"Hey! Valerie! No… that sounds to fake. What about, Oh Valerie nice to see you!" Danny sat in his wheelchair, trying to practice what he wanted to say when Valerie came. So far it wasn't going so well.
"Ugh!" The boy cried. "I'm not gonna be able to talk to Valerie, I know it."
"Well you're kinda gonna have to." Danny recognized Dani's voice from behind.
"What?" He asked, confused as he tried to turn his chair around. "Here let me help with that." His little sister said, flying over to him. She carefully turned the chair towards the to face…
"Valerie." Danny took a sharp inhale as the girl he had been thinking about non stop for the past few days stood before him. It almost felt like a dream, but at the same time it was a nightmare.
"Hey, Danny." Valerie awkwardly waved as she looked him up and down. Her stiff expression quickly softened at the sight of all his injuries. "I'm sorry about what happened."
Danny lightly shook his head as if getting out of a trance and nodded. "Yeah… me too."
Valerie shyly ducked her head, not knowing how to respond. Danny clearly sensed that Valerie was feeling just as nervous as he was. "You can sit there." he made a gesture towards the leather black swivel chair by the stairs.
Valerie gave a quick nod before walking over to the chair and wheeling it towards Danny. She placed it about 2 feet away from his wheelchair and slowly sat down. "So… what did you wanna talk about?" She bit her lip as she looked over to Dani who was still behind Danny.
The ghost girl giggled and mouthed 'Awkward' before vanishing. "Well…" Danny cleared his throat and Valerie snapped her attention back to him. "I wanted to apologize. Explain myself to you."
The girl in front of him looked down. "Okay…"
Danny sighed. "I didn't want this to be awkward. I know this is weird for you, it is for me too. Just hear me out, alright?" The boy tried to act calm, as his heart beat faster and faster each second.
Valerie looked back up and nodded. "I'm sorry, it's just… I don't know. This is weird." She let out a small chuckle. Danny lightly smiled as he tried to think of what to say.
"I know you never liked Phantom and I know it was wrong to lie to you but I couldn't just stop..." He began. "
"Hold on, Danny." Valerie interrupted. "I understand all that, it's just… why did you try to kill me?" Danny slightly jumped at her question, not remembering what she was talking about. Suddenly it came to mind and he sighed. "I wasn't. You remember I already knew who you were right? I knew a ghost took over your suit and i was trying to destroy it not you." He explained. Valerie nodded. "I...forgot about that. So you never wanted to fight me?"
Danny was quick to shake his head. "No, of course not! Maybe at first… but then I got to know you…" Valerie softly smiled. "How about we forget the whole rivalry we had. Be friends again."
"I really would like that."
