Trading Spaces

Part 1

Buzz! Buzz! Diana groaned at the sound of her alarm clock going off. Rising up and out of her bed, she made her way to the bathroom. Since there was only one bathroom upstairs Kula and Diana had to share. Grabbing the clothes she had picked out the night before, she headed towards the bathroom.

She was ready by seven-fifteen, and headed down stairs with her book bag on her shoulder. She sat her stuff down by the door and went into the kitchen. To her surprise her parents were already up, and had breakfast on the table. She said hello to them then sat down at an empty chair. Usually she was the one that had to make breakfast, because her parents didn't get up until late.

Christie sat the waffles on the table and sat down next to Jeff. Diana took some waffles then looked at her mom, who was playing with her food. After a few minutes of awkward silence, Diana was getting ready to speak up when her mom did instead. "What did you do last night while we were gone?" she asked.

"Nothing really just putting my stuff together for today," Diana replied.

"Really, did you get everything you needed?"

"Yep." Diana said getting tired of her mom beating around the bush. She could tell that there was something else on her mind other then seeing what she did last night.

"What time did you go to bed?" she asked.

"About ten, why?"

"What about your sister?"

"I'm not for sure what time she went to bed." she confessed. Diana wasn't very good with lying to her parents on purpose.

"Why don't you know what time your sister went to bed? When we leave we expect you to take care of your little sister. When you go to bed you should take her with you." her dad told her, looking over the newspaper he had been reading.

"I did tell her to go to bed. I practial begged her to come with me, but she said that she wanted to wait for you all." Diana exclaimed. She couldn't belive that she was the one getting the blame.

"That's not what she told us last night when we came in and she was still up." he retorted.

"I'm telling you the truth!"

"Just go on to school Diana. This conversation is pointless." her dad told her. Diana stood and walked over to the door and walked out.

The walk to school was boring and uneventful. She was still steaming that her parent had belied Kula, who has lied to them nonstop, and didn't believe her. She stopped at Casper High School, and looked around. It looked totally different then what she had seen yesterday during her wild run.

Teens were gathered everywhere. There were some under a tree, some by the door, and others sitting on the bleachers. Diana walked up to the main entrance and walked in. She found the office on her left and entered. Her mom had told her and Kula (who was over at the middle school), to go to the office and get their assigned class's.

After getting her class schedule and locker combination, she wondered around looking for her first class. Turning around a curve, she fell back and landed on the ground. Looking up she realized that she had just ran into someone. "Um… Sorry I didn't see you coming." She explained to the guy lamely without looking up. Once she did look up, she realized that she had just hit an extremely hot guy.

"That's ok. Just be a little more observant." He replied laughing slightly as he rose from the floor and held out a hand to help her up.

She laughed slightly, feeling like a total idiot. Here she was standing in front of a blondish, brown hair, looked to be a football player, babe; and all that she could think to say was sorry.

He looked at what she was holding in her hands then looked back at her. "I see that you're new around here. That explains why we ran into each other." he said slightly laughing.

"Yea I've never been here before and I don't really know where I'm going."

"Let me see your classes' one more" He looked over them then looked back at Diana. "You have first period with me. I'll help you get there and show we were the rest of your classes are on the way." He finished. Diana galded took this chance to find her way around. "By the way my names James Backster." he said walking next to her.

"I'm Diana Comely. Glad to meet you." she finished thinking that she was the lamest person for saying that.

They stepped into their first period classroom and Diana went over to the teacher. He greeted her as Mr. Lancer and told her to take a seat next to a girl named Samantha. Samantha's appearance kind of through Diana for a loop. She didn't know what to think. She was wearing all back and had lilac eyes.

It wasn't until Samantha stood up and stared to come near her that she realized that she was staring. Quickly turning around, she started to dig through her book bag. "Hey." Samantha called as she stood next to Diana's desk.

"Hey," was all that Diana could reply.

"I heard that you're the new kid on the block. I'm Samantha Manson, or as my friends call me Sam."

Diana was shocked. Usually when people ask if you're new they tease you about it, but this girl was being extremely nice to her. "I'm Diana Comely, and yea it's true that I'm the new kid."

Diana looked behind Sam and there were two other guys headed their way. Sam turned around and waved at them, then motioned them to come over. One of the guys had a red hat, green eyes, and had a PDA in his hand; and was whispering to the guy beside him. The other guy had raven hair and blue eyes, and was looking at Sam in a questioning way.

