Luckier In Love

Chapter 7: A Happy Ending

After getting rid of Johnny, Danny and Kitty went back to the rides.

They went on the roller coaster about 3 more times before trying just about every ride the pier had to offer.

"Man, I never thought I could actually get tired here..."Kitty said after they got off the bumper cars.

"I guess that proves ghosts need time to take breaks too..."Danny said, handing her some water.

She chugged the contents of the bottle quickly before turning to him and smiling.

"I'm glad we came. This place is a lot more fun than I remember. I guess it helps when you're not bitter towards all men over a bad boyfriend or trying to teach him a lesson..."Kitty said as they walked together.

"Yeah, that might be it..."Danny said, chuckling a bit.

The two ghosts laughed as they enjoyed the rest of the day, getting some snacks and drinks while enjoying their time together.


Later

It was very late now, and Kitty and Danny (who is now in his ghost form), were sitting at the top of the Ferris wheel and watching the fireworks, the special ones the town always has for Valentine's day.

"Wow..."Kitty said in amazement as she watched the beautiful, colorful, heart-shaped lights in the sky caught her attention.

"Yeah, wow..."Danny said, smiling.

He couldn't believe it.

He has been miserable since he broke up with Sam and this Valentine's day had been a major headache all day...but right now...he didn't feel miserable or disappointed.

Aside from being ambushed earlier, he felt happy, and with someone he didn't think he'd feel that way from.

"Didn't think she'd be someone I'd find myself having fun with today..."He thought as his eyes landed on Kitty, who was still looking in awe at the fireworks.

"I guess I just never take the time to realize how... wonderful they are..."She said, admiring them.

"Yeah, you can say that again..."Danny said as he admired them too, before he glanced at her a few times when she wasn't looking.

She wasn't aware he wasn't referring to just the fireworks...


Later

After the fireworks display, Danny realized that he had to get home before curfew and since Kitty technically is still a ghost with a record, he'd have to send her back and the red leather jacket wearing ghost wasn't crazy for that.

"Seriously, now? Even though we didn't fight or anything?..."Kitty asked as they approached the Fenton Works neighborhood.

"Sorry, but I still have a curfew and I'm not sure my folks would be too keen to learn I spent the day with you since...you know..."Danny said.

Sure, they accepted him when they learned about his powers, but this is different. Spending Valentine's Day with a ghost that tried to take their daughter's body? That's a no.

Kitty pouted at that, but knew that he had a point...it didn't stop her from complaining though.

"It's not even midnight yet..."She muttered, hoping to spend more time. "Can't you stay out late just a little bit longer, Please?..."She tried.

"Unless you wanna cause some chaos and risk getting blasted by my still trigger happy parents..."Danny said, making her pout again.

"Fine, if only because I don't feel like getting my hair fried..."She muttered but complied.

"Sorry. My folks mean well and things are better but...well...it took weeks just to introduce them to Wulf and he's one of my first ghostly friends..."Danny said, sighing.

They soon got to his street, but Danny immediately frowned when he saw something.

"Ugh... she's still there. Quick, let's turn invisible..."He said.

"Who?..." Kitty asks.

"Her..." Danny points, sounding annoyed. "Go see-through,...quick..."He whispered.

Kitty became invisible and wondered why.

He doesn't have a secret identity anymore, so why bother?

Kitty then noticed what looked like a police car parked in front. She wondered who would be trying to break in when she saw the police dealing with said attempted house invader...one who seemed familiar.

A pretty but demented looking girl with black hair, who was being restrained by the cops.

"NO! MY SOULMATE IS IN THERE!..." Paulina said, being pulled by the legs by the officer. "Watch it! I'm a minor and from a rich family! I will have my Papa sue!..."She threatened.

The cops ignored her and just continue to do their jobs.

Kitty blinked and then recognized that girl.

"Isn't that?..."She paused but her "not-date" nodded.

"The girl you overshadowed? Yeah, it is..." Danny responded, looking irritated.

