Author's Note: The 365 Project is an experimental multi-fandom project to write and post at least one short every day for the next year, not including my semi-regular bi-weekly updates. For more details, see the relevent section in my profile. This is The 365 Project, 17 December.

"Danny Phantom and the Ghoul School"
'Meet The Students'
By J.T. Magnus, 'Turbo'

-o0O0o-

Daniel Fenton dropped facefirst into his new bed with a groan. He had hoped that the 'School for Ghouls' on the sign was a misprint that they'd left up out of humor or even tagging from some local vandals, but he had found himself disappointed. The headmistress was a witch, the deputy head - and one of his fellow teachers - was a former detective and monster-hunter - not that anyone could tell it by looking at the guy, the faculty consisted of a squid that could somehow walk and breath on dry land, a hand without a body, a dragon and a talking dog that didn't seem to realise that he even was a dog...

Then there were the students...

Sassaba was a sasquatch, her father was Tumenah, better known to most as the legendary 'Bigfoot'. Considering that one of Danny's own teachers in his ghost powers had been a yeti ghost, and the yeti and sasquatch were related, he was actually more comfortable dealing with her than some of her classmates.

Marcia was a Martian, that one took a little getting used to. Danny still wasn't sure if she was a ghoul since she was an extraterrestrial, not an Earth monster, but that was just something for him to think about. Her father had sent her to the Grimwood School after the uncle she had been living with was arrested for violation of interstellar arms treaties and interstellar terrorism for planning to blow up Earth with an Illudium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator, claiming in his defense that the 'Third Planet' was blocking his view of Venus.

Then there was Levy; dealing with her being a gillman - or would that be 'gillmaid' or 'gillgirl', Danny wasn't sure - was easy, it was the fact that she constantly forgot and slipped into her native Brazilian-Portugese when she was talking that was actually turning out to be her biggest problem.

Zuki was an exchange student from Japan, fortunately for everyone she seemed to take more after her brothers G.J. and Minilla then their father when it came to humans. It was even more fortunate that as long as she ate meat and such and didn't absorb radiation she wouldn't start growing to the size of her infamous city-destroying father. Her worst habit was listening to music by The Blue Oyster Cult for hours on end.

Finally, the oldest girl-ghoul at the school was Tanis, a mummy who had been attending the Grimwood School since she was younger. How a mummy, a dead person whose body was reanimated by ancient Egyptian magic, could age, Danny wasn't sure he wanted to know. He knew that some people would have the same reaction to the idea of someone being able to be a half-ghost. It just didn't fit with conventional knowledge. And these were the girls he would be teaching? Danny groaned into his pillow, maybe being dissected molecule by molecule wouldn't have been so bad after all...

Author's Note: And now, the breakdown

Marcia The Martian is actually a character from Warner Bros. 'Tiny Toon Adventures', where her uncle is, of course, Marvin The Martian.

Levy is the daughter of 'The Creature from The Black Lagoon' and is named after a mistranslation of Revy, one of the characters from the anime/manga "Black Lagoon", just another example of my twisted humor sometimes.

Zuki is the daughter of Godzilla. I'm well aware that 'Godzuki' from the 70's-80's cartoon and Minilla are technically supposed to be the same character, but I found it fitting to use the name. Her favorite Blue Oyster Cult song is, obviously, "Godzilla".
