Whoa! Lots of reviews since the last update, thank you guys so much! Here are the replies:

MsFrizzle: I just realized I never replied to your reply on the chapter, Contract, so apologies for that! At the time I was just focusing on getting up all those chapters that were already set to go. Anyways, glad you liked that bit, it's always seemed unrealistic that in the show, funding for their research was never even a conceivable issue XD

Guest: Omg! Now I feel bad because you've just caught up and those other stories are on hiatus! D: You've inspired me now though, so I'll try to finish up What Life is Like in Amity Park when I get settled with this story :) I hear your request and One of a Kind is up next! It's actually already written at the time this is being uploaded, just got to edit and wait for posting day. Happy New Year to you as well, and no worries, I love a good long review! Thank you!

Rush721: Haha, I hear your request and have plenty of Vlad chapters planned now! He's such a fun character to write and I always find it interesting how everyone in this Phandom writes Vlad differently :)

Pheek: I'm glad you're liking it so far!

Tsuki Yosuke: Glad you enjoyed that chapter! I'll be trying to do more similar to it!

Ectoplasmic Secrets

Possession

Summary: Danny accidentally figures out that the ability of possession came included in his package of ghostly attributes.

Danny flew through the hallways of Casper High invisibly. He had about thirty seconds to get to his class that had been on the opposite side of the school.

It was odd, he realized, that he could use these ghostly abilities so casually by then. It had only been just over two weeks since the portal incident, but it felt like it was so much longer. He remembered that the first couple days alone had felt like weeks. A lot had happened since then.

Sometime during the first week he had been out and had come across the apartment fire. It hadn't taken him long to figure out that he could pull the person who was trapped out of there much easier and much safer than a firefighter could. It had just felt like the obvious thing to do. He hadn't even found out until two days later that a bystander had filmed the whole encounter and uploaded it online.

Early into the next week that ghost had attacked the school, and really, what had he been supposed to do? Sit back and let them hurt Sam and Tucker? Obviously not. The following days people across town started connecting that it had been the same ghost at both incidents. Some of them had began to wonder after that, sparking all kinds of debates. They wondered if a ghost even could have good intentions.

Danny wondered the same thing because, could he even really be called a ghost? He knew he'd gained many characteristics that only ghosts could have, but last he'd checked, ghosts didn't need to breath or have a heartbeat either.

He flew around another corner, racing against the clock. He had to account also for the time it took to hide somewhere nearby, change back, then walk (or run) into class. While he was zipping through the hall, he didn't notice Dash turn the corner to his left, right into his path.

They collided before Danny could do much of anything, but they didn't just crash into each other and fall down, nor did Danny pass through Dash intangibly. Instead it seemed like they got tied to one another. Somewhere right in the middle of colliding both tangibly and intangibly.

Everything was black for a second.

Danny opened his eyes and knew something had happened because he didn't remember his eyes being this particular height from the ground. He looked down at himself, only to find it wasn't himself.

He looked at the tight black T shirt and the red and white Letterman jacket. Not-his body felt weird, like wearing clothes that are too big for you.

"Holy shit" he said, not-his voice cracking. "I'm possessing-"

"Dash!" another voice cut in. He recognized it as Kwan and turned to see the other jock jogging up to him.

"Come on, man, we're gonna be late!"

I really am. I'm possessing Dash fucking Baxter. Great. Just Great. Danny could only watch and comply as Kwan dragged what he thought was his best bud into their math class. He didn't know what to do, how to get out of Dash's body, or how he'd possessed him in the first place.

Trying not to freak out to much, he figured he'd just have to go along with the strange situation until he could figure out what to do.

Participating in Dash's math class proved to be pretty easy. It was interacting with Dash's friends and pretending to be him that was difficult. Oh why, of all people did it have to be Dash Baxter that he'd literally run into.

"So what nerd are you cheating off?" Kwan asked, more than halfway through the class.

He was about to say he wasn't before realizing it wouldn't be characteristic of Dash to get that many answers right on the book work without any help. He quickly spared a glance around, recognizing a few of the kids in the class.

"Uh, Lester" he whispered, or tried to anyway, it was weird controlling a voice that wasn't his own.

"Huh. Didn't think he was that good for math answers, better for history or English in my opinion."

Danny didn't even know how to answer that.

"You sure it's safe to be getting that many right? If you get caught again your dad's gonna be more than pissed."

He wasn't quite sure what to make of that comment, but ended up changing a few answers to wrong anyways. For a minute something had started pushing him lightly before fading away again.

After that class Danny was beginning to worry more as he was still stuck inside Dash's body with no ideas on how to leave.

He let Kwan guide where they were supposed to be going next, as he hadn't a clue what Dash's schedule was. Kwan kept talking about things he couldn't understand the whole way. Danny continued to hum and nod and agree with whatever the other boy was saying, focusing more on figuring out where they were going.

When they were almost there it became obvious to Danny. The locker room. A sense of dread set it. Math class had been bearable, but Danny definitely did not want to go through Dash's gym class for him. The worst thought was that he'd be asked to change out into the school gym clothes. Changing out in a locker room full of people in your own body was one thing, doing it in somebody else's was a whole other thing. He didn't want to do it, and he'd bet that if Dash were there, he wouldn't want him to do it either, and as much as he hated Dash, he wouldn't blame the guy. It just seemed like crossing a line.

Thankfully, Danny realized something. "Um, you know what? I forgot my locker combo, so I guess I'm just not gonna change out today." At least it was kind of true, Danny in fact didn't know what Dash's locker combo even could be.

Kwan sighed, "Really?" Before proceeding to open Dash's locker.

Danny stared at the open locker.

"Well? Coach is gonna be here soon, you better get moving" Kwan said, pulling on his own gym shirt.

He started to pull off Dash's trademark jacket while trying to come up with a new plan to get out of having to change. The pushing he'd felt before returned.

"Whoa, dude!" Kwan said in a hushed voice, sounding very surprised, "What are you doing?"

Danny didn't know what to say.

"I thought you didn't want anyone to see the scar!" Kwan said with his voice still very low so no one else in the room would hear.

Guess you've got some secrets of your own then, Dash.

The push against him was more forceful this time and Danny realized quickly that it was beginning to undo the intangible knot that held them together. He didn't think twice to seize the opportunity and somehow pulled the knot the rest of the way.

Before he knew it he was floating invisibly and couple feet away from Dash and Kwan.

"Huh? Kwan? What am I doing here?"

Danny flew out of the locker room and towards his second hour class. He supposed he could add possession to the list of all things ghostly that he could do now, although he was pretty sure he didn't want to do that again anytime soon.

A/N: Hello! Yes, I'm technically putting this up on Thursday night, even though I said it would be up on Friday. Decided to tonight instead since I've got the time now, and won't when I'm at school tomorrow, so yay! Slightly early upload!

Hope you guys enjoyed this chapter! Since I'm not doing a rewrite for Parental Bonding, and that was the episode that introduced possession/overshadowing as a power that Danny had, I decided to write this. The first person he ever overshadowed in the series was Dash, so I thought, why not stick with that?

Next chapter will be going up a week from when this was supposed to be uploaded, meaning Friday, January 18th.

Thank you so much for reading/favoriting/following/reviewing! "See" ya next time!
