First day jitters

"See you later, guys. I have to get to the Spirit Club meeting. Try to stay awake, Danny! You look so tired you could drop dead on the floor and sink into the ground." Said Jazz as she went to park the emerald green Taros.

"She's right Danny. You do look terrible! You're never going to get your grades up in time for mid-terms." Said Tucker as he tried to get the latest scores of a new game called Tales of Dreamers Challenges to pop up on his PDA.

Sam rolled her eyes and scoffed. She put her arm on Danny's back and said reassuringly " Danny I know its hasn't been easy on you with all the late night ghost hunting, but if you flunk the mid terms Friday only two things are going to happen. 1. Your parents are going to ground you for life and 2. Mr. Lancer not going to give you a chance to do better. Do you want to have to repeat ninth grade again? Well do you? Danny. Danny? DANNY!!!!" she said as she shook him to since he had fallen asleep standing up. Sam was extremely angry with this.

"Huh, what Sam Stop! I'm awake. I can't believe its almost time to take the mid term exams. I'm so not prepared!" he said as he held his head between his hands and violently shook it.

"You haven't study?! Danny this is going to cost us 75 of grade for the whole year! Our futures are on the line and you haven't STUDY????? ARE YOU CRAZY?!" spat Tuck

"Tuck you know its not easy! Between school, chores, meals, ghost hunting, homework. I barely have time to brush my teeth and sleep let alone study!!!" Danny said with his arms flaying

"Well I thought Jazz was helping you. What about those tapes and CDs you are supposed to listen to in your sleep? Are those helping?" inquiry Sam

"Not really! I've been only getting like three hours slumber this past weekend. Walker 's jailbirds flew the coop and guess who had to round them up? ME!!!" Sighing sadly, "I really wish I had someone to help me with the ghost hunting. Someone like me. But lets face facts the only other halfa is Vald Plasmius

And he wants my mom to be his and my dad six feet under pushing up daisies!" laughing half heartily

"Well cheerfulness up Danny, things is bound to get better." Said Sam

"I don't mean to rupture you bubble Sam but how?" he said staring at his dirty old sneaks

"Guys, looks at that!" shout Tuck as he point to the street as a brand new silver Mercedes pulled up.

Danny raised his head and dropped his books and let his mouth hang open. Out of the car stepped a beautiful girl surrounded by a unique aura. She was the most beautiful thing he had every laid eyes on. She was hotter than Paulina!

She had curves in all the right places and her complexion was flawless. Her hair was soft as silk and smooth as satin. She had a very warm smile and you could tell this girl was sweet like sugar and nice as spices.

Their eyes locked on each other for a few minutes before she wave good-bye to who ever were in the car. She then disappeared into the crowd and Danny was left staring at the spot where she had been two sec ago.

"Danny, Danny, DANNY!!!!! Come on we got to get to our lockers and get to homeroom! Lets go!!" said Tucker as they scrambled to the door.

They left but all Danny could think about was that girl. For some reason his heart was beating faster and he felt tremendously happy?

At the office Danielle was trying to keep her cool. She knocked on the door. When no one answered after 5 minutes she walked in.

The secretary was a red head wearing a yellow top and a black skirt. She was trying to solve a rubix cube and talk French into the head set. The name on the plate was Carrie Danta

" Excuse me, Ms. Danta? Ms. Danta?" she said impatience in her voice

She was getting annoyed. The water in the fish tank behind the desk began to bubble and the glass began to crack. When she failed yet again to get the lady attention the tank exploded!

"Oh My god! Mr. Lancer going to kill me if those fish die! They came all the way from the Caribbean!" screamed a panicked Ms. Danta as she began to clean the mess up. Danielle knowing it was her fault ran and got a bucket of water and put the fish into.

"Thanks, Sorry I didn't notice you before. My mind just not here today." Apologized Ms. Danta

"Its understandable. I be a bit distracted if my boyfriend was busy studying in Paris too." Said Danielle

"How you know that?" asked the secretary dazed

"I know French and many other languages for that matter. And there was the e-mail letter and picture pointing to a photo of a tall scarlet head boy with sea green eyes in front of the Effile Tower on your desk Written the corner was "To my dearest Cherie with all my love till we can be together in the city of undying love again Jericho Destine."

"Yes, it can be painful to so far apart. It feels like we're worlds apart not miles. So what to you need? It would help if I had your name." Asked Ms. Danta

"My name is Danielle, Danielle Fantana. I'm new. Just transferred in. I need a scheduled and I also need to know where my locker is. So can you help me?" she explained

"Here you go better hurry class starts in ten minutes Have a nice day!" as she got back to work.

Danielle hurried down the hall. She was taken in the sights and sounds for first time. She was very jumpy being around real people. The only human she been around was her mom. But her mom was a grown up and these, these were teenagers. Also her telepathy was giving her a hard time. She kept making eye contact with people and then she tried to close her eyes.

