Chapter 1: The Start
It was a beautiful Friday afternoon in the town known as Amity Park and everyone was thrilled that it was now time for the weekend. Also, aside from the occasional "visit" from Z-list ghosts, it has been a pretty dull few days in the otherwise hectic haunted town.
It has also been about a week since the chaotic school play at Casper High. However, that event was now behind them and some of the "stars" of that play were now doing one activity that they have come to do quite often together as a couple.
Star turned to face her beloved boyfriend Danny and grinned.
"Hurry up, slow poke!..."She shouted as she ran past him, being faster.
Danny panted but ran faster to follow her.
After about 5 more minutes of non-stop running, the couple soon stopped in front of the park and were now taking a break. Star used a towel to wipe off her sweat and soon grabbed two water bottles from her bag.
She then turned to her boyfriend and smiled approvingly.
"Excellent, that was your best time yet..."She said in an encouraging manner.
Danny, still sweaty, took the water and practically gulped it down.
"Not that it means much, you still creamed me in our race..."He said, but his tone showed that he wasn't angry.
Star giggled and sent him a cute look.
"True, but you're catching up. One of these days, you might even pass me...maybe..."She said in a coy way.
"Hardy har har..."Danny said, before drinking some more water.
Star giggled and got closer to him.
"I'm serious, this jogging together was a great idea and it's showing results. You're getting faster as a human..."She said, before eyeing him once more with a grin..."And the results are showing..."She said, as her man was getting in better shape since they started.
Danny heard this and smiled, feeling a little better upon hearing this.
"Well, I guess there is something to this jogging thing..."He said with a chuckle.
"You got that right, Boo..."Star said as she sent him a flirty look.
Danny returned it and the two shared a quick kiss, making the ghost boy feel better about this exercise arrangement of theirs.
Once they pulled away, a grumbling sound was heard. Danny looked a little sheepish.
"Sorry, I'm getting a little hungry. Can we end it here today, Starlight?..."He asked.
Star thought about it and also felt hungry. She nodded.
"Alright, we already did about 3 miles today. I think we can end it there..."She said.
"Thank goodness!..."Danny thought, relieved to take a break and to grab a bite.
Later
Danny and Star changed out of their jogging wear and soon went to grab a bite to eat. They went to a nearby ramen shop and soon ordered noodles to calm their hungry stomachs.
"Delicious!..."Star said before slurping some more noodles.
"I'll say. I'm so glad that this place opened up..."Danny said, before eating some more.
After about 10 minutes, they finished their first bowls and Danny looked content.
"That hit the spot..."He said, more relaxed now.
"You got that right..."Star said, before finishing the last of her ramen's broth.
Once done, she grabbed a napkin and wiped her lips in a lady-like fashion. She then turned to her boyfriend, curious about what to do now.
"So, what do you wanna do now? We already jogged for 3 miles, did squats, jumping jacks and meditated together..."Star said.
"That last one was honestly my favorite part of the work out..."Danny muttered.
Star rolled her eyes at that.
"You'll thank me for doing this with you in time..."She said, confident.
Danny sighed.
"I know..."He said, before smirking.
"Though I will admit, this is almost as bad as gym class...but seeing how cute you look in your jogging clothes makes up for it..."Danny said with a grin.
Star giggled and gave him a light, playful punch in the arm.
"Oh, you..."She said, giggling.
"Seriously though. We still got a good 4 hours before curfew...anything you wanna do right now?..."She asked.
"I can think of a few things..."Danny said as he sent her a flirty look, one that Star knew the meaning off.
Getting the message, the blonde girl and her boyfriend paid for their ramen and soon left for a more...private place.
They arrived to a nearby alley, and Danny tuned to his girlfriend.
"Okay, Starlight. I-..."Danny was cut off when his girlfriend grabbed him by the shoulders and pushed him against the wall.
Right then and there, she began passionately kissing him as they were away from prying eyes.
Danny quickly melted into the kiss and felt giddy.
"I LOVE it when she's like this!..."He thought as he eagerly wrapped his arms around her as the kiss deepen.
The happy couple remained like that for a while, feeling love and bliss as they enjoyed a rather pleasant day together overall.
However, neither had any idea what tomorrow would bring...though right now, they didn't know or care as they were lost in the kiss.
"I love this woman/guy!..."The both thought in amorous bliss as they kept making out for a LONG while.
Meanwhile
A certain spoiled brat with fake red haired was in the privacy of her room right now.
It was Colette, who was bored out of her mind.
Her stepmother had left to go to some meeting at the country club and she took Pierre with her. Her father had to go meet with some client and had just left.
The spoiled girl was alone and bored. Sure, she had the option of calling up her "popular friends" to hang out but she didn't want to.
Why? Because she didn't even like them but only tolerated them to keep up appearances...even if Dash was still an obnoxious idiot with all the charm and grace of a brainless gorilla and Paulina was a total witch that almost drives her crazy each time they are forced to hang out.
"The things I do to maintain my social status..."Colette thought with a sigh.
She laid in her bed, totally bored.
However, her eyes landed on a certain photo and she smiled.
It was one of MANY photos that she had of the boy of her dreams and the very one whom she is determined to marry one day.
"Oh, Danny!~..."Colette whispered as she took the photo and admired it.
She then frowned, feeling angry about something and we all knew what it was about.
"No doubt, Estelle is with you, no doubt still poisoning your mind against me and she is convincing you that she is perfection. But rest assured, my love...I swear that one day, I shall find a way to break the hold she has over you and help you realize that you were always meant for more than this backwater town, like me. Then, you will be mine forever..."Colette said dramatically before she planted several dozen kisses onto the photo, imagining he was kissing her back.
All that mattered to her was claiming Danny, one way or another.
However, she wasn't the ONLY girl who dreamed of the dark haired boy...and had a grudge against the blonde beauty whom held his heart.
There was another, one who was using more...unusual methods of trying to win his heart.
One who right now, is longing for Danny in her own way.
Elsewhere
A young lady was alone in her home, her family had left to go do their own thing. She was alone and she liked it this way.
She decorated the kitchen with an elegant table cloth and added some candlelit, as well as dimmed the lights in the area...
Why?
Well, she was having dinner and she was enjoying her time with her date.
"Let me know if you want any more green beans, Danny..."The girl said as she sent a loving smile to what looked to be Danny Fenton.
However, he didn't react outside of an almost robotic happy face. After another minute, the figured that resembled Danny soon vanished and the girl sighed.
"Well, at lest this illusion lasted longer than the last one..."She thought, since it lasted about 10 minutes.
She then opened the spell book, doing the hand signs to conjure up another illusion.
Before she did so, she sighed in frustration and longing.
"What I'd give for the REAL one to be here with me right now. But I'm not worried. It's only a matter of time before I get to do this with the real one...and neither Star nor that Danny Phantom will get in my way..."She thought with a smirk, her eyes flashing green briefly before going back to normal.
The girl then waited to make sure no one was looking through the window until she conjured another illusion of the boy whom she desired, still keeping that smile.
She kissed "him" lightly on the cheek before continuing her mock-up date, preparing for a real one.
Oh man.
