a poster for a big movie when Sam stopped and smiled at it, "This is going to be one of the hottest movies of the year! Terminitra vs Femalien vs Nightmarica, three of my favorite monsters duking it out to the death! And since you guys promised we'd go this Friday night, I already bought us tickets."

We were about to say something when we heard a familiar feminine voice call out to us.

"Danny! Andy! Sam! … Whatever your name is, hi!" I stopped when I saw Paulina waving to us as she ran over to us, she knew all of our names except for Tucker- poor guy.

"Excuse me, are you lost? Because the popular kids aren't here." I said to her dryly, crossing my arms in annoyance.

Paulina scoffed, giving me a slightly annoyed look. "Of course I know that- I just wanted to invite you guys to my Quincenera!"

"Um… what?" Danny blinked in disbelief and I don't blame him. "This is… this is a joke, right?"

"Of course it is- it'll be one of those jokes where the snobby popular girl invites these loser friends to the party to be pranked on." I said, crossing my arms.

Paulina shook her head, though. "No way, not this time- you guys are invited completely honestly, no strings attached!" She gave a dreamy sigh, and I raised an eyebrow… she only gave that sigh when a certain ghost boy was around… which he technically is, she just doesn't know it.

She excitedly handed us her invitation and I looked at her, crossing my arms. "... There's a catch- you wouldn't just invite US without a good reason Paulina, you and I both know it."

Paulina huffed, rolling her eyes. "Yeah, yeah… I'll admit it, he's right- I want to meet the ghost boy!"

"...The ghost boy?" My brother blinked, caught off-guard.

"Excuse me for failing to see your logic, but how does inviting us help you meet the infamous and not to mention the most exclusive ghost in Amity Park?" I asked her dryly, narrowing my eyes in suspicion.

Paulina shrugged again. "I have no idea why, but since Invis-O-Bill always seems to pop up around you two twins, I might as well invite you all so he comes, right?" She gave a bright grin, waving to us excitedly. "See you at the party~"

And with that, she happily skipped away. Oh great, so we're just tools to getting what she wants, but I suppose I should be grateful that's all she's doing- maybe she's getting a little better over the years.

"This is so cool man!" Tucker spoke up excitedly, obviously not caring Paulina didn't remember his name. "We just got invited to one of the biggest bash in teenage hood!"

My brother gave a big smile, nodding as he looked at his ticket. "Yeah, no kidding- so she didn't invite us because we're cool, that's just even better! We don't have to pretend to be anyone else!"

Sam frowned, though, looking at the date. "..Uh… guys? Look at when it's happening- Friday night…"

"I know, it's gonna be so cool!" Tucker smiled widely.

I gave a sigh before I said, crossing my arms, "Tucker, get a clue."

Danny frowned a bit, looking at me. "...It's during our movie night, isn't it?" he asked sheepishly.

Sam gave a nod, crossing her arms. "Exactly, and these are NON returnable tickets I might add!"

"Oh come on Sam! We NEVER get invited to these types of parties- we can go to the movies any time!" Tucker whined, then he and Danny looked at me… I really, really don't like those looks- I think it's because I haven't chosen a side.

"Come on, pretty please with the black sprinkles and dark cherries you really, really like on top?" they both suddenly said to Sam.

"Come on bro, help us out!" Danny whispered to me.

"..." Sam groaned loudly, quickly getting Tucker and Danny's attention again. "Ugh- fine, we can go to Paulina's party… I guess we could see the movie some other time- even though it has Terminatra, Femalien, and Nightmerica all at once…"

"Yes!" Both Tucker and Danny did a high five with each other.

"You'll be there too, right?" Danny asked Sam, giving a hopeful smile.

"Yes, I'll be there." Sam grumbled.

… I haven't even said anything yet about this party and they already all decided… geez, it's like I wasn't even here.

"Unless something should happen to Paulina before then- not that I'd wish that." Sam said with a bit of a sadistic smile.

"Sam!" I snapped, quickly glaring at her. "What'd I say before!?"

"What?" Sam blinked, rolling her eyes. "I did say I wouldn't wish that, Andy- even if Desiree is somehow free, it's not gonna come true."

