Chapter 3
Eve woke up in one of the extra rooms of her Grandparent's house. Huh? Eve lifted her blanket and saw that that dream last night had affected her. Great, now I gotta wrap another fundoshi, and wash this one later today, she thought. Erotic Dreams were nothing new to her, but as she recalled the one she had last night she slapped herself in the head. I can't believe I dreamed about Sophie…again. She had had a crush on Sophie Campbell since she realized she was a lesbian, but she had to deny it. Sophie was straight, Eve knew because she had only seen her date boys. Thoughts about Sophie came unbidden to her mind, Sophie's shoulder length brunette hair; those big green eyes behind cute little glasses, her well toned legs…STOP IT! Eve punched herself in the forehead to get those images out of her head.
Eve got up and started exercising, it was 5 in the morning; she had time. She started with 150 sit ups, crunches, and leg lifts, followed by calf raises and squats. She finished exercising in her room with 170 diamond pushups. Eve saw that there was an exercise pole and started doing chin-ups. After about 100 of them she stopped and headed into the shower after getting her bath robe. After the shower Eve went to her suitcase and checked out her clothes. She had her Edward Elric costume, Alucard costume, and a pair of jeans and a red shirt. Eve thought about it as she bound her breasts into her sarashi and folded up a fresh fundoshi. With her undergarments on she finally settled on her Edward Elric costume.
Eve couldn't help but smile when she was fully dressed; reveling in the little clinks of the metal arm she wore over her real arm. I can't wait to punch a ghost with this thing, she thought as she flexed her gauntleted and gloved fingers. Eve came out of the guest room after making the bed and heard her Grandparents panting in their training room. Eve went in and saw them running in the treadmill. Much to Eve's utter embarrassment, her grandparents were in great shape, magazine's rated them #4 in the 'Hottest 60 couples over 60.' 5'9" tall, her Grandma Sam's face wasn't too wrinkled; she credited it to clean living and her vegetarian diet, though her dirty blonde hair was graying now. Eve hardly recognized the old pictures of her that showed her with dyed black hair.
Grandpa Danny was even more different from those old pictures. The small skinny teenager was now 6'2" and 213 pounds of heroic build. He was skinnier than his hey-day when he was 245 pounds of muscle. He started focusing more on cardio after his retirement, he lost a lot of muscle, but he could still kick butt when needed. Danny was a little more wrinkled than Sam, but most of those were covered by the beard he had grown in October. His once black hair was now silver, only two shades darker than his pure white hair when he turned into Danny Phantom: Earth's Greatest Hero.
Danny and Sam stopped the treadmill and Sam said, "Hey, Eve, you feel like pancakes today?" "With blueberries?" she asked, "And sausage patties," Danny said. Eve just stopped herself from drooling as she said, "Alright!" She went to the living room and waited for her grandparents to get ready and make breakfast. As she waited she got her phone out and started reading one of the manga series on it, Peach Amazons. Despite the title, it was awesome, about a post apocalyptic Amazon couple, Julia and Suzu, walking the Earth, gathering survivors to try to rebuild civilization. Eve was getting real turned on by the private moment she was reading between Julia and Suzu when she heard Ivan approaching and stopped reading, turning her phone off.
Ivan was dressed in black jeans, a red shirt with a black Danny Phantom symbol, and a black leather coat with the ferret mascot for 'Wild Rides' motorcycle shop on the back. Eve face palmed, her brother already had sponsors and got paid just to be a hero and wear stuff promoting them. Selma soon followed in a long sleeved green shirt and jeans. "Are you okay, Selma?" Her cut was healed, and her cheek was lightly bruised, same with her nose. "Yeah," she mumbled. Selma hated wearing pants, but skirts just weren't practical right now, it was too cold. "No nightmares?" Selma shook her head and sat on the couch next to Eve and turned on the TV, "On, channel 27." The TV turned on to the Animal Channel; the program that was on was about puppies and taking care of them.
Selma looked intently at the TV, paying attention to everything. Selma wasn't a fighter; she wanted to be a veterinarian when she grew up. Greta sat on the couch playing a game on her phone and Ivan was reading a book, Badass. That was the actual title. James came down in jeans and a black shirt. Danny and Sam floated down after Danny phased Sam phased through the ceiling and got to work making breakfast. By the time they were done Greta made it down wearing a blue shirt, black jeans, and her blue winter coat. Fang, Ivan, James, Greta, and Selma chowed down on the sausage and pancakes, leaving two patties for Danny and none for Sam. After breakfast they quickly brushed their teeth and got in the RV.
He dropped Selma off first at her Elementary School, then Greta in Middle School. Last were James, Ivan, and Eve at old Casper High. Three generations of the Phantom clan, and it was still standing. Talk about sturdy. Eve, James, and Ivan headed for their different classes, Casper High had changed; it now covered four different buildings, one for each grade. Ivan headed for the Sophomore, James for the Freshman building, and Eve for the Junior. First class was English. Only good part was that she got the computer next to her pal Ralph O'Toole. Ralph was dressed as Father Alexander Anderson a vampire fighting priest from Hellsing, Alucard's sworn enemy, and looked pretty funny. Ralph was 5'5" and was pretty chubby with blonde hair and blue eyes. But Eve knew that that didn't mean anything.