"Diana," Sam started to get her attention, "This is Tucker," she pointed to the one holding the PDA, "and this is Danny." She finished pointing to the guy. They said hello and Diana introduced herself. They didn't have enough time to talk more. Mr. Lancer was beginning to talk, and Tucker and Danny took their seats. Tucker seat on the other side of Sam, and Danny was in front of her. It wasn't until after Mr. Lancer stopped making us take notes that Diana looked around the classroom.

She didn't realize how big it was at the beginning, but when she did an approximant count she came up with at least thirty people. She looked to were James was sitting. He looked to me sitting with some other football players, cheerleaders, and jocks. That didn't really surprise her. She kind of had the impression that he was a jock.

She looked to where Sam was sitting. Danny was turned around and Tucker was leaning close. Even though Danny thought that he was whispering she could hear him loud and clear from her seat. "Sam tell me, why did you decide to make friends with Diana? This is very unlike you. Usually you avoid the new kids." Danny asked.

"I don't know. I just have a good feeling about her and what do you mean this is unlike me?" she retorted.

"What he means is that you usual try to avoid the new kids." Tucker answered.

"That because they are usually stuck up their own butts. Besides I think that she's cool and I'm going to see if she wants to join us for lunch." Sam declared in a tone that left no room for disagreeing. She stood and walked over to Diana's desk.

They talked for several minutes, but the bell intruded them. Before they left Sam stopped Diana. "Would you like to join us for lunch?" she asked.

"Sure, but how can I find you?" Diana replied thankful that she wouldn't have to eat lunch by herself like she usually had to when she switched schools.

"Your locker is next to mine. I'll meet you there." she called as she made her way to her class. Diana walked down the long hallway and into her second class. She talked to the teacher and took an empty seat.

The day flew by and Diana thought that it was going pretty well. She had talked to James again in the hallway. She had made several new friends, and had someone to eat lunch with. Once the bell rang Diana walked to her locker to find that Sam was already there with Tucker and Danny.

They grabbed their books for the next class and took of towards the lunchroom. Finding an empty table they sat down and started to eat. Sam questioned her about how she arrived to Amity Park, and why Amity Park for all places. She told them about her parents work and what they did for a living. "Hang on," Danny said stopping Sam in mid sentence, "are your parents the Comely's?"

Diana looked up from her sandwich for a moment; her face went from smiling to mad to sad all at the same time. When she thought that she had a steady voice she replied, "Yea, sadly."

Danny looked at her for a moment confused. Then decided to speak up. "What do you mean sadly? When I met them last night they were really friendly."

"Hang on you're a Fenton?"

"Yep, your parents came over last night to talk to mine."

"They have there times. Their nice to people that have a huge interest in ghost hunting, but other people they just tolerate." Diana finished. She thought back to the fight she had with them that morning, and wished she hadn't ate all of her sandwich.

Shaking her head, she tried to clear argument out of her head. Looking back up at the table she noticed that everyone was looking her. She wanted to ask why they were staring at her, but instead she just smiled and turned to Tucker who had his PDA in his hand. "Nice PDA, I use to have one until my sister took it." she committed to get the awkward silence to go away, and boy did it work. Tucker started talking a hundred miles a minute, and Sam and Danny just smack their foreheads.

Diana hide the smile that was threating her lips. She had never seen anyone talk so fast in her life. It wasn't too much longer before he was interrupted. Danny ran to the bathroom and Tucker ran after him; Danny whispered something to Sam and she nodded as he ran off.

Diana looked at Sam wondering what was going on, but before she could question her, Diana saw her own breath. She wasn't to sure on what to do or what she should do. Clockworth told her to keep her powers a secret, which meant she couldn't change in front of Sam.

Looking around for an excuse she finally decided that the bathroom would do. She hated having to go into school bathrooms, they also stuck. Telling Sam where she was going she ran down the hallway and found the bathroom.

Changing into her Phantom form she paced wondering what she should do. A scream inferred her thoughts and she flew out of the stall. She didn't realize how close the door was until she was right up on it. Covering her head she waited for the impact of running right smack dab into it. To her surprise she went straight through it.

Looking around she saw a ghost in a metal suit and Danny Phantom flying toward it. It took her a minute to figure out that she needed to go fight it too. Flying up to it, she wasn't for sure what she should do. She didn't know how to use her powers; she hardly knew how to change back into her human self let alone fight.

