Paulina was scared.
She never felt such terror like this.
And the best part was that Danny was away and couldn't even talk her down.
Shaking sitting in her Hideout, thinking about what happened these days.
When she had gone to the cinema with Star, they had seen the cardboard cutout for the newest Sayonara Pussycat movie.
Star had out loud wished to be as cute as the anime cat and...poof she turned into a chibi-version of herself.
Paulina just stared on with an open mouth at how all adored and celebrated her transformed friend.
She didn't know what to do.
Then a flash of white and black tackled Chibi-Star and they were gone.
Finally, Paulina could move again.
Star was a cruel bitch, but she was still her best friend.
So Paulina searched for her and both friends found each other in a storage room of the cinema.
Star didn't remember anything, only her head hurt.
This already was creepy and scary, however, what happened the next day to herself, set Paulina off.
Till now she couldn't explain it.
One moment she was walking outside school, enjoying her lunchtime, the next...it was like she had fallen asleep.
She only remembered how a voice that wasn't hers yelled out loud that she wasn't friends with Danny anymore before the narcotic feeling left her and she had control over her body again.
Ignoring all the confused stares of her classmates, she hightailed out of the situation.
What was going on in Amity Park?
The Latina had tried talking to Danny, but to her luck, he caught a bad cold and now was off to Wisconsin with his family to participate in the college reunion of his parents.
What should she do?
Could she do something?
That's when a crazy idea formed in her head.
Fast she returned home and sat before her computer.
She took a deep breath, tipping supernatural activities into the search machine.
Anything that had happened couldn't be explained normally...so it had to be the opposite.
For hours, she read, and read, and read till she found something that fit.
Ghosts.
What experts wrote on their powers, came really close to what she had experienced.
Signing she looked at the website.
When Danny returned she needed to talk to him.

Danny was happy and surprised at how Paulina wanted to meet up with him in a secret place.
Of course, his brain got wild ideas, which he tried to calm down.
Still...if they did kiss this whole disaster of a weekend would turn out good.
He entered the abandoned warehouse where Paulina wanted to meet him and got up on the rooftop.
There he saw her in clothes he never guessed she owned.
A big black hoody, jogging pants and sneakers.
She was absolutely cute.
"Hey Paulina.", he greeted her warmly. "How are you? You sounded frantic on the phone."
His crush stepped to him and formally threw herself into his arms.
Danny blushed up a storm but held her tight as she started to unload all that had troubled her the past weeks.
Oh dear god, he felt so guilty.
Paulina had noted all the ghost activities and that he and Tucker, when he had ghost powers for a while, overshadow her didn't help his crush at all to stay calm.
"I-I researched.", she stuttered, while Danny caressed her long black hair. "It points all out to Ghosts...Danny, I am crazy?"
She looked into his eyes, tears falling down.
No...it broke his heart.
In a way, it was his fault that she was like this.
Sam and Tucker, mostly Sam, would probably have his head for it, however, Paulina deserved to know that he wouldn't let anything happen to her.
"No you are not crazy.", he assured her and made them both sit down on the ground. "I have to tell you something Paulina, but you have to swerve to not tell anyone."
Sniffling Paulina nodded.
So he started from the beginning.
How his parents made an inactive Ghost Portal, how he walked into it like a dumbass and it turned on and transformed him into a Half-Ghost.
How since then he fought ghosts left and right and all that she had seen and experienced had to do with his superhero side job.
"I never wanted to hurt anybody, especially you, some kind of hero I am.", he ended.
Fearful of her reaction he looked up and found a pensive Paulina.
She didn't scream, she didn't call him a freak, she calmly asked more questions to understand.
It seemed like hours they sat on this rooftop till Paulina was satisfied.
"I won't say I am happy about that you and your friend overshadow me.", she made clear. "But Danny you are a hero and use your powers for good. Thank you for trusting me with your secret I won't tell a soul."
"I'm glad I could calm you down Paulina, I was worried."
Shy he took her hand and caressed it.
This made Paulina blush cutely before she leaned in and gave him a cheek kiss, which made now him blush.
Now they were both blushing messes, smiling like lovey-dovey idiots at each other.
They both felt how their relationship turned deeper and more intimate.
And maybe one day they would have the courage to tell the other what they really felt.
But for the moment Danny helped her up and asked grinning: "Would you like to go on a flight?"
"I would love to.", agreed Paulina smiling.
In wonder, she saw how Danny transformed into his ghost half.
He was still the most handsome boy she knew.
Danny picked her up bridal-style, which made Paulina gasp and wrap her arms around his neck and shoot with her into the sky.
At first, Paulina had her eyes closed before Danny encouraged her to open them.
Since she trusted him with her life she did.
"Oh my gosh!", she gasped and looked at the faraway ground and then up to the starry sky above them. "It's absolutely beautiful!"
"This is my favourite part of my powers.", confessed Danny. "I love flying!"
Paulina gripped his neck harder and let out a pretty laugh as he flowed up higher.
"I can totally agree with that!"
It seemed they flew over Amity Park for hours before Danny brought her safely home.
She gave him a kiss on the cheek, which made him blush of course and both promised to see each other tomorrow in school.
With a lighter and happier heart, Paulina falls asleep.
