- My Father's Daughter -
-Chapter three-
Alex sits in the cafeteria of Jasper High reading one of the ghost books from the school library, reading up on certain ghost's.
A boy with his lunch tray walk's over sitting down at Alex's table, noticing her ghost book.
"Your new here aren't you?"
Alex look's from her book to the guy examining his appearance, black clothes, dirty blonde hair, and nice features. She shrugs watching the guy,
"Well my name is Will Baxter. Nice to meet you…"
He trails off his word's waiting for her name when Alex smiles a fake smile,
"Alex Fenton."
He smiles back holding out his hand and she gives his hand a quick shake, letting go quickly.
"Actually I'm not exactly new; my parents grew up and went to this school."
He nods,
"Mine too well what were your parent's names I might know who they are."
"Well my Dad's name was Danny Fenton and Mom's name was Manson, Sam Manson."
He smiles then frowns,
"I'm sorry about your Dad. My Dad Dash used to be in classes with him, I guess I was three when your Dad was killed. I'm still sorry."
She nods sadly,
"Do you know what happened?"
He shrugs,
"Local paper said he was thrown through a wall. Also said that he got his skull crushed on impact, your Mom was there too to try and stop the killer I guess."
Alex looked at him sadly,
"Did the papers say who the killer was?"
He shook his head,
"No sorry. But I did figure something out though which does in fact include you."
She look's at him oddly,
"Which would be…?"
"Well people saw Danny Phantom in there but the only people in there was your Mom, Dad, and the killer. So I figured it made sense, your Dad's Danny Phantom, right?"
She still look's at him oddly like someone looking at a insane person, thinking to herself: great he knows!
She keeps on a straight face looking at him,
"I don't really know what you're talking about and I've never really heard of this Danny Phantom guy, you must be insane to believe in urban legends like that."
He smiles hearing the tone in her voice,
"I'll take that as a yes. I mean he is pretty much a Hero in this town."
Alex stifles a smile getting up from her seat grabbing her book,
"It was nice to meet you Will but I need to get going."
Just when she's about to walk away, Will gets up quickly grabbing onto her arm gently.
She look's at him oddly trying to pull away but cant since he has a good grip,
"Look Alex…If it is true you can trust me I would never say a thing, scout's honor. I mean come on! He's dead now! I don't think anyone would care about knowing who his son or daughter is!"
Alex glares daggers at him, feeling a weird emotion take over. Her eyes start glowing bright green still glaring at Will for what he said about Danny, and she knee's him in the gut knocking the wind out of him and knocking him to the ground in pain.
He holds his stomach lying on his side on the ground looking up at Alex starring into her eerie green glowing eyes, figuring she takes after her Father.
"Don't you ever dare say anything like that about my Dad ever again, got it?"
He nods closing his eyes from the pain as she walks away, her eyes returning to normal crystal blue.
A few hours later after school when Alex is walking on the sidewalk to walk home, Will catches up to her; walking beside her. He still holds his stomach with one hand still sore from being kneed there,
"Wow I never thought he could have a daughter that has his powers too."
She sighs getting aggravated,
"What are you a reporter?"
Will smiles mischievously,
"Actually I am. For the school news letter, been studying on records of Danny Phantom; trying to figure out who he was. Pretty suspicious to just up and disappear like he did, right around the time your Dad died."
She stops walking and looks him dead in the eyes,
"Look here. I don't know why that Danny Phantom guy disappeared, and I don't care; just leave my Dad out of this ok? And leave me alone."
He still follows her when she starts walking again,
"Give it up Fenton! I know already so you can just drop the act, Alex. I'm not trying to pry into your life or anything I just want to help you."
Alex just looks at him then ahead up the sidewalk,
"How can you help? I don't even understand it, one day I'm an ordinary girl and the next I'm the daughter of a super hero or whatever! It's just all confusing to me."
He grins,
"You'll figure it out. I know Danny did so you will too somehow."
She smiles at him, stopping.
"So your serious you won't tell anyone and try to help me?"
He nods,
"You bet. Always wanted to help; others."
She smiles starting to walk again, Will following beside her walking her home. He walks her to the door,
"You can come in too Will if you like."
He shrugs following her in being greeted by Sam,
"Hey Alex; who's your friend?"
Alex half smiles when he introduces himself,
"I'm Will Baxter you must be Mrs. Fenton."
She nods smiling then look's at him a little better seeing he looks familiar,
"Did you say Baxter?"
He nods,
"Yeah; Dash's son. You probably know of him."
Sam smirks,
"Know him? Ha! He was a brainless idiot, no offense Will."
He shakes his head,
"None taken. And yeah he's pretty much like that now, he'd probably lose his head if my Mom; Paulina didn't keep him in line."
She sighs,
"Paulina's your mother? I feel sorry for you dear honest."
Will nods,
"Feel sorry myself."
Alex breaks up the conversation from boredom,
"Um Mom we'll be in the basement."
"Ok dinner will be ready at 7:00."
Alex nods walking to the basement, Will not far behind. They both walk down the stairs getting to the old run down ghost portal,
"So this is the ghost portal people talked about?"
Alex nods turning on the lights,
"Yeah all this; my grandparents made."
He nods looking around,
"Very cool."
Suddenly out of nowhere Danny appears behind Alex not noticing the boy in the room yet, he taps her shoulder. She let's out a scream turning around and smiles seeing Danny, hugging him. Will jumps from the scream, seeing a transparent Danny Fenton in the room. Will stares at him wondering who he is, when Danny finally lays eyes on Will.
"Alex…who's that boy and what is he doing here?"
"Oh his names Will Baxter, he figured you out Dad."
Alex giggles at Danny's surprised expression when Will turns deathly pale from fright knowing who he is now. Will backs up from Alex and Danny, Danny looking at him strangely. Alex look's at him,
"Will are you ok?"
He shakes his head starring at Danny wide eyed,
"Oh Will this is Danny Fenton; my Dad."
"Yeah I figured that out!"
"Calm down Will, I wont hurt you."
Danny smiles reassuringly at Will, Will lightening up a bit.
"Ok…So who killed you Mr. Fenton?"
Danny looks from Will to Alex,
"Is he always so bold?"
Alex shrugs,
"Beat's me. Only known him for a few hours."
Danny nods,
"Well Alex…Time to see if you really do have powers…Ready for it?"
Alex nods eagerly as Will takes a seat near the ghost portal,
"Yeah I'll just be over here observing."
They both nod at Will and Alex looks at Danny,
"So what first?"
Danny crosses his arms,
"Well we need to see if you can go ghost like I can, like this."
Two white rings appear on Danny, turning him into his ghost self; Alex watching with aw.
"Wow…Well how do I do it?"
"Just close your eyes and concentrate."
Alex nods closing her eyes to concentrate, when she does she feel's her skin starting to tingle a little, streaks of white start to appear in her hair but not all of it turn's white, her clothes changing black except the collar of her shirt turning white. She opens her eyes as they turn bright green, looking at both Danny and Will.
"Did it work?"
Danny chuckles to himself smiling proudly at Alex,
"Look down at yourself and see."
Alex looks herself over, a wide smile on her face.
"I did it!"
She giggles starting to float,
"Whoa! What's happening?"
"Your floating it's completely normal for us."
She nods floating back down to the ground,
"Any other powers we're going to work on?"
He nods,
"Turning invisible, throwing energy blasts, and multiplying yourself. I mean if you have those powers you might have some different."
Will just watches them in aw,
"I am defiantly going to like being the friend of a ghost girl."
Alex smiles wide looking at Will,
"you better believe it."
