Chapter 1: What happened!?
Something was emerging out of the mass of swirling green, from the shape of the shadow it looked like Danny – he was okay! However, what emerged from the green swirl was not Danny, this person had a glowing set of bright emerald green eyes, snow white hair and the jumpsuit colours were swapped around, it wasn't Danny. There was something strange about this boy too – he had an eerie white glow surrounding his body.
Looking about on the verge of collapsing, Sam ran to him and let the boy rest his wait over her shoulders. Tucker followed suit, coming to face the kid. He didn't know whether to tend to the boy first or to ask him about Danny.
"Are… you okay…? You don't look that good!" said a concerned Tucker, feeling his temperature, and noticing it was icy-cold. "You're freezing!"
Suddenly the boy slipped through Sam, right through, he'd somehow become intangible and half transparent at the time. As he hit the floor he needed every ounce of strength left in him to pick himself up to a sitting position, Sam and Tucker both supported the boy so he didn't fall again.
"How… how did I just do that…?" asked a voice that seemed to echo everywhere. Suddenly it struck Sam like a metal rod to the head.
"Danny?!" she said in a very high pitched voice, much unlike her own. Tucker was looking shocked as well.
"Yeah…?" said the boy uncertainly. "Who else would it be…?"
"Dude…" Tucker started, looking at his friend. "You've gotta look at yourself in the mirror!"
"Wh-why?" Danny asked, looking at the two, who's faces were riddled with shock and confusion. "What's wrong with me?! Tell me what's wrong with me!!"
Sam and Tucker gulped and looked at each other hopelessly.
"Danny, I'll get a mirror." said Sam, running over to the workbench hoping to find something, anything that could reflect images so neither her or Tucker would have to break the news to Danny. She eventually did find what she sought, on old, small and slightly rusty brass mirror. This would have to do. "Here."
Danny, not really knowing what to expect took the mirror off Sam and looked at his own reflection. He remained silent, although his eyes were wide open. It couldn't have happened, how could his eyes turn from blue to a glowing green colour? And how did his hair go white!? And the strangest of all, how did he have that eerie white glow around him…? Why were the colours of his jumpsuit swapped around?
"How…?" was the only echoed word Danny said. Tucker gritted his teeth.
"Danny… I think something went wrong in the portal…"
Suddenly Danny became semi-transparent and fell through the chair, dropping the mirror so the glass smashed. In shock he quickly moved away so he was no longer overlapping the chair that he was sitting on. What little colour left in his face drained.
"What happened to me!?" Danny gasped to his two best friends. "HOWdid this happen to me!?"
"We don't know." Sam said sadly, tears beginning to escape her eyes. "You went into the portal and when you pressed the button you screamed horribly and it full-on exploded…"
The portal stirred, all three friends immediately turned to it, and a camera was spat out, where it clanged on the floor. Tucker walked over to where it lay and picked it up.
"When you were in there, it recorded on it's own!" said Tucker in amazement. "You guys, look!"
Danny, who seemed to have regained his strength, walked over to Tucker with Sam and Tucker put it on the clip, which was looking up from the ground – it must have been dropped – and put it in super slow motion. It showed Danny getting shocked by a horrible amount of electricity, and in the process his hair turning white, his eyes going green, the colours of his jumpsuit change and a white glow cover him. It then showed Danny holding his head after the electricity ended and struggling to walk out of the portal. Tucker stopped it there. Danny shook his head.
"I… I don't think that that was normal electricity…"
"Nor do I…" said Sam slowly. "Danny… I'm only basing this on the last few minutes, but… I… I… I think you're a ghost!"
Danny moved over to where one of the shards of mirror lay, picking it up and looking at his own reflection again. As he looked, he noticed his hand go transparent and the mirror shard fall through. Danny started pacing; his mind racing all over the place. What was he going to do?
"It'll be alright Danny!" said Tucker with concern to his friend. "We can die your hair black too!"
"Thanks Tuck," said Danny grimly. "but even if we do that, we're never going to be able to change my eye colour or get rid of this weird white glow, or stop my voice from producing that echo effect…"
"Then what are we going to do Danny?" Said Tucker desperately. "You're parents are a little... over-obsessed with ghosts. They've been trying to prove their existence for ages, what if they saw you and decided that you would be not only the perfect thing to prove ghost's existence, but they decide to do some sort of autopsy or experiment!?"
"Look, this situation might be a little… odd, but I think we can figure our way around it." said Sam. "Like you said, we can die his hair black, but we can say that he has contact lenses in. Sometimes if you put contacts on your eyes actually change colour while they're there."
"Or we can just tell them the truth…" Danny resigned. "They know a lot more about this than any of us… maybe they can help."
"Danny, are you sure…?" Sam asked him uncertainly. "I mean… what if they do something to you?"
"Yes, I'll turn up for school tomorrow like this." Said Danny sarcastically. "No one will notice the hair, the eyes OR the fact that I seem to be glowing with a white auror or the fact that my voice is echoing wherever I am!"
Frowning, Sam looked worried, and so did Tucker. Danny didn't blame them, but neither was as worried as he was. Although he didn't show it, Danny's mind was racing over what would happen with him. He didn't know what to do, and what if his parents cast him out? What's a ghost meant to do?