Kitty noted the less than happy look on Danny's face and was curious.

"I thought you liked her..."Kitty tried but the boy sighed.

"I don't wanna talk about it..." He said quickly and flatly.

Kitty was a bit surprised, but chose to say nothing, figuring Danny has his own issues to sort out.

Anyway, they waited before the cops pulled into their car, taking Paulina home as they left the area.

"Wow...and people say I was attached to Johnny in an unhealthy manner..."Kitty muttered after watching that overdramatic scene from Paulina.

"You wanna know the funny part?..."Danny said as he became visible again. "I think I actually had more fun with her when she was being overshadowed by you..."He admitted, wondering what he ever saw in that crazy fangirl.

Kitty blinked at that and smiled.

"So, you're saying I'm more fun than her? Neat..."Kitty said, blushing a bit.

Danny himself smiled a bit, looking downward as he cleared his throat.

"Come on, let's go before my folks get here..."He said as the flew inside.


A few moments later

The two landed inside the basement lab. Danny glanced around and smiled. His parents were still out and so is Jazz, meaning that there were no witnesses.

"Perfect, they're not home..." Danny said.

"No... but I am..."A young voice said.

The two turned their heads, seeing Danielle there, eating a tub of ice cream.

"Danielle? What are you doing down here?..."Danny asked.

"Eating Dad's secret stash of rocky road ice cream that he hides from Mom. He still thinks a ghost is doing it, though I guess he's not wrong..." She said as she took another bite from it.

She then noticed Kitty's presence and was curious.

"What's Johnny 13's girlfriend doing here?..."She asked.

"I'm officially no longer his girlfriend. I finally dumped that jerk for good..." Kitty said proudly.

Dani blinked at that and glanced at her brother, she also notice how close the two seemed to be now, especially considered that last month, they had been fighting each other.

"So... are you Danny's now?..." Danielle asked before shoving a spoonful of ice cream into her mouth.

Danny flinched and turned bright red at what she just said.

"W-What?!..."He asked nervously while Kitty also blushed a bit.

"I always hear that dating or having a mutual thing for a girl villain is kind of a cliché all superheroes go through. I hear you had that sort of thing with Valerie, and I kind of figured it'd be Ember if it were a ghost though... but I don't judge..." Danielle said.

Danny fought down his blushing and sent her an annoyed look.

"First... wipe your mouth, it's covered in chocolate. Second... we're just friends..." Danny stated. "Wait, why did you mention Ember?..."He asked, surprised.

"Clueless..."Dani and Kitty both thought, unaware that they were in sync.

"I dunno, it just came to me..."Dani said, since it's not her place to say. "What I want to know is how you managed to hook-up with Kitty in the first place and on Valentine's day?..."She asked, interested.

"We didn't hook up, we just hung out together so that we could cheer ourselves...me and Kitty are just friends, so don't get any ideas..."Danny said, frowning.

"So, it's starting..."Dani quipped.

"The only thing starting is you driving my patience..."Danny said, while the little girl snickered.

Kitty couldn't help but giggle at the scene.

"This is more fun that anything Johnny did on his off time..." She admitted.

Dani smiled at that, not sensing any hostility from her.

"Well, I don't really know you well but if Danny thinks your okay, then I can accept this..."Dani said with a shrug before noticing that the tub of ice cream is nearly empty.

She still felt peckish, so she wanted more snacks.

"Now, to find the cookies Mom is hiding from Dad..."She said as she floated upstairs to get more snacks.

Danny sighed while Kitty giggled.

"Sorry about that...Dani is nice... kind of wild, but nice..."Danny said.

"Don't be. I never notice before but she seems like a nice kid. I never had a little sister myself, but I think it's nice to see you have one..."Kitty said.

Danny smiled at that before remembering what time it is.

"Right... anyway... like I said, my folks might be back soon and while they've accepted their son's powers and clone, still not sure if they're ready for this..."He reminded her

"Got it..."Kitty said, deciding not to argue.

Danny went to the portal and opened it but not before the following happened.

