Hey everyone! So yeah, instead of writing and getting onto those other ideas I had for a bonus chapter for Prices...

Well, I came up with the idea of writing about Phantom's past while living in the ghost zone! Not only does this fan fic let you know what Phantom was doing but it also gives you some information about himself! :D

This is based before Helping the lost and Prices. You don't HAVE to read them for this to make sense but I highly recommend reading them so this can make even MORE sense! (If you get what I mean.) There is a particular paragraph in HtL that may come in handy to have read for this fan fic.

I will get onto those other bonus chapter ideas soon. But for now... you can read this!:

Phantom was happily relaxing. He was in his lair in the ghost zone, reading a book while floating. His back facing the ground while his front faced the ceiling.

Suddenly, the door to his lair was knocked upon. He frowned and tried to pretend that the knocking hadn't even happened. He wasn't feeling like having visitors today.
The quick two tapped knocks rapped again as Phantom concentrated on reading the book even more. Finally, after two more quickly tapped knocks the door was opened.

'Guess they were too impatient.' Phantom thought to himself. He sighed, turning over so now his back faced the ceiling and looked to see who his visitor was.

"Phantom! I have come up with another idea as to what to do to rule the world once I finally find a portal to lead me to the human world!" A voice said.

"What is it this time, Boxy? Make it quick, I'm trying to relax." Phantom replied.
"I can steal Pandora's box!"
Phantom felt himself roll his eyes.
"And just how are you going to do that? She has countless amount of guards and a HUGE complicated maze! Before you will even reach the temple where the box is kept. Plus, she would be in the temple, guarding it. Phantom said.
"Since when did you know so much about Pandora's place?" Boxy asked. (It was his nickname. His more formal name was: the box ghost. Yes, most. Imaginative. Name. Ever! *sarcasm*)
Phantom flew over to a bookshelf he had in his lair and searched for a book in particular. Once he had spotted the book, he took the book out of the bookshelf and gave it to Boxy.
"Here, you can have a read of it if you want." He said.
Boxy frowned.
"Places of the ghostzone? How did you even get this?"
"The ghostwriter wrote it, it's where I've gotten most of my books from." Phantom said pointing at the bookcase.
"Okay then, but take your book back. I don't have time for reading! I have to come up with and put plans to action about taking over the human world!" Boxy said.
Phantom took the book from Boxy and tucked it between his arm and side. He frowned.
"So, going to go through with your plan and leave me be?"
"Yes I am! See you soon, Phantom!" Boxy said as he slammed the door shut behind him.
"Good riddance." Phantom said as he flew over to his bookshelf and returned the book to where it belonged.
'Now where was I? Oh yes, page 137...'
With that he continued to read.

Not even five minutes later his door was knocked on. This knock was more of a quiet one tap, one that someone who wasn't a ghost wouldn't easily hear. After at least five minutes of waiting the door opened slightly.
"Phantom? You there?" A voice called.
Phantom grumbled quietly and closed his book with a slam.
"Yes, I am." He answered.
With that the door opened fully and Kitty floated into the room.
"What is it?" He asked, neon eyes glaring.
"Hey, do you think Johnny will like this outfit I have recently gotten?" She asked.
'What am I now, fashion police as well as a problem solver?' Phantom wondered to himself in annoyance. He just really wanted some time alone. Even if it were only a full human day alone, he would be satisfied. But no, the longest he had been left alone in such a long time had only been 30 minutes. And even then straight afterwards 20 or so ghosts came at the same time to his lair, for all sorts of reasons.
murphy's law, he supposed.

Kitty held out a pair of dark purple skinny jeans, a green strap on top and black high heels.
"Yes I'm sure he'll love it." Phantom said with hardly any emotion in his voice.
If he had any emotion with his tone at the time, it would've had a lot of anger and annoyance in it.
"Really?" Kitty asked checking, eyes sparkling.
"Yes, really. Can you leave now! I have some things I need to do!" Phantom asked, not hiding his emotion anymore.
Kitty folded her arms and glared at him.
"Like what? Reading? You always seem to be doing that when I come over."
"Well what else do you think I'll be doing, hm?" He asked/snapped back.
She bit her lip.
"I don't know..." She whispered quietly.
She then turned around and flew out of the room.
'If everyone would leave me alone for a human day I would've finished this book now. I'm finishing all my books that I own before I give myself something else to do. And with them always interrupting me...
It'll take awhile till I get through my books.'

Phantom was now only just a page away from finishing his latest book he had been reading. With ten more interruptions after Kitty's one over an hour ago he had only had 10 minutes to himself for reading.

Suddenly, the door was kicked at. The sheer force of the kick sent the door off it's hinges and it hit Phantom's lair's wall with a bang!
Phantom looked over to the door that was now busted on the wall inside his lair.
'Oh well. Now the ghosts don't have to knock on my door anymore. They can just fly straight in. This is like, Oh I don't know...
The tenth door that's been broken in the past week.'
Phantom's eyes and attention turned towards the ghost that was floating in the entrance of where the door used to be.
"Did you have to bust the door."
"This is urgent, ghost child."
Phantom glared.
"You've gotta stop calling me that, Skulker. You don't hear me calling you nicknames, do ya?"
"No chance. I'll call you what I want to call you. Now, why I came here...
I'm trying to win Ember back. Tips?"
"Seriously AGAIN? This is the FIFTH time this has happened during the last month."
"What can I say...
she overreacts over the slightest thing.."
"What happened this time?" Phantom asked as he crossed his arms.
"One of my ghost creatures escaped out of it's cage. It wrecked my lair. And that includes her guitar that was in it at the time."
Phantom winced. He wasn't sure if Skulker knew just how much Ember loved that guitar but he sure did. She could get another, sure. But her guitars were special to her. Very special.

He put a hand to his chin in thought.
'What could Skulker do...
Oh!
I know!'
"Get her a new guitar. Plus, take her to a concert or throw her an amazing date. Don't forget about apologizing." Phantom answered.
"What type of date?"
"It depends on her taste. Here, I've got just the thing." Phantom flew over to his book case and grabbed a book titled: Girls and dates.
He then flew back over and gave it to Skulker.
Skulker studied the book for a few seconds.
"Yes... this will do quite well.
Thank you ghost child. Until next time."
Skulker said as he turned to leave.
"Be careful with that one! I don't want a repeat with what happened with the last book I let you borrow!" Phantom said as he was about to shut the door, but then sighed as he looked over his shoulder at the far wall again.
'I'll need to look through the book of ghosts again. I'm sure I'll be able to find the address of the lair of the woodworker again.'
He flew over to the book he had left on the ground where he had last been floating.
He picked it up.
'But first...
I have a book to finish..'
With a smirk, he opened up the book to read.

That's the end of chapter 1! I'm not exactly sure how many chapters this story will be but I do know that it's going to be a short fan fic.

More interesting stuff is going to happen in either the next chapter, or the chapter after that. (If there is going to be more than two chapters...)

And... yeah! So, hope you enjoyed and please review! :D
