Hey, everyone! This is my first fan fiction including Danny Phantom. I'm excited about this fan fiction, but I'll only upload if you review! So after every five or more reviews I get, I'll upload a new chapter. Anyway, here is The Mystery Phantom! Enjoy!:

I. Bribes

Dipper woke up and looked around. He felt as if he wasn't supposed to be in the room that he was in. The walls blue and empty and his bed had purple sheets. He noticed that his sister's bed was identical to his, on the other side of the room.

"Mabel! Where are we?" asked Dipper.

His sister woke up, sat up, and looked around, obviously confused. "I don't really know?" she replied. "Where are we? Where are we supposed to be? And why did we go to bed in our day clothes?"

Dipper realized that he had no answers for any of Mabel's questions. He knew pretty much as much as she did and had no memory of anything but his own name, and Mabel's name. He didn't even know their surname.

A teenage girl with orange hair wearing a black shirt, light blue pants, black flats, and a headband the same color of her pants walked in. She was wearing a backpack and carried two others.

"Dipper, Mabel, hurry up!" she said. "We're gonna be late for school!"

"Who are you?" asked Dipper as he and Mabel got out of their beds.

"Your sister, Jazz," said the girl. "Duh! Good you're already dressed! Maybe we can get to school early!"

She tossed the backpacks to Mabel and Dipper, and then walked out of the room.

With so many questions, the Dipper and Mabel followed Jazz down the stairs and out of the house they were in.

"Jazz, stop!" ordered Dipper. "Who are you and where are we and what is our school?"

Jazz looked at Dipper and her smile vanished. "Oh my gosh!" she said. "You really don't know! I can see it in your eyes! Oh, no! Do you remember that you have—?"

Suddenly, a blue ghost with green fire for hair and a beard wearing a black tank top, black pants and various mechanical gadgets flew out of the ground. Jazz yelped when she saw him.

"We meet again, ghost child," the ghost said.

"I think I know what to do in this situation," said Dipper. "I'm going ghost!"

A white ring appeared around Dipper's waist, split in two, and traveled in opposite directions.

When the rings got to the top of his head and the bottom of his fear, Dipper was wearing a black bodysuit with white hands and feet. On his chest was a blue pine tree emblem identical to the one on his cap and in the middle of the pine tree was a black, italicized letter D with flames.

"Whoa!" said Mabel. "You have powers!"

"Calm down, ghost child," said the ghost. "I'm only here to collect the money."

"Who are you and why should I give you money?" asked Dipper.

"I am Skulker," said the ghost, obviously confused. "I collect a weekly bribe of fifty dollars to not tell Danny Phantom your secret identity."

"Danny Phantom?" asked Dipper.

"Your marvelous dictator," supplied Skulker. "If he knew that you were a halfa like he is, he would have your head! Wait a second! Why am I explaining all this to you? Just give me the money!"

"No," said Dipper.

Jazz paled. "I don't think that's a good idea, Dipper," she whispered.

"You should listen to your sister," Skulker said. "If you don't give me the money, I'm going straight to my boss, Danny Phantom, to tell him your secret identity, sending your life into hell!"

"You're not getting any money!" snapped Dipper. "I don't have any money to begin with. And even if I did, I wouldn't give it to you!"

"Very well," said Skulker gravelly. "You have been warned." He flew down the street.

I know that this chapter is kinda short, but the next one will be longer. If you what to find out what Danny's first action will be and what Dipper will recall or be told, review. As said before after I get five or more reviews, I'll upload a new chapter.
