I think I am getting better. :)

Casper High

"Students, we have a new student in our classroom today. Please welcome him with warmth and kindness."

And that was my queue to come in. I was wearing a short sleeved shirt with the band name called 'Bleeding Hearts' on it. I had fishnet gloves all the way up my arm disappearing under my shirt's sleeve. It also stopped at the wrist by two spiked wristbands that were colored black and crimson red. Two on each arm. One tight and one loose. The tight ones were thick so they could hide the scars on my wrists. I had combat boots on. Like the ones that Sam used to wear. I also have leather black jeans with red straps at the bottom of the left leg and a chain with a crown and ring charm on it.

(Author Note: If you don't know what Danny's other name is then there was a hint)

My hair had blue and silver stripes in it making it a black, blue, and silver rainbow all mixed up. I had my eye liner and a mask of indifference. "Yo my name is Daniel Phantom. I'll be here for as long as I like. Don't call me Danny or Dan and we'll be just fine." I said.

I heard murmurs passing through the room. Some for my name and others for what I said afterwards. "Mr. Phantom it isn't nice to threaten people on your first day to a new school. And don't you mean you'll be here up till you are eighteen?" Mr. Lancer asked.

I could tell by the look on his face that he was going to be a pain in the ass in the near future. "No. I mean as long as I want." I said looking straight into his face and then walking to a vacant seat next to what's-its-name... Backer... Barker... Baxter! I'm going to have a lot of fun messing with him for the time that I am here. I put my feet on the desk and put a book on my face. I could feel that Lancer was glaring at me. That was why I put the book on my face. "Mr. Phantom, please pay attention." Lancer said, using the same tone he used to say with me when I was a Fenton. I lowered the book from my face and looked at him blankly and then I said something that he didn't expect.

"No."

I heard snickers around me as I put the book back on my head. I could tell that Mr. Lancer was shocked and then pissed. "Mr. Phantom. Detention." He said glaring at the book on my head.

I didn't really give a damn it wasn't like I would actually show up. I could feel the eyes of three very shocked people. I lowered my book and smiled my eyes at them then covered my face with the book again and then proceeded to ignore him until the bell rang for lunch. When I got out there I saw Jazz. She looked as beautiful as she did before...

I shook my head. Get a hold of yourself Daniel. "Excuse me?"

I looked up to find that it had been Jazz who had said that. Oh no."I couldn't help but overhear what you did in Mr. Lancer's class this morning."

"So?" I said clearly annoyed no matter how much I had loved my sister. This was not my sister.

"I think you have a problem and I would like to help you." Jazz said.

Oh great I just became her newest patient. I went over to a table, sat down, put my head on my arms and proceeded to try and sleep. I then realized that she had been blabbering about something. "Are you even listening to me?" She asked with a strict look.

"Nope." I said popping the p slightly while smiling a very Danny like smile, which she probably took note of.

"Jazz stop pestering him."

I turned my head to the side and looked up to see it had been my alternate and younger self who had said that. His friends were behind him. I felt slightly jealous that I could no longer do any of that with my friends. "Hey do you want to sit with us." Sam asked.

With all my heart I wanted to say yes, but I couldn't. I would get attached. So I made a plan to get them to leave me alone or to hate me. I then rudely said "No."

Sam frowned. "Why not?"

"Cause I don't like you."

"Why?"

"Too average."

"Excuse me?" I heard that it had been Tucker who had said that.

"You heard me now leave me alone." I said while getting up to go to lie down in the shade of a tree and sleep. I had no idea why but I was very tired. Through my super hearing I heard them start to talk.

"That was really rude."

"Didn't his family teach him any manners?"

"I don't think he meant it."

"What part of 'leave me alone' don't you get?"

"All of it. He doesn't mean it. I know that he wanted to say yes. Call it whatever you want but I know."

Damn Jazz and her scientist mind. She had seen right through me. No one but Sam and Tucker could do that. Not even Clockwork. I closed my eyes and tried to get some sleep when I heard an obnoxious voice say."Look what do we have here. The Goth baby taking a nap?"

I turned around hoping to get away from him but he kept pushing until he said something that made me snap.

"I bet his parents hated him and kicked him out. You know what they say. The apple doesn't fall far from the bush! Or was it the tree..."

I had heard enough. I jumped up and kicked him in the face by jumping into the air and twisting me body and kicking my leg out when it was near his face. I then grabbed him by the scruff of his jacket and threw him very hard. So hard that it shook the tree that he hit. I then picked him and held him to my face and with a menacing face that I only have when I haunt. In other words, when I am in ghost form. I say.

" You don't speak that way of my family. If I hear a single rumor about my family around the school I will show no mercy. I will kill. You have been warned." I dropped him making him fall on his butt hard and i then put on my mask of indifference and walked away with my hands in my jeans pockets. I barely hid the malice that my ghost self had become so famous for. I went over to another tree. It wasn't as big as the first but it would have to do. I then heard the bell ring signaling that lunch was over. I cursed under my breath. I didn't even gotten any sleep or anything to eat! In the ghost zone, for some reason I had no need or ache to sleep. Or to eat for that matter. It was starting to catch up to me. It had been 4 years since I had left the human realm. Give me a break. I got up and walked the halls to my next class. I remembered everything. The halls, the doors, and even Poindexter's locker was exactly the same. Why did I enroll into this school again?

