A/N: Hey, guys. It's Colin E. Chambers, here, with another chapter.
Okay, first off, I'm aware that i've been spelling Kitty's name wrong, and I'm going to fix that.
Second off, I'm accepting OC's for William's own enemies. The one I like most will be his arch enemy, so think hard. If you guys have any ideas, please, I'm begging you, send it in through a PM, or in a review.
Thank you Spidey2 for the review. I smiled so hard when I read it. :o)

Chapter Two: A Date With Desiree: Part One
"who are you?" Asked William, staring up at the beautiful, green skinned ghost floating above him.
"I, am Desiree, and I have come to grant your every wish." The ghost woman floated towards William, cupping his mummified chin seductively. William brushed her off.
"No thanks." Said William, walking away from Desiree.
"No Thanks?" Desiree was shocked. "No thanks? I come here and offer you anything you could ever dream of, and you reply as 'No Thanks?' How ungrateful."
"Look, it's not that I don't appreciate the offer, it's just that I'm pretty happy with my afterlife right now." William placed his hands behind his head, closed his eye, and just floated around for a bit.
"Well, what am I supposed to do?" Desiree was annoyed by this boys indifference. "I must stay until I have fulfilled your first wish." William's eye snapped open.
"What wish? I don't remember making any... God Damn it." William suddenly remembered wishing for someone to hang out with. When he'd said that, he meant someone he knew. Desiree grinned at his realization.
"Yes, which means we are stuck together until we have officially 'Hung out.'" The ghost genie made air quotes with her fingers when she said this. William sighed in slight annoyance. Sure, he was a happy-go-lucky guy when he was alive, but being dead made him rather bitter.
"So, what do you want to do?" He asked. Desiree just stared at him for a moment.
"Why are you asking me? It's your wish." The ghost woman began inspecting her nales.
"Do you think?" Desiree nodded. "Then you have opinions."
"Why would you care about my opinions?" Asked Desiree, slightly surprised.
"What? Nobodies ever asked your opinion before?"
"No." William felt somewhat guilty for making fun of the ghost woman.
"Well, I am asking your opinion. What would YOU like to do, Desiree?"
"Well, I need to get to the fountain for the daily dose of wishes." Said Desiree, floating through the wall. She peeked her head back through when she noticed that he wasn't following her. "What are you waiting for?"
"This is my chill time." Said William. Desiree frowned at him.
"Can't you have your "Chill Time" some other time?" Asked Desiree. What was with this guy? Why did he seem so bitter?
"Well, I guess so." Said William, still floating lazily, but this time he followed Desiree.
AT THE FOUNTAIN
"Okay, we're here." Said William. "What are we doing here?"
"Well, you see, the more wishes I grant, the more powerful I become." Said Desiree. "And where better to grant wishes than a wishing fountain?"
"Yeah, I see the logic in that." Said William, laying on the ground with his hands bihind his head.
"Why are you so lazy?" Asked Desiree.
"Hey, I think I deserve to be lazy, since you came in and ruined my chill time." Said William, rolling over on his side. Desiree sighed and went invisible so the humans wouldn't see her. William opened his eye to make sure nothing went out of hand.
The first guy who came up to the fountain wished for a new car. Desiree granted him unused car parts, that if put together, would make a prius. Too bad the guy didn't know shit about cars.
Next was a woman who wished for a good looking fireman in her life, but nothing happened. William frowned, floating up to float by Desiree.
"Aren't you going to grant her wish?" Asked William. Desiree laughed an evil laugh.
"Oh, I already have. Watch." Suddenly, the woman's phone started ringing. She answered it, and her face was one of shock.
"My house is WHAT!?" The woman ran away in the direction of a large smoke cloud billowing up from a residential area.
"Did you... Set her house on fire?" Asked William. Desiree grinned evilly.
"Firemen will be at her house in just a few moments, and at least one of them must be handsome." Said the genie ghost.
"That is some double edged bullshit." Said William, disapprovingly. "Why do you do that to people?"
"Well, for one, I get a power boost for every wish I grant, and for two, I get to torment the living, and they just ask for it." Desiree laughed again. William sighed at her behavior.
"So it's malicious then." He said, more of a statement than a question. Desiree frowned at him.
"Why should you care about the living? You're not one of them." Said the ghost genie.
"It's not about what I am. It's about who I am." William sighed, somewhat annoyed at seeing that Desiree didn't understand. "It just doesn't sit right with me to see people treated like that. Ghost or otherwise."
