AN: first off more reviews.
MrNovak: yes I do believe Sam is a spoiled brat in canon. I also think that she didn't like him romanticlly until he got his powers. About Strong residents being a safe space that will happen after my brother's keeper, cause Danny's not ready to tell others about him yet so Mrs. Strong only knows that Star is half ghost. she doesn't know Danny is yet.
Invader Jonny: yes Star will be on Skulker's list eventually. I'll even make a special chapter just for that hunt.
disclaimer: I don't own Danny Phantom.

~Fenton Works morning~
Star was looking through the house for a assignment she misplaced last study session with Danny. When she went into the kitchen Mr. Fenton came running from his lab. "Hey M.. Sorry Star no time bathroom! Danny basement!" Star started to say before Jack interrupted telling her where Danny was and that he was in a rush. Star just went downstairs into the lab.
Once down she saw a light blue ghostly dragon on the floor before it changed to a ghost with blonde hair in a braid and red eyes wearing a teal dress.The ghost looked at Danny with a sad look. "I just wanted to go to the costume ball, and my horrid mummy won't let me!" The ghost whined before flying away.
"If that dragon suit's her idea of a costume, I'm on mummy's side." Danny said before seeing Star. "Hey Star. What brings you here? You're normally with Paulina right now."
"I think I left an assignment here." Star replied.
"Oh I think I saw that in my room. Come on." He says walking to the stairs after he grabbed his backpack. Star follows him. As they got to the kitchen Jack showed up.
"Hey Dann-o, did you get a ghost with the Fenton ghost fisher?" He asked Danny.
"Almost, but it got away." Danny told a half truth.
"Damn! Well time to cast again." Jack said heading back to the lab.
"It's still surprising how into ghosts your parents are." Star commented.
"At least you're not here when they say what they'll do when they catch a ghost." He replied as they went to his room.
"Have you thought about my offer?" Star asked.
"I'm not sure I'm ready to let your mom know Star, but I'm thankful she's willing to give me a safe space." Danny told her.
"Okay Danny. Just remember my home's open to you. Okay?" Star offered to Danny again after suggesting telling her mom about him too the week before. They made it to Danny's room and Star saw her paper on his desk. She grabbed it and waved bye to him. "See you Danny." She said leaving as Danny waved back.
~Casper High during lunch~
Star was at the bleachers working on some school work from earlier classes. She looked up and sees Danny walk to Paulina. For some reason she gripped the bleachers bending the edge with her ghostly strength. Star immediately let go realizing what she did and let go. When she looked back she saw Danny's pants turn intangible and fall down revealing his boxers with hearts on them. She blushes and looks away. 'At least he has good taste in undies.' Star thought as she blushed.
She watched as Sam went over to Danny and Paulina. Star automatically knew Sam was calling Paulina shallow, but she secretly agree with Sam. After Star started hanging with Danny and Tucker she began to see how Paulina only cared about herself.
~Nasty Burger June~
Half a month after Danny saved her Star has hung out with him and Tucker on occasion. Right now she was with Paulina having a salad at Nasty Burger. She saw someone carrying a lot of coffee buy their table when they suddenly tripped. All the coffee spilt on their table burning Star's arm. Some got on Paulina's shirt as Star screamed from the burns. "Ahh, you fucking idiotic loser!" Paulina said frustrated at the person ignoring her injured friend. "Do you know how expensive this shirt is?" She asked.
Without even waiting Paulina just left without asking Star if she was alright. "Are you alright Miss?" The person who spilt the coffee asked as Star held her arm.
Star glared in Paulina's direction nodding to the person. "Yeah I'm fine thinks." She said. 'Wow no concern for her friend. Shallow brat.'
~Casper High present day~
Star was brought out of her musings by the one she was thinking about sitting down beside her. "Oh that goth asshole gets under my nerves!" Paulina said.
"Not like she can handle you, Paulina." Star said with hidden sarcasm.
"Of course not! No one can match my beauty." Paulina said flipping her hair.
Star rolled her eyes knowing that she's just stroking the Latinas huge ego. "Of course!" She said. 'You might have outer beauty, but your inner beauty is much to be desired.' Star thought to herself.
"Hmm, maybe I should try stealing that freak from her." Paulina pondered.
