Sorry for the delay. Life, fanfiction being weird, and minimal internet access... on the plus side, I proved it IS possible to write an entire twenty page research paper over Thanksgiving break... in between the turkey and visiting family. :)

So here's the long awaited challenge results... ranging from crack to drama. ENJOY. That's an order. ;)

The Many Sequels to Sight (ch 20)

November 29, 2011

This by sapphireswimming

They didn't know who he was or how to get rid of him!

Opening the battered suitcase (sporting "The Professor" in faded block letters), the ghost ignored the protests of his new customers and with a snort, decided eggbeaters, trombones, and garters weren't suitable, so closed and reopened it to reveal instead the most prolific collection of eye-wear in existence: goggles, glasses, opera glasses, and even contacts that looked like transparent helmets.

"Clockwork!" one of the Observants begged. "How do we end this madness?"

Clockwork struggled to keep his poker face as he adjusted his new monocle and shrugged helplessly.

"How did we end up here?"

"We took the wrong portal."

"Maybe Clockwork was right, then."

"How's that?"

"We need to wear glasses. For our myopic sight as he called it," the first Observant said.

"But how shall they stay on us?" the second spirit asked.

"With head gear, or in our case, eye gear?"

Once they secured their one-lens glasses, they could see that they had ended up at a playground in the Real World, with several human younglings at play.

One of the boys ran over to one of the Observants and seeing the glasses, laughed, "Two eyes!"

The Forgotten Sight by Codiak

They knew everything, or so they said.

So it seemed quite odd to Clockwork that they had not seen this.

How could they, the great observers of Time, not see the merging of one of their species with a plain human?

Clockwork had known about it from the moment that the idea had crossed through one of his viewing screens.

However, his 'employers' seemed oblivious. And content with the apparent blindness that they were experiencing, Clockwork remained silent, dutifully keeping guard over the different time streams, a part of his mind always focused on the event that would soon disrupt everything that the Observers held dear.

It would change all that was previously known and create an entirely new process of thought.

Clockwork watched the risks reveal themselves, the dangers unfold. All the while, those above him didn't notice a dust particle out of line. It was astonishing in a way, how they could be so unaware of a brand new race being born, how they could be so unaware of the future loss of a fellow spirit.

The spirit would be cursed to live within a human's shell in a human's world, pushing its malevolence to the surface of the body it now was forced to share.

Heinous deeds would be committed, revenge schemes would be placed into action, and betrayed promises would be spawned.

A corrupted mind only has so far to fall when combined with the evil of something entirely new and unknown.

So yes, the Observers had no idea what was to come. It would be an unpleasant shock to their singular eyes, a problem that would only grow as time went on.

However, hope would rise again.

And it would be in the form of another spirit that was merged with a plain human, this merge much more peaceful and promising.

A merge that, once again, the great observers of Time would be blind to.

A Lesson From a Dog by QueenyLeAcH

The green glowing puppy pounced up and down in front of Danny, excited to show off his find. The ghost boy leaned down and reached for the animal, who promptly dashed away, barking. Danny looked at the creature, puzzled. The dog barked and started running down the street.

Danny had nothing else to do, so he decided to chase after the canine, they turned into an alley and saw a lone figure hunched over. Danny walked toward the red coated shadow. Never, in all his years, did he ever expect to see Dash Baxter bowed over a book.

A Fiery Uncalled for Visit by Ansa88

Currently, Dani, the clone of Danny, was jabbering away a mile a minute to the eyeballs. The Observants were quite surprised when the girl halfa showed up.

Clockwork suppressed a smile. It was about time the Observants had a surprise.

He heard something starting up, and ducked out of the way just in time for a searing heat to whizz past his head.

"And I can do that too!" Dani exclaimed, looking quite excited, "Just found out yesterday!"

Once again, it took all of Clockwork's self control to not burst out laughing at the priceless looks on the eyeballs' faces.

Temporary by dpluver

It had only been temporary.

This did, of course, explain how the only other half-ghost in existence spent years in the hospital after that portal overloaded, yet young Daniel had a mere 'accident' and was fine enough to go to school the following day.

But how had the Observants missed this? They had been perfectly content with offing a boy who was doomed to become the evilest ghost to have ever existed.

But now...

He was no longer a threat. He was no longer even a ghost.

Like a disturbing twist to the tale of Charlie Gordon, what had made Danny unique was no more.

Charlie Gordon is from "Flowers for Algernon"

Weren't those awesome? A HUGE thank you to everyone who participated! You are awesome, and these turned out so great! :3 Feel free to leave a review telling everyone so! haha.
