Sorry for the long wait. I've got the next chapter finished as well. I'll post it when this story gets at least 10 reviews or in a week, whichever comes first.

"Take a look at this Danny." Jack held up a large ghost hunting weapon. "I've read a lot about this. Vlad had this designed to specifically hunt down Phantom. It has a powerful ecto-blaster, an auto-aimer and-"

"Yeah, that's great." Danny interrupted. He was starting to become nervous. A good amount of the weapons at the convention were made by Vlad. Danny suspected that Vlad was planning something.

Jack looked at his son disappointingly. Ever since they got to the convention Danny had been complaining. "Come on Danny. How can none of this impress you?"

"It's not that it doesn't impress me. It just…scares me."

Jack stood there befuddled. "Ghost hunting technology scares you? I figure it would scare a ghost, but why you?"

"Because it's dangerous! Mom said so herself, these weapons can hurt humans too. What if there was a miscalculation when they were made and they end up affecting humans instead of ghosts?"

Jack didn't know how to respond. He knew Danny was right. (Since when did he get so smart? I thought he was a C student!) "You're right, they are dangerous, but Amity Park would be gone without this technology."

Danny sighed. He had gotten his father to partially see his concerns, but he couldn't do anything more without revealing that he was Danny Phantom.

"The tournament's starting soon. We should go." His father spoke sadly. (So Danny's worried that we might hurt him. I don't blame him. He got hurt in the with the ghost portal and I almost blasted him today…)

(Ugh…why…am I…in so much pain? What…did he do to me?) Jazz was conscious, but she was in too much pain to even try to get up. She lay still on the ground for several minutes. She found her strength slowly coming back to her. (Let's see…I was watching TV, then I went upstairs. Skulker attacked me, I fought back. He hit my with an ecto-blast that knocked me out. I remember screaming then seeing Skulker fly out of the lab. Why was he leaving me?)

With incredible difficulty Jazz managed to stand up. The entire lab was spinning. She felt like she was going to pass out. Jazz was surprised at how well she was doing since she felt awful. Slowly she made her way up the stairs and onto the couch. (I hope Skulker doesn't come back. He won't have any trouble catching me right now…) Jazz closed her eyes and fell asleep. She woke up an hour before Danny and her parents were supposed to come back.

Surprisingly Jazz felt perfectly fine. It was as if nothing had happened to her. She looked at her hands. What she saw made her gasp. It wasn't the fact that it was completely healed that surprised her. It was that her hand was glowing in the same aura that ghosts have. Panicked, Jazz ran to the bathroom mirror.

Jazz looked much different than she did before. Her hair was now blue. It was neither dark nor light, but somewhere in the middle. Her headband and pants became a pinkish red. Her shirt was inverted from black to white and her eyes were green. They weren't quite as bright as Danny's eyes though.

"Oh…my…AHHHH!!!" Jazz screamed so loud that it would have caused chaos in the house if her family was home. "I'm a ghost?" Jazz began wondering if Skulker had finished her. That was a very believable theory of how she became a ghost. (What am I going to do? Mom and dad are going to hunt me down and tear me apart "molecule by molecule!" I gotta tell Danny!) Jazz walked to the living roomed then dialled Danny's cell phone number.

"Come on pick up!" After letting it ring for a minute she gave up. (So this is what Danny feels like? It's awful. I don't know how he can keep his secret with mom and dad hunting him all the time. They haven't even hunted me and I'm already freaked out!) Jazz sat back down on the couch thinking of what to do. She had quite a few options. First, tell her parents that she had become a ghost and hope that they'll accept her as a ghost. Second, run away from home. Jazz quickly pushed that idea away. She'd never run away unless she had to. Third, find some way to make her look like a human, so she could continue her life regularly. There were tons of ghosts that had pretended to be humans, like Spectra, so why couldn't she? Spectra had even managed to fool Danny with his ghost sense.

Fourth, tell only Danny. He's been able to solve almost anything. Maybe he'd find a way to turn her back into a human. Then again maybe being a ghost would be fun! Ghosts had a lot of powers that would make life so much better if they weren't abused so much. Jazz decided on option one. She would tell Danny and her parents once they came back. She knew Danny would understand and she had a feeling her parents would too.

(There's still some time until they come back. Maybe I should see what my new ghost body can do.) Jazz jumped up in the air…and then came crashing down, hitting her chest. "Ouch! Why didn't I fly!? Danny makes this look so easy. Okay…fly!" Jazz jumped in the air again, but fell again. "Maybe I should try something different. I could try an ecto-beam or-" Jazz cut herself off. She found herself falling through the floor and into the lab.

"Aaah! I…no way! I just went intangible!" Jazz was quite happy with herself. Even though it was an it was still a power that she had used. Jazz walked back upstairs to test out what else she could do. (Maybe invisibility will be easy. It is a basic ghost skill after all.) She focused her energy into the ability. Her entire body disappeared. "I…did…it!" Using so much of her ghost energy had made her tired. "Danny can do that in a blink of an eye. I guess using ghost powers become easier the more you use them."

