AN: People, why do you not review! You make me feel unloved. I'd rather be flamed like no other than have no reviews! The only reviews I've gotten so far are from my sister and my friend and only because I told them to! Anyway, I'm putting up yet another chapter because surprisingly enough I'm really getting into the story!

Disclaimer: sweatdrop Yeah... I've been forgetting to do this so it applies to the first two chapters as well... I do not own Danny Phantom but Free Spirit is mine, along with some other characters that show up later.

Danny's eyes opened slowly and he looked at his alarm clock. "Six o' clock..." he mumbled, "I'd better get up..." It was pretty late by the time he had gotten home the previous night.

"Good morning, Danny." came a voice from across the room.

Danny sat up in his bed. He had expected to see Jazz or maybe his mom, but what he saw shocked him so much he was instantly awake. Free Spirit was sitting contently in a chair in the corner, reading a book.

"Free Spirit! What are you doing here!" Danny said in a panic.

Free Spirit closed the book calmly and gently placed it on the table. "I was lonely..." she said.

"You don't understand, it's not safe for you here! My parents are ghost hunters!"

"Don't worry..." said Free Spirit as she walked over to the window and started opening the curtains. "It's safe for you so it should be safe for me..."

"Yeah, but it's different for me because- WHAT ARE YOU DOING! SOMEONE COULD SEE YOU!"

"It's all under control..." said Free Spirit. The light from the sunrise flowed into the room. As it hit Free Spirit she began to glow. Her hair changed to two long blonde braids with ribbons and flowers interwoven which lay gently in front of her. Her clothes changed to a long, loose, purple tie-dye tank top and a pair of slightly tattered bell bottomed blue jeans. She smiled. "This is always my first..." she said to herself.

"Your first what?" asked Danny.

"Outfit of course!" Free Spirit giggled.

Danny sat in his bed in confusion. "Okay, why don't you start by explaining what just happened?"

"In the day time I appear human so that I can interact with humans and try to get them to be more free spirited. I still have all of my ghost powers though, just in case. My outfit transforms with me and changes depending on how I feel. Since I love coming to help people be more free spirited this is always my first outfit!"

"So... because you like coming here your first outfit is a hippie outfit?" said Danny.

Free spirit giggled again. "Danny, where do you think hippies got this look?"

Danny laughed a little. "Yeah, I should have guessed you were the one behind that... Well, I've got to get ready for school and-"

"This way, Maddie!" came Jack Fenton's voice from the stairs, "The signals are coming from Danny's room!"

"Oh no!" said Danny, "The Fenton Ghost Tracker! I must have left it on! Free Spirit, you have to get out of here!"

"What about you?" Free Spirit asked worriedly.

"Don't worry, I know how to handle these situations. Now hurry!"

Free Spirit phased out and took off through the ceiling just as Jack and Maddie burst through the door.

"DO YOU MIND!" Danny yelled at them.

"Danny, be careful! There are two ghosts in your room!" his father warned.

"There are no ghosts in my room now GET OUT!" Danny yelled pointing to the door.

"Jack," said Maddie, "I think there's something wrong with the Fenton Ghost Tracker... The weak signal is gone and the other is coming from Danny..."

"It's still doing that?" said Jack. He sighed. "I'll have to try to fix it again..." He and Maddie left and Danny let out a sigh of relief.

"That was too close for comfort..." he said as he climbed out of bed and got ready for school. He walked out the front door where he was greeted by Sam, Tucker, and the newly transformed Free Spirit.

"Hey, Danny." said Tucker waving, "Free Spirit told us about your surprise wake up call this morning!" He started laughing. "Classic, man!"

"Yeah, well I hope the rest of today turns out pretty uneventful." said Danny, "I've already had enough surprises for one day."

Up until lunch it looked like Danny's wish may come true but when Dash showed up to tease them things didn't stay very normal for much longer.

"Who would have guessed the goth girl and the hippie would become fast friends!" Dash said loud enough for the whole cafeteria to hear.

"Cut it out, Dash!" said Danny angrily.

"Standing up for your girlfriend?" Dash taunted.

"Sam is not my girlfriend!" Danny yelled.

"Oh, did you dump her for the hippie?" asked Dash grinning, "Can't say I blame you, Fenton, she is a little more good looking than Sam. She wouldn't be my first choice though. Heck, she wouldn't even be my fifth choice!"

Free Spirit slammed her hands on the table and stood up so fast her chair went flying. "So, you're one of them!" she said, glaring at Dash.

"What are you doing?" Tucker asked looking at her. When he got no response he looked at Sam. "Sam, what is she doing?"

Free Spirit walked right up to Dash and looked him straight in the eyes. This seemed to have no effect on him.

"Who are you, anyway?" he asked harshly.

Free Spirit nearly choked as she realized she hadn't yet come up with a name for herself. She spat out the first thing that popped in her head. "River!"

"River!" Dash started laughing hysterically. "What kind of stupid name is River!"

Free Spirit smiled as she got an idea. She gasped and grabbed Dash by the shoulders, shaking him vigorously. "You have to get out of here! They're coming for you! They know what you've done!"

"What the-?"

"They're coming and they'll KILL YOU! I CAN SEE THEM IN MY HEAD! THE THINGS THEY'RE DOING TO YOU!" She screamed and fell to her knees.

"I've gotta get out of here! OUT OF MY WAY!" yelled Dash as he ran out of the cafeteria.

Danny, Sam, and Tucker ran over to Free Spirit who was still on her knees.

"What happened?" Sam asked her, "What was that all about?"

Free Spirit chuckled a little as she smiled up at them. "Absolutely nothing." she said.

"You mean you made the whole thing up?" said Tucker.

Free Spirit nodded proudly until sh realized something. "Danny, you aren't going to make me leave for that are you?"

"Are you kidding?" Danny laughed, "I only wish I'd thought of it first!"

They were still laughing about the incident as they walked home from school. But their laughter soon stopped when they heard a voice behind them.

"There you are!"

"Oh no..." said Free Spirit. They turned and saw a tall, green-skinned ghost woman standing there.

"You will not stand in my way this time!" the woman shrieked pointing at Free Spirit.

Free Spirit laughed nervously. "Did I forget to mention I have an enemy?"

"Yeah, you definitely forgot to mention that..." said Danny.
