It was late into the night, and laughing could be heard as a stray ghost flew around Amity Park, causing one guy to step outside his home to see what was going on. Skulker pops up from under the street, looking at the stray ghost through his binoculars, frightening the poor man. 

"Well, it's a minor prize, but any pray is good pray," Skulker muttered to himself as he took off only to fly back and scare the poor man once again. 

Skulker started to chase the ghost all around the city as he fired an electric net, which grabbed the ghost, who struggled to break free as it's dragged towards Skulker. 

"The element of surprise, the hunter's best friend—" Skulker was cut off as an ectoblast hit him, sending him back. "And the hunted's worst enemy!" 

He turns to the GIW chasing him.

"Decoy ghost liberated, what about the unfriendly?" 

"Any prey is good prey, unleash white lightning type winders."

Skulker charged the jet, shooting missiles at it, which proved to be unhelpful as they flew out of the trajectory. They shot their own missiles at Skulker, hitting him at point-blank range, destroying his jet pack. The jet slowed down over Skulker and shot a beam at him that started bringing him closer to the ship. 

"What?! I can't break free! Auto eject in 3...2...1..." 

Skulker shot out of his suit and glared up at the jet as it zoomed away with his suit. 

"Target ghost obtained." 

"True, but his suit is hardwired; if we can access its database, it may help us to our primary objective, the punks known as Danny Phantom and (s/n)."

"Danny, if you're going to drool, can you not do it over my tofu soy melt?" Sam asked Danny as he continued to stare and sigh at (y/n). 

She worked as a cashier at the Nasty Burger when she could.

"Drool on a tofu soy melt isn't drool, it's seasoning," Tucker said as Sam pushed away her food.

 Nasty Burger didn't actually serve the stuff, but since she was willing to pay for it, (y/n) always cooked it for her if she could or had one of her coworker friends do it.

(y/n) looked up to see Tiffany, and they switched places, signifying the end of her shift. 

"Seriously, Danny, you need to just tell her you love her, you've been with (y/n) for months, it's even been a year since you two met, and it's clear how hard you've fallen for her," Tucker comments before taking another bite of his hamburger.

Danny waves at (y/n) with a smile as she heads into the backroom to change her clothes. 

"Yeah, I know, but it's not easy, I don't deserve her, so I feel I can't be with her," Danny sighed.

"But you are with her." 

"Yeah, but do you guys realize what it's like to like somebody you can't be with? Or at least feel like you can't?" Danny asks, causing Sam to spit out her soda, and Tucker instantly caught on. 

"Do ya, Sam? Huh? Do ya?" He asked, raising his eyebrows up and down, and Sam threw her drink in Tucker's face.

"Uh, what did I just miss?" I ask as I slide into the booth, and Tucker starts to answer. 

"Oh, Danny was just telling us how much he wanted to tell you that he—" Tucker was cut off by Danny throwing his drink in Tucker's face.

I raise an eyebrow at Danny when Sam changes the topic.

"All I know is you'll never catch me going googly-eyed over some- Oh my..." 

We look over at the door to see a new kid, wearing white jeans, black shoes, a black shirt, a white vest, pierced ears, wearing sunglasses, and with white hair slicked up and back. 

I had to admit, looks-wise, he was very attractive, but I knew better than to judge a book by its cover. 

"Ah, there you children are! This is Gregor, an exchange student visiting us from...Hungry?" Mr. Lancer was introduced as he and Gregor walked over, Tucker offering him his burger after hearing Lancer botch the name Hungary. 

"No. Thank you, I have already eaten," Gregor said in an accent, causing Sam to giggle as I sighed at the terrible joke. 

"Yes, there's only so many opening lines you can use when you're actually from Hungary." 

"Great, you're getting along, and I don't get paid for overtime, you kids have fun, bye!" Lancer said, leaving us alone with Gregor.

"So d-did you actually eat?" Sam asks, stuttering a little as she tries to change the topic again. 

"Yes, but not here. I doubt there is anything I'd like to eat here. I don't eat anything with a face on it because I'm ultra-recyclo-vegetarian."

Sam stops mid-bite of her sandwich. "Ultra-recyclo-vegetarian?" 

The two shake hands before Gregor pulls her hand close and sniffs it. "Tofu soy melt excellent choice, Miss..." 

"Manson, Sam Manson, it's short for Samantha, but my friends call me Sam, youcancallmeSamtowhyamIstilltalking? I'm such a spazz," Sam says, her words speeding up as she continues to blabber. 

When she finally stopped, I gave her a knowing smirk.

Gregor scoffs lightly as he flicks his wrist down to shrug it off as he sat down next to Tucker, "Psh, I find it charming." 

Before a new conversation could start, our ghost sense goes off, and Danny and I quickly get up. 

"Well, I'd love to stay and chat, but uh, we gotta go, Sam," Danny says as a ghost flies by us.

"Ghosts?" Gregor asked, and Sam shrugged.

"Welcome to Amity Park!" 

Danny and I rushed to the bathroom when the door wouldn't open. 

Danny outstretched his hand to me. "Dime, please."

I hand him a dime, and we head in to go ghost.
