I'm glad to hear a lot of people really enjoyed Andy's ghost form, especially his eyes. Apparently you guys thought his eyes would be a ghostly blue due to Danny's eyes being green, that's a fair logic there, but I'm a bit more creative than that. Anyways, please enjoy the chapter.
Chapter 6: Infestation
I was looking at my hands… all of this felt unreal- like it's just another dream, but this is a dream I can't wake up from. I mean… I'm able to walk through walls… disappear… fly… it's almost like my brother's powers!
And yet… I couldn't help but think to myself; is this really the result of powers… or the same illness I was sure was taking me over and killing me before? At first I figured it was an illness, a disease, but I was proven wrong when I discovered I have a ghost form too. That couldn't have been an illness, because then I wouldn't have a ghost form… right?
I remember Tucker didn't have a ghost form when Desiree gave him ghost powers- he looked the same when he used his powers, just that he had an unnatural green aura on him. He started mutating later, but otherwise he didn't exactly have a ghost form. Who am I fooling? I can't just keep lying to myself. If I have these powers I should at least try to get used to them so they wouldn't randomly trigger at the wrong time…
I remember Danny telling me how some of his powers worked, and from that knowledge, I was trying to use it to help keep these powers under control. I walked around a bit and my feet would go intangible I would then grab the ground with my hands and pull myself up- I refuse to give up until I can get it under control. Sometimes I would go invisible, or parts of my body would disappear, sometimes I would float and I had to hang on to a rock or a tree to keep from going too high.
As the hours passed, and the early evening turned into midnight, I kept at it. It's possible I've been at this for a couple of days but I hardly noticed. I looked at my hands… one was invisible and the other was intangible. I did this on purpose to see if I could manipulate it. I think it's possible to be both invisible and intangible too, but that might be a bit too advanced for me right now, and I only want to keep my powers from acting up rather than actually use them. This is just until I can find a way to become full human again, assuming it's possible.
Finally, I think I've got the intangibility and invisibility down, somewhat, at least to a degree it won't do it randomly. Come to think of it… do I even have a ghost sense? I don't think it reacted to Desiree… but then again, it could have been that I was just getting used to my senses… My body and mind isn't used to this, it'll probably be a few days until my body gets used to this- after all, it took a while for Danny's to, but at least my mind isn't a stranger to ghosts.
I paid close attention to whenever my powers acted up, the intangibility usually acted up with my emotions- if I became too stressed, nervous or upset, I would literally begin sinking into the ground. Invisibility came with embarrassment and not wanting to be seen. And flying usually came with a feeling of lightness, not light headed, but just being light- calmness and usually a joyful emotion, hence why I floated when I was laughing at my brother earlier when his ghost ray came out of his behind.
So by now I've got invisibility, flight, and intangibility under control, not to mention transformation… I just have to figure out how to make a ghost ray, maybe see if I have a ghost sense, and that might be all. Well, hopefully I wouldn't have to use it, the ghost ray is a dangerous weapon… unlike the ray gun I used to use, it can hurt both ghosts and humans- but I guess I should at least try to use it… if I have to. Maybe I don't need to use it, or maybe I won't even have the power to use it, after all, since every ghost- halfa or not- is different. I have no idea how to summon it, so I might as well ignore it for now.
I looked up at the night sky… I wonder what time it is now? The party's already long over, and I'm pretty sure Danny and Sam went home. It's pretty dark out here, the only light source were the stars- I guess the only reason why it's so easy for me to see out here is because I'm… well, a ghost, the dark is no problem for a ghost. I had wanted to see if I should keep going to make sure I have everything under control, but seeing how late it is it's best if I just head home for now.
No, I did not fly home, I'm not crazy- I only learned how NOT to fly. I was just glad to make it home in one piece. By the time I made it to my room, my eyes widened when I saw it was already 3:23 in the morning! … Oh dang… I've really been out there way too long! I'm gonna be wiped out in school… and thankfully for me everyone's already asleep so my parents and Jazz wouldn't scold me for coming home so late.
