Prologue
"Danny, Pine Tree may be 100% human, but he's much more powerful than most. Him and Shooting Star," said Clockwork.
"Pine Tree? Who would be named Pine Tree or Shooting Star?" Danny Phantom asked.
"That's not the names they go by, but you'll know who they are when you see them." Clockwork paused. "I do know for sure that Pine Tree will be here soon."
"Alright, I'll keep an eye out for this 'Pine Tree' and 'Shooting Star'," Danny said. He turned ready to leave, but paused. "Clockwork, why are they called Pine Tree and Shooting Star, if that's not what they go by?"
"I could explain, but it would disrupt the time. You won't figure out why, but Pine Tree will. And he will tell you when he's ready."
"Ready?"
"Pine Tree is very untrusting. And he has good reason."
"Are you saying I should tell him my secret?" Danny raised and eyebrow.
"Yes. No." Clockwork smiled. "Maybe. It's what you think."
"And as usual, you're speaking in riddles." Danny was annoyed. He turned and flew off into the ghost zone.
