Summary: Through an act of stupidity, Danny gets himself seen not just by one, but -three- people. Yet why are none of them spreading his secret around? And why are weirder things than ghosts starting to prowl Casper High?
Disclaimer: Ha. Yeah, all I own is the plot and Aisling.

Danny didn't know if he should tell or not. Yes, this girl had accepted him as he was, but he had just met her, and plus, she had practically bitten him. The girl seemed to catch the the hestitation, for she relaxed slightly and spoke in more normal tone.
"Look, before anything else, you should come down and turn back to normal. You can do that right? And I won't bite if you don't try to kill me." She was perfectly serious.
Danny floated down, and resumed human form, glad that though he was no long above her head, he was still taller than this girl. She seemed to have settled down and was studying him, her expression the same as it had been before, intense and curious, though now that he was closer, he could she that it was also friendly.
"Okay, here's how it goes. I'm Aisling. You're..."
"Danny."
"Danny, okay. I saw you turn into, uh, that in the hall. Why?"
"There was a, well, it was ghost."
She nodded at that. Danny was glad.
"Okay. But why did you attack me?"
"I well, heh, though you were ghost."
"Oh." Aisling's voice was irritated, but amused. "So you're a ghost hunter?"
"Well, not like... You see." There was a pause. "I'm a half ghost." He cringed, waiting, just waiting for the scream, the reaction, the sudden fear of what he was.
Her eyebrows shot up. "That's new."
Danny paused for a moment, then breathed. But he was amazed that she was surprised, and some how angry not get a reaction.
"Why don't you care?" He knew his anger was stupid, but it was tough dealing with it, and this girl was taking it like he was telling a slightly interesting fact that had nothing to do with anything, not reveiling his most important secret. Aisling's eyes narrowed.
"Oh, you wonder why do you?" She grimaced. "Do you want to be special? You think special can't hurt, and I don't know about it." She was taking his tone of voice much worse than Danny had thought was possible.
"I'll show you why." And she tensed. Danny backed off, not sure what was happening.
Suddenly, her form wavered slightly, and her neck arched forward, like one does when streaching after a long sleep. In an elegant fall she dropped to four legs, and shook her head.
A hyena.
