Okay, I'm finally back with the next chapter. Enjoy!


The young ghosts were wrapped in bright light. They screamed as they felt a stinging pain along with shock. Their eyes were shut tight. Red energy began to glow around Shadow's hand while green energy encircled Abby's. Some force drew their gloved hands together. The two shrieking teens had no idea what was going on and didn't even acknowledge it when their glowing hands touched. The moment their hands came into contact, the energy from the other encircled them. Shadow had a green aura around him and Abby; a red one. A final flash of light was set off and it swallowed up the two. When they light had faded, Shadow and Abby Phantom lay on the ground.

Danny, still in ghost form, ran up to them. The fourteen-year-old ghosts heaved themselves up from the ground, rubbing their sore heads.

"Okay, that hurt." Shadow admitted.

"Are you guys okay?" Danny asked worriedly.

"Yeah, Dad, I think so." Abby responded. "What happened?"

"You two wished that the other one knew what it was like when someone judged you on how you look. It doesn't seem to have done anything, though." Danny explained. "Shadow…" Danny started, but then he realized that the notorious ghost had vanished. "If nothing else, that kid will become famous for his mysterious disappearances."

"As long as he's gone, who cares?" Abby commented bitterly.

"Abby, didn't I tell you to stay in your room?" Danny lectured.

"Yes." She groaned.

"Home, now. I have to go on patrol and look for Desiree. I don't want you leaving your room for the rest of the day." Danny ordered.

Abby angrily flew off.

"What am I going to do with that girl?" Danny groaned.


"Kids, Danny, I'm home!" Sam shouted as she walked through the door.

"Hi, Mom." Jake greeted tiredly.

"Dad and Abby out ghost hunting again?" Sam questioned when she noticed that no one else was coming.

"Dad's on patrol and Abby's in her room. Dad grounded her." Jake explained.

"Do I even want to know?" She inquired.

"Probably not." Jake replied.

Sam sighed. "Wanna help with dinner?"

"Sure." Jake agreed. At least this way he could get his mind off of things.


"I just don't get it! Desiree granted their wishes, so why did nothing change?" Danny questioned Sam that night.

"Danny, you're being paranoid again. Why can't you ever just be glad that nothing happened and forget about it?" Sam responded.

"Sam, you know me." Danny told her.

"I guess I should know by now that you never just relax and forget, but I think that you should at least try. Come on, it's late. Why don't we get some sleep and maybe things will seem better in the morning." Sam advised.

"Better in the morning? Are you sure that you're Sam? My Sam doesn't usually put better and morning together." Danny teased.

Sam sighed tiredly. Danny was such a goofball, but she wouldn't have it any other way.


Jake woke up in the middle of the night due to his ghost sense. He sighed tiredly as he tossed the black covers aside and shoved himself out of bed. He transformed, taking no notice that his black rings had become white. He was too tired to realize anything actually. The young ghost yawned and flew outside. He scanned the dark sky for the ghost that had disturbed his sleep.

"Desiree?" He asked, spotting the genie ghost.

"Oh, if it isn't the little troublemaker?" She hissed in her enchanting voice.

"What did you do to me and Abby?" Shadow demanded.

"You haven't figured it out yet? Oh, well. You will soon enough. But for now…" She trailed off, smacking him away so that he collided with a brick wall. "I can't have you interfering with my plans." She finished.

Shadow groaned and got up, only to find that his Dad was up and fighting. He tiredly flew toward the fight. The young ghost fired a ghost ray. He jolted in surprise when he noticed that instead of his normal red beam, this one was green like his Dad and Abby's. The blast still hit the wishing ghost hard and she was jutted back. Shadow stared curiously at his smoking hand.

"Abby, I thought I told you to…" Danny started, but then turned around and realized that it wasn't Abby he was talking to. "Shadow? How...how did you do that?" Danny questioned.

"I'll let you know when I figure it out." Shadow responded with a hint of shock and surprise in his voice.

"Well, whatever. Right now, we just have to beat…I really need to start paying more attention." Danny noted. Desiree had gone.

"Hey, Dad. Where's the party?" Abby questioned, coming out of the wall that was hiding her room.

"Abby, I told you to stay in your room." Danny reminded his daughter. "Although, I think that there's something we need to check first." Danny stated. "Shadow, get back here." The father groaned tiredly, knowing that this was about the time that the mysterious ghsot would disappear.

Shadow turned himself visible and came back with an almost guilty expression. Darn it! He had been caught.

"What's he doing here?" Abby spat.

"Abby, calm down! Shadow was helping me fight Desiree. That's not important now, though. Abby, I need you to shoot a ghost ray." Danny ordered.

"Why?" She questioned.

"Just do it." Danny sighed.

She did as she was told and yelped in surprise when she saw a red blast instead of green.

"What happened?!" She interrogated.

"I have a theory. I think that the wish you two made yesterday is transforming you to look more like the other. Watch. Shadow, I want you to do the same thing." Danny requested.

Shadow wordlessly fired off his own beam, which was now green. Abby looked shocked and Danny appeared thoughtful.

"But…but how?" Abby stuttered.

"I already told you, Desiree granted the wishes you made yesterday." Danny answered.

Suddenly, the two started rubbing their eyes. They burned! When the burning sensation died, the teens removed their hands from their eyes to reveal that Shadow's were now green and Abby's were red.

"Ow, what was that?!" Abby questioned, referring to the burning sensation.

"I think you two need to see something." Danny stated.

Danny used his ice powers to form a sheet of reflective ice, like a mirror. The young ghosts looked curiously at their reflections. They noticed the change in eye color. They jolted back from their images. Abby seemed a lot more shocked than Shadow. Of course, with most of his face covered, a lot of what the ghost boy (again, weird) was feeling didn't show through.

"Okay, that's weird." Shadow admitted dully.

"How can you be so calm?!" Abby shouted.

Shadow just shrugged. Really, after the last two months, almost nothing surprised him now.

"Dad, what are we going to do?! I don't want to end up like him!" Abby panicked.

Shadow cast her a dirty look. Abby didn't take any notice.

"We're going to have to find Desiree and wish things back." Danny concluded. "In the meantime, maybe you'll learn a lesson about judging people. I think that everyone should go to sleep now. Abby, you have school tomorrow."

Abby returned glumly to her room, Danny took off as well, and Shadow waited for them to go before going back to his room. He couldn't let them see him heading into Jake's room.
