The Ghost and the Alien

Starfire had sent her choice the moment she was able to. The other Titans were less enthusiastic, but she did not have issue. After all, he was a wonderful date.

So, the day after, when she got the e-mail, she expressed her joy.

"GLORIOUS!"

It was so loud that it alerted the other Titans. All of them looked out their doors, though none were as horrified looking as Robin was.

"Starfire?!"

She flew out, happily hugging her beloved Silkie in her arms.

"My date-blind has chosen me for the second date!" Starfire said happily.

As the other Titans tried to maintain an accepting look, Robin fainted, though nobody noticed.

Danny waited where he sent his message to Starfire, the roof of the tallest building in Amity Park.

He took a breath, flowers in his hand.

"Okay Fenton… you're asking a cool alien girl on a second date…" He said to himself. "Don't blow it!"

He remained still when he heard the sound of footsteps behind him.

"Danny?"

He turned around and smiled.

There she was, in the same purple outfit with the same big green eyes and crimson red hair.

That smile made him feel confident about this.

They are now face to face.

"I'm… I'm really glad you agreed to this." He said with a shy voice that she found cute.

"I am the glad that you asked for me to come here." Starfire said with a smile.

Danny took a deep breath.

"Look, I… I have to be honest with you, I know that we haven't known each other very long… but I really like you… a lot."

This caused Starfire to smile warmly. "I like you too, Danny."

"Look… I know that we haven't known each other very long, but… I think we have a connection… I can't lie, I have been out a lot of girls since I joined the service, and while I did grow to care about many of them, you're the one who I couldn't stop thinking about the most." Starfire blushed at that. "I got some other girls who wanted me as their next date, but you're one who I want to be with here today."

Starfire felt very warm and light to hear this.

"Likewise." She said earnestly.

She knew wanted to see him more than any other. Especially since only a handful of boys wanted to go out with her again, mostly the ones she's not into.

Danny took a deep breath.

"I think you're amazing, you're so strong, so smart and beautiful… I think we truly have something between us, something special, so… what… what I am trying to say is…" Starfire held her breath. "Starfire of the Teen Titans, will you please go out with me?" Danny said in a very shy voice.

Starfire then put her hands on Danny's and beamed with joy.

"I am the very honored you would ask me. I would like nothing more than to do so!"

Danny smiled. Not just because of that adorable way she talks, but that she said yes.

"Excellent!" Danny went. "Wow!"

"So, what are we to do on the second date?" Starfire asked.

"Well… um… maybe we can just have a flight together before we get something?" He asked sheepishly.

Starfire nodded.

"That sounds wonderful!"

In minutes, the two were now flying together in the clouds above Amity Park.

All the while, the two spoke with each other.

"Really? You live in a building shaped like a capital T? How does the foundation on that work, exactly?" Danny questioned.

"Robin says a friend from a company I am not to name assisted us." Starfire answered.

"I see… it beats living under my parents' roof." Danny muttered.

Starfire chuckled at his humor.

''I find that to be most humorous..." Starfire giggled.

Danny smiled.

She has such a cute laugh... He thought fondly.

"How many boys wanted you for a second date?" Danny asked.

"Most of them…" Starfire said. "You were the only one I wished to see again."

''What do you mean by most?" Danny questioned and Starfire sighed.

"Well, most of the boys I went out with were… nice, in a way. However, there had been 5 of them whom I do not wish to encounter again and the feeling seems to be mutual..." Starfire said as she looked mad about something.

Danny figured whoever these five guys are must have been big jerks to make someone as bubbly as Starfire to get like this.

"Wait? Only five? So, 25 guys picked you?" Danny questioned.

Starfire nodded. "Indeed, however, you were the only one I wished to see again."

"Wow... you picked me out of 25 guys... I guess I should feel flattered..." He said and Starfire smiled.

"I must say, Danny… you are a nice boy who I enjoy talking with." Starfire said.

Danny smiled when she said that and stopped flying just to speak to her.

"Really?" He asks.

"Really." Starfire said. "And your luck with females?"

"Oh… only two girls didn't want me. To be fair, they were… awful people who hurt kids."

Starfire had a disgusted look on her face.

"That is awful…"

"Yeah. So, you're one of 27 girls I had to decide so, with advice from my dad… I decided the first girl who entered my mind when I woke up that morning is the girl I wanted to see again." She smiled at this. "You were just… that memorable. I guess they saved the best for last?"

Starfire giggled, putting a hand on her mouth.

