DISCLAIMER: I DON'T OWN DANNY PHANTOM NOR SHEZOW

Gai wandered the streets of Amity Park. The humiliation of his latest defeat still lingering in his mind. He had them, he had Danny Phantom, Dani, Dudepow, and that other girl whose name he forgot, right where he wanted them! Then out of nowhere all these newcomers came rushing in and ruining everything! Of course he believes that he could still taken them on but there's another reason he had to make a hasty retreat. Gai screamed in pain as his body felt like it was being torn in two! "Why is this happening now!" Gai groaned. Then he recalled that strange device that those sidekicks made him fly through. That's when all this started! Now he's regretting destroying that device since it might be the only thing that can cure him, or maybe he can just sleep it off. "Yeah, that's what I'll do, get some rest," Gai decided as he went invisible and snuck into the fanciest hotel and made his way up to the Presidential suite where found a lone occupant.

"Did you bring me my dinner?" the man asked mistaking Gai for the bell hop.

"No, I'm just here for your room!" Gai fired a low level ecto-beam knocking the man out. "Ah," Gai sighed as he made himself comfortable on the sofa. Just then he heard a knocking on the door.

"Room service," the bell hop announced carting in a lobster meal!

"I can get use to this," Gai said as gorged himself. "Would you like some?" Gai offered while laughing at his unconscious companion. Naturally the man did not respond. "No? Okay more for me!" Gai said stuffing his face. "That hit the spot," Gai belched. "Now a quick shower," Gai said going in the bathroom, then walking out a second later wiping his face a wet cloth. "That should be quick enough, and now a good night sleep. Then tomorrow, rejoin with my minions so that together we can take the heroes down!" Gai laughed as jumped on the bed, but for some reason he couldn't get himself to sleep. The fact his roommate still laying on the floor kept bothering him. "Oh man, I just can't sleep knowing you're there on the cold hard floor." Gai said sympathetically as he picks up the poor man and then throws him into the closet! "There now I don't have to look at you," Gai said jumping back into bed. This time he slept most comfortably.

Meanwhile back with the Heroes. "I can't believe Gai is evil," Dani sobbed.

"It wasn't your fault Dani," Danny trying to console his clone. "You didn't know."

"Thanks Danny," Dani said wiping her tears.

"So let me get one thing straight," Valerie turning to Inviso-belle. "You're suppose to be alternate gender-bent version of Ghost-boy from another dimension?"

"That's right," Inviso-belle confirmed.

"Just like how I'm alternate version of Shezow," Dudepow said.

"That's amazing," Valerie said. "Speaking of which, hey Tucker didn't you say that Shezow is on her way here?"

"That's the message I got from Maz," Tucker said showing the message. "Oops, I miss read it, they're leaving tomorrow. Apparently they're going to rest first before coming here."

"OOH, I can't wait!" Valerie getting excited.

"I doubt Shespook will cause anymore problems right now, so why don't we all go home and get a goodnight sleep," Danny suggested. "Uh Dudepow, Inviso-Belle, if you want, you two can stay at my place."

"OH NO!" Sam interjected. "They can stay at my place, I have more room at my house!" Sam argued.

"Okay, if you insist," Danny feeling a little freaked out by Sam's outburst. "You better go with them as well," Danny instructed Dani. "Just in case you need another ecto-transfusion from her." Dani gestured in agreement before running to the ghost-girl's side.

"So Sam, trying to score some quality time with the big buff hero from another dimension." Belle nudging and pointing to Dudepow like a gossiping school girl. Sam glared at Danny's alter ego with irritation.

"She doesn't know does she?" Tucker whispered to Dudepow.

"Nope," Dudepow confirmed.

Later on their way to Sam's house, she stopped them about a block away from her house. "Alright you guys, as clueless as my parents are, I can't have you all showing up in those getups. We're trying to keep a low profile after all." Sam pointed out.

"Oh right," the two female Phantoms getting the hint, reverting back to their human forms.

"You too Dudepow," Sam insisted.

"Uh well, I," Dudepow glancing nervously at the alternate Fenton girl.

