Hey! Okay Dani's diary is a little funnier than the other one's. It's a little longer too. Hope you like it!
Dear Diary,
WHERE THE HECK IS DANNY? I can't find that annoying cousin of mine, and I've looked up and down this town. He wasn't at home for like…the longest time, and it really bugs me that he won't show up to even 'attempt' to fight me. Surely his ghost sense had gone off by now right? Well, someone's sure has! I was attacked yesterday. A-T-T-A-C-K-E-D! Attacked by some stupid ghost hunter who apparently liked the color red. What a dork! I was totally nice to her and everything! She just…attacked! And she hit me too! Like, twice in the leg. Now I can't walk and my bandages are just a few Band-Aids I managed to snatch from the nurse's office at Casper High. Good thing it's summer and no one was there. Including Danny…AHH! I hate this town! When you want to find someone you…like…can't. I mean, come on! What's up with that? I need to tell him something really, really, REALLY important and he's no where to be found! At all! Anywhere! Maybe I'll find him in that carnival down there…
"Whoa…" Was all I could manage to say. This place was ENORMOUS! And that was putting it lightly. They had everything, from rides to food stands, music to games…it was amazing! I didn't know whether to look for Danny, or to just change human and enjoy the show.
But I had to find Danny. I just had to. Two nights ago I decided to drop by and pay my dear, old dad a visit. Oh, that and steal some money, break some things in his secret lab, and put orange color dye in his shampoo…
Bottom line, I was there. And I overheard him and some weird, fiery headed mechanical guy talking about kidnapping a girl named Jazz and using her as bait to lure 'Daniel Phantom'.
That's when I thought, 'Daniel Phantom! I know him!' And I was off to look for my lovable cousin that never shows up when you want him to and avoids his house like the plague.
"Danny, Danny, Danny," I said to myself, still invisible to the crowd of people below. "My half-ghost, original version of me…why can't you be like normal people and enjoy the-HEY!" I didn't have to worry about Danny because I saw someone just as good.
The goth girl that he hung out with was with an African American girl whom I didn't recognize. But who cares! And HEY! The fact that she was tied up made it even easier for me!
Quietly, I dropped down to their level, still staying in the air to avoid standing on my cut up leg. I wasn't eavesdropping, par se; more like…listening to everything they said while they were totally unaware that I was there…
Aw, who am I kidding? I was eavesdropping.
"Sam, stop struggling! We're almost there." The girl I didn't know said to the girl I needed.
"Valerie!" (Aaaaaand now I know her) Sam protested, "I said I didn't want to come to this stupid thing! And Danny's still mad at me! SO WHY THE HECK AM I HERE!"
Wait…Danny's mad? At her? I thought he had a crush on her…ah well, just take me to him and I'll fix that later.
Valerie sighed and gleamed over her shoulder at the bound and 'should-be-gagged' girl she was dragging along the grass.
"For the last time Sam," she said, somewhat annoyed, "I'm going to make you and Danny make-up. I hate to see you guys fighting."
'Beep' 'Beep' 'Beep'
Okay, now I'm a clone of a half ghost who was created by a fruit loop in order to have 'the perfect son', but even I found what happened next weird! And believe me, that's saying something.
Valerie let go of Sam and slammed her wrist with her hand. The 'Beep' 'Beep' 'Beeping' immediately stopped and the panicking girl jumped in a full 90 degree angle to face the goth that was (still tied up) but attempting to get on her feet and off of the ground.
"Sam, I'm sorry, but I have to go!" She said in almost one breath, "I'll be right back!" Sam watched in annoyance as the girl darted off into the bathroom and slammed the door behind her.
"Yeah," she muttered to herself, "go and hunt some stupid ghost. And Danny's going to show up, find Paulina, and get attacked by you. Just like I said it would happen." She sighed.
"HIYA, SAM!" I shouted, revealing myself at last. The girl in front of me screamed and flew backwards in fear.
"Danielle...?" She asked, I smiled gleefully.
"The one and only…where's Danny?" Sam looked at the ground guiltily.
"I don't know," she whispered sadly, still not meeting my eyes. I untied her and she muttered a simple 'thanks' that I barely caught.
"What's wrong with you?" I asked. She still didn't look up.
"Nothing…"
"Oh, really?" I asked sarcastically, "So Danny being mad at you is nothing?" Her head jerked up at that. I smiled triumphantly.
"How'd you-" she started until realization hit her face, "Oh, it's not polite to sneak up on people, you know…" I could do nothing but stare.
"Are you okay?" Was all that managed to slip from my lips. I slapped my hand on her forehead. "You seem so…not you."
"How so?" She asked, moving my hand aside.
"Well, for starters, you look horrible…eh…no offense…" She smiled weakly, but it faded pretty quick. I took that as a 'none taken' answer and continued talking:
"And you said 'polite', and 'sneak up on', and 'not'. What got into you?" Sam shrugged and finally got up off the ground.
"What happened to your leg?" She asked changing her tone from depressed to concern. I looked down subconsciously.
