Okay! Okay! I'm back! PLEASE DON'T TAKE MY HEAD! Lol…

Thanks for all the reviews! Really appreciated! XD I don't really like the response stuff people put in their chapters, honestly. It just makes it look longer than it really is. -_-

I frickin remember what I was going to say the other day! (Er, type, not say. XD) I need more shadow animal names! I have a few more, but way too many animals that I might use! :D Thanks!

Also, I drew a picture of a few of the shadow animals. I was bored, stuck at home (don't ask) and I have some… sad stuff planned that I know I'll get crap about soon, so I drew Midnight, Star, a bird that I could add (maybe…) and a fox I named Pepper. I'm working on Shadow… Now, I can't draw on a laptop, so I don't have a devianArt (if I even spelled that right XD) account. If you want to try, go ahead but PM me how to find it! I would love to see Midnight, Star or Shadow!

Anyway! DISCLAIMER: I'm tired of doing this! I don't own DP or ROTG! I could ask North… or, my birthday is coming up soon… :) jkjk!

Phantom Spirit

Chapter 4: Jamie

It's been a few weeks since the little… accident. Danny hadn't seen any of the Guardians since; not even Jack. Time flies when you're immortal! Or Clockwork was messing with him…

But at the moment, he was relieved about that. Not because of the whole "They want him to be a Guardian" thing, but because Halloween was soon. And by soon, I mean the next day.

It's been a lot of weight on his shoulders! Not only did he have the shadow animals to help, but he had the entire Ghost Zone to tell where to be and what to do! And some of the ghosts aren't very easy… (*cough* Box Ghost *cough*) And don't forget how this is his first flipping Halloween!

The Phantom of Halloween hadn't had a lot of time off! Sure, Midnight would take over for a few hours every once and a while, but she was just a fawn! And the ghosts didn't really understand her…

But at the moment, this was one of these times. Shadow and Midnight got him to take a break for a few hours. Danny didn't want to at first, but fell for the puppy eyes of Midnight. Seriously. Shadow was a coyote, a canine, and a deer could do better puppy eyes!

After flying aimlessly for thirty minutes to just clear his mind of his worries, Danny landed on a random roof in a random town. He squatted down and ran a hand through his hair. All this stress was finally getting to him.

He scanned his surroundings. He recognized the place, but couldn't quite place it.

Then he spotted the group of kids running down the sidewalk. It was late enough that it was dark, but he guessed they were going home for a group sleep over or something.

Two of the kids had dark skin and looked like twins. One had blue jeans, spiked up dark hair and a red short sleeved shirt. The other had blue jeans, a dark blue T-shirt and a red cap on his head. They both were wearing white sneakers with black laces. Then there was a shorter boy with blond hair and red glasses. He was kind of pale and had a nice looking, plad, green shirt, blue jeans with the ends rolled up, and white sneakers.

Then there was the larger (whether it was fat, muscle or both, he didn't know) girl with matty, short, brown hair. She had a dark pink T-shirt, short blue jeans, and white sneakers with pink stitching. The other girl had brown hair that went down to her shoulders and was slightly taller than the twins. She had a purple long sleeved shirt and light blue jeans that hid her black boots.

But the boy that caught Danny's attention was the one walking next to the second girl. He was fairly short and had messy brown hair. He had a dark orange shirt with sleeves that ended at his elbows and a black bat on the chest. He had blue jeans on like the others, but his were darker. His shoes were white sneakers with black bottom and laces.

'Jamie,' Danny though. The kids were talking and laughing as they jogged down the street, shoving each other around playfully and trying to race to where ever their destination was.

A smirk grew on Danny's face as he remembered how Jack told him to not scare his first believer. 'Payback, Frosty. Payback.'

With a snap of his fingers, the lights on the streets flickered out and blinds in windows shut to keep the light from inside houses inside. He whistled for his owl, hoping he wasn't busy. His eyes glowed slightly brighter as the fog started to roll in and his owl landed beside him. Danny did all this in matter of seconds.

The owl began to "Whoooo…" from its perch on the roof when Danny hopped down. The kids stopped when the noises started, just noticing the scary scene they were in. The spirit watched silently as they formed a circle, looking in all directions. The nerdy looking kid was hiding behind the larger girl, peaking around her to see what was in the fog.

