Well, here it is. It's a new story I've started cause I was in the mood. Anyway, if you haven't already, go back and read the author's notes. The Disclaimer applies here but I'm not gonna repeat it.
Have fun and let's go!
Chapter One: A Midnight Meeting
It was a clear night in Amity Park. The moon was full but there were clouds in the distance that threatened rain.
At this time of night, most people are asleep. Since it was almost midnight, everyone should be snug in their warm beds.
Of course, there are a few exceptions.
A trio of teens, two boys and a girl, could be seen flitting from shadow to shadow in the park in the center of town.
The boy in the lead is the one who is most alert. He has unruly black hair and ice-blue eyes. He wears a dark blue jacket with a white t-shirt underneath and blue jeans. The girl who is following him closely has violet eyes and shoulder-length black hair tied back in a small ponytail. She has on black jeans and a purple tank top with a dark purple coat wrapped around her. Lagging behind them a ways is an African-American boy with a red beret, glasses, and a PDA. His outfit consists of green cargo pants, a yellow turtleneck, and a khaki jacket. This last teen is trying to stifle a yawn and failing miserably.
Their names, respectively, are Danny Fenton, Samantha Manson (who goes by Sam), and Tucker Foley. They are best friends and they share a secret. For you see, Danny Fenton has another side to him that only a handful of people know. He is a halfa, someone who is half-ghost and half-human. This 'alter ego' of his is known as Danny Phantom and is considered the 'unofficial' protector of Amity Park.
Right now, however, Danny, Sam, and Tucker were looking for someone or something that wasn't a ghost.
"Are you sure you saw something out here?" Tucker asked sleepily, raising a hand to his mouth to cover a yawn.
"Of course I did, Tuck," Danny replied, glancing around quickly. "You can't miss something like that when it's flying around in front of a full moon."
"And you're sure it wasn't a ghost?" Sam shivered as she spoke, pulling her jacket closer around her bare shoulders.
"This thing wasn't green or transparent. It had wings and a tail, but looked human. And when I got here, my ghost sense didn't go off." Danny sighed and sat down on the edge of the fountain they had come to.
Sam sat down next to him and patted his leg. "Don't worry about it right now, Danny. We'll look for it more this weekend. We need to get home. We do have class tomorrow."
Danny sighed again and stood up. "Yeah, you're right. I'm going ghost!" At that, a ring of blue light appeared at Danny's waist. It split into two and they separated. As the rings traveled farther apart, more of Danny's other half was revealed.
This Danny wore a black Spandex suit with a white collar and belt, white boots and gloves, and white D on his chest. At his right side hung the Fenton Thermos, his most useful (and reliable) tool for fighting ghosts. His black hair changed to white and his bright blue eyes changed to a glowing ghostly green. This was Danny Phantom, the protector of Amity Park.
Sam watched Danny's transformation with awe. She had seen him transform many, many times but it never seemed to get less exciting. Danny had come into his powers almost two years ago when an accident in his parent's lab had melded ghost DNA with his human DNA. Now, at 16, Danny had finally grown into his powers. He could use the Ghostly Wail whenever he wanted. Even though it still took a lot of energy out of him, it didn't completely knock him out anymore. On the plus side, he had managed to duplicate himself. He could now become four Danny's instead of just one.
Danny had also gained the respect of the town. Even though the ghost hunters still tried to capture him on occasion (especially his parents since they didn't know his secret), he no longer had regular people who feared him.
Sam stood and stretched, scratching the back of her head in the process. "Well, we had better head home. A new school year starts tomorrow. Hooray," Sam smirked, sarcasm dripping from her last word.
"Yeah, we should. Hey, Tuck, let's go!" Danny looked around, wondering where his friend had disappeared to.
Sam looked around as well. She couldn't see Tucker anywhere. Suddenly, she spotted a spot of red on the ground. She grabbed Danny's arm and pointed to it.
Danny and Sam made their way over to it. When they reached it, both of them had to work very had to keep from laughing. On the cold, and slightly damp ground, Tucker had curled up in a fetal position and gone to sleep.
Danny shook his head and bent over to pick up his sleeping friend. He went to sling him over his shoulder when Sam shook her head.
"Take him home like that, then come back. I'll be fine by myself for a while." Sam smiled at him.
Danny raised an eyebrow. "Are you sure? It is awfully late, you know."
Sam nodded and smiled again. "Yeah. I've got the Specter Deflector and the Fenton Anti-Creep Stick. Plus, when you get back, we can have some alone time."
Danny chuckled and leaned in to give his girlfriend a kiss. He floated up and backwards, smiling at her.
Sam watched him with a smile on her face until he turned invisible and flew Tucker home. She activated the Specter Deflector around her waist and kept a firm grip on the Fenton Anti-Creep Stick (a.k.a. a baseball bat with Jack Fenton's face on it). She sat down on one of the benches around the fountain, waiting and reflecting on her relationship with Danny.
