Chapter 1

(Note this story is going to be from Emily's point of view. NOT Sam's like in GC)

Oh boy. My first day at a new school. I'm nervous. I really shouldn't be. Usually when I go to a new school, or a new camp, or a new whatever, I'm nervous for one reason and one reason only: I have cerebral palsy. It's a physical disability that affects all the muscles of my body, and also the communication between the brain and muscles. I can walk unaided, though sometimes I use a forearm crutch to help me not get so tired, and also to help with balance.

But I shouldn't be nervous for that reason now. The school I'm going to is called Henry Viscardi, and it's just for kids with disabilities. But I'm nervous for another reason: I'm half ghost.

Yep. That's right. I'm half ghost, or a "halfa" as other ghosts call them. And up 'till a few months ago, I felt incredibly lonely. My idol was "Danny Phantom", the hero halfa. He fights ghosts and puts them back in the Ghost Zone.

Then, a few months ago, I was in the hospital for a leg operation, and Danny's best friend Sam was in the hospital for pneumonia. We met, and I met Danny, and they realized I was a halfa. We all just sorta melted together.

Now Danny, Sam, and their other friend Tucker are three of my best friends. They understand my ghost side, and they're cool about my handicapped side...but still. Sometimes I feel like I'm a halfa all the way, no matter what I do. I just want someone who understands all sides of me: my ghost side, my human side, and my handicapped side.

So anyway it's my first day at Henry Viscardi and it's about eight right now. I'm at my locker in the new school. So far things seem ok.

I turned around and nearly yelled in surprise and a little shock. Materializing in front of me was Danny.

"What are you doing here?" I hissed. Danny grinned.

"I came to give you some moral support. And these." He held out a pair of ordinary forearm crutches. But I knew better. These were the ghost crutches that Danny had given me when I was in the hospital and complaining about how my CP got in the way of my ghost powers. With the help of the crutches, I strengthened my ghost powers. And, with the help of Danny and his friends, I became fully aware of another power I had that even most halfas don't: healing powers. This led us into a whole long expedition where we met Isabelle, the healing ghost and yadda yadda yadda. I won't go into that at the moment. Back to my first day.

I rolled my eyes at him. "Great. Just what I need. To be reminded of how I'm different, even in a school for handicapped kids!" Danny patted me on the shoulder.

"It's gonna be ok, Em. I gotta go, or Mr. Lancer will give me detention. Seeya!" And with that, he became intangible and flew through the wall. I stared after him for a moment. I kind of wished he was still there, because now I was alone. All alone.

I stashed my usual crutch in my locker and took one of the ghost crutches. I put the other one in my locker. I mean, who knew? I could need my powers.

A/N: I know that was kinda short a chapter, at least for me, but its the beginning of the story. Anyway I know not much happened in this chapter, but how do you like it so far? I promise it'll get more interesting as the story goes on. Really. I have a vague plan...please review and I'll update soon.