Danny knew Shadow was busy, so he called the next best thing.

Whistling again, a cloud of black mist trailed up to him, turning into a large, black cat. He patted her head and said, "Go get em, Hunter."

The large cougar leaped forward, just close enough so the kids could see a black figure in the fog. The group eyed the black shape cautiously as it circled them, growling silently.

"P-Pitch?" Jamie said shakily, standing in front of the group.

'Brave kid,' Danny thought as he stepped closer.

Hunter changed her direction and started to stalk closer to the frightened kids. The group took a step back every time she took a step forward. Soon tired of this, the feline leaped forward so she was nose to nose with Jamie.

Said kid froze in fear while his friends leapt back in surprise, the nerdy one falling and losing his glasses. Jamie's eyes flicked from the bared teeth to the creatures green eyes. The eyes were practically black the pupils were so large.

He gritted his teeth and turned his head slightly, eyes tightly shut, waiting for the cougar to attack.

He waited and waited. Soon, he peaked his eyes open a little, only to quickly shut them again when the cat licked his face.

Now confused, Jamie looked back at the cat with eyebrows furrowed. The large feline sat down and began to lick her paw. Danny about fell down with laughter at the look on their faces. Jamie held out a hand, almost jerking it back when Hunter flicked her head towards them.

She looked between the boy and his hand before looking towards where Danny was laughing his head off. The spirit took a deep breath and nodded. The cat looked back towards the even more confused kids. They were all searching the fog for what she was looking at. Jamie's hand had lowered slightly but was still up.

The brown haired boy jumped in shock when he felt something soft push on his outstretched hand. He looked back to his arm and saw the cougar was nuzzling his hand, purring softly. Jamie smiled and scratched Hunter, kneeling down before her.

Danny smiled and whistled a softer tune. Star came bounding up to him from behind.

Crouching down, he patted his head and pointed towards the group. "Fetch," he whispered softly.

The pup yipped happily and ran to the group, nudging his way through their legs. Once he made it to the middle, he picked up the fallen glasses and ran back to Danny.

The teen about face palmed. He pointed back at the group that were watching Jamie pet the cat with confused and untrusting looks. All but the boy in the middle, who was still on the floor with his hands over his head.

Now getting what his master was saying, Star ran back to the kids, now getting their attention as he now had to pull the glasses between their feet. The wolf pup set the glasses down and pawed the shaking boy playfully. He yipped happily and nudged the boy's head with his.

The blond lifted his head up enough to show his eyes. The canine grabbed his glasses and slipped them over his eyes, having done it before for multiple other kids.

The taller girl laughed as the nerdy boy sat up. She knelt by the puppy and patted his back. Yipping again, Star rolled on his back, exposing his belly for the girl to rub. As she scratched his stomach, his tail wagged and tongue hung out of his mouth.

The larger girl had joined in on petting the cougar while the twins watched fondly. The owl flew in from the roof and lands on the spiked hair twin's shoulder, still cooing.

Danny smiled at the kids as the fog dissipated. Jamie looked up from Hunter and scanned his surroundings, looking for who the animals belonged to. Clicking his tongue twice, the animals turned to mist and trailed back to him before changing back to their animal form. Star hopped on Hunter's back and lied down while the owl landed on Danny's shoulder.

The kids moaned in disappointment and started to walk again as the animals and their owner walked away thinking, 'Well, back to work!'

X.X.X.X.X

Jack was flying towards Burgess for the first time in a while. He hadn't seen Jamie and the others in a longtime and wanted to give them a surprise visit.

He had left Danny alone for a few weeks. He knew he needed time to think and not to mention Halloween was the next day!

Following his sense of direction, Jack soon found himself at Jamie's house. The winter spirit landed on the roof of the house next to Jamie's window and peaked in. The whole group were talking in hushed voices from their sleeping position, Jamie on his bed while everyone else were in sleeping bags.

He pushed the window open slightly and made a snowball in his hand. When Jack had his perfect ball of snow, he threw it in Jamie's face.

"Jack!" Jamie whispered, trying to keep quiet so his mom won't hear they were still awake. The kids scrambled out of their makeshift beds and surrounded him, all talking at once.

