Chapter 1: Meat Phantom Angel
(Hailey's POV)
It was 7:45 on a Friday. Britney Spears' "Baby One More Time" was playing on my radio. I got up and got into the shower singing Rebecca Black's "Friday". I got out and dried myself, then went back into my room and headed into my closet. I chose my favorite outfit – my pink tank top with a red heart on it, stone washed jeans, and sliver ballet flats – then headed downstairs, giving my dog, Spencer, a pet on the way. Unfortunately my little brother, Logan beat me down by sliding down the stairs. "Dweeb!" I shouted.
I guess I should introduce myself. My name is Hailey Jacqueline Fenton, but you can call me Hailey. It's the first day of school after thanksgiving, and we still have some of my Bubbie's doughnuts in the refrigerator. Yeah, technically I'm Jewish, but only on my mom's side, which means I celebrate Christmas and Chanukah, as well as my birthday which is around the same time. I'll be 14 this year. But Jewish isn't the only thing I'm half of. You see, my dad's NASA Lt. Corporal Daniel Jackson Fenton, AKA Danny Phantom, who saved the earth from the disasteroid nearly 24 years ago. As his children, my brother Logan and I have inherited his powers, though he's keeping our identities under wraps until he says so. My mom, Samantha Manson Fenton, got ghost powers when she was shot down by skulker, an enemy of my dad.
"Logan, be nice to your sister," mom said in her signature tired morning voice. "She'll be turning 14 next month after all" "Which reminds me; Hailey I have a surprise for you" he put a gold locket in my hand. I opened it; inside was a picture of my and my dad and the words "Keep the Faith" engraved on the back. "I want you to never lose faith in your powers." Dad said "I did once and it nearly cost the world." "Don't sweat it dad!" I said. "I'm sure if anyone wanted me to take away my powers, I'd catch them and remove their powers before they could get their hands on mine!" "If I had that attitude back then…" he said. We hugged. "By the way, Hailey," mom said "We've hired you a talent agent so the phantom angel can go public" "Seriously?" I said in disbelief. "Sure!" dad said. "now that you're almost 14, we've decided it's time to introduce the world to phantom angel and phantom warrior!" "All right!" Logan said. I squealed.
After I finished the pancakes my dad made for us, I grabbed my backpack, put my head phones on, switched into phantom angel, and flew to school. On the way, I passed my neighbor Justin Spitzer's house. I have the ultimate crush on him. Just as I was daydreaming about our walk down the isle, I heard a voice call my name. I landed in front of my aunt Jazz and Uncle Tucker's house, where my step-cousin Sasha was waiting. You see, Sasha's biological mom died in a car crash when she was a baby, then my dad's BFF married his sister and they had her half-brother, Jaden, together. To Sasha, my aunt Jazz has been her mom all her life.
"Hey Jay!" Logan said. "Race ya to school!" then he flew off. "Hey no fair you have superpowers!" Jaden said as he ran after him. "Ugh! Little brothers!" Sasha gasped. "IKR! I'm like so glad we wont be in the same school as them next year!" I said. "So, you wanna walk to school with me?" "Sure you'd rather not fly?" "Nah! I'd rather walk with my BFF/cousin." So I changed back into a human and we walked to school.
(Justin's POV)
I arrived at school and was called to principal Iwerks' office. I walked in where he and Mrs. Foley were waiting. "I had a talk with Mrs. Foley," the principal said "and we decided your idea of a all-day all-vegetarian cafeteria menu is a great idea." "You did?" I asked "Well of course!" Mrs. Foley said. "I know you have a thing for my niece." "What? Who says I'm doing it for your niece?" "Don't worry," she said "I'm sure she'll love it."
I walked back over to my friends, Ryan Kerr and Kyle Armstrong. "What's the matter?" Kyle asked. "Mrs. Foley knows I have a crush on her niece."
(Hailey's POV)
It was second period English class with Ms. Mackelroy. Now normally I'm a good student, but when it comes to Shakespere, I can't help but fantasize a bit. As the teacher read through "Romeo and Juliet", I guess I fell asleep. I guess I was talking too because Ms. Mackelroy came over and asked me what "wherefore" means? "Huh…? Oh, 'wherefore' mean why nurse – I mean Ms. M!" Suddenly Ms. Jones, the history teacher came running in. "We have an emergency!" she said in her sophisticated British accent "Pierre, the school chef has been kidnapped by a meat-hungry demon lunch lady!"
I knew immediately what I had to do. "I'm Going Ghost!" I shouted as I changed into Phantom angel. As I flew off to find Pierre, I heard Ms. Mackelroy say "Kids, I believe we have just met Danny Phantom's Daughter."
I found Pierre at a butcher shop (figures) tangled up in sausage. "Hailey? Hailey Fenton?" he asked in his French accent "Is that you?" "Don't worry Pierre!" I said "I'll save you" "No you won't!" said I voice behind me. I turned around it was the demon lunch lady. Suddenly I heard my dad "Hailey!" he said throwing something at me "Catch!" I looked at it it was a thermos. The Fenton Thermos! I knew this game! I sucked up the lunch lady ghost faster than you can say "Salsa Verde."
The rest of the day went pretty normal, other than my dad giving a lecture about who his family was. Later, Uncle Tucker, Aunt Jazz (who just happens to be the guidance counselor, BTW) and my cousins came over. "I just don't understand why someone would change the menu to all-vegetarian." I said "I'll give you a hint" aunt Jazz said "it was a secret admirer" "Justin Spitzer?" I asked hopefully. "Maybe…" she said back in a voice that said "Yes."
The doorbell rang "I'll get it" I said. I opened the door, and there stood a blond woman in a low-cut, Jennifer Lopez X-rated Armani style blazer and mini skirt. "OMG! You're Morgan Bailey the famous talent scout!" "SURPRISE!" mom and dad said. "She's your new talent agent." Dad followed up. "Hey where's Spencer?" Logan asked. "She's probably on a mission." I said. Yes my pet chiweenie is a secret agent. An alien queen gave her to us.