Even though we were walking to school I still said, "She's a ghost genie that twists people's words, Sam! All she had to hear are the words 'I wish' and she could use it no matter what!"

"I have to say it with the sentence!" Sam said, clearly frustrated. "I said I wouldn't wish that, so we're good Andy! Now drop it!" …Well, if Paulina somehow ends up dead before her party, I know who to blame.

I'll spare you the boring details of school, not much out of the ordinary really happened, just going to classes and hearing boring lectures while taking notes, but I did find one lesson in biology fascinating and that was about the digestive system. Anyways, I guess something exciting happened during Mr. Lancer's astronomy class today- he was talking about meteors that are gonna be in the atmosphere soon, and people often called them 'falling stars'.

It wasn't until Mr. Lancer talked about people making wishes on these rocks did it stir up a conversation with the students. I heard many of them stating their wishes, proclaiming it to the class- like anyone cares that someone wants a fire breathing horse as a pet.

"I'm going to wish that I could meet the ghost boy, that way if one of the stars comes to hit me, the ghost boy can save me!" Paulina smiled dreamily, and I almost gagged.

"Ugh… how gross." I rolled my eyes, shuddering, before I glanced at Sam and noticing she was doodling in class… a first for her, really. "...Sam? Whatcha drawing?"

Sam blinked and looked over at me but gave a smile and said, "Just thinking of some ideas."

I looked at her drawings, they were mostly doodles of gothic and ghostly stuff, but two letters stand out to me; a D with a P in it and another that looks like an A with a P in it. I looked at her and said in confusion, "What are those for?"

Sam shrugged, hiding a small smile. "Like I said, just thinking of some ideas- namely due to us not going to the monster movie with Terminatra, Femalien and Nightmerica all at once…" She grumbled at that, her mood clearly souring as she glanced away.

"Look, I'm sorry about that Sam; I wis- I mean if there was something I could do about it, I would." I sighed. I felt bad for Sam- Danny and Tucker wanted to go to the party and Sam didn't like that her tickets were going to waste, why do I feel like the neutral party here? I never chose a side to be honest- I mean, I wouldn't mind going to the movies, but just because I didn't like Paulina it didn't mean I wouldn't want to go to that party myself either, I was more in the middle ground.

Sam sighed, grumbling to herself, "I know, I know- it just sucks, that's all… I spent so much money on them, front row seats and everythi-" Suddenly, the building shook, catching everybody off-guard! "W-what the heck?"

I tried to look for what's causing this, but there were so many panicking people running around and I got pushed to the floor! "Ugh!" Geez, I know you are all panicking, but you didn't have to push me out of my seat! I heard something hiss a word, though.

"Paaaulinaaaa!"

"...Did it just say your name?" I heard Dash's voice ask somewhere in the room.

"I think so- neat!" I heard Paulina say and I would've facepalmed if my face wasn't on the floor right now, since when does something that wants to kill you say your name 'neat'?

Then I looked up and saw… one of the monsters from the movie Sam had wanted to see? What the heck? Looks like Femalien... I frowned, quickly standing up- where is Sam right now? She has to see this! …Wait, what am I thinking? I have to get rid of this thing before it hurts somebody!

Before I could do anything however, I saw a black and white blur fly past me and push the female alien through the wall! I blinked… when did my brother have the time to find a hiding place and change? I wanted to run out after them, but unlike my brother, I didn't have ghost powers so I couldn't just phase through these panicking students, and I got pretty much trampled!

After a little while, I finally managed to get out at the same time as Sam escaped from the horde of students. "Andy!" she cried out, rushing over to me. "What the heck is happening? Was that Femalien?"

I only groaned- I was pretty much wiped out from all the screaming people, and I have no idea where Tucker is, poor guy must be unconscious right now. "I think so… it looked like her…" Sam was in much better shape than I was clearly, that or she had an easier path out of the panicked crowd.

Sam frowned, before she blinked, noticing Danny nearby with a small frown on his face- he had apparently transformed back, and I didn't see Femalien in sight, so he must have beaten her. "Huh? Danny, what is it? Did you beat that ghost, or whatever it was?"

