Today was the day Val moved out of the freshmen dorms and into her own with Star. The dark-haired girl couldn't be more excited to have her best friend as her roommate, and the benefits of a two-dorm apartment didn't hurt either. Sharing a freshmen dorm with a girl named Dawn wasn't bad, just a bit cramped and having to share a bathroom with 60 other girls was a nightmare. Valerie grimaced at the flashback of finals week for the bathroom.

Star was busy setting up her room while Kwan helped her moved in. For her, she asked Danny and Tucker for help as she knew both boys had already finished, and both were happy to help. But she was not prepared for Sam to tag along as well, much to her dismay. She and the goth still haven't gotten along, and Valerie has resisted the urge to slap the girl for her passive aggressive comments. Danny had talk to Sam about those comments but from time to time she still made. Val sighed, just thinking about her makes her angry.

'Don't let her get to you. You are in a new apartment with Star and focusing on your major. Breathe and let go.' Val thought to herself. Letting out a deep breath, she went back to moving in the rest of her stuff while the boys moved the big stuff. Sam stood off to the side, occasionally making comments about the 'unnecessary makeup' both her and Star have. Luckily Star was in her room with Kwan as she didn't hear the comment.

Danny and Tucker were lugging her couch towards the living room as she went to pick up a box for the kitchen. There Sam was, by the door judging the décor of the two best friends. Valerie caught her muttering under her breathe about the comment and decided to confront her.

"Hey princess, you wanna help us or get the hell out. Because I sure as hell did not invite you to just stand there!" Valerie fumed. She did not want Sam anywhere near her or her dorm.

"Well it's true. Some of those products were tested on animals! Defensive creatures being used for beauty standards from girls like you!" Sam shouted back.

"Are you serious Manson? Girls like me?" Valerie pointed to her wrist. "Girls my complexion are barley represented at all! You have some fucking nerve to judge me in my dorm when you were never invited!" She countered back at the goth. Before Sam replied, Danny, Tucker, Kwan and Star appeared from each respected room to see what the commotion was.

Tucker saw the scene in front of him and sighed. 'I knew this was a bad idea to invite her.' The former geek thought. A grimace appeared on his face, along with Danny and Kwan as they knew what was about to happen. Star was equally fuming as the goth invited herself into their home and diss everything about it. The blond stood beside Valerie, putting a hand over Val's balled up fist.

"Manson, it is way time you leave and never come back. We have tried to be civil with you, but you will not come in our dorm and be a asshole towards both of us." She turns to Danny and Tucker "I know she's your friend for some reason, but please don't bring her here anymore." With one last angry glare, she grabs Kwan and goes back to unpacking her room before slamming the door.

Valerie gave a pointed look to the goth and pointed at the door. Sam looked shocked and looked towards her friends to see if they would do anything about it.

"Danny, Tucker are you guys going to do anything?" She exclaimed towards them. Both boys decided the ceiling looked very nice (a soft blue color to be exact).

"My house, my rules. Get the hell out before I throw you out!" Val ordered the girl. With one last glare, Sam left the apartment, much to the relief of Valerie. She looked over at the boys, both with sheepish and embarrassed expressions on their face.

"Val, we are sorry about that. Ever since we became friends, she's just been a bit hostile towards you no matter what we say." Danny said apologetically, scratching his hand on the back of his neck. Tucker chimed in with the same sentiments, apologizing for Sam's behavior and promising to speak with her about it. She told them it's fine, but until the goth apologizes towards her and Star, she doesn't want to be around her.

Afterwards, the young adults spent all day moving, unpacking and unloading each girls stuff from the moving truck. They order sandwiches and drinks for lunch (Star paid, as they done hard work) and finished unpacking and removing trash until it was dark. Tired and a bit sweaty, the five young adults decided to call it a night as Kwan and Tucker had an early class.

Kwan offered Tucker and Danny both a ride, Danny declining, and Tucker accepted as they said goodbye and went to their separated dorms. Star went to shower in the bathroom, leaving alone Valerie and Danny.

Both sat on the blue couch in Valerie's room, laughing at old adventures and tales of the ghost each faced. Valerie changed earlier into pajamas; a simple blue tank top and black shorts with her hair wrapped up. Danny knew all about her routine as Tucker's younger sisters and mother appeared in a similar fashion when he would spend the night. Having his sisters trying to braid his hair had been a highlight of his time at Tucker's house. Of course, the techno loving male couldn't let him live down, especially without taking a picture of said event. He smiled at the memory.

"What's so funny space cadet?" She asked the dark-haired boy, raising an eyebrow at his random laughter.

"Ah, it's nothing just a inside joke between and Tuck." He joke, scooting a little closer to her. She nudged his side playfully and soon it's an all-out elbow war. The war went on until Star (in a face mask and bunny robe and slippers) yelled at them to 'Shut up and go to bed!' after dramatically slamming the door. Both friends laughed at the blonde's antics but realized it was close to 10. Both had classes later in the day but after all the moving they have done today; sleep was calling their name.

"Oh, I guess we spent so much talking hanging out that we lost track of time." Valerie sheepishly said, looking over towards the window. Outside was dark scattered with streetlights for students on the way back from classes.

"If you want, you can crash here?" She told Danny, who became red at the question. Of course, these two have history but neither had confessed their feelings towards each other. Both wanted to heal, physically and mentally before pursuing any relationship at all. In a weird way, they had a on-off relationship, more on as Valerie and Danny opened up to each other. The most they've ever gotten was to second base but that's all that happened. Although prom was a different story…..

"Uh, Danny you didn't answer my question? And why do you have that goody look on you face?" the former ghost hunter questioned her friend. Danny turned redder and managed to inform Val that he'll crash on her couch. She gave him a questioning look before giving him a spare set of clothes she manage to 'borrow' over the years. A NASA tank top and space sweats were thrusted into the ghost boys hands as she pushed him towards the bathroom.

Valerie looked around her room and sighed deeply. Although the feelings were there, it just wasn't the time. Especially in the early stages of their second semester, college life is still hard to adjust to. Although it's rare to see a ghost in the college area doesn't mean that they might not come around.

Valerie was lost in thought on over the ghost she has encountered throughout the years. She didn't hear Danny finishing up in the bathroom and opening the door to her room. He sees her staring at the window, deep in thought. He frowns, not liking to his friend in such a state. Danny walks over and gently guides Val to her bed, trying to signal her to go to bed. She snaps out of her thought; now aware she is sitting upwards on her bed.

"Maybe it's time for bed?" Danny gave her a soft look. He knows if she continues with her thought, she'll stay up brooding. Val nodded and they both began to get comfortable in their respective sleeping spots. Val turned off her lamp, only the moon illuminating through her curtains. Danny is already fast asleep, buried in covers. Val couldn't help but smile as slumber took over her eyes.

'Someday we can, but not today.'
