-------------------------------

I have to tell you than this is going to be the average length of every chapter. It's 8 pages on Microsoft word at size 11.5 type and that's pretty long for me or anyone don't you think. I think my other stories went a bit longer.

Disclaimer: I do not own Danny Phantom, Danny Fenton, Tucker Foley, Jazz Fenton, Maddie Fenton, Jack Fenton, Sam Manson, Paullina, Dash, Valerie, or any other characters from Danny Phantom. I do however own Miss. Katelyn (Kate) Laired. She is an imagined person by me and this is and was chapter 1.

Chapter 2: Solar Eclipse

(Danny's Viewpoint)

(Danny's House after Dropping off Sam- Morning) "Did you see how she acted yesterday Tucker? I'm sure she doesn't like me how I like her." I sighed and slammed me face into the table.

"Next time go intangible before you try that again. I think you're both spineless jelly fish who rely on me to move you around on dry land." I stared at Tucker than sighed.

"So you think she likes me. Or does she just pretend to be my friend." I said hoping that she had told him something.

"Valerie, well I happen to believe from what Sam says that she's a jerk who hates your guts and wants to kill your from how Sam describes it. I don't think she likes you very much. I guess, unless she's some wacko maniac who acts like a ghost hunter to impress you into liking her." Kate said walking into my room.

"Sam here," I said very cautiously and hopefully.

"Sorry Romeo, but you're darling Sam is still at home asleep. I guess being saved is very tiring compared to saving someone." She said playfully and smiling at me then kissed Tucker on the cheek.

"How'd you get in my house anyway? We have alarm systems, locks, and every ghost gadget thinkable protecting this house." She started laughing at my seemingly hard thought through question.

"Danny, the systems are turned off at 8:00am it being 8:37 means no problem for her. She's not a ghost either so ghost weaponry don't effect her and you're parents are awake and opened the door." I forgot that my fear of my parents out of control ghost weaponry was only avail to me because I am a ghost.

"A little paranoid aren't you today Danny?" Kate asked sweetly.

"I guess, oh, and I'm sorry about those comments a week ago. Forgive me?" She nodded and smiled then leaned on Tucker. We were now 15 years old and dating was now what we were big time into. By we, I mean people my age not including me.

"Danny, who do you plan on asking to the opening school year dance? I, of course, will be going with Tucker. But whom, will you be going with?" Kate said trying to make a point which I was completely blind to.

Kate's Viewpoint

'Are you deaf, blind, clueless, and stupid Danny Fenton?' My mind screamed. I needed him to figure it out on his own and finally make Sam happy. I wanted my new friend. My awesome new friend to find happiness in the person of her dreams who loves her back. Sam was the one who left her friends because the insulted me, joined them because I pushed her, saved them when they needed her, and was saved when she needed him. Why did the one person she loves have to be so clueless? I don't know.

"I don't know if I'm going at all Kate. I just don't know. Dances have horrible memories for me. Last time I almost killed someone who I held very dear to me. I don't plan on making that a habit again." Danny said.

"So you're natural instinct told you to beat up a poor defenseless girl, I see how it is. No wonder Sam was so upset when I asked her about the dance." This struck Danny and wondered how Sam was going about this dance. "I honestly didn't think you were such an atrocious person as to actually get revenge on Valerie."

"Who said anything about Valerie? I mean it was Paullina that I almost hurt." I was a backed by this. I knew that it was really Sam who he endangered but if I didn't I'd think he liked both Valerie and Paullina.

"You're as good a man as my pet rabbit back home Danny Fenton." I said and stood up and walked out. I was met by Sam who was coming up the stairs and Tucker, who had came after me.

"What's up with her?" Sam said as I stomped down the staircase.

"What's up with me, you may ask. That would be Mr. clueless, idiot, and deaf person up there, Danny Fenton. Good pick Sam, truly. You pick wonderful people. At least you and Tucker aren't influenced by his stupidity." I said then stomped up.

Sam's Viewpoint

"Oh, Kate, come back." I looked at Danny who gave a faint smile and sighed and looked at his hands.

"No way, not when he's around ! I'm sorry Sam but he is a danger to civilized society any day. Good-bye Sam, come on Tucker." Tucker followed and his face told me to take care of Danny. Boy was I not ready for Danny to be the one who was upset.

I walked into Danny's bedroom which was pretty dirty, which was normal like everyday. "Okay talk, what did you do?" I said sitting across the room from him on the bed.

"I think she hates me or likes me or something. I'm confused and don't know what to say. I'm messing up my friendships with Tucker and you. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to upset her." I laughed. "What Sam, clue me in?"

"Clueless, is right. You are so clueless." I said laughing. "I'm sorry but she defiantly doesn't like you because if she did she'd put up with you no matter what you did. It's a proven fact. You don't leave without a clue to the conversation if you like someone."