I don't see Danny in his bed… I guess he's out on his night patrol. I would go look for him… but I'm too tired. As soon as my head hit the pillow I all but blacked out. And all too soon, that alarm buzzed through the room.
"Ugh…" I mumbled weakly, trying to grab the alarm clock, but with no luck. "Stupid… alarm… turn off…!"
"Morning bro, are you- whoa." I heard Danny say, clearly noticing how tired I was… along with the fact that I was still in my clothes from yesterday. "Uh… you okay?"
I grumbled as I sat up, he's a lot more used to these late nights than I was clearly, I'll bet I look like a mess- heck I FEEL like a mess! "Had… a very late night." I said with a yawn.
"...Seriously?" Danny blinked, sweatdropping. "Why were you up so late, Andy? I thought you'd be back home by midnight, not… well, not later than that! And you've been gone almost a whole weekend. You're lucky I've been covering for you."
"The entire weekend? I just wanted to make sure I didn't end up waking up on top of the kitchen table again." I said. Danny blinked before he grinned, and I quickly said, "No Danny, I'm not training my powers, I'm just making sure they don't act up on me, that is ALL."
"That is training!" he said cheekily, still smirking at me as he held a hand out to me. "Now c'mon- let's get you out of bed, it's time for school soon."
I gave him an annoyed glare, but he helped me out bed. I was so glad to be able to clean myself up from the mess I looked- I had to comb my hair twice as long to help smooth it out from all the mud and twigs that got caught up in it.
When we were downstairs for breakfast, however, Dad couldn't help resist showing off one of his inventions. "Dad… what is this?" It looked like calculator.
"This is our newest invention! The Fenton Ghost Level!" Dad announced proudly.
"The what now?" Danny asked from beside me, chewing on his cereal, and he's eating Fruit Loops… no comment.
Mom, who was beside Dad, was more than happy to explain it. "It can scan any nearby ghosts, whether they're invisible or not, and tell us how powerful they are. It goes from a scale level of 1-10, 10 being the strongest and 1 being the weakest- that's about how high we can get it for now since it's only in the prototype stage."
Huh… come to think of it… I remember a possibility that Danny could sense how powerful as ghost was, though I wasn't all that sure about it. I wonder if that thing worked on half ghosts? It might, all their other inventions seemed to have reacted to my brother before. Hmm… I'm actually quite curious how powerful Danny is- he has been fighting ghosts for a while, and he's developed his powers quite nicely despite having been in the accident twice. Still… I couldn't exactly wave it at him…
Suddenly, the calculator beeped. "THERE ARE -TWO- GHOSTS IN THE AREA. CALCULATING POWER LEVELS." ...W-wait, what!? It can sense me too!? ...That's right- I'm a half ghost too now!
"Huh!? TWO ghosts!?" Dad grinned like he just won the jackpot. "Great! What are their power levels? C'mon c'mon c'mon…!"
I dropped my spoon into my own cereal bowl and Danny did a spit take, Dad raised an eyebrow, "Whoa! One of them is a level 6 and the other is a level 3! This is amazing! One of them is a pretty high level, Mads, we've gotta find those ghosts!"
Level 3? I suppose that's understandable since I literally just got my ghost powers and planning to get rid of it somehow. So Danny's a level 6, guess all those ghost fighting have been paying off. Danny grumbled and kept his face down. I looked over at Jazz, who looked a bit surprised herself, after Sam made that wish, I'm sure she remembered Danny's half ghost, but she has no idea about my own powers… should I tell her?
"Two ghosts?" Jazz said in confusion.
"Uh, heh… well you know, they're invisible and all, and one of them is a pretty low level one." I said nervously.
Danny coughed nervously and said, "We really should get going now, come on bro!" he suddenly grabbed my arm and dragged me out the door.
"Geez Danny, what was that about?" I asked.
"Nothing, but… we really need to get you some training." he said.