"Uh…" Was all I could manage to say before I was cut off by blast that shot right between Sam and me, sending us both to the ground.
"That…" I answered her question by pointing to the dork wearing red.
"I thought you left the last time I hit you!" The new girl snapped, charging her weapon again.
"Danielle!" Sam shouted, "Run! I'll go find Danny! Don't use your powers!" She took off and vanished in the sea of terrified people. I couldn't help but laugh. It sounded forced, but I really couldn't help it. Like I was really going to do something that would most likely make me a puddle of green gloop, come on Sam…use that semi-clouded, love-distracted head of yours.
The hunter shot at me again. I barely dodged it, and the blast was so close to my already injured shin. I had no choice but to take Sam's advice.
Shooting up into the air, I sped off and avoided the dork behind me at all costs. That was actually a little easier to do than yesterday. Yesterday, we were just in the sky, with no where to run or hide. Today, I can slip past her by doing fancy tricks around, next to, and through rides.
She had advantages too. One, I was hurt, and the stupid wound opened up again, so cold ectoplasm was running down my leg that felt really, really weird. And Two, I couldn't go invisible this time. I used up too much energy listening to Sam and Valerie's conversation, and I really couldn't afford using any of my powers.
Hurry up, Sam!
"I got you now!" She shouted, happily. Ow! She did too! Right in my bloody leg. That stupid blast made me fall out of the sky and straight into a vending machine (which also hurt).
I opened my eyes and saw the hunter hovering over me. She charged up her gun again and smiled through her visor.
"Goodbye, ghost kid!"
I squeezed my eyes shut and winced when I heard the blast being fired…but no pain. Slowly I opened my eyes and saw (not that stupid hunter) but my cousin in front of me. He had his back turned and his arms folded at the fallen girl that was picking herself up off the ground.
"Back off, Valerie!" Danny shouted. I don't think I ever saw him that mad. Not even at my dad, which is saying something because I know how much he hates him.
Valerie? Isn't Valerie the girl that was ditched Sam?
He looked over his shoulder and smiled at me, "You okay, Dani?" I stared for a second, unsure of what to say. Finally, I nodded tried to stand up. That didn't go too well. I would've fallen back on the ground if Danny hadn't caught me. He swung one of my arms around his neck to help support me and glared evilly at the hunter girl.
Valerie got up and looked Danny straight in the eye. She gritted her teeth.
"So you two are related, huh?" She asked. Her tone was harsh and cold. It scared me for some reason. It really did. I started to tremble and Danny must've noticed cause he pulled me a little closer.
"Good!" The girl spat, "I can get rid of you both! And it'll feel twice as good!"
Danny laughed. He laughed! At this girl who just threatened him. I seriously don't know how he does it…
"It'll be twice as hard," was all he said before I felt the familiar feeling of going invisible rush throughout my body and the ground give way beneath my feet as Danny and I flew away from the scene.
I winced in pain and Danny looked down sympathetically at me. I didn't want to admit it, but I couldn't feel my leg. It was numb from pain and icy from the wind nipping at it…but I wasn't going to say a word. I guess I got my stubbornness from Danny, but I wasn't planning on ever telling him the truth. No need to make him worry right?
I felt tired and I knew my eyes were drooping, but I had to stay awake…I had to stay…
…awake…
I was in Danny's bed when I woke up. Danny was kneeling on the floor. His head was on the bed beside me and he was fast asleep. I pushed the covers aside and saw my leg had been bandaged up properly. I didn't know if he did it or someone else.
Carefully crawling out of bed, I limped over to the door and opened it quietly. I was only in this house once, and that didn't last very long. I've only been in Danny's room, the upstairs hallway, and the Op Center, so I decided to do some exploring.
Only one door let light escape from it, due to the fact that it was open a little. I tried not to make the door squeak as I opened it further and peaked inside.
The room was pink and girly. Stuffed animals were scattered all over the floor. I walked inside and shut the window that was wide open and making a chilly breeze. I turned around and noticed a desk that was beside the bed. It was so…neat! Everything was all organized and set perfectly in place. I was about to leave this neat-freak's room when a lone book caught my attention. It was open and had handwriting in it. The first thing I thought was…a diary!
Okay, I know I shouldn't read it…I couldn't read it! It's like, a violation of privacy, a crime of all crimes! I was smart, and good. I respected this girl's property and walked out the door, straight to Danny's room, and went back to-
AHHHH! I READ THE DIARY! I opened it, turned to today, and started reading…
Oops…looks like Danny's up. I'll have to finish reading it later…
I still have to tell him about that Jazz girl…I wonder who she is. Ah well, not my problem. Besides, I need to fix that thing with Danny and Sam.
First things first! I better get on that!
Danielle Phantom
Bad, bad, Dani. Haha. I haven't seen Kindred Spirits in a looooooong time so I wasn't exactly sure if she was in character or not but she always seemed like a mischief kinda person anyway so she can't be that OOC. At leastI hope not...AnywayJazz's diary's next. See you next time!