Beneath the gut Ralph was solid muscle, a black belt in Judo, and one of the few humans she couldn't defeat in her Ghost Form. As they left together to head to their other classes Ralph said, "How's Selma, Fang-kun?" Fang-kun, that's what her nakama, her best friends, called her. "She didn't have any nightmares, and she's healing just fine, the bruises should be gone by tomorrow," Eve told him. "That's good. You think you'll be available after school? I got the latest Heroikku Tantei OVA," Ralph said, Heroikku Tantei was his favorite anime; it was overdramatic, loud, and easy to follow. So bad, it was good, and hilarious. "We'll see, Ralph-kun, we'll see," Eve told him as they separated, Ralph for Science, Eve for Math. "Tell Twig-san and Sophie-kun," Ralph said as he turned the corner.
Eve got to Math and sat next to her other pal, Jayson DeForest. He was the opposite of Ralph physically, 6'1" and rail thin, he was barely a healthy weight, and more often to be 5 pounds underweight than not with black hair and brown eyes. Jayson was also a shameless Casanova, last year she asked how many girls he slept with and she told him to stop after two minutes, he remembered all their names. But, Jayson was a gentleman, he only went that far if his date wanted to, and was devoted to them the whole time of their relationship, whether it lasted a year or an hour. Most of them lasted an hour.
Jayson had on a black suit with a blue shirt and was wearing a blonde wig. "Who are you supposed to be?" Eve asked him. "There was a series called One Piece; lasted for decades, about pirates. I'm the ships cook, Sanji," Jayson explained. "Okay, anyway, Ralph-kun wants you to know that we can come to his place, he got the new Heroikku Tantei OVA," Eve informed her friend. "Alright, even though that show is overrated, Teapot-chan's Mom makes some good treats. I'll be there," Jayson said as they got ready for class.
Eve's third lesson was Science; none of her nakama was there. Eve wrote her notes and paid attention. After Science was Lunch. Eve hurried down the hall and got her lunch, today it was green beans, a chicken sandwich, and some apple juice from the drink dispenser. She spotted Sophie and sat next to her. Sophie was wearing a green suit with white gloves and a tan overcoat was around her shoulders like a cape, as well as a long platinum blonde wig over her head. "Afternoon, Sir Integra," Eve greeted. Didn't think Ralph and Sophie would cosplay characters from the same anime today, I should have gone as Alucard then we'd match. Sophie looked up and down Eve's costume, "Aren't you a little tall to be Edward Elric?" Sophie had a point; she was closer to Edward Elric's height at 5'4" as opposed to Eve's 6'1".
"Ralph-kun's Father Anderson," she told her. Sophie laughed at that image and went back to eating her lunch, as did Eve. Ralph and Jayson soon joined the girls. "Teapot-chan, how are things looking up," Jayson greeted Ralph. "Just fine, Twig-san, I hope nothing's wrong with you?" Ralph retorted glancing downwards at Jayson's crotch. "I'm still functioning just fine, if that's what you mean," Jayson told him. Eve motioned for Sophie to come closer, Eve noticed her lips smelled like cherries before saying, "When do you think those two'll stop pretending and just make out already?" Sophie pretended to consider it before replying, "The same time Hell freezes over and ghosts stop attacking."
The two girls laughed at that then Eve realized how close they were before backing up. Eve's Ghost Sense went off just then and she jumped on the table. Green rings flew up and down her body, turning her blue eyes red, white skin green, teeth became fangs as her black boots, pants, and vest became white while her red coat and white gloves turned black. Eve didn't see any ghosts inside the cafeteria and phased out of it, soon spotting the ghosts. "You've gotta be shitting me," she said, it was a Cyclops riding on a 10 ft three eyed grey shark. "I am Foglar the Dreaded! I shall conquer all!" the Cyclops bellowed as ghost rays shot out of the shark's eyes.
Eve dodged it and an idea formed in her head. Focusing her ectoplasmic energy on the parts of her brain that controlled fast twitch muscle control, she suddenly disappeared before another ghost ray could hit. "HA! All who oppose me shall-" "Damarae!" Eve kicked 'Foglar the Dreaded' off his shark after appearing above him then turned her attention to the shark. Eve flew in front of it and kicked its nose to disorient it then grew the nails on her left hand to claws and opened up a Ghost Portal. "Come and get me, Fishy!" Eve taunted the shark. It flew right towards her, blasting ghost rays the whole time. Eve dodged them as fast she could before pulling off the same trick she did to kick Foglar.
The shark flew right into the portal, which Eve closed behind it. Eve looked down and saw that Foglar had fallen to Earth and was out cold. She flew down and made another portal into which she threw him in as well. After closing it Eve felt dizzy and sat down on the ground, turning Human as well now that the threat was gone. Sophie ran up to her and helped her up, "Are you alright Fang-kun?" Eve felt electricity running through her as she realized Sophie was holding her and helping her up. Eve got her feet under her and said, "I'm fine, Sophie-kun. I just tried a new technique, and it worked. I can do the flashstep now." Sophie looked at her and Eve smirked back before Sophie let her go and they went back inside the school for their final class together, Spanish.
