Friday

Danny had just arrived to Casper High and he was hearing what everyone was talking about.

Him and Starfire.

"I hear that Phantom and his alien girlfriend were seen last night flying together into the woods..." One guy said.

"Man, it's so cool... and she is so hot..." Another guy said.

He narrowed his eyes at that and then picked up what the girls were saying,

"It's so romantic... like a movie... heroes, partners and lovers..." One girl, Paige, swooned a bit.

"Yeah, and she's so lucky... she's so pretty and she got the coolest guy in town..." Mia said with a sigh.

"Well, they are good together. Heck, we even went to one of these sites where couples can find out what their kids would look like. So far... they can have really cute kids." Ashley gushed as her friends nodded.

Danny halted and blushed darkly at what he just heard and was a little creep out that people actually did that sort of thing.

"HMPT! The pictures of my kids with the ghost boy look 100 times better!" Paulina shouted, still feeling miffed that Phantom overlooked her for that alien girl.

Seriously? People go to websites for that?

He shook his head and went to his locker. The idea of him and Starfire having babies is just a bit much for him, even if he likes her a lot.

There, he saw his two best friends. Sam looked annoyed while Tucker was rather nervous to see him.

Danny took a breath and looked to Tucker.

"It's cool… Starfire told me not to hold a grudge. You're forgiven…"

Tucker sighed in relief.

"Thank goodness… I'll never do it again, I swear!" Tucker said.

"So… did you ground her or something?" Sam asked with her arms crossed.

Danny rose a brow.

"Uh… no." Danny said. "It was an accident and she didn't know Desiree was there. You of all people should know better than."

Sam turned her head away, not wanting to admit Danny's point.

"So, it's Friday, what should we do?" Tucker asked.

"Well, it's going to be her last night on our world. Least we can do is invite her to join us to the mall." Danny said.

Sam, who was still looking away, grinds her teeth.

"Sounds good to me." Tucker said.

"Great." Danny responded, oblivious to Sam's growing rage.

She took a breath.

Just one more night… and that annoying invader is gone… hopefully for good.

It was later, in the afternoon.

"Let's do this!" Control Freak said as he aimed his remote at her.

Blackfire couldn't believe she was doing this. Usually, she preferred to take charge and attack her enemies head on, but Control Freak, using his "powers of genre savviness", told her that the best way to defeat her sister and boyfriend is to learn more about this town, since Phantom obviously has a secret identity. Blackfire pointed out that she already knows who he is, but he pointed out that she doesn't know who he is and if she goes attacking people to demand it, it might alert her sister to their presence before they were ready.

He suggested that she wear a disguise.

She was still repulsed by the little troll like man, but he did make a point.

Stealth was needed right now.

Control Freak's remote changed her appearance. She now wore a black tube top, a mini skirt and knee-high boots. Her hair is in a ponytail and she is now wearing a pair of glasses.

"This better work..." Blackfire said.

"It will... you look totally hot..." Control Freak said, pretty much drooling over her now.

Blackfire responded by sending a blast to his face, reminding him of her earlier threat.

Blackfire was now at this dimension's Earth mall. She has been to one back when she first visited Earth and if anything, this one was even less exciting.

"Okay... this is where most human teenagers gather... now to find my Phantom..." Blackfire thought as she tried to search for her future mate and her pesky sister.

Blackfire tried to look for Danny, but suddenly someone got in her way and it was not a would-be hero or alien attacking her.

"Hey gorgeous, where did you come from?" A tall blonde, teenage boy wearing a sports jacket said.

It was some pubescent teenage boy who was ogling her. Blackfire had no patience for him.

She said nothing to him as she kept walking, but he blocked her path.

"Move!" She ordered.

"Hey, didn't you hear me? I am talking to you. Anyway, the name is Dash Baxter, high school quarterback at Casper High. Which reminds me, do you like quarterbacks?" He said, obviously trying to hit on her.

Blackfire didn't know what a quarterback is but that didn't matter. She knew that she didn't like this guy.

Even if he looked strong, Blackfire could tell that he was weak, both in mind and in power.

She had no use for someone like this.

"No, now leave me alone..." Blackfire ordered.

The stupid boy looked stun by her rejection and then narrowed his eyes.

