Author notes: I really don't enjoy writing as a rule. Im writing this after reading all the reviews I've gotten. If you want more storie after this. I sugjuest you review. This is only a rough draft. I will probably rewrite this. But I was moved by all the reviews and wrote this for you.

First Sighting

Things had been quiet in Amity Park for almost three months now, with only the small fry ghosts attacking. The average person in Amity really didn't care for ghosts much and didn't pay near enough attention to them as facts would have it. Most couldn't tell a powerful ghost from a weakling. They all brought about the same terror in the helpless mortals. So the normal townsfolk never really noticed that town had quieted down. At most they noticed the strange lack of property damage.

The Guys In White had their hands full with the large number of animal ghosts and other annoyances. While they did get a considerable confidence boost from the fact that they now won a battle occasionally, they had slowly begun to notice the lack of high power entities. Somewhere in the back offices of their government building somebody probably made a big deal about it. But the strangely named field agents simply reported that it was their sudden increase in skill that made this difference. So not even the GIW really noticed the change.

In fact, the only person in town that actually both noticed and cared about it was one Valerie Gray. Valerie hadn't been very active in the battle against ghosts in the last year. She had finally come to the realization that Danny Phantom wasn't out to hurt the people of the town. She hadn't begun to think of him as good, she had just decided that his obsession didn't call for him to hurt people. And since she could no longer hold up against him in a fight, Valerie simply stopped hunting him. It had been over a year since she had used her ghost fighting suit for anything more that the occasional leisurely flight around town. With Phantom defeating ghost so quickly this last year The Red Huntress never did much but watch. But she kept up with any news about ghosts that she could, and she defiantly noticed this.

Phantom hadn't been seen almost three months. Nobody knew why. At least not anybody that cared to fill anybody else in. The Fenton's had no comment on the subject, the GIW simply assumed he was now too scared of them to show his face, and Valerie thought maybe he was fighting ghosts in the ghost zone now that there were only smallfrys in Amity. So nobody could really explain it but, Danny Phantom was nowhere to be found. That is, until today.

Phantom woke up. That is the only way to describe it. He simply woke up. Never before had a ghost been born in this way. Some ghosts have memories of when they were alive and some have only their base instincts and obsessions. But never had a ghost formed with his own mind already been in existence before death. In truth a ghost is a new being from a living thing. The act of dying changes any person and should they form a ghost it will almost always be an entirely new person. They might have their old memories. But their personality usually takes some serious hits from the change. Many times becoming angry and aggressive. But phantom was different. It wasn't his memories from life that filled his head. His own memories were there. But they were broken and made no sense. Phantoms mind was broken and scattered. He knew he had existed before this but his memories were all clips and fragments. Most were of fights. Fight after fight. This made sense to Phantom. He was a fighter, He would protect his town, It was who he was. But there was also other things. Rushed flights to the school, Pranks, memories of simply flying around because he could. These made no sense to the new Phantom.

So he threw them aside. Phantom squashed his memories that he didn't understand. He stepped into existence as a fighter and nothing else. Phantom was then seen for the first time in three months as he simply came in to existence over Amity Park. As he looked over the town from above as he stood on nothing, floating in standing position perfectly still. This was his. All of this was his and he would never allow another ghost into it. If they come, Phantom would destroy them.