Because you have to...

I know but still...

Stop complaining human, be grateful that we get to see our old friends and family alive again.

They aren't my family or friends. They. Are. Dead.

Sigh... Whatever you say Danny. Whatever you say...

That's when he stopped talking and became dormant again. The only people I let call me Danny now is myself, Sam, Tucker, and Clockwork. He became some sort of second father towards me when I went to him.

(The italics stand for Ghost Danny. Danny is mostly split between two different personalities. His ghost and human. His other personality formed after his parents and friends died in the accident. Ghost Danny is quite evil and malicious. Okay very malicious. Beyond that he is actually very wise.)

I was brought out of my day dreaming when I was at my math class. I hated math when I was younger and was terrible at it. Now it is actually too easy. I can do college level math without breaking a sweat. When I lived with Vlad my room was piled with books. Literally. There would be stalks of books here and there. Vlad had assumed that it was just plain interest in reading. What he didn't notice was that most of them were about death or depression.

I sat down in a chair and got out a book that would be called "Kingdom of the Ages" in the human realm however, in the ghost realm it was called "The Reign of Pariah Dark"

(Author Note: If you haven't figured out what his other name was yet then you just got another hint.)

I got the book from the ghostwriter. I was the only person that when I came to his library, the books never tried to bite me. The ghostwriter knew my past and he then recognized me as a fellow ghost who felt their pain. He also knew about how many books I read in my dark times, so he allowed me to borrow books from his Library. He gave me this book as a present in honor of who I am...

(Author: You just got another one... -_-)

I hung out in his Library a lot and he didn't mind at all. He had become a really good friend of mine. "Mr. Phantom? Are you paying attention?" I heard the teacher ask. She looked really worn out and I sighed. She must be new. "Yes I am." I said and put my book away. I saw Valarie and the other three look at me surprised. They didn't think I could be kind to a teacher but this one would be a exception.

She didn't need any trouble from me. By looking into her eyes I could see her past, present, and future. It would get better for her eventually but for now she had enough trouble with her life. All of her debts and ex-boyfriends... that must be rough.

We've been through worse.

I know.

Then why the hell do you pity her?

Cause I am not heartless.

Still so soft...You will understand one day...Perhaps.

I then no longer heard his voice. I mostly didn't mind him in my head but when we disagreed, which was usually very rare, it was very tiring because he wouldn't drop it and neither would I and when I would wake up almost say...4 hours or more had passed.

I then proceeded to look at her with my icy cold blue eyes which I knew made her squirm inside. It has been a long time since I pitied a human... well it has been a long time since I last saw a human so that was understandable. I didn't actually listen but I pretended to. I was actually a very good actor. "Today I am going to give you all an assessment test. Do your best." She said with a sad excuse of a smile on her face. For those who were observant could tell that she probably was on anti-depression pills.

I didn't bother to hide the fact that everything that was on the assessment was far too easy for me and finished within five minutes. "Mr. Phantom? Are you done already?" The woman asked, surprise clearly written on her face and I simply nodded. She took my paper and proceeded to check it. It took her awhile. A loooooong while. It was already the end of the period by the time she finished checking. "Mr. Phantom? Can you stay after class?" She asked looking somewhere between bewilderment and amazement.

After everyone had left I put my head up. She was now standing right in front of me with the same expression. "You're a very smart boy, Daniel. All of the questions you answered were right." she said.

"I know." I replied impassively making sure to not let anything out.

"You could be in a high level class."

"I know but I don't want to. Can I please go?"

She frowned at me. When she was about to reply I lifted my head and looked her straight in the eyes. My toxic green eyes that anyone would either fear or love. They held so much emotion. My own emotion. We ghosts lived and fed on the happiness and the fear of others. My eyes held everything that I held back. Even the unshed tears. They glowed with a bright hue while I worked my way into her very soul and gave her an opinion about me. A simple "A+" student that there was nothing special or mysterious about. I leaned in to her my eyes widening even more than before while my mouth crept into a creepy smile. In the ghost zone I had been told that the eyes were the windows to the soul. In my case they were. My eyes could penetrate deep into the heart, to the very core or soul of any living, or nonliving thing. I could manipulate what the person was like, what they felt, what they wanted to be, and even their memories. I could break them simply by tweaking an emotional event into something even more that could live and haunt them for the rest of their life. Most of the time I didn't care because I barely SAW any innocents. I would change this woman completely. Give her confidence, a temper, and happiness. Overwhelm her with good energy that came from her good memories and make her life worth living. She would be happy. The next time I see her she will be completely different. I stood up and turned her to the side along with me where she wouldn't hit her head when she fell. I saw her pupils fade and she then fell into my arms. She had fallen unconscious. She wouldn't remember what he did but the EFFECTS she would feel. I picked her up and held her in my arms with ease. I sat her in her chair so that everyone else assumed that she had fallen asleep if they found her before she woke.

