Hello peoples that are reading this! I would just like to let you know that Ember is now out of the Shadow Realm! I can now continue writing this without merely wondering what she would say!
Ember: What's the Shadow Realm? All I remember is this cute boy with long white hair coming up and talking to me...
Danny: Er, don't worry about. Can we get on with the story? I'm sure people wanna read that more than this.
Oh, Right! And sorry it's so short. I just wanted to hurry up and get this out!

Chapter 7: Walker's prison—I mean school.
Danny and Ember flew away from Clockwork's tower after the Specter Speeder was well out of sight. Danny growled softly at the fact that Clockwork had been less than helpful about Tucker and his father, or even Vlad. If Danny just knew what Vlad was doing, he could've guessed if everyone else was safe or not. That guy deserved to be in jail, but Danny had no way of knowing if he had gotten any justice. For all he knew, he could have died in vain.
Ember knew her new friend's discomfort. Clockwork had refused to show them anything about her brother as well.
A large shadow fell over the pair.
"Are you Danny Phantom?" A deep, heavily accented voice called.
Danny was so surprised that he 'eep'ed and hid behind Ember. She stood straighter.
"What if he is?" she said back, trying to find a face among the darkness that was floating by them.
The darkness then dispersed, revealing a man in his mid-to-late twenties, with near-bronze colored skin. His brown-grey eyes were piercing, like they could see straight into your very soul...
"Then I must ask that you come with me."

Danny had no idea when or how they had agreed to go with this... life-like ghost. Danny had had to take a double take when they'd met this guy. He just looked so alive.
Danny thought he looked Mayan, or Aztecan. He was definitely from somewhere around that area.
The new ghost led them to the 'school', as he'd called it, while talking about who he was. He never mentioned his name, though.
He was the principal of the academy, and Walker had contacted him to pick Danny up for the second semester so that he could 'keep an eye on him'.
Then man showed them around and got schedules for both teen ghosts, as Ember had wanted Danny to have at least one friend. They even had a couple classes together.
Danny got a couple language classes, one in Esperanto, the other in Japanese. Danny's excuse for taking that class was because he 'wanted to know what people were really saying in the animé cartoons'. Ember was surprised that he watched those.
He'd also signed up for an intermediate martial arts course so that he didn't get rusty from lack of ghost fighting. Ember didn't fight, so she took an artistic music class instead.
Her class will last two periods, so while she stayed in one class, Danny would go from his fighting class to an art class. Then they had history at the end of the day, apart from the other core classes that Danny was less than enthused about. The principal said that most ghosts' first history classes were on ancient cultures so that when they met a ghost from that time and place they knew how to act around them.
Danny and Ember got a class that taught them everything they needed to know since they were only staying for the semester. It taught Ancient Egyptian, Mayan, Aztecan, Babylonian, and about five more dead cultures. Maybe six.
Learning the languages would be a separate class, for them it would've been an over-the-summer class. But neither wanted to take it. If they needed to, they could probably ask for it at another time, or ask the teacher where they could go for lessons.

Danny collapsed on his bed as the day crashed into him finally. He'd been feeling just fine until he had made it to his lair, then his body felt like going to sleep. Ember had said that that was how his body would act for a few days until it got used to being completely made of ectoplasm.
She'd also mentioned that school would start next week and that she was taking him clothes shopping tomorrow.
Danny groaned as the torture he was going to endure dawned on him. He had learned a long time ago that girls were murderous when they dragged boys shopping, even Sam was that way.
Danny didn't realize it when his body shut down on him.
