I do not own Danny Phantom. But I DO own Rayna and her family, and any other characters that you won't recognize. Okay, that's it, so here are the review praises:

none: Thanks for reviewing. I am glad that you like my story.

Ami M. Mercury: I don't remember her saying anything about losing individuality. I think you meant when her powers went haywire. Thanks for reviewing.

Zaneta: Thanks for reviewing! I really liked your story! And I am glad that you liked mine.

Anomaly25: Thanks for reviewing. I wish to continue this story until it's over. It is powered by reviews, so I hope those keep coming in.


Chapter 2: First Encounter

I called my parents and asked if I could spend the night at Sam's house. They happily agreed, which I found odd, since I didn't think that they knew who Sam was. But, anyway...

Sam and I stayed up quite late, considering that I had school in the morning. Danny and Tucker had gone home at around eight, saying something like letting the girls have some time to bond. When I had first seen Sam, she seemed that she would be really mean; on the contrary! We also have a lot in common: we're both vegetarians, we both have the same birthday(July 27th!), and many other little things.

For the first hour or two, she seemed real nervous, but that went away. I made her levitate down the stairs, and she described the feeling for me. "A cloud of smoke," she has described it as. I did other little things like that, and she seemed to enjoy it.

It was around eleven o' clock, and I was getting tired. I wanted to sleep, but I remembered what happened if I fell asleep sometimes. I slightly lost control of my powers. I didn't want to break anything of Sam's. I forced myself to stay awake, even long after Sam went to sleep. The room seemed to be spinning, but then I looked down, and I was levitating, spinning in the air.

I fell asleep, just once and only for a minute. I woke to hear a tinkling of glass, and discovered a wisp of green smoke lingering by one of Sam's chimes. It was shaped like a person, though. It was a little girl, with torn clothes that looked burnt, and she was quietly crying. A ghost! I thought. I hovered over to her. Maybe she'd think that I was a ghost, too and not be afraid.

"It's okay... you'll be alright." I whispered soothingly to the child. She turned her head, then shrieked. A different figure jumped through the wall, and grabbed her. I decided to follow it, so I opened Sam's window and flew out.

The thing was fast. I could still hear the child crying though. I felt so sorry for her. First, having to die at such a young age, then being taken to who-knows-where by someone she didn't even know. Then, I saw her flying towards me. I put my arms out, and caught her. I cradled her in my arms like a newborn baby, and cooed softly to her. For several moments I flew, until I reached the park. There, I floated softly down beside the lake.

The girl nuzzled me, and looked at me for the first time. At that point, all I could think of was her. She was so cute, next to her burns and bruises. She looked at me, grinned, then looked at the lake. She floated out of my arms, and started walking toward the lake. Her little hand gestured for me to follow her, so I did. I couldn't concentrate, so I walked. But I felt like I was floating, floating higher than I ever could on my own. The little girl reached the edge of the lake, and started floating just above the edge.

I kept following. I needed to watch out for her. I reached the edge, but just kept going. I could feel the cold water lapping my legs through my pajama pants, but I didn't really care. Before I knew it, the water was at my chin. There, I realized something: I couldn't stop! My feet kept walking. My bran kept telling them to move forward. The water was well over my head, and I was losing consciousness when I felt a strong hand on my wrist.


A bright light was shining into my eyes when I awoke. My eyes shot open, only to discover Danny, Sam, Tucker, Maddie and Jack hovering over me. I was in a basement, and a clock on the wall read 3:14 AM. Maddie noticed that I was awake, and smiled at me. "Dear, are you alright?" she asked in a worried tone. I nodded. Jack sorta jumped me. "Did you see a GHOST!?" he shouted. "Um, I think so." He pointed to an orange-haired girl sitting in the corner and laughed in a mocking way. She looked up from the book she was reading, and rolled her eyes.

Jack asked me many questions, a lot of which I did not know the answer to, so he left as did Maddie a little while later, making sure if I needed anything. I said no, so she smiled and left. "Rayna, are you alright?" Sam asked. I nodded my head 'yes.' "Why did you leave my house?!" she asked. "There was a ghost child, and I followed her cause a thing took her. I felt sorry for her, so I followed." I answered simply.

Sam looked at Danny with a look that said 'What did you do?' Danny stared back. "I took her, cause she's a shape shifting master of evil!" Danny answered. My eyes got big. "W-what?" I stammered. "She's got very strong powers, and I had to get rid of her. She would've killed you." he answered, putting a firm hand on my shoulder. I smiled. My friends really cared about me.


We all stayed the rest of the night at Danny's house. When morning came 'round, Maddie made us a big breakfast. Danny stared in amazement. I looked at him. Oh, SURE! You make a big breakfast when we have company! He thought. It consisted of a lot of meaty things, which I steered clear of, but there was enough there that I could eat a lot, too. I ate till I was full, gathered up my things, and walked to the bus with my friends.


Lucky me... I had to come into school just when Mr. Lancer was making all the students read. Don't get me wrong; I love to read! But I hate it when people are in the middle of stuff, cause then I have to catch up!

I took my seat in the back, and picked up a copy of the book. "The Hobbit," the book was called. I smiled. That was one of my FAVORITE books!!! I would have no trouble catching up. I started re-reading it, and didn't stop until I heard my name called by Mr. Lancer that the period was over, and I had to go to lunch.

I got my tray, just like the day before, and passed by the popular table to see what condition Dash was in. His left arm was in a sling, and he had a bruise around his chin, but nothing worse. I kept walking, when I heard my name whispered. I didn't really think about it until I heard it again. I turned around to see a girl with long black hair looking at me and snickering. I left, to sit with Danny, Sam and Tucker, and decided to ask them about it.

"Hey, who's that girl over there by Dash?" I asked Sam. "She's a"-- she got cut off. "She's BEAUTIFUL!" Tucker and Danny said simultaneously. I smiled. I stared at a plate of applesauce that I had put on my tray. It rose, then I made it fly over to the girl, where it hit her right in the back of the head. I heard her scream, then she jumped up, and started running at me. "Um, that's Paulina, the school's 'goddess.'" Sam told me.

Paulina was running closer and closer to me, so, on instinct, I made a plate of spaghetti hit her. She fell, and started crying. I pumped my arm in the air, and screamed: "YES!" unfortunately, that is when Mr. Lancer saw me.


"Detention?!" I yelled. I was sitting in Mr. Lancer's office. "But I'm NEW!" I shouted. "That doesn't excuse your behavior, Miss Rayna." he said. I wanted to kick him. "Now, you will stay in this room for the next hour. Don't try to escape, because I WILL find out." he said, and left the room, locking the door behind me. I stared at a window. This is too easy! I thought. I forced the window open, and flew out. I knew that I'd get in trouble if I got caught, but that was a risk I'd have to take.


Okay, end of chapter two. I got four reviews (NO FLAMES! HUZZAH!) for my last chappie, so let's leave it at that. Again, no flames, please. If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all!