"Also... don't forget this..."He said as he showed her the stuffed bear he won her.

Kitty smiled at it before something came to her. Something that's been on her mind the whole time.

"Did you really mean what you said earlier Danny? About us being friends?..."Kitty asked, curious.

"Sure...I meant what I said..."Danny said. "I could tell you were being sincere and I think everyone needs a second chance..."He said, earning a smile from her.

"Thanks...I gotta say, this has been the best V-Day I can remember...This really was the most fun I had in years..."Kitty said, meaning it.

"Yeah, I could see..."Danny said, pointing to the smile on her face.

She felt her face turn a bit red, but still smiled.

After all, it was only because of Danny that her afterlife has taken a turn for the better. She no longer had to put up with that unfaithful creep or keep lying to herself anymore.

She's free at last!

"I still can't believe that I finally got the nerve to end things with Johnny...and I'm not going back..."She said, earning a proud thumb's up from Danny.

She then recalled his possessiveness and that unwanted kiss from earlier. One she still felt on her lips.

It made her frown hard and feel her skin crawl.

"That creep...I can't believe I used to like that..."Kitty said, wiping her mouth clean.

Danny knew what she was referring to and frowned too.

"I still can't believe Johnny had the nerve to kiss you like that. I knew he was a creep, but that was not okay at all..."Danny said, disgusted with the biker's attitude.

"I'll say..."Kitty muttered. "Any chance you can keep him in the thermos, like, permanently? Or at least long enough for me to get more vanishing lipstick?..."She asked.

"Believe me, I'd love to let that guy stay stuck in here, but my thermos isn't designed to keep ghosts in that long..."Danny said, pointing to what looked like a small screen that read 78%.

"So, I guess it won't hold him for longer than a day..."Kitty said, slightly disappointed and not looking forward to her ex bothering her again.

"Maybe but just remember, if he causes you trouble again, let me know and I'll be there..."Danny said.

"Really?..."Kitty asked in a hopeful tone.

Danny nodded.

"Yeah, like I said, we're friends now and I won't let him keep bothering you..."He said, meaning it.

Kitty smiled at that and felt some relief.

"Thanks, Danny..."She said, meaning it.

It felt nice to know that if Johnny tries anything, she had a hero and a friend in Danny now.

"He's already been more helpful than Johnny has for years..."She thought, smiling.

"Still, can you at least keep him in that thing for a while...I got some packing to do, since I'm moving out of our realm..."Kitty said.

"Sure thing..."Danny said, nodding.

Kitty smiled again before the boy offered the bear to her again.

The green haired ghoul then reached for it before something came to her mind.

She just had to ask.

"I got one question. I've been nothing but trouble. Even if we are friends NOW, how come you've been so nice to me and went on this sort-of-date with me?..."Kitty asked, confused.

"Hey, I didn't exactly not have fun. Plus, I know what it's like to have your heart broken. I've been having one too many bad days lately..."Danny said as he held the stuffed bear that he got for Kitty before handing it to her.

Kitty held the bear and looked at it, truly not knowing what to say from this.

"Nice guys like you shouldn't have bad days..."She said in a grateful tone, feeling her face turn red.

The green haired girl soon leaned forward and planted a quick kiss on his cheek. Danny's eyes widen at that and gasped.

"Uh..."He said, turning red.

Kitty on the other hand, seemed surprised by her actions...and by the fact that Danny wasn't reacting poorly to it.

"Whoa..."She thought, smiling.

Still, she recovered and cleared her throat.

"Don't get the wrong idea, Danny. That was just "thanks" for the night...still, if you are looking for more, you're gonna have to do more than just keep me company..."Kitty said in a teasing way.

Danny recovered from her surprised kiss and rolled his eyes, smiling back.

"Do you ever calm down?..."Danny asked, almost in amusement.

Kitty smirked and shrugged.

"Probably not..."She said, as she turned around and headed to the portal.

"Well... night..." Danny said, waving to her.

