When I woke up I saw that I was in a hospital room. I tried to sit up but someone lightly pushes me back down on the bed. "Lay back down, you still need to rest, Danielle, " a female voice told me.
"What happened," I asked, "where's my mom and dad and my sister Jazz?"
"They are in the waiting room, now please lay back down," the nurse told me. I nodded and did as I was told.
"2 questions, what's your name and can Jazz come and see me, please," I asked, "and only Jazz, please."
She nodded and said,"my name is Liley."
Nurse Liley walked to a door and went in and came back out with a cup in her hand. "Here drink some water," she said as she hands me the cup. I drank it all it was good to have something cold to drink.
"How long was I out," I asked as I handed Liley the cup. "About a few hours" she answered and I looked at her shocked. "What happened," I asked as she walked to the door. "Your were in an accident where you were badly shocked" she answered as she turned back to the door and walked out of the room.
After Nurse Liley brought Jazz into the room, Jazz ran to me and gave me a hug. "Are you feeling better, Dani?" Jazz asked with concern laced in her voice. "Yeah, I feel really good. Actually, I feel like could run around and do flips for hours" I told her.
"Oh no, you're not, Danielle" Nurse Liley told me "you need to rest!" She over to me and put a hand on my forehead. "Well no fever, that's good, but let me take your temperature" she got up and grabbed a thermometer. She walked back over to me and put it in my mouth.
A few seconds later there was beeping from the thermometer and she looked at me shocked. "That can't be right," she said more to herself than anyone. she took it again and I'm guessing she got the same results because she looked shocked once again.
"I'm going to go get your mom and dad, ok," she said as she headed to the door and left.
Jazz and I looked at each other confused "I wonder what was wrong with your temperature" Jazz said what I was thinking. "Me too, Jazz," I told her.
Jazz crawled onto my hospital bed and hugged me. "I'm happy that you're alright, Dani" Jazz said a little shakily.
Nurse Liley came back a few minutes later with mom and dad right behind her. Nurse Liley grabbed the thermometer again and took my temperature for the third time.
Mom looked like she has been crying, dad looked like he was about to cry, and Jazz was crying and was still hugging me.
Nurse Liley showed mom and dad the thermometer and mom looked at me with sad eyes.
"Sweetie are you cold?" Mom asked as Jazz sat up and looked at me.
"No I'm actually really hot" I answered as I kicked off my blankets and wiped away the sweat that had formed on my forehead.
"The rooms at 65, Danielle" Nurse Liley told me.
"It feels like it's 100 and please call me Dani, " I told her.

I have been released from Amity Park Hospital. The doctor had told mom, dad, Jazz, and me that I should stay in bed for a few more days. 'Do you know how hard that is for an acrobat to do' I thought when they told us 'it was bad enough here.'
We are in the car on our way home, Jazz and I were talking about what happened during the accident.
"You were getting close to the-" she trailed off before starting again "where did your hand go?" panic laced in her voice.
I looked down and saw nothing where my hand should be, "I-I d-don't k-know." I told her with panic in my voice too. A few seconds after I said that my hand thankfully reappeared.
- - - - A Month Later - - - -
Jazz and I were in my room when she asked: "has anything strange happened to you since the incident in the car?" I nodded.
"Yeah, but I'm trying to control them better," I told her.
Jazz smiled at me "I'm happy to hear that" she squealed "can we work on my Romanian" and I nodded.
We worked on Jazz's Romanian for a few hours. Mom came into my room to tell us it was time for dinner. Jazz and I ran down the stairs and into the kitchen. We had spaghetti.
After dinner Jazz and I had to get ready for school tomorrow. (Well I'm home-schooled but they have me go to bed and get up like Jazz does.)
"Jazz?" I asked as we headed upstairs.
"Yeah."
"Can I stay in your room tonight?"
"Yeah, we can have a sleepover in my room," Jazz said excitedly "go get changed into your pj's."
"ok," I said as I ran into my room and changed into my pj's and went to Jazz's room.
Jazz and I crawled into her bed and snuggled together.
"Good night, Dani" Jazz sleepily.
"Night, Jazz" I mumbled.