"Indeed." She then noticed something he said. "Wait… 27? Forgive me, but mathematically, with those 2 girls, is there not one girl left?"

Danny stiffened a bit when she said that, something she noticed.

"Uh…" He went with a slightly worried look.

"Danny?" She asked.

"Let's just say she's… not someone I'd consider."

Starfire blinked in confusion. Still, she decided not to press on when she saw how uncomfortable he was.

"I understand…" She said as she put a hand on his shoulder.

After the two shared a smile, it was now they noticed how close they were. Starfire pulled her arms back and looked a bit flustered at their physical interaction. Smiling, Danny hovered closer until he was inches from her face.

Realizing this, they both blushed as Starfire returned the smile.

As they inched closer, Danny's mouth opened automatically as his Ghost Sense went off.

"Oh no…" He muttered.

"What is it?" She asks him.

Danny looked around, and saw something headed towards them.

"Incoming!" He shouted as he raised a bubble shield to protect them.

The blast did not hit them, though Starfire did cover her eyes to avoid the flash. Once Danny lowered the shield, she looked to where it came from.

"What was that?"

Her answer came when an evil laugh was heard from the figure approaching them.

"What do you want, Skulker?!" Danny demanded.

Starfire noticed Danny recognized this figure, but it was not a friendly way.

"Oh, the usual… your pelt on my wall." Skulker said. "I saw you fly this far out in your ghost form and then I thought of just targeting you. Then, as I saw this female, I realized she's an alien." He looked to Starfire. "I wouldn't mind adding her pet to my wall, to keep you company."

Starfire's eyes glowed, as did her fist.

"I advise you to leave us alone…"

Skulker only scoffed.

"Make me, girl…"

Before he could make his move, Skulker was tackled by Starfire, much to Danny's surprise.

"WHOA!" He went as he saw her onslaught.

Skulker tried to defend himself by raising his arm, but Starfire's superior strength broke a hole in it.

"A machine?!" She questioned.

"He's a tiny guy inside the head! The rest is basically a mecha!" Danny shouted at her.

"Then… I shall not hold back!"

She threw another punch, sending the ghostly hunter a few feet away.

"Neither will I!" Skulker shouted as his shoulder cannon came out. "FIRE!"

He launched rockets.

"Starfire!" Danny called out as he was ready to step in. "I better-"

To his surprise, and Skulker's as well, Starfire flew away from the rockets with ease, gracefully doing a somersault and firing her starbolts at them, destroying them.

That's when she directed her attention to Skulker and charged after him. She fired at him.

"HAAAAAHHHH!" Starfire yelled at she used her star bolts and made several NOTICEABLE dents to Skulker's armor.

All the while, Skulker was unable to make a move as the barrage was too much for him.

Danny just stood by and admired her strength.

'What a woman..." He whistled.

Once he blasts were finished, Skulker was left a damaged mess. Sparks were sticking out of his tears and holes, his hand was hanging off his arm now due to being detached, and one of his feet appeared to have been blown to smithereens.

"Well… all things considered… I'm underprepared for this girl…" Skulker said to save face. He rose his less damaged fist. "Rest assured, girl, I'll have both your pelts for this!"

Starfire crossed her arms, unafraid of him.

"Leave us now, villain!"

Skulker turned around and was about to fly away, but Starfire flew in and kicked him in the rear like a Soccer ball, launching him away.

"I'LL… BE… BACK!" He was heard yelling.

As Starfire directed her attention back to Danny and smiled happily, he had the biggest grin on his face.

"THAT WAS AWESOME!"

She blushed hearing that.

"I thank you… those I did not get along with were afraid to be seen as normal humans with a powerful alien…"

Danny smiled as he and Starfire continued flying together. As they did, he had a thought that worried him.

Would she be fine being seen with a normal person like Danny Fenton? After all, I have a secret identity… would that work?

He thought back to his talk with Tucker yesterday after he chose Starfire.

Flashback

"I want this to work but... she's a princess and also a famous hero with NO secret identity and I'm..." Danny paused.

"A superhero too, in case you forgot." Tucker pointed out.

"Yeah, about half the time. The rest of the time, I'm just... Danny Fenton, the bottom of the barrel geek at school..."Danny said. Tucker heard this, marched up to his friend and slapped him. "OUCH! What was THAT for?!" Danny demanded.

"For being an idiot! I mean, get real Danny..." Tucker said. As Dany rolled his eyes, Tucker continued. "Danny, you spent one month with a bunch of cute, cool girls and almost ALL of them wanted you. You finally pick one of them to ask out and now you are getting insecure NOW? Are you kidding me?!" Tucker yelled at him.

