Chapter 1: New Kid on the Block

Disclaimer: I do not own Danny Phantom, or God Father's Pizza. But I do own Denise Foster!!!

"Hey Danny get out here," came the voice of Tucker Foley, Danny Fenton's best friend.

"What is it Tuck," Danny asked, coming out of the class room.

"There's a new girl," Tucker said, he had that look in his eye again. Danny looked down the hall and saw a very pretty girl, she had raven black hair, and emerald green eyes, she wore a black shirt that said "Back Off I bite!" and black jeans, and red and black converse shoes.

"She seems nice," Danny commented, and began to walk over to her. When he came up to her, she looked at him, she gave him a small smile. "Hey my name is Danny Fenton,"

"Hi, I'm Denise Foster," she said, "Well that's weird, we have the same initials," she laughed, and when she did Danny felt a warmth in his heart. "So do you know Sam Manson?"

"Yeah, she's my friend, how do you know her," he asked, the two were walking.

"She's my cousin," Denise said, "So who was that guy with you earlier?"

"Oh, he's my friend..." he began but Tucker popped up beside him.

"The name's Foley, Tucker Foley," he said with a very bad British accent.

"Nice to meet you Foley," she said rolling her eyes.

"So where'd ya move from?" Tucker asked.

"Wisconsin," Denise said, with a shrug. "I live near this house with a huge sign on the front,"

"Oh, you mean Fenton Works," Tucker asked.

"Yeah...oh do you live there Danny," she asked turning to look at him.

"Yeah," he replied.

"There you are Denise, geez your mom would kill me if I lost you on the first day," Sam said as she came walking up to the three. "I see you've met Danny and the idiot,"

"Sam, do you have to be so negative," Tucker asked pretending to be hurt.

"Yeah, I'm a Goth, what did you expect," Sam rolled her eyes.

"So how do you two know each other," Tucker asked.

"We're cousins," both girls replied in the same bored tone.

"So Denise, who's your homeroom," Sam asked.

"Mr. Lancer," Denise replied.

"Great, you're with us," Danny said, and the four of them walked to the classroom.

"Ok everyone settle down," Mr. Lancer said in a bored tone, but no one was really talking so it didn't matter. "We have a new student with us, her name is Denise Foster," Denise gave a wave and sat down next to Sam. "And since you know Ms. Manson. Mr. Fenton, and Mr. Foley they can show you your classes.

"Ok," Denise said, and Mr. Lancer turned around, and Sam gave her a note.

D, are you going to tell Danny and Tucker about you being half ghost?

S, I'm not sure they'd really understand.

The bell rang signaling first period, the four of them got up.

"Hey D, can I see your schedule," Sam asked.

"Sure," Denise said, and handed Sam the paper.

"Cool, you've got all your classes with me and Danny, and two with Tucker," Sam said.

"Ok, I think I'll live," she said sarcastically.

"Good," Sam said.

"Hey do you guys wanna come over after school today?" Denise asked.

"That's sounds cool I'm in," Danny said.

"Me too," Sam said.

"Can't I got grounded," Tucker said.

"What did you do this time," Sam asked rolling her eyes.

"I hacked into the computer at school and my mom found out," Tucker said, with a shrug.

Denise, felt the warmth leave, and her ghost sense went off. Danny who was looking at Sam and Tucker felt his go off as well.

"I need to go!" both Danny and Denise said in unison. They ran off to the bathrooms.

Unknown to both they both said. "GOIN' GHOST!" and they transformed. Danny wearing his black and white jumpsuit, with a white D. He has white hair and green eyes. Denise, is wearing a black tank top, with an H on the front, and a black skirt that goes to mid thigh, and her hair is white, with red streaks, and she has sapphire black eyes. They both flew out of the school as many people flooded in.

"Who're you?" Denise asked.

"Danny Phantom, who're you," he said.

"Hotaru," she said, he gave a confused look. "It's Japanese, it means firefly," she said with a slight blush.

"Well, well, what do we have here, two halfas," said an evil voice.

"Plasmeus," both of them said, "Wait you know him?" they asked.

"Well, Hotaru, it seems we meet again," Plasmeus said, with a smirk, "Can you control your powers, those wild untamed powers I am so fond of,"

"Shut the hell up," Hotaru snarled. "I gained more control since we last met," she said, and shot a ectoplasmic ray and hit him in the face, and she quickly duplicated and surrounded him. "Hey Phantom, I could use some help,"

"Oh...Uh...sure," he said, "For what I'm going to do I need you out of the way," she nodded, and her duplicates vanished, then he let loose his Ghostly Wail, and Hotaru had to plug her ears. And Plasmeus flew backwards.

