Onto the story.

Chapter 8

Spectra and Jazz finished their meal and proceeded to Amity Park Mall. Jazz wanted to get some new clothes for Penelope, who wanted to look for something for Jazz in return.

"Well here we are Penelope, the mall."

"I haven't been to one of these in ages."

"You're in for a real treat then. Most teens usually hang out with their friends in there, I just go to shop alone. It's nice to not go into the mall by myself."

"Jazz, we'll always be together. I love you."

"I love you too Penelope," Jazz said. She then gave Penelope a quick kiss on the lips.

"Mmm...so where do we go first?"

"Depends. How do you like to dress?"

"Well I always liked the basics, but a few graphic tees and maybe a few accessories could help my look. My suit and skirt are nice, but I'd like something a bit more relaxed," Penelope said. Her current wardrobe only consisted of the suit she wore last week, so this morning she wore only her button down shirt and skirt. It gave off a mildly different look.

"Then let's go to KD Nickel's, then to Epic Subject. They have some nice clothes at KDN, and Epic Subject has a few things you might be interested in."

"Then onward to the mall!"

"Wait, I don't have much money, how do we pay for this?"

"I was paid in advance at Casper High. Cashed the check and had the money all week. Never know when you'll need emergency funds."

"Very clever."

The two got out of the car and went into the mall. First, some regular clothes. They wouldn't impress, but Penelope liked a more relaxed look. Something a bit like Jazz, but with her own twist.

As they went into the store, Penelope saw the first thing she had to have.

"Jazz look! What a nice long sleeve shirt...and its from Lynn Byron, she made my suit," Spectra said inspecting the garment. It was a red long sleeve shirt with a V-neck. It was perfect for her, and matched her hair. A white shirt under it would give her a similar look to her old self.

They went around the tops, looking at various shirts and outwear. Spectra found a few thing's she liked. Jazz then had a suggestion.

"Let's check out some...do you like khakis or jeans?"

"Between the two, khakis. But I prefer a skirt. So let's check out those, then grab some pants for when it's cold."

Penelope found some new skirts in different colors. She always liked showing off her legs, pants would just hide them. And if the mood would ever catch her around, she could just snake her hand up her thigh.

Feeling satisfied Spectra had enough clothes for a while, she took her to the checkout. The bill was nearly $300, but Spectra charged $30 an hour at Casper High. Working five eight-hour days, she made over $1,000.

The next stop was Epic Subject, a store specializing in music, gothic, and pop culture clothes. It was there that Spectra ran into a bit of trouble in her mind.

"They have a lot of band shirts here. Lets see...Dumpty Humpty, Silver Flash, Distressed, N-Rage, The Beets, Ember McLain-"

"Wait, who was that last one?"

"Ember McLain. I haven't heard of her, but it's a shirt for something called Remember. No idea if that's a song, or album, or tour, or what."

'That's Ember alright. Guess she's spreading her name sooner than her tour starts. And its Saturday, meaning it's the night Kitty, Ember, and I get together. What if they come looking for me? They can't, they have no idea about Jazz. But what if they do find us, how will Jazz react to knowing they're like girlfriends?' Penelope's head was in overload. Should she introduce her old friends to Jazz?

'Maybe it would be best to be upfront with this matter. She took me being a ghost quite well.'

But her thoughts would have to wait. After seeing nothing that really appealed to her, she decided her and Jazz should look around the mall. On the first look about halfway through the mall, she spotted a store done in mostly pink, the sign read 'Debbie's Secret'.

Looking through the windows, it was apparent this was just the store she was hoping to find...a lingerie store.

'Jazz needs to loosen up. Perhaps feeling a bit sexier might help her confidence,'she thought to herself.

"Hey Jazz, let's go here."

"Um...I don't know-"

"Come on, I need some new underwear...and maybe we can find something for you while we're there."

"I really don't wear the 'sexy' kind of clothes, under or outer wear."

"You have a great body Jazz. Live a little and show it off. And who else but me will see it really?"

"No one I guess..."

"So you have nothing to be ashamed of. Come on Jazz, for me? Plus it might make our nights a bit more...kinky. ," Spectra said with a wink.

"Oh alright. But only because I love you."

"Great!" Penelope exclaimed, pulling Jazz into the store.

The two began browsing various displays. Jazz still felt uncomfortable in the store. She felt as though she were too young to be here. No one except her, Spectra, and the woman at the checkout were in the store at the time, which made her ease up a bit.

Spectra bypassed a mannequin of a woman in stockings and began to think.