The next thing Jazz wanted to do was to go intangible purposely. Again she focused and managed to go intangible. Just to make sure she was intangible she put her hand through a wall. Jazz was starting to forget about how worried she was. "This is amazing! Being a ghost is so cool! I could do this all-" Jazz's stomach suddenly growled. (I haven't eaten since breakfast and it's almost bedtime!) Jazz went into the kitchen to prepare dinner for herself. After eating she went in the living room to continue seeing what she could do. She didn't get to do anything though because she heard the sound of the RV approaching.

The worry she felt before came back to her. (I really wish I could just turn back into a human right now!) The door handle jiggled then the door flew open. Jazz closed her eyes preparing for whatever her parents were going to say to her.

"Hi Jazz, did you miss us?" Jack asked looking at her happily.

"Uh, I sure did." Jazz answered. (Doesn't he notice anything different about me? I know he's not very smart, but how can he miss this!?)

"We got first place in the tournament!" Maddie told her. She was carrying a big golden trophy. "It's all thanks to your father."

Jazz laughed then stopped when she noticed the seriousness on her mom's face. "You're serious?" (I missed a lot. Dad's not usually good at ghost hunting.) "Anyways, don't you have something to say about the way I look?"

"Huh?" Danny questioned. "You look the same as always."

"Same…as always?" Jazz ran to the mirror again. "I do look the same!"

"Mom, I think she's finally lost it."

"Maybe she's just tired." Maddie guessed. "It is getting kind of late. Bedtime you two."

Jazz got out of the bathroom and approached Danny. (Should I tell him or not? He didn't tell me. I guess I'll tell him some of it for now. Maybe I'll tell him more at a better time.) Jazz whispered in Danny's ear. "Meet me in my room. Something happened today." Danny nodded. Maddie wondered what they were up to, but she let it go because she was tired. Jazz went straight to her room. She laid down on her bed thinking.

(So I'm a half-ghost too. I wish I knew what happened to me. I barely remember anything. I don't think Skulker would purposely make me a half-ghost. Maybe it was an when he was trying to take me back to his lair. That's why I remember screaming! Why'd he run, well fly away though?) Jazz brushed these thoughts away when Danny came in.

"So, what do you want to talk about?" Danny asked. He looked very worried.

"Skulker came looking for you. When he couldn't find you he decided to take me as bait." The expression on Danny's face clearly showed he was shocked. His emotion quickly changed to angry.

"When I get my hands on him he's going to be sorry he ever messed with you!" Danny then stopped to think. Jazz was still here. Skulker doesn't usually give up. "How are you still here?"

"I fought back. I hit him hard with the Fenton Anti-Creep stick and I used the Fenton Peeler. After a while he knocked me out then just left." Technically that was the truth. She just left out the part that she didn't even know for sure.

"He just left?" Danny was surprised. This was not like the Skulker he knew. "Well, at least you're safe. He might try to kidnap you again, so don't let your guard down." Jazz nodded. She decided to change the subject.

"Hey Danny, what were the three easiest abilities for you to learn?" Jazz asked curiously.

"Intangibility, flying and invisibility in that order."

"Really? I find that flying is harder than invisibility." Danny gave her a confused look. "I mean I'd imagine that flying is harder. It looks like it would take so much concentration to learn how to fly properly."

"I suppose, but I learnt how to do basic flying pretty quickly. It did take longer to perfect flying than invisibility though. Um, why do you want to know this stuff?" If anyone else had asked him this other than her, Sam and Tucker he would have been suspicious.

"Oh, I was just curious about your powers. So…how was that tournament?"

"It was pretty good actually. I was scared when I saw that a lot of the weapons at the convention were made by Vlad. I thought he was up to something. He was."

"He didn't hurt you right?"

"No, he never had the chance. While we were fighting mom and dad came. I shifted back to my human form then I faked being injured. Mom and dad were so angry with 'the Wisconsin Ghost'. Mom hit at him with all the weapons she had and dad pummelled him with the Fenton Gloves. Vlad could barely get away from them. After that dad was serious for the rest of the tournament. That's the only time when dad is a good ghost hunter, when his family's in trouble. Honestly when that happens he becomes one of the best ghost hunters in Amity Park!"

"So, mom really was serious. I'm glad you're okay. I don't know how you manage to survive all this every day. I'm not sure if I can…I mean I'm not sure if I'd be able to." Luckily for her Danny didn't notice this mess up either. Jazz looked at her clock. "I've kept you up too long. You should head to bed. Goodnight."

"Goodnight Jazz." Jazz was once again alone.

(He doesn't need to know right now. He'd probably worry that I'd become a big target to ghosts. He's already stressed enough with homework, chores and ghost hunting. He doesn't need another thing to worry about. I'll tell him eventually.)
