An eighteen year old Sam groaned as she awoke to find herself in the Ghost Zone, the murky area only accessible to a few people, one being her best friend and the rest being several different ghosts. This time it was Vlad, the half ghost that wanted Danny's, her best friend's (also half ghost) mother and wanted Danny and his father out of the way. This put her, Tucker and his family in a spot. Today it was her turn, but for some reason this time was different. Maybe it was the fact that Vlad was not alone, not unusual, but all the ghosts around her were male and had a really BAD gleam in their eyes. What in the hell was up with them?

"Hello, Samantha," Vlad said, his voice greasy like a oil stain. This was not good. She did not like the way he said her name.

"Fuck off," was her response. "What the hell do I owe this rather unwelcome turn of events?" the dark haired girl growled, her long black locks swirling around her while her amethyst eyes flashed darkly at the tall, rather devilish looking ghost. His red eyes glowed suspiciously bright as he bared his fangs in a rather creepy, not that it wasn't always creepy, fashion. "What the hell, fuck face?" Suddenly a crystal ball the size of her head appeared before her. The globe was empty, as she could see through it, but that didn't hold her attention for very long. She turned back to the large ghost. Then it occurred to her why this was an odd occasion. "How are you able to keep me here when humans are ghosts in the Ghost Zone?" At this the group around her began to chuckle. "What the fuck is so funny assholes?" the Goth growled in confusion. These bastards were pissing her off so DAMN much!

"Well, you see, Samantha, normally that would be true, but I, with my companions have made a device to contain and make you into a ghost," Vlad stated, his smirk growing huge like the other ghosts that surrounded him. "I know that you are wondering why, but that is not so hard to figure out is it?" the dark haired male inquired. Sam thought for a second and nothing entered her mind as to why they would want her form to be solid in the Ghost Zone unless it was to make it easier to keep her here and in her human form she was not able to be confined in the Ghost Zone. "Ah, you have some of it figured out, but not all of it, huh, girl? Or shall I say woman?" At this Sam turned her amethyst eyes toward the ghost who now was moving closer to her ghostly form that hovered a few feet above the ground.

"You are not doing that to me!" the dark haired girl screamed in anger. "Danny wouldn't dare to let that happen!" The ghosts around her chuckled. What in the holy hells was so funny?! "He WILL!" she screamed louder. Just then the orb in front of her began to glow with the unnatural energy that swirled around her to reveal Danny talking to Paulina! "Danny?" she inquired, her voice soft with confusion.

"Seems that your boyfriend is a little preoccupied," a ghost to the right of her stated. She turned to see Walker, the Warden of the Ghost Prison. "He won't notice anything until it is too late." Sam turned back to the globe, her eyes watering making the form of her secret love blur into the Ice Queen of Casper High. That's when she noticed that as he was talking his Ghost Breath flew from his mouth. He didn't even notice it! He wasn't talking to Paulina! She was possessed by a ghost! As she watched Vlad drew closer, her chill invading her semi-cold form. She turned just as he ripped her shirt into shreds.

"Danny," Sam whispered as she gazed at the crystal orb, her face streaked with tears of pain as her world went black.

Danny stiffened, his senses telling him something was wrong, but as he looked away from the Hispanic female in front of him he felt the first pull of his Ghost form. It seemed to be pulling him away from Paulina and toward the door. That never happened unless someone close was in need of help. Paulina grabbed onto his arm, temporarily pulling his attention back to her. She smiled up, her teal eyes flashing green with possession.

"Where are you going?" she inquired, her sweet voice edged with hardness that had not been there moments before. He looked at her in confusion. What the hell?

"I need to go. I promised Tucker..." he was cut off as the Hispanic girl smiled up at him, her smile so obviously forced.

"Oh, Danny, that boy can be by himself," she whispered as her nails dug into his arm. "I thought you liked me." He gulped as the air became colder making him stiffen in alarm. Something was definitely not right here. He tugged harder on his arm just as the door to the room they were in burst open to reveal a very distraught Tucker and his sister Jazz.

"Danny!" they both screamed causing Paulina to take a step back, her hands loosening giving Danny just enough time to pull from her and move toward his friends.

"What's wrong?" It was urgent, he could tell by the way Tucker was looking at him, but when Jazz came it was extra urgent. "Hey, where's Sam?" he asked as he noticed his dark haired friend was not with them.

"She's gone!" his techno geek friend gasped out. "Her signal beeped off Earth which only means one thing!"

"She's in the Ghost Zone," Danny whispered as Paulina smiled at them, her smile malicious.

"She sure is," the Hispanic whispered huskily. "Don't worry though she has plenty of company." They all turned to the most popular girl in Casper High in shock.

"What do you know?" he asked, his voice turning cold. "Who are you?" His Ghost Breath escaped his lips as he glared at the girl before him. He knew that it was too good to be true. This girl liked his Ghost form, not his human form.

"Oh, I thought you liked me in this form," the girl whimpered, her voice as fake as her love for him. "I am someone you know very well, but I suspect you could actually care less about that." Danny had just about had enough of this and with a shift of his form two white circles flowed up and down from his waist as he transformed into Danny Phantom, his alter ego.

"Tell me what I want to know!" the half-ling growled at his possessed crush. The girl's eyes before him faded to a bright lime green. Danny rushed forward and shoved his fist into her stomach, the energy from it forced a ghost from her form, the Hispanic cheerleader crumpled to the floor forgotten. All Danny cared about right now was finding his friend. Everyone, but the ghost girl standing up disappeared from his vision. "Ember," he growled, his voice low and cold. The Rocker/Ghost Girl stood up, her eyes flashing green with hate. Her teal hair flowed above her like a flame.

"Did I mention that her company is unwanted and male," the Rocker stated to provoke the half-ling before her. "You would be too late to save her from her f-" She was cut off as Danny, his eyes glowing so bright that they enveloped the whites of his eyes, sliced the air before him, his powers cutting the girl in half. Her screams filled the air as he then slammed his hands together making her disappear into vapor as green goo covered the room and all the occupants in it. Growling the Ghost Boy turned to his friends.

"Come on!" he growled as he became intangible and left through the ceiling of the small classroom. Tucker looked at Jazz and with a shrug followed his friend, but he went through the door. Jazz and Tucker dove into her car and headed for the Fenton house where the Specter Speeder was and the Ghost Portal as well. Danny would beat them there but that didn't mean they couldn't help him when they arrived.

Danny flew faster then he ever had, his mind on his best friend who could possibly dead! He was wracked with guilt. He should have seen that Paulina was under ghost control and gone to help, but no, he had stood there with the bewitched Hispanic while she had been under duress. What was he thinking? With a shake of his head he pushed himself faster, his power enveloping him in the blue light that always engulfed him. It flared around him like a flame bursting to life. He just had to make it in time before... He didn't wish to go there! He burst through the house, his body blasting through the walls til he flew through the Ghost Portal where bits of earth floated around. He paid no attention as he scanned the area for his Goth. That's when he saw it. The group of ghosts standing around a small girl, her cloths gone, her small form in the fetal position and that's when Danny saw red, his mind shutting down as he rushed at the form of his best friend.