'Fishnets...I always liked them on Kitty. I wonder if Jazz might enjoy wearing them...'

"Jazz, why don't you try some stockings? I bet you'd look...delicious in them," Penelope said, giving Jazz a seductive smile.

"Hmm...do you really think they'd look good on me?"

"Oh absolutely, they give your legs a sexy look while still revealing plenty of skin. They'd be perfect for you!"

"Al-Alright then," Jazz stammered, a bit uneasy about the hosiery choice, but since it made Penelope happy perhaps it was a good choice.

Jazz and Penelope proceeded to see the rest of the store, getting Jazz a few new things for her wardrobe. Penelope also began picking out new things for herself, who said Jazz got to have all the fun?

Satisfied with the new lingerie, they proceeded to the checkout.

-Meanwhile in the Ghost Zone

Kitty and Ember were discussing their now missing friend.

"Kitty, where's Spectra? Thought she'd be back last night. Our Saturday night in will be short one girl without her."

"Don't know Em. I mean she said she was going to Amity Park. Why she hasn't returned yet is beyond me."

"I say we check it out. Hey look, there's that freak of an assistant. HEY BERTRAND!" Ember yelled, spotting the homosexual dwarf.

"What?"

"Where's Spectra?" Ember asked.

"Well I don't know. That girl Jazz has her all to herself. She told me to leave, so I've been causing havoc and such around Amity Park, then came back-."

"Wait, who's Jazz?" Kitty asked.

"The halfa's sister. She's infatuated with her, I don't get it. I mean it's like the girl just took over Spectra's mind."

"Soooo...Spectra fell for a human? What the hell is she thinking? Maybe it's a trap from that ghost boy dipstick. He got Penelope to fall in love with Jazz I bet," Ember voiced.

"I have no idea Ember. Maybe she just fell for Jazz. I suppose stranger things have happened. I'm all for romance and true love, but Penelope isn't even alive. Plus...I'd miss our Saturday night hangouts without her."

"Agreed there. No boyfriend means no sex, and going solo just...well it gets boring and lonely. Getting together with you and Penelope is the only way I can get any relief."

"I feel the same way. Johnny...well...he's terrible in bed...he's just too lazy to have sex. He says 'hey Kitty, I'll lay on the bed and you straddle me.' He's useless. I say we find Penelope and at least see what's up. We can then get her back."

"That settles it, we're going to Amity Park."

-Back with Jazz and Penelope

"So Penelope, let's move you out of that old house and into Fenton Works,"

"What about your parents?"

"What about them?"

"Won't they object to suddenly having someone new move into their house?"

"I thought about that, but mom and dad have been working on new inventions, plus they want me to succeed in life, so having the niece of an actual therapist move into the house might be perfect," Jazz said.

"I see your point. Can't say I had anything really worthwhile intact house besides mine and Maddie's college files. Let's just grab them and head to your house."

'That's right...I've been meaning to look around the house for some of mom's old college stuff...' Jazz thought.

After a short drive back to Spectra's house, they retrieved the files.

"Penelope, you're like an exact copy of your college self. Won't my mom think you look familiar?"

"Well people always can look familiar. Your mother probably forgot what I looked like entirely whenever I went into the hospital..." Spectra said, with a look of sadness in her eyes at her memories of the past.

"Her loss is our gain, Penelope. You're smart, caring, beautiful, and we have a lot in common it seems. We make a great couple."

That seemed to cheer Penelope up a bit.

"Thank you Jazz. While she did hurt me, it's in the past. Now let's get your place."

-Later at Fenton Works

Spectra and Jazz entered the house. She began showing Penelope around, deciding to end the tour at her bedroom.

"So this is the home of the ghost hunters and a halfa...very nice place."

"It's nice, and Danny won't be home until tomorrow night. The same goes for my parents."

Penelope looked at Jazz and formed a sly grin.

"Feeling aroused already Jazz? Mmm...I love your erotic side."

"Well I have you to thank for it all Penelope. If it weren't for you..."

"Shhh...let's keep the romantic mood going."

End Chapter 8

Another new development in the saga. What are Ember and Kitty going to do? Break the couple up? Gotta keep reading to find out.

To clarify a few things: this is an alternative root from "My Brother's Keeper" (well...the time period anyway), Kitty and Ember weren't introduced for a few episodes, so they don't know Danny's friends or family...just the fact he's half ghost half human. And they never said Kitty, Ember, and Spectra weren't friends before GNO.
