The normal stuff

Dani's POV:
"Urrrrrr..." I groaned, as I slowly opened my eyes, revealing white walls, and people in white coats rushing around me. Oh sh... The GiW found me... Wait a minute...
I could hear their frenzied voices around me, obviously they cared about me. Okay, NOT the GiW then... Where the hell am I then?
"Where am I?" I questioned in a whisper. "What happened?" All sound, apart from the life monitors, stopped as the people stopped and stared at me for a good five minutes. I instantly panicked.
"What?! Why're you staring at me like that?! Where the hell am I!?" I shouted, panic evident in my voice. I tried to sit up, but for some reason I was held down by restraints. I began to struggle against them, with most of my strength (I do have superhuman strength thanks to my ghost half you know?). I glared at them. "And why the hell do I have restraints?!"
"H-h-h-how?!" One of the men stuttered, staring at me while pointing a shaking finger. "Y-your pulse! Its too low for you to even be conscious!"
I felt my eyes widen at the little nugget of information. Oh damn, now they know I'm not normal! Think Dani, THINK! What to say, what to say! Ummmmmm...
"Wh-wh-wha? How?! But, but, how?" Wow, I'm really good at acting. One of the women in the room gave the man a sour look and she comfortingly placed a hand on my shoulder.
"Listen, Danielle," I looked at her in shock when she said my full name. No-one says my full name apart from the fruitloop and the wannabes working with him. "you're in the hospital. Your foster parents and some friends of yours are waiting outside, so that's how we know your name. Do you remember anything that happened yesterday?"
I furrowed my eyebrows as I tried to think back. "Urrrrr, I remember beating Dash at Doomed, then going to the mall with Mum and Dad."
My head started to hurt with thinking too much, but I still continued to think back."And then... that guy in yellow and orange. He wanted to do something bad, and the superheroes here hadn't turned up yet. So I decided to stall him by doing what I do best." I smirked then and I looked at the woman again.
"Which is...?" she prodded.
I smiled. "By annoying him of course! For some reason, I'm really good at annoying bad guys, and im also good at, well, not dying."
Everyone had a smile then. "Where's my Mom and Dad? Can I see them?"
"Sure." One of them said, and walked out. I leaned back into the gurney, thinking. What the hell was that feeling in my heart after I was electrocuted? Could something have happened to my ghost core? Or has my ghost form died or something? I quickly sensed inside of me. I could still feel my ghost core, but it felt different somehow. Okay, I'm still half-ghost, but why and how is my core different? Has my ghost form changed? Or have I got another power? If I have, it probably has something to do with electricity, considering electricity had something to do with the change. And what the hell did that doctor mean by friends? I've only been here a day!
I was shook out of my thoughts when the door opened again. Okay, time to who these friends are.
LINE BREAK
Well damn, they know I'm different now. Stupid hospitals. As soon as Mom, Dad, and the Parrs (apparently that's what the doctor meant as friends) walked in, they immediately heard my heart beat on the monitor thing. They obviously panicked. It took about twenty minutes to calm them down and say that my heart beat is normally like that, and that I have no idea why my heart was like that (which was a lie, I know why, I'm half-dead, that's fricking why). We talked for a while, before I realised something.
"Mom, do I still have to go to school tomorrow?" I swear all of time froze then at my question, then restarted then everyone within hearing distance began to laugh. I was so confused. "What?"
Mum just stared at me. "if you get discharged today, then yes." I nodded then. I understood that. To be honest, I can't wait! It'll be my first time in school. Hopefully, I'd get a good friend or two. I'm just glad Dash is in my grade, at least I know somebody there. I still complained about staying here though.
"But Mo-om, I'm fine! Look!" I exclaimed, proving my point by expertly twisting my hands out of the restraints, and untying the ones at my feet, then leaping off the gurney, ripping off the heart monitor thing and some tubes, and giving Mom and Dad a hug. I twirled in front of Mom and crossed my arms in front of her. "See?"
Everyone looked at me in astonishment. "What?" I asked.
"How exactly are you okay!?" Mrs. Parr asked. "You were shock by about a thousand volts of electricity!"
I simply replied saying "A thousand? I've had worse." After that, everyone was silent. "What? I don't want any sympathy, I've dealt with it and I've accepted it. Nothing can change it, so..."
"It's okay." Mum said, standing up. "We're just getting used to a new family member. Helen, Bob, Lucius, lets go see if we can get Dani discharged."
They quickly nodded, glancing at Dash. Wha? Violet then intervened, giving a sly smirk to Dash. "Actually, I'll go with you too."
