Hi. My name is Daniel "Danny" Fenton. I am the youngest in my family which consists of me father Jack Fenton, my mother Maddie Fenton and my older sister Jasmine "Jazz" Fenton. We would have been a typical American family. You know the ones with embarrassing parents and overbearing older siblings…were it not for one fact. The thing that sets us apart from other families all over America is the fact that my parents hunt ghosts.

Yup. You heard me. I come from a family of ghost hunters. My parents are also quite accomplished scientists. They create these devices with which they either use to study ghosts or, and quote," dissect them, molecule by molecule." You must be wondering, why aren't they both in the mental hospital, right? Well, it's quite simple. It's because…we live in the most haunted place in the world.

Amity Park. Where ghosts haunt on a regular basis. You know, I'm surprised people haven't got used to the idea of ghosts haunting their town. Well, maybe they could have, had it not been for the fact that most of the ghosts that visit the town plan on either destroying it or ruling it.

I am partially to blame for that. You see, a year ago, my parents built this device which they said would open a portal between our world and the ghost world. So naturally, Jazz and I had to attend, but sadly (for them), it didn't work. So, a few days later I brought my friends Tucker Foley and Samantha "Sam" Manson to see it (oh and a little note. If you ever call Sam Samantha, Prepare for a world of hurt. Trust me…you do not want to go there). Tucker is an African-American who is in love with technology (but that does not stop him from flirting with almost any female he sees). Sam is a gothic, animal loving Ultra-Recyclo Vegetarian (basically, she likes dark colors and depressing thoughts; she hates animal abusers and she doesn't eat anything with a face on it). She is also quite rich and has these two bright and peppy parents. Can you imagine a Goth having to live with people like them? But wait! Later on you will come across more absurd situations.

Anyways, as I was telling you, I brought Tucker and Sam to my house because they were curious about the "ghost portal". I was quite nervous as my parents didn't like people coming down to their lab without their permission or supervision. I should probably give you a layout of my house. It was a three storey house wit a basement, but then my parents came and they added an "ops center" to the roof. They also converted the basement to their lab and some rooms throughout the house to either training rooms or storage rooms.

Sam then dared me to go inside the portal. So being the idiot I am, I agreed to go in and started wearing the standard hazmat suit. This was just a white shirt and pants with black gloves and boots. Lucky for me, Sam had taken an imprint of my father's face off the suit or else I would have been made a laughing stock. Later on, due to wish she made (it will all make sense later. Just wait a little bit), she got a chance to put, what would later be considered my symbol, an insignia instead of the face. It was a large black "D" with a smaller "P" in it.

So, as I was saying, she dared me to go in and I went. It was quite dark in there which caused me a few stumbles as wires were littered all over the floor. Tucker called out to me to see if I was ok as he heard a few of my stumbles. I tried to answer him but at that exact moment, I had another fall and I pressed onto a button. The last thought in my head before a wave of green light came and hit me was, 'oh shit!', because in that split second I saw the button which I had accidently pushed. It was an ON button. When the wave finally hit me, I was pretty sure I was dead because no one could feel pain that intense and still live to tell the tale. Fortunately for me, I didn't have to bear the pain for long as I soon blacked out.

When I came to, I was on the floor of the lab with Sam and Tucker leaning over me. For a second I thought I had imagined it all. That is, until I saw the swirling green, swirling…substance in the portal. It was now fully functional and working fine. I slowly got up and made my way towards the portal. On my way there, I saw a glimpse of myself on a wall mirror…but the person I saw was not me! I rushed to the mirror to get a better look. The person that stared back at me had pale skin, glowing green eyes, snow white hair and a shimmering aura around him. At first I was shocked but when later inspecting myself again, I realized that besides the changes, it was still my face staring back at me. I was even wearing the hazmat suit, even though the colors were inverted.

Suddenly I heard my parents coming down the stairs. Then it hit me…I was a ghost in my ghost-hunting parents' lab. Now I was beyond worried, I was terrified. I didn't know what to do. Luckily for me, Sam and Tucker were there. They were still shocked about my transformation but they also realized the trouble I was in. we were frantically looking at each other, searching for a way out when I felt this strange tingling sensation all over my body. The next second my parents came down the last step and I closed my eyes, awaiting my faith…but it never came. I slowly opened my eyes and saw them look at the portal in shocked silence. I looked at Sam and Tucker and they were pointing at me. I looked at my hands and realized that they were back to their original color. I had changed to human form. I then realized that I was not a full ghost but a half ghost-half human hybrid. It's been a year and a half since that episode but my parents haven't yet figured out about my powers, though Jazz has found out. Talk about irony. A half-ghost living in the same house as two ghost hunters yet they have no idea.

