Yasu? Tikanis? Kala? Ohi Kala? Back to English. What's up? Yes, I have updated sooner (much sooner) than I said I would . . . AGAIN. Have you ever noticed that whenever I say it's gonna take a while for me to update, it takes only 2 or 3 days? Weird o.0 Anyway, last chapter updated was on 4/4/05.This chapt was updated 4/6/05. Not bad. ALSO, this chapter doesn't have much of Star in it, but there is something interesting in it. And I know I'm gonna need something stronger than a baseball bat to protect myself this time. LoL. Okay, onto my very important reviewers.

Purrbaby101: "Now happy late birthday!" THANKS! (sob) I'm so old! OMG! You love the plot! (faint) I am sooooooooooooooooooo cheerful Thanks again for the review!

Hearts of Eternity: LoL Nice simile. You're not the only one who suggested the idea of Danny confronting her as Inviso-Bill. There's a strong possibility that I might use that :D You're hooked! I'm happier than I was five seconds ago. And don't go crazy because I do not want to be hunted down. I don't want to experience what Danny's going through. Oh my gosh Oh my gosh Oh my gosh!You really love this story todeath? I'm even happier than I was two seconds ago when I was happier than I was the five seconds before that!

Liaranne: Glad you're enjoying it. I thought Star was too unimportant in the plot so I made her a noticed character. Thanks for the review!

I have NEVER met a person dumb enough to review a story before they read it. You are very special Am. I just made your day by calling you dumb didn't I? Oh and Am, tomorrow at school, I'm going to give you a list of grammatical errors that I found in your review. :P And try READING the story before you review. :) (Amanda: "Yeah, like that's gonna happen")

CLUELESS PEOPLE FOREVER!

Neko-Salosa: Yay! You're another person who loves my FF :D Thank you! Yes, Vlad is scary. But looking at him scares me more. I thought I'd never find anyone that ugly o.0 (no offense to the Vlad-fans, but I HATE him!) He's eeeeviiil! Um . . . thanks for the review!

Asilla: Eeh! It's a grand story? I feel so special :') And you're one of my grand reviewers :D And I'm sure we all agree that Star has a big mouth. Thanks for the review!

SashaJeanneW0lf: Don't worry SJW, I'm weird too. VERY weird. (sigh) (stares at Danny doll) Grr, I can't hit Danny. And bats are cute. Creepy and scary, but cute. Wolves and rabbits rock! Don't ask how this has anything to do with DP 'cause I don't know. Anyway, we are amongst weird people (cough) Amanda (cough) so do not feel ashamed. (grabs Danny doll and runs — into a wall)

Wishing For Rain: Yep, Star is now a major part of the plot because (repeats Star's sing-song voice) she knows a secret. I was going to update one of the chapters sooner, but the server was down so I couldn't. So, you people had to wait another day. I hate when that happens. Ok, back onto Chapter 8!

Fantastic Bouncy Girl: Ooh lala, maybe she is? LoL, you're lucky you're reading this afterI finished it or you'd have to wait with that evil cliffie.

V1rg1n1a: LoL, let's keep this rated K+ Gin. No crossbows allowed (save it for Alternative. That one's rated T, so you'll be allowed to do whatever you want to her)

Cakreut12, wake up! I'll get the science HW if I have to! (shudders)


Amity's Hero

Chapt 8- Dream

Danny's heart skipped a beat. Star continued smiling at him. He sat down unwillingly and looked at her.

"Secret? What secret?"

Star's smile grew larger. She unfolded her arms and leaned on the table.

"So, tell me more about Danny Phantom."

Danny gasped. His eyes grew wide and he felt as though he just dislocated his jaw. He tried to say something, but over a million thoughts rushed into his head.

Does Star know? Was she the one making the noise that I heard when fighting Ember? How does she know who I am? Everyone knows me as Inviso-Bill. Does she know I'm a ghost? Will she tell?

Suddenly aware that Star was watching him, Danny closed his mouth immediately and snapped out of his thoughts. He took a deep breath and spoke.

"W-Who's Danny Phantom?"

"You know . . . white hair, green eyes . . . Inviso-Bill?"

Danny tried to look confused. Star's expression didn't change. She still had that triumphant smile on her face and she didn't blink once in the past two minutes.

"I don't know what you're talking about."

