Casper High Gym

Outside there was a banner above its doors reading, "SCHOOL DANCE 2 NITE" and dance music playing from within as students file in. Inside, students were dancing and cheering.

Why lancer was trying different phrases from his book, Danny was busy trying to find an excuse and get that amulet back from Paulina. He grabbed two glasses and punch and turned to his date.

"Paulina, I was thinking... That amulet-"

"Isn't it fabulous? I haven't taken it off since you gave it to me" the girl reply, showing with her hands how it matches her pink dress.

"Yeah, well, about that. See, I shouldn't have given it to you in the first place because...*Spots Sam standing with Lina and Tucker* It belongs to Sam!" Paulina growled and stuck out a green dragon tongue to suck the punch out of her glass, which she then broke in her hand. "*Handing her his glass* Uh... But I want to make it up to you. I'll get you something else. Something...more special"

As he was busy, Mr Lancer spotted his parents and walked up to them. Angelina noticed but decided not to help since it was Danny who got himself into that trouble.

He will never learn otherwise; she thought and took a sip from her punch.

She hated being that cold, but she felt it was the only right thing she could do. Plus, she wanted to enjoy her dance; not that it was moving since Tucker stood by her side like a statue. Sam was also by her side and the three of them stood awkwardly and watched.

"Mr Fenton! About our conversation the other day concerning Danny" Lancer said.

Jack looked confused but before he could speak, he was possessed. Danny, who had excused himself from his date, had turned invisible and took over his dad before disaster could happen.

"Yes! Danny, what a fine boy he is! Ha! Yes, as his father, I get that all the time" he said through Jack.

"Jack, you sound kind of strange" Maddie said, looking at him with worry.

"Oh, must be something I ate. *Spots punch table* Hey! How 'bout I get us some punch?" Without waiting for an answer, he made his way through the students. "Excuse me! Excuse me! Adult coming through. I shave every day" he came to a halt in front of his three friends. "Tucker, Sam, Lina, we've got trouble"

"We had nothing to do with it, Mr Fenton. It was all Danny's idea" Tucker said and earned a slap at the back of his head by Lina.

"Its Danny" she pointed out.

Jack/Danny gave a nod and handed two walkie-talkies "Sam, you try to help me find Paulina. Tucker, Lina, you two keep an eye on my dad. If he starts talking to anyone, page me, got it?"

He walked away without waiting for an answer. At least Lina was proud that he didn't ask her to possess Jack for him, which she had made clear she wouldn't do unless it was a life or death situation.

She just didn't like the idea of possessing a human being, using them as puppets. That made them no better than the ghosts they fought and those that terrorized the city. Not like they had seen many, but she still had to see any kind ghosts.

"This dance gets better and better with every passing minute" Sam commented and started to walk in one direction.

"Is it too much to ask for a normal day?" Lina wondered as she and Tucker chose the opposite direction.

"I think the word you are looking for, is 'impossible'" he replied.

She chuckled and gave him a gentle shove with her shoulder. "Least I got stuck with you for now"

He couldn't help but smile as he took in her appearance, seeing a big difference from the girl he knew. "Yeah" he replied.

They keep an eye on Jack when Lina's ghost senses go off and she spots a glimpse of Danny along with the faint roar of a dragon. "Tucker"

"I know. Go save him. I will keep an eye on Jack"

She gave a smile and a peck to his cheek before heading towards the bleachers. There, she hides beneath and turns into her ghost form before flying out of the school. She zooms on the air and spots the Dragon crushing on the football field with Danny floating above it.

"Take it easy, Paulina. You don't want to hurt Sam" Danny said as he landed close by.

"Uhm Danny" Lina said as she floated close to him, now both noticing that the dragon was holding Paulina.

"Paulina? *realization hits them* Sam?!" Danny exclaimed while Lina's jaw dropped.

The dragon or better say, Sam, stood on hind legs. "Shallow girl!"

"Yep, that's Sam" Lina commented.

The dragon breathed fire at them, but they avoided by turning intangible and then back to normal.