"Night..."She said as she was about to get inside.

Kitty then stopped before going into the portal, a smiled grew on her face and she looked over her shoulder.

"Although..." She said as she walked back to him.

"Uh... what?..." Danny asked.

"You did give me the courage and strength to call things off with Johnny... so... you did do more." Kitty said. "Which means..."She paused as she sent him a mischievous look.

"Why is she looking at me like that?..."Danny thought, wondering where this is going.

Before Danny could've asked what she meant, she placed her hands on his face and kissed him on the lips. The ghost boy froze up, his mind going blank as no words entered his mind.

Danielle, who had phased back into the room to get the spoon from the ice cream she ate, saw the entire thing and just stood there, staring mouth agape.

"I so hope Jazz never sees this..." She thought as she looked on with amusement as she remained invisible as the two teens remained still.

After a second, Kitty pulled away from him.

MUAH!~

The ghoul took a moment from that before smiling at Danny, having enjoyed that.

"Wow!..."She thought, trying to keep her cool.

"Huh... if we had done that months ago... I wouldn't have been faking it to make Johnny jealous..." Kitty giggled as she then winked. "Still... if you want more... I'm open..." She said very casually but on the inside, she was still in awe over what she just experienced.

Danny snapped out of his shock and blushed deeply.

"I...uh...well...uh...well..."His week-knee reaction around girls was acting up and Kitty giggled.

"I gotta admit, his shyness is kinda cute..."She thought, still giggling.

Soon enough, Danny "recovered" long enough and managed to stay coherent long enough to say something that needs to be addressed.

"Kitty...uh...look, surprisingly enough, I'm not really complaining over this...but...I wanna let you know now that I don't wanna be someone's rebound guy anymore than I wanted to be used to make someone jealous..."Danny said.

Kitty heard this and sighed.

She supposed she couldn't blame him for thinking that, given that she just dumped Johnny a few hours ago.

"I guess I can't blame you for assuming that, but this isn't a rebound thing. I haven't really felt any love for Johnny in a long time...I just finally admitted it to myself today..."Kitty said, meaning it.

"And you should proud of yourself for admitting it..."Danny said, still red from the kiss.

"I am..."Kitty said before smiling. "And I'm not as down as I thought I'd be, thanks to you...I wouldn't mind a repeat some time..."She said, smiling wider.

Danny heard this and knew what she is implying. He isn't so sure.

"Kitty, you're a great girl and I meant it this time but...we both recently got out of relationships and my last one was with my best friend who I thought I had a future with...I'm not sure if I wanna start dating again yet..."Danny said.

"I guess I understand...maybe I do need some time alone right now, given what happened..."Kitty said as she thought about it.

"Okay...maybe after a little time has passed and we're both still single, maybe you and I can think about going on another "not-date"...or an actual date.. If you want that is..."Danny said, being tactful.

Kitty thought about it and liked the idea.

" I think I'll hold you to that..."She said before smiling. "Still, like I said, if you ever went more, I'm open. In fact, take this..."She said as she handed him something.

A phone number.

"This is my number to my personal phone, only a few other ghosts have it..."Kitty said.

"You have a phone that can be used to call from the ghost zone to the human world?..."Danny asked, surprised.

"Technus made it. He might want to take over the world but he also does jobs like this in the ghost zone...usually for money..."Kitty said.

"Huh, that's certainly something new that I have learned about my ghostly enemies..."Danny said, scratching the back of his head.

"Anyway, enough about that. Like I said, if you ever want to hang out again, even if it's not a date, let me know. Since I'm gonna be a free agent from now on, call me..."Kitty said, winking at him before strolling back into the Ghost Zone.

She had a smile of her red face.

"I so hope Ember never finds out..."She thought.

She knew Ember would not like this, given her own secret crush on Danny...one that she will NEVER admit to but Kitty can't deny her own emotions either.

"I really don't want this to be a rebound thing either...I really gotta think this over before anything happens..."She thought as she went back to her soon-to-be former realm to get her stuff.