She tried to watch Danny Phantom as much as she could without being seen, but she fell out of being intangible and the ghost saw her. "Well, Well, Well. I see that you have a new superhero in town." he said looking straight at her. Danny Phantom turned around confused. When he saw her she just smiled and waved at him.

With Danny's attention at her the ghost took advantage of it and hit Danny and Diana both with what Diana thought was some kind of shocking device. They both feel to the floor. Danny was up first and helped Diana up. Once they were up Danny hung on to Diana and flew away from the ghost.

They landed in a trashed classroom. Diana guessed that the ghost did this. "Who are you? How did you get here and what are you doing here?" Danny asked looking dead serious. This was the first time Diana ever saw Danny serious, and she hoped it would be the last.

"I'm Diana umm…Phantom, and I really don't mean any harm. I was sent here without knowing what to do, and how to work these powers." she replied rushing to find answers. She wasn't the worlds best liar, but thankfully for her he bought it.

"Did Vlad send you?"

"Who's Vlad?"

"I'll take that as a no, but we need to get out of here before Skulker finds us. As if on cue the ghost that Danny claimed was named Skulker came flying in the room.

"Looks like I have to make room for two plaits on my chemily." Skulker said looking at Diana. Diana's eyes widen at the mention of him having her butt. Skulker was getting ready to fire a gun at her, but at the last minute Danny jumped in front of her, and made them intangible.

Standing up they ran, Danny first then Diana following him. When they came to a dead end in the room Danny turned to Diana. "Shoot something at him!" he yelled looking around for something heavy. Danny still didn't trust her, but he needed help. Some how Skulker had strengthened and was more powerful then his worst enemy Dan, and his guess was that Vlad upgraded his suit again.

Diana concentrated as hard as she could to shoot something, and at the last minute an ectoblaster came shooting out of hand, and hit Skulker head on. He was surprised that Diana's blast had hit him, and turned to the girl glaring. She turned to Danny who was taking a deep breath. Then out of no where he used his ghostly wail, forgetting that Diana was in front of him. She fell flat to the ground changing into her human form. Danny gasped at who he saw laying on the ground in front of him. He heard another gasp and turned to see Sam and Tucker staring at her too.

"I can't believe it!" Tucker exclaimed walking over to Diana.

Sam carefully pulled Diana up and laid Diana's head on her lap. "I can," she told them calmly.

Danny looked at her then looked around for Skulker. He was no where in sight. He figured that Skulker was taking this as his chance to escape. After he full navigated the room, he turned back to Tucker and Sam. "What do you mean you can believe it?"

"I saw her change from phantom to Comely under the bridge yesterday, during the fight with the box ghost." she concluded. Danny just stared at her blankly. He didn't really know what to think.

Danny grabbed a wet cloth lying on the other side of the room and put it on her forehead. Gradually Diana began to gather consciousness. Opening her eyes into slits she realized that she was back into her human form. She turned wide eyed to Sam, Tucker and Danny Phantom. Had they seen me change back? She thought to herself while turning from one to the other.

"Yes Diana, we saw you change." Sam exclaimed as if she were reading her mind.

"Please don't tell anyone!" Diana begged.

"We won't tell if you won't," and at that Danny turned back into Fenton. Diana looked at him shocked. It wasn't really that hard to figure out that he was the ghost boy. They both sound the same; Danny Fenton, Danny Phantom. What more of a hint could she ask for?

"I won't tell anyone. Trust me."

"I told you I had a good feeling about her." Sam told them smirking. They all started to laugh and exited the room.

The bell rang to quickly for school to be over Diana thought. The day took a total opposite of what she thought it would. She stopped at her locker before heading home, and was hoping she could have a private chat with Sam. She was lost in her thoughts when someone came up and shut her locker. Looking up she saw James smiling down at her. "What'd you do that for?" she asked good naturally.

"You looked like you were lost again."

"And slamming my locker shut was your way of getting me back to earth?"

"It worked didn't?" He asked raising one eyebrow. He didn't give her time to answer before he continued talking, "how was the rest of your first day?"

"It was good. I didn't run into anyone else." They laughed and chated for a couple of minutes, then he had to leave to get to football practice, and she had to find Sam.

After fighting with her combination she finally reopened it. It wasn't long until Sam arrived, and Diana was dyeing to talk to her. She was planning on talking to her while she was getting her books, but she noticed that Danny and Tucker were behind her. "Hey." they called in unison.

