Steve brought Misty to Corset, explaining who she was and why she was here. Corest welcomed her and asked her to enjoy her time here. When they left, Misty shivered.

"I don't like him." She said.

"You're not alone in that," Steve said, nodding.

Misty then wrapped herself around him, trying to kiss him again.

"MISTY!" Steve said, moving his head away.

"Come on, Steve. Kiss your future wife." She said, smiling.

"WE'RE NOT LOVERS!" He shouted.

Scanty and Kneesocks were close by and Scanty couldn't stop a growl.

"Sister? Are you gaining a crush on our bodyguard?" Kneesocks asked, surprised to see how jealous Scanty looked.

"WHAT!? Of course not!" Scanty said, turning away to hide her blush.

"I won't lie. After getting to know him, he is cute. He's also brave, smart, and someone who understands order. He might be pining for Stocking, but he clearly doesn't know he has more than he thought." Kneesocks.

"Sister?" Scanty asked, surprised.

"Let's give him more time. And hope that his cousin dials back a bit." She said, noticing that Misty was still trying to kiss him.

The next day,

Steve awoke and grabbed his clothes. His father was able to get her mother to back off on his choices and both of them welcomed Misty to stay with them. Steve entered the bathroom and started to run the shower. He quickly stops when he remembers something Misty would do when they were kids. He quickly locks the door and hops in the shower.

He started to wash his hair as he felt a rag on his back. Steve froze and looked behind him.

"MISTY! HOW DID YOU GET IN HERE?!" Steve shouted, seeing his naked cousin.

She had hour shape body and her breasts were bigger than most girls, almost reaching a size D.

"I was already in before you locked the door. Did you forget about the hidden spot near the shower?" Misty giggles.

Steve groans. He did forget about that spot they would use to hide away from their parents. He was shocked to see her press her body up against his, still smirking.

"You do know once we marry, we have to do this a lot, right?" She said, rubbing her body on his.

Steve starts to get really ticked off. As much as he wants to turn in his ghost form, Misty is family. She was the only one in the family that understood him. Even if he disliked how she kept reminding him of their promise. He was 13! He didn't know Misty was serious!

"And don't worry, Steve. I can feel that rod of yours, but it would happen until we're 18." Misty spoke up.

'Damn it!' Steve thought since his hormones acted up without thinking.

"STEVE! GET OUT!" His mother yelled.

Steve looked at the clock and saw only 3 minutes had passed.

"I don't why Aunty treats you this way." Misty sighs, shaking her head.

"I'm still trying to figure that out myself," Steve said, reaching for a towel.

"Can you come and live with me?" Misty asked, worried.

Steve looks at his cousin, knowing that was not one of her tricks to get married. Steve has thought of taking that offer up many times. However, since he was trying to win over a girl he liked and even enjoying the company of Scanty and Kneesocks, that offer was starting to be less and less ideal.

"I'm sorry, Misty. But I now have a reason to stay here." He said, wrapping a towel around himself.

Misty looked upset before she smiled.

"Well, I can offer you a new place. Maybe to get away from Aunty?" She asked, not putting a towel on.

"Maybe," Steve said, thinking about it.

"Until then, get dressed and wait for five minutes," Steve said, grabbing his clothes.

"Why? We showered before." Misty asked, confused.

"Mist, we're 16, going to be 17 soon. Do you want Mom and Dad questioning about things we could have done before we reached legal age?" Steve said, using his trump card.

Misty sighs. She knew that both her Ma and Pa, as well as her Aunt and Uncle, had no idea about their promise to marry for real. At least, until they reach 18.

"Fine." She said, getting dressed.

Steve sighs, knowing that the trump card will no longer work once they turn 18. If he had to pick which girl he would marry if Stocking didn't work out, he either pick Scanty or some other girl.

'Wait, why did I pick Scanty? We're just friends. Besides, I'm going to win over Stocking soon.' He thought before looking at Misty.

'Maybe I should keep that promise of none of them work out. I mean, she deserves someone in her life. Don't know why she picked me.' He added.

After eating breakfast, Steve heads to his job with Misty following him. She was wrapped around his arm, making him groan. He had long ago learned that Misty wasn't easily swary out of things. She did try to date other boys, but all of them were jerks or tried to have sex with her before she was ready. Steve never liked those people. It was one of the few times he let Misty get away with hugging and kissing him. It was more out of the need for someone close to her than to get him to keep his promise.

"Steven? Do you still miss Henry?" She asked, snapping him from his thoughts.

"Everyday," Steve said, sadly.

"Me too. He was the only one who could cheer up everyone by just being himself." Misty said, remembering her young cousin.

"Yeah. Remember our last family reunion? Our moms got into a fight and Henry chose to bring out a salad!" Steve laughs.

"Or about the time he helped our dads by bringing out the toolbox after they fought over a new car?" Misty added.

"Don't forget about the time he tried to stand up for you when one of your exes tried to get back with you," Steve said, rolling his eyes.

"Yeah. Even went show far as to try and hit him. I never saw you so mad in my life." Misty said, sighing.

The two went quiet, remembering Henry and the things he did.

"Steve, what is it about Stocking that you liked?" Misty asked, surprising him.

"Well, when I first saw her, I was surprised at how pretty she was. It didn't matter if she was a goth, or not with the government, in my mom's cause. My heart just fluttered at the sight of her and I tried to win her over many times." Steve said.

Misty thought about that, recalling what she heard about Steve trying to win her over...and getting refused each time. Steve had been after her for months and she was starting to worry that he was obsessed over her. She's seen enough one-time boyfriends fall into that.

"Steve..." She started before a car zoomed past them.

"What was that?" She asked.

"That was Panty and Stocking. There must be another ghost causing trouble." Steve said, having grown used to the attacks.

"Was it the ghost that was with them?" Misty asked.

"That was Danny Phantom, Misty," Steve told her.

"Danny PHANTOM?! The ghost boy?!" Misty asked, shocked since she was a huge fan of his.

"Yeah. His own hometown kicked him out for being a ghost and he has been welcomed here." Steve said since he did feel sorry for Danny about that.

"Just because he was a ghost?! That's stupid!" Misty said, shaking her head.

"From what I heard, the town thought all ghosts were evil. Even the good ones." Steve said, sighing.

The cousins sigh. Both of them felt bad for Danny. He did everything he could to protect his town and they threw him out like he was trash. Since living here, he was treated much better than Amity Park did.

"Well, as much as I want to see him in action, I think we better go before we get caught up in the attack," Misty said.

Steve nods, knowing she is smart about the things she wants. With that, the cousins moved on, not knowing that a few boys were watching them. A few boys that followed Misty from her home city. Boys that never gave up on taking her.

This chapter was mostly about Steve and Misty, though I did make sure to add Scanty and Kneesocks. Both girls are starting to fall for Steve, but since this is before Panty and Stocking with Danny Phantom, none of them are going to admit their feelings yet. While Misty is trying to get Steve to be with her, she does keep herself limited about a few things. As you read in the shower scene, Misty at least wants to wait until they're 18 before even thinking about having sex. Steve is also thinking about keeping his promise if his relationship with Stocking or the Deamon Sisters doesn't work out.

But all that will be covered in the main story. I have two more chapters planned for this, and you guess what going to happen in the next chapter.