"Hey!" Dash was now getting aggressive as he got in her face. "I'm the star-"

Blackfire grabbed him by the collar and pulled him in closer, glaring viciously in his face as her eyes glowed.

"I… said… leave me… ALONE!" Blackfire ordered.

Dash suddenly left weak in his legs as they started wobbling and he began whimpering.

"O-o-okay!" He said.

Blackfire then pushed him on the floor, resuming her hunt for her intended mate.

It in the mall's food court where our heroes, and Danny's friends, were eating together.

Starfire was drinking mustard out of a bottle with a straw. Tucker and Sam both exchanged rather grossed out looks while Danny simply chuckled. He's gotten used to her eating habits.

Sam shook her head.

How could he still want this girl in his life? She's so gross and weird. I've seen GUYS with better eating habits than her.

"Mmm... more please..." Starfire said to Danny, only to see that they are out.

"I'll get you some more, Kory..." Danny said, getting up.

"I'm also needing some more curly fries..."Tucker said getting up.

Leaving Starfire alone with Sam.

There was an awkward silence when the two realize how alone they are right now.

Starfire decided to at least give being friends one more try.

"Sam?"

"What?!" Sam questioned with her arms crossed and in a scowl.

"I will be returning home tomorrow. I have been wanting to speak with you since… that day."

Sam rolled her eyes.

"Well, not interested."

"You are still mad at what I've done?"

"Duh…"

"But… why?"

"Everything was just fine before you crash landed in Danny's life!" Sam shouted harshly.

Starfire gasped at what she just said, before looking down.

"I am aware that I have done things that I do not TAKE any pride in, but I have apologized and Danny has forgiven me, and we have become very close. Why can you not forgive me as well?" Starfire pleaded.

"BECAUSE YOU NEVER SHOULD HAVE TAKEN HIM!" Sam shouted, only to realize what she has let slip.

Starfire noticed it and she managed to finally pin point what Sam's true problem is.

She is the jealous.

Starfire has admitted that she has felt some jealousy in the past, especially when her love interest is concern but this is a little complicated. Sam is Danny's best friend, a best friend who has feelings for him, as it is painfully obvious, now that she thinks about it.

Starfire could have done many things right now, and she could have gotten into a fight with her over Danny and how Sam has no right to act like she has say in whom Danny chooses to date. Instead, she said this.

"Sam... May I ask you a question of the hypothetical category?" Starfire said in a slow voice.

"Ugh? What is it?" Sam said in a hostile tone.

Starfire had a calm, if level expression on her face. This made Sam somewhat uncomfortable.

"In a hypothetical context, what if I were to say that the real reason you dislike my relationship with Danny is because you were to like him in the way a woman likes a male as a romantic partner? And the reason you are so hostile towards me is not because of how I had chased Danny, but because despite that, he chose me to be his friend who is a girl instead of you? If that were true, answer me this: even if you had the like liking feelings towards Danny, wouldn't you want him to still be happy... even if it is with someone who is not you?"

That got Sam to make a look, one that Starfire didn't know the emotion to connect it with.

Sam's mind was at war with itself.

I… what do I say?

"Why… is that a thing you want to know?"

"I do not wish to be competitive with you, for Danny's sake. I will not tell Danny, nor will I hurt him or you… because I love him."

Sam didn't really react. She just looked Starfire in the eye. What she saw left her silent.

But also, completely lost in how to react.

"Hey!" Danny said as he brought the mustard for his girlfriend. "Brought you a new bottle."

"I thank you." Starfire said as she used the straw to drink up.

Sam, even as Danny and Tucker sat back down and spoke to each other, did not react. She just had what Starfire said in her mind.

Even after Danny left with Starfire as soon as they were done, Sam still sat there, deep in thought.

Starfire actually loves Danny, doesn't she? Sam thought.

She was still upset but, as unhappy and jealous as she was, Sam saw the look in Starfire's eyes.

She knew that she was telling the truth.

She truly loves Danny. It wasn't a love spell, weird alien hormones, amnesia or any other strange factors that were making her say that.

She seems to truly, honestly and sincerely love Danny.

It made Sam feel even worse than before.

"If her feelings are real and they're dating… if he feels the same way then…" She had another thought. "If I said anything… it'd break her heart and it'd make Danny real mad…"

"What's that, Sam?" Tucker asked.

Sam almost jumped out of her seat. She forgot Tucker was there.

