Summary: Life was going well since the destabilizing incident until confusing thoughts started circling in her mind.
Pairing: Valerie x Dani(Elle)
Prompt: Dani

Day Fourteen

Things were a bit scary back then. She thought for certain that she was a goner when Vlad had her captive and her body was starting to dissolve into a puddle of goo for Vlad to examine so that he could create his perfect clone. When Danny used the Ecto-Dejector on her, she had little faith that it would work as her body completely destabilized.

The fact that it did work left her ecstatic. She was completely over the moon with happiness that she didn't melt down into nothingness. She could never thank Danny enough for saving her from that fate. They visited each other after that, and she liked getting to hang out with him.

Elle sat on the rooftop of one building in Elmerton, green eyes glancing around for any sign of trouble in the town. Danny had Amity Park well protected, and she wanted some space away from her source material. It was great to spend time with Danny, but she needed to be her own person sometimes. Too much of her mirrored Danny.

She frowned as she lowered her gaze, lazily kicking her legs. Valerie lived in Elmerton too, and after the whole thing with Vlad, they became fast friends and fought any ghosts that attacked their town. Amity Park wasn't the only place that suffered from ghostly problems, though it certainly had a large number of attacks. She had lots of fun with Valerie. They hung out even when not fighting ghosts. Valerie taught her stuff, like fashion and makeup and insisted that they study together because, as Valerie said, even a clone deserved an education. She was getting pretty good at karate too, and sparring with her was actually pretty fun. It was a good life. Much better than how she was living before she really started to destabilized.

But with being so much like Danny, she had to wonder if her feelings were real or simply a result of Danny's feelings. She realized it some time ago when Valerie was helping her with her makeup, and their faces were rather close together. She gulped nervously as the sudden desire to close the distance and kiss the other woman came over her. Maybe it was just a onetime thing, a fluke of the moment. But the feeling lingered. Every glance they shared. Every smile that crossed between them. Every brushing touch only served to make her realize all the more her feelings toward the other woman.

"There you are, Elle."

She almost gave a shout of surprise when Valerie appeared before her, gliding toward her on her speed board. Valerie touched down on the rooftop, her suit disappearing in an instant. Then she joined Elle at the ledge.

"You had me worried," Valerie admitted with a frown. "I thought you ran off when I couldn't find you."

"Sorry," Elle mumbled, lowering her gaze again. "I had to do some thinking." And being around you was just making me too confused.

"About what? Maybe I can help."

Elle shook her head. "It's nothing important." Maybe she would figure out her feelings at some point, but she couldn't think of how to tell whether her feelings were her own or Danny's.

"Elle," Valerie said with a sigh as she reached out a hand and turned the half ghost's head around to face her. "Whatever it is, you can talk to me about it."

She stared into Valerie's green eyes, and it was hard to ignore that rush of emotions inside her. Her cheeks felt unusually warm, and she prayed the green blush wouldn't be noticed by the other woman. "It's not-" Elle swallowed thickly as she caught that look that said Valerie wouldn't be letting her just brush it off as nothing. She sighed, her shoulders slumping. "I think I," she bit her lip, "like you. But it could just be because of," she hesitated, "Danny."

"Elle," Valerie brought up her other hand, cupping the half ghost's face, "you may be his clone, but that doesn't mean your feelings aren't your own. And," she smirked as she touched her forehead to Elle's, "I think I like you too."

Shock hit her as a blush exploded more brightly over her face. Elle couldn't think of a response to that confession. She didn't have the time to even give one before Valerie sealed their mouths together. Was this really happening? The question flashed quickly through her mind before she let all thought go. Elle responded to the kiss, happily savoring the feel of Valerie's lips against her own.