"I don't need training- I'd rather just have enough to keep them under control, nothing more." I said firmly, tugging my arm out of my brother's grip.
Danny gave me an annoyed frown, crossing his arms. "And when ghosts go after you thinking that you're me, what then? They can sense other ghosts too, ya know!"
"Trust me, it wouldn't be the first time they went after me because they thought I was you." I grumbled, clearly remembering that time when Walker had his goons invade Amity Park- half of them attacked me thinking I was Danny, and I was HUMAN back then. "If I can handle an army of ghosts as a human then, I can handle them just fine now."
Danny sighed, shaking his head. "Not if they all gang up on you- I have trouble with that myself! Trust me Andy, you'll need training. Please? I promise I'd work with you on it!"
"Look, I'm not going to be a half ghost superhero! That's supposed to be your job and your job alone." I said, pointing at his forehead. "It was your destiny to be a halfa, what I did was purely an accident."
"Really? Because I don't believe that." he said, gently pushing my finger away from his forehead.
"Why not?" I frowned, looking at him.
"You once told me you believe that everything happens for a reason, even accidents." Danny said. "So why can't you believe that now?"
I blinked but turned away from him. "It's… it's not really something I could just accept…"
"Are you scared of these powers?" he asked me, gently putting a hand on my shoulder.
"It's not the powers themselves I'm scared of." I said. "It's… how I could use them. These kind of powers, to be able to fly, turn invisible, go through solid matter- it's so very easy to abuse them that it's scary."
Danny sighed, his grip on my shoulder tightening slightly. "I know, bro… I know… sometimes I feel the same way- I don't think I ever told you about how just before Freakshow came to town I was framed for a jewelry store robbery when the ghosts who were robbing it tossed their stolen goods at me and I got caught with them. The thing is… I nearly thought about taking them- I didn't, obviously, but still… I so easily could've."
"But you didn't, and that's the important thing." I said with a sigh. "But even then I'm sure you abused those powers of yours once in a while, to get back at bullies or to take a peek in the girls locker room."
"H-how did you-?" He was blushing red in shock, and most likely from embarrassment.
I gave an amused chuckle. "I remember seeing that guy's pants stuffed with frogs from a floating box once, and don't think I forgot that time when you fought with Tucker- you went into the girl's locker room."
"...E-er…" Danny coughed awkwardly, glancing away. "...D-don't tell anyone else, especially Sam okay? She'd kill me…"
"Bro, if I wanted to tell her that I would've done so already." Suddenly I felt something really hot coming up my throat… ugh, do I have heartburn or something? I opened my mouth to get some cool air into my hot throat, but to my surprise a dark blue mist came out, and at the same time Danny's lighter blue mist came out of his mouth.
"...Huh." Danny blinked, glancing at me. "Seems like we've got a ghost nearby…"
I expected the ghost sense to be cold, why was mine so hot? Danny then looked around before looking up. I looked up too and was surprised to see a giant green bug... It looked like some kind of fat mosquito. I hate regular mosquitoes enough as it is, but a giant ghost one!? Oy…
"It's flying to the school! We'll never catch it on foot!" I grumbled, meaning I'll either have to fly or let my brother handle this on his own.
"..." Danny grinned at me knowingly, raising an eyebrow and crossing his arms. "Well then… I guess we'd better get to flying, huh bro? Ready to try out your new powers?"
"I can't control my flight, Danny." I said with frown. "I've only learned how to keep myself from flying."
"Sheesh, in that case I've got a lot to teach you then." Danny said with a sigh.
"Look, you go on ahead and take on that giant ghost bug I'll see what I can do." I said to him. "AS human!"
"Fine, but you're going to have to use those powers of yours some time, bro." my brother said to me, before he raised up his arms. "I'm going ghost!" And with those words, he transformed into Danny Phantom once again.
