I know, I know, I updated quicker than I said I would. I finished HW in school so I decided to get another chapter up. This is a SHORTER CHAPTER but it still might be worth reading. The last time I updated was on 4/1/05. Now 4/4/05. Yay! I'm on a roll! Okay, onto the reviews . . .

Hearts Of Eternity: Yes, all of the students got out all right. And yes, pain sucks. And yes, Vlad has the ghost zone as his army. You'll be seeing a WHOLE LOT MORE of that in chapters 12 and up. Continue being addicted my friend. LoL. Thanks!

Cakreut12: GAGH! Don't strangle me! (grabs baseball bat) Lucky for you, you won't have to wait long. I updated. Is Star gonna tell anyone? Maybe. . . Is Star gonna confront him? Maybe. . . Don't you wanna hurt me for each time I say 'maybe'? Read and find out!

SashaJeanneW0lf: YAY! WOLVES! I love wolves! (and the moon ) Anyway, I'm gonna stop talking about my obsessions and get straight to the reviews. Another one who wants to strangle me. As for the anger thing, I'll take your word on it. I updated :D See? No need to hurt me (raises baseball bat threateningly)

Bluish Black Dolphin: Glad you like it :) I updated! (Finally, someone who's not trying to beat the crud out of me)

Asilla: YEAH! YOU USED THE WORD FANTASTIC! I am sooooooooooo happy right now! AH! And GREAT! I'm even happier! I have udated ASAP and yes, Star knows. As Danny said in 'Lucky In Love', "Girls can't keep secrets!" Psh That is such a lie. I'm a great secret keeper! (Amanda coughs in the background)

Liaranne: Nope, no break, sadly. First ghost attack, then another ghost attack, Valerie, then another ghost attack. He's as busy as LavenderPaw.

Can-I-Bounce-The-Ferret: ROFL! PASS SCIENCE? LOL! Good one Am. You should've said that on April Fool's. Psh, pass Science. As if! Oh and, it's nice to know that you'd strangle your own best friend to read something you're not even interested in. I feel special :') BTW, Am, "I GOT MORE REVIEWS!" LoL 12:00 midnight, I'm at the computer screaming "I GOT MORE REVIEWS!" I also found out that there are people who have me in their faves but never reviewed. Wow. More people that like my story. I'm so happy! One of those people is also named Amanda and she has the same eye and hair color as you Am, but she doesn't fall asleep during Danny Phantom. You hear that people?Am sleeps during DP! Strangle her! LoL Anyway, this is WAY too long of a response so I'm gonna end it here.

Angel Of Forgotton Souls: LoL, plain and simple. Yep, Star knows now and it's not a good thing.

Fantastic Bouncy Girl: Glad you're back. LoL, thanks. I think this story gets better with each chapter, but my favorite part is the end.

phantomshadowdragon: Ember's got a Danny Phantom replica. What better way to ruin his reputation with Amity Park than to use it? So, as to the question of, will she use it again, my answer is . . . read on my friend. And Star, one word . . . blackmail :D I'm starting to feel sorry for Danny. I, the writer, should give him a break. But then there would be no story :)

JD Phoenix: LoL, lucky for you the story's complete or you would have to suffer with the wait.there are a few twists in this story, some unexpected. Let's see if you can predict any of them.

V1rg1n1a: Sam feels exactly the same way. But Star might actually be useful to Danny. Or she might drive him to a point of insanity. You'll just have to see.


Amity's Hero

Chapt 7- "I Know A Secret"

Star closed her eyes and opened them again. She wasn't imagining it. The geek whom she had always thought of as anything but unique was now flying about fifteen feet above her.

"And don't forget . . ."

Star snapped out of her thoughts. She heard Danny's voice and looked up at him. He had his arms in the air and his hands were glowing.

". . . my name is Danny Phantom!"

What he did next awed her. He thrust his hands through the air in a downward motion the light glowing in his hands followed his movement. It grew larger like a blade and cut through the ground. It hit the ghosts and left a crevice in the ground that must've been at least five feet deep. She ran behind the garbage can she knocked over earlier and watched. The ghosts were retreating. Two blue rings formed around Danny again and Star jumped in shock. She wasn't used to that yet. Once back to the way she remembered him, Danny ran away.

Star sat behind the garbage can and stared ahead.

"Danny? Danny's the ghost kid that's been destroying Amity Park? But he can't be!" she muttered to herself. "He's a loser! There's no way he'd ever be . . . No! It's impossible."

She took out her phone and began to dial Paulina's number. No one answered so she tried again. While she was dialing, thoughts began to fill her baffled mind again.

Danny may be a nerd, but he's not evil. Inviso-Bill is. There's no way they can both be the same guy, she thought. She was about to finish dialing when she decided to close her phone and get up.

"Maybe I was seeing things. Whatever. I'll deal with it in school tom—"

She paused and looked back at the rubble.

"Well, I'll deal with it some other time. Okay, now I have to stop talking to myself, 'cause this does not bold well for a popular girl. People are gonna think I'm psychotic," she added, pocketing her phone and walking away.

At the Nasty Burger

"Danny!" Sam said eagerly when Danny walked through the doors of the Nasty Burger. He ran over to them.