That was a blunder. She ran smack dab into Danny and the fell on top one another their books and stuff went flying.

"I'm so sorry! Let me get those for you." Said Danny as he quickly gathered things up.

"No it's my fault! I should've watch were I was going" apologized Danielle

They both reached for the same book at the same time and their hands touched. They looked into the other 's blue eyes and blush so hard they looked like rubies. This was the first time each halfa had met. Danny didn't know it but he was looking a natural born halfa!

"Thanks. I'm usually not this klutzy! I guess I'm just nervous. Its is my first day of school." Said the attractive girl in her musical voice.

"Its perfectly understandable. Hey I get nerves to if I was new too in school. Need some help getting your locker open?" chuckled Danny apprehensively

She smiled at him and said sweetly "Yes, that be nice. And it really is my first day in school. I've never been in a school of any kind before. The greatest scholars and thinkers in the world have taught me before." She got things settle in her locker.

"Wait a minute, you never been in school ever? You been home school? Now that's cool! Just think you can goof off all time and snack all day and have fun. You got it made why in the world would you give all that up to came to Casper High?" said Tucker as he fantasized what being home school be like. He and Sam had just appeared.

"Sorry but home school is no walk in the park! I'd have homework everyday and it took me four hours to complete. I need to do a lot of extra credit. Plus there were my other lessons. But anyway I've been yakking away and I don't even know your names so what are they and could you help me understand this schedule?" asked Danielle

"I'm Danny Fenton, this is Tucker Foley and Sam Madison and you are?" asked Danny He was most eager to find out what this girl name was and anything else.

"Name is Danielle, Danielle Fantana. It a real pleasure to meet you all." She said as she did a swift crusty

A warning bell went off signaling that they only had a minute to get to class.

"We better jam! We can't be late for Mr. Lancer 's class again!" said Sam as she cut and run followed by Tuck

Danny took a quick peek at Danielle 's schedule and was surprised. "You and I have all the same class. Just follow me. As the just barely made into Mr. Lancer 'class

Danny quickly took his seat and opened his English book. Just then Mr. Lancer came in. He was yet again reading a book that he hoped would help him "Talk the Lingo of Teens"

"Ok class listens up! Before we finish studying Great play writers of the ages I like to introduce our new student Danielle Fantana! I hope you little ingrates will treat her with more respect then you give me. Now would you like to tell us a little about yourself, because you have five minutes starting now?

She stared at Danny and the other kids. She then said in a terrified voice and confident look in her eyes. " My name is Danielle Fantana. I have a little sister named Gabby. My parents you could say are involved with politics. I'm living currently at 2015 Sprite Lane with my guardians the Canmores. I hope to make some friends and enjoy my time here at Casper High thank you."

As she took her seat she could feel the kids eyes burning a hole in her. Boys were looking at her hoping for a date and girls were looking to see if she was competition. She felt like a freak. But when she looked into Danny reassuring sky-blue eyes she felt fine. She surprised everyone with her superior intelligence and the day went fine till lunch.

She was looking over the cafeteria trying to find a place to sit. She spotted Danny and his friends. "Ok if I really want to make friend with these guys I've got to try and be a friend. Be myself. I can do this." She thought in her head. Smiling she walk over to the gang. Each was eating different things. Danny was eating chicken nuggets and tatter tots with a diet soda, Tucker was eating sloppy Joes and chips with a Dr. Pepper and Sam was having celery carrots and peas with water. "Danielle you are absolutely welcome to sit with us." Said Sam.

"Thanks you very much. I've enjoyed the morning very much. English, Math, Biology, History, Gym. It all very excellent." She remarked as she ate her lunch.

"What I want to know is how you got so smart! And how much cash you got. I mean if your parents are able to own a Mercedes you must be rolling in the dough!" exclaimed Tucker.

"I told you I was very well tutor and I've read a lot of books. As for my family assets that none of your beeswax, Tucker!" she shot him a mean look.

"What kind of food is that I never seen that on the cafeteria menu. Sam you didn't alter it again? Not after last time!!" exclaimed Danny

"No I didn't," she said as she grab Danny by the scruff of his shirt and hissed in his ear. "Nay on the ghost stuff!"

"Excuse me I brought my own lunch. Pouched quail eggs, roast chestnut and pheasant. It is what I normally have for lunch at home. Danny I think I can help you." She said to him as she ate her pheasant.

"Help me what?" he said mystified

"Ace the exams! Come by my house today after school and we can cram for two hours then we can all go to the mall. It will be entertaining." She said as she sipped her cranberry juice

"That would be grea…." He said as a puff of blue smoke came out his mouth. He quickly covered his mouth and Sam and Tuck knew what that sign meant all to well. A ghost was a foot. They were all so busy with Danny that the fail to see a sliver of lavender smokes come out of Danielle mouth. She quick got up and wept her face and said, "I got to go to the bathroom guys! See you in Language class!" Both she and Danny went to the bathroom and went to ghost mode. They zoomed off to the storage room where they find no else but that idiotic Box Ghost throwing boxes everywhere.

