When I was watching an episode with the ghost catcher that looked like a dream catcher, I got weird out to see two different Dannys. I was silent for a moment with my jaw open. Finally, I burst into laughter. I had a thought about what happens if you meet your ghost self? That would be really freaky.

Thank you, Greater Lights, for checking this chappie. Now, on with the story.

Chapter 7: Welcome Sam Spectra

Sam walked down the white nothingness in confusion. Her dreams usually had a background with something in it. However, it was just white nothingness. She really didn't mind white, but it crept her out somehow. The white background was either 1) she was in another universe or 2) she was in her dreamland where voices come around.

"This. Sucks." Her voice echoed in the background.

Sam continued to walk down wherever her feet lead her. When she took another step, her eyes noticed purple water ridges on the floor of white like when a water drop hits the body of water. However, there was no sound. She took another step. Another shockwave occurred that made the floor slightly move. She kept walking down until her violet wave clashed against another However, it was continuous, and it was gold. Sam looked up and gasped at the sight.

There stood a white haired girl. She was almost the same figure and features as Sam, but the clothes were different and her lips were silver. Also, the girl was either sleeping or meditating. Sam couldn't believe it. Was that her ghost half? No, her ghost half would be evil and would be awake. However, this ghost didn't have an evil sense around her. Sam blinked and poked her half's cheek. No movement. She poked the forehead several times. Still, no movement. She snapped at the ignorance this girl was giving. Sam shook her half's shoulder and yelled without thinking.

"Wake up, dammit!"

Sam now realized her mistake and flung her hands away to herself. The ghost stirred at being awaken, and the silver lips turned gold and her eyes fluttered to show golden eyes. Sam was a little afraid what might this ghost do. When the white-haired girl got her sight focused, her eyes met with the amethyst ones in front of her.

"Whoa!" The girl jumped back and fell on her butt, emitting more ripples.

Sam blinked at the girl before her. Wasn't the girl supposed to be evil like Danny Phantom? Hell, she thought this place was another universe of something that she belonged to. However, she looked too…nice and shy for this place. Her looks might emit a scary face, but the personality was more of a caring person. Maybe, she was the opposite of Sam.

"Um…hi?" Sam waved. The girl shot up and brushed her skirt off.

"I-I'm sorry!" She apologized and squeaked. Oh yeah. Definitely opposite.

"Whoa, you don't have to apologize to me. You didn't do anything to make me angry." The girl blinked and smiled.

"Sorry." Sam slapped her forehead. God, this was so weird and starting to get annoying.

"Did I do something wrong?" The girl asked. Sam sighed and let her hand down to her side. "No, you didn't do something wrong." Sam sat down Indian style and the girl copied her. Sam stared at her other self. Was this what her ghost self was supposed to be like? Wasn't she supposed to be like the snobbish people like her great grandfather was like?

"Um…what's your name?" The girl asked. Sam could see the uncomfortable state the girl was in and the nervous voice.

"The name's Samantha Manson. Just call me Sam for short. What's yours?" Sam asked. The girl thought and pondered for a while.

"I… I don't know…sorry…I only remember today…" The girl's head tilted down with shame. Sam had pity for this girl. She couldn't remember anything. Sam thought about it for a while.

"How about I give you a name?" The girl's head snapped up and nodded. Sam rubbed her temples to come up with one…one with her first name on it.

Sam Spirit? Nah. Too energetic… Sam Haunt? Nope. Too weird…Sam Phantom? WHOA! DEFINITELY A NO, NO, NO! WHERE THE HELL DID THAT CAME FROM?

"I got it!" Sam snapped her fingers and pointed to the white haired girl. "You're name is going to be… Spectra! Sam Spectra!"

The girl blinked and let that name dig into her identity. She smiled and held out her hand. "Okay, nice to meet you, Sam Manson. I guess I am your ghost half, right?"

Sam Manson grinned and shook her hand with her ghost's. "Same here, Sam Spectra."

"Can…can I call you big sister?" Sam blinked at Spectra. That came out of nowhere. The white haired girl blushed badly and looked down with shame. "I mean, if it's alright with you."

Suddenly, Spectra felt a pat on her head and looked up to see a sisterly smile plastered on Sam's face.

"It's alright. I always wanted a little sister. Even though, it is strange to have one as a twin." Spectra tapped her chin.

"So…we speak at the same time to drive others insane?" They thought for a little while and then laughed, clutching their sides.

"Oh man. You are me in a strange way." Sam snickered.

Then, a flash came from the other side.

The woman with green bowled hair appeared with a bluish-green ripples following. Sam and Spectra jumped up and faced the mysterious woman. Sam's eyes went wide and let her jaw drop open with amazement and a little fear.

"You're…"

Spectra blinked and turned to her human self. "Who is she?" Sam spoke up to break her speechlessness.

"You're Spirit…" The woman blinked and smiled.

"I guess you heard about me." Spectra backed up as Sam pushed her other self behind her. Spectra noticed Sam's expression. She bit her lower lip, shook a little, and her eyes were blazing with caution, fear, and protectiveness. She looked like she was surprised and scared. Spectra could tell that the expression meant that she too had to be careful around the woman. The woman may look like an ordinary ghost that doesn't look like a threat, but somewhere in her meant that she was a hell of a lot powerful then she looked that could take down newbie ghosts like Spectra by one nanosecond.