"N-NOTHING!" She lied with a flushed face.

As Blackfire continued walking through the mall, her patience was growing thin.

She inhaled deeply, trying to remain calm.

"This is taking forever…" She said.

I can't find them unless there's some evildoer or something. That's when the idea hit her and she smirked evilly. Then maybe I give them a reason to show up…

"Let's see, this town has to deal with ghosts, right? So…" Blackfire smirked as an idea formed in her evil mind.

An idea that will get Danny into her arms, whether he likes it or not.

Danny and Starfire were now outside, heading back to Fentonworks.

Danny looked to Starfire and chuckled.

"What is the funny?" She asked with a clueless smile.

"I'm gonna miss the disguise you use." Danny admitted.

Starfire heard this and smiled.

"Well, perhaps, if you wish... I could still dress in this fashion in the future..." Starfire said.

I love the way she talks. Danny thought fondly.

Before they could continue talking, they suddenly heard the sound of blasts and screaming.

"Help!" A feminine voice shrieks.

"Oh man..." Danny said as he turned to Starfire who was already out of her disguise. "Wow… that was fast."

"Someone needs our assistance." She said and her boyfriend nodded.

Danny quickly transformed and soon the heroes went to the direction of the screams.

Once they arrived, they saw a large green ghostly blob monster and, in its grasp, looked to be a teenage girl.

"Help me!" She called out.

"Weird, my ghost sense didn't go off..." Danny said.

However, the beast roared loudly and the girl screamed louder.

"Help me already!" She shouted more as a demand than a request for help.

However, before Danny made a move, Starfire had a look of recognition and stopped him.

"That girl…" She said before it hit her and she knew who it was. "Blackfire?!"

Danny gasped and look to the girl.

She stopped pretending to be afraid and just scowled.

"Great…" She said sarcastically and looked to the green blob creature. "They know, you can stop now…"

In that moment, the blob creature disappeared after turning into television static. In its place was a familiar figure.

"Oh… it's…" Danny said, trying to remember but drew a blank for a moment. "Oh yeah, Coach Potato Man!"

Both alien girls, even Blackfire, laughed at the chubby villain's expense.

"I'm Control Freak!" He snapped.

"What are you two doing together?" Danny asked, pointing to Blackfire and Control Freak at once.

"Simple." Blackfire said as she had her fists at her hips. "But first…" She rolled her eyes to Control Freak. "Change my outfit back to normal."

Control Freak nodded and aimed his remote.

"Here you go."

He pushed the button and Blackfire's outfit changed.

"Now then…" She spoke before noticing Danny was looking away with his face red and Starfire, covering his view, glared at her sister. She was curious why. Looking down she knew why. "WHAT?!"

She was in a black, two-piece swimsuit.

Control Freak, blushing, grinned sheepishly.

"Uh… oops?" He said, sounding like he did that on purpose.

Blackfire flew to him and lifted him by the collar, glaring with glowing eyes.

"Give me my real outfit or you'll need that give yourself a full body cast!" She demanded. Terrified, Control Freak pushed a button, giving her back her usual attire. "That's better…" She said before dropping him on the rooftop floor and looking to the two. "Now, as I was saying…"

"You're here to hurt us while also finishing off my girlfriend and making me your slave and/or unwilling boyfriend, right?" Danny asked.

"Exactly." Blackfire said with a smile. "It's like we finish each other's sentences…"

"I know not how you are here…" Starfire said with her fists glowing. "But you shall be returning to our universe!"

"Aww… but I just got here." Blackfire said innocently. "Also, thank the chubby idiot over there." She pointed to Control Freak.

"She found her way out of prison and I was the only person willing to work with her… to get revenge on you, Danny Phantom!" Control Freak said. "I used my tech to create a one-way trip to this world!"

Danny rose a brow.

"So… you built a way to travel to another universe… so that you could get payback instead of showing your work to make money off your findings?" Danny asked. "Wow… you're petty."

Control Freak turned red with rage as his fists shook.

"You'll pay for that!" He shouted.

Danny, however, looked unafraid.

"Right… so… can we cut to you guys losing already?"

"Uh… no." Blackfire said before firing her starbolts.

Danny rose a shield and blocked the attack before flying do battle with her.

Starfire went to assist Danny, only for some tentacles to grab onto her.

