Living A Lie

Chapter 2 – I Am Going To Be Killed.

It had been two hours since I had revealed that I was half ghost. I also told them I was not just any ghost, that I was the one and only, Danny Phantom. They took it pretty well… yeah right!

First they laughed and told me to stop joking around and to tell them the truth and if I wanted to lie, make it believable. I just frowned and brought up the rings that changed my identity.

They stopped laughing as soon as the transformation was complete. The just sat there in shock for about 5 minutes and then they got out a few ghost detectors and weapons, seeing if I really was Danny Phantom.

Next, was denial. They said it couldn't be true, I couldn't be half ghost. They told me it was scientifically impossible. I told them that it was possible and, that there were two other ghost hybrids (including my cousin, Dani.) I didn't tell them who, that wouldn't be right, Vlad would kill me and… they wouldn't know who Danielle was, since she didn't meet them.

They started to believe me but, they also started to cry. They started apologising like mad, for attacking their special little boy. I got sick of it, told them not to worry, they didn't know and that I would be in my room if they needed me.

So, here I am now, in my room, bored out of my wits. I didn't know where I would go to school now, now that I had been expelled from Casper High. I looked at a poster on my wall that said 'Explorer Hartman' with a picture of a rocket. I then looked at my certificate next to it that said: Junior Astronaut Danny Fenton Certificate Of Completion.

Suddenly, I saw my breath; it was a light blue colour, telling me a ghost was nearby. I looked around but saw no ghost, not yet. I hear a girl around the age of 12 chuckle, and looked to my doorway.

"Hey Dani." I greeted her with a sigh.

"Hey cousin!" said the small girl who looked a lot like me in my ghost form.

"So, where'd ya go?" I asked her, interested in where she had stayed for the past month.

"Oh, don't worry. I decided to come back; I am bored of travelling and all that, not having a home." She told me.

"So, you are going to meet my parents? What are you going to say? Hi, I'm Danielle, the girl who is half ghost like Danny?" I asked her.

"They KNOW your half ghost?" she asked me.

"Yeah, I told them today because I sorta… got expelled." I mumbled.

"WOAH! Anyway, I could do that, couldn't I?" she asked me.

"Yeah, I guess, knock yourself out!" I wished her luck.

"Thanks!" she thanked me.

She ran up to me and gave me a hug. I returned the hug and then she pulled away with a smile on her face. She jumped out my window and I watched her as she landed on the ground. I saw her change from Dani Phantom to Danielle Fenton.

She wore a red hat, a blue hooded jumper, red shorts and blue shoes. Her eyes were an icy blue like mine, because she was my clone. I was surprised that she hadn't melted yet, I was also glad, I found her pretty cool, in the end.

I opened my door and walked downstairs, into the lounge room where my parents were still talking. There was a knock on the door and I ran to get it. When Dani saw me, she smiled and I walked back into the lounge room and took a seat at the couch.

She followed me and when she entered the room; my parents looked up at her. They seemed pretty shocked, seeing a twelve year old girl who looked quite a bit like me.

"Can we help you?" mum asked her, being as kind as she always was.

"Well, um… see, you know how Danny is half ghost?" she asked them.

"You know?" dad asked, totally shocked.

"Well, yeah… about that. See, you know -" she looked at me to see if it was alright that she told them and I nodded my head. "-Vlad Masters?" she asked.

They nodded their heads and Dani sighed. "Well, he umm… he kinda tried to clone Danny…"

"WHAT?" mum asked.

"He knows." I informed her.

"Oh, please continue, darling." mum said.

"Well, I am one of the clones and all the other clones melted except for me and I was wondering if I could stay here because… I have no where else to go. Please?" Dani asked my parents.

They didn't say anything straight away. After about a minute, they looked to me and I nodded, telling them that it was the truth. They looked back at Dani and then at me.

"well, if you stayed here, you would have to share a room with Danny for now, but not for too long, we just need to finish painting the guest room, we could buy you a bed and everything… its all up to Danny." mum said.

Everyone looked to me and I smiled. "Sure, she can stay in my bedroom."

She ran up and hugged me once again, and then went to hug my parents. They were practically her parents as well, I had ANOTHER sister, but I didn't care, Dani was awesome and so was Jazz, when she wasn't being too overprotective. Where was Jazz anyway?

"Where's Jazz?" I asked, looking at the clock to see that it was 4:12pm, around the time she usually comes home.

"She said she might be ten minutes late, she had to speak to one of her teachers." mum told me.

"Oh, alright." I sighed.

"Well, Danny will you take…" mum stopped because she didn't know Dani's name.

"My name is Danielle; call me Dani with an 'I' for short." She told them.

Mum nodded. "Take Dani to your room, then we need to figure out this problem."

I grabbed Dani's hand and pulled her to my room, even though she knew where it was. I grabbed her a spare pillow and a sleeping bag from my closet and put them on my floor.

"Why don't you just go to school as Danny Phantom? No one knows you are part ghost and I could go as a ghost too! That would be soo fun!" suggested Dani.

"No way, ghosts probably aren't allowed to go to school!" I told her, even though I did like the idea.

"MUM! DAD!" she called out to them.

Mum and dad ran into the room, thinking that something might be wrong or that I might be doing something to her.

"Yes princess?" said dad.

"Can ghosts go to school?" she asked.

"I haven't seen any rules against it… why?" mum asked.

