Danny stood by the window of the tall,red-bricked apartment that he had been brought to just a few hours ago.Looking down at too squirrels chase each other up a tree.One of them had a nutt greedily shoved up in it's mouth,while the other one tried to get it back,but still seemed unsuccessful once they both reached one of the top braches.There were so many thought rushing through his mind at that moment,like,would he ever be the same again and was all this acutally for real?

"When you're ready to talk,"Jade's nonchalant voice came from behind him,as she busied herself by writing something down in a green notebook,"I'm all ears,just say the word kid."

"OK,for one thing,you're only a year older then me..."Danny told her to set things straight,marching over to where she was still seated on the couch,"And for another,how do I know any of this is for real!I mean,come on,you've gotta admitt that this is basically something that doesn't happen to you're averge teen just fresh outta Junior High,right?"

"You may have something of a point,"She repiled simply,blowing at her branding staff and then standing up to face him seriously,"But how do you feel right now...um...?"

"Danny."

"Right..Danny,how does all this click with you at this very moment?Does it frighten you,excite you,what does it do?"

Danny thought long and hard about this,turning to look down at both his hands and then clenching them into fist.The truth was,he still didn't know what to think.It was all just so much to take in,but he tried especially hard to understand.He had already crossed off this Jade person as an unpossible canidate for causing this to happen to him.But it didn't explain what exactly 'had' and 'how' this happened to him.However,realizinghedid owe her some sort of thank you for not having him exposed,he gathered his thoughts and said with some mock apologenicness,

"Look,Jade.I apperciate you're trying to help me and everything,but I really need to know what all this means...I mean,what do I do now that I'm...I'm...part ghost."

"First off,"She began to say evenly,her sly mood starting to lift up,"I found you by tracker,I knew someday I'd find another one like me.Uh...but,I'm not being very honest.I'm only a quarter ghost and I don't remember because...Um,I live with my father and stepmother.Plus my Half sister Emerald,see,I keep the fact that I use to be a ghost wrangler of ghost who did manage to find a way into the real world a secret and no one besides my sister knows.You-You need to tell me..."

"Tell you what?"Danny inquired uneasily,taking a few steps back as she moved closer,"What?What do I need to tell you!"

She sighed deeply and then reverted to her cool,sly way of telling things,but accidently lost it by blurting out forcefully,"Why the HECK did you build that ghost portal,idiot?Now all the ghost can come through!"

"Huh...?But that thing was more empty then my lunch box when school bullies used to steal by lunch when I was 8!"

"Apparently someone's not well aware thatthey've allowed any givenghost a one-way ticket from thier world to ours!"She exploded on him angerily,her eyes flashing intensely,"Now they can come and go as they please."

"How about this then,"Danny told her reappoarchingly,starting to form an only partly visual tail behind him and raising up into mid-air suddenly,"First off,my parents made that portal and I just happened to go in it to see what was there,Secondly,I don't need you're help!I'll stop them on my own...I can."

With that,he swooped out of the room through the wall without even realising it and flew back to his house as fast as he could.Jade made her way over to the window to watch him leave and groaned outwardly,kicking at the ground.

"FINE!If that hard-headed imbocile wants to fly off to save the world without knowing what he's doing in the first place...fine!What do I care?That's right,I don't care!He's just some kid who I found and that's all there is to it."

"You know you have to go,"Came a voice from another room and 12 year old girl with short brunette hair and the same emerald eyes as Jade came into the room,"You have to,without you he could do more bad then good."

"Emerald,"Jade sighed wearily,dropping down onto the couch in a huff,"How long have you been standing there?"

"Long enough to know you care about him and that you need to help me out,"She commented with a nod out the window,planting herself next to her sister while sipping casually on a smoothie,"You like him,don't you Jade Black?"

"Well,I don't like him right now but I guess I do need to make sure he doesn't hurt himself on anyone else."She nodded back with smile,clicking a button on the notepad and then having rocket extend out of her backpack,"You're pretty smat,for a pain in the black belt!"

"Hmm,"Emerald watched her sister burst through the front door and fly into the sky contently,"This could get interesting and by that I mean my sister's going to help train the one and only Halfa and let's me screw everything up for her and him."

Meanwhile,Danny flew above the current town of Yettleton,it was right next door to the town Danny lived in and he'd acutally been here a few times.But this flying thing is kind of hard to get the hang of,He mused to himself,narrowly avioding a tree in his way,I have to get back home and fast!

"Tucker!Watch out..."He caught the voice of Sam nearby upon reaching his house,it came about a block away from his house.

"Sam,Tuck,"Danny breathed determindedly under his breath,racing from just about above his room and zipping onto the next block of Bloomington Drive in record time.

As he drew nearer,the voices became more clearer as he approached.His heart was pounding loudly up in his throat,as hecircled around an alleyway and saw with horror that a grey ghost-like wolf had them cornered at the very end.He looked menacing and frightening and his eyes were deep crimson.

"Oh,terrorfic.Another one!"Sam observed Danny in the background,"Just what we need,two of these things dead on our trail."

"Terror-fic.Ha-ha!That was pretty funny,you should so stand-up Sam!"Tuck started to laugh,covering his hand over his mouth.

"Right.Then why doesn't the so-called 100 percent All-American man go out and stand up to the big,growling,snarling grey beast!"

But before she could push Tucker forward,Danny quickly cut in front of them and closing his eyes,he let his fist fly into the Wolf's jaw bone.It whimpered slightly,but came back and slashed Danny up againist the wall.He slid down it and would have gotten up if his side didn't hurt.

"You...tried saving us?"He barely heard Sam say,admiration seeming to build in it as she spoke,"But...he's one of you,isn't he?"

"Correction,he's a ghost wolf and that's a ghost boy!"Came a familiar voice in front of them,as the Wolf got so close to them by now his misty breath steam-rolled off them.

"Ja-Jade,"Danny tried lifting his head,but his neck was stiff and he grunted when he moved.That was when a green-glowing rope flip out and fall upon the Wolf's neck.She winked at Danny as if to say she'd figure out they knew each other and went on to attend the matter at-hand.

"Who are you?"Sam kneeled down to Danny's side and looked as if searching for the awnser in his light,glowing green eyes.

"Yeah and why'd you save us?"He also heard Tucker kneel down,a little more demanding.

"I'm-"Danny started to say,but then realizing they might not accept him anymore,he began to float up into the air with hand clutched to his side and began to drift away,"Nobody you'd want to know."

"That's not true!"Sam shot at him defensively,grabbing hold of his foot and preventing him from going any further,"That Wolf had us on the run and out of nowhere you show up and save...save our lifes."

Danny turned his head toward her,"I did?"

"Yeah,you did!"Tucker joined in with a smile,but then frowened,"Of course I'm probabley going crazy right about now,talking to a ghost and all,but what can I say...You're a pretty cool ghost for that!"

"So,you're saying you'd guys accept me no matter who I was?"Danny inquired them curiously,dropping to his feet questioingly.

"Sure,but that's just it...who are you?"

Danny thought for a minute,then seeing that he could truely trust them no matter what and it was a mistake to doubt thier loyalty towards him as a friend.Danny offered them both an earnest grin,as he changed back into his normal form.

"Well,guys.Tucker,Samantha,it's me.Danny."

Is this getting good or is this getting good?Yeah,I know it's sort of hard to wait for his friend's reactions...and what about Jade?And is Emerald up to something?Stay tuned!