"...What kind of ghost takes the form of a fictional movie character?" I questioned after regaining my breath.

Danny looked at us and said with a small frown, "I don't know, but it seems… to have something to with…" He then looked at the black-haired goth girl beside me, finishing his sentence. "Sam."

"What? Why would it have anything to do with me?" Sam practically demanded, crossing her arms.

"I'll tell you at lunch, there are too many people here." Danny said quickly, sneaking off before the goth girl could ask anything more.

Well, after that little ghost attack disaster, school pretty much returned to normal, sad to say- but ghost attacks are kind of the norm nowadays in Amity Park. Thankfully, lunch was already here, and Tucker wasn't unconscious, he was just lost in the horde earlier.

We sat outside in the cafeteria, eating our lunch while Danny explained what happened between him and Femalien. "Well, we were fighting, and I managed to get away from everyone else so they wouldn't get hurt…" He frowned, keeping his eyes off of Sam for the moment. "I then punched her, she punched back, and we kept fighting until she stopped and began to just fade away. Then… well, then she said one person's name when I demanded who sent her."

"And you think she said MY name?" Sam asked, looking at him and narrowing her eyes suspiciously.

"Well it was more like 'Saaaam!' but you get the idea." my brother said, finally looking at the girl and shrugging.

"You can't honestly believe it was me who sent that ghost!" Sam said with a frown. "You know me- why the heck would I send a ghost after my own school?"

Uh-oh, I see the iceberg ahead and it's not looking good… "Uh, guys, look, let's just cool down for a bit and try to think about this- we shouldn't be making any assumptions until we get the full story."

Danny crossed his arms, though. "Maybe, but that ghost looked like Femalien, said Sam's name, and it said Paulina's name before it attacked. Sam wanted Paulina to be hurt, and whether it was a joke or not, it still happened- so it's involved with Sam in some way."

I looked at Sam and crossed my arms, but she frowned at this, "...What?"

"I TOLD you this would happen, Sam- remember? You had to make that wish, didn't you?" I grumbled.

Sam spluttered incredulously, glaring right back at me. "A-are you kidding me right now!? It wasn't a wish, and Desiree hasn't escaped! I had nothing to do with that ghost, okay!?"

Danny looked a bit thoughtful though- since he and I were the only ones who remembered the Corrupted Danny incident, he knew that Desiree was out there somewhere, so the possibility is more than likely to him too. "...Hmm…"

I hadn't meant to get involved with the argument, I'd rather avoid the conflict, but looks like it's too late now. "Look, I'm just saying it's a possibility and a good theory to what we just saw back there."

"I PROMISE you, I had nothing to do with it, okay guys!?" Sam snapped, clearly frustrated with all of the 'blame' set on her. "I'm innocent!"

Danny sighed, shrugging. "We know, Sam- but just in case…" Then he suddenly pulled out the Specter Deflector out of nowhere and put it on around her waist! "Wear this for now, okay? That's all I ask."

"What? Are you kidding me?" Sam growled, taking offense to what we were suggestion. Tucker ever so cleverly kept out of this, I should've followed his example.

"It might prevent Desiree from granting your wishes Sam, so until we figure out where she is or what's really going on, you better keep that on." my brother said to her.

"Look, don't make this harder than it has to be, Sam- we're doing this for everyone's own good." I said softly, hoping she'll understand.

Sam growled even more at that, crossing her arms in irritation. "I'm telling you, Desiree isn't free!" she snapped. "Besides, even if she was, I have nothing to do with this- I didn't even make any wish to have Femalien come to life!"

"Then explain why Femalien said your name, Sam." I said to her, shrugging. "I'm afraid until we know why, we have to assume that you did SOMETHING that brought her here, whether you knew it or not."

Before Sam could reply to that, Danny's ghost sense went off, the blue mist coming out of his mouth, indicating a ghost is nearby, and at the same time we heard Paulina screaming just down the streets. We all looked to see she was on her moped carrying a fancy dress with… Terminatra running on the building, closing in on her. I facepalmed at this, I guess that means we'll be facing Nightmerica too soon.