"I knew you'd be here," Danny said, sitting down at their table. He looked at Tucker who was, once again, stuffing his face.

"Whoa, what happened to you?" he asked, noticing a large cut under Danny's left eye.

"Are you okay?" Sam added. Danny nodded.

"I ran into Plasmius."

Tucker choked on the fries he just swallowed and Sam tried to help him. After a few minutes of coughing, he sat back down and took a deep breath.

"PLASMIUS?"

"Yeah," Danny moaned, resting his head on his hands. "And Skulker . . . and Ember. . . and about thirty other ghosts that I didn't want to fight."

"Well, you got out alive," Tucker said, hoping to make them a bit happier. When that didn't work, he continued eating. The doors opened and Danny turned around, practically falling off the edge of his seat in fear of seeing a ghost. Instead, he saw Valerie, Paulina, and Star walk in.

"Star?" Sam questioned. "When I was trying to find Tucker, I saw her talking to Paulina. She said she was going home. Why is she here?"

Valerie and Paulina were talking. It almost seemed as though they were friends again. Maybe they were.

Star, on the other hand, stopped paying attention to them as soon as she walked in. Instead, she began looking around, as if hoping to see something, or find someone.

Her eyes locked with Danny's and she gasped and jumped back in alarm. Danny did the same when he saw her reaction and ended up jumping into the edge of the table.

"What? What happened?" Valerie asked frantically, looking around and clutching her book bag firmly (just incase). Paulina stared at Star.

"What is with you?" she asked, helping her up. "You've been paranoid the entire trip here. Are you sure you're okay?"

"I'm fine," Star replied, turning away from Danny and walking to the counter to order something.

"What's her problem?" Sam asked. "She looked as if she'd seen a ghost."

"Well she did," Tucker said, taking another bite out of his burger. "She just didn't know it."

"Whatever," Danny sighed, turning back to them. "I don't blame her. Everyone's getting jumpy lately. Oh and, by the way, Vlad has another power."

Sam moaned. "Great, what's this one?"

"He can absorb my attacks and reflect them back at me. I wasn't able to hit him once in our battle earlier."

"This day just gets better and better," Sam said gloomily.

Just as Danny was about to continue, Paulina, Valerie, and Star walked by. He turned his head to look at them, but regretted doing that because they stopped as soon as they saw him.

"What happened to you?" Paulina asked, noticing the cut under his eye.

He turned away quickly and muttered, "I injured myself in school."

She paused and then walked away. Star glanced at Danny and then followed.

"Hey Tucker," Valerie said sweetly when she noticed her boyfriend sitting across Danny. She only started dating him to get more information on ghosts, but as each day passed, she felt herself grow more attached to him. Tucker swallowed and smiled.

"Hey Val. What's up?"

"Valerie!" Paulina called. Valerie rolled her eyes.

"Sorry, gotta go. Bye."

She walked away and joined her friends.

"Did my ears deceive me or was Valerie actually being nice?" Sam wondered aloud. Tucker, who was ready to take another bite, stopped and glared at her.

"You should get to know her," he said. Sam laughed.

"Not gonna happen."

"Going to," Danny corrected. She paused and turned to him. He gave her a quizzical expression and then gasped. "AH! I'm turning into Lancer!"

"Thank you for that wonderful insult," Sam said in hope of making Danny realize that she also corrected grammar often. He smiled innocently and Sam turned away. She saw the clock on one of the walls by the door and jumped up.

"Two o'clock! Oh my gosh! I was supposed to help my mom with something. I have to go. Bye," she said quickly, grabbing her bag and running out. Her friends watched her with the same confused expressions. They looked at each other, shrugged, and continued their business.

About five minutes later, Tucker got up and joined Valerie. Paulina left and Star was sitting at the table alone. She spotted Danny and walked over to him.

"Hey," she said casually, sitting down. Danny stared at her awkwardly and then looked around, expecting to see one of her popular friends behind him. "I'm talking to you, genius," she said impatiently. Danny looked back at her.

"Me? You're talking to an unpopular, stupid, and clumsy person? I'm not imagining things?"

"I have a reason, Fenton," she said in her usually snobbish tone. "I've heard that you're friends with Inviso-Bill."

Danny didn't say anything. Star smiled. He could tell he looked nervous so he tried to find his voice and speak.

"What? Me? I'm not friends with—"

"Yes you are. I always see him with Sam and Tucker. And if he's with them, he must know you too."

Danny paused. Star continued to stare at him.

"He's their friend. Not mine."

"But you know him."

"Barely."

"Good. Barely is better than nothing."

Danny didn't like where this was going. Why was Star suddenly interested in his alter ego?

"Danny!" Tucker called. Danny looked up, relieved to see something other than Star. He could feel heat rising in his face. Tuck was gesturing for him to come sit with them, but Danny knew better. Valerie would never sit with him. She was probably trying to get information about ghosts. He got up anyway. Valerie's never asked him about Inviso-Bill before so he wasn't too worried.

As soon as he got up, Star grabbed his shirt and pulled him back.

"Wait, Danny," she said.

"I've gotta go," Danny said quickly, trying to get away. Star let go of him, but she smiled and folded her arms. Danny looked at her quizzically. She noticed and whispered something in a sing-song voice. . .

"I know a secret . . ."