"I'm the Box Ghost! I will make you all tremble at the weight of." He stopped to look at the box he was floating "Ah yes! I will recycle you all by using your own recycle bins against you! Beware!" said the annoying urchin.

"No not you again! José you must be the most annoying ghost every as well as the most lame! What kind of ghost has power over boxes! You are such a dork!" said Danny as he flared off an ectoplasms energy blast knocking off two of the giant bins.

This only annoyed the Box Ghost. He summoned every box in the room and hurtle them at the ghost boy. Danny used his newly acquired shield but it was being obliterate as he got hammered "I will not be trapped again in you circle tube of doom again!" he laugh manically

"IT CALLED A THREMOS YOU DOLT!" Screamed Danny, as he was about to plunder by huge boxes. The box plummeted towards him. He closed his eyes tight when all sudden when the boxes were an inch from his body they shift and hit the Box Ghost exploding on contact!

"How do you like having your power used against you. You're more of a pain than little brothers and sisters! I mean no human or ghost can stand you!!!!!! Why don't you stay on your side of the line!" Comment a feminism voice. Danny did a 180 and gasped! He blinked to make sure he wasn't seeing things. Hovering three feet above him was a girl. She looked like him. Snow white waist length hair. Glowing green eyes and she wore a black and white jump suit just like his! Only hers had a skirt. She held out a hand and helps him up.

"Looks like you could use some help, Danny Phantom! And I'm just the girl to help! Get behind the moron and shoot off an ectoblastic. That will distract him and I'll get him with a frontal assault. Then trap him in the thermos!" she said in quick order.

He knew there was no time to argue so he did as he was told and it worked. The annoying pest was soon gone.

"Thanks for the help. What's your name?" He stuttered

"Phantasm, Danielle Phantasm. It was a pleasure to finally meet you Danny Phantom." She said as she shook his hand.

"How do you know my name? And where to you come from? And how you get your powers? And how did you get here?" he asked bewildered.

" 1. I know your name because where I'm from everyone knows your name. 2. I came from the Ghost Zone. 3. I was born with these powers. And 4. I came through the portal. Look I'm not a bad ghost who trying to do malevolence. I'm trying to be first-rate lass and bring to an end to the troublemakers. See you later Phantom!" she said as she flew to ceiling and vanished after blowing him a kiss.

He blushed and then shouted, "How will I find you?"

The reply came right in his mind. "YOU WON'T FIND ME, I 'LL FIND YOU, SEE YOU LATER CUTIE!"

He quickly changed back and hurried off to class. He whispers to Sam and Tuck they need to talk after school.

"A Ghost Girl? You must be dreaming Danny! But she sound so hot! Oww!" said Tucker as Sam wallops him.

"You think your so smart, Tucker. Come think of it! After all the things we seen, how can we deny that what Danny saw was not real! But do you think there any chance that this Danielle Phantasm and Danielle Fantana are one and the same, Danny? I mean their names are similar."

"I don't think so, she didn't give off my ghost sense at all. Can you believe all this homework we got. I've got to cut something and it can't be ghost hunting or homework! Ohh!" he said as slammed his fist on his locker, which went intangible, and he sank into his locker. "Ahh! Have got to watch that! I would so not want Danielle to see that. She'll think I'm a freak!"

There was some giggling form behind him. "Now Danny why do think I that I would think you're a freak? You've been the nicest gentleman to me all day! Beside I'm not hypercritical. So could you get my locker open please? I've got like ten seconds to get out of here and wait for my ride. And believe me my driver doesn't like to wait! She demands I be on time. So 3:35 ok with you guys? Oh Danny your sister is so nice and helpful." She said as she put away her books

"You met Jazz?" he said bamboozle

"Well yeah! Being president of the Casper High Spirit Club it's her obligation to meet the latest students. Well look at the time got to jet! See you guys in awhile." As she ran down the corridor.

All Danny could do was look as she vanishes from sight. He could feel his body reacting to the hormonal increase. He just knew that he and Danielle had a connection and he was going to find everything about. This was more than a crush this was love. Because they definitely had chemistry going on! But he could not forget Phantasm could he? Was she really his ally? And was he attracted to her too? Well best thing to do now was go to her house and study!!

Danielle got into the Mercedes and smiled and let out a sigh.

"Well Princess how was your first day of school? I hope you didn't get into to much trouble with your powers. Did you make any friends?" asked Gwen

"It was grand! I actually fought my first ghost! And I met him!!!!!" Squealed Danielle

"Him? You don't mean?" asked Gwen

"Yep Danny Phantom! We are in all the same classes and our lockers are right next each other. He so charming! And his friends are so cool too! Their coming over to study and then we're going to the mall! I can't wait!!" she said merry

"Well I better get some snacks!" said Gwen

"Yes let run!" she shouted