He flew off after that giant ghost bug as I ran after them, knowing Danny will have to fight that bug alone since I couldn't fly up there myself… well… I… I could but… I sighed as I looked up at him a she fired his Ghost Ray and knocked the ghost bug back, but I felt weird… it's not because of my ghost powers though, I still feel saying that, but something else… I felt this feeling before… back when Danny and Sam got into that argument… before Desiree…
Ugh… what's happening to me? My head feels so… it's like it's thumping hard… but when I looked up at Danny again, that's when my eyes grew wide and I couldn't stop staring at my brother- no matter how fast he was, I couldn't stop staring at him.
"Bug… zapper!" Danny said with a smirk as he avoided the giant ghost mosquito, and it hit the electric wires, causing it to be zapped.
The ghost mosquito then suddenly dispersed into thousands of tiny versions of itself, and Danny frowned when he saw them, and they all swarmed the school.
The little ghost bugs evaded my brother and Danny sighed, grumbling to himself, "One down… and a billion to go…" before he flew down into the school himself.
My pounding headache finally stopped and my eyes finally turned away from the sky… ugh… why do I keep having these random daydreams when I watch my brother? I looked up again to see Danny was still fighting that giant ghost mosquito, as if when it became those thousands of smaller bugs never happened… what's going on with me?
I shook my head, trying to dispel whatever came over me and saw Danny just got tangled in some goopy mess before falling into a tree. I ran over to see Paulina happened to be crossing by, and she looked at Danny, shocked to see him there upside down.
"G-ghost boy!?" she stammered out, her eyes wide in shock. "I… what are you doing? And upside down too!"
"Oh… h-hi, Paulina!" Danny said with a nervous smile. "You should probably run now."
Paulina gave a smile before running towards him, making Danny quickly say, "No! Not towards me! Away, run!"
I ran over to Paulina and grabbed her arm before that giant ghost bug could get at her, that would've been nasty if it was after her blood. "What do you think you're doing? You'll get hurt!"
Paulina frowned, and she looked at me, "But… the ghost boy…"
"He's a ghost hunter Paulina, whenever you see him he'll be fighting with ghosts!" I said to her, frowning.
She sighed, I was expecting her to yell at me to let her go, but to my surprise she wasn't putting up much of a struggle, "I-I know, but…"
"Look, just get to school before something else happens, the ghost boy can take care of himself." I said to her.
Paulina frowned, she looked back to see my ghostly brother punching the big ghost bug away and she sighed, "Fine, but only because I can't talk to him while he's fighting that thing."
I sighed in relief when she ran off and I looked back to see the ghost bug chasing Danny towards the electric wires… wait… the electric wires!? B-but that's…
"Bug…" Danny smirked before he dodged the ghost bug last second and it flew right into the wires, shocking it, just like in my daydream earlier. "Zapper!"
I had to shut my eyes because it was so bright, but when I managed to open them again… oh no… there were thousands of those tiny versions of that giant ghost mosquito! Everything happened just like that weird daydream earlier!
Those little ghost bugs flew towards the school, swarming it, just like I predicted. "Well, one down… and a billion to go…" I heard Danny sigh from the air.
"Danny!" I called up to him before he could fly towards the sky.
"Andy?" He flew down and landed in front of me. "You know, you could've helped back there."
I frowned and sighed, "I couldn't reach either of you, you were both flying around so much."
"Here's an idea; next time why don't you FLY with us?" Danny rolled his green glowing eyes.
"Ugh… Look, even though I am ABLE to fly it doesn't mean I can keep up with you. I've only learned how NOT to do it while in human form, okay? I can't control where I fly or how fast I would go!" I said back, grumbling in annoyance.
"Then why don't you actually try to learn to fly? That would make it a lot easier." Danny said with a frown.
I looked down, "... I don't… I don't really want to use these ghost powers, we've talked about this. Why can't you just carry me and I fight with the Fenton Rod like before?"
"Come on Andy, that was when you were human, you're part ghost like I am now so wouldn't it be better if you'd just use your powers to fight instead of just weapons all the time?" Danny asked me.
