Danny goes to punch Skulker when a dragon claw grabs his fist. 

We look up to see Pointdexter riding the dragon as he tells us, "I know this might sound a little fishy but Skulker isn't the bully here." 

"Coming from the guy who stole someone else's body and refused to give it back because you wouldn't hear us out. What are you talking about? What are you all running from?" I ask with a glare at all the ghosts.

I'm not much for grudges but still, that jerk stole my identity I have every right to be angry with him.

"His name is Pariah Dark the king of all ghosts," Ember tells us as Skulker chimes in. 

"While we may be in a hurry we'll always have time for this." 

All our enemies started ganging upon us as we were hit left and right soon to be swarmed by ghosts. I'm shot into the small alley separating my house from Danny's and he was shot in front of it as we detransformed Sam soon coming out of the house.

"You ok?!" I heard her ask before saying, "Sorry, standard question; what was that about?" 

"I dunno but I think Vlad Plasmius just became the least of my worries," Danny said as the two walked inside and I phased back into the bathroom.

Valerie was flying around on her hoverboard with Vlad sitting behind her as he made sure the equipment was to her liking.

"So the equipment is to your liking? It functions properly does it?" 

"Heck yeah! It's like you designed it just for me! Why would you do that? I'm like fourteen," Valerie questioned as she landed on a roof and pulled down her mask. 

"You're also the most capable ghost hunter I've ever seen. You're smart, you're fast, you're strong and most of all you're motivated," He told her. 

"Really?" 

"Of course, why else would I say such a thing? I'd have to be some sort of oh diabolical villain to manipulate you like that," The two burst out laughing as Vlad continued, "Oh ho, I kill me...Or Jack or (m/n)." 

This earned him a stare from Valerie so he quickly gets back on track. He reaches inside his suit and pulls out the ring of rage and gives it to her. 

"My dear it's the reason I can trust you with this." 

"A ring?" Valerie questioned as she examined the green ring with a skull in the center. 

"Not just any ring; it's been passed down from ghost hunter to ghost hunter for generations." 

She slips on the ring, causing her hand to glow.

"I don't know what to say." 

"Don't say anything dear but please let's keep it our secret hm?" 

A ghostly wail echoed through the night catching Valerie's attention.

"It was probably Jack goofing up again, I believe you have a job to do." 

"I won't let you down, Mr. Masters," Valerie said before flying off as Vlad watched her as he transformed mumbling to himself.

"Oh of that you can be sure and young Daniel and (y/n) will be so busy protecting you...Stealing those battle suits will be a snap."

Back at Pariah's castle, the Fright Knight was gathering up the troops. 

"Your armies are massed? Then on my orders—" 

"On MY orders, go to that world, bring the ring to me, and to those who stand in your way show no mercy." 

The king interrupted the Fright Knight and sent his troops out to find the portal.

The bell rang for lunch and we headed into the cafeteria, grabbing our lunch trays when Tucker walked up and asked Danny, and me, "Dudes you ok?"

We give him a blank stare.

"Sorry standard question. Late night?"

"Of course, it was a late night! Every ghost we know and about a million we don't are loose!" Danny shouts agitatidly. 

Danny and I were running on zero sleep from trying to catch ghosts all night, and we had barely made a dent. It didn't help, the ghosts kept escaping after we put them back in the Ghost Zone. Suddenly an Ectopus appeared and stole Danny's lunch.

"Not to mention I couldn't sleep because my arch-enemy was in the guest room next to me," Danny grumbled, letting out a yawn.

"My parents sleep in the bedroom next to me. It's not the same but I can't sleep either," Sam muttered.

"Hey, Danny! (y/n)!" Valerie calls out.

"Hey Val!" Danny and I say hi back in unison.

"'Hey Val'? Isn't that the same Val that's usually on a jet sled trying to paste Danny and (s/n)?" Tuck asked and Sam gave a sarcastic remark.

"Yep, and apparently next week we're having cookies with Skulker." 

Before I could tell Tucker he had no right to judge since when Valerie had first started ghost hunting he didn't care if Valerie was trying to waste them or not, Valerie spoke up. 

"You might want to bag lunch it outside this isn't exactly the safest place for either of you right now." 

"What makes you say that?" Danny asks when Kwan and Dash walk up behind us, a heart-shaped box and a bouquet of flowers in Dash's hands. 

"Hey, Fen-Turd. No teachers around to protect you, no nerds around to hide you."

"Hey! I resent that! I'm plenty nerd!" Tuck says angrily walking up and Dash throws his food in his face. (Glad to see you're accepting it, Tucker! Welcome to the dark side where I can promise we DON'T have cookies because I joined the dark side and all I got was this lousy button. *Holds up actual button that says I joined the dark side and all I got was this lousy button*)

"What did I tell you about bullying my friends? What do you even want?" I ask crossing my arms as he gets on one knee.

Oh no. 

"(y/n) I love you." 

Even though you've done nothing to get to know me and you constantly bully my friends? Yeah, I doubt that. 

"So just dump this loser already and come to me. You know you want to babe, I even got you flowers and candy," He said stuffing the flowers and candy in my hands.

What was this Valentine's Day?