"Whoa! Sam! Two words: breath mints" Danny said and launched into before pulling Paulina from Sam's hand.

Sam roared at them, then his them with her tail, sending them towards the bleachers.

"Bad Sam. We talked about your anger issues" Lina shouted as she charged at the dragon.

Sam turned her attention to the female halfa and tried to smack her with her tail, but Lina turned intangible. The tail hit the ground instead, cracking it from the force. Sam then tried to breathe fire, but she avoids it, by inches.

That was close, she thought, and she made sure she didn't smell anything burning.

However, she didn't see Sam's clawed hand back slapping her on the air. She was sent flying to the bleachers and crushed on them before she could turn intangible. A groan of pain escaped her lips as her back screamed from the sudden contact with the hard object.

The Dragon then aimed its hand on her, but she flew out of the way, causing her to lift the bleachers and exposed Danny with an unconscious Paulina. Dash was also there with a girl and they both ran away screaming when Sam left out a roar while throwing away the bleachers.

"Now, Sam, be reasonable," he said when his walkie-talkie beeped, forcing him to put it to his ear.)

"Danny, Lancer's getting close to your dad," Tucker said.

"Danny go. I got this" Lina said as he guessed by his face what was going on.

She then proceeded to grab Sam's tail, pick her up and pull her on the air. With struggles and some mumbled curses, she spins and tossed the dragon into the distance. She looked at Danny who flew fast back into the school.

A moment later and she heard the now familiar roar of the dragon, who was none other than her best friend. Leaving out a sigh, she got ready to fight her until Danny was back.


Danny had just managed to save it in the nick of time, forced to dance with his mother but was all worth it. Now safe, he flew up and passed through the roof of the school since he had left Lina all alone. His question about how she was doing came from the green fire which headed towards him. He managed to jump to the side at the last minute and saw Lina trying hard not to end up a crispy dragon treat.

Deciding to help, he let out a powerful whistle which forced Sam to turn her attention on him and allowed Lina to catch her breath. "I hate to say this, but you throw fire like a girl!" he added and caused Sam to growl.

He then pulled out something familiar.

"The Fenton Fisher" Lina pointed out, a smile on her face as she got Danny's plan.

The male halfa started to fly around Sam, avoiding the green fire while wrapping the line around the dragon's body. From times, she would toss it to Lina while he avoided a very close hit. Took a few more exchanges and tricks before having their friend trapped. Both held the fisher and pulled with force, causing the line to tighten around Sam's body, strapping her wings to her body. She then fell to the ground and Lina grabbed the chance to quickly take the amulet away.

"Way to go, Dad!" Danny commented, talking about the fisher. They watch as Sam turns back to human. "Sam? *Light flashes as they both transform into their human forms Danny kneels next to her* Are you alright?"

"Wow. *holds her head* Did I have fun at the dance?" she asked.

"Well, uh... *looks at Lina and they both chuckle* Let's just say you had a roaring time"


Sometime later and our 4 heroes were back into the almost empty Gym, with them standing in the middle.

"Dude, sorry your date didn't pan out. Where is Paulina anyway?" Tucker asked.

The answer came from the one corner of the Gym where Dash was leaning against the wall talking to Paulina, who looked annoyed"

"Ah, who cares? Look!" Sam said as the DJ played another slow song. "The DJ's still playing. *Turns to Danny* And I think there's time for one last dance?"

"Sure, I'd love to. *Hands Tucker the amulet* Keep an eye on this, will ya?"

They both walk a little away and start to dance slowly, a smile on their faces. Lina looks at them and then at Tucker, clearing her throat. The geek looked at her and she kept moving her eyes from him to the dance floor, but he was clueless.

"Oh for *mumbles curses and grabs Tucker's hand* May I have at least one dance with you?"

His mouth takes an 'O' shape and then he smiles. "Of course"

She smiles and places her hands around his neck while his go to her waist. Then they start to dance slowly, enjoying the moment. Perhaps that day didn't go fully bad and perhaps Proms weren't as bad as Lina had thought.
