A/N: Grrr... Another short one... I'm getting frustrated... Well, I'm glad you guys liked the end of the last chapter. It never really struck me as a cliffie for some reason. Anywho, enjoy this chapter! YAY!

"Mr. Foley, if I may have a word…" Mr. Lancer called. Tucker stopped right in his tracks.

Aw, man! He thought, turning around slowly with his head hanging dejectedly. I thought I was gonna be outta here!

"Please, take a seat," Mr. Lancer said. It didn't sound as much like an offer as it did a command to which Tucker immediately obliged. "This may or may not take a while…"

"But – "

"No buts," Mr. Lancer snapped loudly.

"Okay!" Tucker squeaked in reply, slightly intimidated by the sudden noise.

"Now," the perturbed teacher started. "Principal Ishiyama has shown me an interesting video clip from one of the school's security cameras."

Pfft! Yeah right! If whatever he watched was interesting, then I hate technology, Sam is a popular prep who loves pink, and Danny doesn't believe in ghosts! Tucker quipped to himself.

Not receiving a response from the clearly uninterested student, Mr. Lancer cleared his throat and continued, "And it just so happens that it concerned Mr. Fenton." That sure caught Tucker's attention. Danny? That's weird… I wonder what this could be about? Well, I sure hope it's nothing to do with 'Invisobill'.

"In the recording, a ring of light appeared around Daniel's waist, and then someone off-screen warned him about a secret identity. The ring vanished," the teacher explained.

Tucker inhaled sharply, his eyes slightly widened with surprise. He quickly put on a straight face, his thoughts racing at the speed of light.

Oh man! I wonder how much Lancer knows… If he's found out about Danny, there'll be big trouble!

"Would you happen to know anything about this, Mr. Foley?" Mr. Lancer asked, even though his attempt at finding answers was futile; it wasn't like Tucker would ever reveal any secrets about his best friend to a teacher of all people…

"Um… Er… N-no, I don't know anything about any of this – that you've just mentioned to me that is – I think I'd better be, uhh… going now! Yeah, better get an early start on that homework!" Tucker said, stuttering. Before Mr. Lancer could call him back, Tucker was out the door, dust at his feet. The teacher just sighed.

What kind of 'secret identity' could that boy have? he mused, baffled. How on Earth could it be so importantly confidential that his friend would rather do homework than tell about it? It was all very strange. Then, the suspiciousness of it all increased by tenfold: Wait a second… I didn't assign any homework today…

Valerie sat on her bed, staring at her laptop while it started up. A long blue bar onscreen started filling up with blocks of yellow (signaling the loading process).

After thinking for a long while about all of her previous battles against (and in one or two cases, alongside) the ghost boy, and after searching those memories as thoroughly as she could, she finally came to a conclusion: The ghost boy was either not really a ghost, or only part ghost.

Valerie assumed the former; after all, how could it be possible for someone to be only part ghost? Then again, that's why she was turning to the Internet. She wanted to find out if it was possible.

At last, the computer screen displayed her desktop: A collage of wanted posters of various ghosts. Opening the Internet, she went to Google, the best search engine on the web.

"Let's see…" Valerie said out loud to no one in particular. "I should probably start with a general search…" Thinking for just a moment, she typed "ghosts" and clicked the "search" button.

"162,839,475 results!" Valerie exclaimed. She definitely needed to narrow it down. She tried "Invisobill".

"Oh, that was a genius idea, Valerie!" the ghost hunter said sarcastically to herself as the screen finished loading. "Because 92,674,891 results is so much easier to work with!"

Even though she got millions of results, Valerie decided to check out a few anyway. The first one she selected led to a fan site for Invisobill.

That must be one-of-a-kind, thought Valerie scornfully. She was about to go back when a colorful pie chart caught her eye.

It was titled "Good or Evil?". The key explained that the neon green section stood for the citizens of Amity who thought Invisobill was good. It read 32 percent. The other 68 percent – the ones who thought he was evil – was represented by a blood red color.

Valerie snorted derisively at the sight of the chart and hit the "back" button.

"Alright," she said, shaking the chart from her head, "Obviously, 'Invisobill' isn't going to work."

Then, surprised that she had forgotten it, she remembered the main reason she was doing this. Wondering what she might find, Valerie slowly, deliberately, typed in "half ghosts" and pressed "search"...

A/N: Again, sorry it's short, but I really needed to get something out here. You know what? Time for A POLL!

What do you guys want more:

A. chapters as short as this once or twice a week... OR