"Sam? Who is that woman?" The ghost self asked.

"Spirit. She was the famous ghost protector in Amity Park with two other legendary ghosts twenty years ago. Her appearance was once a pre-teenager with mischievous eyes that she loved to annoy the other ghosts until exhaustion. She is also the strongest ghost and the first one to appear in Amity Park. I forgot the other two, but one was good enough to be defensive and the other to go in fast speed or stop time. Oh, Did I mention that she WAS the very number one enemy before Phantom? Now, she is a legendary number one ghost hero."

Sam backed up with Spectra like a big sister protecting her little sister from bullies.

"However, it is rumored that she appeared in people's dreams with a white background. It is either talking to them in a nice way or making their dreams a living nightmare. I never expected to meet her in THIS dream."

The woman walked toward the two girls with her hands behind her back. The two girls wanted to run, but they had to stay strong without losing their half. As Spirit got close to them, she pointed to the human Sam. Sam bit her lip and stared at the deathly blue eyes. Spirit placed her finger on Sam's forehead and spoke.

"Jeez, lighten up already, girls." The woman made a mischievous smile and poked her. Sam swatted the hand away and glared at the woman in front of her. Somehow, this woman reminded her of Ms. High when she first met her. The woman noticed the white haired girl behind Sam.

"Who are you? You seem… familiar." Spirit said.

"I'm… Sam Spectra." Spectra whispered. Spirit blinked a few times and panicked.

"OH MY GOD!" The two teens jumped three feet in the air and landed to see the woman panicking. They also sweat dropped and saw her pacing in circles.

"This is not good! Oh man…I'm totally screwed big time. It's too early. Crud, they are going to kill you sooner than I thought." The twins looked at each other and looked at her.

"What are you talking about?" Sam and Spectra said. Spirit stopped pacing and sighed. "Do you know about your ghost history?" Spectra looked at Sam, and Sam put her thumb and index finger about two inches, scowling.

"Only half. My grandmother said that she would tell me when I'm ready." Spirit shook her head and sighed.

"Well… I can't do anything about this until you know what is going on." Spectra was about to say something, only to get cut off by Sam.

"Well, I'm sorry that I don't know about the full history because it wasn't my damn fault that I was born this way!" Sam snapped at the woman. Spirit blinked and arched an eyebrow.

"Wait…say that again?" Sam growled in frustration and repeated.

"Well, I'm sorry that I don't know about the full history because it wasn't my damn fault that I was born this way! Happy?" She huffed and crossed her arms. Spirit sighed and shook her head again.

"Oh man…whatever happened to that headstrong mind of yours?"

"What's that supposed to mean?" Sam glared. Spirit's eyes glowed dark blue eyes right back.

"I mean that this is not like you. Not in my whole ghostly life. I've never heard of something like this being born as a different person crap. Jeez, you need to get this advice in your head. No matter what you are or who your parents are, you are still you. I have no idea who put this 'I don't belong here' crap in your mind of yours, but don't let this idea bug you in anyway."

Sam went speechless and tried to speak. Somehow, this Spirit person was somewhat similar to her martial arts teacher. Oh man, this was way too confusing.

Spectra noticed Sam's surprised expression and looked at the Spirit person. Her eyes widened as something made her head explode.

"AAAHHHHH!" Spectra screamed as she clutched her head and knelt down. Sam snapped out of her surprised state and turned her head to the girl behind her.

"Spectra!" Sam turned around and held her shoulders. Sam caught what Spectra said even though she was in pain. However, the words gave her a shock that made her eyes widened.

"…Teacher…Spirit…"

Sam's face softened and let her hair bangs cover her eyes. "Spirit."

"Hmm?"

"Who are you, really? How could Spectra not have any fragment of her memory of her own, but she recognize you?" Sam turned her head toward Spirit, and her eyes darkened. The woman gave her a blank face and turned around to walk away.

"Get back here." She growled.

"At the right time, you and she will understand." Spirit waved. Spectra panted and looked up. She only saw Spirit walking away into the nothingness.

"Oh, by the way, I hope you get well soon!" Spirit sang as she disappeared and the bluish-green ripples stopped showing.

Sam and Spectra looked where she disappeared with a confused look.

"What does she mean 'get well soon'?" Spectra asked. Sam shrugged and sighed. This was just insane. She sat down and rubbed her temples.

"I have no idea." They sat in silence for a little while until Spectra broke it.

"I remember…" Sam turned her eyes to Spectra who touched the floor while smaller golden ripples waved against the larger ones.

"I remember I was training under Teacher Spirit's tutelage a long time. She was giving me a training session on the basics." Spectra turned her head to Sam.

"After you receive my powers, do you want me to teach you how to control them on the weekend or after school?" Sam was a little surprised to hear this from her side. Maybe she could accept herself and her ghost self. Sam gave her a rare smile and nodded.

"Okay. Sure."