"Oh right the secret identity thing," Sam realized that while it's no consequence for Dani to know, it might be more complicated for Inviso-Belle. "I'm sure she won't expose you once you get back to your own dimension. I mean our Danny has kept Shezow's secret."

"Oh absolutely! Your secret is safe with me." Inviso-Belle promised.

"Alright, He-Yeah!" Dudepow said becoming Gal.

"Whoa, you're a girl!"

Sam quietly opened the doors to her house not wanting to attract too much attention when... "Sammykins is that you?" her mother Pam called out. "I have this new dress I want you to try and, oh you have guests," Pam noticed the girls with her daughter. "And they are not that trouble making Fenton boy," Pam said excitedly. "So are you going to introduce me."

"Mom, these are my new, gulp, friends," Sam nearly regurgitated saying that. "Gal, Dani, and uh Belle." (A/N: Technically her name is also Dani Fenton, but since we already have one of those I will be referring to her as Belle to avoid confusion) "They're new in town and they were wondering if they could spend the night here."

"Oh of course, that fine I'll get everything you need ready!" Pam felt like crying for joy. Sam is finally doing things with other girls without making a huge fuss about it. "Well don't let me keep you kids from enjoying yourselves," Pam said getting out of their way. As the girls went into Sam's room, Pam quickly made her way to the kitchen. After all she didn't want to mess this chance up!

Inside Sam's room the girls began brainstorming on how to deal with Shespook. After comparing notes, they were only able to confirm what they already knew. That Shespook is as strong as Shezow and has all the powers of a ghost. Dani suggested that they go to the place where she and Gai used to train, but they decided against it because it is unlikely that Gai would go back there. Belle offered to overshadow Gal during the fight that way they could combine powers, putting them on equal footing with Shespook. Gal wasn't too eager to have someone literary possessing her, even if it is for the greater good, but agreed to keep that option open as a last resort. They continued to toss ideas back and forth without coming up with any real plan, mainly because they kept arguing on who's the better hero.

"Knock, knock, pardon me girls," Pam said barging in to the room.

"Mom! Privacy please!" Sam scolded.

"Oh don't mind me," Pam said in a chipper voice. "I just brought some snacks for your guests." Pam putting down a tray filled with cheese and crackers, some finger sandwiches, and cocktail weenies.

"MOM! I'm a vegan, I can't eat this stuff!" Sam complained.

"Oh Sammykins why don't you forget all that for one night and just try to enjoy yourself, like your friends here," Pam pointing to the girls who were helping themselves to the snacks.

"They're not my friends," Sam mumbled.

"You say something deary?" Pam asked. Sam shook her head 'no'. "So what do you girls have planed for this evening?"

"Ah nothing much, we have a busy day tomorrow so we're going to turn in early," Gal doing a fake yawn.

"Oh that will never do!" Pam objected grabbing Sam and Gal by the arm. "You girls come with me!" Pam led the girls to the family lounge which she had just converted into a spa! There they received manicures, facial treatments, and massages. Sam wanted to sneak away at the first possible moment, but the other girls were lounging about and enjoying themselves. What's worse is they were starting to open up to each other, telling stories about secret crushes, and the stress of being a superheroes. While her mom misinterpreted what they were talking about, thinking that they were metaphors for normal every girl problems, she did put in her two cents about it that the girls seem to understand and appreciate. Even Dani got in on this by telling them about her travels around the world. To which Pam, mistakenly believing that the girl's family must have to move around a lot for business reasons, conveyed her sympathies, stating about how tough it must be on a little girl to move around so much.

Normally Sam would scoff at all this 'girl' bonding, calling it stupid, but for some reason she couldn't help but want to be a part of it. It's true that she's always wanted friends to confide in, but sadly she only has Danny and Tucker, and they're not exactly the best conversationalist. And all the other girls she knows are shallow air head idiots, maybe except for Jazz but she has other flaws that Sam can't stand. But that's not the main reason she stayed. "Oh you girls have so many fascinating stories," Pam said while she was getting a facial. "You know this reminds me of when Sam was five years old"

"MOM! Don't you dare!" Sam threatened. She stayed because she knew 'that' was coming!