Logically, he makes a good point, it would be better to use the actual powers to fight the ghosts rather than just the standard weapons, as a human I had no choice but to rely on them, but now… Ugh… I hated this, I wasn't ready to be a half ghost superhero… I only wanted to help Danny as an underdog human…
"I… I don't… know how…" I spoke up almost silently, so silently that if he didn't have acute hearing he might've missed it.
"Then you should learn… bro, I can teach you, but only if you'd let me." Danny said softly, putting a hand on my shoulder. His hand was cold since he was in ghost form, but I knew he was trying to comfort me, he must know that I was scared since he had to go through the same thing, only he himself didn't know what was going on with him until later.
I didn't want to accept this yet, and with those ghost bugs loose in the school we should probably get there. "Let's just get to school before we're late."
Danny looked at me with a small frown before he said, "Alright fine, but at least think about it bro." And with that, the ring appeared on his torso as he turned back to human.
When we got to school I headed over to my locker while Danny went to talk to Tucker and Sam, I wasn't really paying attention to them. Tucker was putting on some weird cologne, I think he said he made it himself… and he smells like sweet tarts and gym shoes… that was a weird smell. I was getting my history and science books out when I heard buzzing behind me and my throat got hot before that dark blue mist came out of my mouth again making me frown as I turned back, oh great, I almost forgot about those little ghost bugs that were flying around here.
But when I turned I saw Paulina walking past more boys, who were all gawking at her like usual, she ignored them as usual. "So many boys… but only one you." I heard her say before opening her locker door.
I turned away, I already saw that creepy shrine to my brother's ghost form I didn't need to see it again. "Hey Danny, Tucker, Sam." I spoke up to my friends.
"Hmm? What's wrong Andy?" Sam asked.
"Are you still bummed out that you got ghost powers? Come on man, lighten up! That's an awesome thing! Do you know what you could do with those powers?" Tucker smiled excitedly before Sam punched his arm. "Ow!"
"You mean like when YOU used them and almost killed them?" Sam snapped at him.
"Th-that wasn't my fault okay?" Tucker pouted.
"Actually, I was going to say that I'm going to talk to Jazz for a bit, so go ahead and get to class without me." I said.
"Why bro?" Danny frowned. "I mean Jazz…"
Yeah, Jazz isn't exactly in the loop, or she's not supposed to be according to these three anyway, but Jazz was the one who helped me when Danny first became half ghost, and I really needed to talk to her. "I know, but it's really about an assignment."
"Well if you're sure…" Danny said.
"We'll see you in class." Sam nodded to me.
"But don't be late, Mr. Lancer doesn't like that." Tucker said as I nodded.
I turned to find Jazz, thankfully she was easy to find since she was still in the hallway. "Hey Jazz."
Jazz looked up and smiled, "Hey Andy, ready for another day at school?"
"Well actually, I wanted to talk to you about something." I said hesitantly.
"Sure, what about?" She asked, giving me her full attention.
I took a deep breath and said, "Well… Jazz… say you were the one in that accident instead of Danny, what would you do with ghost powers?"
Jazz blinked before she crossed her arms thinking for a bit, I waited patiently before she said, "Well… that would be hard to say. I suppose with great powers comes with great responsibility, you can either use it for yourself as personal gain or you can use it to help or endanger people. I'd probably use it to try to help people if I could."
"But what if you don't want to use it, what then?" I asked.
"Well… you can't just ignore it. I mean if you have powers you have powers, you should at least try to embrace what you have, right?" Jazz said with a shrug.
I looked down… maybe she's right… I don't think these powers are something I can just ignore… Suddenly my throat got really hot, but I didn't want Jazz to know another one of her brothers was half dead so I kept my mouth shut, but it was hard as my 'ghost sense' was burning my mouth! But I quickly forgot that when I saw a tiny ghost bug fly on Jazz's neck and literally just went inside her!
