"She still exists, just as a ghost. Not a bad one either." I heard him say before I returned to my lair with Tidal Wave close behind, her lair was nearby in the frozen reaches of the ghost zones equivalent of the Artic. I sat down at the screens and watched, knowing I would be needed again and soon…

A/N

This is the sequel to The Apprentice. I still only own Reena, Lyra and the plot. BTW Tidal Waves lair is not near the Far Frozen. It's closer to Pandora's castle. Another thing Reena and Charlie were quite close before she died, not dating but almost best friends and mutual crushes.

Tucker's POV

To say my parents were happy they could see their daughter again as a spirit and still get to know her was an understatement. When I had told them what she had said they were almost in tears. I thought at first that she might stay in the ghost zone until I caught her sending ghosts back one day near Casper High.

Flashback

Danny ran out with Sam and I close behind. It was lunch break so we weren't skipping class. We saw a familiar blue beam from a Fenton thermos and saw Skulker going into the thermos. A familiar face stood behind the beam, Reena. She was back… I knew it wouldn't be the last and I was sure it wasn't her first ghost catching run out of the ghost zone. Tidal Wave stood beside her chatting idly as she closed the lid of the thermos.

She turned and saw us before landing and transforming and running to the back of our group to tackle Lyra in a hug, "You're okay right?" She asked her as she pulled back out of the hug. It had only been a month since her death and no one had recovered yet. The people who were fairing the worst were our parents, Lyra and Sophialina. However, everyone could still see her in the ghost zone or on her ghost hunting trips.

I turned to her as she broke out of the hug, "How long are you going to stay?" I asked. She shook her head as in she was leaving now before transforming and taking to the skies, her dark purple dress giving her the appearance of a bat or a vampire. We had spoken to Tidal Wave recently and we knew she had become Clockworks apprentice, his power was fading and she had begun to take over from her own lair. She was going to become the master of time…

End of flashback

The master of time, was going to be my twin sister. As soon as Clockwork decided she was ready for the responsibility and she takes it on…

Reena's POV

Clockwork faced me and I knew it was time, he began to fade holding out the staff whispering a warning, "Changing the past could have dire consequences for the future." I remembered all the times I had heard the warning before whispering my thanks as his staff fell to the floor and his lair disappeared. I picked it up and returned to my own lair watching the screens as the staff changed to a form better suited to me, a small bracelet with a clock on it, much like a watch only nicer. I summoned it to it new form for use, a thinner staff with intricate designs around it up to the top where a small clock sat. A wave of sadness came over me as I realized that Clockwork really was gone. I couldn't seek advice anymore, I would have to use my judgement to decide how to allow time to continue without disaster befalling the world.

I did what I always do when in thought; I went to Amity Park and just flew through the skies. I flew instinctively towards the home of my parents. I noticed where I was going and went to another place I hadn't been in quite a while, the Manson house. I knew Charlie would be there and I felt the need to talk to him, we had become close over the short time we had known each other. I found him staring out the window of his room fiddling with a pen and just finished drawing a plan for his next prank. I smiled, something's never change, and I landed behind him in his room startling him before he turned and smiled slightly at me, "Hey…" He whispered after spotting me.

I smiled before tackling him in a hug, "Hey…" I whispered back into his shoulder. He knew something was up but didn't ask just returned the friendly hug. We stayed like that until he spoke quietly, "Are you busy Saturday?" He asked.

I looked up in shock and he smiled, "I'm a ghost with pretty much nothing to do. What do you think?" I smiled back, "And do you mean like a date?" I asked. He smiled and nodded. I was surprised, "But I'm a ghost…" I whispered.

He shrugged, "Doesn't matter to me." He paused, "So when should I pick you up?"

I laughed, "From where? The ghost zone?" I asked and he nodded. I looked at the floor and blushed the hug suddenly getting awkward I pushed away, "Anytime is good." I smiled and he gave me a hug before the TV in his room started on a emergency news report, we then knew we only had 18 days left before an asteroid, now known as a disasteriod destroyed us. I looked up at him, "Maybe we should find a way to save the world first." He shook his head, date first, get our minds off things. I smiled before whispering, "I'll see you later okay?"

I traveled back to the ghost zone with my mind reeling, a ghost and a human together, almost a forbidden relationship. I got back to the ghost zone and collapsed onto the bed in my room. Even ghosts had to sleep sometimes, to restore energy lost in fights and traveling through the portal. I fell asleep quickly and smiled to myself, I had never been average, ghost or human.

Dream

In my dreams I was back in the cage beside Sophialina and Lyra, I was crying. Sophialina reached out her hand and took mine, "When we get you out you will have a loving family, and possibly a sweet boyfriend." I smiled in my sleep even though I knew she had been joking, "You'll see…" The dream than turned dreamless as I realized she was right the whole time, about everything…

End of sleep

I woke up to the blinding sun on the Thursday morning, two more days. I walked to the screens and saw Vlad beginning to make the arrangements for taking over the world in exchange for saving it. I was slightly alarmed when I heard what he was going to do, turn the asteroid intangible, I knew it wouldn't work, it was made of ecto-ranium, an anti-ghost element. I looked to another screen where I felt pure horror, Danny had gotten rid of his ghost half… The only person other than Vlad who could save the world was now powerless… This world was doomed…