After gaining my powers, I sort of took it upon myself to protect the town from the ghosts who enter, or should I say exit, through our family portal. Over time, I slowly gained control over my old powers, and also managed to acquire some new ones as well. But as a fellow superhero was once told: with great power comes great responsibility, so I had taken it upon myself to keep not only Amity Park but also the whole world safe as greater threats rose from the depths of the ghost zone.

Lucky for me, I was not alone. Sam and Tucker continuously supported and assisted me in keeping the ghosts in check, and later on Jazz joined ours ranks, which helped immensely. It was becoming quite troublesome making some kind of excuse to my parents about my bruises, mysterious outings and low grades. Jazz really helped the situation at home. No one on earth knows about my condition except Sam, Tucker, Jazz, Valerie, the entire ghost zone and the others. Now you must be wondering, 'What others?' Good question. You see, I am not the only half-ghost out there. Yeah, you heard me; there are other half-ghosts out there. To be more specific, there are only two others that I know of: Vladimir "Vlad" Masters and Danielle "Dani" Fenton.

Vlad was in college with my mom and dad. They were working on a small version of the ghost portal when my dad mistakenly put soda in instead of ecto-filter. This caused a small explosion which caught him full in the face, giving him a dangerous condition called ecto-acne. This had also given him his ghost powers. Years later when he had recovered from the ecto-acne, he began plotting his revenge. Back then he wasn't a big believer in ghosts but after acquiring some ghost powers of his own, he quickly changed his mind. He began possessing billionaires from all over the world and had them, invest millions in his business so that he quickly became a multi-billionaire himself. He had developed a ghost lab of his own and started researching on how to make him more powerful. Oh, and did I mention he has this insane crush on my mom, deep hatred for my dad, and wants me to become his son/apprentice so that one day I would take over his empire. I know; what a crazy, mixed-up fruitloop. And do you want to know something else? He created Dani!

Dani is female clone Vlad made of me. There were other clones created as well. He was trying to create a "perfect son". I said it before but I'm going to say it again; what a crazy mixed-up friutloop. The other clones that were created had no will, no mind of their own, but Dani was different. She had a will and a mind of her own. When she finally understood Vlad was just using her, she helped me kick some serious friutloop butt. Afterwards, she dramatically flew off to the horizon. It wasn't until some time later when I heard from her again. All the clones that Vlad had created were very unstable; they would dissolve into amass of goo if they used too much of their powers, and Dani wasn't any different. It was lucky for her that my dad is such a bad ghost hunter. Using some of my dad's Ecto- Dejecto (a serum that makes a ghost more powerful) and Valerie's help, we managed to stabilize Dani. She once again dramatically flew off towards the sunset. Now I get postcards from different parts of the world. Try explaining that to your parents.

Now as to who Valerie is; she was once a member of the popular crowd, but due to a ghost-dog –gone-wild-and-wreaking-havoc incident, her father lost his job and she was kicked out of the popular crowd. Her full name is Valerie Gray and she is an African American girl with long, curly black hair and dark green eyes. She also is a ninth degree black belt in karate. A few months back, Technus (a technology crazed ghost who wants to take over the world) decided to play match-maker. He nearly succeeded in bringing us together; heck, I was even ready to propose but she turned me down. She broke up with me because she was afraid the ghost boy would use me to get to her. I know. My life really is chock-filled with ironical situations, isn't it?

Wait! I completely forgot to mention how she helped me save Dani. So, as I said, because of a ghost dog (I call him Cujo) and also because of me (Danny Phantom), she lost everything. She had to move from her house to an apartment, had to get a job at Nasty Burger to help her father with the expenses and became an outcast in school. So you can understand her hatred towards ghosts, especially towards the ghost boy or inviso-bill as I was known back then.

Then the crazy old fruitloop had to just come and interfere. He gave a pink, fully-equipped ghost-hunting suit to help her hunt ghosts. She was extremely bad at the beginning of her career but later on…oh man! Did she get better! She was almost as good as my mother. Do you remember a while back, I said that Tchnus tried to play match-maker? Well, it was during that incident when she gained a new, upgraded suit. Technus decided to give her a helping hand by giving her a new suit after he forced me to destroy the old one. The new suit she has is a red and black suit that is sort of integrated into her body because she can summon it whenever she wants. Now she has experience hunting ghosts, which pales considerably in front of her hatred of all ectoplasmic kind (excluding Dani, whom I suspect is sending her postcards as well), and a new, fully equipped ghost-hunting suit which is equipped with some of the most advanced ghost hunting technology I have ever seen. But that is not the worst part. The worst part is…the suit can be upgraded. It can integrate any new weapon it comes across. CURSE YOU TECHNUS!

Up till now I have kept talking of my human life. I haven't touched the ghost side of my life yet, except for one or two encounters. Now I guess begins my narration of the ghost side of my life. So hang onto your seats ladies and gentlemen…the story had yet to begin. Up next…The Life of Danny Phantom.
