I don't own Danny.

Chapter 4

"What the heck? Is that me?" The figure above Steph didn't reply, just flew into her body. A white glow surrounded her momentarily, and then disappeared.

Danny held out his hand to help Steph stand. "You're half ghost too?" he asked. "I-I don't know..." she replied slowly. "D'you think this has anything to do with that ghost earlier?" "Maybe," Danny replied. "Let's see what Sam found tomorrow."

The next day, Sam approached Danny and Steph at school, printouts in her hand. "The Halfess," she said, showing them one of the papers. "A half girl, half ghost who was born with ghost powers. Apparently she's unable to activate her powers until she meets a halfa-which I guess would be you, Danny. Once her powers are activated, she will be unable to control them without instruction from the halfa." "So...I'm half ghost, and will be unable to control my powers until Danny shows me how?" Steph asked. "Basically," came the reply.

"Right. It's been over a day since I met Danny, and my 'powers' have yet to act up." However, as Steph finished speaking, she suddenly turned intangible and fell halfway through the floor. Danny grabbed her arm and pulled her out of the floor. "You were saying?"

"Aish...That's going to be happening all the time now! Unless Danny shows me how to use these powers," Steph said, looking at Danny hopefully. He gave a quick nod. "Sure, I'll help you after school." Steph smiled. "Tha-" She was interrupted by the bell ringing loudly. The four dispersed to their classes.

That afternoon, Danny met up with Steph, Tucker, and Sam near the entrance to the school. He led them behind the school, into an alley. "This is where I fight a lot of ghosts," he said. "Nobody will see us here."

The poor shape of the alley showed that nobody would even go near it, let alone come close enough to see them. It was surrounded on three sides by crumbling brick walls, covered with faded graffiti. The ground had a few spots of dead grass, and the entire area had a thick layer of rusting cans, molding newspapers, and other various garbage items.

"So...what to do first?" Steph asked. "Try going ghost," Danny replied. "Just concentrate on going ghost, and you'll transform." So saying, he transformed into Danny Phantom.

Steph closed her eyes, and then suddenly two purple rings surrounded her. As they passed over her body, they changed her blond hair to white, and her clothes to a suit similar to Danny's, except it was deep purple, with black gloves, boots, belt, and triangle area near the neck. When her transformation was complete, she opened her eyes, revealing them to be a glowing purple.

She looked down at herself. "Wow..I'm really a ghost.." She looked up at Danny. "What now?" "Well you could try intangibility, or invisibility, or flying-""FLYING!"

"All right. Just concentrate on flying, and you'll fly." "What, I don't have to think happy thoughts?" Steph asked sarcastically.

Before Danny said anything, Steph again closed her eyes, then slowly rose into the air. When she was a few feet above the ground, she opened her eyes and smiled. "This is so cool..." She flew higher into the air, flying this way and that as she gained more confidence in the ability.

The rest of the afternoon was pretty much like that. Danny taught Steph how to go intangible and invisible, and they even threw a couple of ectoplasmic energy blasts.

When Steph could easily control her powers, or at least control them as well as Danny could, the two transformed back to their human forms. "I wish there was a ghost to fight now," Steph said.

A purple mist escaped from her mouth, along with a blue mist from Danny. "Guess your wish was granted," Danny said.

Touzoku-ouhi: You just got that? Eh, I guess it's not that obvious that Steph is me...but, well, she is.

Jewel59: I have no idea why he wasn't freaking out more. In a state of shock, perhaps?

Cooperstar and Blink: Well, as you continue to read, you'll find I am a cliffhanger addict. Practically every chapter ends at a cliffhanger. Heck, the story itself will end at a cliffhanger!
