Uh...Boo? Here's the next chappie, enjoy!
A knock was heard on the Fenton's front door. As Clockwork bid Mali farewell and phased through the wall again, the door opened and Jack Fenton stood in the doorway. He looked her up and down, wondering why she was at his doorstep.
"Hello, my name's Kamali Allegro, and I'm an orphan. May I please stay with you? I've heard that you're ghost hunters, and I'd feel safer with you because may town was destroyed by them." Jack looked at the girl, thinking about her story.
"Maddie! I think it's for you!" He slammed the door in the girl's face and went to find his wife. Maddie opened the door, smiling sheepishly.
"Sorry about Jack, he's not the brightest light bulb. Now tell me, what happened." She told the story she and Clockwork had worked out so that the Fenton's would want her. When she finished, Maddie stood gaping at her. "Oh you poor dear! Come on inside, we'll set you up with something, I'm sure. Do you want some breakfast?" Mali nodded, not wanting to make them suspicious.
"Thanks. You don't know how long I've been looking for a place to stay, with the worry that ghosts were going to attack me, the only surviver in the town. I had heard in a report a few months earlier that you had saved the town from a ghost attack, and it all made sense. All I have is this suitcase." Maddie looked at the girl after hearing the story.
"You poor dear! I've only ever heard of one good ghost, the one that protects our town, though he says there are others." Fact one:They believe Danny's good. That's a good thing. Now, if I could ask the right questions to find out if they know his identity. "They say he's only half ghost." She continued. Well, she knows he's half ghost, but isn't going on about how she wants to know who he is. I'm guessing that that means she knows it's Danny. Very good, this will make things much easier.
"Is it possible I stay with you for a while until I get a perminant home? I won't be too much of a burden, I promise. Maybe I could even help you with your ghost huinting. I know a bit about ghosts, as you can imagine. You have to know how to act so they don't kill you instantly, trust me." Maddie nodded at this.
"Well, we'll just have to check to make sure you're not overshadowed by a ghost, but I'm sure we can fix up the extra bedroom next to Jasmine's." That's done with. It's a good thing I'm not being overshadowed, or a half ghost or anything. "Now, where did the ghost catcher get to? It's probably in the lab. Come on." Maddie grabbed Kamali's arm and dragged her down to the lab. A few passes of the fenton catcher later, the two adults were content that she wasn't a ghost.
"So, where should I put my stuff?" Mali asked. Maddie brought her up to a spare bedroom. After explaining that they were always expecting guests, she left her alone. Mali spent all day after that trying to get into Casper High, so she could be around Danny more. She answered all the questions like Clockwork told her to, so that they'd end up in all the same classes. About five minutes before Danny and Jazz were supposed to be arriving home, she went down and sat on the couch, eating some cookies. Uncle Clockwork never got me anything sugary, he just bought health food. The only other time I've had sugar was that day at the beach. Ice cream is good, I've got to remember to get some more.
The door opened, and Jazz entered the house, followed by Danny. They instantly noticed Mali sitting in their living room, and became confused. "Who are you?" Jazz asked.
"I'm Kamali Allegro, and I'm an orphan. Your parents agreed to let me stay here for a few months. That's ok with you guys, right?" Jazz nodded and smiled at the girl, but Danny didn't warm up quite as quickly. A few minutes later, he realized that if she was a ghost, his ghost sense would have gone off. Even if she isn't a ghost, I still can't use my powers around her. Just as I got used to using them around my parents, of course! Do my life's surprises never end? Even though he was not happy about that, he still decided to give her a chance. "Also, I'm trying to get into Casper High, so I can continue my education." Jazz loved this immediately.
"Did you call the school yet?" Mali nodded. "Great! Then I have to show you around! It's a pretty good school." She was dragged out of the house before she could protest, not that she really wanted to. After all, this would give her some time to get to know Jasmine. She knew that the two siblings were really close, especially since Danny found out that she knew his secret. It was only obvious that in order to get to know Danny, Jazz was going to have to like her as well. They wandered around the school, Jazz pointing out important people and places.
"Hello Jasmine, who's this?" Mr. Lancer asked. The bald teacher looked Mali up and down, and she smiled.
"This is Kamali Allegro. She's an orphan staying with my family. We're trying to get her into Casper High, so she can continue her education! It was her idea!" Lancer smiled at her. Moby Dick! This girl actually cares about her education? I guess we'll get along then.
"My name's Mr. Lancer, it's nice to meet you, miss Allegro." He held out his hand, and she shook it.
"It's a pleasure to meet you too, Mr. Lancer. What class do you teach?" After a few minutes of discussing classes later, they were on their way.
"Lancer doesn't really like my brother, but if you show any signs of wanting an education, or athletic ability, then he'll be pretty nice. Ever since Danny let me help him out, I've been late to his class a few times, but haven't gotten in trouble." This is my chance to ask. If I don't, I'll look to suspicious.
"What do you help him out with?" Kamali asked. Jazz stopped dead for a few seconds, muttering about how she shouldn't have mentioned it.
"I help Danny with his class and schoolwork, just he doesn't want anyone to know because he doesn't want to be thought of as a baby." She nodded, pretending to take this excuse. A few seconds later, a ghost flew through the wall, hitting the opposite wall and slumping to the floor. Looks like Technus. Does that guy ever leave Danny alone? She then noticed Jazz screaming and running away. A few seconds later, Danny's head popped through the wall. Even if she isn't afraid of ghosts, I should at least let her know I'm the good guy, Danny thought
"Hi, I'm Danny Phantom. I'm sure you've probably heard of me. I'm the good guy, now stand back!" Mali obeyed and stepped to the opposite side of the room as Danny sucked Technus into the Fenton Thermos. He flew over to her. "Are you alright?" He asked. She nodded.
"Though ghosts still bring back bad memories, I'm not afraid of most of them any more. Only a few really scare me. You seem like a good guy, I'll believe you." Danny smiled at the girl and took off, flying through the ceiling. Wow, that was pretty easy too convince her! Maybe it was too easy? Well, then again, everyone in her town were killed by ghosts, but I guess they looked different from me. Jazz came back into the room and saw the girl just standing there, looking around at the small amount of damage.
"Ohmygosh! What happened? Are you ok?" Jazz had to act scared, otherwise Mali might start to suspect something. She simply nodded.
"Yeah, I'm fine. But that Danny Phantom guy, is he really as good as he says he is? The only ghosts I've ever met have been evil." Ok, so I lied, but I don't care. I wonder if Uncle Clockwork would permit me telling Jazz, she seems like the kind of girl that's good at keeping secrets. After all, she kept Danny's secret from even him for a few months. I'll have to ask him tonight.
"Trust me, he's one of the least evil ghosts you've ever met. He's saved the town more times than any of us know, I'm sure." Jazz smiled at Kamali, who simply smiled back, nodding. Good to see we have some people who aren't afraid of a good ghost. I'm just glad I got to talk to her before someone like the mayor or a few other people. I mean, up until recently, even having Valerie talk to her sooner would've been horrible.
One more after this or now, and it's a little short.
