Danny was looking around the new environment surrounding him. Coming out of the alley, he found himself in a port marketplace, but where he was was still going through his mind. He walked up to a random stranger and asked him, "Excuse me, do you know where this place is?"

"¡Hable la lengua!" the man said. "¡Vaya de nuevo a su propio paía!" The man then stormed off.

Danny looked in awe. "Uh, gesundheit?" Danny continued walking, in a deep state of worry. "Great, not only do I not know where I am, I don't know a thing anyone is saying! I'm dead."

It was at that moment that Danny's stomach started rumbling. He hasn't eaten since breakfast. He spotted a cart filled with fresh fruit. He was going to reach for an apple when it hit him that he didn't have any money with him, and even if he did, the vender wouldn't accept it. That thought made Danny even more hungry. He had to stop thinking about food now. He had to find out where he was.

Danny was asking anyone he could find to know where he was, getting only negative responces, none of them in English. His efforts seemed about to stop when a hooded person bumped into him, causing both to fall on their behinds.

"Salga de mi manera," the hooded person said, revealing a young female voice.

"Sorry," Danny replied back to her, despite not knowing what she said anyway. It was after that that Danny noticed the girl frantically picking items up, which included several apples, a loaf of bread, and two vials of ink. She was stuffing them into her cloak, where they more than likely were before the two collided. "Wait a minute, did you steal all these?"

"¡Allí ella es!" a voice yelled from behind the supposed thief. The voice came from a soldier captain, with two of his men. All three had rifles in hand.

"I'll take that as a yes," Danny said, apparently knowing why they had the guns.

"Salga de aquí," the thief said. "Piensan que usted es un cómplice."

"I don't know what you're saying!" Danny said, releasing his frustration.

"Run or you will be killed!" the girl responded back. Danny looked shocked to finally meet someone who made since to him. Danny finally took the girl's advice after he heard one of the soldier's rifles go off.

Danny and the thief were trying to escape from the soldiers. Fortunatly, those old rifles took some time to reload, but it's not like Danny knew that. "Wait a minute," Danny suddenly thought aloud, "I'm half ghost." With that, Danny suddenly grabbed his cloaked companion and took both him and her through a nearby wall. The soldiers caught up baffled to see that their targets suddenly vanished.

While inside the building, the girl in the cloak seemed surprised to find herself inside when she was out three seconds ago. "How did we..." she said in complete bewilderment. "Did you..."

"Yeah, I did," Danny answered. "Now if you'll excuse me, I've got some guards to take care of." At that, Danny went into ghost mode. The girl appeared even more shocked not only of what Danny had turned into, but to actually see him go through the wall again.

The three soldiers were examining the building that Danny and the girl had disappeared into. Knocking the walls, searching for switches, anything to see how those thieves escaped. "Hey, redcoats!" Danny yelled at the opposing side, as the guards turned to his direction. "Well, the redcoats were british, but seeing how no one understands me, a little inaccuracy wouldn't hurt."

The soldiers looked very nervous in front of the floating ghost-boy. The one in front didn't seem to show as much fear, so he fired a shot at Danny. Danny easily phased out of the way, making the soldiers look even more terrified. Seeing the oppertunity, Danny flew in front of the lead guard, who was trembling in his boots by now.

"...Boo."

The guards went off screaming, with the head of the three screaming the girliest of all. Danny laughed at their fear, seeing how one was so scared that he left one of his boots behind. Danny phased back into the building the girl was hiding in. She was still there, probably paralyzed in terror.

"How did you do that?" she asked him, still pretty afraid.

"Well," Danny started, kind of nervous to answer, "the truth is I'm part ghost."

The girl screamed, to which Danny reacted by covering her mouth. "Shhh," Danny hushed. "We don't want anyone storming in here and causing a scene. I know it sounds weird, but..." Danny was inturupted by his rumbling stomach. "Uh, could you spare me an apple or something?"

"You mean you eat?" the girl said. Danny looked at her confusedly. "Alright then. I'll reward you once you escort me home. It's not far from here. Can you turn people invisible?"

"Just grab onto me," Danny told her. Without much reluctance, the girl with the hood and cloak and turned invisible to avid being seen by anymore soldiers.

"Here we are," the girl said, showing Danny her home. It was a watermill that looked as if it had been abbandoned years ago. The good thing was since it was a watermill, there was still fresh water running through it. She showed Danny the inside of the watermill, which equally looked run down. "As we say in Spain, 'Mi casa es su casa'."

"Well, I can kinda see why... wait," Danny said, now with a secod thought, "I'm in Spain?"

"Well, yes," the Girl told him. "Where else would you be?

"Well," Danny started, "the thing is I'm not from here. I'm not even from this time period. You know, just to feel more miserable, I'm curious on what century this is."

"I believe this is the 17th century."

"The 17th century! Oh no. I'm four hundred years in the past without any way of getting back. How could my dad have forgotten to build a way to get back to the future? ...Wait, don't answer that."

"Well, I'm sorry to hear that, although I don't fully comprehend with what you're saying. Why don't we have something to eat?"

The girl led Danny to what looked like a kitchen or dining room, which had cabinets for storing and a fireplace for cooking over. "Oh, I almost forgot," the girl said, while removing her hood, revealing long, curly, brown hair, "we never introduced ourselves." She turned to Danny, showing him her chocolate brown eyes and to being around Danny's age. "My name is Adriana. What's yours?"

"I'm Danny," Danny answered back. "Danny Phantom."
