Chapter 2
"Star Ghost huh? Well, I'm Danny Phantom. This is Rosa Specter." Danny introduced.
Star eyed the two, Danny Phantom, could be.. Danny Fenton, and Rosa, was the girl who she liked. All in a way knew each other, since they had all met the same day. But neither talked to each other, this was just too awkward.
Sam and Tucker noticed that as well.
"Lets give them some alone time." Tucker advised.
"Right." Sam agreed, leaving the three.
"So, um welcome to the team!" Rosa said with a smile.
"Who said I wanted to be with you guys?" Star snorted. "I like doing this on my own thank you. I was a halfa long before you two were. You don't have the experience I do. Or the powers."
"Like the sparkly plasma?" Danny asked with a raised eyebrow.
Star sighed and rolled her eyes. "Yes, my sparkly plasma is one of them. I work best at night, when I can see the moon and stars, but this guy was annoying me so, I went into action."
"But you coulda hurt someone." Rosa looked at her.
She stared back at Rosa, not a hint of guilt was on her face. "So? If you're in the way, get out or pay the price. That's how I work sweetie. Sorry if it doesn't go to your goody goody code." Star looked at her gloves, obviously not caring if she hurt someone else's feelings.
She hurt Rosa's, but she refused to let her see it.
"Hey, Star. That wasn't very nice." Danny told her. Star floated above him.
"And what are you going to do about it?" She was glowing yellow.
"I-uh.." Danny was kind of scared. "I don't want to fight you." He finally said.
"No, you don't," Star smirked. "So go do your goody goody ways, and leave me alone." The next thing they knew, Star was gone.
"Well.. she was....delightful.." Rosa said sarcastically.
"Ehh, c'mon Rosa, lets find Tuck and Sam." The two wandered around until they found Tucker and Sam.
"Cheerful girl.." Sam commented.
"I know who she is." Danny said without emotion.
"Who?" Everyone else asked.
"She said her name was Star Ghost right? Well there happens to be the new girl, whose name is Star Vost." Rosa's eye widened.
"You're right." She whispered.
"Okay, so the new ghost gal is another new kid, so why doesn't she want us to be friends with her?" Tucker asked.
"That's the question." Danny mused. "I wish I knew the answer."
She watched them down below from the air. She already knew that Danny Phantom was Danny Fenton, and Rosa Specter was Rosa Sector. Now she had to know that they wouldn't get in her way. They hadn't followed her, which was good. It was a start. She didn't want to fight them. She thought for a brief moment that maybe, they could be her friends. Then her mind clouded again with visions of the past. She twisted her mouth into a scowl and quickly tossed the thought away. No, they would never be friends with her. She didn't need friends. Everyone was an enemy. Her life was a lonely one, but after past experiences, she would not make the same mistakes twice. She would trust no one, she couldn't afford to hurt her heart anymore. She already carried so much pain in it. With a tear in her eye she flew towards her new home for now. With her foster parent's sister and her husband. Unlike the others, they refuse to give up on me, she thought with a hint of a smile. Wonder if they will have better luck...
"Vlad, is that the girl you mentioned before?" Skulker asked.
"Yes, Star. Quite a piece of work. But I am after Danny and his mother if you remember." Vlad was staring a paper mentioning a yellow-eyed ghost being around the area.
"How do you know her?" Skulker was curious.
"Long story, she was a halfa I fought with a while ago. She was young at the time. She had a bit of a ego problem. I set her straight though." He smiled. "She never forgot it, probably she still hasn't. Much like I did to Daniel, I beat her up rather well. I thought she would die. But of course fate is a strange thing. Someone found her and got her to a hospital. The police thought it would be gang related. I got her kicked out of that foster home. It was a big blow." His smile was cruel.
"Oh well, onto more pressing matters, how can we get rid of that pest, Rosa? She is the real threat here." Vlad looked at Skulker.
"We could throw her into the ghost zone and damage the portal so she never could return." Skulker advised.
Vlad thought about it. "Good, but still not good enough. Daniel is smart. We need a plan that foolproof!" suddenly his eyes lighted up. "Come! I have the perfect plan."
Rosa woke up the next morning and did her usual routine. When she stopped at the mirror near her dresser did she freeze and glance into it. There, on her right cheek was a small red dot. The strange thing about it was that it was glowing toxic green as well. She felt herself gulp. Then she ran to the phone and dialed Danny's number.
Ring
Ring
Ring...
"Hello?" a female voice asked.
"Can I talk to Danny?" Rosa said quickly.
"Sure honey, Danny! Someone's on the phone for you!" Rosa heard a couple thumps, as if Danny was running. Then she heard his panting.
"Rosa? You alright?" He asked quickly. Rosa made a small smile. He always was petrified since she went after her sister the weeks before.
"Danny, listen, erm.. have you ever had like, ghost acne?" She asked.
"Uh, no." He answered. "Why do you ask?"
"Well... I think I have ghost acne. One appeared overnight and I'm kind of worried."
"I'm sure its nothing. It will probably go away."
"I don't know.. I wish I knew someone with a condition like this, it would make me feel better."
There was a pause on the other end.
"Do you know someone?" She asked.
"Well...sort of." He sighed. He hoped to never tell her about this.
"Who?" she asked curious.
"One of the most dangerous Halfa's I have ever known." Danny replied. "He isn't good, he is evil, and he wants me and my mother. I believe you already met him in the past."
Rosa felt herself inhale sharply. "You mean? That Vlad Plasmas guy?"
"Yeah." Danny said sadly.
Rosa thought for a minute. Surely she wouldn't go to that guy to wonder if she was alright because of one pimple. She felt herself laugh a little.
"Hehe, well.. I'm sure ill be fine. See you at school?" She sounded as cheerful as she could be.
"Sure." Danny said back, when they both hung up, Danny leaned against the wall near the phone. Like Rosa, he wasn't too concerned, but he still hoped that this wasn't another one of Vlad's plans. He sighed, shook his head and went upstairs to get changed.
As Star went to school, she felt her insides twist around. How could she talk to Danny and Rosa today? Should she act tough? Would they threaten to tell everyone? No, they couldn't have known who she was. But she still was worried. She'd better act extra tough to them today. She wasn't about to let anyone get in her way. Not even them.