"What?" Danny said.

"If she liked you, she'd make it very clear how and why you upset her. She's also leave you clues on how to make up with her. It's very clear she doesn't want you to come near her ever again." Danny sighed.

"Girls are so complicated Sam. Why aren't you?" I could just say 'Because love makes things clearer' but I couldn't.

"Because you know me; it's obvious why I'm upset because you know me. Her you don't, so it's harder." Danny sighed again. "Don't worry, you won't lose Tucker to her. You make the grade and hit you're target because you're Danny Phantom and Danny Fenton."

"Being Danny Phantom isn't very helpful if Danny Fenton is killed before his 16th birthday." I laughed.

"Nice joke but the world needs you so sorry no dying." I stopped. I began to think about something.

"Sam!" I jumped to attention.

"What? I was just thinking. So what were you talking about? Before she left. It had to be something you said to her. Tell me everything you said, exactly how you said it." I didn't want to pry into their conversation, yet I did but right now helping him is first. How he worded things and his attitude would make all the difference.

"Okay I said. "I don't know if I'm going at all Kate. I just don't know. Dances have horrible memories for me. Last time I almost killed someone who I held very dear to me. I don't plan on making that a habit again." Then she was like. "So you're natural instinct told you to beat up a poor defenseless girl, I see how it is. No wonder Sam was so upset when I asked her about the dance." I didn't exactly get it but I think she was upset because she thought I beat up Valerie who she thinks is a poor defenseless girl. I said I didn't mean Valerie I mean Paullina. Then she stormed off." I didn't get it. It seems like she wasn't upset with Danny for hurting Paullina or Valerie. She was protecting someone but who?

"She wasn't upset for herself Danny, she was upset for… for…" I couldn't bear to tell him. It would reveal everything. Everything I had hidden from him. Everything and anything I had tried hard to hide.

"Who Sam, Who," I know I couldn't tell him. I had to cover it up.

"It doesn't matter who. She just thought that you liked Paullina and you were cheating on Valerie. I guess that's what she was thinking. It doesn't all make sense to me but if I found out like I will eventually I'm sure I'll tell you." Danny nodded as I realized.

It made sense. Danny said someone who he held very dear to him. She though he liked me but when he found he meant Valerie and Paullina she was upset and left. "Sam you okay. That was a pretty dramatic night for you too wasn't' it?"

"Ya it was a dramatic night. But what night isn't when Danny Phantom and Danny Fenton are there. It makes things much better." This gave Danny a laugh out of what could become a very dangerously serious conversation.

I escaped with only dear life and my secret to satisfy me. I went over to Kate's and ended up somehow here in the ghost zone.

"A human, in my ghost zone; this is strictly forbidden. Who are you?" It was Walker, he didn't know I knew him so I'd just have to play along.

"I'm Sam Manson, I ended up here from somewhere in Kate's house." He laughed.

"Well Miss. Manson, it seemed you've been part of Katerialia's schemes. She is here to ruin relationships, mend broken relationships that weren't meant to work, destroy love and increase hate. So what has she done to you?" Walker asked.

"I don't know. She almost let my secret out that I was in love with someone. It was close but I stopped it from happening. I was seeing if I could find out more about her but this works too." He laughed.

"Talk to Emerald, she can find out you're ghost future." I nodded. I didn't believe in fortune telling but I didn't believe in ghosts either for a while so time to take a chance.

"Emerald," I said wondering and looking for her in a circus of tents.

"Here deary, I shall tell you what you're meant to do and be." I shook my head no.

"I don't want to know that. I have free spirit and choice forever. I will make this predestined thing change if it's bad. Tell me if Danny Fenton will ever find out my secret. Please?" She nodded.

"Just as you know his, he shall know yours. I'm sorry but this is for certain; keeping secrets from someone while knowing theirs is a rule waiting to be broken." I sighed.

"I feared that. Can you tell me when?" She nodded. "When then."

"When the full moon is straight up in the sky for the next solar eclipse." I nodded. I didn't know when that was but let's hope not too soon or too far away.

I was dropped out of the ghost zone and landed on Danny somehow. "I guarantee you didn't know Katelyn was a ghost best on destroying relationships." I was knocked out and couldn't wake up.

"Sam, Sam, Sam!" Danny kept yelling my name and yah, I'd love to answer him but I can't so he'll have to deal with yelling at me for a while longer.

"Danny, when is the next Solar eclipse here?" I had no clue but that would be when it would be so I had to prepare. I had to be ready for his response either bad or good. I did hope it was bad.

"Tucker says it's September 7th. Why?" I screamed and I woke up immediately.