"Just, stay here guys, okay? That includes you, Sam!" Danny said, quickly transforming and flying after Pauline. "Hey, horror monster- eat ectoplasm!"

"Oh I will, I promise." Sam said before grabbing her backpack. "The same way YOU promised we'd go to the movies Friday!" And with that, she marched towards the chase scene.

"...You gonna eat that, Andy?" I heard Tucker say, pointing at a bag of chips.

I glared at him, snapping in irritation, "This isn't the time to eat, Tucker! We have to do something!"

Tucker shrugged, beginning to munch on the chips. "Hey, relax- Sam probably won't be able to get any more of her wishes granted, and Danny can handle that Terminatra knock-off, so why not just do as he said and stay here?"

"Look, Tucker, I don't think that Fenton Specter Deflector's gonna stop Desiree from granting her wishes, just keep her from touching Sam." I sighed, crossing my arms. "And besides… I can't just sit here and do NOTHING!"

"But you can't really fly after them, and Sam took the last moped here." Tucker pointed out. "It's not like we used our mopeds to get here after all, I wonder what sucker left those here…"

I froze at that… Tucker was right, how could I really help my brother if I couldn't keep up with them? Sam barely could keep up on the GROUND, but they're always flying and going through stuff- there's no possible way a human could keep up with them unless Danny is carrying them, and that would slow him down… I slammed my head on the table, feeling helpless and useless.

Tucker continued to speak, seeming to not notice my head on the table. "Still, I think you could probably use a skateboard or just run, it's not like they're going too far…"

I sighed as I lifted my head from the table. "It's not just this chase Tucker- we can't fly, how are we supposed to keep up with someone who can? Not to mention he can go through solid matter, which is also something we can't do… how did you and Sam always keep up with him?"

"Hmm… well, we just sorta followed behind- it'd usually take a bit of time." Tucker shrugged, holding out the bag of chips to me. "Want one?"

"No thanks."

"But we're not always able to keep up, sometimes we usually sit out and wait if he needs us. Danny usually can handle himself, so don't worry too much, alright?" Tucker said with a smile.

I sighed, looking away reluctantly. "I suppose…" It's just I wish I could help him out more, be more in the game rather than on the sidelines…

Tucker then put a hand on my shoulder, shrugging. "Hey, I know how you feel… sometimes I wish I could do more too- heck, I even made a wish to be a half ghost like Danny once! Except, well… it didn't turn out too well…"

I quickly looked back at him, slowly remember "... I remember- you mutated and overshadowed me to kill him… not that I knew Danny was the ghost boy at the time…" I paused when he cringed, so I quickly said, "But… what was it like… having ghost powers I mean?"

"..." Tucker sighed, glancing away. "It… well, it was awesome- but still, I'd rather wait until I actually deserve them…" He looked at the ground, clearly still thinking about what had happened. "..I mean… I essentially turned into a monster!"

"But that was because of Desiree's spell corrupting you, not the powers themselves." I spoke up. "She's always corrupting the wish people makes, so you shouldn't blame yourself for what happened."

Tucker sighed, giving me a small grin. "Thanks, Andy- you're right, I shouldn't blame myself for it. Either way, it did feel cool to be a half-ghost for a while!"

"But I guess destiny chose Danny to be the half ghost since he's probably right for it." I said with a sigh as I looked over to where Danny was, he was in the fountain and Sam just tackled Terminitra into the water, short circuiting her before she vanished.

Suddenly something weird happened, I don't know what, but my eyes suddenly felt like they were bulging out of my socket, they were deeply focused as they stared at Danny and Sam in the fountain together… something's wrong… what… what am I seeing?

"I swear Danny, there are times I wish I never even MET you!"

"You out of the way by Friday night, but it's not about what I want, it's about what your little friend wants! And she just wished she never met you! And so she wished it and so it shall be!"

"Do I know you?"

"Desiree made it so we never met!"