My mouth dropped open, letting that dark blue mist come out, but thankfully Jazz was distracted as she slapped at the back of her neck where that bug was.
"Ow!" she snapped. "Was that a bug bite?"
"Uh…" I frowned before hearing a lot of buzzing noises and turned to see the whole student body were getting swarmed by these ghost bugs. "It's the bug plague!"
What are these ghost bugs doing? They're going into people? That's just nasty! I ducked my head under cover and watched as those little suckers swarm the rest of the school… it's kinda weird, they seem to be ignoring me…. and everyone else who got 'bitten', were they… homing in on people?
"Andy! I could use some help over here!" I heard my brother shouted from the wall- wait what?
YAH! I nearly jumped out of my skin when I saw my brother's intangible head popping out of the wall right in front of me! "D-D-DANNY! ARE YOU TRYING TO GIVE ME A HEART ATTACK!?" I snapped at him.
"No, but I'm trying to get you to use your ghost powers to help." Danny said as he sucked in a swarm of those ghost bugs nearby with the Fenton Thermos.
"Are you kidding me? Stop trying to get me to use these powers!" I snapped before turning. "Oh shoot…" I saw Dash running as more swarms were aiming at him.
"WAAAAH!" Dash screamed, running to the bathroom.
"Dash!" I ran after him in concern. I wanted to make sure he was okay.
"Andy wait!" I heard Danny shout for me, but I didn't wait, instead I kept running.
What the…? I just saw Dash literally phasing through the bathroom door! H-how? I frowned… something definitely wasn't right here, you know, other than the ghost bugs invading people's bodies like parasites.
I gulped as I opened the door, "D-Dash? Are you okay?"
"Ugh… I… I don't feel so good…" I heard Dash moaning from behind one of the stalls. Why does it suddenly feel like I'm in a horror movie?
"Um… Dash, could you please tell me what's wrong?" I cautiously asked, half expecting some kind of alien popping out of his chest or something.
"I… I… I feel… weird…" He answered, moaning.
"What do you mean?" I asked, hoping he would be more specific, but he didn't say anything else after that.
I frowned in concern, putting my ear on the stall door hoping Dash was still alive in there, but then suddenly green- what I think is- ghost ray shot out of the door! I gave a startled yelp as I stumbled back, and as soon as the door was opened I was shocked to see Dash coming out, but as a hideous green monster version of himself! It's almost like he's been mutated or turned into a ghost himself. The only other time I've seen him something similar to this was when I had weird hallucinations on the day my brother was in the hospital.
"GET AWAY!" Dash shouted at me in a distorted tone.
"Dash! What happened to you?" If I hadn't believed I was in a horror movie before I definitely believe it now! I screamed when he reached out to grab me with his claws.
If only I had the Fenton Rod… but no, I… I'll have to rely on my powers again. Danny was too busy taking care of the ghost bugs in the school, so I'm on my own! The mutated ghost Dash lunged at me again, I ran into the stall and shut the door, that would be useless to a ghost, but it seemed the mutated ghost Dash didn't know how to use intangibility because I felt him trying to break down the door instead of going through it.
Okay, I can't hesitate any longer, if he breaks down the door then I'm finished. I shut my eyes and gritted my teeth, I felt that cold feeling waiting to be used again and pulled on it, feeling its power spreading through my body and a bright flash of light appeared on my torso, splitting the rings horizontally and changing me into my ghost form. It felt both weird and strangely comforting to be back in this dark blue and white hazmat suit.
Almost as soon I had completed the transformation, the mutated Dash destroyed the door and roared at me like an animal. "I hate to do this to you Dash, but I have no choice, I'm going to have to knock you out!"
I wasn't familiar with the powers this ghost body has, but I am aware of the basics on how to use things like invisibility, intangibility and a little bit on the ghost ray since I was practicing on how not to use the two of them and have a small grip on how to use the last one. If I'm not mistaking, melee attacks like punching and kicking should work too.