For some reason that seemed to urk Star, but at the same time it stung her heart. "Why bother with a loser like him." She said using her faux sense of superiority again.
"Hmm, maybe your right. I shouldn't stoop to that of a geek like that goth." Paulina said.
With Paulina saying that seems to calm Star's heart a bit. She then feels her right hand crushing the metal bleachers, 'Shit I'm letting my powers out, but why am I feeling jealous?' Star thought to herself.
~Amity Park mall side hall next day~
"You're what!?" Star asks Danny.
"I asked Paulina to the dance again and she said yes." Danny said.
Star facepalmed. 'Paulina is still going to stoop so low. Ugh, why did I think that she would leave Danny be.' She thought to herself. "You also said that you gave her a necklace. What did it look like?" Star asked.
Danny thought for a minute before answering, "It had an gold chain with a green gem."
"Hmm that sounds familiar." Star said rubbing her chin.
"Really?" Tucker asked.
"Yeah I've seen one like how Danny described in my house. I think mom sold it to a museum though." She replied to Tuckers question.
"Woah weird." Danny commented.
"Wait back the conversation up a bit." Tucker blurted out turningto Danny. "So you can take over a person's body?"
"Yeah!?" Danny answered quizzically.
Tucker looked to a African American girl named Ashley before Star wacked him upside his head. "No Tucker that is a misuse of his powers. Now if Danny used his powers slightly to defend himself from Dash that's just self defense." She told Tucker.
Star's and Danny's ghost sense went off making them transform. They then fly off in the direction of the screams. At the area that the screams came from and saw a light blue dragon trashing the place. "Say, haven't we met somewhere?" Danny asked dodging it's tail. Star dodged as well. "Let's try this again. Hi, I'm Danny Phantom, and you are?" The dragon tries to bite him as Star shot a purple ecto ray. "Tasty, got it. Sorry dude, I think you got the wrong weenie!"
"Really Danny? You're making jokes?" Star said holding back her laughter.
They dodged another swipe from its claws. "Eh, you love my jokes." Danny replied.
"Point taken." Star commented giggling as she shot more ecto-blasts.
"I WANT TEE!" The dragon shouted.
"Tea? Ooh, good idea. Coffee could make you a mite jittery. Better yet..." Danny started to say as he flew in for a punch.
Star did the same while finishing, "How about some punch!" They hit the dragon making it fly in the air, but as the tail passed them it knocked them into stores. Star was knocked into a store for women's underwear and Danny was knocked into a sports store both of them were dazed. This caused both to miss the dragon lose the necklace around its neck turning back to Paulina.
When Star got out of the daze and saw where she was she commented, "Oh I do need new bras so I'll be back later." She then flew out just as Danny did as he removed some football gear. "I must say you don't look to bad in that gear."
"Really? You think Paulina will think that?" He replied with a hopeful smile.
Star just rolled her eyes before looking for the dragon. "Guess the dragon escaped." She said ignoring his question.
"Guess so." Danny agreed.
"Now I got some shopping to do. I'll talk to my mom about the necklace after I'm done. I'll call you with what I find out." Star said before leaving.
~Strong residents~
"Hey mom!" Star called.
"In the garage sweetie!" Her mom responded. Star went to the garage seeing her mom working on her car in mechanics jumpsuit and her blonde hair in a bun. "What you need hun?"
"You know that necklace you sold to the museum?" Star asked.
"Yes I do! Is there a reason your asking?" Mrs. Strong asked an eyebrow raised.
"Danny found a necklace similar to the one that you sold to the museum, and gave it to Paulina after she said yes to going to the fall formal. I was just wondering if there was a reason you never wore it." Star answered.
"Oh, well there's a family legend to the necklace. It was one of a pair of necklaces called the amulets of aragon. Your great great grandma once said that the amulet has a curse that turns the wearer into a dragon when their mad, but that's just a legend. It probably doesn't work." Mrs. Strong said.
"Wait if the necklace is supposed to be cursed do you think being around it effected what my ghost form looks like?" Star asked.
Her mom took a moment to think. "That's possible all things considered." Her mom said.
"Thanks mom I'm going to tell Danny that he might have given his date a potentially dangerous necklace." Star told her.
"Wait so the one your friend Danny found works!?" Mrs. Strong asked worried.