"So, you think that I should grant wishes that don't backfire?" Asked Desiree, glaring at William for questioning her haunting methods.
"I'm not saying to stop messing with people. Nothing's wrong with a little harmless pranking." William floated upside down with his hands behind his head again. "Just, don't be cruel. I actually laughed when that guy wished for the car, but I feel bad that the woman lost her house."
"Is that your obsession?" Asked Desiree, eyeing William with absolutely no intention of doing what he said. She was actually surprised he didn't just wish for her to do that.
"What do you mean by 'Obsession?'" Asked William.
"Well, usually when we die, we have... issues that keep us from being at piece. What's yours?"
"Honestly, the reason I left the ghost zone was because I was bored there." Said William. Desiree smirked. She knew he was lying.
"Come on. Tell me the truth." Said Desiree.
"Okay, fine." Said William. "My friends and I were driving down the highway. My friend crashed, I couldn't stop him, and I suffered injuries that killed me a week later. I died knowing I could have helped my friends if I were stronger."
"So, your friends are your obsession?" Asked Desiree. William shrugged.
"I guess." And now, William was depressed. Desiree chose this moment to strike, seeing that William was emotionally vulnerable.
"You know, I can grant any wish I want." Said the woman.
"What's your point?"
"Just wish to see your friends." Said Desiree.
"No. I'm not into that double edged bullshit. I'm still dealing with the consequences of my first wish." William crossed his arms, still floating upside down.
"Consequences?" Desiree pouted. "You're spending the day with a good looking woman. How is that a consequence?"
"Yeah, you're good looking." Said William. "But your beauty is only skin deep. You take pleasure in causing pain. Why is that, by the way? What happened to you to make you so evil?"
"When I was alive, I was just a harem girl." Said Desiree, looking down in sadness as she remembered her past. "I won the affections of a kind Sultan, whom made me his concubine. Yes, at first all I cared about was the money and gifts I was showered with, but soon, I began to grow feelings for him. His wife did not enjoy the attention he was giving me."
"She had you thrown out." Said William, putting two and two together. "You died in the desert because of some other woman's jealousy." Desiree nodded. William felt bad for her. Sure, his death was physically painful, but her death was mentally and emotionally painful, which is much worse. Floating upright, the fire based ghost moved over towards Desiree. She deserved o be happ for what she's been through, and all he's done is ridicule her. He would have said something to try and comfort her, but another wisher walked to the fountain.
'I already don't like this guy.' Thought William when he felt the way Desiree tensed at seeing him. He was a fat, sleezy looking man, with greasy hair. All in all, he looked like a cliche shithead.
"Alright, bitch. You know what I'm here for." Said the sleezball. Desiree looked disgusted, but moved to go to the man anyway.
"Tell me what he wants, first." Said William.
"I must go an-" Desiree was cut off by words she never thought she'd hear.
"I wish you would stay here and tell me what he wants."
"So you wish it, and so shall it be." She said. "Every once in a while, he comes here and wishes for me to let him ravage my body, then wishes for me to do nothing to him." Desiree looked down in shame at what she's had to endure. "I cannot refuse any wish. This is my curse."
William was shaking with barely restrained rage. That scumbag... How dare he think he can get away with this.
"I wish for you to stay here and enjoy the show." Said William. Desiree frowned, but nodded. William went invisible and flew down to the man.
"So, you like screwing women when the can't stop you, huh?" Asked William. The man looked around, but he couldn't see who'd spoken. "I'm about to teach you why that sort of thing is bad for your health." William picked the man up by his shirt, and the man began freaking out.
"SOMEBODY HELP! GHOST!' Shouted the man. William began pounding on the man, slamming him into the ground, punching him until his face was bloodied. William finally stopped when he noticed he'd knocked the man out. Floating back up to Desiree, he saw her eyes were wide with disbelief.
"Why?" She asked. He scratched the back of his mummified head.
"Well, nobody deserves to have to suffer like that." William frowned down at the man he had just pulverized. William smiled over to Desiree and held out his hand. "Now, I wish for us to have some real fun." Desiree smiled.
"You have wished it, so shall it be."
...
A/N: Hey, yah, so... I really didn't mean for this chapter to be a double parter, but the way I wrote it, it would have been too long.
Desiree seems to be warming up to our young fire ghost.
Again, please send in OC's for William to fight. And you know what? I'll even accept OC's to be his friends.
