This chapter is shorter (I think) than the last one, and Danny comes in, Yay!
Disclaimer: No, of course I don't own Danny Phantom!...I wish I did though.

She smiled slightly. It was odd to have such an odd building in a rural area.
She yawned again, and was about to go, when she saw a flash from the corner of her eye.
She turned, and looked around, to find nothing there.
"...weird." She muttered to herself.
She pulled her jacket closer around her shoulders, and shifted her bag slightly.
She was about to start walking, when she heard a soft cough from behind her.
She whipped around, to once again, find no one there.
She shifted her weight, and looked around. Panic began to rise within her.
"Who-who's there?!" She yelled, but not too loudly.
When no one answered, she began to back up slightly, then turned to run.
She ran until she came to a park. Once there, she made her way over to the swing set, and sat down to catch her breath.
She shivered a bit, and set her bad down.
Just then, someone walked into the park. Cassie looked up to see who it was.
It was a young boy. He looked to be about her age. He had messy black hair, that was semi-long. The one thing she took notice most of, though, were his eyes. They were a brilliant baby blue colour.
"Oh, hi!" He said brightly when he saw her.
"...hi" Cassie replied quietly.
"It's not often I find someone else in the park this time of night." He said with a smile, as he sat down in the swing next to hers.
Cassie let out a long breath, and found she could see it rise in wisps of white smoke.
"Yes, well...I'm new to this city..." she muttered.
"Ah." the boy nodded, and began to swing slightly back and forth.
POV
Danny looked at the girl for a moment. She was shying away from him. He raised an eyebrow. He couldn't believe she was the one who had set off his ghost senses only moments ago.
--
He had been lazing about in his room, when the blue vapour escaped his mouth.
When he went to investigate, he found this girl. She had been looking up at his house with wonder.
She had been about to leave when he went into ghost mode so he could investigate further.
When she turned to see who was there, Danny quickly became invisible.
She went to leave again, when Danny couldn't help but cough.
He had just been getting over a cold.
The girl panicked, and ran. He was going to go after her in his ghost mode, but decided against it, since he would probably scare her, and he didn't want her to be like the Dragon of the pendant he had fought before.
So, Danny went back to his human form, and ran after her.
--
Danny sighed. She didn't seem anything like a ghost. Let alone did she look like a ghost, or have their obvious ora.
POV
Cassie looked suspiciously at the boy who sat beside her. Was he like the boys she had met back home? She shook her head, and got up.
"Where're you going?" the boy asked, getting up.
"I dunno..." Cassie replied. She picked up her bag, and began to walk away from the swings, and out of the park.
"I'll go with you then!" The boy said, and jogged after her.
"Whatever..." Cassie muttered. She obviously wasn't going to shake this guy easily.
POV
Danny sighed to himself. He couldn't loose her now. Who knows what she was capable of?
POV
Cassie yawned, and stopped on the corner of two streets.
"Why do you keep following me?" She asked the boy, whom she still didn't know the name of.
"Uhhh...Cause, um...you...look...lonely?" He said, obviously making something up off the top of his head.
Cassie frowned. He probably was like the boys back where she used to live.
"Look," She said, getting right up into his face, "I don't need another wanna-be gang member, or whatever you are tailing me. Okay?! If your planning on pulling something on me, go do it to somebody else, cause I'm not one to mess with."
The boy swallowed hard, then smiled sheepishly. "Erm.... my name's Danny, what's yours?"
Cassie stepped back, and blinked. He actually looked worried, and he didn't even know what she was.
She smiled slightly. "The name's Cassandra. Sorry for blowing up at you like that, but I have a history of people bothering me about something or another."
"Ah, ya. I know what that's like." Danny muttered, "So, uh...do I always have to call you Cassandra, or is there a shorter version of it?" he asked with a smile.
Cassie sighed, and gave him a grin. "Cassie."
"Ah, Cassie. Much simpler. Easier to remember." Danny said.
Cassie giggled quietly. "So, what's the real reason you keep following me?"
POV
Danny panicked. What was he going to say? Nothing came into his mind that didn't involve totally telling her what he was.
What's a ghost boy to do?!
POV
"Well, to tell all truth...I think you're really pretty.... and, I was wondering if you'd like to do something with me tomorrow..." He said, blushing.
Cassie blinked. That was unexpected.
POV
Danny mentally slapped himself. That was the dumbest excuse he had ever come up with, and now, if she said yes, he was stuck with having a date with a girl he didn't know, and could pose a probable threat.
Great.
POV
Cassie blushed slightly.
"Uh...Thanks Danny, but no. I don't even know you."
Cassie smiled sheepishly.
She looked at Danny, and found he almost looked happy that she declined.
She shrugged it off, and began walking again.
"So where are you staying?" Danny asked.
"Well...I don't really know yet."
Yes, it is shorter, and slightly boring, but that's ok! At least Danny's there, right? Right. RR! Please? I BEG OF YOU!!!(I'm sorry about the POV thing, but no symbols I try seem to work! Gomen!)
