Changes
Changes can affect a person to a great extent. Take Danny for instance. He was a normal 14-year old boy until the accident with the Fenton Portal. Now he was the savoir of Amity Park.
Other changes are minor, easily forgotten. Like every time Tucker gets a new PDA.
Sometimes changes can make or break a person's life. Take Valerie. She was rich and popular until a certain ghost boy accidently forced her to accept a life of poverty.
What about changes that impact your future? Sure, suddenly going poor is a big change, but is won't endanger your life unless you chose to go crazy and become a ghost hunter bent on revenge...anyway, I'm off topic. Danny had to make the right choice about the C.A.T test, or face the horrible future as Dark Dan.
Sam looked at the essay she had written. Granted, it would need some tweaking so she didn't blow Danny's secret to Lancer. Oh, or Valerie's. But if she didn't get the A this paper deserved, she would have a little talk with Lancer.
