After the Nasty Burger we all parted ways for the day. Other than the yellowing bruises on my body I was feeling fine thanks to my ghost healing. I gave my grandma and parents hugs for once and went up to my room just to relax, I really had never felt so light in my life.

At around 11:00 after watching a pixar movie that had been on TV I heard my phone buzz.

Danny: Meet at the park around 11:30?

I felt my heart flutter, biting back a smile I responded.

Sam: hmm a park at night with a boy? How cliche, should I sneak out the window?

A few seconds later I got my reply

Danny: I was thinking more like phase out the window, eh semantics.

Did he want me to show up as Spectra? Would he be there as Phantom? Should I go there then transform back into Sam? My heart beating hard I tried coming up with a reply for a minute then took a deep breath.

Sam: Are you asking Sam or Spectra?

That was good, I needed clarification. After a minute he replied.

Danny: Both, you are both and I think both are pretty amazing and I just want to see you.

If you had told me that A. A boy would be saying this stuff to me a few months ago and B. that my reaction would be dropping my phone on my bed and flailing my arms I would have laughed and said fuck no that is definitely not me. But here we are, phone on the bed and arms flailed.

Sam: ok. 11:30

It took 4 whole minutes to come up with that response. What has happened to me.

By that time it was about 11:15, I had 15 minutes to figure things out. I took a deep breath and got off my bed and looked into the mirror. My face was slightly flushed and my hair was a tangled mess. I decided I would brush my hair and let my face go back to its normal shade. After once I looked normal again I walked out and said goodnight to my mother, yawning and rubbing my eyes to make the performance more believable. I told her to just let me sleep and not check on me because it would wake me up and I needed one more night of good sleep to get back to normal. She looked sympathetic and told me to sleep well. I got back to my room and made sure I looked good enough in my sweatpants and crop top, hey gotta be cute and comfy. It was 11:25 so I decided I would wait until 11:30 until left to fly there, can't be too early. I took a deep breath and turned into Spectra and phased out the house.

When I got to the park I found Danny on the swing.

He got up when I landed to the ground and changed back into Sam. He had a look of awe in his eyes.

"That is definitely going to take some time to settle in." He said. I looked away blushing a bit.

"Hi."

"Hi" he replied.

"How are you feeling?" he said walking closer to me.

"More normal, I feel weird? Good but weird?" I said honestly.

"Same, I can't believe you are Spectra, I can't believe I've been crushing on Spectra this whole time" He said with his puppy eyes taking my hand.

"You… do you…" I said trailing off not wanting to say what my brain was telling me. My heart was a mix of happiness and confusion.

"What?" He asked concerned.

"Do you only like me because I am Spectra?" I said quietly. I had to know if he liked me for who I am or because I have powers and wear a tight suit.

"Sam. How could you think that? I have liked you since the second I ran into you, I think when we collided something hit a switch in my brain because the second I saw you I felt something I hadn't before." I looked down trying to hide the growing smile on my face.

"You being a ghost does make a difference though." I immediately looked up my smile vanished.

"It makes a difference because I feel like you will be able to understand me like no one has been able to before. You probably know what it was like starting high school being so scared and confused because you had these new powers you didn't understand." He said bending his knees to get more eye level with me since he was so tall. But what he said was true, I remember being so scared and not having anyone to talk to about it but Danny… Danny understood, I understood what he meant about us both being part ghost gave us a way to connect in a way no one had before.

"I" I started not knowing what to say so instead I just grabbed onto him and hugged him trying to show how comforting he was.

"Thank you Danny" I whispered.

Danny pulled back from the hug, he put one hand on my shoulder and brushed a stray hair out of my face.

"Can I kiss you?" he whispered our noses nearly touching, I nodded ever so slightly as he closed the distance between us. I awkwardly smiled while kissing him but I was just happy.

After making out for a solid 10 minutes I pulled back when an idea struck me.

"Wanna go on a midnight flight?" I asked turning into Spectra raising an eyebrow. Danny's response was turning into Phantom and wrapping his arms around me kissing me again. After a few seconds he asked,

"Ready?" looking mischievously but before I could respond he had shot us both up into the air.

We broke apart and I took his hand as we flew off into the night. We watched the stars, kissed, and even chased each other through the sky until dawn.

The night was over but our days together had just begun.