"Well, I think Danny should sign up at Casper High as Danny Phantom and I could sign up as Dani Phantom, his sister!" Dani told her the idea.

"You know, that's a pretty good idea." dad said.

"Thanks." She thanked dad.

I smiled, hoping that ghosts were allowed to go to school. Then, a problem came to me. "What if we accidentally change back or collapse?"

This made them think. I wasn't sure about this idea, it had bad written all over it. Then, I remembered Valerie. What would she do if I went to school, as Danny Phantom? And what would she do if TWO Phantoms went to school?

"Don't worry, you won't change back. But, do I have to start school straight away? I really want to get used to my new home and I also want to go shopping! So, do I?" Dani asked my mum and dad.

"Sure pumpkin, you can stay home but Danny, you have to go to school. We will drive down to the school and enrol you before everyone goes home today, just pretend that… well, say that we have captured you and want you to go to school." Mum said.

"Alright, when are you going?" I asked.

"Now, but first, Dani, can we see your ghost form, please?" begged dad.

She smiled and put her hands out. Two blue rings appeared around her waist, one travelled up, the other travelled down. Her hair was snow white and she had glowing green eyes, just like mine in ghost form.

She had silver shoes, black and white pants, a black and white shirt with a DP symbol on it exactly the same as mine, one white sleeve and one black sleeve with a black glove and a white glove.

"Wow, you can see the resemblance." mum gasped.

"Are you sure that you are JUST a clone?" dad asked. "And that Vladdie created you?"

"Yep!" Dani giggled.

"Alright, we better go, let your sister in because she forgot her keys." Mum told us.

"Yes, bye." I moaned.

They left the room and I heard them walk out the front door and locking it. Dani looked to me and then raced out of my room, faster than any twelve year old girl I had seen run. Well, she isn't that normal, I told myself. I walked downstairs and saw her sitting on the couch, already eating heaps of food.

"I'm glad I'm your clone, I NEVER put on weight!" she told me.

"Yes, isn't it great?" I asked her.

I joined her on the couch and started to eat some of the food she had gotten out. She watched all the TV shows that I liked, ate the foods that I like and acted like I would, lazy. We were so alike; I guess that's what happens when you have a clone.

Suddenly, someone banged on the doors. I guessed it was my sister and leapt up from the couch. "Stay here." I told Dani and ran to the door.

I opened the door and my sister smiled and me and walked past me, put her bag on the ground, went into the lounge room then froze. I stood next to her and couldn't help but smile, she was looking at Dani.

"Is that… a new friend?" Jazz asked me.

I started cracking up and so did Dani, who had obviously heard what Jazz had asked me. I held my sides and Dani fell off the couch and onto the floor. Jazz just looked at us, yawning.

"Very funny Danny, tell me what's going on?" she asked me, when I had finished laughing.

"She is NOT my friend, can't you see the similarities?" I asked.

"Well, she looks a bit like you and wears the same colours as you but I STILL don't get what she is doing, eating all of our food!" Jazz was getting frustrated and looked as if she was going to rip out her hair.

Dani patted the chair next to her and Jazz sighed. She went and sat down next to Dani and I sat next to Jazz.

"NOW will you tell me what is going on? And where you got that brownie?" Jazz asked.

"I thought you didn't eat anything that might make you put on weight?" I asked her.

"Oh, shut up Danny -" Jazz turned to Dani. "- now will YOU tell me what is going on and what you are doing here, I thought Danny wasn't allowed friends over this week."

"But first, Jazz, I told mum and dad coz I got expelled from school and they are signing me up at Casper High as Danny Phantom." I explained.

"And they are signing me up at Casper High as Dani Phantom!" cheered Dani.

"WHAT?" Jazz was very, very shocked.

Me and Dani looked at each other and smiled.

"But, how could they sign you up as Danny Phantom when you are a girl, and they are signing him up. Wait, she KNOWS?" Jazz asked.

"Yes, she knows, settle. She isn't signing up as Danny Phantom, she is signing up as Dani with an 'I'" I explained.

"But, still, WHY does she know and HOW can she pose as a ghost?" Jazz asked.

"I don't have to pose as a ghost. Anyway, Vlad was trying to clone Danny, so, he made me and then we turned against him and I went off for a month and came here. I am half ghost." Dani explained.

"So… you are a clone of Danny?" Jazz asked.

"Yes, she is." I answered for Dani.

"And you both are signing up at Casper High?" Jazz asked.

"Yes, but I'm signing up in a few days, Danny's first day is Tuesday, mine is Thursday." Dani explained.

I woke up to the sound of water running. I opened my eyes and saw that my bathroom door was shut, Dani was taking a shower. I yawned and got out of bed to get something for breakfast.

When Dani walked downstairs, she was wearing a towel over her hair and her clothes from yesterday. My mum was going to take her shopping for other clothes today, even if they were exactly the same as her old ones.

I quickly went upstairs to have a shower before Dani got back in there. I took a shower in my human form and when I was done, I transformed into Danny Phantom. I grabbed a watch from my bench and put one on so I could tell the time.

I glanced at the watch and I realised that I had to be at school in exactly one minute. I flew downstairs and said goodbye to everyone. I thought I heard my mum calling my name but ignored it, grabbed my bag and flew to school.

There, it is a suitable place to finish it off, so, did you like it? I just HAD to include Dani, I HAD to! Anyway, hope ya enjoyed it, Read and Review

Love Kirst…
