Whoop! I have so many ideas! I can't hold them in! Let's just pretend that Danielle is Danny's younger sister for now.

Crowd: Why?

Me: Because it's my story!

Disclaimer: I do not even come close to owning Danny Phantom! If I did, I would probably be working on a different cartoon instead of the all awesome Danny Phantom! I AM NOT BUTCH HARTMAN!

Chapter 1: The Ectoranium Incident

Danielle's POV~ first person

I sat there, in who knows whose classroom, just waiting for my death.

Maybe I should back up a little.

It all started during 7th period gym class. It was the only class all day that I didn't have with my older brother Danny.

Backing up even further, the reason that I go to high school is for one reason and one reason only: I am super smart.

It wasn't such a smart move to try and play hero though. My stupid instincts. I pretty much despise them.

Anyway, getting back to how it all began, it was during gym class. Mikey spoke up nervously, and I completely understand him. Mrs. Tetslaff (did I spell that right?) is kinda unforgiving when it comes to something unrelated to physical exertion. Like I don't do that every day fighting all of these ghosts.

"Mrs. Tetslaff? Something smells funny."

"It's a gymnasium, Mikey. Of course it's gonna smell funny."

But of course, me being me, I was suspicious. I sniffed the air, which was probably not the wisest thing to do if the air smelled funny. As soon as I took a whiff, though, a searing pain spread through me. I clutched my midsection, using all the willpower that I had to not scream out. The unfortunate part was that I recognized the smell immediately.

Ectoranium.

Ectoranium is an element that is ghost proof and causes big pain to ghosts. I guess that includes half-ghosts too.

But all of a sudden, I smelled something different. This I recognized even faster than the Ectoranium. The acrid smell filled the air, threatening to deprive me of breath.

"Fire," I managed to choke out between the pain and the smoke.

Thankfully, Mrs. Tetslaff heard me and her eyes widened. She raced over with speed I didn't know that she had to the fire alarm, wrenched off the case, and yanked down the lever. Instantaneously, a high pitched buzzing noise permeated the air.

"Everybody out!" cried Mrs. Tetslaff. Kids began streaming out of the building, but I didn't join them. I knew that I had a job to do. When nobody was looking, I raced into the girl's locker room.

"Goin' ghost!" I yelled. A white ring appeared around my waist. The ring split into two and one traveled up my body, while the other traveled down. White hair was exchanged for black, ectoplasmic green eyes for icy blue, a black and white shirt that came down to just about my belly button for my blue hoodie, black and white pants for my red shorts, and white boots for my blue sneakers. My red beanie hat disappeared, and inverted gloves in accordance to my shirt appeared. Danielle Fenton was replaced with Dani Phantom.

I zipped out of the locker room as fast as I could, despite the excruciating pain. I had to make sure that all of the kids got out safely, even though I should be worried about my own safety. I mean, I'm 12 for goodness sake! Why am I risking my life for people I don't even know? But I know the answer.

It's because I chose to take up the responsibility, and I have to live up to my promise.

All the kids are too busy racing through the hallways to notice me. I peek inside every room, every closet, even every restroom. Thankfully there are no kids, but there is no sign of Danny anywhere. Hopefully, he got out okay.

The scent of Ectoranium has been getting stronger and stronger. The pain is pretty much unbearable now. Besides I figured everyone was out. Now I needed to get out myself. The aches are now causing me to revert back to human. Crud. I try to turn intangible so that the flames won't hurt me, but it's no use. The Ectoranium has drained me of my ghost energy. Now I feel only half alert.

I drag myself into a random classroom. The smoke is only three feet off of the ground, so I need to stay low. Of course, I am pretty much unable to walk. I get into the classroom and slam the door shut, which is pretty much a stupid idea. Unfortunately for me, there are no windows in this room. I crawl over to the back, where there isn't as much smoke. I feel like passing out any minute now. No, actually, I feel like I might die.

I actually think I might die today.

And so here I am, just sitting here and waiting for the fire to come and consume me.

My only thoughts are about Danny, for some reason.

Danny, please be okay. Please be out of this horrid place. Please don't be hurt.

Please save me.

Lucky you! I'm not evil and I'm not leaving you on too big of a cliffhanger! Just be glad that I need to switch the POV. I hope you are enjoying the story so far! Hopefully I'll be able to get the second chapter up as well tonight-this morning- I can't tell what it is. I'll try to work on my other story too, but I'm so much more interested in this one.

Sayonara,

dani
