Problem setting references to GetComponent Script function return values

Hello! I am trying to get a vector2 from a pacMan script function so I can find the vector between pacman and an enemy.

I want to subtract pacman's position from an enemy position.

Here is my code from the enemy class:

 private Vector2 pacPos;
 private Vector2 position;
 private GameObject pacman;    
 private PlayerScript pacManScript;
 privateVector2 v;
 
 void Awake ()
     {
         pacman=GameObject.Find("PacMan");
         pacManScript=pacman.GetComponent<PlayerScript>();
     }
 void Start () 
     {
         
         position=new Vector2(1,1);
         pacPos= pacManScript.getPosition();
         v=pacPos-position;
 print("distance between pacman which is "+ pacPos+ " and inky's "+ position+ "is  "   + v);
 
     }

Here it is not working, since the pacPos reference gets a wrong vector value.

When I do this though it works:

 print("distance between pacman which is "+ pacManScript.getPosition()+ " and inky "+ position+ "is  "+ (pacManScript.getPosition()-position));

Here I am not using a reference.

I was wondering how come this is the case? It seems that my pacPos reference to pacManScript.getPosition() doesent work the way I want it to, it gets assigned a wrong vector.

Thank you...I really want to understand GetComponent.

Take Care.