Finally, Star turned around. Danny's eyes were beginning to water from trying not to blink. Her smile didn't disappear.

"Listen Fenton, I'm gonna make this quick," she said, abandoning her calm voice and looking back at him. "You're weird. You've been weird since the accident. Yes, I know about the accident," she added, seeing Danny's stunned expression. "Whenever I'm around you, the temperature drops by about twenty degrees. You dropped about thirty-four beakers in the month after the accident. Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't those the signs of a ghost? Colder air even when it's seventy degrees, beakers falling through your hands constantly . . . ?"

"I've always been clumsy. And about the temperature drop . . ."

Danny paused. He couldn't think of an excuse. He hadn't even noticed the fact that the air turned cold around him. That was probably just because he was used to it. Why didn't Sam and Tucker tell him?

"Hello?"

Danny snapped out of his thoughts and saw Star waving her hand in front of his face.

"Huh?"

"Ugh! The point is I've been noticing some strange things about you. And trust me, I'm not good at keeping secrets. Watch yourself Fenton. I'll be keeping an eye on you."

With that, she turned on her heel and walked away. Danny watched her leave. When she was gone, he banged his head into the table and moaned.

Danny couldn't sleep that night. He kept thinking about what Star said. When did she hear him say Danny Phantom? Perhaps it was her behind one of the buildings when Ember's attack missed him. Whatever it was, Danny knew one thing — there was a 99 chance that Star knew who . . . well, what he was.

Whatever happened, he would have to straighten it out tomorrow. Danny checked his watch. It was 1:07 AM. He yawned and closed his eyes.

Danny looked around the hall, watching the passing students. He knew each and every one of them had something unique about them. It was his first week of high school and he was already depressed.

While growing up, he found many things that were different about Sam and Tucker. Sam was a vegetarian Goth who liked herself the way she was and Tucker was a technology-obsessed carnivore. One only ate vegetables and the other only ate meat. Danny, on the other hand, ate both and didn't really have anything unique about him. As he grew up, he felt more different than anyone. As hard as he tried, he couldn't find something inimitable about him. He didn't even have a reason for being a geek.

"Danny, are you okay?" Sam asked. Danny looked at her and smiled.

"Yeah, I'm fine."

That was lie. The more he watched the passing students, the more alone he felt. He didn't know why he cared so much, but he was determined to find something he didn't have in common with others.

"I know that look," Tucker said. "'Trying to find something unique about yourself?"

Danny nodded slowly.

"Don't worry," Sam said in her reassuring voice. "I'm sure you'll find something different about you eventually."

There was a flash of light and the school disappeared. Danny was now in his kitchen. He looked around and saw his mother and father. They both looked miserable.

"I don't understand what went wrong," Jack Fenton said to his wife. He sighed. "Well, I guess we can try again."

Danny knew what they were referring to. They had been working on building that portal since their college days and they were sure they had gotten it to work this time. When they tried to activate it, it didn't work. They kept rambling on about all of their hard work gone to waste and so many years spent on it. Danny didn't want to admit it, but he was curious to see the ghost dimension. He continued to watch his parents.

Suddenly, a determined feeling swept through him. He looked at the door leading to the lab.

Once again, there was another flash of light. The kitchen faded away and the lab was now the setting. Danny took a deep breath and stared into the portal. He looked at the clock on the wall. It was 10:15 AM. The portal looked dark and endless, but he stepped into it anyway. One thing he knew was that he usually thought of others before himself and would do anything to make those he cared for happy (even if it meant risking his life).

"How hard could this be?" he muttered, trying to gather his courage as he turned on his flashlight and made his way through the portal.

After spending five minutes inside of it, he decided to turn back. However, as soon as he took another step forward, he tripped over a long wire.

Thinking quickly, Danny leaned his hand against the wall to prevent himself from falling. As soon as he stood up, he noticed that the small lines on the walls of the portal were beginning to glow a neon green color.

"What the heck?"

Danny took a step back. He didn't know what was happening, but as soon as he turned to run back, green light filled the passage and he closed his eyes in pain. Almost instantly, another pain swept through him and he opened his eyes without noticing.

It took him a few seconds to realize he was screaming at the top of his lungs. His entire body was shaking, vibrating. He felt his blood become colder. His heart stopped beating for a second and then a stronger vibration swept through him — it felt as though his molecules reversed directions and then switched back.