"Ooh, this sounds juicy," Belle perked up wanting to hear more.

"Yes, please tell us Mrs. Manson," Gal pleaded. Pam continued with her story of one of the most embarrassing moments in Sam's life. Naturally everyone started laughing after she finished, with Sam wishing that she would just die right now. "Oh that's nothing, there was this one time I thought my pet brick, Vick, ran away so..." Getting sick of this, Sam got up to leave but was intercepted by Belle.

"Sam what's wrong?" Belle asked.

"Nothing!" Sam said trying to move Belle out of her way.

"You sound upset, and you know what I do when I'm upset," Belle grinned cause Sam to worry. "BUBBLE BATH!" Belle screamed secretly making Sam's body intangible so that her clothes would fall off; and before Sam knew it they were all in a giant bath tub, big enough for all five of them with room to spare.

"Since when did we have this a tub this big?" Sam wondered since she's never noticed it before.

"Isn't it nice, all of us hanging out like this," Gal sighed as she soaked in the water.

"Yeah whatever?" Sam getting irritated again.

"You know Sam it wouldn't hurt if you tried to enjoy yourself," Dani said critically blowing bubbles at Sam's face.

"Yeah Sam, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity. Do you know how many times I wanted to get my Sam to do girly things, and now I have the chance! Even though technically you are not him." Belle teased hugging the Goth. girl. Sam blushed in embarrassment, but at the same time had to admit it felt good to have girlfriends to hang out with. Not that she considered any of these girls friends. Still it was nice, and maybe it wouldn't hurt just to enjoy the moment. On the other side of the tub, Pam sat quietly, overjoyed to see her rebellious daughter finally opening up.

After the bath the girls were ready to turn in. "Mom, are the guest rooms ready?" Sam asked.

"Guest rooms?" Pam jerked. "Sam you and your new friends will be sleeping in your room."

"Say what?" Sam choked as she saw her dad carrying some sleeping bags into her room. She hurried in and counted 4 sleeping bags. "Don't tell me you're sleeping with us too?" Sam asked her mom.

"Of course not, that last one is for you," Pam explained. "After all you, sleeping on the floor with your friends is the most important part of any sleep over."

"Sleep over," Sam whimpered as it finally clicked in her head. The snacks, the spa treatment, the sharing of embarrassing stories, her mom thought that this was a slumber party! As much as Sam wanted to explain, she could tell that there's no way of convincing her mother that this isn't a slumber party. Especially after all the 'fun' they've been having. "Sorry it turned out like this," Sam apologized as they got into their sleeping bags.

"No problem, it was a lot of fun." Belle smiled.

"Yeah, I don't get many chance to have a sleep over," Gal said thinking about how there's always a He-mergency whenever she tried.

"Well if you guys are ever in this dimension again we can have another," Sam offered, not really serious about it though.

"Then next time we can invite Valerie," Dani suggested. Sam cringed at that thought. Valerie Grey being on her top five list of people Sam wouldn't want to be caught dead with!

Speaking of Valerie, at the other side of town, in a rundown apartment; Valerie dug in her closet and brought out a small box. Inside were her collection of Shezow comics. After learning that their enemy is a clone of Shezow, Valerie decided to study up on her powers, and what better way to do that than by reviewing her comics! Valerie sighed at the sight of meager comics she has left. When her father lost his job, thanks to a certain ghost boy and his dog, she had to sell most of her comics for lunch money. The ones she kept were her favorites, stories that she would read during her depression to help give her strength. Valerie remembered reading them as a child, wishing that she could be like Shezow; strong, independent, able to kick butt and look fabulous while doing it. One of the reasons she took up karate. It was those attributes help her survive when she became a ghost hunter and they continue to inspire her to this very day. Of course nowadays she mainly reads them off the shelf instead of buying them. Now that she knows that Shezow is coming here in person, Valerie is determine to make a very good first impression, even if it kills her!