"That only gives me 10 days!" I jumped up and run down the street to my house. I was followed by Danny.

"Sam, what's up with you lately? You ask me for the time of the next solar eclipse then run off." I sighed. I might as well set him up for this. "Then the thing with Kate, is she really a ghost?"

"Ya she is a ghost. A ghost bent on destroying human relationships. I think that Tucker is going to be very upset. He had to fall in love with a relationship hating ghost, wasn't he?" Danny laughed and I just smiled.

"So now what is up with you, Sam?" I sighed.

"I promise I'll tell you everything, my big secret, why she was afraid of you, mad at you, why she became human. I promise to tell you at the sighting of the next solar eclipse. Okay?" He sighed and he sat down on my bed.

"I guess I wish I could know now. I don't believe you've been holding a big secret from me. And you didn't explain me the whole truth about my situation about a potentially dangerous ghost." He was beginning to lose his trust in me.

"You can wait 10 days can't you? I told you what you needed to know to keep you safe. I kept it from you because I'm scared to tell you. I didn't know she was a ghost until I came out of the ghost zone. I found out when was time to tell you and that's at the next solar eclipse."

"Sam, you are just one huge mystery that I am too anxious to wait for but knowing you. I don't think you'll be willing to give me any hints. Right?" I laughed.

"I'm sorry Danny but it's very important, so important that everyone might be endanger when I tell you so it will be hazardous for you not to know at that point. Okay? Not a chance for a hint on my secret, okay?"

"I don't have any opinion in this do I, Sam?" I shook my head no.

"It's not going to be a very happy day if I'm right about what's going to happen. But who said I was an expert on ghost fortune and fortune telling. I'm not so everything might just be…perfect." I laid back on my blackish purple bed and went to sleep.

I could sense Danny leaving. I desperately wanted him to stay but watching me sleep is as exciting as watching paint dry. I stay very still and tight and close to myself. I do with I could be open with Danny but he could wait but I didn't have a chance to wait longer than the time I was given.

I awoke to a note tied with a black ribbon to a chair in front of me. It was of course Danny because that was a ribbon that was in my room. I knew that Danny would have closed the door causing the automatic lock to lock. So no one else could have came in.

Dear Sam,

As desperately as I want to tell you this. You will also have to wait for my response and question upon the solar eclipse. I hope I answer as well as you answer mine. I'm going to check on Kate in the ghost zone. Don't worry about me holding a grudge on you with holding information from me. I don't care as long as I eventually find out. Promise me and I will promise you no secrets anymore from anyone after the solar eclipse.

Danny

I had never known Danny to be the one to wait around for something but he had secrets from me and hopefully like said both of our answers will make each other joyous. I desperately hoped that he did and would.

I thought hard about what I could say to Danny that night. There was so much I wished desperately and sadly every night to know what to say. "I wish I knew what to tell Danny." A slip of paper fell from the ceiling. The paper read in simple terms said. 'The Truth of How You Feel.' I laughed. I knew Deseree was tightly in the ghost zone but I new another ghost who sometimes who interfere with me using his ghost powers.

"Very Funny Danny; Good Advice but couldn't you be any more sudden." I said screaming at my ceiling.

"I could Sam but that could possibly freak you out." Danny's ghost self head hung from the ceiling and popping out of my ceiling.

"Thanks Danny, I think I will. Next time so I don't have to scream to my ceiling. Just get mind reading powers and read my mind." He laughed at this.

"I wish I could get mind reading powers like Emerald has. She couldn't tell a future if her life depended on it. She just pieces together an event with what you want to hear and then tells you it. It's all about individualism. Funny how some ghosts are just you Sam."

"Ya, just like me." I don't know if Danny has mind reading powers but the fact that he knew I talked to Emerald didn't come as a laugh to me. It was very confusing.

"So now what?" I thought. It was midnight and I was tired but I was in clothing not suitable for a comfortable sleep so.

"You can leave so I can change my clothes and go to sleep. I'd like to get some sleep before placement exams tomorrow." I would have loved to have a camera at this very moment because his face was like a surprised and worry combination. "Good-bye and good night Danny," I said walking out of my room.

"Sam, I kind of forgot about placement exams." I laughed while turning around.

"It's placement exams. They put you in a class worthy of your standards of how you work. It's not a test. It's a exam to put you at the level in which you test at. It's a grade on everything you know and everything you might possibly know. There are no worries." I sighed because Danny for some reason enjoyed struggling with his classes.

"Sam," He asked me turning around again.

"Let me guess you want me to help you learn everything I know so you can struggle all year in a harder class because you didn't know anything about the exam." He nodded.

"Please Sam," I sighed, then looked at the pathetic expression on Danny's face then walked to go to our home library and pick up some text books I had looked at once.