- - - - A Year Later - - - -
Jazz and I are on the car, well RV, on our way to school, it's the first day of school. I'm really excited. Milley and I found out we have first grade together. I couldn't sit still.
"Dani, you're bouncing the seat, please sit still," Jazz said as she tried to keep me from bouncing. Keyword: tried
"I can't help it I'm really excited," I told her "I get to see Milley again."
We arrived at Casper Elementary. Mom was taking me to my and dad was taking Jazz to her class. The good thing is her class was across the hall.
"Mom can I talk to Dani real quick," Jazz asked as she grabbed my hand.
"Sure sweetie," Mom said as she and dad started to talk with each other.
Jazz walked out of earshot of mom and dad. "Have you been able to control your ghost powers?" Jazz asked as she patted my hair.
"Yeah," I said, "please stop petting my hair, it's annoying."
She smiled and hugged me. "Good luck, little sister."
We walked back over to mom and dad. Mom grabbed my hand and walked me to my class again. When we walked in I spotted Milley sitting at a table by herself.
"Milley!" I yelled as I ran over to her and hugged her.
"Dani!" She yelled as she hugged me back "sit here next to me." She sat me in the chair on her left
"Bye, sweetie see you after school." Mom said as she gave me a hug and kiss.
- - - - After School - - - -
Jazz picked me up from my class and walked me to the RV.
"How was your first day," Jazz asked as we walked out of the school.
"Good, Ms. Grey is really nice" I replied with a smile "how was yours?"
"Good. Any mishaps with your. . . Abilities" Jazz asked as we got closer to the RV.
"No, nothing happened, but can I tell Milley," I asked as Jazz opened the door and buckled me in my seat. "Sure, you can" Jazz replied.
"How was your first day of school," Mom asked as she started the RV and drove us home.
- - - - Week Later - - - -
Milley and I were playing on the playset when a cute boy came and asked if he could play with us. He had short brown hair just passed his ears and hazel eyes. He wore a black shirt with a light blue ghost on it, black pants and black combat boots with white laces.
"Yeah" Milley answered "my name is Milley"
"Și eu sunt Dani (And I'm Dani)" I accidentally said in Romanian.
"And my friend's name is Dani, " Milley told the boy, he looked at me confused.
"I'm Hayden but you can call me Hay" the boy, Hayden said, "can she speak English at all?"
"Yeah but when I get angry, scared, or nervous I speak in Romanian," I said with a little of my accent.
"Oooh, that's cool," Hayden said happily.
We all played together and had a lot of fun. Turns out Hayden is new in town and is in our class.
After school Milley and Hayden came over for a sleepover (since it's a Friday) and we talked about what we like to do, like to eat, and about us like Milley and Hayden are an only child or how I speak two different languages. Milley and I found out that Hayden is shy and likes dark colors. I told them how mom and dad are ghost hunters.
"No way, that's awesome," Hayden said as his eyes lit up.
"Hayden, they've never seen or caught one," I said, "and they probably couldn't catch one if it lived our house."
"Call me Hay," he said as he walked over to my bed "you never know, Dani they might"
"Trust me they couldn't," I said as covered my mouth realizing my slip up.
"Is anyone hungry?" Milley asked as she got up and walked to the door.
"Yeah," Hayden and I said at the same time as we got up and followed Milley.
"Hey Milley, Hay I'm going to be right back, k," I said as I walked upstairs to Jazz's room.
When I made it to her room I knocked and said: "Jazz it's Dani can I ask you something?"
"Yeah sure, come in little sister" Jazz answered as she opened her door and I walked in.
"What do you need to ask me about," she asked as we made our way to her bed and sat down.
"Can I tell Milley and Hay about Phantom?" I asked as I laid back on her bed.
"You want to, Dani, it's your secret" she answered as she laid back as well.
"K, well I have to head back to down to Milley and Hay," I said as I sat up and headed back to where Milley and Hay were.
When I made it back to the living room, Milley and Hay were laying on the floor talking. "Guys, I have to tell you something in my room," I told them as we get up and headed towards the stairs.
What do you need to tell us?" Milley asked as I closed the door.
"Yea, " Hay said as he sat on my bed.
"I'm a ghost," I told them and they looked at me confused "I'll show you." and I transformed into my alter-ego, I like to call Dani Phantom.
