Danny Phantom: Chapter 1

(Danny)

I was sitting on a shelf in the ghost zone with Sam, we were having a picnic for no reason at all. It was peaceful and quiet, strange for the ghost zone, but it was nice. Sam decided to break the silence, "Danny," she said looking at me questionly. "Yeah, Sam?" I answered. "What if, if, I was part ghost too..." she said staring into my eyes, waiting for me to reply. "Why? Are you thinking about... going ghost?" I answered finally. "Yeah, I mean, I can help you fight... and don't you think having another... uh... halfa, around would be nice?" "I guess so," I finished.

After that, we sat in silence. It wasn't so much as an akward silence, but more of a 'nothing else to say' kind of silence. So, like I said, we sat there. Watching a few ghosts fly by and eating sandwiches that we stole from Jazz's school project thing.

Then suddenly, (and out of nowhere) somthing came at me from behind and knocked me off the shelf. As I fell, Sam sceamed my name, "Danny! No!" "Sam!" I screamed back.

When we finally landed on a shelf I realized what hit me... It was a girl, around my age. She had light blonde hair with yellow eyes. She looked at me with shock, "I'm so sorry! I'm trying to find... uh... wait." she got up and stared at me. "You're him, aren't you, you're the halfa!" "Yeah, I'm the halfa. Who are you, and were you looking for me?" I said as I stood up and brushed myself off. "I need you're help." she said. "With what?" I said, still unsure of what she was trying to get through to me. "I am a halfa too, you have to help me controll my powers!" she said, clearly scared. "Who are you?" I asked her calmly. "I'm Jenny." she replied.

"Ok, Jenny. Do you know how to fly?" I asked. "Uh... I think so..." she said and jumped up and, waving her arms around trying to get her balence, hovered above me. "Hey look, I can fly!" she yelled in exitement. "Ok, good. Now all we need to do is-" I got cut off by Jenny. I turned around to face her, and she was now hovering upside-down, shreiking and waving her arms and kicking her feet in all directions, "Get me down! Get me DOWN!" she screamed. I sighed, flew up, and took her in my arms. She clung to me with her life until I was firmly planted on the shelf. I let her go and she stood up and turned around to face me. "Thanks."she said, and looked up. I did the same when I heared Sam calling my name, "Danny! Are you ok?" "Sam! I'm fine!" I yelled back.

I turned back to Jenny, who turned back into a human. I could see now, that she really had dark brown hair, and light brown eyes. "Come on," I said to her. "Where? Up there?" she said, "Yes, up there." I said as I picked her up in my arms and took off flying from the shelf. Once again, she didn't let me go until she was sure my feet were firmly planted on the shelf.

"Who's this?" Sam asked. "Oh, this is Jenny. Apearantly, she's a halfa too." I replied. "Oh, swell." Sam said sarcasticly as she walked over to examin Jenny. "She doen't look like a halfa..." Sam said, more to herself than anyone else. Just then, out of nowhere, Jenny turned ghost again and gave out a little yelp. "Ok then..." Sam said and walked towards me.

"So, Danny. What are you going to do with her?" Sam said to me. "Uh... I don't really know..." I answered truthfuly. I really didn't know what to do with her. I looked over at Jenny, she was up-side down (again...) and she was flailing her arms and legs around screaming, "Get me DOWN! GET ME DOWN!" then she turned human and fell onto the shelf. Sam and I just gigled. She was pretty funny, you have to admit.

Sam and I helped Jenny to her feet. "Do you have a place to stay, Jenny?" I asked her. "No, I guess not." Jenny said. "Well maybe you can stay..." I cut off, Jenny and I both looked at Sam. "What? No! Don't even think about it!" Sam said backing away. I glared at Sam. I didn't want a stranger in my house! But, I guess it's better my house than Sam's. "Ok, fine. Jenny will stay at my house until we can figure out where she came from, and how to send her back." I said. Jenny smiled and followed me as I picked up Sam to go back into the human world. "Let's go Sam, we're gonna be late meeting Tucker at the Nasty Burgur, come on Jenny, you can come too." I said, taking off from the shelf. Jenny turned into a ghost and quickly followed behind us.

When we reached my portal, Jenny hesitated, but went through. When we got into the house I quickly ran up-stairs to check if my parents were home. Nope, no one in sight, good. I went down-stairs to find Sam and Jenny looking around the lab. Jenny was in her human form, so I think she's kinda getting the hang of her ghost powers. "Coast is clear." I said, "And why, exactly, does the coast need to be clear?" Sam asked. I simply answered, " Because Jenny's coming with us." then I headed for the stairs, again. "Really?" Jenny said exitingly. "Sure! Besides, I just can't leave you here by youself." I said back. "Yay!" Jenny shouted. "Wonderful, absolutely wonderful." Sam said sarcasticly.

We walked into the Nasty Burgur togther, looking for Tucker. Sam spotted him near a window sitting with Valerie. We walked up to them to say 'hi', and introduce Jenny when Dash came up behind me, "Hey Fen-turd! Who's the new girl? Is she your new girlfriend ?" he said teasingly. "No, Dash. Just leave me alone." I said with no emotion. "Too bad, cause she's kinda cute." he said grabbing Jenny's shoulder and yanking her back to him. "So, how about goin' to the school dance with me friday?" Dash said to Jenny. "No, please let me go," Jenny said trying to keep calm. "Why should I?" Dash teased. "Now!" Jenny shouted. Dash jumped back and yelled, "OH MY GOSH SHE'S A FREAK!" Dash and his crew (the football team) ran out the door, not taking a second to look back.

"Jenny?"Sam said softly to her. Sam and I peeked at Jenny's eyes and saw what Dash had seen, her eyes were glowing yellow, (the color they are when she goes into her ghost form.) they slowly faded back to their original light brown color. "What?" she asked looking from Sam to me. "Jenny, your eyes. They were glowing!" Sam said to her quietly. Jenny gasped and put her hands over her face and started softly weeping. I led her to the table that Tucker and Valerie were sitting at. We sat down and I took her hands away from her face. "I'm a freak." she said miserably. "No, you're not a freak. It happends to me all the time," I said and turned my eyes green. She gasped a little, but then calmed. "See?" "Yeah,"she said and smiled.

(I told Valerie a while ago that I was half ghost and after a while, she accepted me, and stopped hunting me.)

"Tucker, Valerie, this is Jenny. She's half ghost too." I told them. "Really? That kinda explains what happened with Dash back there." Valerie said. "Yeah, and I don't think anyone else seen." Tucker added. "hey Jenny?" "Yeah?" "Where did you come from? How did you get changed into a halfa?" Valerie asked. "I don't remember much... I just remeber waking up and knowing I had to find Danny..." Jenny answered. "Huh, don't you think that's a little weird?" Valerie asked sounding more and more curious. "Yeah, I guess so." Jenny replied. "So I guess you don't have any clothing or jewlery or anything... oh you poor thing! Let's go shopping!" Valerie said jumping up and down. "Really? You'll take me shopping?" Jenny said exitingly. "Yeah! And I doubt you have any money, so it's my treat." Valerie said. "Wow! Thanks!" Jenny said. "You comin' Sam?" Valerie said, getting her purse ready. "Shopping? No, that's on my list of things that'll never happen."Sam said. "I'll just hang here with Danny and Tucker." "Are you sure?" Jenny said. "Yep, Later." Sam finished and turned around to face Tucker. "Alright then, suit youself." Valerie said as she led Jenny through the doors and out to her mini limo.

After they left, we just sat in silence. Oddly enough, that's what we always seem to do now... Besides ghost fighting that is.
