Hello my fellow humans, ghosts or halfas! I have adopted this story from Charmelon, and I only rewrote these first three chapters to fit my writing style. I hope you enjoy!

Disclaimer: I do not own Danny Phantom or Charmelon's work.

I stared at my reflection in the mirror, horrified by what I saw. My normal neon green eyes were a light blue, not even glowing slightly. I wasn't donned in my favorite black and white jumpsuit, only in baggy pants and t-shirt.

Why do I look like this? I thought, looking down at my hands.

They were slightly paler than usual. I ran my hand through my no-longer white hair, and sighed. I felt grounded like this, unable to feel the lightness I usually do.

It's almost physically depressing, feeling like I'm unable to fly.

I shook my head, knowing that wishing will not change anything.

I guess I'll have to wear a jacket to hide this.

I stared at the mirror a moment longer, hoping for something to happen. I shook my head, and dug through my closet. I pulled out a slightly large black hoodie, and slipped it on. I looked to to mirror, and I was satisfied with how it hid my face.

I quietly slid past the kitchen, not wanting to encounter any of my family. I heard my father yell loudly, and I froze. I saw his large figure run by, shortly follow by my mother's petite figure.

They must have discovered the portal to be working, how, I'll never know.

I tried to take the lead, but I heard my sister behind me.

"You're up early." I heard her say.

"I was going to meet Sam and Tucker." I replied, not turning around.

"Okay." She told me, but I could tell that she didn't believe my lie.

I quickly left out the door, not giving Jazz any time to respond with some spiritual nonsense.

The walk was surprisingly calm, the usually annoying sun felt nice today. It warmed my exposed skin, stopping my hands from shaking.

Why was I feeling so cold? I have an ice core for pete's sake!

I shoved my hands into my pockets, hiding them from view. The sky above my felt like is was suffocating me, and I felt trapped.

Why do I feel like this?

I slipped my hands out of my pockets, and I clamped them into fists. I saw Sam's dyed black hair in the distance, and I shoved my hands back into my pockets. As she can closer I could see her dark eyeliner, and counteracting light green grass dress.

"Danny, you're here early." She stated, confusion leaking into her voice.

"Really?" I respond, already lying to my friends.

I could tell that she didn't believe me, and I mentally cringed on how fake I did sound. Tucker flew in, clutching a device in his hand.

"Ew, you lovebirds need to get a room." He said, noticing our close proximity.

"We're not lovebirds!" Sam and I shouted together, green lightly dusting her cheeks.

Sam extended her hand, wrapping Tucker in vines. His device fell from his grip, but disappeared before it touched the ground. She flicked her wrist, tightening the vines around Tucker. She looked back to me, and narrowed her eyes.

"You changed your clothing, I thought you loved your jumpsuit." Sam analyzed, forest green eyes pulsing.

"Yeah." Tucker added in, short of breath.

"I just wanted to try something new." I defended myself, hoping they didn't read through my lie.

They just shrugged their shoulders, failing to on Tucker's part.

"You better release Tucker if we were to get to school on time." I told Sam, smiling slightly.

She pretended to consider the options, while Tucker's red eyes widened slightly with fear. Sam flicked her wrist, now making the vines retreat into the ground. They both started to levitate, and I focused on trying to get afloat. I felt panic grip me, but I didn't let it show.

"Are you coming?" Sam asked, starting to drift away.

"I decided to walk today." I explained, feeling slightly more confident with this lie.

I've lied to my friends today more times than I ever had.

"It's usually Sam making all the changes with her ultra-recyclo vegetarian." Tucker commented, earning a glare from Sam.

"Come on." She practically commanded, dragging Tucker by his arm.

I watched them become blurs in the distance, the green sky hiding them. I felt the grip of loneliness, even though I practical told them to go one without me.

I can't keep lying to my friends, it just leaves me feeling guilty and alone.

I glanced at the watch on my wrist, realising that I would have been at school by now.

I wonder how anyone could get anywhere walking.

The school building finally started to appear, and I started to sprint, not wanting to be late. I got to the front steps of the building, when the first bell rang. I tried to take two steps at a time, not wanting to be late. I felt myself falling, and I hit a step ahead of me.

Why did I run so fast? I had ten minutes.

I brought my hand to my nose, wiping it. I saw a red liquid cover my fingers, and I instantly recognized it from some of the test tubes in my parents' lab. I felt a weird beating in my chest, and a shortness of breath.

Do I have a heart beat?

I placed my hand on my chest feeling the strange beating.

I remember my parents telling me about this in one of their lectures. This is a heart beat, something humans have.

I ran behind a tree, not wanting anyone to see me. I stared at my shaking hands, releasing something.

I've become human!

I breathed in and out, something I should do if I don't want to pass out.

You'll be fine, you can keep this secret.

I turned back to the building, making sure my hood was firmly on my head.

I still need to go to the bathroom to clean the red off my hands.
