A/N: Oooooooooooh! I'm a ghoooooooost! ;D And I own Danny Phantom!

...

Ok, both those things were a lie. :3 I'm not a ghost and I don't own Danny Phantom. On with the story!

"Okay, so, like, am I half ghost now?" Paulina inquired curiously.

She was sitting outside with the sun (or, at least, that's what it appeared to be, because Paulina really couldn't tell if there was a sun in the Ghost Zone) beaming down at her. Both her and the beautiful ghost, Dora, were walking outside in the palace garden. Today, the blonde queen had released her braid, letting her blonde waves tumble down to her waist.

"No." Dora responded lightly. "Danny is half ghost, not you. You merely absorbed some of my amulet's power. You were the first human to wear that one." Dora bent down and gently plucked a flower from the ground.

It was only a couple days before that Aragon had kidnapped Paulina Sanchez and Danny Fenton, and around the time Paulina had developed feelings for the raven-haired teen.

She found out about the powers she absorbed from Dora's amulet, using her recently discovered powers to help Phantom. She then proceeded to find out that her former crush Phantom was her current crush Fenton.

And, now, here she was in Dora's regained kingdom.

"You know, dragons naturally have enhanced sense of sight and hearing," the queen in question cast Paulina a sideways glance.

"What about smell?" Paulina tilted her head to the side, curiousity lighting her eyes.

Dora smiled lightly. "Yes, our sense of smell is slightly better in comparison to most humans and ghosts. Although, that is little compared to sound and vision."

"So what about the fire thingy? Can I do any cool tricks?" Paulina smiled hopefully, her eyes widening with ecstasy.

"Ah, yes. We also have a heat core." Dora nodded and placed a hand over her midsection. "This is the source of our power. It is what allows us to control our fire."

Paulina caught a glimpse of Danny as he approached them. Her heart was sent into hyperdrive.

"Lord Phantom, you have arrived." Dora cracked a smile as Danny gave her an awkward bow.

"Uh, sorry. I, uh, came to check on Paulina." He blushed ever so slightly and pointed over to a spot in the distance. "I'll just...go sit over there."

Paulina fought back a giggle. 'Danny looked so cute when he-'

"Lady Paulina," Dora's voice interrupted the girl's thoughts, "you must learn to find serenity when in times of anger. You must activate your power through the warmth of a flame and not the rage of a scorching fire. This is our first lesson."

"Yeah, yeah." Paulina waved her off impatiently. "Can we just, like, skip to the part where we throw fireballs!"

Dora frowned. "Lady Paulina, controlling a fire is not a simple task. Our fire has a great connection with our emotions, thus a feiry temper like yours results in wild fires."

Danny suddenly burst out laughing, causing Paulina to turn around and glare at him. Apparently, a maid had gotten him a chair and he was sitting comfortably with a clear view of the Hispanic girl and the British lady. "Oh, Paulina definitely has a temper."

Paulina rolled her eyes, ignoring the comment.

"Lady Paulina, you must learn to create a small fire. One that is warm and tame." Dora smiled encouragingly. "Let us begin."

:~:~:~:~:~:~:

Danny held Paulina's hand as they carefullly flew out of the Ghost Zone and into his parents' lab. He couldn't help but continue laughing.

"That's not funny!" Paulina smacked his arm -not hard enough to leave a bruise, but definitely hard enough for him to feel pain.

"Are you kidding?" His glowing green eyes radiated humor. "That was hilarious. You nearly fried the maid's hair!"

"Danny! Pendejo!(1) Quit laughing!" Her eyes flashed a red color that disappeared almost as instantly as it came.

"Okay, okay." Danny wiped a tear from his eyes. "Calm down. I had the same problem too." He admitted running a hand through his snow white hair. Guilt flooded through him as he noticed Paulina's hurt expression.

"Really?" She inquired hopefully.

"Yeah. Only, it was worse. See, I didn't know what to do about these new powers I had, 'cause I had no one to tell me what was going on. I felt cold -scratch that- I was freezing all the time. So, when I found out about my ice powers, I went to visit an old friend, Frostbite. He told me I had an ice core, and he helped me control my ice powers. I froze almost all of his helpers." Danny's smile widened. "That's also where I got my ghost sense from."

"Ghost sense?" Danny noticed a sudden spark in her bright eyes. Almost as if she realized something.

"What?" Danny asked.

"Nothing, I just need to ask Dora about something." She grew thoughtful. She looked so cute when she was thinking. How did she feel about him? After all, she'd asked Phantom about confessing her feelings to Fenton. But that was before she found out his secret. How did she feel about him now?

"It says it's this way!" Jack's voice boomed from upstairs interrupting Danny's thoughts. His shout was followed by a female's monotone voice. "Ghost up ahead."

Danny sucked in a breath. He barely managed to revert to human form when his mother and father burst into the lab.

"Ghost right in front of you. You must be a complete moron to not notice the ghost right in front of you." Jack's device was aimed right at Danny.

"What? This stupid thing isn't working again!" Jack began pounding on his device with his large fist.

"Now, now sweetheart." Maddie pulled off the hood of her blue hazmat suit revealing her short red hair. "It's alright, we can fix it."

"But it's not broken." Paulina commented with a smile. "It's pointing the Ghost Portal, right?" She motioned to the portal which just so happened to be right behind Danny.

Maddie gasped. "She's right honey!"

"Ha! I knew it! I never doubted myself even for a minute!" Jack smiled triumphantly.

"Uh, sure dad. Now if you don't mind. Me and Paulina will be leaving now." (Lol. Notice I didn't write Paulina and I. Get it? Cause he said...and it was... ~sigh~ no one ever laughs at my jokes. Continue reading.)

"Alright son!" Jack smacked his son on the back, causing him to wince. "Just remember to bring back some fudge!"

Danny took the opportunity to tug Paulina out of the lab. He barely managed to hear his mother yell after him, "Just be back before curfew or you're grounded again!"

Danny rolled his eyes. Of course he'd probably come late because of the stupid ghosts that were constantly terrorizing his town. And his life.

"Uh, Danny?" Paulina glanced up at him as soon as they arrived outside. She wore a curious, suspicious, and not very happy expression.

Danny frowned. "What? Did I say something wrong? Did my parents embarass you?" Her unexpected answer pulled out a confused expression.

"Who's that?" She frowned with annoyance as she pointed somewhere behind him.

Danny froze as a voice spoke up behind him right on queue. "Hello little badger."

A/N: YES! Chapter 2, done! BTW, I've been sitting in the car for several hours while typing this. Yup, so by the time I post this, I'll probably have a computer to mess around with. Anyways, please review. For the next person that reviews, I'll give them a basket of my own hand-made tortillas! :3 Is that a yes? Anyone? T.T fine. How about my mom's homemade tortillas?

P.S. If you haven't read the Cool Heat, Paulina has a power. Her eyes turn red with vertical slits as pupils; her nails grow sharper, longer, and more dangerous; and she has fireballs! Yay! We get to see stuff burn! Lol. Please R&R. Read the prequel to this!