"Ah, I see you've been working also Daniel," Plasmeus said with a hint of pleasure, "I'll return when you two get stronger," and he vanished.

"What the hell was that," Hotaru asked wide eyed.

"I didn't hurt you did I," Danny said, feeling weakened.

"No, but that was freakin awesome," she said, and they touched down, and Danny fell to the ground, she quickly caught him, and gasped when he transformed back into his human half. "Danny," she whispered. Sam came out and saw Denise holding Danny while she sat on the ground.

"What happened," Sam asked worriedly bending down next to her cousin.

"He used this loud eerie wail," Denise said, and she had a faint trace of tears in her eyes.

"You mean his Ghostly Wail," Sam said, she rolled her eyes. "He should know by now not to use that attack, I mean all it does is weaken him,"

"You mean, you knew about him being half ghost?" Denise asked shocked.

"Well yeah sort, of I'm the one who caused him to transform," Sam said with a guilty chuckle.

"What are we gonna do," Denise asked worried, as she absentmindedly brushed some hair out of Danny's face.

"Let's take him to your place," Sam suggested.

"Why not his?" Denise questioned.

"Because, his parents are probably home, and your mom is at work, and your sister is at school," Sam replied. "And we can't go to my house, because my parents don't like him,"

"Ok, lets go," Denise went ghost, and she flew with Danny and Sam to her house. They arrived, and Denise went back to normal, and she looked at her clock, it read 2:30. "Let's get him to the medical lab," Denise suggested.

"Ok," they brought him downstairs, and laid him on one of the beds.

"Do you have an idea on how long he'll be out," Denise asked.

"No," Sam replied. "All we can do is wait," Denise sighed but sat down on a chair next to the bed. "Who were you two fighting,"

"Plasmeus," Denise replied with venom in her voice.

"You mean Vlad?" Sam asked, her eyes wide.

"Yeah," Denise sighed.

"How does he know you?" Sam asked confused.

"He's my father," Denise said, with a dejected sigh, "That's why I'm a half ghost, and only you, Carmen and Vanessa know,"

"How do those two know," Sam asked, although she had a pretty good idea.

"They dared me to do it," Denise said, "And when my father found out he insisted on training me," Denise cringed at the thought, "It was so hard, I just couldn't control this one power," they heard a stirring, and looked at Danny.

"Ugh, my head," he sat up and looked around. "Where am I?"

"You're in my mom's medical lab," Denise said, and he looked at her. "I never knew,"

"Knew what?" Danny asked confused.

"That you're a halfa," she replied, "Don't worry Sam didn't tell me you sort of passed out,"

"How do you know that?" he asked.

"I'm Hotaru," he said. "That's actually my birth name, but after the accident, I became Denise,"

"So how did you know Plasmeus," Danny asked swinging his legs over the side of the bed.

"Don't freak or anything, but he's my father," she said.

"No way, so he was married," Danny asked stifling a laugh.

"Yeah to my mom, but she divorced him," she said. "And what's so funny,"

"Well it's just he's totally obsessed with my mom," Danny replied.

"So you two trust each other enough to tell your deepest secrets," Sam asked.

"Sam do you know something?" Denise asked, her eyebrow raised.

"Well I know that you two are destined to help each other," Sam replied.

"What are you talking about," Denise and Danny asked looking at each other.

"Clockwork came to me and told me this," she replied, with a shrug as if it were no big deal. "Do you guys wanna go get some pizza,"

"Uh, sure," they replied giving Sam a confused look.

As they were walking down the road, Sam in the lead, and Danny and Denise walked a little behind her.

"So who's Clockwork?" Denise question, "And I've never seen her act this way before,"

"He's a ghost that controls time," Danny replied. "I know it's scaring me,"

"Hurry up you two," Sam called over her shoulder.

They came to God Father's Pizza, and Sam ordered for them so they went to get their drinks. Denise got a Mr. Pibb, so did Sam, Danny got a Mountain Dew. Danny and Denise sat at the table while Sam waited for the pizza. Denise was resting her hand on the table, when Danny's accidentally brushed hers, both teens blushed.

"So how long have you known Sam," Denise asked, not looking at Danny.

"Since I was in second grade," he replied. "She sort of rescued me from Dash Baxter,"

"Oh yeah I met him and that Paula, or whatever her name is," Denise said scrunching up her nose, Danny smiled.

'Oh man why do I feel like this, I mean yeah sure she's pretty, but...' his thoughts were cut short as Sam came walking over with their pizza.

"Here it is," Sam said, it was a pepperoni pizza. "So what were ya talking about," she took a sip of her drink.

"Nothing really," they both replied.
