So pretty much the basics of this story comes from me reading many other ones where Valerie sees Phantom in a graveyard. The title is just because I didn't know what to name it, and since it's evening during the story, it just sorta fit. So, I actually have two of these. Both have the same title. I am going to include them both, but they do not go together. The other one will be posted in a few days. Both are Valerie meeting Phantom at a graveyard though. I hope you enjoy this one. Please R&R.

By The Evening Moon

Valerie's P.O.V.

I walk towards the graveyard. It was about time I paid my respects to the three teenagers that had recently died. I had waited a week to go figuring that by then, no one else would be there.

I glanced up to see I was nearing the graveyard and went though a couple of bushes to head for the clearing the three teens were buried. I was shocked that there was someone standing there. I walked closed enough to the person to see them clearly, but not to where they noticed me.

It was hard to tell much about them by the evening moon, but I was scared to call out to them. The person had on all black from what I could see, which I guess would make sense since they were standing in a graveyard. They had on a black hoodie with the hood covering their hair, and it looked like their hands were in the front pocket.

As the person started to speak, I recognized them to be male.

"Why did it have to be y'all? I should have been there. I should have been the one killed. How did I allow this to happen?" he mourned. I could tell he had been crying as his voice often cracked.

"Why couldn't you have warned me about this Clockwork? I could have changed it! Amity has Valerie and my parents, and it still would have had the rest of team Phantom. Amity doesn't need me! I'm just one more face; one more experiment gone wrong. I shouldn't even be in existence, yet here I am! Why?" the boy screamed throwing his arms in the air as if in devastation.

What was he even talking about? I listened as he continued to speak walking over to the first grave.

"Tucker, you were my best friend. You always lightened the mood and helped when you could. Even when you were dating Valerie, you were careful."

He was talking about me. Weird. Then he moved onto the next gravestone.

"Jazz, you were the best sister I could have asked for. You kept my secret and covered for me, and I knew I could trust you with anything. You would always insist on bandaging me and looking me over and every fight. You risked everything to keep me safe. Thank you Jazz," he paused again and cried.

Suddenly I took in everything he had said so far. Jazz was his sister. Tucker was his best friend. Danny Fenton? It couldn't be though, could it? Why would he come at night though days after people quit coming to pay their respects? Suddenly I saw him walk over to the last stone and kneel down, placing a small white rose on the grave. Around it was a purple and black striped ribbon. He remained in that position while he spoke.

"Sam Manson. I don't know what I would have done without you. I definitely wouldn't be me. If you hadn't of begged me to go into that portal, this wouldn't have happened. But then we wouldn't have had so many adventures. I wish I could have told you how I felt before you died. I didn't want to be your best friend. I wanted to be your boyfriend. I love you Sam Manson," he finished while standing up.

He looked over the graves once more, his eyes falling at last on the one with the single white rose. His white gloved hands reached up to his hood and pulled it back revealing snow white hair.

Without meaning to, I gasped in surprise as I recognized him. Phantom!

He turned around and said nothing as I watched tears fall down his face. Ghosts weren't supposed to have emotions, but I had always noticed that Phantom was different.

Still, I didn't have protection from him. Unless…yes, I had a small ectoblaster in my bag. I aimed it at him to which he responded with a weak smile.

"Shoot Valerie. It means I can go with them quicker."

"What are you? And how do you know them?" I asked lowering the gun. I couldn't shoot him. Not here. Not now.

"How long were you there? Every word was true," he sighed.

My eyes widened as I realized he was Fenton. "How?" I asked, not able to get the whole question out.

Phantom knew what I meant though. He began to explain the portal incident and everything after that. After he finished, his eyes were full of sadness and pain.

"I promised I would protect them. It should have been me. I could have taken at least one of their places. I should have been there to save them," he whispered.

He then walked over to the forest beside us and used his ghostly wail. He let it last until his hair turned raven black and his eyes turned baby blue then two bluish-white rings changed the rest of him to Fenton.

He fell to his knees as his ghostly wail fell silent and looked like he was going to pass out. All his energy was drained. I knew this was his way to let loose everything that had been built up inside of him, even if it did mean destroying most of the forest.

Danny got up from the ground and turned towards me. He smiled warily and walked my way.

"Let's go home," I offered

He nodded his head in agreement. Turning back once more to the graves, Danny sighed. We left the graveyard silently as I walked him home then walked home myself aware of all the feelings I had being pushed away until I could be myself and think things through.

So for people who think Valerie would react differently, I had it set up like this for a reason. They are in a graveyard, both are upset, and I really don't think after hearing what Phantom said, Valerie was going to shoot or get mad at Phantom. Anyways! Please leave a review. :)
