Danny and I ended up playing until about 3 in the morning and I was so tired I almost fell asleep on the keyboard.

Sadly, instead of sleeping really late I was woken up by my ghost senses going off at about 10 in the morning.

I changed into my ghost form and flew out of my house. I heard the ghost before I saw him. It was the sound of an obnoxiously loud motorcycle that caught my attention.

I floated near the road and saw a ghost on that motorcycle. I flew down matching the speed.

"I THINK YOU MIGHT BE GOING A TAD OVER THE SPEED LIMIT!"

The ghost was a pale guy with an oversized jacket, gloves without the fingers and he had ear length greasy blondish hair. He slowed down, looked at me, then swung his bike around to the curb.

"I haven't seen you around before, wanna take a ride?" He said with a gross smile full of disgusting teeth.

"No, thank you" I replied full of sass floating above him defensively to show I was not interested in anything other than kicking his ass.

"I don't think Kitty would like that you are flirting with other ghosts Johnny" Phantom said joining us.

"Get off my case Phantom, can't a guy just drive his bike and talk to a lady?" Johnny said as if he were a preteen.

"Look either go back to the ghost zone or we will give you the short cut through the thermos." Phantom must have dealt with this guy many times before.

"Ohh... I see how it is, Already have a claim on this one Phantom" Johnny said as if congratulating a bro.

I flew down and towered over Johnny in a blink of an eye and spoke quietly and menacingly,

"No one claims me. I belong to myself and no one else. You are a despicable disgusting little ghost-man."

He looked a bit frightened by me which I was pretty proud of and tried to talk, failed but then suddenly stuck out his right arm and exclaimed,

"SHADOW G-" before he could finish, Phantom sucked him into the thermos.

I sighed irritated. Phantom turned to me with a small smile.

"Damn Spectra, you scared the shit outta him"

I shrugged with a smile

"Its fun scaring the shit out of skeezy men but anyways Phantom, we're going to have to get me one of those. It's been great and all but it wouldn't it just be swell if I could also catch ghosts so you don't have to show up each time?"

"What do you not like me anymore?" He pouted floating down to the ground to show how very upset he was.

"Aw Phantom, you know you will always be my #1 but just think about how nice it would be for both of us to have a thermos. Please" Now it was my turn to pout, I floated down to the ground so that I was looking up at him. I gave him my best boo boo face and looked up while I batted my eyelashes.

He pursed his lips then dropped his head and sighed.

He reached out a hand out to hold my face stroking his thumb across my cheek.

"Alas, your boo boo face is too strong for me." He shook his head slightly leaning down towards me.

"But it will cost you" He said quietly with a mischievous smile bringing his hand from holding my face to tilting it up towards his.

"What kind of payment?" I raised my eyebrow.

"I haven't thought of it yet..." He smiled again mischievously leaning down. My eyes started to flutter shut letting whatever was about to happen, happen. Suddenly we both heard a car horn pass and realized the sight of two ghost seriously flirting and floating on the side of the road was a tad weird and broke apart.

"Well a ghosts gotta keep things interesting so I have got to skedaddle! But next time I see you I will have a thermos and a way for you to pay me back" He said winking and showing a dazzling smile.

Damn him and his cute face and nice body and smooth talking. I flew back home and changed back to my human form. I was thinking about how first we almost kissed but then about how I still know next to nothing about Phantom...

My phone buzzed with a new message from Danny.

'Park at 11?'

'Sure, just got up so I have to get changed. 11 sounds good.'

Technically I did just get up and I was still wearing an oversized tee-shirt and no bra so 11:00 was great.

I was sitting on the swing totally zoned out when I heard.

"boo!" which scared the absolute crap out of me.

Danny emerged from behind me holding his stomach laughing so hard he could barely breathe.

"Fuck you!" I said trying to frown but couldn't help the smile that was on my face.

"You didn't think it was an actual ghost now did you?" He said looking at me while raising his eyebrows mockingly. I rolled my eyes at him. Quickly thoughts of Phantom flashed through my mind then disappeared.

He then sat down on the swing next to me.

"So what's up?" Danny said with a soft smile. It took me a second to remember why I needed to talk to him. I paused then looked down at the gravel and sighed.

"I don't really know how to put it. It's kinda a long slash short story. So my dad's an investor and all and the mayor took interest and that's where we were last night, at his house." That's the beginning of it I wasn't really sure how to explain the rest but when I looked back up at Danny I realized that I didn't have to explain how I felt too much about the Mayor.

When I looked back up at Danny his smile had vanished and his face had turned more serious than I have ever seen.

"You had dinner last night with Vlad Masters" He asked but mostly stated.

"Yea, there is something off about him I just don't know what-"

"You stay away from him Sam, he is dangerous." He said sternly.

I usually would have gotten mad at Danny for trying to protect me and not thinking I could handle myself, first I was a bit shocked by this side of Danny, but there was something really off about Vlad Masters and it was validating to know Danny felt the same way, that it wasn't just me.

"Danny..." I started, "another thing I wanted to talk about was that your family came up last night." Danny's eyes became wide and his face lost color.

"Danny, what's wrong? He didn't say anything bad he just said how your mother had brains and that you... That you're a special boy?"

Danny's eyes were still wide and worried.

"Hey, don't worry I won't believe anything he tells me, you are not special at all, he must be crazy"

I said giving a small smile to lighten up the mood.

Danny sighed looking a bit relieved, so I guess there is something that Vlad knows about Danny. Something that Danny doesn't want me to know.

"He is one crazed up fruitloop I will tell you that" Danny finally said. My small smile slowly slid away when I remembered the party he invited us to

"He is having a party for ghost inventors and investors and he told me he wanted to give me a personal tour of his lab, I don't-"

Danny stood up from the swing facing me and nearly shouted.

"YOU CANNOT BE ALONE WITH HIM"

I jumped up, angry that Danny had misdirecting his anger and shouted at me.

"Danny! Calm down, and cut it out! I was about to say before you cut me off, I don't want to be anywhere alone with him, I know there is something off about him okay? Don't get pissed at me"

Danny blinked realizing he was getting too intense and sat down.

"I-I'm sorry Sam."

I sat back down and looked at Danny, my anger had faded away and for once I was feeling a bit nervous.

"Hey Danny," I said quietly.

"I really don't want to ask this of you but do you think that since your parents might be invited do you think that maybe you could ask them to go? That way I won't be alone."

Danny looked troubled.

"I will, I will be there for you I promise."

I smiled and got up and hugged him.

"Thank you" It was a bit of an awkward hug since he was sitting on the swing but I rested my head on his shoulder and soaked up the warmth of the embrace.

"So now what?" I asked while sitting back onto the swing.

Now Danny really looked confused, he thought for a second then,

"Oh yea! I almost forgot to tell you that Tucker and I are planning on watching Guardians of the Galaxy at my house later. Tucker never got to see it in theaters because he was grounded for using his PDA at the dinner table too many times. You wanna come?" Danny said with a smile.

"That sounds awesome" I smiled at him.

Danny and I sat there talking about movies for a bit until he suddenly remembered that his parents needed him to work on some project in the lab.

"I would ask if you wanted to come and help but we had burritos for dinner last night and my dad is or was in the lab this morning and I don't want you to have to experience that smell."

I laughed.

"Okay then! Maybe next time I would love to help anytime"