It seems Control Freak rematerialized his monster, as he was grinning darkly.

"Unhand me!" Starfire ordered, her eyes glowing green.

Control Freak then did that hammy, over the top laugh of his.

"Alas, my pretty alien, you have no means of escape!" He said, trying to sound intimidating. "Join me, dear Starfire, and not only will you be spared, you will have our home world with me! Join me, my love, and the world is ours for the taking!"

Control Freak finished his overly dramatic offer. Starfire only rolled her eyes in disgust.

"You have stolen that line from the movie known as Warp Trek… you are so much the unoriginal."

"Yeah, well… it's a good line! So… whadya say?"

"As the humans of both worlds would say... DREAM ON!" Starfire shouted as her eyes and hands glowed greener.

She managed to free herself and send more blasts to Control Freak's monster and then to Control Freak, who started running, but due to his massive weight, he didn't get far.

She grabbed him by the back and lifted him off the floor. He kicked his legs in a vain attempt to struggle out of her grip.

"This is not how my fantasy went!" He cried out.

Meanwhile, Blackfire was throwing punches at Danny. Thanks to being at full power and knowing full well how she fights, Danny is doing much better. He blocks her attacks and throws a punch to her face, knocking her back.

She gritted her teeth at first before smiling.

"Well… good to know you won't pull your punches… I like!"

"Then you're gonna love this." Danny said before firing his ghost ray with both hands.

This sent Blackfire higher into the air before looking and seeing Starfire dealing with Control Freak.

The sight made him laugh.

She was holding him upside down by the foot and shook him, making various junk foods, some half eaten, falling from his pockets.

"This is not how this was supposed to go!" Control Freak went.

Danny crossed his arms and laughed at Control Freak's expense.

"Maybe you should have stayed in your mom's basement?"

"I live in her attic!" Control Freak snapped.

"Yeah…" Danny rolled his eyes. "That's a big difference…" He sassed.

"Just because you got these powers and the alien powerhouse hottie to date you, it gives you no right to look down on me!" Control Freak shouts.

"You're right, there isn't much of a view to look down on, anyway..." Danny joked.

Starfire laughed.

Control Freak got angrier.

"Well then…" He pulled out his remote. "Get a view of this!"

He pressed the button once aiming away from the two. A small, old-fashioned television set was summoned and it released some kind of energy whip that wrapped around Starfire's leg.

Gasping, she let go of Control Freak and tried to get away, but the pull was stronger than her.

"STARFIRE!"

"Serves you right for turning down the future ruler of the world..." Control Freak said with his arms crossed.

Danny grabbed Starfire by the arm and tried to pull her out. When that didn't work, he tried intangibility.

The energy whip remained.

"Danny!" She shouted. "Even intangibility is ineffective!"

That's when her foot was now somehow inside the television, seeing this made Danny place his feet on the rooftop and began pulling harder.

"Hang on!" He strained. "Almost-"

He's unable to keep up as she was pulled one last time, taking Danny with her.

Both teens were now sucked inside the television, which then turned back to normal.

Once Starfire and Danny were trapped inside, Control Freak smirked, putting his remote back in his pocket.

"Serves the two of them right..." Control Freak gloated before laughing. He stopped when he was hit by a purple blast. "AH!" Control Freak yelped.

He turned and nearly peed his pants when he saw just how mad Blackfire looked. Her teeth were snarling and her eyes were glowing.

"THIS WAS NOT PART OF THE PLAN, YOU IDIOT!" Blackfire yelled at him.

"But you said you wanted us to trap them!" He said in a feeble attempt to stand up to her.

"I wanted my sister, not my mate!" She shouted. That's when she got closer.

"Mommy..." Control Freak whimpered before Blackfire descended on him. "Wait!" He said. "This can still work!"

Blackfire stopped. Her eyes were no longer. Still, she landed and grabbed him by his long, unkempt hair.

"Explain… before I tear that disgusting mane of yours off along with your scalp…" She threatened.

Control Freak and Blackfire have trapped our heroes! Now what?!

Also, someone knows how deeply our alien heroine loves her ghost boyfriend.

But what will happen next?

All I can say is a special thanks to Flower princess11 for help.

I was gonna use a real movie quote for Control Freak's offer to Starfire, but couldn't find a good one.

Anyway, lemme hear your thoughts.
