Chapter One

Shaun

Who wants to know what I think? Who would ever want to talk to me? Who would even care? Here on the street I probably look pretty scary to some people and pathetic to others. But still no one would bother with me. To them I only deserve a glance and a quick thought. No one would wonder how I came to be on these streets. Nobody would care to think about what horrors I may or may not have been through. Not that I would remember. After all, I'm just a lonely street-kid with nothing but the clothes on my back, a few coins, and a silver chain around my neck; right? Well, wrong. I also have a secret somewhere inside of me I don't even know. That is, I don't remember. Like I said, I don't remember what horrors I've been through. I just know I've had many. Actually, I don't remember anything before the age of nine. All I know is my name and that someone or something attacked my family about six or seven years ago. I'll have flashbacks now and then but I won't see anything important; until one fateful day when I had the flashback that changed my life forever… again. I saw the attack; I saw the thing that attacked. It was a man, sort of, with shiny black hair, white fangs, and deep red eyes that I'll never forget. I recognized him from somewhere, but I don't know where. The next day was a special day in Washington D.C. The day the legendary Danny Phantom saved the world almost 20 years ago. I've always admired him. I wished I was him. He has a special life full of meaning. People need him to protect them. No one needs me. But he doesn't fight anymore. He leaves the fighting to his daughter, Charlotte Phantom. Who knows who the mother is, after all they're ghosts. He only comes out on the anniversary of the day he saved the world. Anyway; back to the real story. This day was always my favorite day of the year. I'll walk around and gaze on at the festivities that I wasn't allowed to participate in. That year I decided to try to get closer, but when I did the leader glared at me and shoved a pamphlet of the activities in my hands. I ran away, not wanting to get into any trouble, to the alleyway where I kept my things. I sat down, tired from running, and looked at the pamphlet. What I saw surprised me. It was a picture of the attacker. I read the caption: Vlad Masters, the current mayor of Amity Park at the time, in his ghost form. This picture was taken moments after he demanded billions from the entire world in return for its safety. He later died in space after attempting to stop the asteroid. So that's who did it. I must have seen pictures of him on past anniversaries. Vlad Masters, Vlad Plasmius, is the very person or ghost who ruined my life. If only I could find him and ruin his afterlife. The only problem is that apparently he was dead twenty years ago. That was before I was even born. How could that possibly be? I knew there was only one person who could help. Actually, that person wasn't human, he's a ghost and he's Danny Phantom.

Charlotte

*BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* "Ugh!" moaned Charlotte as she reached her hand over to the alarm clock that was beeping. I can't believe it's actually 6:30 already. She didn't want to get up, so she just looked around the room trying to think of a reason to stay in bed. Oh, wait a second! It's my fifteenth birthday today!! Wow. I can't believe I forgot; how unlike me. Now that Charlotte was in a good mood she jumped out of bed and ran to her door. There she started tip-toeing to the bathroom. Obviously, she didn't want to wake her five year old brother, Reggie, or mother. Her father, she knew, was still getting ready for work. Sam, her mom, couldn't work until Reggie was old enough to control his ghost powers. He has never even been to preschool! Charlotte looked in the mirror at her reflection. She remembered when she turned fourteen just one year ago. Back then she was so excited about her parents finally letting her take up the "family business". Now she knew how hard it was. But it was all worth it, Charlotte decided. When she was done in there she went back to her bedroom and put on her signature outfit; a navy blue t-shirt with white around the sleeves, collar, and trim, plus a navy blue and white plaid skirt with navy leggings. To go with the awesome get-up was black swayed ballet flats and small silvery blue hoop earrings; finally she carefully put in her contact lens. A few minutes later she was in the kitchen popping two frozen waffles into their cherry red toaster. "Happy birthday, Charlotte!!" Said her father, Danny.

"Thanks Dad!" she replied, "Can you believe I forgot this morning?"

"My Charlotte? No way!"

"That's what I thought!"

The rest of breakfast went along as it usually did; Father and daughter laughing and joking. Then Danny drove to work and Charlotte met up with her best friend, Finn, on the corner. Finn and she went way back. Though her parents may not get along they sure do. Finn's parents are Dash and Star. My parents and Finn's were never friends and I don't ever expect them to. Finn is the only person, besides Tucker, Jazz, and Danny's parents, that knows of my family's powers. Unlike my mother and Tucker back in their day she's more in the fights than they ever were. Much like Valerie's special suit, but her suit is a dark pink. Not hot pink, dark pink. She doesn't have a hover board; instead there are jets in the feet of the suit. That way, it's easier to kick. Because she's just better at that then her aim. Some would think having all the pressure of fighting on us would be overwhelming. But it's not. It's fun; not at all like it was when my parents were doing it. I guess Amity Park has changed. Not to mention the ghost portal doesn't work anymore. The portal just blew up, no warning, when I was about nine. My dad couldn't figure out why; although he's tried to fix it and even build another one, nothing worked. He's not as skilled with technology as my grandparents were. Ghosts still come around often. We don't know where from but they come. My father himself has changed. Not in a bad way though. He still has the same out of control hair, short height, and joking attitude; but now he's more responsible as he should be. My mother has changed a lot too. She grew out her hair to a bit longer than her shoulder and although she's still in favor of black she's not very gothic either. But of course, she'd still never eat meat. Amity Park was a nice place to live though, all in all.