"Gah!" I groaned as I rubbed my eyes when they finally stopped forcing me to focus like that. I have no idea what just happened, but if I was saw was a vision… then... "Oh no…!" I stood up quickly and started running over to them, I heard Tucker shouting for me but I didn't listen, this was an emergency!

I managed to make it over just as Sam stumbled out of the pool, completely soaked. "Sam! Did you say something? Please tell me you didn't say any wishes!" I shouted a bit too hastily.

"Uh… what?" Sam blinked, scowling at me. "No, I didn't say any 'wishes'- but I'm telling you, Desiree is not free! Hmph!"

I frowned as I looked at Danny, who was still soaked in the fountain and Sam looking rather ticked off, and I asked nervously, "Um… what happened?"

My brother just stood up and put his hands on his hips, shrugging. "All I'm saying that those ghosts were here because of you Sam."

"THEY ARE NOT HERE BECAUSE OF ME!" Sam shouted, sounding extremely ticked off. "Ugh! You know what, sometimes I wish I never met either of you- you can get on my nerves for something I didn't even do!"

"Wah!? S-Sam!" I couldn't believe she just SAID that! But she already left on her moped. I turned to my brother, "Danny-!"

"I know, Andy." Danny frowned, nervously glancing around. "We'd better find Desiree before-"

"Why hello, boys!" I cringed and my blood went cold when I heard her voice, and out of the water came Desiree… and she looked like she got a lot bigger and more powerful. "Seems as if someone made a wish for your removal~"

Danny's jaw dropped, seeing Desiree, and he quickly got into a fighting position. "W-what the heck!? Why are you so huge now!?"

"Excuse me, young man! You don't call a lady 'huge', I believe the term you're looking for is 'more powerful'. Hasn't it occurred to you why I would be granting wishes other than to mess with you greedy people? It's because the more wishes I grant, the more powerful I get! Imagine how powerful I will be when everyone makes wishes on Friday night during the meteor shower?" Desiree said with a sinister smirk.

"No, we will stop you before it comes to that!" I said in determination.

"Heh- not if you never had any experience with fighting ghosts!" Desiree replied, her body beginning to glow.

"... Danny…" I said, my heart beating against my chest as I backed away. "Run."

"B-but we have to stop her!" Danny said, giving a nervous frown as he glanced between me and Desiree. "Come on Andy, let's do thi-"

"No! Run now!" I shouted before turning around and began running.

"And so she has wished it and so it shall be!" I heard Desiree shouted, I quickly turned.

"DANNY!" I stopped in my tracks and tried to run back to him, seeing the ghost genie shooting a purple ectoblast right at him. "Get out of the way!" I jumped in front of him without thinking, quickly putting my hand into my pocket to activate the Portable Ghost Shield to protect myself, but it caused me to go flying into the fountain and got soaked myself!

I groaned weakly, slowly looking up through the fountain to see Danny beginning to desperately fire ectoblasts at the ghost genie. To our shock, though… she didn't even care, she just batted them aside like they were nothing but flies! She's gotten really powerful… that purple ray thing knocked the wind out of me… I wouldn't want to think about what would happen if it actually hit me.

"What did you do to my brother, Desiree!?" I heard my brother demanding angrily as he tried blasting her.

"Ohoho!" Desiree knocked away Danny's blast again as she chuckled. "I didn't do much, I simply fulfilled that girl's wish! And soon, you'll deal with the repercussions as well!"

My vision was too blurry to make out the scene, but I think I saw something purple flashing at the black and white blur of my brother… I heard him screaming… I wanted to scream for him, but I couldn't stay conscious anymore… why do I feel so sleepy…? The last thing I heard was Desiree laughing before everything went black.

DarkFoxKit: Fun fact: originally I was going to have Danny's point of view here after Andy blacked out, to show what happened between him and Desiree. However, it was short and to anyone who watched the series should already know what happens, so I cut it out. This story is back to Andy's point of view only. I'll use Danny's if I'm doing an arc that doesn't exist in the show and it's necessary. If you guys have questions, please try to PM me about them, if you can't then you can ask in the reviews but it's not always guaranteed I'll answer them in the ANs. And on that note, I am DarkFoxKit and I look forward to hearing from you guys.
