Amity Park: May 25, 2006

Excitement mounted the halls of Casper High as the students waited impatiently for the final bell of the school day. Teachers had long since given up trying to get the students to be quiet and sit still, even the strict vice principle, Mr. Lancer, was being lineate about the rising noise.

Finally, the long awaited bell rang out and the students poured from the school, rushing to meet their summer. All but one.

"Man, I can't believe Lancer gave me detention on the last day of school! This is so unfair!" A raven haired boy stalked down the hall with is two best friends. "I mean, what did I do this time to piss him off?"

"Cussing in school would qualify for that, Mr. Fenton," said a voice from behind the three friends, "Be grateful that I will not carry it over to your sophomore year."

The boy turned around to see his teacher standing in the doorway. He looked at his friends apologetically.

"Don't worry Danny, we won't start the summer without you," said Tucker, an African-American technological whiz in a red beret.

"Yeah, we'll wait for you outside," agreed Sam, a Goth girl with violet eyes and black hair."

Mr. Lancer steered Danny into the empty classroom and took his seat in front of the black board. Danny walked over to his desk, placed his head in his hands and looked out the window at the cloudless sky. In his boredom, he started thinking of what he would do that summer other than fighting ghosts. Maybe he could talk his parents into giving him a later curfew, then he and his friends could go out camping by the lake like they planned to do last summer but never got around to it. Or maybe he would learn astrology; he had always liked to star gaze. Or maybe his parents would take him and his sister out on a normal vaca…

"Oh, Lord of the Rings! Fenton, get out of here. And try not to get into too much trouble this summer," growled Mr. Lancer from the front of the room," and have fun."

Danny jumped slightly and grinned at his teacher, "Thanks, Mr. Lancer. You have a good summer, too."

Danny stepped out of the front doors into the bright sunshine and saw his two friends waiting underneath one off the trees in the schoolyard.

"So he let you out early? Maybe he doesn't have it in for you like we thought," Sam joked, leaning slightly on the tree trunk.

Together they walked away from the school and down the street, making summer plans as all students do. They were just passing the Nasty Burger, talking about seeing a movie that evening when Danny's ghost sense went off. Danny stopped in his tracks and looked around, but he couldn't see anything; this had been happening all day and he could not explain it. 'What is going on,' he thought.

"Do you guys see a ghost anywhere?"

"No. Maybe it's because of all the ghosts already here in town," Tucker suggested, glancing at Danny.

"Or it's something else," Sam interjected. The two boys just stared at her.

"What else could be setting off my ghost sense if it's not a ghost?" Danny asked warily. His friends just shrugged.

"Forget about it," offered Sam as they started walking again, "let's just go get a drink and figure out what we're going to see tonight. And where we're going to watch it."

"Sounds good to me," Tucker said happily, "There's supposed to be an awesome new monster movie out and …Danny? You coming with us or not?'

Danny hadn't noticed his friends walking again; something had caught his eye. It was a girl, but she couldn't have been real. She was standing across the street, and she definitely looked like she didn't belong there. She wore a faded gray tunic that stopped above her knees and a sword was girthed around her waist. Her hair was pulled into a long braid that fell over her shoulder and she wore knee high riding boots. People were walking passed her as though she were not there at all. Danny had a feeling that only he could see her.

But it was not her strange appearance that had his attention; it was her deep brown eyes. There were so many emotions in them that Danny had trouble sorting them out. There was pain, guilt, anger, sorrow and many others that Danny could not identify. First my ghost sense now her? Where did she come from? What is this? Danny closed his eyes for a moment and when he opened them she was gone. Just like that.

"Danny? Are you alright?" Sam gently touched her friends arm and felt him shiver.

"Did you see that? Tell me you saw her."

"Danny, there's nothing and no one there." Tucker pointed out. "Maybe you just need to sit down, have a drink or something."

"Yeah, maybe…" Danny trailed off, confusion on his face and in his voice.

"Come on. Nasty Burger it is. My treat." Sam held his arm firmly and pulled him to a chair underneath an umbrella out of the sun. She looked over at Tucker then went to get their drinks.

Danny looked over to where the girl had been.

What is going on here?