"Hey girl! Happy Birthday!" cried Finn embracing her best friend. "I got you a little something"

"Oh, Finn! Thanks!" Charlotte replied as she took the small wrapped box.

They started walking to their school, Casper High. As they walked Charlotte opened her gift. It was a thin, blue silver chain, the same color as her earrings, with a small sapphire pendant hanging on it.

"My birthstone!" She cried in delight, "Thanks so much, Finn! You always know the perfect gift!" the friends hugged again.

Charlotte clasped the necklace around her neck and they continued to walk towards school. On their way there they stopped at the Nasty Burger for a couple of milk shakes. After they received their order, the girls sat at the tables outside the restaurant. It was sort of crowded because of the school morning but the friends knew they still had a half-hour until homeroom.

Shaun

As the two girls talked and laughed, Shaun was wide awake and looking around

desperately for any sign of the famous ghost. When he climbed into the brand

-new mustang on top of a car-carrier heading to Amity Park he didn't really think

of what he would do when he got there. He just knew he needed to get there

somehow and it seemed like his only chance. The long trip to Amity Park was

brutal. A couple of times he almost got caught but he was quiet as can be after

that. Now that he arrived at his destination, he knew he had to get off the truck

before it arrived at its destination or there would be no getting away. They surely

would see him. Then the car-carrier stopped at an intersection. He saw at one corner a fast-food restaurant with a lot of teenagers. He thought he might be able to blend in there. But then he looked at what he was wearing. A tattered and ripped dark green t-shirt and light jeans littered with holes. The only things on his feet were white sneakers; at least they used to be white. Plus, his dark brown hair was filthy and all messed up. He hardly looked like a normal teenager. Luckily, the streets were busy, so he had more than enough time to make up his mind. He started looking through the crowd of fifteen-year olds; trying to find someone who he might be able to trust. His eyes fell upon two girls sitting at a table. One had long, black hair and was wearing an all navy and blue outfit. The other was sporting a light, white t-shirt with a deep pink cami and dark, skinny jeans. Her hair was light brown, almost blond. They were laughing and joking as they sipped their milk shakes. Shaun felt a pang of jealousy and sadness. Why couldn't his life be that carefree? Something inside of him said they could help him. But how? Well, it was his only lead. Sort of. Thinking deeply, he continued to stare at the two girls, wondering.

Charlotte

"Hey! Do you see that kid in the car-carrier?" asked Finn suddenly.

"Where?!" replied Charlotte looking out at the street.

Then she spotted him. The filthy boy was sitting in what looked like a brand-new mustang. He also seemed to be staring at them.

"Umm… is he staring at us?" she asked Finn

"Yeah I think so. Well, that's not creepy at all." She replied sarcastically.

Slowly, Charlotte raised her hand and began to wave cautiously at the tattered boy.

"What are you doing?" Finn asked urgently. She didn't answer; something about this boy was special, like he needed them and she never turned down someone who needed her help; even if it was kind of creepy. Then, the boy smiled like he just made a decision and waved back. He climbed out of the car and off the car-carrier just as the light turned green. After that, he continued to walk towards their table.

"Oh my gosh; look what you did!" Finn whispered and then proceeded to sip her shake nervously.

"I didn't think he would actually approach us!" answered Charlotte as she, too, gulped down her shake.

The two girls began to freak out but didn't want to be rude and walk away. When the boy got to their table he stopped, looked around, and opened his mouth; but nothing came out.

The friends looked at each other and then back at the boy. He took a deep breath and said, "You don't know who I am and I don't know who you are; but I think you can help me. I know I don't look like much and that helping me would probably be no benefit to you but I've just got a problem and for some reason my mind is telling me you can bring me to someone that I need to talk to. It's really and I mean really important. So… will you help me?"

The girls looked at each other again and then Charlotte smiled and stood up. "Well, you've come to the right place. Finn and I are the masters of solving problems." Charlotte said, "Just tell me what you need and bam, problem solved. By the way; I'm Charlotte and, as I already said, this is Finn."

The boy looked confused at first, but then smiled and looked as though a lot of weight was just lifted off his shoulders. Finn, however, looked like she just saw a ghost. (Oh wait that's a bad line to use in this story…)

"Um Charlotte," she said through gritted teeth "don't we have classes to get to?" Finn glared at Charlotte as she said this.

"Oh yeah!" she cried, "We only have ten minutes now! Listen, I've gotta go but I know a place where you can stay until school's out!" she said now to the boy. Then, she grabbed his hand and started running towards Casper High, Finn close at her heels.

"By the way, what's your name?!" Charlotte yelled as they ran.

"Shaun!"