"Yes, but phantom and I are dealing with it." Star said trying to keep her from worrying about her. "Phantom will always have my back." She says with a large smile on her face. She then left while calling Danny.
Danny answered, [Hey Star what did you find out?]
"Hey Danny yeah I found out that the necklace is called the amulet of aragon. I'm guessing it's the ghostly version since our ghost sense went off with that dragon. Also Paulina was the dragon." Star answered.
[I'm going to the dance with a dragon!?] Danny exclaimed.
"Technically yeah you are." Star said giggling.
[What am I supposed to do? I don't know how I'm going to get it back!?] Danny said worried.
"You'll think of something." Star said.
[I'm guessing this is going to be like our study sessions where you let me try before helping.] Danny remarked while smiling, even though Star couldn't see it.
"You learn fast Fenton." Star said. "Bye Danny."
[See you at the dance.] Danny replied
Star hung up and sighed when her mom entered. "Oh I Know that sigh." Her mom teased. "You have feelings for the Fenton boy."
"What!? No!" Star denied while blushing. 'Is that why I got jealous? Do I really like Danny?' Star asked herself.
~Casper High dance night~
Star walked in to the gym wearing a gorgeous orange dress that had orange lily's detailing the collar of the dress. Her hair was put into a bun. She walked arm in arm with Kwan a fellow A-lister. He's an Asia American with black hair, green eyes, and right now he's wearing a black suit with a green tie. "Did you really have to ditch Valerie for me.?" Star said annoyed that he did that to her only real friend amongst the A-listers.
"Sorry Star but I just wanted to go with you more." Kwan said showing he truly was sorry.
"Doesn't matter at least you introduced her to someone else. Too bad she ended up getting food poisoning earlier today." Star said.
"Yeah. Hey isn't that Fentons dad?" Kwan asked.
"Yeah I heard he was a chaperone tonight." She answered Kwan. 'I only know that cause Danny told me.' Star thought.
The dance was going well for awhile until Star's ghost sense went off and there was a loud crash. Star immediately hid under the table near her and transformed leaving a confused Kwan on where she went, as he went to the restroom. Outside she sees Danny flying to her forcing her to catch him. "What made Paulina mad now?" Star asked.
"That's not Paulina anymore. That's Sam." Danny answered.
"How did Sam get it?" Star questioned.
"I told Paulina that the necklace was Sam's so I guess she thought it was too gothic so she gave it to Sam." Danny replied.
"Knowing Paulina, she said something to piss her off." Star guessed.
"Most likely." was the only answer before they flew to the dragon Sam.
Star flew around Sam's head. "Hey dragon breath look at me." She said getting her attention. "Wow dragon so doesn't suit you unlike me. I'm gorgeous even with dragon traits!" Star taunted with faux shallowness. This did the trick as Sam shot fire at her. "Woah!" Star dodged.
Meanwhile Danny snuck behind Sam and tried to get the necklace off. When she felt the tug she started to thrash about trying to get Danny off. He was holding on for dear life like he was on a raging bull until Star plowed into Sam with her shoulder making her fly back as the necklace came off. Star then caught Sam and flew her to Tucker who was waiting. "So why was Sam even here? I thought this wasn't her scene." Star commented.
"I didn't want her to be left out so I asked her." Tucker said. "Apparently she actually wanted to come."
"Huh who knew?" Star responded.
Just then Star's and Danny's ghost sense went off and they saw the princess looking ghost from a few days ago. She just grabbed the necklace, apologized for leaving it, and left. The four then return to a now empty gymnasium, Tucker carrying a now dazed Sam and Danny and Star in human form, looking disappointed. Danny saw Star's disappointment and played a slow song on his phone. "Care to dance Miss. Strong?" He asked politely.
This put a smile on her face. "Why yes Mr. Fenton." She replied. They both started dancing to the slow song close together and Star felt her heart skip with the beat as they dance.
~Strong residents~
Star is in her room after the dance and she has fully realized her feelings for Danny. "I really do like Fenton!" She said to her self shocked.
AN: okay before people ask yes I made star have a connection to princess Dora. the reason is so I could easily explain Star's dragon features without going on a rant that no one would probably understand. hope you all enjoyed. Next chapter is going to be one that Star comes to terms with her feelings with a little help from a certain ghost girl.