Flashback Over

He was still questioning if Starfire would be alright with his double life.

The two landed in a field, far away from anyone, including villains.

Because of what happened, Danny felt concerned about this date.

Starfire may be a heroine, but he didn't want to be a burden for her.

"Well…" Danny said as he scratched the back of his head. "Sorry about that…"

"I am not bothered." Starfire said with a smile.

Danny lowered his arm and smiled.

"Really?!" He asked excitedly.

"Indeed…" Starfire said.

As they shared a smile, Danny started to look down.

"Starfire…"

"Yes?"

"I was wondering… um… do you think we've made the right choice?" He asked.

She looked confused.

"Whatever do you mean?"

"I mean… I don't regret choosing you. You're cool, fun, nice, tough and, to be blunt, you're very pretty."

Hearing that made her smile.

"Thank you."

"I mean… you're a superhero and the princess of another planet! And I'm… well…" Making sure nobody saw them, Danny morphed back to human form. "I'm just a nobody from Amity Park when I'm not Danny Phantom…"

She looked a bit saddened by what he was implying.

"Danny…?"

"It's just… do you really want to be seen with someone like me?" Danny asked. "I mean… I'll give you time to think abou-"

Suddenly, Starfire grabbed him around the arm and did the one thing she thought would snap him out of it, as it is something that she saw in a romance film.

She kissed him on the lips.

WHAT?! He thought in surprise.

However, he soon melted into it and kissed her back. Once it was done, he turned red.

"Okay, now I'm confused! Happy, but confused!" He said.

"I do like you… a lot." She said with a smile. "I care not what others see you as…" She said before looking a bit saddened. "But you are correct on something, being seen with me. Not for the reasons you think though… If both Danny Fenton and Danny Phantom are seen romantically involved with Starfire of the Teen Titans…"

"People would get suspicious…" Danny finished for her.

"Indeed…" She said with a nod. "So for now… we must only be seen together when you are Danny Phantom." She smiled. "However… there is no one around for us to be seen together by…"

Danny looked around and realized she was right.

"Yeah… that's true."

"So, for now, we will save the dating for when you go the ghost." Starfire said. "Eventually, we will find a disguise for me so that we are able to hold the hands in public."

Danny smiled.

"Really?" He asked. "You would do that for me?"

"Indeed. I like you the very much…" She blushed. "It is why I performed the lip contact with you."

"You mean kissing?"

"Yes. On Tamaran, it is our method of learning languages. The kissing of other worlds, including Earth… is done for more affectionate reasons…" She said as she shyly brought the tips of her trigger fingers together as she turned red. "I had seen it done in a film of the comedy of romance and assumed it was the okay…"

Hearing this, Danny kissed her, to her surprise. She then kissed him back.

"I like you the very much too…" He said in her adorable form of talk.

Starfire blushed.

"Then we have nothing to worry about…"

Both of them wrapped their arms around each other and kissed.

"One thing though…" Danny said as he pulled back. "What do I say to people about my new girlfriend?" He asks.

"You may use my real name. Starfire is a translation of Koriand'r." She replied.

"Kory Anders?" Danny asked.

"No, I-" She thought. "Actually, that may work."

"Cool… so now both Danny's are dating a cool girl." He said with a flirty smile.

Starfire giggled.

"Indeed… we are the very lucky."

They resumed kissing.

After another 20 minutes of flying together, Danny and Starfire noticed it was now sundown.

"Well, I guess we should call it?" Danny asks.

"Indeed. I am needed in Jump City soon…" Starfire said. "I hope to see you again soon." She said.

Danny smiled. "Me too. See you later, Starbolts."

Starfire blinked. "Starbolts?"

Danny blushed.

"Well… your starbolts were cool and… the name just came to me… if that's okay?"

She smiled.

"I like it."

Feeling relieved, the two shared another kiss, one that lasted a minute before they parted and returned home. Both very happy.

Danny returned home with the biggest smile on his face. His father took notice of this.

"Hey, Son!" He said from the couch. "How was the date?"

"Kory… is amazing." Danny said. "She's definitely… out of this world." He said with a sly look.

Starfire returned to Titan's Tower, with the biggest smile on her face.

As she landed, she looked back in the direction of Amity Park and felt content.

"I feel we will be ideal for each other…" She said to herself.

Well look at that, I updated this one already!