She had a lot of moving to do before Johnny eventually gets released for that thermos.

Once she crossed, the doors of the portal closed.

Danny was still there in ghost form, standing still with his face red and mouth agape, still unable to believe what just happened between them.

"Did she really just...just..."He couldn't even form thoughts until Danielle was heard snickering. Danny turned around and saw her.

"I thought a kiss from her was bad. Guess not in this context..."Dani quipped.

"I thought you were swiping snacks upstairs..."He said, annoyed by her eavesdropping.

"I was but I forgot the spoon to hide I was here and decided to watch..."Dani said "She's not exactly what I thought would happen when I hoped you'd meet someone more your speed... but it's a start..." She said before walking off.

Danny scowled in her direction before looking back at the Fenton portal, smiling.

Despite the very abnormal holiday he had today and the unexpected kiss, he still found himself truly smiling for the first time in weeks...He really wouldn't trade what happened today for anything...including what just happened a few moments ago...and with who.

"You are something else Katrina, something else indeed..."Danny thought fondly, pressing his fingers on his lips.

He snapped out of it and sighed.

"I really don't want this to be a rebound thing...I gotta really think this over..."Danny thought as he went to his room.

Still, he thought back to that kiss and found himself smiling.

"Still, I gotta admit...she is a good kisser..."He admitted, wondering how he got to be so lucky there.

The ghost boy decided not to overthink it, he'll figure out whatever is going on between him and Kitty some other time. Right now, he just wanted to get some rest and just enjoy the fact that it had been Valentine's day today...and he wasn't alone.


With Kitty

The green haired girl was in the realm that she had shared with Johnny these last few years.

The same one that she is leaving and had no intentions of ever returning.

"That's the last of it..."Kitty said as she packed the last of her clothes and items from the place.

Once done, she picked up her phone and dialed a number.

After a few minutes, someone answered.

"Hello..."Was heard.

"Hey Ember...it's Kitty...uh...is it alright if I stay with you for a few days?..."Kitty asked.

"What happened?..."Ember asked.

Kitty sighed and decided to just rip off the bandage, so to speak.

"Johnny and I broke up...for good this time and I'm moving out..."She said, only to hear cheering from her friend.

"FINALLY! I always told ya that you could do better than that creep. Man, you sure took your sweet time before finally dumping him. Even that wimp Poindexter would have been a better choice..."Ember said on her end, sounding thrilled. "And sure, you can stay with me for a few days until you find a new realm..."She said in a surprisingly generous tone.

Kitty smiled.

Ember might be a tough as nails diva who wants to take over the human world with her music, but she's a good friend too.

"Thanks Ember. I'll be over soon..."She said before hanging up.

Once done, she took her items and headed out the door, happy to be out.

"So long, waste of space. Enjoy the extra room to be as obnoxious as possible..."She muttered with no intentions of ever coming back.

She was finally free.

As the ghoul flew with her items, she recalled her day of having fun and with who.

While she still wanted to seriously think over the possibility of something between her and Danny, she couldn't help but smile as she recalled her favorite part of this entire day.

"Who knew Danny was such a good kisser?..."She thought, giggling to herself as she kept flying, feeling better than she has had in years.

She wondered how she was lucky enough to cross his path today. It's thanks to him that she finally got the strength to end her toxic relationship for good and is now leaving the realm she once shared with her ex, ready to move on and live her afterlife on her own terms now.

The green haired ghoul decided not to overthink it, she'll figure out whatever is going on between her and Danny later, after some time has passed and everything settles down. Right now, she was just wanted to enjoy that she finally was free from Johnny and his inability to remember anything that doesn't revolved around him, his ego or his bike.

She also was still marveling over the fact that it had been Valentine's day today...and she wasn't alone like she was afraid she was going to be.

That and she has made a new friend, one who she saw in a new light already. One she was interested in seeing more, when the time is right.

"It's a start..."She thought as she smiled.

It was indeed a start.

The start of a new chapter in both their lives and afterlives.