"Hey guys." Diana called back shutting her locker. Sam was beside her locker and the others were far behind. Diana figured that now would be a good time to see if her were open to talk. "Hey Sam what are doing after you leave here?"

"Nothing, why?" Sam was pushing and pulling books in and out of her locker.

"I kind of need to talk to you when you have time."

"Ok, how about we go out to the picnic tables out front?" Sam suggested shutting her locker. They were getting ready to head out the door when Danny stopped them by calling out their names. They both turned around and told him that they would meet him and Tucker at the Nasty Burger.

Once out on the picnic tables Diana figured that she might as just come straight out with what she wanted to say. "I need advice, big time." Diana told her.

"On what?"

"On this ghost thing. I don't know what to do! I don't know how to use them or anything. Plus… never mind."

"Danny, Tucker and I can help you with the ghost thing, but it will take some time."

Diana looked at her watch and saw that it was getting late and told them that she had to go. She had to make supper for the family and get her homework done before her sister started to complain.

Once home she started some spaghetti and took a handful of grapes from the fridge. Kula wasn't home yet and Diana figured that she was out with some of her new friends. Diana had just opened her books on the kitchen table when she heard the door slam. It was unlike Kula to be home early, but Diana didn't think much about it.

Her parents were home just in time for super. Diana yelled at them to come and eat, then went up stairs to find her sister. She knocked on the door and no one answered, but she could hear her. Opening the door she saw that her sister was curled up on her bed. She started to walk forward, but Kula stopped her. "Don't come near me!" Kula yelled with a shaky voice. Diana wanted to steep forward, but she knew her sister to well. If she stepped forward then there was going to be a big explosion.

Turning to go out the door Diana called back, "Supper's ready." and with that she shut the door and went down the stairs. Kula came down just as they were starting to eat. Diana looked at Kula, and realized that Kula had put a lot of makeup on; their parents on the other hand didn't seem to realize it.

"How was school?" Christie asked Diana as she put a meatball in her mouth.

"Great. I've made several new friends," Diana explained her day between bits of food.

Once she was done telling about her day, Jeff turned to Kula. "How did you're day go?"

"Fine," was all that Kula replied. Diana looked at her curiously, but Kula just shrugged her shoulders.

After supper Diana went up to her room to finish her homework, but had a hard time concentrating. It was unlike Kula to have a 'fine' day. Usually she was bragging about who liked her, who she knew, who she was friends with, etc, etc. Finally she just gave up and decided she would be able to concentrate after she went to talk to Kula.

She first thought about knocking, then thought back to what happened last time. Diana really didn't want to start an argument with her sister. Instead of knocking she opened the door a crack, and looked around for Kula. Diana only saw one light on in the room, and her sister was next to it. She couldn't really tell what Kula was doing, was she crying and had her head down, or was she reading? Diana wondered.

Going up to her sister she put a gentle arm on Kula's shoulder. Diana expected her to jump up and pull an ectoblaster out, but instead she just merrily turned around. Looking down Diana saw that all of the makeup that she had put on was running down her little sister's check. "I'm guessing you're day went terribly wrong." Kula just nodded her head, and didn't offer to tell Diana about it. "Do you want to talk about?" Kula shook her head no, and looked up at Diana for the first time that night. "If it makes you feel any better I'll be coming by your school tomorrow to pick you up. I'm to sure why, but mom asked me to." Diana told her hoping that it would make her speak up. When she didn't Diana turned to leave. "You know were I am when you want to talk about it," and with that Diana shut the door and left the room.

Once in her own room Diana found it a little easier to concentrate. She had a feeling that she knew what happened, but was going to wait and let Kula tell her herself. She didn't know why she cared that much about how Kula's day went, Kula never cared about how her day went when she was picked on, and had no friends. She just figured that she wanted to be a better sister then Kula had been when she was in her shoes, a few months ago.

After finishing her homework at eleven-o-clock, she walked downstairs and saw that the lab lights were still on. Figures that their still up. She thought as she walked back through the house and up the stairs. She went into the bathroom that her sister and her shared and finished getting ready for bed.

When she was done she was on her way to her room when she thought that she should check on her sister. Creeping over to Kula's door, she noticed that she was sound asleep in her bed. Gentle closing the door back to crept back into her room.
