It was finally Friday and school was done for the week. Val decided I had to watch Legally Blonde was coming over later tonight to watch Legally Blonde. I was getting home from school I got out of my car when my ghost senses went off.

Wow, a whole week without any ghost attacks, I thought.

I turned into a ghost and flew up into the sky. I didn't see anything out of the ordinary so I continued to fly around. I was drawn to the park where I saw Phantom floating near the top of the trees looking for something.

"Long time no see." I said as I flew up towards him. He looked relieved yet worried.

"I know, the one time I actually need a ghost attack and there are none for the whole week! Unheard of!" He scoffed.

"Need a ghost attack?" I asked confused. We floated down into the tree and sat on the higher up branches so no one would see us.

"Yea, I needed to see you, to give you this."

He pulled out a silver thermos with a black lid and tossed it towards me.

"Remember how I said you would owe me for this?" he had a serious look on his face.

"I do recall that, yes."

He looked away to the side slouching, a slight breeze fluttered his white hair across his stunning green eyes.

"Look" He sighed,

" I need your help."

"How do I put this..." He muttered to himself, then looked up.

"Okay, so do you know the mayor, Vlad Masters?"

I could feel my eyes get wide, I looked at him questioningly.

"Yea, but I don't know much about him though"

"He is having a party next Saturday night and I need you to be there." He straightened up.

"I need you to help protect someone and make sure that Vlad isn't up to anything"

He sounded like Danny almost... I was too distracted by what Phantom was asking to think anymore about that though.

"What would he be up to you think? And how do you know about this party?" And how would I be able to help him when I had to be at the party myself?

"Let's just say I have known Vlad for... A long time... This party is for ghost hunters and investors and-"

"And you think it would be a good idea for me, a ghost, to be in an area surrounded by ghost hunters?"

What was he playing at? Did he want me to go away? Was he setting me up?

"No! Just- I-" He went from sitting on the branch to floating in front of it, his hands were tangled in his hair frustrated.

"I need you to protect her!" He nearly shouted.

"Her?" I asked quietly and curiously getting up from the branch floating in front of him.

Phantom looked up surprised at what he had said.

"I uh-"

"What is she in danger of?" I asked calmly trying to help calm him down.

"Vlad. I don't know what he is up to or if he is up to anything at all. She doesn't say it but I can tell that she is a little scared of him, I don't know what he did but I have never seen her get that look in her eyes..." It made my heart pang with the pain in his eyes for worrying about the girl, he must really care for her.

"Phantom, I need to know, what is up with Vlad? There has to be more than just he is a creep." Maybe Phantom knew what the real thing was or I could try to ask Danny maybe but he might get angry. It was weird this interaction with Phantom keeps me thinking about Danny.

Phantom looked very unsure of what to say.

"Look, I am trying my best to give you all the information you need but also I need you to know that I am withholding information from you because if he ever found out you know... It would put you in danger and I can't do that to you."

His eyes were full of worry. He blinked then sighed.

"Let's just say he has control over some ghost and uses their powers for his benefit. He is very dangerous. I know it's asking a lot of you to be there for the price of the thermos but I need help." He finished.

I really want to help him but my parents are forcing me to be there as Sam.

"Where will you be in all of this?" I asked.

Again he looked frustrated.

He sighed.

"I will be there but you won't see me... He knows who I am and a lot of ghost hunters there know me and have been trying to hunt me down. If you need me at all let out a short ghostly wail or shoot a plasma blast into the sky or I don't know get creative and figure out a way to get my attention."

"I am not saying yes I will be there, I need a day or two to figure some things out, okay?" Phantom looked a bit irritated but nodded.

"Hey, I really do want to help you, I want to protect who ever this person is if she means so much to you. We are friends right?" I gave him a small smile. For as much as we flirted and nearly kissed we were friends somehow.

Phantom suddenly pulled me into a hug and whispered,

"Thank you." He said as three large unusual looking vultures that had been sitting at the top of the tree flew away.
