Afterlife
"What I am?" the white haired teen mutters to himself as he looks into the mirror. Neon green eyes staring back at him. He was wearing a black bio hazard suit with white gloves, boots and a white belt. Sigh he reaches his hand up and places it against the mirror. A white ring appears around his waist. The ring divides into two separate rings and repel away from each other, one travels down towards his feet. Red pants and a pair of blue flip flops replace the boots and hazmart. The other ring travels up, revealing a white t-shirt. Blue eyes and black hair replace the green eyes and white hair. Danny Fenton is now standing there. Reluctantly he removes his hand from the mirror and places two things on his wrist for 15 seconds. He lets out a sigh, "25 beats per minute, that's not normal," he whispers. His alarm comes to life across the room. His close the distance and turns it off. He didn't get any sleep last night. He changes out of his clothes and changes into a pair of black jeans and black t-shirt. Putting on his red sneakers and heads down the stairs into the kitchen and finds Maddie at the kitchen cooking eggs. He sits down at the table. He should probably tell her right. He is dead? Or dying. What if he comes back a ghost? "Mum, I have to tell you something," Danny says barely audible. "Yes dear,"
"How does someone come back as a ghost?" he asks her quietly.
"Interesting question, why are you asking?" she asks still concentrating on the eggs in front of her. If she did turn around she would have noticed how nervous he was acting/
"Just asking," he replies quietly, playing with his fingers.
"Well a ghost is a manifestation of ectoplasm that forms around the dead persons obsessions does that make sense?" she asking looking over her shoulder to see her son just shaking his head in confession. Letting out a chuckle she continues, "When a person dies if they had some unfinished business the ectoplasm may form around their spirit and form what we may call a ghost. What I'm trying to say is not all people who die become ghost just those with a reason."
"And that is why all ghost are evil Danny." Danny and Maddie turn to see Jack standing at the door coming from the lab. "Why would anyone want to be left behind when they could move on to the afterlife, so when I finally catch a ghost I'm destroy it molecule by molecule," Jack says smiling while cracking his fingers. "Maddie guess what the portal is working, come on you have to see it," he says with a big smile and begging her to fellow him down the stairs. Forgetting about the eggs she rushes after her husband.
Sigh Danny gets up off from his sit and walks over to the cooker and removes the pan from the cooker. Running a hand through his black hair he feels a strange sinking sensation. He looks down to see he was slowly sinking into the floor, his legs had disappeared from view and he had sank to about the knees. Panicking he latches out trying to grab something to stop the sinking. Grabbing onto the handle on the cooker he pulls himself up. His legs appear as soon afterwards. Slowly placing his foot in front of the other hoping to god he doesn't start sinking again he grabs his backpack and heads out the door, it was early in the morning but he needs to talk to Tucker.
"Hey Danny! And you are wearing all black everything? I mean I didn't even know you owned a single black shirt," Tucker comments as he opens the door to his home and allows Danny to slip inside. "Just give me a second to get my backpack from my room and then we can head to school," Tucker says as he ascends the stairs towards his room. Danny looks around the familiar room, he always found it rather strange that the entrance was also the dining room as he looks at the table which had remains of breakfast one it. Hearing footsteps Danny looks up to see Tucker descending down the stairs. "Come on Dude lets go," Tucker says walking past Danny and out the front door. Danny follows suit and descends down the stairs to the main street. Tucker joins him after locking the door and the head off down the street.
"Tucker, I'm a little worried. Remember yesterday when my hair was white and my eyes were green. Well it happened again at night. What if I'm dying?" Danny questions as the pair continue to school.
"Danny calm down, I said it before and I will say it again. It is probably just a few side effects from the ectoplasm you exposed to. Remember what happened to the puppy Jazz had when she was like five? Scooby? Yeah Scooby, remember he was black until he got exposed to that beaker of ectoplasm, he turned white for like two weeks," Tucker said as he pulled out his PDA and start messing with it.
"Yeah and he also died!" Danny exclaimed stopping in the middle of the pavement just in front of Casper high flinging his hand up in a dramatic manner.
"He was hit by a car, seriously Danny nothing bad is happening to you now come on or we will be late for home room," Tucker says dragging his best friends up the stairs and into the student infested hallways.