All Jack could really make out was something about scary, Pitch and soft.

"Whoa whoa! One at a time, kiddos!" he said, laughing slightly.

"Is Pitch back but a lot nicer?" Jamie asked immediately.

"Um… I don't recall him, why?" Jack replied, raising an eyebrow.

"Cause on our way here, there was this fog that rolled in and a black cougar was stalking us! It leapt towards us until it was in my face and scared the crap out of me!"

"And me!" Monty added in. "I jumped back, fell down and lost my glasses!"

"Anyway," Jamie continued," instead of eating me like I thought it would, it licked my face and let me pet it!"

"She was so soft!" Cupcake said from behind him.

"Then a little puppy came in and gave Monty his glasses back!" Pippa joined in. "He let me rub his belly! He was SO cute!"

"Plus the owl that sounded in the background during the scary part landed on my shoulder!" Claude interrupted.

"It was awesome!" Caleb said beside him.

"Someone scared you?" Jack said, now worried.

"Yah, but-"

"Dang it, Danny!" Jack exclaimed before Jamie could continue. "I told him not to scare you guys!" He started to walk towards the window before Jamie stopped him.

"Who's Danny?"

Jack almost faced palmed. There goes that promise to his friend. He turned back to the curious kids and mumbled, "Danny Phantom."

"What?" Jamie said eyes wide. "I think I heard you wrong…"

Jack sighed and turned around fully. "Danny Phantom," he said a little louder. "Spi- er, Phantom of Halloween. He's a friend of mine, new spirit, and sort of Guardian."

The group of kids stared at him, not able to say anything, confusing Jack.

Finally Jamie was able to speak. "Bu-But he disappeared last year…" [Be happy I didn't end it here XD]

Jack looked towards his first believer. "What?"

"Danny Phantom," Jamie said a little louder. "He saved the world from an asteroid that was going to hit Earth two years ago by getting a bunch of ghosts to turn the Earth intangible. We called it the Disasteroid. He turned out to just be a half ghost kid. His human half was Danny Fenton, some low ranked kid that lived in Amity Park."

The winter spirit just stood there, dumbfounded. Hanging out with Danny had gotten him to know what intangible meant. He remembered that day, when the glowing green asteroid passed through Santoff Clausen harmlessly. He was super interested in why he was suddenly see-through.

That meant that Danny had been a hero before he died. And Jack knew he died. A spirit only lost their memory if they did, so they wouldn't be grief stricken when loved ones walked through them or horribly afraid by the way they died.

"He disappeared last year, sometime during July," Jamie continued. "No one knew what happened to him or where he was. Did… Did he die?"

Jack looked at all the depressed kids in the room, staring at him with sad eyes. Jack had told Jamie how he became a spirit. The kid wanted to know if he could be one.

The winter spirit just noticed one of the posters in Jamie's room.

It had a green background with a teenager in a HAZMAT suit and another regular looking teen leaning back-to-back in the middle. Their arms were crossed in an identical motion. The one on the right had white hair, green eyes, and a black HAZMAT suit with white gloves, collar, belt and boots. The kid on the left had black hair, ice blue eyes, and a white T-shirt with red collar, sleeve rims and oval on the chest, blue baggy jeans, and white and red sneakers. They were both smirking identically. Below them was a large white symbol. A D with a P inside and three spike-like points coming off the straight part.

But the two teens were undeniable.

If you took the right's green eyes and put them on the black haired teen and changed his outfit to a cloak, you would be looking at the Phantom of Halloween. Exactly.

The facts matched. Amity Park was his favorite place, he looked like the two on the poster mixed together, he wouldn't be surprised if the kid he scared in Amity was really his best friend!

"Yes."

MUHAHAHAH! Cliffy! (Sort of XD)

Well, this reveals lots of how Danny's past! Not how he died, but you know what I mean. :)

This is longer than I really thought it would be. Heheh. Hope you like to read long paragraphs… HOLY CRAP! 2,523 words?! 10:06 PM?! Well, now there're more words…

So much for updating Nightfang…

PLEASE DON'T HUNT ME DOWN! You still need me to finish the story! XD If you don't kill me, 16ckelmen, I will give you cookies! *Throws one* (::)
