DannyMay 2019. Day Five
"Sunset"
This is short but I liked it.
Valerie contemplated the skyline, her hoverboard steady above Amity Park. She sighed, exhausted of almost twenty-four hours of ghost-hunting…
"So, whatcha doin'?"
Red Huntress quickly whirled around and her bazooka was firmly pointed at Dani Phantom, with the twelve-year-old unaffected.
"Oh, it's you." Said Valerie, and only hesitated a second before putting her gun down and sitting back down. "What are you doing here?"
Phantom smiled and jumped over to sit next to her, her feet dangling merrily in the air. "Nothin' much, wanted to check up on my friends." Val raised an skeptical eyebrow but shrugged in the end. "So, what's up?"
They talked for a while, catching up on each other as the sun moved. It was good, actually, this brief breather among the ocean of responsabilities attempting to drown her.
Soon, though, it was time to go home and get some goddamn rest.
"Where are you gonna head to?" Valerie asked the kid
Dani shrugged. "Dunno. Over here, over there. A bit of everywhere." She stopped her pacing -if you could even pace mid-air- and looked at Val, a faint green taint to her cheecks. "But, I'll be seeing you, right? When I come over here… we could meet up?"
Valerie frowned. "Sure." Why was it such a big question to have her so intense? "It would be nice."
Phantom smiled and her eyes shined from something other than ectoplasm. "Great! Then I'll see ya'!"
"Yeah, bye." With a wave, Dani flew away, giggling like a shoolgirl -which she would be, if only she went to school-. Valerie shrugged and rolled her eyes good-naturedly. "Kids."
My headcanon is that Dani builds a crush on Valerie, first just by admiration, then romantically. But it's unrequited :p
