Chapter 1: Remembrance

"Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! SWEET FREEDOM!"

Danny soared in and out of the clouds, wind ripping through his hair, bugs in his teeth, absolutely carefree. Whenever he was undergoing a lot of stress, he did this. It took his mind off whatever he was stressed over, and it felt great. As you may have guessed, he did this a lot. Hey, it's really stressful being half human and half ghost. So what was he stressed about? A lot...school, Paulina, homework, Paulina, managing a balanced schedule (very hard to do), Paulina, and, of course, being a halfa in the first place. So, Danny had a lot on his mind, all of which was forgotten as he zoomed over the trees, through the clouds, and... into the neighbor's rose bush. CRUNCH! "Aw poop, now I remember everything I was trying to forget."

THE WILSON INCIDENT

Danny struggled out of the rosebush, and ran away before the neighbors could spot him. He went back to human form behind his house, and ran inside. He wasn't in any hurry; he just wanted to get back into the house before his parents realized he was gone. This usually happened at 10:00. It was 9:30.

"Hey Danny, you're early!" his dad said. "Once in a row- it's a new world record!"

"Oh stop it," Danny said. He raced upstairs to his room, panting. He wanted to get the rest of his homework done. Or at least that was his excuse. When he got to his room, he eyed the calendar. It was April 13- which meant tomorrow was-April 14.

Danny had some bad accosiations with April 14. It was the day that Wilson Dixon- a sixth grade classmate Danny had never liked- had died of a prank that had set off his asthma(did I spell that right?) three years ago. It was also the same day that Danny and Tucker- along with two other groups- had been accused of releasing the dust bomb that had killed Wilson. But, thanks to Sam, who hadn't been friends with the other two at the time, they had been proven innocent.

Danny sat at the desk in his room, smiling. If Sam hadn't defended them, his life would be much different. If Sam hadn't defended them, he and Tuck would be rotting in the town jail. If Sam hadn't defended them, he wouldn't be a halfa...Danny sat lost in thought until...

Ding.10:30. Bedtime.

Danny got in bed, forgetting to get into his pajamas and brush his teeth. He lay awake, thinking about the unlucky circumstances of April 14-17, 2001, until his sister came up and yelled at him to turn out the light(She was usually the one who yelled at him, because his parents never bothered).

"Goodnight world..."