I raised my eyebrow at them. I walked over to Dash, confusion no doubt evident on my face, while he had disbelief and anger on his. I nudged him and asked "What's going on?".
"Huh? Oh, I, urrr, I have no idea, no idea at all." he replied, a light blush on his face. Why is he blushing? I giggled at his face. He smiled. Ahhhh, he can look really cute at times. Wait, cute? Damn, I have a crush on him. Why didn't I notice before?! Stupid Danny cluelessness genetics. AND I bet he doesn't feel the same way... Sigh.
"Okay." I replied as I sat back down on the gurney, while he sat on one of the chairs near me.
We made idle chatter, waiting for the awkwardness to pass, which was actually enjoyable, since I do have a crush on him... God damn it, help me... But then he asked me about my parents... and I had no idea why, but I blurted out most of the truth...
(A.N. I had NO idea how to format this bit, so it's like a script, don't like it, deal with it.)
~~~~~~~~Dani/DashConvo~~~~~~~~
Dash – Who's your parents, your family?
Dani – I don't have a mum, and my Dad, or the fruitloop, was...abusive...
Dash – (shocked) Wait, WHAT!? How, why?!
Dani – I already told you, he thought I was an imperfection, a mistake, because I was a girl. As for how... lets just say I've had to undergo much worse amounts of electricity than yesterday.
*Silence*
Dani – My family don't know I even exist thanks to that fruitloop. He managed to eradicate all traces of my existence. If you search my name, you wouldn't find it anywhere. The only person who knows about me is my cousin, and I can't really go to him. That's the first place that Dad will look for me.
Dash – I-I, Oh my God... I'm so sorry...
Dani – (smiles) It's okay. If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have run away, and I wouldn't have met any of you. So, I'm glad for him, because if I didn't have such a bad life before, I wouldn't have this amazing life I have now.
Dash – Did you know that he sent that villain to get you? Electus, I think.
Dani – (laughs) I wouldn't put it pass him. Now that he failed to get me, we'll probably send someone else. Most likely a ghost. And before you ask, ghosts do exist, I should know about their existence the most.
Dash – I believe you... and I won't let him get to you, I swear it.
Dani – (smiles and hugs Dash, while blushing) Thanks Dash. You have no idea how much that means to me. And if one of his pawns get to me, I'm not going down without a fight.
Dash – (smirks, blushes) Errrrr, good. Good.
Dash – D-Dani? How worse were you talking about? With the electricity?
Dani – (looking Dash in the eye) About 500,000 volts (A.N. Don't know the proper voltage, and lets just say Dani's ghost half makes her more resilient to electricity)
Dash – Holy... How are you even...?
Dani – Alive? God knows. But I'm glad I am though, since I would of met Mom, or Dad, or you...
Dash – (Smiling, blushing) Really?
Dani – (blushing) Yeah...
*Comfortable silence*
Dash – Dani, who is your father?
Dani – (looking away, breathing deeply) His name is Vlad Masters.
~~~~~~~~EndOfDani/DashConvo~~~~~~~~
I couldn't help but smile after that conversation with Dash, even if I told him about Vlad.
He cares. He actually cares... Does he like me then? Can he like me?
My inner musings were cut short when I felt electricity running down my spine. That must be what happened... My ghost core changed from an ice core to an electric core... Wait how is that even possible? Add that to the mental list I have to ask Clockwork about.
"Dani, what's wrong?" Dash asked, placing a hand on my shoulder.
"I have a feeling Dad sent a ghost, and said ghost has just arrived." I answered, beginning to walk towards the door, eyes darting all around the room.
"What? How?" Dash asked, rushing next to me.
"Call it a spidey sense of a sort..." I started. "I get aler-"
Then the wall in front of me exploded and I was trapped in a glowing net. "HEY!" I exclaimed, tugging at the ropes. "What gives!?"
"DANI!"
Dash's POV
I was waiting for Dani to calm everyone down after they worried about her blood pressure and other stuff... I was worried, but she looked absolutely fine for crying out loud! But I was shocked when she said that she's had worse. Bloody hell, what has she been through?
However, when everyone left me and Dani alone, I knew they caught onto my crush on her, I had been acting differently around her... After our conversation (See Dani/DashConvo above), I knew she liked me aswell. I was about to confess that I have a crush on her when she suddenly stiffened.
"Dani, what's wrong?" I asked, concerned.
"I have a feeling Dad sent a ghost, and said ghost has just arrived." she answered me, beginning to walk towards the door, her beautiful blue eyes darting all around the room.
"What? How?" I exclaimed, rushing next to her.
"Call it a spidey sense of a sort..." she began. "I get aler-"
Then the wall in front of her exploded and I heard her exclamation of surprise as she was trapped in a very weird-looking net.