The mutated Dash lunged at me again and I retaliated by kicking him in the chest, I was actually surprised at how far back I sent his body with that kick, I would've expected him to only be slightly pushed back at best. I better be careful, these powers are much stronger than I originally thought. Of course, having his back slammed into the wall didn't stop mutated Dash, he roared and aimed at me again.
"Alright, ghost ray…" I decided to try it out since I didn't trust myself to punch or kick him, I didn't want to hurt him too much. I held out my hand and tried to focus on the core's power, trying to force it into my hand.
I felt something like warm water forming on my hand, it was like warm water but in a circled globe, at least that's what it felt like as I was forming the ghost ray. Mutated Dash jumped at me and I quickly released it, shooting a green beam at him, the force of it caused mutated Dash to hit the ceiling and he groaned. I quickly caught him before he could hit the ground.
Mutated Dash gave me a pitiful look before he suddenly reverted back to normal, or as normal as he could be in his current state, he was human again at least, and he moaned before falling unconscious.
"Dash…" He felt cold, almost like how my brother felt when in ghost form... this wasn't a good sign.
All those ghost bugs, what were they after exactly? They didn't suck anyone's blood, I doubt ghost bugs would want human blood anyway, and they didn't bite anyone they just phased into their skin, which is really gross and disturbing. Whatever these ghost bugs did it was far from normal, it mutated Dash into some kind of ghost monster, and they were aiming at all the students.
"Andy!" I almost jumped when I heard Danny's voice, he came through the bathroom door as human and looked at me, seeing me in my ghost form and had the unconscious Dash in my arms. "Uh…?"
I better explain myself before his imagination takes hold. "Dash mutated into some ghost monster, I had to go ghost to defend myself."
"Ah." Danny nodded before he smiled. "See bro? I told you that using your powers was better!"
"Ugh, forget about that Danny, we have more important things to worry about right now! These ghost bugs are infecting everyone and it's mutating them!" I snapped, knowing now was not the time to discuss about whether or not I use my ghost powers.
"Oh right, one went into Sam earlier too." Danny frowned.
Suddenly we heard the school's fire alarm going off, the teachers probably just now realized there's an infestation going around.
"ALL STUDENTS WHO HASN'T BEEN BITTEN MUST EVACUATE THE PREMISE IMMEDIATELY! THE REST WILL STAY HERE UNDER QUARANTINE!"
We heard Mr. Lancer's voice booming over the speakers, I frowned as I looked over at Danny, "You better put Dash down and change back to human bro."
I sighed, I didn't want to leave Dash unconscious alone here in the bathroom, but I guess we shouldn't stay here either or our parents will be worried sick, not to mention I rather not get caught up in quarantine lockdown. "Alright."
It wasn't that hard to revert back to human after knowing how to do it, it was easy when I wanted to be human again and reach for the warmth inside my ghostly form. I'm pretty sure ghosts don't normally have a warm spot inside them unless they're some kind of pyro and even then it would be blazing hot and not the soft kind of warmth.
Anyways, as soon as I returned to my human form- wow, that still feels weird thinking that- we gently put Dash down before we hurried into the hallway with the rest of the uninfected kids out of the school door, where all the teachers, ambulances and our parents were waiting for us- geez, did the teachers decided to call everyone out here before telling us all to evacuate? Talk about irresponsible. Regardless, I'm glad we made it out of there, but… I can't say the same for most of the student body.
Interesting deleted idea here; originally Andy was supposed to believe he got the ghost disease from these ghost bugs. But it worked better when he was in denial in the earlier chapter and I didn't want to write him still believing he got a ghost disease after it was proven to him it's not. Andy's smarter than that, he knows when to stop denying the truth. Although he still refuses to use these powers, he's such a paranoid stubborn boy. Anyways guys I have a couple of people who does fanart for this and My Brother's a Ghost story, you can check them out in devianart. Their names are sonicydannyphantom and BlueSkyWaterChaos. Now as always I am DarkFoxKit and I look forward to hearing from you.
