A/N: Two chapters at once, you lucky bunnies. Yesh, it's Valerie again. W00t. But Leah doesn't like her much… Hee, I'm loving this.

Disclaimer: I don't own Danny Phantom, though I would really really like to.

I was in my apartment room exercising as usual (I had no work, since it was vacation), when my ghost radar started beeping, signaling that a ghost was somewhere near. I clicked a button on my bracelet and a tight red suit fitted itself onto me. I grabbed my hover board and ectoplasm gun, jumped on the board and flew out the window.

I came just in time to see Fenton suck the Box Ghost into a thermos. I guessed that he got it from his parents, and just as I started wondering why he was carrying that around, I remembered that he was half ghost and ghost fighting was his job.

I heard him sigh, and grumble,

"That's the second time already that I've had to catch him. He's really annoying, you know."

"I can tell," said some girl next to him, with long brownish hair, as she raised an eyebrow.

Who is that and how does she know Fenton? I wondered.

"He can be quite a pain in the neck," Fenton rolled his eyes. "He's quite good for misplaced agression, actually."

"But in the future, he's not so harmless," the girl said quietly.

"Yeah, I know," Fenton winced. "Bad memories, bad memories.."

"What? Oh, that –"the girl noticed me. "Who's that?"

Fenton glanced at me, and jumped. When he recognised me, he sighed with relief.

"Oh, that's Valerie. She's..a.." Fenton stopped, apparently finally remembering our promise, and clamped a hand to his mouth.

"… ghost hunter?" she finished for him.

Inside my hood, my mouth dropped open. How did she know what I was? How could she?

"How'd you know?" I asked suspicously. Was she a ghost?

"I mean, look at that technology, it's obviously ghost hunting equipment," she said nervously.

I glanced at the gun in my hands, and I realized how obvious it looked.

"It's ok, Leah, we can trust her," Fenton said to the girl who was apparently named

Leah. "Uh – Valerie, Leah – Leah, Valerie."

"I'd shake your hand but I don't trust you much," I said, glaring suspiciously at her. Her blue eyes… was it just me, or did they turn yellow? She was scowling.

"I'd punch you but I don't know you much," she retorted. Fenton glanced uneasily between us.

"Leah – look into her eyes." Before I could stop her, she looked straight into my eyes.

"You don't live the full next six years of your life," she said quietly. "You sacrifice yourself, for…" her eyes turned to Fenton. She then turned back to me. "You… Plasmius binds him. You know it is risking your life, but you.. free him.. somehow, it's not clear… but Plasmius realises you're allies… and kills you somehow… as I said, I only see flashes of these things."

Fenton's eyes grew very wide, and they turned a luminscent green. Who's Plasmius? I thought.

"Plasmius.." growled Fenton. He muttered something incredibly rude under his breath.

"What… are you?" I stared at Leah.

"Human," she answered.

"She can see into people's pasts and futures," Fenton explained. His eyes were still very wide. "Geez, I knew he was evil, but.."

"Who's Plasmius?" I asked, very confused now.

"An evil ha- ghost who's twenty years older than me." Fenton replied angrily.

"Twenty years older than you when he died, you mean?"

"Uh.."

Leah interrupted, "We have to go, right Danny?"

"We do? I mean, yeah, we do.."

I glared at the two of them as they walked away.

A/N: I haven't written any further than this yet, unfortunately for you. I might take a short break from this one and do a songfic or something, so you may have to wait a while. Anyway. Danny doesn't want to tell Valerie that Plasmius is a halfa. And sweet Valerie sacrifices herself for Danny before she even turns 20 years old, very sad… Enjoy the wait.
