Well, here's the latest chapter...special thanks to Digidestined and MissMelis

"Uggh…"

"Oh good, you're finally awake."

"What?" Annie sat up and discovered that she was lying in a bed, it was bigger than her last, but all of the things that she had gathered and arranged around her old room were here. "Ian?"

He grinned, "Yessirie Annie. You've been out the longest on record so far. Kenny and Hannah came out of sleep about three hours ago."

"Three hours? Oh yeah…I flipped the switch and ploof!"

"Ploof? Okay…but anyways, I have been assigned to you by Mr. Masters to be your trainer for the next few months; if he likes your fighting skills after that, he'll let me stay as your trainer."

"Umm…Ian?" Annie looked up timidly, "Do you know who Vlad Masters is?"

"Of course, he's our benefactor. He gave me a job and for that I am grateful." He began to pace, "When you entered that door and turned on the switch…what happened was…your DNA got altered. You're half-ghost now."

"Half-ghost…" Annie tried to act surprised, but all that came out was a tired expression. "And what does this mean?"

"You have the ability to turn invisible, intangible, shoot ectoplasmic bolts…basic ghost powers, you know. You told me before that you had watched Danny Phantom, it's just like that."

"Neat-o." Annie sighed and flopped back down into the bed, she felt different from before, not like when she had been human, but it was as if someone had just handed her a whole bunch of power and left no instruction manual. "But Ian, I want to know just what the heck is going on here. Why is Vlad P-…Masters turning all these people into halfas?"

"Vlad Plasmius? So you've figured it out too?"

"I haven't!"

"It's alright; I debugged the room so we could talk freely. Yes, he's Vlad Plasmius, but he doesn't seem to have any evil intent in mind. Just give it time, a mean, didn't he promise you free college?"

"Yeah, but it's VLAD!" Annie stood up and began bouncing on the bed, "PLASMIUS!"

"No need to scream. I've de-bugged the room, but if someone's standing outside, they can hear you if you yell loud enough! Just calm down Annie and relax. We'll start your training now. Sit." He lifted one hand in command as she refused his order, "I'll ask once more, sit."

"I'm not a dog!"

He raised one eyebrow and then jumped up and pulled one of her legs out and twisted around; his pupil landed in a cross-legged position. "We are going to meditate."

"Are you sure Hugh? Are you absolutely positive that she was a halfa?"

"Yeah dad, why would I lie to you!" Vlad Master's son flopped down in the plush leather chair, "But hopefully there'll be no unwanted side effects that could ruin our plans."

"That would be terrible. We've waited far too long to have our dreams broken by a powerful little upstart."

Annie sat alone, she had already gotten a hang of where all the cameras were, they were very numerous in the living area, but there were none in the bathroom. It was just as well, if there had been any in there, she would have broken them all.

With a pen, piece of paper, and tin of matches in her hand, she snuck into the shower and closed the door, turning the light on as she did. With the shower running, she could write now. 'Time for some math.'

"One-half ghost…plus one-half ghost, plus human…equals one ghost plus one human…AGFH! That equals two…okay…lets try…one human + x amount of ghost one….okay that should work. Okay, so h+x1 and ½ h+…okay, now I'm confused. If I was half human and half ghost after my first portal experience, for the second time, I would split the remaining human DNA and the ghost DNA which leaves me with ½ new ghost DNA, ¼ old ghost DNA, and ¼ human DNA. But ghost DNA fuses with other ghost DNA…that was in episode 243…so that means I'm ¾ ghost…I'm a three-fourtha!"

Her eyes took the new information eagerly, "Now I think that this might call for a pseudonym! Three-fourths…hum, but that guy I fought knows I was a halfa before the second portal, so I can't just call myself that without being a complete idiot. Three-fourths in French is 'Trois-Quarts', but what does that sound like? 'Three Warts' is more like it."

She dropped her head to her knees and breathed in the shower's steam. "Wait a second! 'Three-Cats'! But that implies more than one person…yes! I know… 'The Third Cat'! Yes! Parfait!"

Annie whipped out a match and held her burning paper over the shower drain, her fingers gripped the blank part of the parchment and the name burned itself into her mind as the written word turned to ashes and disappeared down the drain.

"I am the Third Cat."

Ok class, what have we learned? Vlad Plasmius knows about Annie, Ian is scary sometimes and knows Karate(wait, you knew that already), Vlad's son is Hugh

My hyper self: Was he born a halfa or made into one?

My depressed self: Mebeh we'll answer that in the next chapter.

Special Darci: laughs maniacly

My Depressed self: We also know that Annie is good at math, despite her horric attempts at solving for variables...

S.D.: DAHHHH! BWAHAHAHAHAHA!

M.H.S.: She nees meds...

M.D.S.: Oh, and Ian knew about Vlad...I think that's it...except for "Oh mon dieu! Ils ont tue Kenny! Vous Batards! A fuzzy scarf for whoever guess what this translates out to be...coughtheykilledKennycoughOh, BTW, "Parfait" means perfect, she's not talking about McDonalds food!

S.D.: heh heh, knitting needles! Stabs Greg

Greg: I knew she would do that...