"DANI!" I screamed, running at a supernatural speed towards her. I skid on my knees next to her, untying the net holding her down. She looked confused. "What? How did you..." She trailed off when a being with electric green eyes and hair came to view. His body looked like it was made out of pure mechanics, and he glowed with malevolence (please don't ask how I know that word, I don't even know). Apparently Dani knew him, as she literally growled. "Skulker... This is the twenty-fourth time I've run into you... Why are you here, under to fruitloops command, or simply because you're hunting me?"
"Whelpette, this time Masters asked me to hunt you. I will take great pleasure hanging your pelt on my wall."
I suppressed a grimace at that description. I looked at Dani. "Do I even want to know?"
She looked at me with a small smile. "What's the point? You'll find out in about ten seconds."
I looked back at the man as he continued. "And I will catch you, for I am Skulker! The Ghost Zone's Greatest Hunter!" Ah, so that's who he is.
"Self-proclaimed greatest hunter, Skulker." came Dani's retort. "You can't even catch me! And I'm twelve."
I chuckled at that. It did seem very demeaning... (Another word I have no idea how I know)
"Shut it Ghost Child. I will catch you this time!" Ghost Child?
"I don't think so." she replied, as she struggled against the net, which I just managed to undo. She shrugged the ropes off her, giving me a grateful smile. I smiled back. I then asked her, "Well, how do you deal with this guy?"
She looked at me and asked for the time. Confused, I looked at my watch and said "It's 3:45."
"We need to keep him busy for 15 minutes." she said.
"What happened in 15 minutes?" I asked.
"You'll see." She cryptically answered.
We both ran forward (me at normal speed) and picked some debris up. We then separated and threw the rocks at him. It worked until he glowed blue and the rocks passed right through him. Dani then ran to me and grabbed my arm, pulling me away from him. We both then ran into an abandoned corridor. It seemed the entire hospital had been evacuated when the wall exploded. She paused to catch her breath. I heard her mumble under her breath. "If only we had some ecto-weapons..."
"What are ecto-weapons?" I asked. She told me they're weapons that can hurt ghosts even if they're intangible, which was what that blue glow meant. I nodded at that, but froze when Dan spoke. "How did you run so fast?"
"Wh-What do you mean?" I stuttered. She sighed. "It's your secret thing isn't it?" I nodded. "Then I can't pry... Damn it."
I was about to laugh when the corridor began to quake. "Oh no..." I whispered. The building was going to come down on us, and even I'm not fast enough to get us both out. I decided to confess right then if I was going to die. "Dani, I have something to tell you and I completely understand if you don't feel the same way." I looked at her confused and panicked face. A small smile tugged my lips as I saw her face. "Dani, I've had a crush on you ever since I saw you, but I had no idea till now." Then the ceiling came down... then a bright flash of light came from Dani's direction and a weird tingly feeling came over me as I was lifted off my feet.
"Wha?..." I looked all around me. What happened? I heard a small, echo-y and familiar giggle come from above me. I looked up at neon-green eyes and white hair. "Dani?"
She nodded. "H-How?" I asked when I saw Skulker again. I knew she saw him as well when she said "I'll answer any question you have in a minute." She set me on the ground when her hands began to glow, one with yellow energy, the other with green. "Why don't you get LOST!" she screamed as she thrust her her hands in front of her. A green and yellow beam of energy hit the ghost dead on and he flew off with his suit sparking dangerously. I set down next to me and two light blue rings appeared around her waist and split, one going up, one going down, transforming her into the Dani with black hair and blue eyes.
She sauntered up to me before quickly giving me a small peck on the cheek, before we both blushed furiously. "By the way, I have a crush on you too." she timidly informed me. I smiled like a goof when I heard that. She like me. She likes me. I can't believe she actually likes me... I repeated in my head. But my smile faded when hers was replaced with a look of horror as she looked behind me. Confused, I turned around before blood drained from my face and my eyes widened.
I sheepishly said "Hi, Mom...Dad...Sis..." while she timidly said as well "Hi Mom... Hi Dad..."
Well THAT was eventful... Anyway, Next Chapter: Secrets are Revealed and Dani goes to school!
Thanks to everyone for waiting patiently. I've been doing this chapter bit by bit over the days. And awwwww, doesn't Dani and Dash look so cute!
P.S. That yellow energy was Dani's electric powers. i decided that each half ghost has a special ability or two that only they can do. For Danny, its his ice powers and his ghostly wail. For Dani, its her electric powers and something else (ideas welcome), and for the fruitloop, its fire powers and something else (ideas welcome)
See you next chap!