They had been dating for about a year now. Danny had been in a fight with Walker and Technus (the Ghost Zone's prison warden who kept trying to put Danny in jail, and the annoying ghost who was 'Master of All Things Electronic' according to himself and the 'Master of Long-Winded Introductions' by Danny and his friends). He had been hurt badly and couldn't go home. Sam had set up a temporary room for him in her attic and took care of him for the month that he needed to recover.
After a while, Sam would wait until Danny had fallen asleep and then talk to him about school, or homework, or even her feelings for him. One of those times, however, Danny had only been pretending to be asleep and Sam had confessed her love to him. Danny had opened his eyes and told her the same thing. Needless to say, Sam had been pleasantly surprised. They had shared their first 'real' kiss that night (the two 'fakeout-makeouts' hadn't counted) and now could almost always be seen together.
Sam broke out of her reverie when she heard boots tapping lightly on the sidewalk next to her. She tightened her grip on the baseball bat and checked to make sure the Specter Deflector was working properly.
A girl appeared in the moonlight next to Sam. This, however, was no ordinary girl. The first thing Sam noticed was that the girl had dark red leathery wings tucked against her back and a red tail with an arrowhead shape at the end. The girl had bright red hair and very pale skin with pointed ears and bright red eyes.
Sam stared at the girls outfit. It seemed very similar to Danny's. This girl wore a blank tank-top with red stripes slanting diagonally across it. On her arms were red fingerless gloves that went all the way past her elbows with a single black stripe running down the outside of her arms. The girl's pants were black hip huggers with red stitching. The outfit was completed with red boots that had black laces running up the side and black stitching.
The girl turned to Sam with a small, slightly sad, smile on her face. She then turned to stare that the place where Danny had disappeared. "You're lucky. You've got a great guy." The girl turned back to Sam.
Sam shook herself out of her examination and stood up to face the girl. "Who are you? What do you want with Danny? How do you know him? When--- "
"Whoa, girl," the girl chuckled slightly and held up a hand to stop Sam. "No need to worry about your boy. He's in no danger from me. My name is Demonica and I'm a halfa."
Sam started at this statement. "A…a halfa…? But I thought…halfa's were only those who are half-ghost and half-human. You're definitely no ghost or Danny wouldn't have left."
Demonica chuckled slightly, marveling at the girl's intelligence. She then shook her head and answered, "Nope. 'Halfa' is more of a general term than a specific one. Halfa's are any being that is half-human, half-something else. Me? I'm half-human, half-demon."
Sam nodded slightly, a sign for the other girl to finish answering her questions.
"Anyway, as I was saying, I'm a halfa. My parents were obsessed with demons. They wanted to learn so much about them that they built a demon portal to access the Demon Realm. Well, the night they went to test it, it didn't work and they couldn't figure out what was wrong with it. Well, they left and I decided to take a look myself. When I did, I accidentally---"
"---turned the machine on and got blasted with Demon energy. You were knocked unconscious and when you woke up, you found that your DNA had been fused with Demon DNA," Sam finished for her with a small smile on her face.
Demonica just stared at her. "How did you…I mean…?"
"'Cause that's pretty much the same thing that happened to Danny, only with Ghost Portal and DNA instead of Demon."
Demonica smiled at that. Suddenly, her smiled turned to a frown. She glanced up and stepped back into the shadows surrounding the fountain.
"Sam, don't tell Danny about this yet. It will be our secret. I promise that I will tell him in the very near future. Promise me?" Demonica's voice was all Sam could make out of the girl.
Sam nodded and she heard a faint "good" and a slight rustle of branches as Demonica moved away from the Goth girl.
Sam stared at the place where Demonica had vanished. A few seconds later, she felt herself swept up in a ghostly embrace.
"You sure took a long time, you know." Sam wrapped her arms around Danny's neck and gave him a quick peck on the cheek.
"Well, Tucker's house is clear on the other side of town," Danny whispered in her ear. "So, anybody bother you while I was gone?"
"Nope. I'm pretty sure all 'smart' people are in bed, Mr. Phantom," Sam teased, trying to ignore the little nagging voice in the back of her mind that was reminding her of her conversation with Demonica.
Danny laughed and tightened his grip on her protectively. "If the 'smart' people are in bed, what does that make you, Miss Manson?"
Sam smiled and gazed into Danny's glowing green eyes. She loved him, and though most people told her that 'Love at 16 isn't real,' she knew that she wanted to spend the rest of her life with him. " I do believe that makes me lucky."
The couple flew off towards the darkened city. They didn't notice the blazing red eyes watching them from the darkness.
A faint voice spoke sadly, "So lucky, Sam. So lucky."
Well, there's the first chapter boys and girls! Did you like it? Can't wait for more? RxR and let me know!
