In honor of the Packers playing in the Super Bowl, I'm starting a new Danny Phantom story. If you're interested in any of the other stories I'm writing, I'm either suffering from writers' block or waiting for the next book to get to my waiting hands.

GO PACKERS!

Disclaimer: I do not own Danny Phantom.

Chapter One

Alternate Timelines 101

My family doesn't live near any big cities. We don't live in anything that would remotely resemble a suburb. So, it was unusual for any uninvited guest to come knocking at our door.

Even more unusual if said visitor is a fourteen year-old boy I've never seen before, who collapses as soon as my parents open the door and call my mom "Mom" and beg for help.

I wasn't aware of any other siblings. I've always been an only child and Mom wasn't the kind of person to have an affair.

She was far more interested in her hobbies.

Ghost hunting.

So really, one couldn't blame me if I was a little bit paranoid.

My suspicions only increased when he brought up a "Ghost Portal" and noticed Mom's "Carpet Foamer." So, it was then that I made my mind up to keep a close eye on the boy while he stayed in my house.

This is how I found myself, five hours later, parked outside the boy's room, sitting cross-legged on the floor, holding an energy drink in my hand. Irritated, I glanced at my cell phone, seeing it was nearly one in the morning.

I groaned. Contrary to my suspicions, he hadn't exited through the door. The room was on the third floor, so I doubted he'd try the window.

Another half hour passed. Resigned, I stood up, meaning to return to my room so I wouldn't be dead to the world in the morning.

I laced my fingers together and raised them above my head, stretching my back after the forced vigil.

My eyes strayed to the door. Thinking I'd check on him before I abandoned my self-imposed mission, I opened the door a crack and peeked inside.

No Danny.

Cursing under my breath, I sprinted to the dining room and pulled the door open. Mom's Ecto-Foamer was still there, untouched.

I clenched my teeth. I could think of only one place he could be, assuming he'd found it. Spinning around, I ran in the direction of the library, crashed through the door and grabbed the bust, pulling it forward.

The red button was revealed and I pressed it. I entered the space and walked down the narrow staircase, wondering how many times Mom had watched the Batman movies. Either way, it was a good hiding spot.

I was jolted out of my thoughts by chaos.

I'd been in Mom's secret lab a few times before. Never once had it looked like this. There had obviously been a fight. The Portal was sparking, threatening an explosion.

"Clockwork will help," Mom said, addressing a…. ghost?

I took a good look at the ghost. If I'd seen said-ghost and Danny side-by-side, I would've said they were related.

The only difference was their coloring.

And the ghost was dead…but other than that, resemblance was uncanny.

Before anyone had noticed me, the ghost jumped through the Portal.

I'm not sure why I did it.

If anything, it was the emotions running through me that gave me the adrenaline rush needed to grab the ghost boy.

Sadly, he was already going too fast and, instead of my stopping him, I was pulled along into the portal, right before it exploded.

Okay, so there's the first chapter. Review if you enjoyed please. Reviews are like chocolate.

The tone will definitely change in following chapters, my OC adjusts to the fact she's cut off from her world.

Anyway, thanks for reading.
