AN: Alright... Looking back on that first chapter I realized it was pathetic... The fact that I wrote it at about 11:00 at night could have something to do with it but still... Anyway, I hope this one turns out better.

That night Danny, Sam, and Tucker set off through Amity Park with some ghost tracking equipment to try to find the mysterious ghost Danny had sensed earlier.

"Are you getting anything, Sam?" Danny asked.

Sam looked at the tracking device in her hand. "It's picking something up, but the signal is very weak..." she said.

"Don't you think this is all a bit strange?" asked Tucker, "First a ghost shows up and doesn't do any damage and now the tracking device is barely picking up their ghost energy... I wonder what's going on."

"Well there's only one way to find out." said Danny, "Where is the signal coming from?"

"Just behind that house." said Sam, pointing.

"Alright, I'm going ghost!" said Danny as he changed to his ghost form.

The three of them went into the backyard and found the ghost. She appeared to be a teenage girl with long silver hair and a long, flowing, sparkling blue dress and she seemed to glow with a blue light. She sat on top of the shed with her knees tucked close to her body and stared at the moon.

"She doesn't look threatening at all." said Tucker.

"Yeah, she actually looks kind of sad..." Sam added.

"Come on guys, she's still a ghost." said Danny, "Besides, how can we be sure it isn't some sort of trick?" He looked at Sam and Tucker who both seemed to feel sorry for the ghost girl and sighed. "Listen, I'll talk to her and try to get her to leave without a fight, okay?" He flew up and hovered behind the girl. He was just about to open his mouth to say something when, without even looking at him, the girl spoke.

"Why do you want to get rid of me?" she asked, "I've done nothing wrong. I haven't hurt anyone. Is it because I'm a ghost, and you think all ghosts are evil?" She looked down and started crying. "I promise you, I don't intend to do any harm. It's just that... you don't understand... I need to be here... I need to do something before it's too late..."

"Too late for what?" asked Danny.

"For me..." she choked out.

"Can you at least tell me who you are and why you're here?" Danny asked quietly as he glided over and sat next to her.

The girl wiped away her tears with her arm and took a deep breath. "I am the one called Free Spirit." she said, "I'm here because... well, it's complicated... You see, I get my power from free spirited people. The more free spirited people there are the more powerful I become. But lately there has been a lack of free spirits and so I have began to weaken. That's why I'm here. I need to raise the number of free spirits in the world so I won't... vanish..."

They both sat there in silence.

"Listen," said Danny after a while, "maybe I was a bit quick to judge you... You can stay here and I'll even try to help you. But if you cause any kind of destruction or anything, I'm going to have to make you leave."

Free Spirit smiled as she looked up at him, he blue eyes glowing in the moonlight. "Thank you." she said, "What about your friends?"

"I'm sure they'll understand when we explain the situation." said Danny reassuringly, "They'll probably agree to help."

They went down and explained everything to Sam and Tucker.

"Well that clears a lot up." said Sam.

"And it also explains why the signal was so weak." Tucker added.

"Well, we should probably be getting home..." said Danny, "We'll try to figure out how to help you more tomorrow, Free Spirit."

"Alright," said Free Spirit nodding.

With that Danny, Sam, and Tucker headed home completely unaware of what the next morning would bring.
