Sorry it took me so long to post this. First, I had a bad case of writer's block, a scourge nearly fatal to many writers. Then, my computer crashed. It's fixed now, but I wish I had Emma's way with technology.

The Two Kinds of Halfas Chapter Ten

At Alcatraz-

Haley moved her wheelchair closer to fallen body. Then man the groaned and Haley frantically moved back, rolling over Greggy's toes.

"Ouch!" But Haley didn't reply. She was gazing at the unconscious man with fixed interest.

"What happened to him?" she wondered aloud.

"I don't think he's a ghost anymore," a voice said behind her. Haley turned. It was Dani.

"And good riddance, I'd say," the ghost girl sniffed haughtily.

"So, he's a human?"

"That's my guess," said Danny coming up through the floor. The two, ahem, 'cousins' looked at each other.

"So what are you going to do with him?" Haley asked. The two ghost kids grinned identical predatory smiles.

"We have something in mind," Danny replied.

Behind the scenes with the author-

DragonPrincess19 was really getting sick of Greggy. Wouldn't it be nice to have him just 'poof' away? Maybe she could do that, but it would be an elegant foreshadow for the sequel…

"Hey!" she suddenly shouted, realizing that all these people were reading this.

"How dare you!" Then she stopped. It was really her own fault that she had typed it in the first place.

"Oh well," she finally sighed, and went back to work.

Back on Alcatraz-

The portal was opened one last time.

"Bye!" Haley said cheerfully and wheeled herself through the shimmering portal. Sam and Tucker went in next, but Danny and Dani were staying behind. Like they had said before, they had a special punishment in mind for Plasmius.

The shining portal closed with an odd sound, sort of like a cross between a pop and a sucking sound.

"Now we'll deal with you," Dani said to Plasmius, who looked at her, her, ahem, 'cousin', and all the dragons behind the two ghost kids fearfully.

"Now, no need to get all angry," he said charismatically. "It was nothing personal."

"Oh really?" Plasmius realized there would be no escape. So he closed his eyes and braced himself for the worst.

In NYC-

Emma sat on her bed. Here she was, in the last year of middle school, at the first dance. It was supposed to be fun. But instead she was crying to herself. Her MP3 had been hooked up to one of her speakers, and a song echoed around her room.

"He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar." (A/N I don't own that song, Taylor Swift does)

"Oh, stop wallowing in self-pity," she finally snapped at herself. She reached over and turned the MP3 off. Blessed silence.

"I never even really cared for him," she told herself. She didn't believe it, though.

"Emma?" Jake walked into his twin's room. Emma tried to hide her tearstained face, but Jake saw it.

"What's wrong? Is it that stupid Nigel Thrall?" Jake asked. As he said Nigel's name, Jake's jaw automatically clenched.

"He dumped me."

"I'LL KILL HIM!" roared Jake. He had been searching for an opportunity to do just so, and this was perfect. Emma grabbed his arm.

"No, no. It's all right. I took care of him." Jake calmed down.

"Oh. Okay." He looked at his sister. She was still sad. He could tell, no matter how hard she tried to hide it. After all, they were twins.

"Hey, Emma." His sister looked at him.

"Yes?"

"Some day, the perfect person is going to come and meet you. And then you won't care about Nigel Thrall or anybody like that anymore." A small ting suddenly sounded. It was Emma's email account. Jake looked up. The new email was titled "The Perfect One".

"And I think that someone knows exactly who that is." Emma lifted her tearstained face to Jake.

"Thanks, bro."

"Anytime, sis."

Behind the scenes with the author-

DragonPrincess19 whirled around in her chair.

"Okay, here's what happened."

"Dani and Danny, the, ahem, 'cousins', beat up Plasmius pretty well. Then they threw him into a prison specially designed for half ghost people. Just in case.

"Oh, and when I say throw, I mean it literally.

"Nigel ended up on that skyscraper for two days before someone finally helped him. He never bothered Emma after that. Serves him right!

"Emma opened the email from Plain Emma, and the email told her exactly what Jake had thought it would. Emma met up with the perfect guy that summer.

"But that's another story…"