Afterwards I went to the gym. Surprisingly I was with Valarie and the others. Again. Fate is playing with me. I had modified the P.E. uniform to be black. All black. I saw them and then quickly turned around and quickly attempted to escape before-

"PHANTOM! Front and center!" Ms. Tetlaff yelled in a voice that barely sounded like a woman.

I walked over to her and did a look over. She was... exactly the same as he remembered. Just like everything else.

By now everyone knew who I was. I didn't hear one bad rumor and I smirked.

Serves him right.

Tell me about it. I should... thank... him later.

I like your idea.

When me and my ghost agreed, it never meant good things for other people or innocent bystanders. Be it mischievous or pure evil. "You'll be paired up with Valarie for the period. Understood." She said with a final tone in her voice with cockiness. I looked her in the eyes and I decided she wasn't an innocent at all. Therefore, there was no reason to listen to her.

"No. I don't listen to people like you. 'Understood.'"

I smirked at the her bewildered face while I held back a snicker. I saw some of the students gasp while some weren't that surprised because they were in my English class and they heard what I said to Mr. Lancer. I saw Ms. Tetlaff's emotion change to anger as she charged at me. I smirked even wider to the point that it was just plain creepy. I always loved a challenge. I simply dodged her efforts each time. Smirking even more every time she missed and became more and more angry at me to the point that her hits were inaccurate and very sloppy. Sloppy enough that I was easily able to catch her hand and twist it behind her back. She yelped in surprise. This satisfied me somewhat. Some of the other Danny had rubbed off on me. No one had ever beaten her before. I was over a hundred times stronger than her. I was trained by the best. "Young man don't you think you've caused enough damage for one day?" I saw Mr. Lancer. He didn't come over to help Ms. Tetlaff free from my steel grip but he just stood there unsure of what to do. He was afraid of me and I knew it. I didn't give a damn.

They should be scared of what we can do.

No matter how much she struggled, my arms wouldn't budge. I hardly felt her moving much less struggling. I smirked again and let go causing her to fall to the ground. She was smart enough to back away from me completely. I looked at her with my eyes. They were still icy blue but they had the desired effect. She backed away to my amusement."Mr. Phantom, we would like to call your parents but, for some reason the names of the parents don't show up in the record book. Who is Jasmine and James Phantom and where are they?" I frowned in an way that showed that I was sad and I hoped they would pity me.

"They're dead." I said in almost whisper. I knew no Jasmine of James Phantom so I had nothing to grieve over.

All of them looked at me thinking they understand why I act like this. They're falling right into my hands.

How Pathetic. Why did you even let her go?

Cause if I didn't I would probably not end up in a good situation.

Agreed. But I still say you should have at least manipulated her head a bit. Making her delusional...

I don't want to be noticed. I will have to change their brains slightly so I won't get in trouble.

All of them...

With that he disappeared. I had been talking to him while the teachers walked me to the office. Thankfully there was no one there to see me duplicate myself except for the teachers. I then proceeded to erase their memories of this and change the event to make it look good. Ms Tetlaff would think that I was just joking with her and Mr. Lancer would... have thought so too. Thankfully that had been the last period of the day. Changing so much and so many people had worn me out more than it would have if I were in the ghost zone however, at the moment I had no transportation to the ghost zone of my time line and no one would help me. Clockwork couldn't 'interfere'. That and I could sense that something was wrong here. I couldn't place it but there was something... I can't even describe it. So I would have to put up with this timeline until I could find out what was wrong and fix it. I had changed back into my other outfit when I felt someone watching me. I turned around and saw a little girl but not just ANY little girl. "Boxlunch".

My eyes widened as I said her name. She recognized me and flew over to me and squeezed me. She was crying. "I want mommy and daddy!" She said crying.

I held her close to me. I was Boxlunch's godfather. What was she doing here. "Angel, you have to tell me what happened if you want me to help you." I told her in the sweetest voice I could. I was kneeling right in front of her now. She was clutching a piece of paper in her hand. She refused to talk but she handed him the paper in her hand. It took a little coaxing but I was able to pry it from her little fingers. It was stained green with... blood. I opened the crumpled piece of paper. My blood ran cold. This can't be happening. No. No. I kept repeating it in my head. No no no no no no. My hands were now clutching the paper and then suddenly I changed into my Phantom form, one I hadn't changed into for years, grabbed boxlunch and flew as fast as I could like all hell had broke loose and apparently it had for on that paper that was now floating innocently to the ground, was a crown drawn with blood. But not just any crown.

The Crown of Fire.

And now the adventure truly begins.

So...? How was it? This is the first time I have typed up a Danny Phantom fic so don't criticize me! When I write it on paper and type it they somehow come out completely different! It just flows. :)

Tell me. Who wears the Crown of Fire?

awwwwwww Danny is so nice to little Boxlunch. :)

Please review!