The only thing he was able to see was a blinding green light. The only thing he was able to think about was death.

There was another flash of light, but this one was blue and it kept going on and off, making him feel more blinded than ever. In a few seconds, he felt his entire body become as light as a feather . . . literally. It felt as though the temperature had dropped to the negatives and a few seconds after, he felt himself collide with the ground beneath him and saw nothing but darkness.

Danny opened his eyes slowly and saw the ceiling of the portal. It looked the same as before except energy was flowing through it. Danny rubbed his head and sat up.

"I-I'm alive?" he whispered, looking at his hands. He was wearing white gloves. He couldn't remember why, but something seemed wrong about that. Before he could try to figure out what happened, a computer-like voice echoed through the portal.

"Warning: Five minutes until ghost dimension activation."

Danny screamed and jumped up. He still felt light and cold, but that didn't worry him now. A small square-like object was hanging on the wall. The numbers 00:04:58 were blinking on it. He tried to run, but he had no energy.

The familiar blue light appeared around him again and he felt his body become heavier. Feeling as if an anvil was just dropped on him, Danny fell back down immediately. He was about to fall asleep when the door to the lab opened and his parents and Jasmine ran in. He heard their frantic shouts and felt his mother helping him up. They dragged him out of the portal before the ghost dimension was opened. He had a chance to look at the clock and saw that it was 1:32 PM. He was obviously alone when the accident happened.

Just like before, the old scene faded and Danny now found himself in his room the day after the accident. Jazz was at school and his parents went to get some medicine for him. He had woken up two hours ago and was sitting on his bed without a care in the world. The accident scared him, but ever since the day before, the only thing that changed was that he now had half the usual pulse and half the knowledge he used to.

"What's going on?" Danny asked, opening his textbook and flipping through the pages. He understood all of this a few days ago. Now he felt as though he knew nothing. He was still cold, but not as cold as he was during the accident.

Suddenly, while flipping through the pages, the two familiar blue lights surrounded Danny again and he felt himself become light once more. He screamed in shock and dropped the book, but as soon as he did so, he fell right through the bed and floor. Once in the kitchen, Danny felt himself become solid and landed on the table and rolled off. He jumped up quickly and looked around. He was still light, but not as light as he had been in the past two days (Well, 1 ½ to be exact).

Danny took a deep breath and looked up. There was no hole. He just fell through the floor. He stared at the ceiling for a while and then smacked himself.

"I'm dreaming. This is all just a dream," he muttered uncertainly. He closed his eyes and opened them again. He was still in the kitchen.

"Gagh! This CAN'T be real!"

Danny turned around to walk back upstairs, but he saw a thermometer hanging on the wall. His parents put it there incase ghosts were nearby. They'd be able to sense them by the temperature difference.

He walked by it on his way to the living room. From the corner of his eye, Danny was able to see the temperature drop. He paused and looked at it. The closer he came, the quicker it dropped.

"What the—?"

When he was a foot away from it, the temperature dropped to eighteen degrees. Danny was stunned. It had been sixty five degrees a few seconds ago. He raised his hand and touched it. In a split second, the temperature dropped down to zero. He saw a reflection in the glass. It looked like him except with lighter hair. Danny screamed in shock and ran out of the kitchen. He dashed upstairs and ran into the bathroom.

Closing the door behind him, he turned around to face the mirror. He gasped when he saw the reflection. It was him, except with a black and white suit and pure white hair. His eyes were still blue. Danny closed them in hopes of seeing his normal reflection when he looked back in the mirror.

He opened his eyes and saw the same thing. However, now, his eyes were a bright green color. He took a few seconds to stare at himself. Then . . .

"AAAAAAAAAH!"

Danny woke up with a start. He was screaming the loudest he had ever screamed. That was exactly the volume of his shout when he saw his reflection. He stopped immediately and covered his mouth with his hands. In a matter of seconds, all the lights on the block were turned on and people began looking through their windows.

Danny's bedroom door was slammed open and Maddie ran in, holding a bazooka. Jack followed her with a GRC ready. Jazz caught up shortly after.

"Danny! Are you okay?"

Danny turned to her quickly and saw that his parents and sister froze. They all stared at him with the same terrified expression. He was breathing heavily and turned away from them. He looked at the window to see his reflection. Danny Phantom was what he saw.
