Flying out of the bathroom towards Paulina, Danny joins me as we grab her and fly her out of the theater into a broom closet after going invisible so the crowd couldn't follow us.
"Hi I'm Paulina, I'm adorable and swell and full of big-headed anime goodness," Paulina introduces herself while we give her an unimpressed look.
Rolling my eyes at her I lift my hand up and shoot an ecto beam at her forehead telling her, "Bye-bye Kitty!"
An animated kitty ghost flew out of Paulina and started spouting bubbly nonsense. "Hi! Isn't everything in the world sweet and wonderful and—"
Danny quickly cut the cat ghost off by sucking her into the thermos, sighing in annoyance while Paulina turned back into her bratty self.
Turning to me he smiles. "You got the new ghost power too? Awesome! But how'd you know the ecto beam would kick the ghost out of Paulina?"
"I didn't," I slightly shrug. "But it worked."

Tucker sat in a practically empty theater, munching on popcorn and grumbling to himself. "Man, I cover for Danny and my movie gets sold out and I gotta watch this now. I'm tired of being left out all the time. I wish I had ghost powers too."
Hearing Tucker's wish Desiree flies up with a grin, covering him in green smoke as she says, "Your heart's desire is my command."
Tucker squints his eyes shut expecting the worst to happen. When nothing happens he cracks his eye open and looks around the empty theater before sighing in relief when he falls through his seat. Popping his head up he realizes he had gone intangible, meaning he had ghost powers.
"Sweet!"
Flying around Tucker watched Danny and (y/n) enter the theater room and look for him.
"Huh no Tuck, he must've taken off," Danny said as they looked for two free seats.
Oh sure that's what they think, but why would they even suspect? That I was having the time of my fourteen-year-old life.
Tucker starts messing around with people in the theater, stealing their popcorn, drinking their soda, and forcing a dude to put his arm around some girl's shoulder, earning a punch.

It was traffic hour, and one guy who just wanted to be on his way growled under his breath. "Aw man this is bogus! Stupid car. I wish you could just fly over stuff so I wouldn't have to sit here."
"You wish it, so shall it be," The dude heard before looking at his radio and started messing with it.
"What the heck? This isn't my radio station!"
Suddenly his car began flying through the air but he couldn't control it.

Danny and I exited the theater soon taking notice of Desiree flying off and I heard Danny mutter under his breath.
"Jeez lady, don't you ever take a break?!"
I look around trying to find the latest wish granted when something above flies over us and I look up to see an out-of-control flying car.
"Is that a flying car?" I ask in shock before turning to see Danny has run off.
"That works for me," I mumble as I look around for a place to go ghost.
After transforming I began to chase the car, Danny soon joined my side as we caught up with the vehicle.
"Hey slow down Jeff Gordon! You're goin' over the speed limit and the height limit!" Danny yelled at the driver who responded with a panicked scream as he sped away.
I grab Danny's wrist and prepare to fly faster when I come to a stop in shock. "C'mon, we gotta—"
"Don't sweat this one, Danny, (s/n) I'm on it," Tucker tells us before flying off after the car.
"Was that..." I began to ask when Danny finished my question.
"Tucker?!"
Chasing after him we phase into the car and sit in the backseat, Tucker in the front as he tried to reassure the driver.
"Relax dude, Tucker Phantom is on the case."
"Tucker Phantom?" Danny asked and I crossed my arms scoffing.
"Wow Tuck you really just stole Danny's superhero name, how insulting."
Danny quickly agreed with me as he said, "Yeah. So anyway ignoring the fact of the total 'originality' of that we have one question for you."
Throwing our hands in the air we ask in unison, "How the heck did you get ghost powers?"
Turning to face us Tucker had a huge smile on his face as he told us, "Who knows? More importantly, who cares? Now if you'll excuse me I have some roy exploits to attend to."
Tucker grabbed the steering wheel and out of blind panic, me and Danny also grabbed the steering wheel as Danny shouted. "Tucker, we're too young to drive! Let go of the wheel this is serious!"
The car began to move this way and that, which threw Danny into the backseat while I still struggled with the wheel. We were nearing a building which caused Tucker and the guy who was originally driving to scream.
Looking back at Danny I yell at him, "We have to go through NOW!" Danny gave a quick nod before gripping the seat and turning the car intangible. I quickly grabbed the shoulder of the dude and turned him intangible while helping Danny with the car.
We phased through the building with ease and thankfully nobody got hurt.
Tucker looked out the window, and back at the building before stating in an annoyed tone, "Oh sure, phase the car through the building. You two had to save the day didn't you?"
"Uh yeah, because a car smashing into a twenty-eight floor of anything IS BAD!" Danny shouted at Tucker.
"You're just jealous because there's somebody else around here to grab the spotlight now," Tucker said pointing at himself.
"Why would either of us be jealous? There is no spotlight to be had. Nobody ever thanks us, nobody has a prize for us for all to see. We're doing this to protect innocent people from ghosts!" I shout when the driver grabs my shoulder shouting.
"Yo, hallucination! Focus!"
Turning around I give a small shout and grab the wheel, steering out of the way of another building, "How do you drive?!"
The boys weren't paying attention as they were still arguing.
"When have we ever grabbed the spotlight?"
"How about right now for instance."
"Would you two quit fighting for two seconds and help me?!" I shout just before we crash into a mill filled with seed.
"Tucker please, you're my best friend. I'm not jealous, I'm concerned," Danny said as we phased out of the seed with the guy who ran away once on sturdy ground.
"Well don't be this town's big enough for more than two ghost kids," Tuck stated flying away at a super speed.
"Tuck wait— Woah, we can't fly that fast. Is it me or is he getting more powerful?" I said looking at Danny with worry written all over my face and he nodded his head still staring where Tucker flew off in shock.
