? POV

Strange, how you can be in one place one minute and another the next, huh? Well, my family were attending a ghost convention in Japan when the climate went crazy. A new friend of mine had said that it had "Gone completely out of whack." Well anyway, when we got to the convention all the ghost equipment picked me up and a lot, and I mean A LOT, of ecto-guns were readied and pointed in my direction. "Okay," I said. "I'll wait in the RV!" I had said before leaving with my twin sister, who also had a lot of ecto-guns trained on her.

Well anyway, this left me and my sister with nothing to do for 3 months. We were just contemplating going home when my older sister came in. Her name was Jazz, short for Jasmine, Fenton. She said "Hey guys how about you go to a summer camp?"

"Alright," My twin sister said. "Do they speak English there?"

"Well the councillors are required to," Jazz said.

"Fine, I'll go," I said, better than nothing right?

Well that's how I ended up sat in a tree looking over the lake with my sister next to me. We had met several kids who seemed nice, but, as far as we knew, not one of them spoke English. Between the two of us sat a Japanese to English dictionary and a portable CD player with a learn Japanese in 5 minutes disc in. With all this practice we were doing surely we'd be able to understand something, right? Wrong, I could only understand every other word when people spoke in super slow-mo, and that's impractical. We were just starting to get our heads around the phrase"I would like a large glass of water, please," When it started to snow. It was the middle of July and it was snowing! Not just snowing, it was a blizard.

After a few seconds of staring at the sky in confusion my sister and I ended up in a cabin to the right of the lake with 7 other kids in side. There was Tai - Taichi Kamiya, Sora Takenouchi, Matt - Yamato Ishida, Izzy - Koushiro Izumi, Mimi Tachikawa, Tk - Takeru Takaishi and Joe Kido. Danny - Daniel Fenton, that's my name and Dani - Danielle Fenton is my sister. Well Izzy was crouched on a bed tapping at his laptop and clicking buttons on his phone.

The snow stopped falling and Tai opened the door. "The kaneo races are cancelled," Tai shouted looking at the snow. "So lets have toboggan races instead!" Most of what he said I understood but I couldn't be sure if it was what I thought it was. As the others ran out so did I.

TK skipped out shouting, "I'm gonna build the biggest snowman." Needless to say I only understood the word 'snowman'.

TK's brother, I think, Matt ran out saying,"Hey, TK be careful."

I think Sora was worried about not having a jacket and Joe appeared to be complaining, again! Mimi ran out after him saying something about 'Scruffy stink crow toots.' Okay I really need to get a hang of this Japanese stuff!

Izzy grumbled to his laptop. He so should of gone to computer camp! If he could speak English I might have introduced him to Tucker. They would of got on like a house on fire.

Rather than pick the snow up I made a ball with my ice powers and chucked it towards Tai laughing. It hit him in the back of the head and he laughed bending down. I was laughing really hard when a snowball hit me in the face. "Grrrrrr," I growled at him. "Of course you know this means war!" That was an essential phrase to learn for a summer camp! Even if there was snow!

"Double team?" Dani asked.

"Oh, yeah!" I rolled to the right, Dani to the left, creating a ball of snow in each hand. Once we were back to our feet we launched our fluffy white projectiles towards Tai who just had time to duck before all four hit him in the face. A snowball hit me in the back of the head and I turned to see Matt. He threw a snowball up and caught it again in one hand while the other was creating a second ball on the floor. Dani was facing Tai, her back against mine as the Japanese kids surrounded us with snowy projectiles. At the last possible second I flattened my self to the ground and slid between Matt's legs, Dani doing the same to Tai. Just as we got back to our feet green light spread across the sky. "Woah," Tai said. "Er - What's your name - Izzy! Come look at this!"

The red head came over and joined us, after putting his laptop, phone and camera back into his backpack, and gazed at the sky like the rest of us. "Greek Fire?" I asked Dani in greek.

"It's beautiful, magical even," Mimi said, she stared up at the sky from under the rim of her pink cowgirl hat.

"Yeah," Izzy agreed. "But what is it?"

"Not Greek Fire!" Dani told me in greek. I flashed my eyes green at her.

"Maybe an aurora?" Sora asked.

"You mean Aurora Borealis, the Northern Lights?" Izzy asked. Sora nodded slightly. "That's impossible, you see that in Canada, we're way too far south." Great, I was starting to get a grasp on Japanese just as the kid starts sprouting, what I think was, technobabble about the sky!

"Crazy!" Dani said in English, a green ectoplasmic smoke swirling off her finger as she spun it round her ear!

I laughed at her!

"Tell that to the snow," Sora shot back, I both understood and found this funny! Just as I was beginning to enjoy learning this complex language Joe complained!

"I think we all better go back inside before we come down with pneumonia!" He said, I groaned, this guy would get on so well with Jazz!

"Shut up!" I said.

"Yeah Joe, if we went inside we'd miss this, the sky is like short circuiting!" Matt said. TK just stared at the sky in open amazement, much like the rest of us.

Behind the green swirls of light a black shape was forming, Tai noticed too so when I said "Hey, what's that?" In English, he repeated me in Japanese. From the black thing shot 9 beams of green light, one of them landed at the feet of each of us, knocking us all flying. A snow cloud formed giving me a little cover to float up and check for ghosts, there were none. As the snow settled, so did I. "Everyone, are you alright?" Sora asked jumping to her feet.

"We're still here," Matt said helping Tk up.

"That was scary!" Mimi said holding on to her beloved hat.

"What - What was it?" Joe asked, stuttering, I was a little stunned, if it wasn't a ghost what was it?

"Meteors?" Izzy asked back. What ever they were, they began to float out of the holes they had buried themselves in and now were not too far from the groups faces. "Okay, so it's not meteors." Izzy said.

Tai grabbed the one in front of him first, as did Mimi, Matt and TK. Joe's nearly got away as he made a grab for it. Sora and Izzy had also grabbed their's, along with Dani and I. "What-" Sora said opening her hand. "Are these?" She finished.

Izzy started with the technobabble again and left everyone just as, if not more, confused as they were before. "What no, instructions?" Matt joked.

"Forget the instructions, surfs up!" Tai shouted as the lake came up in a giant tidal wave and crashed to the Earth. The world tilted and we fell sideways into the water. All of us were screaming and I swear I heard Mimi say something about 'cheerleading camp'.
